What This Blog is About

There are 2 primary groups interested in surviving catastrophe in the contemporary United States -- the old-school, right-wing, Christian, Survivalist gun addicts; and the granola-eating, peace-loving, vegetarian, eco-villaging Peaknik Hippies. Neither group adequately addresses the issues at hand, and, in fact, Survivalists and Hippies are almost diametrically opposed in actions and ideologies. And yet, each side does offer valuable and unique perspectives to the survival-minded individual. As a Hippie Survivalist, I have one foot in each camp, but I belong to neither. Neither group provides me with the foundation I am looking for. This blog is an attempt to hijack the most constructive and realistic elements from each camp, and use them to create a practical "survivalist" ethos/website that will be of use to anyone, without regard to political/religious ideologies. Blog entries, fast fiction, humor, horror, book & equipment lists, and useful links are all par for the course.

Day 1

No idea what to say. Words fail me. Armed with a battery-powered electric chainsaw and a muzzle-loading pistol shotgun called a Howdah, I fight the zombie hordes by day. By night I write this blog. I am out of beer and cigarettes. My dinner is cold. Outside, the conservatives are getting eaten alive.
