This is what is coming when the SHTF...

Make sure you keep the do-rags so you can collect the bounty from the quickly organized local militia.

 

I love a great heartwarming story like that!
Now, "IF" only a few of them boy's could get over here to Phoenix, and clean out a few of the derelicts that roam my areas at night, like so many "roches'...
They tag everything and create quite a few problems.....
Time for some:
"VERMINATION"

 

About 7 years ago I was visiting my sister up in the hills of North GA. One night the dog was going nuts, so I took a gander out the window and saw a couple figures going through the garden and heading out round back. My sister only had a bow, but my brother in laws brothers lived up the road...a quick call to them and there was a posse coming. Anyways, I took on the two and they had guns...ruger and browning handguns. I did the almighty worst, but only because of my past training and faced them...anyways, they were laying the guns down when harvey, one of the bros stuck out his, 54 cal double barrel kodiak muzzleloader. We nabbed them and held them at bay until the police arrived. Once all the hoopla was sorted, one of the officers asked the bad guys, why didn't you start shooting them? you had the weapons to do it. First guy said "I didn't want to die man" and the other said "they weren't easy targets"...If a criminal sees anything easy, he will take that route, especially if he is by himself. Now this doesn't mean if the idiot is high on drugs. Most criminals look for easy targets because it's a quick grab and go without no fuss. If they are in a group, then everyone is feeling big and mighty and will take their time doing what they do best.

 

Yeah, figure just like the gun free zones, the permits are only for the law abidein peacable folks.

 

What's even worse than the "sheep'.....?
The un-educated, and so-called, survivalists!

Man I have run the gamut lately, and what I have heard, read, and been witness to is an absolute insane asylum.

A lot of these newer survival sites. are direct "copy and paste", of many other originals....
Now, I'm an older guy, and have a few trial and errors under my belt.
But it just really irks me when some "youngster", and I mean less than 1/2 my age, proceeds to tell those that would dare lend an ear, about all the techniques and their survival experiences.
These people are either seriously mentally ill, or have a homocidal fringe to their ignorance.

Most of the gibbersish being spouted out there, is from some ex-military "kid", that saw something once, or, heard a story from another person, once upon a time.
Their pure ignorance or maybe even stupidity, is sure to get some folks killed.
They have less common sense than a pet rock.

But, it's NOT limited to just the younger generation and their x box games!

I've met some real winners recently here in Phoenix, that actually scared the heck out of me, and I don't scare easily.

These gentlemen should know better than to get themslves into a situation they have. They are equal to my age.

Lacking true leadership, is a sure sign of a problem, especially for a group.
Now, you have a bunch of guys thinking this one person is going to be their saviour.
Unfortunately, their "leader" hasn't got a clue, but he has them following his every word and whim like a bunch of lost puppies!

I decided to steer clear of these people.
The first sign, was a mandate for what each and every member of their group had to wear!
In the desert, I can see wearing certain colors and patterns, but NOT the 'camo' someone chose for these idiots!
Personally I think they'd been better off with either HOT PINK or maybe ELECTRIC BLUE!
"MOSSY OAK" 'Brush', is a dead giveaway you do NOT belong in the red/orange sand of the nothern desert
And, it went rapidly downhill from that point.
What really shook me, was this group was formed some time ago, then all at once this one person shows up and becomes their leader.
BEWARE of Those bearing gifts!!!
"They chose poorly"

On my little website, (a freebiee on msn), I am adamant about NOT believeing everything you hear or read, find out for yourselves....
I actually explain that NO ONE there has any degresss, are NOT experts in any given field, but they offer advice, based on their factual life experiences.
Not something plagarized from someone else, and not to be taken as an end all remedy to any given scenarion or situation.
There are hundreds and more likely, thousands of sites I suppose out there.
Most have some content that is worth paying attention to.....some are just goofy!
In the past couple of years I find that a LOT of those sites are there only because of the advertising they have. Understandable, as it's not cheap or easy to have a decent site with a lot of content. I have to pay an additional $19.99 a month for extra space, as I use a lot of photos.....
Some, I just don't know what they are trying to do, other than to fill their pockets with scare tactics....Gee sounds like our government at times!
It's good to have discussion forums like this where good people can meet and converse with each other and get a fell for what is happening in the world around them. A Few are so self-centered they only see the $$$ signs!
They will take advantage of anyone not street-smart enough to know what's what!

