Beware: Ex Military Soldier’s Survival Plan Is “To Hit Preppers”

    One of the tenets of long-term preparedness is something we refer to as Operational Security, or OPSEC. The goal is to build our stockpiles, strategies and friendships without the knowledge of the general public, or in many cases, even our neighbors or acquaintances.

    Why?

    Because when it hits the fan, and there’s no food in grocery stores and violence erupts all around us, we’ll have the supplies to survive and the defensive initiative to protect what’s ours. The last thing we want is for those who failed to heed the warnings, to come knocking on our doors looking for handouts or a place to weather the storm. The fact is, our supplies are limited, so operating on the down-low is an important strategy to ensure our safety in the midst of disaster.

    But taking the time and effort to plan effectively is not the only strategy being implemented by those who expect the worst.

    There are those out there who have a different idea of how they’ll acquire necessary supplies should the system as we know it destabilize.

    And that plan is to come for what you own.

    Southern Prepper explains how your operational security may have already been compromised, and shares a story from one “prepper” who is planning on taking advantage of those who had the foresight to ready themselves.

    He’s ex-military. He said his plan is to hit preppers. He doesn’t have enough money right now to prep himself, so he’s going to go around and hit preppers.

    So be careful.

    (Visit the Souther Prepper Youtube Channel for more great insights)

    In a previous SHTF security video, it was noted that you are a high value target in a post-collapse world.

    Beware, because this is what we can expect.

      1. One item everyone such have with these perilous times now and in the future is some sort of shortwave radio. I would recommend all radios be protected in a faraday cage to guard against EMP from the Sun and man made. Most shortwave listening is not censored by some middle man, you hear what you should.

        For those with shortwave radios there are some emergency frequencies you can listen to:

        Military Command and Control

        4.724 Mhz
        4.742
        6.739
        6.712
        8.992
        11.175
        13.200
        15.016

        Was listening and lots of chatter on this last night, especially 4.724

        FEMA, known as federal enforced military association

        5.211
        10.493
        14.567

        This will probably become stations that are on most of the time after this happens

        You can enhance the shortwave’s little antennas with a wire hung as straight as possible across a higher location around the home. Then connect the wire to some alligator clips and snap the alligator clips to the shortwave’s antenna. This will improve the reception. To determine how much length of wire you need will be the frequencies you desire. Say you want to listen to some New Zealand news at about 7.5 Mhz. You would divide 468 by 7.5 = 62.4 feet. The higher the frequency the less wire you need for an antenna. many stations are in the 11 to 13 Mhz range, that would be 36 to 42.5 feet. Lower bands such as 4.7 would need about 100 feet of wire. The Military Command and Control though you can usually hear with just the radio’s attached antenna. Solar activity will decrease dramatically the reception even with the best store bought antennas though.

        • How to build your own shortwave antenna for better listening, especially weak worldwide stations that won’t skew the news as much as the MSM will.

          • Thanks for that link!

            • The first looter to go down gets a special spot on a pike at the end of the driveway.
              Old-school psyops still function better than any “trespassers will be prosecuted” signs…

              • The military today, and believe me I have great respect for them, have never and hopefully, never experience what the the Viet Nam vets went through. They are not versed in the jungle fighting, booby traps, ambushes, etc. that the Nam vet went through. That said, don’t think for one moment that you can just march in and take my sh!t. Been there, done that. You will experience stuff that they don’t teach anymore.. Molon Labe!!!
                Don’t underestimate those old jungle fighters, you’re momma will not recognize what’s left.

                • Beg to differ. Being Canadian I can’t speak for Iraq but while jungles are thin on the ground in Kandahar Province, the cannabis fields do provide a similar environment in terms of lack of visibility and close quarters fighting.

                  But my point is that even if it wasn’t fighting the VC (and they were tough little sons of bitches), the Afghan insurgents are also amazingly competent at ambushes (either conventional, IED initiated and/or complex or multi-stage), they know their booby traps and IEDs and they are really smart (or at least those in leadership positions are), flexible, adaptable and creative. Speaking from my perspective, if we hadn’t learned from past mistakes and remained rooted in our doctrine like the Red Army was when they invaded Afghanistan instead of learning and adapting on the fly (and then training the next rotations our lessons learned) we would have been slaughtered.

                  So, again from a Canadian perspective, any of our soldiers who was outside of KAF has at a minimum a working knowledge of ambush and counter-ambush as well as IED and counter-IED TTPs. The combat arms types, the full-time convoy guys, the EOD types, those on the QRF, they are masters at it. Not to disparage the Nam vets and their hard-earned skills and knowledge in fighting an asymmetric threat, the Afghanistan vets have an equivalent skillet but are far more current on the technologies that can be used and the most effective TTPs (and incidentally on how to counter these).

                  • Come on in said the spider to the fly.

                • What a slap in the face by some liberal thug. Ex military people are more likely to organize a group for self protection and share what they have. This Mac Salvo must live is a sky scraper somewhere berating polluted air. I would trust a gang thug more than him. Gang members will kill you and take what they want without any thought. He seems to have little idea of how people interact.

                • Well said brother. We may be old, and too crippled to run which just makes us more dangerous.

              • I’m not sure how well any bandits, tattooed up like those in the pictures above, will do in a long term collapse scenario. Most people I know would be armed, banding together, and growing the biggest gardens they can.

                • I’ve been thinking about similar ideas lately. There are some people that will only get the “9x interview” through a scope. If one can determine at distance that they’re bad news, they won’t get close enough to setup their ambush.

                  Also, what’s to say people don’t booby trap their perimeter? Or that we won’t be patrolling outside of it? I think the life of most looters would be short and end violently.

              • oohrah!

              • Simple take out as many as possible.

                • As frank white said” I never killed anybody that didn’t deserve it.

            • This article is about the thoughts of a criminal, premeditated, nothing else. He is ex-military! So are majority of the preppers and many on this site. He’ll be treated as a hostile. This individual needs to prep for his own death.

              • What’s to stop Preppers from doing the same to “State Preppers?”

                Nothing but the size of your balls!

                E.g., the easiest way to aquire weapons and ammo, is to pry them from the hands of dead government thug.

                Instant Preps.

                • yourmotherwaswrong: I have forecasted this in past postings. A few ‘cop-haters’ with a score to settle will make a call to an area that’s ripe for ambushing and when the cop(s) arrive at the phony call they get whacked. Their guns, ammo, and gear all taken. The same may happen to paramedics for their drugs and equipment. I hope this doesn’t happen, and it probably won’t, especially in a deep SHTF scenario because all these people will be home protecting their own homes and families. Better come up with another plan pal.

                  • @Gregory8

                    Exactly! They are targets of opportunity.

                    After all, they would have all the goodies, and they would be easy pickins for a motivated crew.

                    If Preppers aren’t wargaming that scenario, they should.

                  • Greg8 and YMWW, I’ve always suspected the same things, but I expect the feds and foreign troops will appear on our streets. Part of my plan is to take whatever weapons, ammo, and gear I can get from them. It’s a safe bet that local, county, and even state cops will be home taking care of their families. The feds won’t have that luxury. braveheart

                  • Looks like the dirt bag loser is leaking info to the world about what he has in mind for Syria. Everyone now knows what he will do, when he will do it, how he will do it, where he will do it and why he will do it.

                    Cowardly just like I thought, he isn’t going to do anything to piss off Russia or China, just make himself look like a hero. Guess what, he will look like the fool that he is and now the whole world will know that they can manipulate his puppet strings without any consequences.

                    We are being led by a coward, an incompetent follower who wants more than anything to look good but have no substance, a shell of a man, a puppet who can be manipulated. The scary part is when he is personally attacked by the corrupt leaders of the world, because then he may strike back with dire consequences, that is what a psychopath does. Hurt my country but love me is OK, insult my virility and make fun of me and you will pay dearly regardless of how if affects humanity.

                    I would bet my last dollar that the military is scared to death of this ego maniacal, incompetent, spoiled little monster, the mindless selfish congress and all the devil’s minions working behind the scenes.

                    You better say God help us all because he is the only hope we have now.

                • Only if they were really being a THUG. I’m not going to be the initial aggressor. If he come to take and I kill him, sure I will take everything he has except the underwear he just sh@ in. Body Armour, weapons, everything if I have the time.

                  • Well, yes and no…

                    I agree with your premise – and suspect that while the “ex-soldier” will have a lot of success early-on, he’s not going to last too long.

                    I also question why he would “hit preppers” first… any real soldier would know that an armed defender is a far bigger risk than the target’s unarmed neighbors just down the street, each with varying amounts of goodies. Incidentally, that kind of news is going to get out real fast too.

                    This is why you band together with your neighbors – that guy can hit *one* house, but he’s going to have a very hard time taking down a whole neighborhood or armed individuals.

                    Cops (and paramedics, etc) will catch on pretty quick – all it will take is for one hit, and word will get out *very* fast.

                  • If someone (the person planning to hit preppers) really does want to kill it is difficult to stop. There are several general statements about dealing with this one person and few specifics. The one person detailed in this article is not going to be the issue.
                    Think how motivated an accountant or shoe salesman will be when his kids are starving. Think how many threats you can cover 24 hours a day. The only two ways to deal with potential desperate people is to hide 24 hours a day and never leave your house. The other way is to not let anyone know your prepping.
                    Most here have blown the second option. Tell one and you have told all. Think about people who laugh at preppers. Think about a conversation about preppers and people joining in with the fact they know or are related to a prepper followed with all the wacky things we do. Good luck.

                • Don’t forget the NATO troops(in us military uniforms) who plan to come too,and they won’t just be after your supplies,they want everything you have, especialy your girls and working age children…ITS going to be a BLOODBATH no matter how you look at it,I have been shown by the LORD,IT will be a surprise attack,RED DAWN………….

                  • RFID can be neutralized with a homemade EMP device made from an old disposable camera and a flashlight, look it up on youtube if it’s still up there. Just have one on hand as part of your gear and use it as soon as the loot and scoot is over.

              If you order food preps from a store like Sam’s Club, have it shipped to the store (preferably in another county) and pick it up there. Do NOT have it shipped to your house.

              *Note – Sam’s Club has some reduced prices on Augason Farms storable food thru September 30th.

ATK’s top 10 stock holders are all major banks. We know these banks control our world so if they can’t take the guns, make sure the ammo is gone. ATK has enough government contracts ensuring they never have to sell to us again. Brass and lead is of more worth than gold.

Then the boxes are also torn up to destroy anything identifying the contents. These too are strewn about town. Lastly, all magazines have their labels removed and are tossed elsewhere when done. I never buy my guns and ammo from the same place, always at various places around the county with cash. When I go shoot, it’s at a private range and all my guns are concealed to and from the house in ordinary bags that don’t look like anything to do with shooting. I do my best to hide in plain sight. I also don’t talk to anyone about survival, prepping, shooting, or much of anything that could be taken by folks as anything out of the ordinary. OPSEC first, last, and always. Be safe!

                Indy Colts-

                Ok lemme get this straight. The banks buy the stock then CRASH the stock so they can lose money.

                Par for the fucking course thinking at SHTF Plan!”

                yes, absolutely – PUT options are super cheap to purchase especially when the stock market it going UP (it does not matter that it is artificially inflated via the government) it is all math algorithms

                so they buy, this helps drive the prices up even higher, and suckers in more buyers

                then as it is at the top, they purchase PUT options on their stocks, this is insurance against drops. then you easily set a stop loss on your stock as well at a lower number (usually still above your purchase price so even then you sell at a profit)

                when the market tanks, the stocks drop increasing your PUT options, as well as your stop loss is hit causing even more selling (causing your PUT’s to go up even more)

                then as the bottom comes in, you close out your PUT options. you make money on both sides of the trade and the suckers (usually the mom and pop investors) get to take the loss – the big guys call it arbitrage, but really it is just organized stealing

                if you don’t think this is how it works, start following/learning about the stock market and ask yourself WHY obama has unscheduled meetings with wall street, or the banks. just last week he had one.. what you don’t think they talk about the coming events? *(this was just before their syria announcement) you bet they do, have you ever seen anybody responsible for the 2008 crash go to jail? nope, just enriched them more and there will be more campaign donations next time around

            • Please however be extremely aware of the situatio you may face. please do not be trigger happy at anyone with a uniform. There are thousands of uniformed militia out there probably thousands more will form from honest x- military, farmers etc. Most I’m sure seek no harm and may wish to barter or trade with preppers. DON’T THROW POT SHOTS OFF AT UNIFORMS without positive ID. My 2 cents.

              • NM, your points are well taken. while positive ID is essential, they still need to prove they DON’T have evil intentions toward you. braveheart

          – a police/fire/etc scanner

          You people use this as a forum. Most posts have nothing to do with the posted article.

          It’s ok though.

          You all say a lot… which is good.

          SO, if they post an article on HAM radios will you then post a response about roving groups?

          Yeah… you would.

          • Ok, so things go off-topic in relation to the article now and then. It’s not like anyone is harmed in the process, nor is THAT the end of the world. We all know Mac does good work, and at times people post in some way that’s not always related to the article.

            • Scout-

              Its frustrating when you read an article….sometimes a real good one and then no one is talking a bout what was written.

              Mac must look at that too and think WTH am I writing for?

              • I will definitely have to kill the FedEx and UPS dudes first in a SHTF situation. They know too much. How’s that for being on topic.

              • Has anyone seen miley cyruses tongue, little whore is uuuuggglllyyy

                • You just pissed off 03311 🙂

                  • Well she is!
                    Gawd awful lookin and soundin little bitch, just no class.

                • speaking of tongue’s and being off subject a PW buddy of mine just got his tongue split ,so he could lick both sides of his wife’s ass at the same time

                  • I have a coworker who’s butt really makes you want plow the back 40!

              • @ 0311. I hope you are not just trying to be a trolltard and you are expressing your actually opinions on all of this. Otherwise, I will take Norse Preppers advice and totally ignore the trolltards. IF you are not here is what I think.

                The one really stand out characteristic of the prepper/survivalist is that they are non conformist. MAVERICKS that think on their own. What you are talking about is exactly what the mind controlled MSM and government want of the population, blind obedience. You have to follow the topic of the article period, and you can’t comment about another event, idea, or something else related to the title of the site SHTFplan.

                Everyone should know what is going on, what is wrong with showing people how to tune into emergency sites? What is wrong with showing people how to get better reception for information? You would have us wait until Mac posted an article about shortwaves? You would have us wait until Mac has an article about storing water, prepping, firearms, etc. before we can share this with others? mac is highly intelligent and I am sure he enjoys all the information that we teach each other each day on this site, regardless of the topic of the article. This is why this site is one of or the top sites for survival on the internet. Because people’s comment are not corralled into a box each time.

                Look here, I have been to other sites in which the retards have this strict stick to the article comment policy. They have about 2 to 15 comments per day and are never ranked higher than about 15 on the top 100 survival sites on the internet. These sites have good articles often and absolutely suck while trying to walk on the owner’s RULES “eggshells” to get a comment through. Try some of them and see the time you spent writing something get deleted and trashed because it didn’t conform to the sites’ rigid codes of behavior.

                My God man, WHY would anyone criticize all the good people out there that are taking their personal free time to try to help each other survive and have a chance for what is coming up? Why does Mac write these articles, because it keeps us updated on what is happening, and allows us to expand on the endless other issues that affect all of us in someway. 0311, Peterson, Yahoo, Finx, Jiveman, or whatever alias you choose, I say one axiom to you in regards to the success of this site, If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

                • @Be Informed-

                  I apologize if that came across that way.

                  Info is good. It is just that you can open an article here, read it, and then go to the comments to see NOTHING about it.

                  I am not so rigid as to say NEVER go off topic, but if you read back a lot of pages like I just did when I got here, you HAVE to say that most times, MOST of the comments in this section have NOTHING to do with the article at top.

                  • 0311, if you read all of the comments carefully, a good percentage of them are about the topic, dickhead.

                  • I read the articles here and find them already full of knowledge. I read the comments not only to see peoples thoughts and feelings about the article, but all the other useful information people post. In a bad situation, I prefer to be over informed than under informed. The people who post on this site have their stuff together, and readily offer excellent advice, even if it doesn’t pertain to the article above…and really, if you think about the overall scheme of things, everything pertains to being prepared. We need to stick together in trying times, as TPTB want to keep us seperate and vulnerable. The post about the radio frequencies was, from my take anyway, a way to help keep us together. Keeping in contact gives preppers an edge, as information is shared, not to mention status checks of friends made. If you find that the comments are going astray, post a question, share a comment in relation to the above article…be active. Most of us here want to learn and share experiences to help out, but there are times when thoughts stray. Be active, and the community will be active around you as well.

                    James V

                • Peterson has no alias!

              • 0311, I understand how being on topic is important. I’ve been a moderator of another website and found that when people take a topic off course, it does get frustrating. Rest assured, I have contacted Mac directly a few times over the last couple years and shared my appreciation for his work. Also, if I see an article he can expound on, I will link him to pertinent information.

              • 0311, if you think you can run the site any better, take it up with Mac. it’s his baby.

                • More like his cash cow. Do you understand ho these sites generate revenue?
                  One reason the off topic and rude comments are allowed.

                  $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

                  • 0311, is there something wrong with making money? The worker deserves his wages, and economies don’t run on free.

              • Thanks Mac for all of the hard work.
                I have been reading your articles for a few years now, and only recently posted a few comments.

                @0311
                I come to this site for the articles and the discussion. It’s like dinner and dessert.

                • James, thanks so much for your kinds words and for joining the conversation.

                  The discussion is what keeps it interesting!

                  Shout out to the SHTFplan community!

                  • “The discussion is what keeps it interesting!”

                    Exactly!

                • +1 i work nights and i dont get here til about 2 or 3 am but i come here every night ,i read the article ,and then the comments ,good way to wind down at the end the day

                  thanks

            • ScoutMotto, disregard this troll named 0311. it’s perfectly normal to off-topic on occasion to post links to other articles at other sites that we otherwise might never learn about, like KY Mom does for us, for example. some articles deal with the topic at hand, some don’t/ Regardless, it’s still all about survival-related subjects. braveheart

              • I just knew you were gonna toss in a bucket of KFC…. LOL

                • Peterson troll, I’ve told your stupid ass previously to back off from Ky Mom, so go f#$% yourself and take 0311 with you!

              • Again…exactly…one thought spins another and we go off on a tangent that comes around full circle to the main topic at hand which is always the same…
                …Survival… and how do we get there…

          • OMG, I LOVE PORK.

            I ain’t gonna lie, my wife makes a soup called Posole Po-so-lay that is THE BEST. It’s made out of a ham butt roast and it’s so damn delicious.

          • 0311, a lot of us here have become family in a manner that you may not understand yet (no cut intended). As older people, some topics trigger thoughts to share with others. Off subject at times? Sure, yet at times the off target subjects inject a sense of sanity in a very evil and insane world. You said HAM radios. You could possible get some ham reciepts. I enjoy beans with ham and cornbread. Enjoy the diversions.

            • Greenlight Thinking; that’s good stuff!!!

              No reason to apologize.
              Trolls will be trolls.

              Sidenote to y’all:
              might wanna say “I recommend” not “I have”

              Ah, well. Back to the shadows.

            • DRD5508, Amen. I like black forest ham with cheese on wheat bread. braveheart

              • Is that before or after Whiskey ?

                • 007, there’s no alcohol consumption on my part, so f#$% you!

          • 0311,

            Perhaps we should have more government control over this site, you know, big bro reading and determining who is staying in line. Maybe the IRS could handle that as well as Osamacare. How dare “you people” think outside the box, you shall pay dearly for using your own brain.

            Oh, by the way 0311 you just broke the law by straying away from the topic at hand.

            • ***Perhaps we should have more government control over this site, you know, big bro reading and determining who is staying in line***

              Or charge a fee for every word not related..(snort snort)!! 🙂

              • Yea, otherwise 0311 and his possy will come and kill you and take your preps!
                Oooooo so scared now!

                @watchman

                Im making kale soup, will add the recipe when im done, going to use all storage stuff to make it, other than the kale and onions they fresh off of my farm.

                • Kula…have you tried the variety called Russian Kale?…not exactly the same as say curly kale but it has a good flavor a large leaf and its slow to bolt…pretty good I think.

                  • I just planted some Red Russian, good stuff, holds up real good, cant use it for my commercial production though because its way too crazy, every time you break off a leaf it sends out a new stalk, is a good hearty variety though and an heirloom to boot, so can save seeds, kale has the highest nutrient value of almost all the leafy veggies, real high protein and antioxidants too. Just gotta get past the bitter.y favorite way to eat kale is blanched, cut into thin strips like cabbage then made into a slaugh with a good old fashioned cider vinegar dressing. Good stuff

                  • It might just be me(and family) but I think the rusky is sweet compared to some of the others… 🙂

                  • Reb
                    Definitely one of the more mild varieties,
                    I want to try it for chips,
                    For the sauce i mix
                    Cashews
                    Sunflower seeds
                    Dietary yeast
                    Lemon juice
                    Turmuric
                    Bell pepper maybe a Jalapeno or Ceyenne too
                    Buzz it in the food processor, add enough lemon juice that its about like a pancake batter
                    Clean the kale,
                    Dry in a spinner,
                    Combine the kale and paste
                    Mix it well, separating and coating the leaves
                    Dehydrate
                    I use a 9 tray excalliber, usually runs about 5-6 hours on the veggie setting
                    Enjoy!
                    Will be real brittle, bigger pieces are better, store in a rigid airtight container so chips dont go soggy or get busted up

                • I am doomed. I won’t eat any vegetables. Never have.

                • I’ve had kale all summer. So hot here in the desert but hasn’t quit yet. Going to plant more next year.

          • 0311 if they talk about ham radios we might talk about
            having a BBQ

            • Ssshhhh
              Dont give up the code, opsec!

        • Over the past few years it has occurred to me that no matter who you are, what you do, how much you prep, or how detailed of a plan you are willing to engage & negotiate…..if you don’t know who your true savior is you are still going to be bare-assed naked when the SHTF.

          We all die eventually. When the SHTF, you may survive 20 seconds or 20 years after, but understanding who to truly put your faith into is what will make that eventual transition less painful.

          Never give up!

          Signed, Bitter Clinger 😉

            Well said!!!

            ~Sir Winston Churchill.

            Love that man.

              • @yourmother was right!

                Well aren’t you a peach! When they eat you alive, I won’t salivate but pray for your pathetic soul.
                I do love you.

              • Churchill was arguably the greatest man of the 20th Century.

                You are not.

                • Ask The Nation of India how they feel about Mr. CHURCHILL

          • Agree 100%. My wife asked what we should be doing that we haven’t already done in our prep’s. I said do what Jesus said “put on the armor of the Lord”. If you are not saved, it won’t matter how much you prep. God is very specific about this.

        • Be Informed,

          Great info. Thanks.

        • Howdy, BI, and everything you said about shortwave is correct. allow me to add that a shortwave radio with [SSB] single sideband capability is a MUST. Radio Shack has a few models for under $200. Or go to http://www.universal-radios.com, which carries a huge selection of portable and tabletop shortwave sets and the prices will vary. if you go the portable route, be sure to stock up on extra batteries for it. braveheart

          • We have a couple of these radio’s BaoFeng UV-5R. I have been using them to listen in on local LEO’s. You can program them to MURS frequencies and set the radio for 1 watt narrow band. You can tune to any of the weather channels or listen to FM while you wait for something interesting on your primary channel. Available at Amazon for $32.00.

            • While they can be programmed for MURS, GMRS, and FRS it is illegal to operate the UV-5R on those bands as it is not FCC Part 95 certified. http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-FAQ.php#certify

              Anyone willing to do that may as well program the Ham and emergency responder frequencies and PL tones so you can transmit on those as well.

              • Yes, and for now we just listen. As far as I can tell it only has 3 digit tuning and will not line up on FRS frequencies. During an “emergency” the radio becomes a life saver. Hopefully this winter I will have the time to get a HAM license.

          • http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007H4VT7A

            You’ll save much more money with these. As far as I know, it doesn’t have the annoying block for certain frequencies so you can broadcast on all channels.

        • Now that is what I come to this site for… Thanks, BI! It’s nice to have a SOLUTION or means of one from some one instead of just problems…

        • Just a quick point. It is almost certain that once SHTF, these open government frequencies will no longer be reliable. Either they will be shut down, enciphered or used to feed disinformation at that point.

          And unless you have their keymat or more computing power than Fort Meade there is no breaking their crypto.

          • The best info at that point would come from OUTSIDE the country.

            • Selco.
              Dude knows what hes talking about,

          • Yes, most likely they will be taken and used as propaganda organs.

        • I would imagine most of those freqs are Upper Sideband?

        • There’s an old cable pole right outside my door, with a length of unused coaxial hanging down. I used my fluke and there is no power running through it…clipping onto that might make a nice antenna.

        • Just 3 days, Rupee!

        • An amateur radio transceiver is not a cheap thing to buy, but I consider it a “must have” whether you have a license or no. Most of them can be “opened up” to transmit outside the amateur bands, but you didn’t hear it from me.

          (My rig of choice: Yaesu FT-950)

        • A long wire antenna can be somewhat concealed by running it under rain gutters, along a wooden fence, etc.

        • Great Post Be Informed,
          As a former Army Radio Telegraphist I spent 3 years with an EW Regiment and a further 3 years with Comms and Security Group specializing in ELINT…. the capabilities of EW/NSA is incredible, one of the things I recommend is to use a Tablet or laptop with a interface and ‘Text’ your comms as high speed burst transmissions, as this is harder to DF because of the speed. If you are going to use voice comms then a comms map is necessary of your AOP and always transmit at the lowest power setting possible to maintain comms. Another suggestion as you have mentioned is have your own EW capabilities, that is monitoring the freqs, you can easily DF any comms as long as you have a decent Rx with SWR, and one or better yet two other Rxing stations…
          Anyway good suggestion,

        • I did the same thing you are talking about when I was 12. I’m 73 now so that’s been a few years ago. My brother and I built a crystal radio. It used no power and you could choose the stations you wanted to hear by just attaching to the right bare spot. (We used to listen to the Grand Ole Opry) Any way, what do you think of this kind of radio? As I remember, about forty feet of antenna wire took us to the world.

          • My dad used to have 3 large plants in his back yard. He called them “mole bean plants”. Said they kept the moles out of the yard. He also said you had to cut the tops out every year to keep them from seeding all over the place. A few years later I had bought land in the mtns. Moles were terrible. I asked for some seed to the mole bean plant. He said “darling, those seeds are poisonous. Are you sure you want them? You gotta keep the seeds away from deer etc, it’ll kill em.” I asked him exactly what a mole bean plant was, well he couldn’t remember the proper name of the plant but he went on to explain…” Do you remember the guy that died in that hotel room trying to make that poison-it was on the TV” we’ll yes, of course I did, the idiot was cooking RICIN! ” yeah, that’s it he said, that’s what’s in those seeds. Well mystery solved, the mole bean plants were castor beans. A couple of years later he cut the bushes down, and only God know what happened to those seeds, cuz he sure didn’t tell me.

            • What have you not done. “Making crap up again” I see

              • Sounds like it might be my son.

          • It is, hillbilly SC is a little slow I think.

            RICIN for all

          • Archivist, your right RICIN is the word, but it seems just you and I and a few others are really interested in doing something besides, attacking each other in a nasty manner. Hillbilly SC used Anthrax which is cool, because it will still raise a flag at the NSA and thats the important thing. Wish some of these people that spend all of their time going on personal attacks against Patriots on this site would use some of their energy to come up with some ideas. Trekker Out

      3. Seriously, these guys will be suffering casualties pretty quick with no reinforcements. Sure, they might get that lone ranch house with a husband and wife and maybe only lose one or two men. Try this shit in an organized community and the losses will be heavy. These idiots want to play big bad wolf, they’re going to find out how many of us bite back and hard. I’m talking booby traps, camera systems, motion detectors, false routines and the works. Good luck morons, you’re not going to last long doing this shit.

        • Bingo!
          Not many are deep in the country like myself, but the core strategy is the same nonetheless. Get to know your neighbors….WELL!

          • *** He doesn’t have enough money right now to prep himself***

            Well, now. That changes our views. NOT!! 🙂

        • @ JoeRepublic. I so much agree. You look at these characters and I see a future corpse, walking and talking now like they have all the answers. This could also be the government trying to scare off preppers/survivalists. Preparation is the only answer now, and part of that is putting as many holes in asshole parasites like this that would dare to try to steal others’ lifelines, that are too lazy to prepare on their own.

          • Definition of a home robber. Someone that breaks into your home and forcefully tries to take something. There are laws against this in pre SHTF times. You have every right to defend your home before, during, and after true SHTF. Anyone attempting to take your supplies, by force or by theft is nothing but a criminal. There is NO excuse for this type of plan to attack preppers or anyone else. Very poor people all the time put away fro tomorrow. What someone like this is doing is advocating being a criminal. Most states have Home Castle laws, and even if there was a recovery after SHTF, very few people would be prosecuted for protecting themselves from home invasion, especially with some THUG with weapons breaking in like some meth head. NO EXCUSE for anyone not to be putting what they need away right now for SHTF, even small amounts. NO EXCUSE.

            • Be informed, you are not very street wise, are you?

              • 0311…you MUST be a compartmentalized DHS thugs or a splinter faction thereof, aren’t you? You are not a very good soul, are you? You are going to end your own game with such kindness. Beware the watchman.

              • 0311—Why don’t you try to break into BI house and find out for yourself as how smart he is. Actually try to break into any homes who share BI’s mentality.

              • 0311,

                I think I figured you out, I will bet money that your AKA is Yahoo, unless of course you’re twins, ugh.

              • @ 0311

                You just accused ‘Be Informed’ of not being very “worldly”.

                What you, and many others may not realize is that you gave him the ultimate compliment – trust me on this 🙂

            • Would you cut off Jean Valjeans hand for stealing a loaf of bread to feed a hungry sister? Would you kill someone in SHTF who just wants to feed their hungry children? Killing that father might be a death sentence for the family also.

              • So we are to take from our own children because someone else was too stupid to prepare and take care of their own? Not going to happen! I have the foresight to make sure my family is fed. Not my job to feed the masses. Let them stand in a FEMA line and hope for the best! You feed them once, they keep coming back!

              • Certainly I would cut off Jean Valjean’s hand for STEALING what I have stored for SHTF. In times like those, feeding his children may cause mine to starve. If I could assist and if I was approached by a freind, by someone I knew and trusted, perhaps we could barter…but do not try to steal from me now or after SHTF. A stranger will not find much welcome as I do not know if he is a trustworthy person seeking to trade and barter or someone trying to gain intelligence regarding my supplies and force strength…SHTF is not a time to come scrounging. Make your alliances now, and quietly.

              • Word on the street is that you’re willing to force yourself on women (even the hispanic sub-humans) so you arent really the go-to opinion in matters of ethics.

                • I never said anything to that effect. I said that such things will happen. And if you happen to have all the food, then you have your choice of women for your harem.

                  • Man ya gotta eat and ya gotta sleep sometime 🙁 …one darling little filly is plenty enough to take care of and work with…maybe they will humor you for a bit but methinks that’s a way to get castrated and dead if your lucky…worse if youre not…Id rather face a grizz than a bunch of po’ed ladies that have an honest beef with me…besides its really in poor taste to suggest that just because a lady “would” that you “should”…talk about preying on the weak and innocent or just desperate… 🙁

                  • LIAR! Remember arguing with a chap named Malcolm reynolds? Mal R?

                    You most certainly have called latinos sub humans and said they’re good for nothing but a piece of ass.

                • BTW, The ‘Hispanic sub-humans’ is how Eisen refers to them, not me.
                  I’m married to a Hispanic lady and she’d kill me if I called her that.

                  • Not So Much-
                    A Puerto Rican by any other name is still a Puerto Rican.

                    Freakin Puerto Ricans and Blacks…. you have to keep up with what thy want to be called THIS WEEK.

                  • I don’t keep up with anything. Who told you that you had to? And my wife is Mexican.

                    And I don’t have an axe to grind on race (no matter how racist the blacks were when I was growing up in NC in the 70s) and if you insist on grinding yours here, I will make you look stupid.

                  • Not So Much, I used to be married to a Hispanic woman and they are wonderful women. if I catch eisen posting that on this site, I’ll get him. braveheart

                  • He doesn’t need your help to look stupid.

                  • Mexicans are WORSE than the Puerto Ricans… and then another step down wold be Cuban.

                  • 0311, what the f#$% do you know about Hispanic women? I used to be married to a Cuban who lost half of her family to Fidel Castro’s communist thugs. she was more woman and a better woman than a lot of American women I’ve ever known. Hispanic women are tough, know how to survive, and can be your best friend and lover as long as you treat them right. None of them would ever take any of your bullshit. If my wife was alive now, she would have you for supper. hell has no fury like the wrath of a Hispanic woman.

                  • Mexican people are like whites, some good, some bad. A Mexican family is buying one of our houses. Their payments are always made, sometimes more. Today instead of depositing $400.00, they paid into our account $4,000.00. They want to get out of debt. There is nothing negative about this family as far as we are concerned. Some white families may tell you that the payment will be late and then you find out that they just bought a new vehicle

                  • Braveheart,
                    Thanks brother.

              • I would cut off both hands. that Mythical father is a failure and him and his will perish. Its likely 90% of the people will die. I will not tolerate thievery. Any uninvited person Trespassing into my property carrying weapons I would assume means to do harm. They will be dealt with harshly. Did you know it Is Legal to shoot trespassers in Texas?

                • “it Is Legal to shoot trespassers in Texas”

                  It is not and you’re gonna go to jail believing that, idiot.

                  It’s legal to use deadly force to protect property. HUGE difference and I’m sorry, but you tell a DA, ‘he walked on my property so I shot him’ and your dumb ass is going to get a new name. Either ‘inmate 234553’ or simply ‘bitch’.

                  • Or “Old Bitch”
                    maybe he can start using it NOW on here

                  • Who said they were going to tell anyone!
                    Shoot
                    Shovel
                    Shut up!
                    End of story

                • Old guy, I’m with you 1000%. The nonpreppers have the deck stacked against them all the way. Nobody is taking a damned thing away from me, either. I’ve worked too hard and invested too much of my own money in preps to just let any POS come along and take them. come to my place with weapons and I already know what your intentions are. They will get properly “ventilated”. braveheart

                  • Bravehart, do you really think anyone will “walk up to your place with weapons”?
                    If they are good, you will never see them.

                    Think SWAT team coming into your place tonite.

                    It CAN happen, and there is NOT SHIT you would do.

                    Except die when and if you are stupid enough to resist.

              • Eisen, that father is responsible for providing for his own family. THAT IS NOT OTHER PEOPLES’ RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS HIS OWN RESPONSIBILITY TO PREP AND PROVIDE FOR HIS OWN FAMILY, NOT SOMEONE ELSE’S. IF HE FAILED TO DO SO, THAT’S HBIS FAULT, NOT SOMEONE ELSE’S. NOBODY OWES THAT FATHER A DAMNED THING! BRAVEHEART

              • EISEN in today world if one can see that he should be
                preppin for his family then that’s his damn fault
                that person is more worried about worldly things that someone else has instead of worrying about his family
                I will feed his children but that SOB can starve

                • Howdy, Swampratt. That father that refuses to prep for his own family is a POS. I guess I can see giving his kids 2-3 days worth of food and water, but you’re dead right the SOB can starve. he ought to starve, anyway. braveheart

              • Cut off someone’s hand for “stealing” during a time of collapse? Um…that’s called “looting”, and we all know what happens to looters, don’t we?

              • Have no idea who Jean is….secondly that’s a strawman/liberal bleeding heart imagination type argument…this animal is talking about killing you and yours perhaps in a most brutal fashion so that he/his have something….not talking about someone stealing food to survive in a non-violent manner…and that’s not what most folks here are inferring,VIOLENCE met with violence… come on man use your head Ive seen you do it a couple times….

              • I won’t kill him unless he harms someone, but he is going to be sent on his merry way to exile, unless he possesses a needed skill.

                Refugees will get some charity, thieves none. Ask first.

            • There’s plenty of places left on my property to bury the bodies…and some of the dirt could use the burst in fertilizers for the next season…trick is not to plant, uhm bury, below the reach of the roto-tiller.

              Worms gotta eat too!

              Honestly, this is going to get just as nasty as it has in every other country broken thus far by this multi-millennial cabal. I try to paint peaches on a turd when I say “good migrates toward good”…I mean well but that’s simply wishful thinking. When the shoe drops, or gets tossed either way, the average animal-holes will pop to the surface immediately IMO. Hunkering down is one thing, but we’ll all have to stay up on the odd hour to watch who’s stealing chickens and much worse.

              Just watch Syria and know it’s coming.

              BTW, what happened to AlJizzera News buying Current TV then going off the air in the DC Broadcast market this past week? They were my daily fix of visual bloodshed and abhorrent violence Mclame & Lintseed GrahamhockCracker and BoratMomamma seem to want us to enjoy so soon. My guess is they put a noose around them because we were seeing too much of the truth, that the muslim Brohats are a farce and we are being lied to every waking second.

              I can always watch CCTV – commie chinese tv but that is really depressing. They are truly kicking our asses both economically and, about to say, militarily.

              Thank you Mac and folks like BI… you have helped me stay focused and seem the only true beacon until we all hear the booms before the silence. God Bless the good!

              • I heard a story about a body being frozen in a freezer and processed through a wood chipper and fed to the pigs? There was a woman in Hoxie Ar. that beat her husbands EX wife to death with a hammer. She cremated the body in the back yard with kindling wood. She was caught years later when one of the children who was a toddler at the time kept telling teachers at school the Tale. That being stated the very last thing I would want to do is Kill someone. If I did I would never call the authorities. I wouldn’t tell anyone not even my wife.

            • Be Informed,
              If it gets to a SHTF situation and a tatted out joker like that one in the second video shows up any where’s near our place, there won’t be any warning, we’ll know just what he is and what he’s after. The rules will change overnight maybe even quicker. The established laws will be thrown out the window. He had better keep his ass down starting at about 800meters on in. Locals will know what a guy like that is and know instantly how to deal with it. Guys like that wont last very long, they will be slowly get picked off generally, but if if it gets to the point that someone is hunting them, they will have a problem too. Fighting and running on unfamiliar ground without resupply always on the defensive, against an aggressor that knows the lay of the land and all of the shortcuts, they will have to be really good or real lucky.
              On an off topic. Our kid that live next door about three weeks ago got what I thought was a worthless dog a poodle no less. What I found out was this stupid thing is about the best cheapest effective early warning system yet. Day or night it doesn’t matter, inside 150 meters this thing goes off. If I want to see where it is, just look at the dog and where he’s looking. Who’d a thunk a little yaper dog could be so effective. Here’s the real up side, he doesn’t eat much and not many land mines either.

            • It doesn’t give us an excuse not to prep, but it does excuse the lone wolf mentality. This kind of fear keeps us from uniting, because one of ‘them’ might be in the mix. This keeps those of us who are alone, alone.

              There has to be a way to unite without the fear.

          • Am I the only one who remembers the crux of this article appeared under the approximate title, “SHTF Raiders” two or three years ago on SurvivalBlog?

            And those “scary” looking dudes are Hispanic gang bangers from Los Angeles. Those images have been all over the internet for years.

            Compared to a sedentary, middle aged suburban type, a much younger banger might or might not be tough one on one. Like other cowards what makes them dangerous is having nineteen buddies pile on to help them out.

            So Mr. Raider was “in the military” was he? Was he combat arms or was he in the paymaster’s office? That makes some difference.

            He will find that not having air cover, an engineering corp, artillery, medics not to mention 29,000 buddies on site will dampen his alleged ferocity just a wee bit.

            American Mercenary and Max Velocity had articles about lone wolves trying to be Che Guevarra. Those writers DO have the military been-there’s to opine on it.

            Even if Mr. Raider WAS a real life Rambo sooner or later he is going to pick on the wrong BOL. He and his partners will get their heads pink misted. Feed them to the hogs.

            • I remember the video from then.

              They won’t last long.

        • Yeah not only casualties but they act too bold and they will be leaving behind supplies of their own to augment your arsenal. As anything involving a SHTF situation, the dead will be resources to pick over!

        • Joe can I come move into your neighborhood? 🙂

        • Your right on!We have discussed this and intend to make folks like this our slaves if attacked. “Community Property” so to speak.

        • A couple of good dogs and good nieghbors with dogs will end thier surveilance then the 762×54 180’s will be arriving. If there was a total collapse, where are they going to download a topo map.Such fear porn bs. Alot of preppers have plenty of combat experience.

        • Most people think when prepping for defence go for a 9mm or 45acp pistol & 5.56/.223 or 7.62/.308 combo there is nothing wrong with that but they are still missing that one extra weapon to handle barrier penetration. During the middle ages body army was made obsolete by the increased use of the firearms in battle which were more like shooting mini cannons .850 lead balls & larger, the purpose being to knock the armoured soldier to the ground in order to finnish him off . today the use of certain personal protevtive armour has made 5.56 useless against it & therefore it is only logical to equip oneself or group with weapons larger than .400 shooting bullets in the 400gr to 600gr range which is also very effective against light skinned vehicles therfore why not go for 5.56 ar battle rifle & 45-70 lever action or ar in .458 socom & 9mm p pistol or some similar combo in that way they will need nothing short of a tank to drive ut to your front door

          • 7mm Rem. mag loaded with 175 gr Speer Hotcor @ 2950 fps with a sectional density of .310. If it does not go clean through it would be a KO. Penetration is accomplished by velocity and a high SD. A high SD is achieved by using heavy bullets for caliber. The SD of a 55 gr .223 is .157. The SD of a 180 gr .308 is .271.

            • thats all paper math stuff but what about on the street, bush or woods is it the one you will carry & how practical would the rifle be & have you lived with that rifle 24 hrs a day & can it take knocks, jolts, scrapes & dirt & still function. Unless its the only one you got & instead of hating it because it does not look cool like those tactical things seen in the magazines you will make a fighting gun out of it

              • Yes, It is a “plain jane” Ruger bolt action with a stainless steel barrel/action, black synthetic stock, Leupold VXIII 2.5 x 8 scope, ported barrel, polished action, a 3 lb trigger without creep, and shoots sub MOA. It has been on mountain Elk hunts, deer hunts, and has been in my stable for more than 10 years. The only draw backs are it’s lack of a detachable magazine and you MUST have hearing protection. Porting the barrel turned it into a fire breathing dragon.

                I was just trying to support your thought on thinking outside the norm for a rifle with some knock down penetration punch. Almost anything is better than a .223.

                • 100% worth its weight in gold & Ruger do make some fine stainless, happy hunting shooter

          • What made middle-age body obsolete was the good old English longbow. It was another couple hundred years before firearms could begin to compete with it.

        • I can hear Dueling Banjos in the background….

      5. i am not suprised.

        no matter how great an organization you may have spent time in(military, church); there’s always going to be people from those groups who will still drop every principle if their lifestyle changes and dont think you wont have some neighbors, friends and families who attack you once they figure you’ve got some advantage over most everyone else around.

        we’ve got some yard squirels and we feed them because we like having squirels around, but no matter how much food i lay out; there’s one that’ll run off the others and eat it all for herself because the squirels have no idea that i’ll lay out food again tomorrow.

        if things get that bad in the US to where 1/2 the country doesnt know if they will eat each day, its going to be mob rule and survival of the fittest.

        dont you just love what our elected officials have done with this country ?

        • LENA- it would definitely be more like 95% unprepared.

          Hungry people will be all over everyone.

          The odds are not in the preppers favor.

          Everyone: Please keep on prepping.

          For US.

          We Thank You.

            wanna find out

          • 0311, while I can agree at least 95% of the population are unprepared and there will be hungry nonpreppers everywhere, it’s the nonpreppers who have the deck totally stacked against them. We preppers have the best odds in our favor BECAUSE WE ARE PREPPERS. I’m not sure how many of us will make it ALL THE WAY through post-SHTF but I’m sure everyone here will give it their very best shot. I know damned well I will. braveheart

            • Bravehart, I agree most will give it their best shot.

              But most won’t make it.

          • Yeah, I’m prepping for you guys…I’ve got dozens of pounds of lead and brass…and it’s all for YOU.

        • Home made Apple Pie Moonshine.

          3 – R.W. Knudsen (Organic) Apple Juice 96 oz. About $8.00 jug.

          2 – Braggs (Organic) apple cider 1 Qt. About $6.00 bottle.

          13/14 count cinnamon sticks (look in the mexican area, cheaper at Walmart)

          2 cups white sugar.

          2 cups light brown sugar.

          1.75 liter of Everclear.

          (Special note) Had to use Everclear because the ‘shine just tasted to damn good by itself. 😉

          In a “large” pot start heating the apple juice, when it starts to get hot add the sugar and cinnamon sticks. when it comes back up to boiling add the cider. (we added a Lil’ bit of cinnamon powder at this time also, about 2 tsp.) When it gets hot again, add the Everclear.

          When the mixture is boing again, start to ladle/pour into quart jars. Y’all will need 13 and a 1/2 quart jars. Wipe the rims with a clean damp paper towel and then screw down the lids sort of snug. (Not super tight… just hand tight)

          It takes about 10 minutes or more for ya to here the “ping” of the jars sealing. Just set the jars on a towel with no fans blowing on them.

          Enjoy, just don’t blame us for the rug print on the side of your face the next day. 🙂

          • Hey…I still have some down the basement from last Christmas. I make it in glass gallon jugs and it seems to get better with age.

            It doesn’t really need to be sealed. Nothing can live in that proof likker. lol

            • P.S….I would just like to add this bit of info.

              Wait until your mixture cools down before adding the liquor. If you boil it you are boiling the alcohol off.

              Alcohol has a lower boiling point than water…ask your local moonshiner.

          • OPSpec:

            Good thing you threw in the “organics”, otherwise I would have thought this might be hard on my health. I’m gonna make some, YUM! Thanks

          • Everclear is deadly, best use is antiseptic.

            • We used to mix it with Hawaiian punch back in school, ripped!

        2 cups sugar
        thinly pared rind of 3 lemons
        1 cup fresh lemon juice

        • Although Moose is about the best tasting meat on earth, I just cant bring myself(yet) to apply for a tag to shoot one. I have 3 that hang out on my property in Naples, but they are so fearless, mean, and stupid, I dont see any challenge.

          • They’re a bit scarce down in Washington and Idaho, I wouldn’t shoot one here either, but in Canada or Alaska, there’s enough to go around.

            Certainly do taste good. Moose stew and moose sausage is the best eating.

        • Wow, alot happens around here in 24 hours. Watchman, you forgot how to list how much “Indian meat” goes into the “Indian Pudding 2”.

          2 TBS, 2 tsps, 2 cups, or 2 pounds? Any particular “tribe” better than another?

          • Osage for seasoning?

        • @watchman – thanks for the great recipies! have printed most of them. btw, the advice on the other story to soak moose or venison in milk to draw out the gamey-taste does work. YUM!

          • I freeze left over crab meat in milk. I’ve drank the milk a year later and it was still good:-). Really though, the crab meat was still good a year later.

        • Watchman ,
          I think I am going to have to fill the printer with more paper at work !
          Keep em coming, dinner for my long weekend.
          at least I will eat good till the shtf hits!

      13. A small collection of quotes to meditate upon…

        “Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
        ― Sun Tzu

        “One more dance along the razor’s edge finished. Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today.”
        ― Robert Jordan

        “Always mystify, mislead, and surprise the enemy, if possible; and when you strike and overcome him, never let up in the pursuit so long as your men have strength to follow; for an army routed, if hotly pursued, becomes panic-stricken, and can then be destroyed by half their number. The other rule is, never fight against heavy odds, if by any possible maneuvering you can hurl your own force on only a part, and that the weakest part, of your enemy and crush it. Such tactics will win every time, and a small army may thus destroy a large one in detail, and repeated victory will make it invincible.”
        ― Stonewall Jackson

        • Snisha, great timing.

        • If you can’t dazzle ’em with your wit, then baffle ’em with your bullshit…

          • And we are all experts with that.

            • I avoided having my backpack snatched once, by playing dumb. He grabbed the strap and said “gimme that pack”.

              I looked at him as if he was speaking martian. Of course, getting himself flung into a brick wall wiped that stupid look off his face real fast…

              • True Story.

      14. When it all falls apart I expect this kind of thing from every group of people to some degree,they can die the same as anyone else.I also expect a lot of people will do what they can to help strangers,I am part of this group,probably why I will not survive too long but have lived a good life and as stated before am comfortable with dying trying to help out folks.

        • May the Grace and Peace of God be with you. Our weakness is actually the strength of Christ. “When I am weak I am strong..”

        • I definitely don’t mind pulling a few feathers out of my mattress, to comfort someone else.

          • Sounds kinky!

            • I guess if you like that sort of thing—personally, I prefer non-lumpy mattresses…but I’m no “Princess and the Pea” type, for sure.

      15. I only know of one family I’m close to that is prepping. My neighbors are meth heads and I live in the county in a country suburb. I prep but I know it can all be taken so easily. Makes me glad I married a tough redneck

        • @ it’swellwithsoul:

          Good for you! We gave up our whole extended family when they thought I had 3 heads. Bet they regret that today.
          I forgive but they have to see truth not just hungry.
          They come back to me and mine on our terms. That’s a huge chunk of luggage now. Jesus isn’t gonna cut it. That door is cracked but I’m no longer squishy to family. Sad but true. I’m a force that will defend my family against family if I have to.
          I’m not sure what will get them in that door…or if it’s even cracked at best. Defcon1 means just that. I’ll know it when I see it. Love for extended family has waned. It would be like an old friend wanting lunch. Meh.

          No thanks.

      16. Southernprepper1 is a charlatan and a prep snob. He gave absurdly low scores to very sophisticated preppers on the TV show. What qualifies him as the expert anyway?

        • Well, for one, all of his videos.

          On that same note, what qualifies you to judge him?

        • Everyone with a YOU TUBE channel is an expert EisenKruz, didnt you know this already?

          Oh..and everyone HERE is an expert and cannot be taken out also.

          Get you shot together boy.

      17. Its a given that there are snakes out there….people who believe their survival trumps anyone elses, we see it everyday in a relatively prosperous nation,how much more in a world gone to hell?…fella a fool though because he aint all that tough,just thinks he is…I wont be asking a lot of questions or taking chances…I may be kinda prone to just shoot first and find out more later…ya I know that’s not Christian but in a world where its me feed mine and you try to eat mine and hurt mine… youre gonna rot in a hole if I have any say in it…be safe my friends!

        • …besides in a SHTF thingy theres no need to takefolks stuff…itll be laying all over the place for you to pick up off the ground so to speak….no excuses for them…

          • REB, 0311 is the first troll that posts using a number, not a name. I know that number can’t be his IQ. I think all of us have higher IQs than him or any other troll for that matter. braveheart

            • Bravehart you are absolutely right that that number is not my IQ.
              But your comment does tell me one thing about you at least.

              • And what’s that?

            • Hes just a blowhard looking for some attention…even negative is good in his world…sad….as for the name/number just put the decimal in fron of the zero where it belongs… 😉

        • REB-

          You probably won’t have any say in it if you were near us.

          • 0311 your already dead and don’t even know it

          • You sound like another Internet tough guy. Time will tell .

            You may do your last dance on the end of a rope.

            • J. Roy- and you may do yours at the end of a barrel.

              Time will tell huh?

              • Thanks for the nice video though. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out.

                Better hope I don’t see you first.

          • Key word there is “probably” sonny boy…I could “probably” smell you if I were near you…you know…FEAR and crap in thy drawers…

      18. “The last thing we want is for those who failed to heed the warnings, to come knocking on our doors looking for handouts or a place to weather the storm.”

        That’s a terrible mindset to have. Being prepared is great, but part of any plan is how are you going to help others.

        • Go right ahead Tom.
          And be sure to have enough to feed that big family of that one you’re ‘helping’ for a few months.
          Oh, better yet, be sure to have enough ammo to fend off those friends of that one you’re ‘helping’.

        • TOMKC-

          I plan on helping by redistributing the “wealth” from these guys to those truly in need.

          From hoarders to poor people.

          • Occupy preperism!
            Or
            Occupy survivalism!
            Dom i gotta rinse my mouth out that liberal commy crap really leaves a bad taste in my mouth!

          • 0311,

            Consider yourself bitch slapped you little bitch.

            You are obviously a little Osamabama ass kisser so just go use your ebt card and buy yourself a lube job.

          • A parasite with a RobinHood complex. Hmm…

            When you die, we’re splitting up your gear.

          • Whatya know, a regular Robin Hood.

            Of course, you wouldn’t deprive any of those poor people of food by eating any of it yourself, would you?

        • The problem with giving someone a place to weather the storm is, too many people interpret “God helps those who help themselves” too literally. No one wants to try to help someone, only to wake up with all your provisions gone, or with a gun stuck in your face because they didn’t think you ‘helped’ enough.

          I guess I’d use my intuition, and then decide if I thought I could take this person if I had to. I’d minimize the risk of getting stabbed in the back. If I couldn’t do that, I’d probably be a whole lot less forgiving.

          Anyone knowing anything about Nam, or any similar conflict might agree…even the most seemingly helpless, innocent victim can end up being the death of a good Samaritan.

          I think this is a choice we’ll all have to make at the time, and no debate can ever really prepare you for it.

      19. This is how my prepping has been going.

        With the best training that money can buy, we have a MUCH better chance at success than most any of you.

        For the guy who thinks his cameras and booby traps will stop……..

        you really have no clue, do you?

        LOL.

        I’m prepped. Because of all of YOU, we don’t even need to THINK about where our stuff will come from.

        Y’all are just hangin onto it FOR us.
        Haha.

        • ” don’t even need to THINK”

          I think this statement pretty much sums up your existence.

          • Replace “need to” with “know how to.”

          yourself

          • I don’t see any comments from Yahoo — hello 0311

        • 0311, f#$% you! you want to come and try to take my shit, bring it on, and let’s see what happens to your stupid ass! To everyone else, remember the troll posting as KY [NOT KY Mom] on that ‘shortages’ article back on the 8th? the same POS that gave me and some of you some grief? that’s who this latest troll reminds me of along with the guy in the video. let them try their stupid shit anywhere and they’ll get “ventilated”. braveheart

          • Bravehart you should freakin calm down. Your blood pressure must be through the roof. Who said Im comin to take your “shit”

            Your “shit” from what you say, is just that. Shit.

            I don’t want it. And I don’t do trailers.

            Near Memphis oyu have way more problems than me. Your about on par with the guy from Daytona. Go see what your hero Jimmy boy Rawles has to say about FL and TN.

            • 0311, well, at least you have some sense on one thing. there’s a whole city of gangbangers that would love to have you to play with. Plus, I’ve got a BOL I can go to when it’s time to go so my problems go way down.

        • Blaa bla blwww bla waaa

          Your going to be real busy, especially since we are all wayyyyy spread out all over the country and some in other countries!

          But hey,

          You can try!

          • I’M concentrated on my area…don’t really care where YOU are, unless it is in our way.

            • I think ill be the least of your worries in a SHTF event,
              Karma is a bitch

      20. In a typical setting, defenders of a building have a 4 to 1 advantage. Even a group attacking preppers would take some heavy casualties. Just one person? I like my family’s odds.

      21. And of course, the question becomes, how will he know where there are preppers? He’ll have to break into random buildings. Some people will be armed. I expect half of households to have guns. Maybe 5% to have food. Most likely the guy won’t survive the first DAY.

        • Barn Cat-
          The preppers will be the ones still home when all others have left. Simple really. Who is going to be in a house 3 weeks after, other than someone who has something we need and want?

          You see? People here like you just are NOT that smart.

          • Just like Katrina? Ha.worked well for them in New Orleans

            • ILMOM- Sure. Thats right. So there go your preps in 2 seconds if that happens. You all think yu are safe with all you have? Your not. You are ONE step ahead but not even two.

          • Sorry buddy, but I could be right under your nose and you’d never know it. You wouldn’t be able to tell if I was home or not…people bitch at me NOW, because they can’t tell if I’m home or not, from the outside.

            Just imagine if people like me were actually INTENDING to hide?

      22. Who will volunteer to take my stuff? Are you willing to deal with the consequences? Do you feel lucky?

        • Jim In VA-

          the people that THINK they are completely invincible make the best, and easiest targets.

          • People who talk a big game tend not to have one.

            Live like a thief hang like a thief

            • Save yer rope, may need it for something worth while, use barbed wire for hangin.

              • KF…… Pretty funny….this guy is doomed from the start.

                Doesn’t seem to understand “no honor among thieves”

                They will self destruct only question is. When.

                • Best to ignore the puss…hes just going after everybody trying to get a rise outta em…he does sound like one of the earlier retards who used to annoy everyone here…take your pick of which….

                  • Like they say,
                    Dont feed the trolls!

          • Armchair quarterback. Useless. Producer of nothing. Lazy. Bitch slapped. Over. And over. And over. Low self esteem. Lazy. Probable threat. Watched. Lazy.

            Lazier than lazy. Atlas Shrugged ringing any bells at all??? No, of course not basement boy.

            Fun to play with??? Not really. You have zero going for ya. You’re not even smart enough to tackle this 80’s redneck chick. I’m bored.

            I try not to call names but man, you are a serious pinhead!

            Good luck pal. You’re gonna need it!!!!!!!!

