I didn't think of these, saw them on a bushcraft website in a thread bemoaning how the terms "survival" and "tactical" are being misused for anything and everything nowadays, and especially for the selling of things painted black or camo:
Survival = Living with 7 yr old triplets and a wife when she gets mad.
Tactical = Driving in the streets of downtown
Prepping = Getting food to feed my 7 yr old little people at supper.
Zombie Apocalypse = Waking up from a long night of partying
SHTF = When my wife gets upset.

Good Ones - Mark 
Times are indeed changing - can't say for better or worse - but change is happening...
The 'mantra for survival is "adapt or perish"

Re: Modern Survivalist Definitions
. Good ones, Mark. It really chafes me to see the words tactical or survival stuck on stuff like pens or even seeds.
