Have we lost the ability to think for ourselves?
The recent fires in Colorado where people called 9-1-1 because they saw flames and smelled smoke but were TOLD it was a controlled burn, no worries. Some of these people later died. Don't sit at your house and make a call, get in your vehicle and go look for YOURSELF. Decide for YOURSELF what course of action you need to take for the safety of you and your family. Had they been in their vehicle and drove down to see they would have lost everything BUT their lives instead of everything. That dispatcher knows less than you do because they are far away in a building somewhere with no windows.
DO NOT wait on the weatherman to say take shelter, if you are truly a survivalist (defined as one who wants to live) then you should hear that announcement from your storm shelter, basement, bathtub, hallway from under the mattress wearing body armor, motorcycle gear, kitchen pans etc listening on your emergency radio.
As the highways clog from evacuation from the incoming hurricane you should be watching it on TV from your pre-dertermined retreat location stating to your spouse "boy glad we aint in that mess are the hotdogs bout ready, I'll tell the kids to wash up from playing Frisbee". That is a Survivalist.
When the car wreck happens and everyone is still holding their I-phones going "OMG" and you have moved the parties to the side away from the danger and organized triage and begun treatment from a small bag kit and you look like a garceful swimming swan while your heart beats fater than a hummingbird then you have arrived not waiting an an ambulance driver to think for you.
When you are at the mall, movies, ball game, church and the "fireworks" start popping and people are looking at you weird because you are pushing your family thru an emergency exit with a handgun drawn then the lemmings will know the seas and you will live to tell the tale.
I know LD3 has covered these trigger events in the podcasts and discussion before but it is abundantly apparent that the rant needs to continue.
