Like many survivalists, he is inspired by romantic notions of frontier self-reliance. He has six guns of his own, and come Armageddon, he plans to support himself by hunting, making everything he needs and cultivating his quarter-acre garden of peppers, sunflowers and watermelons. Says Saxon: "I'm telling people to get out of the cities and move to small towns, because civilization all through the world is doomed. Take a trade with...
