Introduction (for newcomers)

Suit up, please.

This is the part of the blog where I'm supposed to give you some elaborate mission statement about survival and fighting the good fight... but I'm not going to. Anything you hear from this intro will just be another variation of something you've probably already heard about a thousand times before. If not, you haven't been on the internet long enough - if so, you're probably discovering this blog at 3AM with four empty cans of your choice of hardcore caffeinated beverage next to your keyboard.

I will say this though:
"Please prepare yourself, suit up and get ready."

In all seriousness the real purpose of this blog is to act as an open forum on survival discussion both in an everyday practical sense as well as a tactical sense looking forward.  Many things here can be used in hypothetical and actual realistic scenarios.
And please - Always keep an open mind.