The really scary thing for me is, in "this dump" they (the type of things you see in that footage) are the ones with the guns here!!
Become a criminal,(yob) get a gun,(thrown in free of charge) and everybody leaves you alone.
If you are law-abiding..ya done!...even the tax man will hunt you down.

We have gotta watch out for pockets of these ANIMALS

 

Greetings Survival Monkeys from ARR

First of all, allow me to introduce myself, I am "Army Ranger Rick" F. Tscherne. I am making my rounds in visiting some interesting survival forums and came across yours by accident. And so I hope you don't mind if I stop by, say hello and spread the word about some new survival tips that I recently posted on my site. For instance these below..

TOPIC ................................................MY COMMENTS
Survival Kits - No, not the same ol'survival kit bs that other sites talk about, something different.

Survival Weapons - Some new type of survival weapons that anyone can make and use much more effectively than what you find on other survival sites or handbooks.

Fishing Kit Tips -What other sites fail or don't usually discuss or talk about.

S.A.R. Aircraft - What is rarely ever mentioned or discussed on other survival sites or handbooks.

Signaling for Help - Some new signaling techniques that I'm certain you've never seen nor heard of before that are quite effective.

Zips & Sparks - Just my opinion and what others may not know about zippo lighters, spark-lites and my four-finger-fire starter.

Staying-A-Float - Something small, compact, lightweight and can be easily carried in your pocket or packed in a small survival kit that'll keep you afloat in an emergency.

I don't know if I can list my URL here or not and so I'll just say if you are interested in any of these topic above to just google "The Ranger Digest.Com" or my name (Army Ranger Rick) and you'll find my site and these tips I talk about.

Well again, I hope you don't mind if I stopped by. And if I violated anything here I apologize and have no hard feelings if the moderator deletes this posting and sends me a "bad boy" email. But I promise you, if you go to my website and check out these new survival tips you won't be disappointed in what you'll see.

Well thanks for your time and allowing me to stop by, take care and God bless,

Sir I bookmarked you site a while back and have re-visited, nice, keep up the great contribution. I made a copy of your hang it around your neck kit, damn, just hope you didn't patent that, and the poncho liner trick was also copied, darn, this could get expensive......LOL.

I'm a psychologist, and I agree. It's an epidemic.

And if the time comes, with all of that gun waving and flashing around, it just takes 1 well-placed shot. At least I'll be able to hear them coming as they announce their presence by shooting into the air.

 

Pfft... 90% will wipe themselves out in the mass hysteria, prematurely blowing their loads (ie: looting when shit's STILL hitting the fan) and as prepper said... announcing their arrival in a non-tactical manner of loud music, yelling, and shos of firepower; there's a reason most gangbanging cockroaches don't finish school... Good riddance.

 

If the SHFT, they wouldnt last long.

 

It may become your job to help them along.

 

How long do you thing it will be before this happens? With Obama running. If he wins things will burn, if he gets capped things will burn. I live not to far outside KC. We're fully prepared for the thugs to come our way, and we know they will.

 

yeah rioting , wonderful. i live in memphis, tn. and anyone who knows about memphis, well enough said.


pray for peace, prepare for war.

 

Too true. And really isn't that what preppers and survivalists are preparing for more than anything. The business of finding food and shelter can be learned. It's the thought of having to deal with thugs like these that really concerns me...

And for shizzle 90% of people are completely unprepared for anything. I was having dinner with my folks this weekend and the topic of survival came up. Bit of an eye opener for me. When I was younger they had a really good emergency store set up - enough to feed a family of 5 for at least a month. So I was rather surprised to learn that they've let it slide and have nothing left.
They've also both been a bit, shall we say "concerned", about their little girl getting interested in guns. So imagine my surprise, when my Dad tells me this weekend that he's thinking about borrowing one of my Uncle's rifles and going out shooting with me. "Just in case. And oh by the way, your mother and I fully expect you to come stay with us if SHTF, and bring your guns and supplies with you!"
I was always planning on heading to their house anyway - bit more secure than a ground floor apartment But knowing that they're relying on me for their survival...definitely an eye opener. I'm not shy about telling people that I'm a prepper, so it makes me wonder, how many other friends/family I have whose "SHTF plan" is to show up on my doorstep...

It definitely raised an issue for me. I mean it's one thing to ward off looters. But how do you defend against people you know, when you don't have the supplies and/or desire to support them?
