Here's something I thought I'd pass along.

"Experts explain what you need—and what you don't—to stay alive during a catastrophe"

Here's the Newsweek article: 'It's Psychologically Healthy to Prepare'

Good article, thanks. This has been proven time and again in the LE, SAR, medical, and military communities, and even such obvious groups as the boyscouts. Unfortunately, once the coverage of Katrina abates, the average person will flip back to 'in denial mode', until the next catastrophe, unless they were directly impacted by this one.

..as it was during the 80's and 90's (American Survival Guide,SoF's Survive etc comes to mind) but for many of us "knifenuts"(and I strongly suspect gun-nuts,and survivalist-nuts)-"survivalism" is rather simple and logical.To my mind it's merely prudent and intelligent preparations fostering a healthy independence ;the idea has never gone away."I was into survivalism before survivalism was cool" to paraphrase Barbara Mandrell's song. :thumbup:
