One of the bedrock principles of survival preparation is to choose your circle wisely.
By “circle” we mean those you prepare, plan on enduring a survival situation with and will rely on when and if you find yourself facing a full-scale survival crisis.
Much like choosing friends, how you choose this circle will affect your life positively, neutrally or negatively in a survival situation.
Choose wisely, and you have a group of people of the same mind, ready to work as a team to get through whatever you are facing.
Choose poorly, and you could end up with a lot of dead weight – or worse.
By “worse,” I mean a group of folks who consistently make bad decisions, do not possess the skills set needed to survive or are so wedded to what they think survival should be like, they are useless.
On the next page, we cover some types of people you should avoid.

1 they say shtf every time they post on Facebook
2 the ones who offer to help you so they know where your stash is so they can take it from you later
3 ones that think they can live on twinkies
4 the one that is looking forward to being a cannibal
Life is much simpler if you just avoid humans period…
The “prepper” with guns that you think he doesn’t need is not the problem. In a true “war” situation, no zombie invaders, when your group comes together you will need a means to arm them for protection of themselves and the group. You won’t be able to shoot the enemy with an arrow and steal his weapon. You will need a supply of your own. Don’t confuse a “Tackleberry” prepper with one that thinking of an entire group situation. Don/t confuse “bragging” with “explaining”. Some of us want our friends and family to be prepared for anything from a power outage to full blown war. With everyone in your family group being prepared for emergencies you all will have a place to go if your area is hit. Just be careful who you dismiss from a stereo type. Prepping relies on as many resources as you can find.
These are primarily generalizations referring to common sense situations most survivalist are already cognizant of.
I have to take issue W/ the reference to
“Gun Enthusiast”.
Sounds much like something you might read in the New York Times.
