    I just stumbled upon this section..

    ..I had a "prepper" thread over in the "hobby" forum but hadn't known this existed so I'll be stopping around. While I do the "gun" thing a bit I'm far more interested in medical, food storage, water, and energy issues. I remember being part of the old "Survivalist" movement back the late 70/s...
