wildman800 Carpal Tunnel Registered: 11/09/06 Posts: 2847 Loc: La-USA	Yes, I too have noticed the sudden uptick in Survival stories. The biggest difference that I've noticed about the increase is that "us" "survival nuts" are no longer being cast in a "semi-deranged state of mind". _________________________ QMC, USCG (Ret) The best luck is what you make yourself!

BobS Old Hand Registered: 02/08/08 Posts: 924 Loc: Toledo Ohio	The article is not really a be prepared as it doesn’t talk about any kind of kit. Not even a flashlight in mentioned. It’s more about understanding the need to run and get away from a given event. Getting away is very important, but it along with a small kit of basic items would be better. _________________________ You can run, but you'll only die tired.
