DestinySurvival is an Internet marketing blog designed to share information on the general topic of preparedness and survival.  It was started by me, John Wesley Smith, in November 2007, just before the government later decided the country had officially gone into recession.  I thought it was a good time to begin nudging others toward survival oriented lifestyles in preparation for economic and political change, and, of course, natural disasters. 

While posts here often promote specific products offered by various affiliate sponsors, many are simply informational and sometimes a bit whimsical, featuring creative writing of myself and a friend or two.  I try to "mix it up" with a variety of survival-related topics—food storage, gardening, personal defense, and more.  (See the listing of categories on the sidebar.)

A complete listing of affiliate companies featured is displayed here.  In addition, you’ll find several other offerings of interest on the sidebar and at the bottom of the page.  Also see the Amazon Picks pages.  There are also pages offering free downloads as well as links to additional sites with products and services, which may prove useful for your survival and preparedness.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look around.

A Word About My Philosophy

            Someone has said life is an adventure, and we shouldn’t be afraid to experiment.  Starting DestinySurvival began a new part of life’s adventure for me.  It’s an extension of my philosophy that truth is wherever we find it, and those truths should be shared with others who will receive them.  I believe many things in life are connected.  One thing leads to another.  The challenge is to have the courage to take the new paths that may open up before us as a result of a teachable, eclectic mindset.  Survival in an increasingly chaotic world most certainly calls for us to take new paths and practice adaptability.

You won’t find much about politics or current events on this blog, though they certainly affect what appears here.  You can get news and perspectives from other sources, and I hope you will.  (See News & Comments on the sidebar.)

DestinySurvival was spawned and grows in the light of what’s happening in our world.  Globalists in multinational corporations and governments are exerting ever greater control over many areas of our daily lives.  What if things for any number of reasons become more chaotic than the New World Order they envision?  We must be prepared to adapt and survive.

My understanding of the Scriptures helps me know how to put the world in proper perspective.  My relationship with Jesus Christ as my Savior helps me get by from day to day and gives me hope and assurance for the future in a different world.  If you want more regarding that last statement, you’re welcome to view http://eclecticpilgrim.wordpress.com .
