The Phoenix Sunrise

There are a lot of things to consider when planning for PAW survival.  I’ve read some comments on some other blogs where people were critical of the author for only addressing one type of scenario and not another.  I think for now, I’m going to make sure you’re all aware, I’m going to be addressing pretty rural situtations.  I have no need or desire to go all urban.  A lot of what I talk about will probably be useful in both situations, but I am not going to go out of my way to address those scenarios, really.

I think that suriviving is very much a determination of will first and foremost.  Granted, there’s only so far will can go.  I can’t necessarily stop bullets with will, or kill viruses (or can I??)…  Every person I talk to who says to me regarding a PAW, “I’d rather not live to see such times,” is already defeated.  I can’t blame them.  I don’t even try to convince them.  Maybe I’m heartless.  A very close friend of mine has a quote in her profile on a message board about anarchists…  “Anarchists don’t want to liberate people, they want people to liberate themselves…”  That’s about where I am.

I have determined that I will survive.  Will you?