      23. Piece of shit,
        This is why you dont hesitate, ANYONE advances on your home you ventilate them.
        They can talk from 50′ or more, they dont listen and advance ventilate them,

        • KULAFARMER-
          No one wiht half a brain would ADVANCE on your home.

          If we thought you were stocked, we would watch and gather info and movements for a few days.

          When we came in ( if we decided to) you would not know until it was too late.

          Or maybe we would wait for YOU to come out, unless your “group” is planning on staying inside the rest of your lives.

          Keep prepping. For Us.

          • Fuck you 0311…you are nephilim trash and must be dealt with accordingly. You see, we all know the “you’s” exist and are trolling our world for your personal or fascist benefit. WE are more prepped than you exploiters think we are. We are Human and we will vanquish. Peace will come again some day and you won’t be a part of it.

            Just see how I act on a good day to someone trespassing, you will probably have the door hit you on your way out…if you are so lucky.

            • Madatchew — HA!

              0311 (Yahoo) should be so lucky as to
              not have a load of buckshot escort him
              out the door.

          • 0311 check your birth records I think you were a asshole baby

          • Good luck with that!
            Bwahahaha

          • 0311, I guess you’re just going to invisibly pass all the lookouts, cameras, silent alarms, razor wire, vicious dogs, and guns, and just walk right in our back doors. In my area, I believe you would be seriously outnumbered.

          • Have you ever heard of King Alfred? If not, let me educate you. He was the 9th century English king who successfully defeated the Vikings by organizing all the fighting men in the area into an effective fighting force and then devised a doctrine to effectively fight off the Vikings. It included observation posts to warn of incursions, per-positioned forces to respond and fortifications to deny the raiders the riches they were after.

            You and your fellow Mall Ninjas are going to be half-ass modern Vikings and after a few raids, you can bet the farm you will meet your own King Alfred and you will get what’s coming to you. You don’t have the monopoly on the use of deadly force, tactics, cunning and ruthlessness.

            So go ahead, raid to your hearts content but be ready to have a short life expectancy.

          • 0311,
            If you get past the concealed OP /LP you won’t even know what hit you till you hear the crack of the supersonic round penetrating your skull.

            You counter battery team also will have been located and ranged , your people will be caught on the X or in a fatal funnel that you have been drawn into by the Terrain’s natural lines of drift.

            You see the defenders have the range cards and possible approaches already set up for accurate lanes of fire.
            .
            Or as an option you will be taken out in the night by a vigilant over watch team using NOD’s unseen by your teams.

            The defenders of a well prepared position have the odds 3 to 1 in their favor.

            And if you manage to breach the defensive perimeter the QRF will mop up what’s left of your team.

            EXPECT NO MERCY

            Semper Fi 8541

            • 3 to 1 is pretty generous odds. That is what I was taught (Canadian army doctrine) was the minimum ratio for a single line of defence, never mind prepared obstacles, defences in depth and hardened fighting positions.

              But you are damn right. Accurate range cards will turn the ground around your location into a killing field, especially if you do place some booby traps ( even something as crude as 6 inch nails through a piece of plywood) in the most likely (and alternate) lines of approach.

            • 0311
              If that’s your mos I would expect more from a MARINE INFANTRY RIFLEMAN.

              People 360 around you? Get it?

              Good luck.

          • 0311, If YOU were out of food and water, don’t you mean “THE REST OF YOUR LIVES”? Who’s gonna be able to wait out who? A starving bunch o’ thieves, outside crouching under a rock, or a well fed group inside, out of the weather?

            LOL. If you’re what we need to protect against, We’ll be just fine.

      24. Fools paradise
        Opsec constrains me from saying anymore

      25. I have for years burnt all paper and cardboard and took recyclables to the drop off. It is 35.00 a month for trash pickup so that alone has had a large bearing on things with us. much of the food waste ends up in the garden so there is only few occasions were I have to get rid of something and when I do I take it to other friends house on there trash day. I had Identity theft years back that caused us to safe guard our self’s. Same as there are predators the predators could become the victims with a set up of sort. The police here use a few local construction company’s trucks loaded with tools in a mostly black area to target shitbags and it works every time. A guy That I use to do work for on his rentals set up some thugs that way by leaving the tools in the rental and waiting for the crooks and it worked only he did not call the police and neither did the dead thugs. Paper said two dead in gang related shooting. So my point is even ex milatary or whom ever think some one is a easy target they could end up the target them selfs . I have made concessions to house a few prisoners in the case of shtf. This is something no one talks about but needs to be considered. Thinking you will kill everyone is quite foolish and wrong. Some might have to be kept to get info out to save you and yours. A quite room can be important to keep the prisoner or prisoners from alerting others and it provides a sense of helplessness in there mind. So the ones who come here looking to steal or loot will be welcomed. We are like motel 6 ( We will leave a light on for you).

        • Never thought of this… I will add it to my list… I have a conex in the forest that would do nicly… thanks for the post.

        • Real good point, but around here there wont be many bad eggs for long. So i dont really care what they have to say, in the compost heap!

        • A contractor around here painted all his tools pink. No thefts after that.

          Also it might help to keep a worm bin to digest paper and other things that decompose easily. Things aren’t at all recognizable after they pass through a good crawler. Plus they reproduce and make good bait.

        • Law enforcement has been pawing through people’s trash for years. This is nothin’ new. I have a bin where I keep cardboard and paper—never know when I’ll need some tinder.

          Here’s a thought that’s in line with the “big doggie door” joke— If you rummaged through some trash and found a dozen AR’s 1000’s of rounds of ammo and provisions for 10, ARE YOU GONNA BE THE FIRST IN THE DOOR? HINT: This answer will decide your total IQ…

          • Note for nit-pickers: If you found empty boxes for…a dozen AR’s 1000′s of rounds of ammo and provisions for 10.

        • I mentioned that a couple weeks ago here, was told that I was demented. I do think that some people have really limited their planning. You may say that I don’t have the extra food for them, well, whatever.

      26. Even good people will do evil in defense of others. The man watching his children starving to death before his eyes is going to be inclined to do whatever it takes to keep them alive, to keep them healthy and safe. Once desperation sets in, the straight and narrow becomes a very hard path to walk.

        It’s easy to say “They should have prepped.” And I agree all but the most egregious circumstances should see every family with some preparations for disaster.

        But what about those of us who do and for one reason or another have it all taken away.

        A fire, overwhelming or surprise forces, turn coats, a debilitating illness that leaves us open and unprotected, there are a myriad of reasons that any of us might find themselves in a collapse with nothing.

        And watching the ones we’re beholden to protect with the very last breath of life die a slow agonizing death because we have nothing to give them can make anyone lose their sense of right and wrong.

        It’s easy to armchair disaster actions, and very hard to do what’s right or even know what’s right when you come under the gun.

        I only hope that none of us ever have to be in that position and that if we do, we do not make choices for which we’ll be ashamed and judged by later on.

        Do what you can when you can and remember when the shit hits the fan and those around stumble and fall, bereft on all sides by ill luck, there but for the grace of God go us.

        • HAW,
          This is why I keep old preps in a special cupboard open and in view.
          If someone comes and asks nicely, they get a couple cans of outdated veggies and some eggs from the hens.
          If they bitch, I will tell them “FEMA camp is that way. We don’t have much left, if its good enough for me, its good enough for thee, now, don’t let me see you in my yard again. Or else”.

          If the Shtf, we will have patrols, the roads will be blocked by felled trees at both ends, and OP guards posted w/cb radios.

          If the gov comes, Sun Tzu says the battle always won, is the battle not fought… we will fade into the forest. When provoked, or it is certain that battle cannot be avoided, shoot first, aim small, shoot small, 1 man 1 bullet.

          • I’m not going to open the door for anybody. Not unless I’m expect them or I hear God’s voice in my mind telling me to let them in. People could shoot you the second you open the door. I’m not taking those kinds of chances.

          • I hear you brother! The Art of War is what I live by.

        • You make a good point, but it is one thing to be desperate.

          It is something else to prey on those better and wiser than yourself

        • ***It’s easy to say “They should have prepped.”

          Every time someone uses this argument to prove how civil we are, I ALWAYS refer to the Bible.
          ‘And the Lord shut him in.’
          Now, for you scholars..who shut who in?? Who warned and warned and didn’t give a hoot about mankind when He shut that door??
          HMM????
          Warnings are all over the place, folks. This message isn’t exclusive to just me, is it?? 😉

        • A fire, overwhelming or surprise forces, turn coats, a debilitating illness that leaves us open and unprotected, there are a myriad of reasons that any of us might find themselves in a collapse with nothing

          THAT is not the topic. We are discussing the warnings to get ready for a collapse.
          The situation you give does give us opportunity as a community to help if that situation is now, present, before a collapse–not so much the same thing when it’s world wide, though.
          If those bad things destroy my preps, then I feel I am not for this world much longer, and He is calling me home; after all, it is His plan, not mine.

        • there will be those you” must” take in but if they fall fallow, they are fertilizer (sp) and the dogs are, You’re BEST FRIEND, be nice but know whom are weak ,they are those whom watch at night but are gone at daybreak . other probs pressing be back later ack

        • I keep extra stashed to help the poor and widowed as best I can.

          • As do I, dave in Id. And one is more likely to get some of it by asking, rather than demanding. I never did cave in to bullies, no matter how big.

      27. His Arms Wide-

        You are exactly right and seem to be only one here who has his head on straight.

        Good luck and don’t worry. You’ll do ok.

      28. Preps? What preps? I’m just fat little nana-lady that lives in an old single-wide….nothing here to see…move along….

      29. yeah good luck with that ya’ dumb cheap lazy fuck vets .

        most preppers are ex mil vets / law enforcement themselves or trained by them or belong to a group with some in it .

        you wont last long when a post collapse ‘Prepper Possee’ of pissed of preppers join together to hunt track you down and kill you .

        .300 winmag is a great equalizer against ex mil thieves and thugs .

        REACH OUT AND EXTERMINATE THEM .300 WINMAG .

        GET SOME ;0p

        N.O. ;0P

      30. It’s a given in a post SHTF scenario that folks will steal and kill to get a meal. Why should anyone be surprised by this video? But should you really FEAR this kind of animal? A few of the comments ahead of me already mentioned these guys will “take casualties” and they’re absolutely right. How many doors can you kick in until you take some buckshot to the face? These guys will eventually self-eliminate.
        I still figure the most violent time post-SHTF is the first month or so. Your average Joe “Raider” has a gun and a box of shells and he’ll burn through that box of ammo pretty quick. And when the ammo disappears, their gun, whatever is, is no better than a stick. Lie low… disappear if you can. And let Darwin do his work.

        Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth. Right?

        Mal

        • Those who follow Christ and are meek before God shall inherit the earth. Just being meek has no reward.

          • Barn Cat — agree with that

            If David would have stood meek before Goliath,
            he would have been squashed like a bug.

            • There’s no such thing as a meek archangel either…just saying.

      31. It’s a preppers duty to know everything about their property and layout. Know ALL approaches. Even the ones you think are unusable. Unpowered power lines at night. Thorn bush hedges. Etc.

        The scum will consider it a challenge to overcome. The tougher the obstacle, the bigger the bragging rights later.

        MacArthur invaded Inchon. The North Koreans thought it well defended and difficult to approach with strong tides.

        In fact, you should be able to channel enemies into prepared traps. Think like an enemy and check all approaches to your home. See it from their side.

        • I’ve been wondering about the sheep eating plant as a defensive hedge. It is the puya chilensis plant. It has sharp hooked spines that entangle animals. They can’t get loose and they die and decay, fertilizing the plant. I hate the idea of impaling stray animals but it intrigues me as a possible way to repel human invaders.

          • Just use concertina wire, that is an invasive plant that will soon take over. You’ll work to death getting it out of where it’s not needed.

      32. This is why I also stock strong shovels. Bodies be stinkin’ quick depending on time of year.

      33. Just because some military guys would use there expertise in strategy and tactics to hit preppers and take there stores doesn’t mean that it will work for them. There are tons of ex-military soldiers out here that wouldn’t do that and could help train those that weren’t in the military. Go read Mao Tse Tung or guerrilla warfare books and put them into practice. A real prepper wont just buy beans bullets and bandaids they will also train and take courses to become familiar with tactics and strategy that works for them.

        • What they don’t get is some of the supplies folks have may be “special”….you know enhanced with something a little extra…just for them there raider types… 😉

          This is another reason to spread your supplies around a bit too…if they get your stuff and you survive you aint busted… 🙂

          • That’s a reason I advocate keeping 2 stashes of preps in you location. You have your primary, long-term stash that is well-hidden and you also have a smaller stash of very basic but ok preps that aren’t hidden too well but not too obvious either. Something you can hand over under duress without compromising your primary stores.

            So basically, a throw wallet for your preps.

            Just make sure it isn’t a nice convenient number of meals/serving/cans etc in there. Make sure to consume some of it so it does look like your main stash.

            Oh, and it goes without saying – if there is an aid station in your neck of the woods, make use of it if it won’t compromise you. Not only could it stretch out your stores it can also help you hide in plain sight. “Me? Being an evil food hoarding prepper? If I were would I stand in line here for barely enough food to keep my family from starving?”

      34. those who talk shit the most, die the quickest

      35. OPSEC is one of the most important things you can do right now. As Selco stated in his post and in his online school (which I ordered and it is very good and will give some insight on how things are really going to go), it will not be like most people think. For everything the show “Jericho” got wrong… one thing they got right is the town of Newburg attacking them for food, the “Blackwood” company preying on towns. If you are not training for this now and building teams it will be a long haul for you. Get to know your neighbors so you know who is good and who to avoid (or later have to “deal with” later). During Katrina, Sandy, Hurricane Elvis (Memphis), Mt. Pinatubo Philippines, and the fires in San Diego: I witnessed people at their best…. And worst. These were events in places where there was food and shelter for all that needed it. When people are pushed out of their norms their stress level goes up. Add to that an injured or deceased loved one and thirst or starvation and you will have Kosovo on your hands. The fact that there are people PLANNING to do harm to stay alive during a meltdown tells us two things. One … trouble is coming and even evil people know it and are planning, preparing, and forming teams. We should be doing the same. Two …. Evil people have one mine set … survive to the next encounter. We need to have a much longer range approach. Most people in America under the age of 40 have NO IDEA what hard times are. Couple that with how weak morally and spiritually this nation has become and you can see just how bad this could get. These evil people will prey upon the unprepared first then they will ATTEMPT to come for us. My team will be looking to were the thugs are and hit them were live and breed. (It is good to have a couple of local LEO’s on your team… its working for us). As I stated in the last post, you may have to turn your back on someone who is now your best friend but may become a burden or an enemy during a collapse. I do not talk about being prepared to ANYONE. I actually make jokes of people who claim to be “Prepers”. Some on my team actually role play with each other in a crowds of friends to this end to deflect any knowledge of how we really are or feel. With what is going on worldwide (wars and rumors of wars, economic woes, political upheaval, moral debasement, Godless societies, Out of control governments, Over policing of citizens, and so on … time is getting short.) Enjoy what you have NOW and hold your loved ones and team members close. PRAY, PREP, PLAN, FORM TEAMS. Stay safe…..

