My Sea Gypsy Tribe essays, which
outline my unusual strategy for dealing with the possibility of a major
societal Collapse, have now been orbiting the Blogosphere long enough to
generate considerable discussion. These

You have a much greater chance of being killed by a golf ball while walking your dog near a country club, than by getting fed to the sharks by buccaneers.
