American Survival Blog

I was neglecting this blog for a long time for two reasons. The first is that I tend to concentrate on my political blog but frankly that’s starting to wear thin. The second is that there are so many good survival blogs about there I didn’t feel like competing with them.

But times are changing. I’ve seen a lot of bad information out there not just on the Internet but now on television. With Americans’ lifestyles set to change significantly in the next few years it is more important than ever that good information get out there that people can use.

Survivalism isn’t about looting Wal-Marts after a Zombie pandemic, it’s about being able to feed yourself and your family when times are rough. It’s not about living out your Fallout 3 fantasy, it’s about living through America’s descent into second or maybe third world status in relative comfort and safety. I’m no expert in surviving TEOTWAWKI but neither is anyone else. I have however been very poor, lived in high crime areas and had to make do in my life so I think I have something to add to the conversation.

We’ll be resume a 3-5 time a week publishing schedule starting today. I hope you enjoy the reboot of American Survival Blog

American Survival Blog is a disaster preparedness blog that will gather together what I deem to be the best survival tips and products for those interested in being prepared for what life throws at them. It is a survivalist site but not one that promotes the many fringe ideologies that have (unfortunately) come to be associated with survivalism. This site will examine ways to ensure you and your family’s safety under any circumstance, and hopefully teach you ways to be more self sufficient and independent.

The name is an homage to the now defunct American Survival Guide magazine I was a fan of in the late ’80s and early ’90s, though ASB owes more to magazines like The Backwoodsman then to what as I matured I realized was hard right fantasy. Though I hope to cover all aspects of survival here, this blog is about a lifestyle of self-reliance that will enable you to survive any situation, not about apocalyptic gloom and doom or conspiracy mongering.

All are welcome, including you doom and gloomers and NWO watchers, to stop in, give us your two cents worth and hopefully form a community of individuals prepared to live through any disaster, and live through them well!

Enjoy and hope to hear from you soon.
