Welcome to Primitive Preparedness This isn’t a hobby. It’s a mindset. I built this space for people who know deep down that comfort is a trap—and chaos is coming. Whether it’s grid-down living, off-grid builds, or mental grit forged in fire, this group is for those who want to be ready when the lights go out and the world gets real. I’m Donny—entrepreneur, outlaw songwriter, and the guy behind Ruckel Restorations. I’ve spent years blending survival tactics with storytelling, engineering with emotion, and now I’m bringing it all here. --- 🔥 Why I Started This I started building this after realizing how fragile comfort really is. One bad storm, one blackout, and most folks are lost. I’ve lived through breakdowns—mechanical and emotional—and I’ve learned that survival isn’t just gear. It’s grit. That’s what I’m here to teach. --- 🧭 What You’ll Get Here - Real-world survival strategies that actually work - DIY gear setups and primitive builds - Tactical mindset training for hard times - Symbolic tools and furniture that carry meaning - Raw community built on grit, not fluff Each week, I’ll drop new lessons, gear breakdowns, and mindset drills. We’ll share builds, swap tactics, and sharpen each other. You’ll get access to exclusive guides, challenges, and maybe even some outlaw music to keep your fire lit. --- 🫂 This Is a Tribe This isn’t just a group—it’s a tribe. If you’re here, you’re not just learning. You’re leading. You’re building the kind of strength the world’s forgotten. And when things go sideways, it’ll be people like us who stand tall. --- 🗣️ Let’s Kick This Off Drop a comment below and tell me: What’s the one skill you wish you had if everything went dark tomorrow? Let’s get to work. —Donny
