The modern world [of survivalism] is full of pundits, poseurs, and Mall Ninjas. Preparedness is not just about accumulating a pile of stuff. You need practical skills, and those come only with study, training, and practice. Any armchair survivalist with a credit card can buy a set of stylish camouflage fatigues and an "M4gery” carbine encrusted with umpteen accessories. Style points should not be mistaken for genuine skills and practicality. (James Wesley Rawles)
