I get tired of threads that ask questions like "What 3, 2, or 1 item(s) would you take in a real survival situation. I recently bought & re-watched the movie "Defiance" that, as most of you already know, is the true story of Russian Jews hiding out in the woods in 1941 during the German/Nazi occupation/invasion of their country. They were being systematically slaughtered and many of them survived by banding together in the wilderness. Starting out, however, there were only four brothers with a hand axe, fire-making equipment, and a pistol with only 4 rounds. They only had the clothes on their backs that they were wearing before they were blitzed and didn't have time to shop an the local "Outdoor stores" and get some really great stuff. Over 1200 survived and built a school, hospital, & nursery in the forest until they could come back out. The film showed the battles they faced with each other as well as their circumstances. There was a battle for leadership within the group resulting in the current leader shooting & killing a challenger who was compromising the well being of the group. The 2 main brothers fought over weather the group goal was to fight as an army or to establish a community. Slowly the group organised itself into what it was to become. It was a perfect model of group survival and teaches us all what we should be considering in a SHTF scenario! What do you think chould/could be done if you found yourself in such a situation? :cool2:
