note: puny Earthlings!  You don't need no stinking car!  Here was my grocery shopping yesterday, just using my bicycle with front and rear baskets ( no backpack ).  20 cans of real sugar drink mixes ( Kool-Aid, Tang, etc., 19 ounces each ).  A ten pound sack of sugar.  Twenty pounds of hamburger.  Three cases of Top Ramen.  Just saying. ( as an aside, I did notice that they labeled their 25 lb sack of white flour at $6-this is at Smith's, owned by Kroger, BTW.  Just beware, they did misprice the sugar, so due diligence )

A lot of survival groups, planned or post ad hoc’ed, are going to be all retarded and recruit based on skills.  You know what I think about that ( the “retarded” should have given you a hint if in the past you barely peruse my highly honed and shined pearls of wisdom and promptly forgot anything you read because you were desperately trying to retain the pricing and specs information of competing FLIR scopes ).  Let me just say about that, before we move on, dumb ass ghetto Other Colors know enough to base membership on loyalty.  Cracker Redneck Trailer Trash meth cookers know enough to base membership on loyalty.  They HAD to learn, the alternative being either jail rape and/or death.

*

Were they smart enough to learn that lesson?  No, they learned by all the corpses they witnessed as their Homey G Dawg buddies didn’t choose wisely.  If you are smarter than a box of rocks you will heed their School Of Hard Knocks lesson and base your tribal male member acceptance of loyalty.  Not skill.  On the job training will quickly train up all the warriors you need at supreme efficiency.  But are surviving tribes going to recruit on this basis?  Needing personal references AND initiation?  I seriously doubt it.  Why?  Think about it as if you were Post-Apocalypse Doctor Evil. 

*

Let’s say you wanted to infiltrate a man into the warring tribe.  The tribe requires the prospective member to kill one or more of Dr. Evil’s henchmen.  Dr. Evil told the uncover dude it was okay to waste them.  Heroic casualties for the cause, giving their lives for the greater good of defeating the enemy ( yeah, this is how US military officers, and everyone in government think about any of the cannon fodder troops, also.  Here, due to falling standards of education, evil dudes are called “Captain” or “Senator” rather than “doctor” ).  This is counter-intelligence 101, folks.  A terrible way to test out potential recruits.

*

A loyalty test must be a little bit more severe.  Perhaps killing off your wife you brought with you ( after carefully observing whether or not he actually would love to do so, or if they are a fake couple.  This is where your tribal females come in mighty handy.  It takes their level of cunning and deceit to ferret out fakes ).  But, saying all that, doesn’t it just seem like the world’s biggest pain in the ass to try to vet recruits?  Wouldn’t you avoid it if possible?  That is were kidnapping breeding material and young children comes in handy.  Avoiding questionable loyalty.

*

So here is what I’m thinking.  Unless given little choice, most tribes probably WON’T recruit.  The reward for a wrong decision is a Trojan Horse stab in the back ( keep your #1 wife watching the new wives for this.  She is old and bitter, never getting your sweet loving but once a month.  She’ll keep herself relevant by spying and controlling for you, if you treat her decently enough ).  It is far better to stick with the members you came through the die-off conflict with.  Those band of brothers proved themselves to each other, in combat.  They killed off innocents side by side.  Perhaps even ate at the long pork buffet together.  No recruit can prove themselves like that.  Not even close.

*

Now, it is always possible that you CAN get recruited.  The local tribes might be dangerously under strength.  My point here is that if they don’t have to, they won’t.  And if they won’t, now you are at a severe disadvantage.  I cannot even pretend to answer the question now, of what should I do?  It seems to me that is a more “damned if you do, or don’t” situation.  If you form a tribe out of the dumb asses available, you screw yourself.  If you don’t, you screw yourself.

*

Now, of course, I’m not sure why I’m making THAT big of a fuss here.  Survivalism is chockablock full of decisions like this, wild ass guessing that could work for you, or not.  Well, okay, I know why I’m giving it so much attention.  I don’t believe it has been covered before by anyone.  That is what I mean by nobody studying anthropology or evolutionary biology or any of the other fun stuff I snort up more eagerly than a freshman Congressman at his first party with the availability of cocaine lines across the giant naked bosom of an intern.  Why do I have to be the only one here getting all jiggy wit it?  Okay, I enjoy it.  But still, a little competition?

*

There are gentlemen founding movements returning to White Warrior tribes.  You can buy extremely overpriced manuals from them ( I love profit.  That is my income.  I do NOT care for obscene profit.  You can price your stuff at “written by a monk with quill pen” amounts, but I know how little it is to self publish.  Now go buy my rationally priced Frugal Survival book on Amazon ).  They all focus on the younger set, as over-aged warriors aren’t too terribly effective in battle if all of them are as equally ancient, unless you are going suicide bomber.  What is the aging survivalist to do?

*

People be crazy stupid, giving their tribal loyalty to their workplace or sports team or orange haired rich politician ( Trumps only claim to morality is that he wasn’t a politician or lawyer, at least ). If you try to make them a tribal member, their stupidity infects you and kills you ( obviously this doesn’t include the lucky few who were able to pick good stock neighbors and have a suitable tribe ).  If you don’t have a tribe, you might never get one.  Again, I have few answers.  This is just another thing for you to worry about.  You are welcome.
