Survivalist or Homesteading – Which Will Survive SHTF Longer?


Who will survive a disaster longer? A survivalist or a homesteader? As a survivalist, mobility is a key part of my family’s survival plan. Our ability to pick up life’s necessities in a moment’s notice, carrying those things on our backs, and provide safety and security while on the move will keep us alive no matter where we find disaster.

On the other side, as we move completely off the grid into a homesteading environment, we will be building a castle if you will, preparing a long duration environment that is conducive to life and sustenance for centuries.

What are your thoughts? Who will survive longer and which one are you? A Survivalist or a Homesteader?

  1. I was and have been prepared to survive on the move for a long time…I grew up doing and learning the necessary homesteading skills from my grandparents. After watching a couple of Viking Preparedness videos, I realized that was what I had been doing most of my life. After watching TJ on Bear Independent, I decided to return to my roots. That said, I have a secondary remote location to fall back on, should the rabble get to crazy for us to handle at our primary position.

  2. I believe homesteading is a form of survival in general. Im working on a homestead that will eventually lead to a self sufficient lifestyle. A self sufficient lifestlye will keep me from being dependant on the system. It will also provide survival during natural disasters when food is scarce and power is out. My current set up includes a wood stove for heat and cooking, goats for milk, quail for eggs and meat, chickens for eggs and meat, aquaponics for produce, turkeys for meat, pigs for meat, solar etc. In the event cash is needed, livestick reduction sales and sales of overage should provide enough cash. Also bartering services for goods is another survival means of business.
