I agree with revy and all the rest, we need to arrange an informal meet. Trust is VERY VERY important, and these take time to cement. We all know how we respond in everyday life and even moderate stress levels, but do we know how we would each would respond if the s*** really does hit the fan.

The thing about survival is that people are unpredictable, unless preparations and firm friendships have been created over many months, if not years then I am not sure how any survival community would work in the long run.

Team work is key, and we need a firm strategy in place. Meditation is very important, but so is the ability to know how you respond after a week without any food and hardly any sleep.

We can't afford to look towards the light, and forget about the basics of human survival, but then again we can't live our life in constant state of expecting the worst.

Prepare, but do it lovingly and for the benefit of others.
