T …

"Survival" means a lot of things to a lot of people and we'd love to hear your ideas on the topic.

For many years I had regular Friday night social gatherings of close friends. We'd often vent our frustrations at the stupidity of the system around us that glorified superficial choices and failed to support people.  Sometimes we just hung out, other times we'd work on a project together.  We'd show up at a friends house with five vehicles for  a one-day household move that ended with pizza and laughter instead of frustration and stubbed toes.  We had movie nights and made mead and hosted dinne …

The New England Trackers group was formed in 2003 to provide a gathering place for individuals with an interest in the natural world. We are dedicated to cultivating awareness and a deep appreciation for nature. We share and practice the skills that our ancestors used to survive in the world, a kind of ‘primitive technology’ that allowed them to live in balance and harmony with their environment, rather than dominate it. Many of our members have taken courses taught by Tom Brown, Jr. and the Tra …

A group focused on learning and practicing emergency/disaster/apocalyptic preparedness, specifically for families. A survival situation presents unique challenges for families. The intent of this group is to look at survivalism from the perspective of families with children. Why use the term 'survivalism'? Isn't that for fringe weirdos? Not exclusively, no... Anyone can figure out how to survive for 3 days, or a week. However, there are many disasters, besides Armageddon, that could impact us fo …

Don't confuse being prepared with living in fear of the unknown. We may not be able to control the final outcome of some things, but we can certainly control parts of the journey along the way.

As this man sits on his roof, fearful of being swept away by the current, he cries out to God, “God please deliver me.”A few moments later, a farmer friend arrives with …

No club, if it wants to survive, can open itself to all comers. Clubs depend on exclusivity; if the conditions of membership aren’t enforced or argued away by the more insincere members, it dies or becomes something only faintly resembling what it set out to be. Let me begin, then, by telling you exactly what I want this club to be. Once a month, Bostonians who enjoy reading aloud great literature will gather at one of city’s premier watering holes to do just that. (Dive bars won’t provide the q …