        • “Mt. Pinatubo Philippines”

          Subic Bay? Shoveling feet deep ash off of half collapsed buildings on the AF base right there?

          • Evacuating folks from base and the city… very sad… they are wonderfull people that got taken to the cleaners by the volcano….

            • Scary stuff, Mother nature ALWAYS wins,
              Prayers going out to all the good folks in PI

            • Amen brother. I was sent there too. remember it well.

              I’d never seen, nor imagined anything like it.

              Our ship(s) took on alot of the refugees while we were ashore. I dunno where they were taken tho.

              It’s too bad that my Phillipines experience was clouded by the volcano.

        • Your TEAM///like a few moronic LEOs. You guys talk about the LEOs on your team as if they are combat vets. Most cannot shoot straight, and Id LOVE to see them under fire.

          And…BTW…they are cut throat people who will turn on YOU first time needs be. They will look out for the other “LEOs” on your “team” and not worry about YOUR sorry ass.

          Good luck with your LEOs.

          • some are 35 year long freinds…. they will not turn…. they are Oath Keepers… if you don’t know don’t post. And our LEO’s shoot VERY straight and true…. as dose our Nurses, Doctor, mechanics,and such…. we are all training so we aare ready for what could come…..

            • Your never truly ready. If you have not had experience already from being overseas….good luck on your VERY rude awakening if what you all so wish for happens.

              • The common people in some of the most notable hell holes in history didn’t have “over seas training”, yet they took out lots of trained, military trained targets. That old idea that you have to be highly trained to be effective is bullshit. Iraq tore us up, and half of them can’t even read. You should stick to your GI Joe cartoons.

              • Been around the word 0311 and been shot at and did some shotin…

      36. The best way to survive is to keep moving. Those that stay in one place will become “sitting ducks.” Eventually, you will found. Staying in one place is possibly the worst thing you can do. Also, having a ton of gear will slow you down. Prepare to minimize, prioritize, and improvise.

        • How long until you become a looter, or die of exposure?

          • I can’t say. I’m willing to bet that everyone will have to “loot” at some point. It depends on how you see it. What I see are a bunch of self-absorbed hoarders, willing to be judge, jury and executioner on people because they might be in need of help. I’m only saying that staying in one place makes you a target. No matter where you dig your hole. If your in it for yourself your doomed.

            • PLISKEN…. you see CLEARLY. Isn’t it funny how THEY think?

              Good luck to you. Id hook you up with some eats that come from them if i knew ya.

              • 0311, why the f#$% don’t you do for yourself? What’s your f#$%in problem with that? being self-sufficient is the #1 principal in being a prepper. we are people from all walks of life who have worked, paid taxes into this evil system, and invested in preps with our own hard-earned money, NOT TAXPAYERS’ MONEY, DICKHEAD! You sound like a loser who can’t hold a job for even 1 week, have alcohol and/or drug issues, and just totally avoids responsibilities. I hope you don’t have a family. If I was your father, I would disown you. If I was your wife, I’d kick you out of the house and file for divorce. If I was one of your kids, I’d be ashamed to have someone like you for a father. yeah, that’s it, you must be a loser, like too many nonpreppers are these days. go ahead and try to take anyone’s supplies. somebody will be only too happy to ventilate you. braveheart

                • Geez Bravehart- ya got me pegged!

                  • Did you ever wonder why so many countries hate Americans?

                  • Oh, wow, you realize I exposed you for what you are? Elizabeth, i’m coming to join you, honey! this is the big one! [Fred Sanford]

        • Yes small cash of items in several places that are only accessible by foot or pack animal. Very few preps at my home. Ill burn my buildings if I have to bug out. The best Prep Is having Know How and Being self reliant. If you have that you could make it with nothing stark naked. If you have to shoot someone try to shoot them in the butt or gut. Both would likely be fatal ! The screaming wounded will unnerve the others. The First 60 days will be the hardest to survive.

          • Old guy,why burn your buildings if you leave?They could be shelter for decent folks on the move days/weeks/years later.I die hope someone utilizes whatever they can of mine if it helps them out,hell,as live in northeast and a cold winter,well,if truly needed,utilize my body like those folks did in the book Alive.As I am already a organ donor really doesn’t matter what you use my body for,unless you kill me to eat me,then hope you get permanent indigestion!

            • Warchild—because HE is self centered. Why else would you deny someone shelter.
              These are the types I would want to take from. And give to the less fortunate.

              • The thinking error here, is that it’s not up to you or anyone else to decide who “deserves” to keep the stuff they saved up, that they paid for. It’s up to them what they do with it, not us. Personally, I’d take a different pitch, but that’s just me.

            • If I leave that means things are so bad Ill never be able to return. Just as well burn everything If I don’t someone else probably will. If I burn it Ill know for shure its gone and wont be tempted to return. Decent Folks? Anyone who would trespass and take or use what isn’t theirs isn’t Decent .My life is pretty much over It wouldn’t be a great loss if I perish. My preps are for my grandchildren. I would like them to survive and carry on our family DNA. If 90% perish I want mine to be part of the 10% that survive.

              • But youre talking logic and common sense!….people like Obama and 0311 don’t operate in that arena…they work on emotion and lathering people into a jealous frenzy to the point of inspiring them to kill innocent people to steal their stuff…the dustheap of history is littered with their idols,mao/stalin/polpot/hitler/marx and so on…by the way your DNA sounds like it has a decent chance of being in the 10%

          • I too have a cache near home in case we have to leave with the clothes on our backs and every twenty miles along the rail trail to our secluded retreat where a one-year supply is buried in a 4x4x8 water resistant box sitting on a gravel bed for drainage.

            I know I’ve been saying this for over a year, but I minister to inmates who expect to get early release so are mapping Ham radio, concealed carry, and other suspected preppers so have taken great pains to stay invisible including putting my retreat in the name of a trust. I’m even using the wifi of a neighborhood bar and someone else’s email address to post this.

            • Now that’s OPSEC, but you just gave enough info to triangulate your general position, if a person had some means and desire.

              You live near a RR track and it is along that track your BOL sits. You live within driving distance of a prison and there is a bar within wifi reach of you. The biggest giveaway is the email. Once one gets the locale of the email, whether it’s your or not, there is a friend to watch. It would be only a matter of time. With the NSA advantage of being able to access all the digital data of the email, including the IP address, you might want to reconsider OPSEC.

              I, of course, assume that nothing in your comment is true, just posted for info purposes, but what if it was true?

              • The NSA technology already knows everything about us. except what we have (unless registered) and where we keep it. There is no more OPSEC except the locations of your provisions.

        • I have a year’s supply of food. 1,500 gallons of water and thousands of canned goods aren’t portable. I’m safest in my current location. I know the area. I can defend my home. Running around just to run around will get you killed. Eventually you’ll run into someone dangerous. All it takes is for them to see you before you see them. And no, I’m not sleeping outside in the open. That would be crazy if you don’t have to do it.

        • We humans have evolved into dwelling based creatures. I do not think there is enough game in ANY country for humans to live off the land. Maybe some far off islands.

          Sure. 120 years ago you could travel cross country and live off what you hunted. After the collapse and die off, the wildlife will take decades to rebuild.

          Our current population survives upon the mass growing techniques of the corporations. When the economy collapses. The food production will dry up.

          Trying to live like a rat off the land means you will die like one.

          • Rats can survive anything and will probably be the last mammals on Earth.

          • Agree S. Dave, Reading the book ‘The Journals of Lewis & Clark’ ,they had about 40 some men as their support and they were constantly searching for food along the way. They had to kill like 3or4 deer ,a couple of buffalo and 2or 3 elk ,every day just to survive!!And when they got to the N.W. they lived off dogmeat. (which Lewis became very fond of )So if the worst was to happen, it wouldn’t take long to decimate the game!! PS; they really gave alot of trade goods to the indians to get what they needed and one of the items was RICIN !! (no, not really) ……mm PPS;ALL PREPPERS should read this book by JOHN BAKELESS …..~

        • I disagree, it truly depends on what sort of disaster happens. Most of us are intelligent enough to listen to our gut and leave when necessary. Every nomadic culture always had supplies in reference to you comment about being hoarders. Me having extra food has saved my butt more then once, buying in bulk and not running out of stuff has saved me a very large amount of money. I did not do all the work, spend the time and money to have it stolen. People also think I’m nuts, we’ll see who lasts longest.

      37. These guys are living in a dream world….Snipers rule…with infra-red, snipers rule the night too. Perimeters are established alarmed and enforced with teams. motion sensors will tell me where you are and we will reach out and touch you. then we will hang you on a post for all to see what the consequences of attempting an attack are….Good luck, your gonna’ need it.

        • Exactly.

        • Ever Vigilant-

          that works BOTH ways.

          You are not the only one with toys.

          Ours are better. In fact, you can’t GET better.
          In fact—- YOU can’t get what WE have period.

          • You would be surprised 0311 what we can get….. many on these folks on teams are military and yes they will raid the armory for their team. Good always wins over Evil when God is on their side. I feel sorry for you because if your group will turn on innocent people you will later turn on yourselves. Most of us on the other hand will not…… the afghans’ had no high tech weapons and they made life miserable for the Russians and The U.S. It does not take toys… it takes team work. And you would be amazed on how easy it is to shoot people from a Cessna 172 or 208 with an infrared scope on s FAL308 at night. My “IDOIT LEO” and I have practiced this and at 62KIAS with a 15 MPH head wind we were shocked on how effective this is…. oh ya… we have several pilots on our team including me… You thugs did not see that coming .. did ya…. Nothing like a thermite bomb chucked out the window of the 208 on YOUR home in the middle of a dark night to get YOUR attention… and yes we can turn off those flashy light things…. makes it harder for you to shoot back…. And it would only be fare if ya did… so our ground team can find ya quicker…. Ya did not think of that either….. be careful because if folks are in range so are you. Vasili Zaytsev between October 1942 and January 1943 made an estimated 400 kills, some of which were over 1000 meters using a Mosin–Nagant rifle. The Germans and “better fire power” and training… but Vasili was deffending his team and his country (Home).

          • 0311 = obummer government troll. So do you feel untouchable taking orders from inbred commies that will kill you the second you stop being useful to them? Or maybe shooting at those pregnant women and children targets are making you feel more confident than you really are. Either way, we’ll lose some and you’ll lose some. I’m sure theer bunkers don’t have enough room for all you zombies and your families. Guess what, atleast we will be able to defend ourselves; your family will be at home alone getting pillaged by preppers and zombies. Rant off

            Whats up Braveheart, just got back from your beautiful state of TN. Wish I could have stayed longer. Good people there and they honor IN carry permit.

            • Howdy, Indy Colts. Glad you enjoyed your trip. Just having numerous exchanges with the newest troll. Yes, we have better people here than the east coast or west coast. BTW, I’ve been in IN before. Good people there also. better than IL. braveheart

          • How do you know?
            Just a thought,
            Its amazing what you can get when you know the right people and have enough money!
            Feelin lucky?

          • I suppose you have an aircraft carrier, or a stealth bomber, or an atom bomb. Anything else, I believe we can “obtain” or make for ourselves, if we don’t have it already.

            • YEP and we are smart little basterds to…. we know how to combine the simplest things to defend ourselves…. we don’t need toys. Just some good gear and brains. If Iran can take control of a drone so can anyone in america. You can make your own denile weapon out of 2 microwave ovens and some surplus wave guide. Our teams have engineers, farmers, doctors, pilots, cops, fireman, moms, cooks, welders, and so on…. teamwork wins… THUGS Loose.

          • uh oh EV…better shake in your overalls all you preppers…hes now become a we’s and a much more prepared weez than any of us are…all kinds of stuff heweez has got that usweez cant get…. fearful yet???…NAWWW!

            • Oh and 0311…anything you got we can get…specially if you come sneakin round here uninvited…

              • Awesome REB and true…. we can get anything the other guy has and use it with more effect…. we are deffending our homes…..

      38. Well, for now these guys exist in our minds. The pictures of the tatted scrotes is for effect of the vid. HOWEVER…. these groups will most likely materialize during a grid down, shtf scenario. The speaker does make some good points as this video is to give you a heads up on what can occur. More than likely when the ball drops, they’ll be some that move out in the country to easy marks and away from urban competition. But the biggest threat you might have to deal with is the nice neighbor right down the road if he gets hungry and desperate. (hell for that matter don’t blink when family shows up.)Even now out in the country where I’m at I pack a gun in one fashion or another while tending the garden or feeding the chickens. I’ve done this for years now. It says in the scripture that, “The devil goes about like a roaring lion seeking whom it may devour”. I ain’t lookin’ to be no snack.

        • PO’d, I’m personally much more afraid of the “nice neighbor” than I am the usual attacker…for the neighbor, I would hesitate…for the attacker, I’d have no pity.

          • Those high fructose corn syrup zombies are going to be a hassle for sure .

            What america has done around the world for the last two centuries. It will do to itself as things unravel.

        • thats just it, most country folks are NOT a easy hit. They are ALL armed.

      39. Let them come. I will destroy them. They will be quartered and their heads will decorate my fence line. Attack me and mine be prepared to give up your life. Nuff said.

      40. OK, your little band of merry men is going to try and loot some homes. Here, you’re going to have to get around the roadblocks at the terrain bottlenecks 3 or 4 miles from our towns in the valley. That means you’ll be on foot in a guarded and patrolled area. Not a good idea. Take on a few places, you’ll get something, but your game is not going to be worth the candle, just what you can carry while evading the reaction units hunting you down.

        We’ll take care of the town as we go along, but you’re not getting in here except to a kill zone. Refugees are one thing, predators are another.

        • It can’t be stated more concisely “Refugees are one thing, predators are another.”

