Toronto Sun Article on Survivalism

...including some words of wisdom from James Rawles. The writer can't seem to help getting a little sarcastic and over the top by mentioning people preparing for 2012, but its not as bad as other articles I've seen. It's shows how prepping has become more mainstream.

It's actually a trend I see all over right now. And it's overwhelmingly positive.
