Survivalism: The Practice of Preparation

The Science of Survivalism

While the other sections within The Hidden Dominion focus on more philosophical concepts, this category focuses on more everyday applications. Topics focus on second amendment laws, firearms, self-defense, survivalism techniques, and general preparedness (“prepping”).

The definition of liberty is ‘The condition of being free from restriction or control’. Thus, to truly be free, we must also be prepared and in control of our own future. We must have the skills and specialty to get through anything.

This isn’t a generic prepper section. To truly be prepared, we can’t just prepare for the apocalypse. We need to prepare for everything. A lost job is a lot more probable than a nuclear Armageddon. Your chance of being in financial ruin is a lot higher than your chance of getting shot by marauders.

Practical knowledge related to being prepared and the ability to defend yourself are essential for the liberty-minded individual. That’s what this section is all about.

We also include fitness and health. You can’t be an obese prepper. It’s just not reasonable. To be prepared, you need to be healthy and mentally focused. That is why we include exercise, nutrition, and medical articles in this category.

If you just want to get started with survival/prepping techniques, check out Prepping and Survivalism for Less Insane People. If you want to begin with financial prepping, I recommend reading The Preppers Guide On Savings Tax (Inflation). If you want to dive right into fitness check out Lost 40 Pounds and Down to 12% Bodyfat: How?

Finally, a few other notable introductory articles include The Basic Guide To Self-Sufficiency and On Fostering and Building A Parallel Economy.
