So here's the skinny; I just posted a new blog on bugging out and referenced the 1st post on this thread that WE posted way back in 2007. Click on the link....:cool2:

AS, you live in Alaska...you've already "bugged-out!" :nod: :2:

For those of you who think "bugging-out" is an option, you need to read this thread! :nod:

Alright Nell, I'll knock it off.

Great Post Ryan, however you might remember waaay back I said the group that would be the model is this group.:rolleyes: Do you really think they would make those kind of decisions that would...

Great post Mangyhyena, however we're not talking about electing the President of the United States, but picking the right person to get everybody out as safely as possible. In a "perfect" situation...

I'm responding to several of you at once here. Yes, I do ask the hard questions. Like some of you, I was "alone" when growing up, though not by choice. I'm different, always have been, guess I...

And sometimes I am! I totally agree with what you said about living off of the land! it's not going to be as cool as les & Bear make it look while we relax in our air-conditioned living rooms...

The problem with a head-butting contest is that the biggest butt-head usually wins.:rolleyes: However, all that to the side, maybe Wareagle can answer some of the questions I've raised since I've...

Okay, I've deleted the "Zen"story to get to the "Nuts & bolts" here, no puns intended. VW, you hit the nail on the head and I'm highly honored that you would include me in your "group choice." ...

WOW! You are right, self-declared leaders usually have an over-inflated opinion about themselves and their abilities. The thing is, however, if it's an ideal situation you could probably leave and...

So let me ask you this, since you just put the truth to what I asked earlier about "Independent types fitting into a team." What do you look for in a good leader:confused:

Excellent question, Owl Girl. The answer is "NO!". He would be free to go his own way. As a matter of fact, he would have to! The old trite saying goes: "There is no 'I' in the word 'Team'." ...

VW, you seem to me to be a "deep thinker." I also find that you are a very intelligent individual and that while you would probably not make a good leader, you could probably be accurate in picking...

Ahh yes, the $64,000 question. The qualities that define a "good" leader are many. They earn, and hopefully justify the trust placed in them by the group. The "common" good, as was referred to...

Any "group survival situation" is really a small, temporary society. There are rules that will be unpopular with some people, it's inevitable. Those rules will have to be upheld, however, even with...

Great! You're our enforcer! Sound silly? Let's look at a possibility that could arise. Suppose the only knife in the group was that $1000 Strider that we all know is owned by an actual...

That sounds good in theory, but I guarantee you, in actual practice all knids of things rise up!:eek:

Okay Owl Girl is both the Camp Massuse and Medicine woman:rolleyes: , anybody else?:confused:

Now I gotta ask this question...what kind of wood are we talkin' about? Hickory? Oak?? Pine? Some will burn long & even, others fast & furious, and before you know it you're out lookin' an'...

Your welcome, VW. Something that's important in any survival situation where a group is involved is "resources". Using this group as a model I wonder how we might asses and utilize the resources...

The above initials stand for "Post-Apoclyptic-Scenario, which I will refer to as Scenario "B" for short. Scenario "A" will be for "short-term" survival situations that rarely last over 72 hours, and...
