I challenged the dominant meme in Pops thread about doom locations and I see that's going over like a lead balloon. Nevertheless, I think I've touched on an important topic, something that isn't given much weight here. I noticed that there isn't even a psychology forum. It's all about preps and analysis. I'm not against preps and analysis, but that's not all there is to life.

For instance, Ludi insists on staying in Texas despite the limitations. It's because in part, she says, she values connection to family above the simple number-crunching of what area is more "survivable" than others. Life is not an excel spreadsheet.

Along those lines, I've actually got a video I've been working on that expresses what I feel to be the downside of placing survivalism first, and all else second. Take it or leave it, but here it is.

That is a really great video. Thanks.

You think there is too much survivalism here? Which threads are you referring too?

I see the "Beck Says Stockpile Food" thread - is that the one?

Personally I don't see much of anything posted about changing much of anything about modern life here aside from the regular posts about "fusion around the corner".

There is no survivalism being talked about here, this place is more mainstream than DudeWheresMyHummer.com

Man if you don't want to move, more power to ya, maybe you need a hobby?

I don't like that video very much. It insults two of my favorite things: Vermont and fruitcakes. We actually ate one of these tonight after dinner:

Do yourself a favor and buy one.

Come to think of it, when TSHTF, I'm going to stock my doomstead with five tons of high-quality fruitcake. They carry a lot of calories, taste delicious, and keep for up to two years if stored in a cool place.

(The terrible, radioactive fruit ones last forever, but I'd sooner join the zombie hordes.)

I'm probably one of the only people on the planet who likes fruitcake. But nobody ever sends me one for Christmas.

<<<<< not a survivalist

Thank you, KingM. I might just do that.

[KingM]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', 'T')hank you, KingM. I might just do that.

You can salvage any baking disastor by putting the cake tin up on the refridgerator and pouring rum or bourbon on it every couple days for a month. People will go crazy over it, because everything goes better with hard liquor.

See what I mean, the thing upmost on the minds of these hard core survivalist peakers is fruitcake!
Transference all right!

SNORT!

[Ludi]

Hey, I like that this thread has turned into a thread about fruitcake. I think it's perfect!

Now I'm really confused.. what is this thread about again? First you said this:
