So add to the mix, I see a new trend happening with more people calling themselves "Preppers". Beyond the obvious cliche of the conservative soccer mom stockpiling items from Wal-mart. Is there a difference between preppers and survivalists in terms of their motivations?

You make some very good points.

I've recently started to learn more about animal tracking and find it rather fascinating. Perhaps we can exchange some tips and suggestions. What works for you and in what situations?

Great comments! I also was surprised to learn that gun ownership was at its highest level in 1977 with 54% American households reported owning a gun and that it's dropped to 32 percent. Interesting. . . :smiley_chinrub:

What are your thoughts about this story? Excerpt from ABC News Americans were big spenders on Black Friday–especially on guns. Numbers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation show an all-time one-day high for background check requests from gun buyers last Friday. There were 129,166...

Great story!

Lots of great tips. Here are some more. Keep your finger outside the trigger guard and off the trigger until ready to shoot. Control your emotions when hunting or shooting. Always let someone know where you are hunting and when you plan on returning.

I'm assuming "nothing else exists on the island". Yeah, I'm taking the easy way out of the question.
