FIRST?!?!?!?!?!?

Hello and howdy! This being my first post and all, I feel an introduction is in order. My name is Eric and I'm a bit of a pyromaniac (evident in my future posts). I haven't been into the "survival" scene for long, but I'm starting to enjoy the experience. I'm a huge nerd and enjoy pretty much anything as long as I can find some interest in it. I was introduced to "survival-ism" a couple years back, and have tried to adapt it to my everyday life. Today's society is quick to label anyone who brings up the word "survivalist" as a nut job. I hope to help break that stereotype.  That being said I am not a Armageddon fanatic. I do however believe that you can never be too prepared for what's to come. Hopefully this blog will document my experiences, as well as share my finding with the world!

I guess I should talk about the title a bit. First and foremost I want this blog to be about Survival, I know I am prone to going on a tangent frequently...I will try to keep that to a minimum. The reasoning behind the title "Tin Can Survival" is probably fairly clear, I want to focus on using tin cans for most of the projects, however I will be using metal/aluminum/anything solid that contain items for storage, be of any usefulness. This is however not my only focus, I want Tin Can Survival to be about simplicity. I'm going to dabble in other areas of the survival community including Bush-craft, and Prepping. There are so many resources available today, I plan to add my two cents to the pot. A great motto that I've heard is "being able to do more with less", and that's how I intend to live. Most of the projects will be fairly simple, and I hope to progress as I become more proficient in the craft. We, as Preppers, Survivalists, Purists, Holistic(s), and any other classification should gather together as a community and share ideas.  As a reader please feel free to leave critiques, and suggestions. I am always open to change.
