1) Who is Tim Gamble? The owner and editor of this website (as well as TimGamble.com), I have 20+ years experience in the
prepper and survivalist community. I also have professional experience
developing Disaster Preparedness and Recovery Policies for businesses and
museums. I have Bachelor Degrees in both History and Accounting (with a minor
in Economics). I have held appointed positions in both
local government (Environmental Advisory Board) and state government
(Transportation Planning).

2) What is Dystopian Survival? Dystopian Survival is my term for a new type of survivalism based on the realities of the modern world marked by rapid technological change, the centralization of economic and political authority into a small elite class, the loss of privacy and personal freedoms, and the decline of traditional Biblical and American values. Surviving these changes requires knowledge, skills, and attitudes that go well beyond the typical wilderness survival, homesteading, and stockpiling advice currently found in the prepper and survivalist community.
3) What are your objectives for Dystopian Survival? My objective for this website is to provide information and opinion on a variety of topics typically relating to self-reliance, emergency preparedness, urban and suburban survival, wilderness survival, personal finance, privacy, security, operational security, homesteading, gardening, and bushcraft (outdoor skills). It also may contain religious content (from a Biblical literalist perspective), political content (from a Constitutional literalist perspective), and other educational materials.
4) I've heard or read that you claim to be a nationalist. Doesn't that mean you are a white supremacist or a neo-nazi? No. Absolutely not. You are thinking of White Nationalism or National Socialism. I'm neither of those things. By nationalist, I simply mean that I believe in national sovereignty, a strong military, and secure borders. I believe in patriotism - love of my country and putting the needs of my fellow countrymen first (America First). I hope citizens of other countries feel the same way about their country.
5) What are your views on racism? I simply don't believe in racism. As a Bible-believer, I know that there is only one race, the human race, since all humans are descended from Adam and Eve, and later Noah and his wife. Differences in skin tone, eye shape, coarseness of hair, and other physical characteristics are merely inherited family traits among more closely related people groups. Not only is this the Biblical view, it is also the scientific view supported by modern genetics.
6) I've heard you mention agrarianism a couple of times. What is agrarianism? Agrarianism is an economic and social philosophy which places primary importance on agriculture and related fields, and in rural living, as opposed to industrialized, urban living. I believe the agrarian lifestyle is much more conducive to living God's way rather than worldly ways. I also believe agrarianism is a healthier lifestyle, both physically and emotionally. Read my article on this: Biblical Agrarianism - A Way Forward?