      41. Great. I could use some free military gear.

      42. Here’s my plan Try it on your regular home is a mini fort but it sits in front of many acres of woods that you own in the back When you have to fall back you just go into the woods to your secondary fort most people have no idea how to negotiate or fight in a heavy wooded area you know the land your on the hill- let them try and take you and watch there numbers shrink as your family blasts them from behind beech and under oak!

        • Geo-Lithic-
          How are you at fighting in a heavily wooded area that is ABLAZE?

          see how easy that is?

          • Most looters don’t carry a flame thrower, and actually, starting a big enough fire to matter, takes something most looters don’t have a lot of—TIME.

            • Sixpack…. ole 0311 just shows how stupid and untrained he is with each and every post. Imagine the look on their faces when they come to the woods and the firefight begins. Then from a flank out of a thicket or out building comes the ole John Deer, Case, Bobcat, or Cat that we have welded extra panels on and now they are fighting a pissed off well trained family defending their home and a couple of homemade tanks. One guy in a Midwestern town used an old D8 and terrorized it for hours until the Cat stopped working. It just takes planning, training and imagination. An up armored city bus is a force to be reckoned with. Mad Max was not far off. All a bearcat is …. A f550 with some extra steal. Just build one of those Tornado Intercept Vehicles (TIV) with gun ports.

      43. A good deterrent would be a pool of blood on your front porch where an intruder was met with deadly force.

        • you could hang an ear from the door bell…wind chimes anyone?

      44. I’ve heard a couple people I know make the same claim about taking something from someone else and you know what I told him; YOU TOO WILL TASTE THE EDGE OF MY SWORD OR CHEW ON ONE OF THESE HOLLOW POINTS.

        Lazy cocksuckers!

      45. Thank you for the valuble information Slavo.

      47. I watch the sanitation employees lots of mornings.
        Hey, they don’t even touch my trash.
        The truck lever just lifts the rubber waste receptacle , pours into the truck, and sets it back down.

        • JAY JAY- Exactly. they make is sound like the garbage men are looking into every barrel they dump, all day, every day.

          • my trash now goes into a multi-family dumpster…key is, don’t throw away anything with your name or unit number in the thrash along with your MRE boxes…

            • We haul all of our trash to the dump or burn it … no one gets OPSEC from us this way.

        • Yep, they just pick up the tied black bags and throw them in the lift bucket.

          All my junk mail and cardboard boxes go in the fireplace, generally, there is nothing in my trash that will tie it to my address, and certainly nothing that will give any reason to wonder where it came from.

          Unless, of course, you are a stray cat and would like to find out where the dude with all the Fancy Feast cans is at.

          • you have a gray cat?

            • Black and white. Or white and black, get that mixed up.

              • just curious, thinking maybe your handle reflects your love for a pet…

        • JJ that’s cause when a true prepped person actually tosses something…there aint no further uses fer it 🙂

      48. You people are delusional. You cannot maintain perfect OPSEC. If nothing else, while everyone else is starving and appear to be perfectly, those who are starving will put 2 and 2 together. Plus, the unprepared will likely far outnumber the prepared making it very likely the prepared will be overwhelmed by sheer numbers. That is why it is better to work to PREVENT shtf. Plus, you cannot lay in enough supplies to last for mare than a few months at that. Eventually, you will have to venture out of any stronghold you may have.

        • NC JOE- dont try to bring reason to idiots. Wont work. They are all badasses that cannot be overcome.

          • That’s the point I made earlier about you…you must be an okenyan supporter….that’s his MO accuse others of your sins and shortcomings…heck you almost make ncjoe look sane….youre right though…why bother….

          • 0311, go away and take ncjoe with you!

        • Its hurting me to say this (cause I think you’re a horses’ ass) but you got a key point.

          • I feel your pain, PoP, but he’s correct this time around, but for one thing, we cannot PREVENT shtf, only prepare for it’s occurance.

            We can, however, prevent it from happening on a local, microbasis, in our home, in our neighborhood, in our community, or at least reduce the effects.

          • Poed and Smokey…ya but hey…a stopped clock gets it right twiced a day…just cant trust or depend on it the other 23hrs and 58 seconds… 😉

        • NC Joe, first get out of NC. You aren’t wanted. Go to DC.

          Why do you say we cannot have supplies to last for more than a few months, when many of us here have over a year’s worth? I can stay on my property indefinitely, as can many others here.

          That is why a prepper needs to be part actor too.

          You see, in the morning you go get newspaper and then collapse on the yard just a few feet from the paper. Lay there for about 5 minutes and pretend you are finally coming-to. Then crawl and get paper. Crawl back to the front door.

          Once inside, go ahead and finish your breakfast….

          • ROFLMAO!

            • Maybe go out and take a bite out of your paper, like you think it’s a burrito.

              • Bohahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

        • you can only starve for so long, before you don’t have enough strength to attack anyone.

        • Have you ever seen a starving person fight. They kinda suck at it. Most of us will wait out the first weeks if it gets that bad. Then when the golden hord tries to walk to the rural areas…. well not so good. No water, no sanitation, no food. Is this cold hearted. well ….yes. But while they bought flat screens and new BMW’s and used thier EBT cards to buy lobster. We worked two jobs, payed off dept and preped. It is the story of the and and the grasshopper…. only the ant this time owns several .308’s. Read Selco’s blog and take his cource… then you will get a clue… you lay low, kill only when you have to, and when you do you don’t hesitate.

      49. One ole Ky. senior citizen observation, please.

        Now, after the SHHTF, does anyone in their right mind think they can do what this dude talks about without a gun or several pointed in their face??
        ‘IF’ they are lucky, the gun is pointed.

            Went something like this…..

            There will be no warning shot.

            • And… “if you can read this, your in range..”

          • If your waiting for them to come up to the steps and knock and your not already moving outside positioning to get behind them, within an hour you’ll be dead and they’ll be gathering up your kit. The only thing that might stump them for a minute is which shovel of the six you have they might wanna take too.

        This scumbag presupposes that nobody to whom he is personally known is prepared to give him a “good talking to” at the first confirmed sign of SHTF. Big mistake.

      53. everyone needs to watch the TV series JERICHO

        its far from perfect
        but it does give a general idea of how things may go down
        in a total collapse situation

        one thing we know for sure

        EVERY area will be different

        one thing I know for sure

        • @ Santori…I dont watch TV, garbage service, newspaper or a mailbox, and I dont know who miley cypres is or lady gaga. I read free republic for news and the weather bug for the forcast which is always wrong. I lost my cell phone in the garage or at my hay field. Cant say I miss it. I can rent a movie as I did about 6 months ago. The Book Of Eli. I dont think I am missing anything.

          • Dave-
            SOunds about right to me. With your ducks in that row, expect family and friends to visit. May want to invest in mattresses for those you like.

          • dave in Id,

            The Jericho series is available to watch for free on Netflix.

            It does bring up a lot of the situations we would face when the SHTF.

        DEBKAfile August 27, 2013, 6:41 PM (GMT+02:00)

        The Emergency Situations Ministry’s Ilyushin-76 jet landed at Latakia airport with 20 tons of humanitarian aid and was set to return to Russia with 180 Russians who had expressed a desire to leave Syria. Moscow said all its defense personnel were evacuated from Syria in June. But a foreign ministry spokesman said at the time that about 30,000 other Russians were still living across the country.

            • Thanx Watchman..

              Let us hope..haha..that this massive buildup is a check..and not a check mate, in this global game of threats and military posturing..

              It appears that the red line had been drawn by OB and his regime…and now his bluff has been called..

              Meanwhile at home,dozens upon dozens of red lines and threats have been levied upon “prepared Americans” for years now…

              Now we have internal threats within the rank and file of preppers and survivalists..so be it!

              At least we have been forewarned…

              possee

        • @ Watchman…..If their SHIPS are made anything like their HOUSE-SHOES ,they’ll FALL APART when out to SEA !!!……mm

      57. I like to look @ all the angles & approach’s day & night, winter, summer, & fall for those having seasons.

      58. Um…. well duh isn’t that pretty much everyone’s plan who isn’t a prepper? To go after someone else’s stuff when the SHTF is called looting. Hell I have a coworker who said the exact same thing and he isn’t ex military. Bottom line is if you can create a community of prepared people that’s in your close proximity (neighborhood) you have a better chance then being a secretive hoarder.

        Good luck everyone, wake up the masses to preparedness and we won’t have anything to worry about.

        Survival is a mindset.

        • Well there’s the hints we’ve been hoping to never hear.

        • Damn near unbelievable! Damn near…
          I think I live in the Twilight Zone

      59. I’ve had the idea that I would set up a string of cash sites around my general AO, and also set up several
        concealed firing positions above and around my retreat
        area.

        maybe some trip wire noise makers or something like that

        Then just plan on spending nights in these
        firing positions,

        If roving gangs are about I may be guarding an empty house from my firing positions full time,
        basically living in the woods full time.

        I’m not sure what else I
        can do, as its just me and the little woman.

        I’ve got to give this more thought
        and prep in this area.

        • Look hard at your surroundings, maybe a few square miles. What are the entry points, the choke points, and how many people live there? Think about defending the area, not just your house (do that too).

        • Booby traps, wireless video cams, spikes, remote controlled nasties, escape tunnels, the possibilities are endless only limit is your imagination!

        • STEVE-
          Best thing if you need to go it alone with just your lady is to try to hide MOST of your stuff. If you can’t do that NOW, make preps to do it asap if shit happens.
          The best way to win the fight is to avoid it. If you can bury your stuff and YOURSELVES…….. wait till group passes and then come back out.

          It is very easy to make underground provisions like this for yourselves and your stuff…

          You want to protect your food first, then other valuables.

          You wont make it alone in a tree stand. Hide most and act like you are starving if you come in contact with anyone.

          Beg for food etc….

          I would feed you in a second if I came across you guys.

          • 0311 that is accualy a good idea… but be ready to instanly shoot if that plan (acting which can at times work) goes south. There is hope for you yet. Selco talks about this in his training.

        • Roving bands of shit wont be in the woods. They will be ransacking and looting. dont fire unless you have to (stay hidden) and you will be fine. By the way, hiding your stash away from home is smart thinking… cut some small timbers and dig some small hidden shelters now as to keep the noise down. bury 5 gal buckets with lids full of water so you dont have to go to the creek/pond often. You dont need fire to stay warm. dry your meat with a solar stove and use it at high noon to avoid the reflection acting as a signal mirror. Or just skip meat for awhile.

        • Steve… Also do some “soft” intel on your area. There may (and probably are) others of like mind…. try to have that conversation and form teams. This is how me and the misses got our team going and it is amazing how many people are now realizing that trouble is comming… you sir and your misses are in our prayers tonight.

        This is on johngaltfla dot com have looked a couple other places to see if any one else has reported on this.
        Can’t find anything, Have any of you see or heard this? Very scary if so.

      63. 0311 – Figured it out. 0+3+1+1=5. He is trying to tell us something. That is his IQ. What a sorry excuse for a human being. The only good thing about SHTF is I will get to shoot at people like you. Oh, the satisfaction. You are the biggest braggart ever to hit the internet but in reality only weigh 84 pounds with a tiny pecker and a mouth the size of a platter. Bite me bozo.

        • INfidel—
          YOU got me too… now you AND bravehart have me pegged!

        • 0311 is USMC Infantry.

          The Jarheads I know are all decent, grounded people. Sounds like one slipped through the system.

      64. How do you know that 0311 isn’t mathematically for:

        IQ = (0x3)(1×1)

        which is,

        IQ = (0)x(1)

        IQ = 0x1

        IQ = 0

      65. Nice tattoos, boy. Add to my collection… prolly make a good lampshade or two. But my dogs don’t like meat that smells like ink and shit after you lose your bowels.

      66. Most of you seem to underestimate a small group of rag-tag guerrilla fighters or traveling fighters. Of course I don’t condone stealing from other preppers, however, a lot of you joke about that you’ll stop anyone that tries to overtake your “Retreat”. However, that last thing you want to do is underestimate your adversaries, especially those starving and without supplies, their mindset is completely different than you would expect. They aren’t just going to bum rush you and let you mow them down. They are going to be calculated, and tactical by all means. A lot of the points the second video made, from the “monsters” perspective were very good OPSEC issues, and anyone can be fooled at least once, and all it takes is that one mistake to end your life, and your OPSEC. Take that into consideration before all of you assume that you can take on anyone…

        • K.
          You have to wonder what the first time readers are thinking. Good people waking up to their surroundings, having to realize what they may have to become or do in a world gone mad. Imagine a first time buyer of a firearm or one shooting 12 gage, 3.5 in. round and then having to shoot multiple rounds. Introduction to MRE’s and other survival food, then eat that for a couple of weeks. Cold, heat, darkness, food, bugs, medical, and much more that we think about. Then having to guard it from invaders. Takes one hell of a strong mind to coupe with it all to keep from going off the deep end. The single person might have the edge as he or she may have no immediate family. Those who have family have more issues involved. The question of, ” Have I done enough?”
          is always there in the back of your mind. Hell, it only takes one bullet and you can’t do nothing more. As many read here of fantastic new meals by Watchman and the canning and gardening by Daisy, it is surreal as we go from a constructive attitude to the destructive as if it was nothing. Also we go from helping others to killing them on sight. Then we have those who are self sufficient while others are trapped within cities without no bug out location. For defense it may be a 22 caliber pistol right up to a sub machine gun. (I know you’re out there). Whatever it may be. Keep prepping for something is better than nothing.

          Now to address the scumbag murderous invading thieves.

          You better change your ways, NOW!
          Don’t you think we have not had discussions about YOU.
          We know you will kill for what we have. We know you want to instill fear on those who already face hardship. Despicable! You chose a limited life span. Want to be an animal? Well, we can be an animal too. Let that sink in.
          Enough said.

          You can bet, my fellow preppers, a few will read that above paragraph.

          My fellow preppers, I have given much thought as to the mindset and what people do under stress. Intervals of one week, 30/60/90 days and six months. The die off to include those who will have medical and physical problems.
          Food, water, shelter, enviormental, sanitary and the unprepared.

          Remember what the door mouse said?

      67. excuse me, “traveling gangs”.

      68. This sounds better than a game of Dungeons and Dragons!

      69. I wouldn’t worry to much about ex military coming to take your stuff. The elite troops don’t need your stuff to survive. They can survive almost anything with nothing. Remember only about 1% of the population serves in the military.

        Now para military groups, gangs, wannabes all tell a good story but, never served a day in their life. I’m not saying there are no bad people in the military because there are.

        If the SHTF I would not need to take anything from anybody. I would be overwhelmed with people trying to give me stuff for the security I can provide. I can almost guarantee my friends and family that think I’m a little nutty will be the first at my door.

