first off i respect anyone who can really survive alone in a wilderness scenario, its a great skill to have.
but i really think we need community. united we stand, divided we fall and all that. i mean a bunch of survivalists out there on their own are eventually going ot get picked off one by one. Community is the way to go, we all support each other, serve the community and the commuinty serves us.
also i don't think the tribulation is something you escape. EVERYONE goes through it, its just how you deal with it, and how you come out on the other side, and how you relate to the crisis of the moment. it can either destroy you or transform you - your choice.
