Onca again Selco writes the sobering and harsh facts of life of SHTF.

No updates in awhile?

Your manual is still being downloaded from time to time.

This assumes that you will be near a city and gangs will come to get you and your family.

What is missing is something that you guys could learn from the LDS folks or from those of us living in the Philippines: your security is family and friends not guns.

So when the typhoon hit, families take refuge with their family members who were on higher ground, or with friends or the homes of their employers. One of the most important lessons was a cellphone to keep in touch with relatives.

Yes, have a “bug out bag”...more important than guns.

And illness will be more fatal and more common than being shot.

“with this BOB you can not lose when SHTF”.

For those of you who don't know, BOB stands for big 'ol butt. Example: "With this big 'ol butt, you cannot lose, when the SHTF." It's symbolic of the suburban endurance and will to survive (delays starvation). Just ask any neighbor who resembles Homer Simpson.

No compromise here. Bury your own.

BOB, not for me. Shelter in place, I will, I will. All my stuff is here, why would I leave it? Oh, he must be talking to city folk.

If I need fresh meat, I step outside my door. If I want fresh water, I step outside my door. If I need firewood, I step outside my door. If I need to protect myself, I shoot them as they step inside my door.

I used to live in a city. I’m glad I no longer do.

I signed up a long time ago for Selco’s articles to be sent to me just like I’m sure millions have done. The last article sent, “Why many preppers will die” had an added portion that read: “But before you click on link it would be great if you have a minute and write back to me what kind of other preparedness or survival related websites do you read?”

I sent an email listing Survival Podcast where I write articles, and included Free Republic saying we had a prepper thread every week lead by Kartographer. That is all I put in that email – just those two links.

So, this morning I got an email from Selco. Here it is:

“its funny I read your articles before. Really like them.
What do you like about survival podcast community? We add community forum to SHTFschool.com and look for feedback on what sections we should have.
Thank you,
Selco”

I don’t know how or when he found my articles as they are buried among numerous categories on Survival Podcast, but when one gets approval from Selco, in my opinion that is the highest honor a prepper could get. “Approved by Selco” – I am so proud. :o)
