Who Am I?

Hi,

My name is Steve Ackerman. If I'm not hiking, Tenkara fly fishing or cooking outdoors, you'll likely find me reviewing some gear and writing for my blog, http://LetsTalkSurvival.com. It is focussed primarily on the discussion and demonstration of emergency preparedness and self-reliance skills and gear, with my passion for hiking and outdoor cooking mingled in… This is my passion and has been for some time. While I am an avid survivalist, prepper, pit boss, firearm enthusiast, and gear junkie, I am by no means an expert. Simply put, I am just a perpetual student of life and the outdoors.

My blog was created as a vehicle to house my own personal cache of tips, tricks, techniques and other useful information related to emergency preparedness, self-reliance and outdoor cooking that I wanted to keep handy and share with others. In recent months, I've been looking at some new alternative platforms when I stumbled upon Steemit so I thought I would be a good idea to give it a try in addition to the articles that I publish on my blog.

When I am writing, I tend to view things like a prepper, and I often use a zombie apocalypse as a metaphor when I discuss emergency preparedness situations and scenarios. If you prepare for the zombie apocalypse, you will be prepared for just about anything... But in reality, I think that prepping has just as much to do with being prepared for the small things that affect our lives every-day as some catastrophic end-of-the-world crisis, or natural disaster. If nothing else, it is a safe investment against inflation.
