Define your thoughts about "Tribe" in Prepping/Survival concepts.

[Sourdough]

"NOT" asking you to define your tribe. Asking in your opinion, what others could likely manage as far as size of tribe they are genuienly willing to be responsible too.

Please don't make this political. Please save the grandiose tribe size, of your country or city, etc.

Maybe speak to your tribe's concept of its responsibility to other members.

My siblings and their family.

About 20 or so.

Hmm, genuinely willing? 5 max... maybe that's pushing it.

I would say all must have basic skills and understand camp responsibilities/security. Beyond that- If you cannot hunt, productively/safely/responsibly you must learn to skin, flesh and preserve etc.etc. sort of thing.

Gathering, refining and preserving resources will be a constant for all, but those lower in skills would be relegated to mundane repetitive tasks out of necessity until enough surplus can be obtained to invest in training for more complex and interesting responsibilities.

Currently building my tribe from scratch

I don't have a family, or a tribe. My sorta MAG fell apart 4 years ago. I guess I'm a lone wolf, for now.

 

[Amish Heart]

My tribe is my immediate family. Defining them....we will be responsible for each other. There's about 15.

There is no "right" answer to this. Here is one posable idea. "Core" tribe might be first degree kindred.

Broader (Not Core) might include second degree kindred.

My tribe is about 12 people. A couple combat veterans, a medical doctor/surgeon. The rest of us are riffraff...lol

It's just the wife and I. Our kids and other family member all live 400 miles away.

I am currently Tribeless. There are a very few who if they "just happened" to get caught/trapped near me, I would welcome.

I think speaking only for myself. It would be, could I sleep soundly in the same dwelling/shelter/building, without any apprehension.
