in the UK preppers(the ones with any sense that is) have come to know no good will come of signing up with a so called "film maker" or other such types, none of these have ever shown preppers or survivalists in a good light usually they are made to look as foolish as possible, it is not done to further self reliance, its all about money, prestige and ratings ....for the film company not the prepper that is.

I've yet to see a girl who would want a mountain man for a partner. Several come close but if you want to weed them out quickly, ask them if they can live with out television, internet, or going to town. Very few will score 67%.

most females in this country would score a lot less, most of the younger ones want a meal ticket not a husband.

Many women would score 100%. So what! It takes far more than that.

Would you have any problem strangling a ten year old who might warn his family?

Would you like to learn how to tan scalps?

Would you like to go out on a cold rainy night, get cold and wet to the bone, then build a fire without a cigarette lighter, matches, dry kindling, or cotton balls soaked in Vaseline? It can be done.

The old timers were wont to say, "When the starvin' times come, don't let Old Bill Williams walk behind you.'' Bill Williams was an expreacher and famous mountain man. Would you do the same as he would have?

Do mountain men likely strangle people? Warn his family about what?

I know women who would tan scalps, probably better than I would want to.

My old man relies on firewood, he's humped over but always fooling with wood even though he has central heat. The other day the trunk of a tree rolled on him while he was cutting branches off (which were holding the trunk 5' off the ground), luckily he had a cell phone in his pocket. He rather break a bone than have less than 2 years of firewood in his basement.

I'd eat old Bill if I got hungry enough but I wouldn't enjoy like he would.

So you live south west in the UK, which is England? I definitely plan to visit Scotland someday. I bet there are quite a few Scottish women who are somewhat self sufficient.

Mountain men frequently joined Indians in raids on members of other tribes. They often took Indian wives who didn't spare anyone.

It was a life of savagery. There has been plenty written about this.

The nice thing about misogyny is that its self fulfilling. You dislike and disrepect women and they respond in kind. Therefore the whole self sufficiently thing is a zero sum game. No women, no children, no future. So what if you survive the apocalypse? You'll still die lonely and unmourned.
But, hey, you can keep hoarding your bullets and fantasize about being Grizzly Adams and then complain that you're lonely and nobody gets you. Well, yes, we do.
