DISCLAIMER: The title to this thread is largely a joke..... Sort of...

In short the purpose of this thread is two pronged; one, to discuss what qualities are best to find in a future spouse for TEOTWAWKI...

And two, when/how/where/what/why a person should go about going about.... You know. Finding a suitible (In my case) 'girlivalist'.

DISCLAIMER1: I have no experience on this subject whatsoever.
DISCLAIMER2: I am a devoted Christian and I won't do anything stupid.
DISCLAIMER3: I realize that I'm not prepared for marriage and I won't get married for quite a few years.
DISCAIMER4: Despite all of the above I am a hormone driven teenager and I have much interest in this aformentioned subject.

THEREFORE!

If everyone could place their opinion for these questions I would be most grateful...

1- How should a survivalist look for in a spouse?
2- Now what do you do?
3- Why is it important to have a survivalistic spouse?

Yours in Christ

In most areas of the midwest, I would suggest that you look for a farm girl. Some one with the brains and the initiative to study Animal Science or Vet Medicine at the local land grant university (LSU?) should have potential. Then start looking for one that shoots and hunts and knows how to cook.

"Not afraid to deep fry chicken and dirty dance to Merle, Ain't you glad they arn't all California girls".

DISCLAIMER: my answers to this thread are largely a joke..... Sort of...

1- How should a survivalist look for in a spouse?
with his eyes.

2- Now what do you do?
now i drink and pretty much do whatever i want. before, i used to work. i'm over that.

3- Why is it important to have a survivalistic spouse?
it's not. not to me anyway. my wife will either survive or not. i might survive or not. whatever happens, i'll take it from there.

hope that helps.

I think you might be surprised how often you will come across like-minded individuals in the most surprising ways, often without any effort on your part.

For some reason I seem to gravitate to the survivalists in any situation....don't know what it's like in your part of the woods though.

FYI, I'm 17, female, and on the other side of the country from you, and no I'm not looking to pursue a relationship.....but thought you might like to hear from the target audience ;)

One of my most important criteria for a spouse is a survival-oriented mindset....this often manifests itself as non-mainstream political views....basically not being 'one of the herd'.

And as to why it's important to have a survivalist spouse, well it's something I've never questioned....just seems common sense. Bugging out on your own is mighty hard (at least for a girl), and a spouse tends to have deeper loyalties (one would hope) than friends/other family members. If TSHTF, you are going to want to have a supportive partner....I don't like the idea of teaching/learning survival skills on the fly. Nor would I recommend actively trying to find a partner in the midst of chaos....the usual stresses associated with survival would I suppose preclude this.

Oh and make sure you actually >love< whoever you marry, don't just go for someone because they can hunt or cook or whatever....in the end that will be more important.

I was just reading 1984...you notice it's only after Winston Smith meets Julia that he decides he still wants to live.....guess what I'm trying to say is, Yes it's important to not go it alone, for a lot of reasons. And Yes look for a survivalist, she is out there somewhere :thumb:

yours in Christ,
Bethany

Just remember what old W. C. Fields said:

"Marry an outdoors woman. Then if you throw her out into the yard on a cold night, she can still survive."

1880-1946
