About 10 years ago the idea to form a Survival Club was formed. At the time I was involved in another club. So some of that groups' activities were based on survival camps and training events. We managed to create a good supply of equipment and active members who liked the survival training.
When I joined the National Front, we implemented a survival faction and had camps and training. By then I had been using the surviveclub@hotmail.com email for some time. Some of the camps became high profile. That was not our intention at the time though.
When a handful of us left the NF, some of us decided to form a Unit of the "Armed Intervention Force". We were interested in being part of an organization that trained members and helped them to get work in security roles overseas. So we formed the "Phantom Recon" as a foundation Unit for this purpose. The organisation was set up with each group not knowing about other groups, allowing better long term security. We always wanted to be part of an organisation that would protect people's rights and the borders of our Nation.
After some time and some bad media we decided to go our own way with the Survive Club, and to change our focus to training people to survive. We moved away from the "mercenary" idea and more to family protection focus. This caused us to lose a valuable founding member who wanted to carry on with the objective of being accepted into the AIF. He is the only full active member we have ever lost. We plan never to lose any more, that's why we choose our members carefully. Many are called, few are chosen. Being a member of the Survive Club is a life long commitment. We sacrifice now that we may live!
The Survive Club is non-political. However we do have a patriotic background and do not stand for anti-New Zealand politics. That said, we don't endorse the current government or the bad management of the resources and the lack of foresight. We stand by our Nations Flag and the rights and privileges of our citizens.
