SHTFblog.com - are YOU ready?

Remember my Open SHTF Response to a Journalist’s Questions post that I wrote responding to a woman’s questions about survivalism amongst young men? You know, for a Details magazine article she was writing. It has been published. Yeah, if you read Survival Blog than chances are high that you have already read the article, but if you haven’t, this is the link you want to read the article in full. Here is the issue in all its hard copy glory:

Look, they even put me on the cover!

lol - yeah right!

These are my thoughts on the article. First off, I think it’s just totally wicked cool that SHTFblog has reached newsstand stardom. I was a bit miffed at first by the “Meet the Yuppie Survivalists” title - not quite what I expected, but I don’t typically read Details magazine. I don’t fancy myself a yuppie - an aspiring yuppie perhaps - lol. But I was able to move beyond the “yuppie” title when I saw what other articles this piece was published with. I mean, just check their titles:

• OMG! It’s the Gossip Guys,
• Everything You Need to Know to Buy the Perfect Watch,
• Inside the Twisted World of Revenge Porn, and
• Do You Have Douchebag Hair?

LOL - “Do You Have Douchebag Hair?” - wtf is THAT!?

Anyway, as I started thumbing to the yuppie article I was immediately struck by the freakin’ nasty perfume stench pouring off each page - blech! This magazine is for metrosexuals - no doubt there. As hard as I try to picture it though, I can’t imagine a pile of metrosexuals running around in survival mode. I just can’t.

I think the article could have been better if it had included pictures of scantily clad survival babes, but whatever. I was also a little disappointed that more of my, what I thought were more important, comments were not included in the article. But hey, it was written for a certain population, and maybe my other thoughts were not worthy of this audience. Whatever, it’s all good.

I still can’t imagine why someone would vacuum seal an ipod, though. If SHTF that’s about the last thing I’d worry about. Hell, I don’t even own one, so it’s a non-issue. Don’t plug in - plug OUT!

BTW: Thanks to those of you for the few Amazon sales of late. Your support keeps me inspired.

Also, “Survivalchick” writes in the comments section of my last post:

Wait so your a guy writing as a “fake” girl?

Sometimes - yep. It helps break up the writing monotony. If that fascinates you, turns you on, or makes you shake your head and shit, well - do me a favor. Write up a dissertation analyzing my manly man writings, posing as a cartoon “survival babe” writer, and writing about feminist rights. Take a Freudian and Feminist view of the piece, analyze the shit out of it from every angle, the conscious and the subconscious, then condense it to 6 or 7 paragraphs, send it my way, and I’ll use it as a guest post!

Sound good?

Great!

Next post comes Sunday night. I’ve been real busy lately trying to tidy up the house for winter, making sure the rifle is sighted in for deer season, moving firewood, yada yada yada.

Remember readers,
Word to your mother!