        Like Southernprepper1 says in his video. I would be careful of the garbage man and local government.

      70. Report: Assad is in Iran
        Lebanese newspaper says Bashar al-Assad and his family arrived in Tehran for talks on possible U.S. Strike.
        By Gil Ronen
        First Publish: 8/28/2013, 8:55 AM

        Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and members of his family are in Tehran, after they arrived at Homeini Airport in the presidential plane Tuesday night, sources in Iran’s foreign ministry told the website of Lebanese newsaper a-Nahar. The news did not receive confirmation from other official sources.
        Daily newspaper Israel Hayom, which cites the report, notes that a-Nahar is considered close to Hezbollah as well as to the leadership in Syria and Iran.
        According to the a-Nahar report, Assad was also accompanied by senior members of his government. They are to hold discussions with senior Iranians regarding the Syrian response to a possible U.S. strike on Syria, which is expected to take place soon.
        A senior official in the Syrian army warned the United States and its allies on Tuesday that waging a full-scale war on Syria would be reciprocated with an immediate attack on Tel Aviv.
        “If Damascus comes under attack, Tel Aviv will be targeted too and a full-scale war against Syria will actually issue a license for attacking Israel,” the Syrian army source told the Iranian Fars news agency.
        “Rest assured that if Syria is attacked, Israel will also be set on fire and such an attack will, in turn, engage Syria’s neighbors,” he added.
        The source also warned the U.S. and other Western states that if Syria grows weak, “certain irresponsible groups” will be formed which will endanger Israel’s security.

        Prepping Preacher III

        • Preacher, you should realize that in that situation suspiction, mistrust and wariness must be replace with a hail of bullets.

          Its a sad fact that there will be no time for forgiveness. I’ve come to the realization that good will and charity will be used against you.

          They’ll even train and use little children as scouts to get to you. Best be hidden completely for a time. Be very careful and very stingy with your goodwill and charity. That is what will get you killed the quickest. Do you think I can’t educate a 6 year old to come to your house, beg for food or shelter saying “all my family was killed by a gang”. You let them in, they figure out where everything is and sneak out in the middle of the night, back to their gang and get debriefed?

          Yeah. Its a sad situation, but the normal rules of Christian forgiveness and charity will actually be a weakness is not properly applied.

          Be careful.

      73. You have to consider this article to be of great importance because those type of people are out there.
        Motorcycle gangs, Crips, Bloods, MS13 all the way down to your neighbor. Sad Shit.
        To give you the edge you will have to have something outside the box that your intruder does not expect you to have. One that will strike caution or fear to make him or them withdraw. An Example is a crossbow, Silent, deadly and a simple injury, a stick coming out of your body, would make others in the grope think again. How about a bear trap. Maybe a outside speaker blaring some obnoxious music to destroy his concentration. Flare gun?
        A rule that after dark anybody outside your home dies.

      74. Why do some of you feel the need to end every post you make with your signature? Your well-thought out moniker is in bold letters for all to see at the top of your comments courtesy of Mac. Even if every comment you make is the best advice ever when you insist on ending each comment with your signature it indicates an underfed or overinflated ego. It’s irritating and unnecessary particularly if you’re posting multiple comments mainly related to a pissing match you’re in with someone with someone else’s alter ego. Am I wrong?

      77. Obama Administration To Release “Proof” Of Assad’s Culpability As Early As Thursday

        The U.S. Has Repeatedly Falsely Accused Others of Chemical and Biological Weapons Use

        http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2013-08-27/us-has-repeatedly-falsely-accused-others-chemical-and-biological-weapons-use

        the Obama administration has been caught lying SO MANY TIMES
        who is gonna believe a damn thing they say anyway ???????

      78. This person may be ex-military, but I can only guess at what branch they could of been in. Does he even state that he is American. And I would probably guess that if is and he was ex-military he was dishonorable discharged. This mentality and these kinda of punks don’t scare me at all, for they have no HONOR.I was an Army Ranger Vet in Nam and we were taught HONOR.I saw the type of soldiers that fit your mentality, and would have gladly killed them as easily as any gook if they weren’t Americans. I figured God would take care of them. There is no HONOR in taking from those that do not threaten you or have what you have not. When SHTF and you have not, because of your finances, then barter your needs. And If you’re ex-military then barter your services. Our Ranger motto was DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR, I’ll starve to death before I kill or take from someone who doesn’t deserve it…
        And as far as “chicken little” goes, You need to change your name to “chicken shit”. Your gonna kill Fed-Ex and UPS drivers,because of what they know? Are you kidding me? They’re everyday people like the rest of us. I ask you one thing, Have you ever even killed someone. Get real and get a life……….Killing people isn’t easy. It takes a few to get used to, but you never for get it and you live with it the rest of your life, even if its enemy soldiers….

        • Actually it was supposed to be a joke as the UPS and FedEx dudes are in our group. And yeah, you’re right, you don’t forget it, ever… I was 82nd myself… You must be a UPS driver…

          • Nope, but I have a nephew who is a Fed Ex.driver and he’s as much for the cause as any Patriot.

      79. Ahh, whats up DOC? Are you prepped for the coming disaster?

      80. Looking more & more like a US backed “false flag” in Syria to get WWIII started to me !

      81. I hope ya’ll know that some on here are trying to get a rise out of the regulars on this site. First rule of war is not to get emotional and strike in anger (or run in fear). Responding only emboldens them to continue.

        I know our part of the Shenandoah better than any google map or outlander. If you come here to collect supplies in a SHTF scenario, good luck. I have some ATN Thermal Imaging Scopes here for you… You’d be lucky to find our community, much less convince a group to invade someone this far back in the sticks. You gotta have people, training, food, water, and munitions in order to survive. Thank God, by God, we’re country!

      82. IME, those who beat their chest & bark, the loudest, are the weakest. Insecurity, daddy/mommy abandonment issues, ego-dependent, knuckle dragging gorillas, driven by fear. Reptile brains the lot of ’em. You can see them coming from a mile away. They don’t concern me one bit.

        All this talk about an economic collapse? IMHO it’s not only happened already, but a long time ago. A monetary system that by design continuously creates debt? Gee, that isn’t doomed from the start huh? So people won’t be able to have their shiny new whatevers produced by slave labor & will have to become self-sufficient. I say bring it. The altar of materialism must crumble if we are to evolve as a species.

        The only way I see a true SHTF scenario playing out is by an overwhelming, disastrous event: nuclear war, EMP, earthquakes, tsunamis, asteroids, pole shift etc. It’s pretty clear that at some point in early history such events did occur – all the archaelogical discoveries, ancient texts & mythologies point to this. And deep down, something tells me that a similar pattern has been happening for millions, if not billions of years. Will we as a species get it right this time? Those of us, if any, who rise from the ashes will hopefully have learned some valuable lessons. If not, I’m sure the cycle will repeat.

      83. on the second video segement on youtube, I literally went to the youtube page and watched it for myself. this is the comment from the one that posted the segment … “If people can not figure out this is a fictional piece or perhaps something simple like reading the description, then what hopes do we have they will survive a SHTF senario?” he mentions `basic military training’ , how far does the training go ? `basic’ or advanced ? he states that the group is `armed with light weapons’, what happens if one has more intense weapons than they do ? it also states, they `can develope and follow simple plans of attack’. Once again, this calls into question, what if a more diverse method of such instance were to occur ? what about more complicated plans ? This also calls into question, what exactly is the strategy over all ? even though what he states supposedly `is useful to them’, one flaw over all, is that the one in that segment underestimates their opposition.

      84. That’s a “survival plan”? Sounds like more of a suicide plan to me. Molon labe mother fucker

      85. these jerks better watch out or they will all be taken out in the middle of the night by three assassin ninja experts. you fools will be holding your testicles in your hands, my advice is get on he right side or be prepared to be removed, you freaking seditionists

      86. Put your garbage by someone else’s house…

      87. This clown wouldn’t last 10 minutes in my “Hood”.

      88. That’s soldier’s got a pretty smug attitude.

        Just remember, he will have to fight for every meal. He may take me, but there are thousands of me. Only one him. His reputation will fast be known. And he will only be able to travel safely alone. His own “squad” won’t have the ethics to stick together, but will view each other as they view the civilians.

        He may have great combat skills, but he needs a little humility. How many wars have gone the other way when armed civilians overcome the overconfident A**holes like him.

        Welcome to my home, Jim.

      89. C’mon down, Bubba. You’ll be dead soon after you trip the perimeter alarm.

      90. So what your saying is that MS 13 drugged out gang members are going to walk around in groups of 8. With light military weaponry? This is all? That you are going to fear? This video is not reality. Try the Russian and Chinese Military with full armament and our own coward alphabet gooberment thugs that are already acting out in public. The least to worry about is some tattooed junky from El Salvador. Who most likely will be headed back south across the border because he knows his chances are better down there than here. Not only that, to top it off, our chances as Americans might even be better down there too! We might actually want to tag along and get out of Dodge. America will be Dodge, Because of what I see here, our own government is turning on us and they are incorporating our very own military and cops against us. They are way too armed and way too prepared to fail at what they are proposing to do to us. I know that their intention the zionist is to kill off as many Christians and Anglos here in America so that they can go ahead and instill their demonic one world order. Our so called president is a muslim puppet placed their to bring death to us. This video sucks and is not realistic, you should not lie to people with lies like this and try and put fear in their hearts to not trust someone because they are of a different nationality. They might actually be the ones that can save you from a hard place. Zionist love division, this is one of their tactics, this video strikes me very similar to this. It is filled with innuendo and stereotype. Very disgusting and it’s not realistic.

      91. Booby trap perimeter, yes, with Israeli barb wire embedded in brush, come on in, I will meet up with you shortly if your not already passed on.

      92. After normal times and long before SHTF,
        the risk will be from huge well armed and reinforced NATIONAL GUARD coming out to “fairly” share preps to the hungry city folks. HIDING SOME supplies may be best tactic for this and other scenarios.

      93. I am a Marine, been trained at the real sniper school, 33 area.. mid 90’s.. The people that never served in the military and are preppers… MY FIRST RE-SUPPLY point. Those upper middle class BUSINESS OWNERS that have exploited the lower working class for 50years..

        There are thousands of US… WE HAVE HATED THE RICH KID and his DADDY forever.. He never served, and his dad never did either.

        Every small town has that few families. And every town has many more working class kids that DID serve and HATE the fact rich boy is STILL living better!

        Yeah, us military GUYS are coming for the coward(never served) prepper..

        AND, who will win, a group of marines, or some spoiled prepper wannabe’s

        • I was in the corps, 1983-87.
          I don’t have an envy complex against those who are more ambitious, in fact, I thank them for employing me in careers that enable me to avoid doing time in “the suck” (USMC).
          A poor man never gave me a job.
          What you call “exploitation” is a job & more people are now realizing that.

        • Be careful my jarhead bro, many Marines (like me) are
          preppers !

      94. I don’t get it ACE…Where’s the HONOR? Where’s your code of ethic’s? Because they had thing’s that we didn’t your gonna take them out. You need to visit the Oath Keepers website and re evaluate your oath that you took. All the Marines I knew had HONOR. I’m Army and had much respect for anyone who served, regardless of branch. We’re all brothers in arms and we served to protect all, the rich and poor alike. I know most of the people that your talking about are complete ass-wipes, but none the less they’re still civilians, and we to an oath to serve and to protect the constitution and the people.. CONCENTRATE ON THE REAL ENEMIES.. And besides, they’re probably not worth much as a re-supply point. They don’t prep, they don’t think things will ever change. You just gonna kill someone because they’re spoiled and rich? Are you part of the group that this video group?

        • Not Kill.. RE-Supply.

          and the D-bag rich are the ones that contributed and profited off the destruction of USA.

          they will get theirs..

          • Right on Bro !…..uuuuuuuRAH !

      95. There are also MANY ex soldiers that ARE NOW preppers . and others that plan to train others for the next revolution . Thats going to work both ways , the predators coming for preppers may find themselves the pray instead .

      96. This depends on your garbage pick-up. In my area trucks with claw wraps pull-up and mechanically dump the garbage and recycling cans. Never sees what’s inside.

      97. Beware of the “decoy” supplies of food, water and such.
        Stealing water- how do you know that (decoy) water is not laced with something boiling and tablets won’t get rid of that will kill you? That food (decoy) is not contaminated with a tasteless, odorless poison? All designed for those who will steal it, not knowing they have sealed their fates by such tactics.
        Some of us “prep” for “everything”.

        Best to leave some of us alone.

      98. What would be this parasite’s life span if he tried to survive on this tactic? a day, a week?
        I was in the Marines (1983-87), and if any effing leeches like this try to remove my provisions, they will be buzzard food.

        • SEMPER FI my Brother !

      99. That ex-military loser will last about 20 minutes!
        Keep in mind….there are about 30 million veterans
        in this country! I would shoot that bitch where he stands !

      100. Did you guys think of drones?

      101. I’m stumbling into knowledge the last few weeks of the full extent of the Patriot Act, NDAA 2012, and DHS accumulating 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition (enough ammo to supply the Iraq war during its heaviest fighting for 100 years.)

        And my question is (Agenda 21) won’t the same thing be happening simultaneously in other countries and not just the U.S.?
        180 nations have joined Agenda 21. Which ones haven’t?

      102. I read all the posts here today and have decided to throw in my 2 cents. 0311 you embarrass all of us marines. While it is probably true that some military(and ex-military) people will use their skills to exploit others, I believe the majority of us will use those same skills to eliminate the threat of people like you. People as a whole, world wide and for all times, have realized the need for a society, whether it be a village or large country. In any giving situation communities may have at first collapse but then they have re-emerged. Societies that have attempted anarchy have all failed. When/if a shtf scenario does hit anyone standing alone will perish as will the mad max wannabe’s. It may take a month or a year or ten but society will re-emerge as it always has in past. Being prepared only increases our odds of survival, however, we all know it does not guarantee it. The other idea of everyone blasting away at anyone walking up a drive way with a rifle, and mining and booby trapping half the country prolly not a good idea either. I know all to well what kind of toll that booby traps take. They kill and maim more innocent people and wildlife than they are worth. Long term Survival takes entire communities not small families.

        Give a man a fish and you feed him today,
        teach a man to fish and you may feed him a lifetime, who will teach others to fish, who will teach others…get the point?

        Please don’t just prepare for yourself. Prepare to aid in the rebuilding of your local community..

        Thanks for reading this long post good luck to all
