I’ve always wanted to live in a hill of ants……not! To me, the few times in my life when I was forced to live in an apartment situation (mercifully short), I likened in my mind to living in an anthill. All the people living practically on top of each other was not an attractive idea to me…and it still isn’t!
However, I would like to draw your attention to a concept that seems so logical, so helpful, and so right for the times, that I wonder why someone didn’t implement it sooner.
One of the problems of living, as many of us do, in the cities, is that our closest support network (i.e. our families) may not be all that close. Even if they are “close” now, in a situation where the power goes down or transportation is not available, even five miles can be quite a distance. In order to overcome this problem, let me introduce you to this relatively new organization.
Americans Networking to Survive – or A.N.T.S.
The purpose of A.N.T.S. is to gather (in their words) “individuals working together to provide other members basic supplies during disasters. This is done by following the guidelines set forth by the A.N.T.S organization. Membership is open to anyone willing to follow those guidelines.” The guidelines seem to make common sense, and I think over time, as it becomes known, the network will grow. I sure hope it does, because it can save our lives, if ever we need to use it!
In addition to information on how we will assist each other, there are lots of links to survival information. There are a lot of How-To’s, Disaster Scenarios, and also links to many blogs. There’s even a link to this blog!
So please take a moment to go to A.N.T.S. and see if it’s an organization you would like to join. If you do, and once your membership is approved, you’ll find me there, too!

Nice idea! I’m sure, lots of individuals will love to join the organization. They would surely benefit to the informations to be shared in that organization. Talking about survival is a very nice idea to tackle.
