What got you into survival?
Now I'm sure that some were born into this way of life, while others got into it gradually and others may have jumped right in. I'm sure many of us have varying degrees of survival/preparedness that we feel comfortable with as well. That would also depend on your location, I mean preparing for a hurricane if you live in Montana would be a little useless. I guess I am gradually getting into the whole thing. As a kid I grew up mostly in rural areas, so that helped make me comfortable in the woods. Hunting, fishing, camping, hiking etc was a part of life. Then I moved to the city where survival is just as important. I was in Boy Scouts, joined the Army, then the Air Guard, traveled a lot, been through mutiple tornados, 2 huricannes, 1 blizzard, several ice storms and many other things that have helped me learn from the situation. Was I always prepared for these situations....NO, not even close. Seems to be a pattern for me to learn from each situation and add what I needed then for the next time. I have a lot to learn and will probably find myself unprepared again at some point....how about you? Have you always been prepared? What made you get the survival mindset?
