The Twelve Tenants of Survival in the Modern World.


It seems that when a group of people that are like minded get together they form a list of their core beliefs or philosophies.  Christians will immediately refer to the Ten Commandments as their guidance or list of the way they should live their lives and how they should treat others.  We the People of the United States of America look towards our Constitution as the guiding principle in how we allow our elected leaders run our government, even if it seems none of them have read it lately or follow it as they should.  What about a list of tenants or guiding principles for Modern Survivalists or Preppers.  No, not a checklist of what to buy, what to store away, or which skill-sets to learn, but a foundation of how and why we prepare for life’s emergencies as a foundational guide to fall back on as we attempt to do the right things for the right reasons.
Several folks have put together a list of these core beliefs or tenants that describe the philosophy of Modern Survivalists.  The best one that I have found lately is from Jack Spirko the host of "The Survival Podcast".
  • Prepare for Everything Including Nothing Going Wrong
  • Debt Is Cancer Kill It
  • Grow and Produce Some of Your Own Food
  • Tax Is Theft Pay Only What You Must
  • Stored Food is a Safe Investment
  • Understand Disaster Probability and Commonality
  • Green Energy Is For Independence Not Saving Polar Bears
  • Own Land and Make It Produce
  • Utilize Pragmatic Preparations
  • Have a Means of Defense
  • Have Full Documentation for Any Disaster Need
  • Develop Your Own Plan
I am planning on looking into each of these concepts in my next few posts to share some of this philosophy with you.  I would like to encourage you to start taking control of your life and start preparing yourself and your family to enjoy life in a way that is happier, more self sufficient, and more secure than ever before.
