For those who don't know me, I'm one of those survival guys on the survival forum. Recent readings on Mormons and their history of living a life of self prepardiness, has had me thinking. I would like formaly invite our Mormon members to contribute to the Survival Forum even if it's my gandfather use to do this. Relgion is not a forum topic like in General Discussion. I know you will find the guys in SF to be very receptive and grateful. Although we do enjoy our guns for the most part we are all family people joined by a forum motto of living prepared. Thanks, Tj |
Three of my nearest neighbors are Mormons and they're not only quite and polite but good sources for supplies as their temple networks sources. The family across the street are the "canning" experts. They've got a 350 gallon water storage tank in their backyard.

My brother-in-law is a mormon and he dosnt have enough rounds on hand at deer season to start a fire. He has several weapons, all hunting type weapons and 1 sks. You could fit every round in his possesion at any given time in a space half the size of a shoe box. Now if you want preparedness ask for the Christian Identity folks to come over. Or the Anglo Israel movement, now those folks know prepareation. They are not what the media makes them out to be. Just look at the way the media make gunowners look.

I'll post this here and then I'll head over to the other forum. Thanks TJ for the invite. If any of you live near UT or AZ or other large "mormon" hubs, we generally have very proficient cannerys open to the public. For very cheap you can go in and buy dry pack foods ready for storage. Here at my house we have a year supply of food for 4 people and enough water for a couple of weeks. "Be prepared" Boy Scout motto |
People are people my friend and yes sterotyping is not a good thing but it's pretty safe to assume that I having been raised in Applachia am decended from folks who once had a farm just as it would to assume a native Texan at one time had probably has a relative who's roots are in ranching or the oil patch. Information given from any quarter is appreaciated. Personaly I would love to appeal to the Amish for information but the odds of them having a computer isn't all that good. Tj |
