Get Home Bag Challenge

FK – Mine is larger and does have a change of clothing because I travel hundreds of miles on my ‘commutes.’ Cotton and modern textiles will rot off or wear out after weeks or months in the outback. My goal would be not just covering ground but finding food and shelter on a regular basis because I’m not a spring chicken any more and wouldn’t expect to get home quickly unless I could ‘acquire’ a couple horses or mules.

My pack is a surplus army in multicam with a frame because I can’t afford the over-priced civy stuff and my back can’t take not having real support anymore. If things are ‘that bad’ you’d want to avoid major highways and built up areas anyway and hope you can stay hidden from over-zealous land owners. Remember, possums are your friends.

If things were ‘bad enough’ the focus might not be on ‘getting home’ so much as thinking globally and acting locally. I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination.

Hypothermic Patients – or how not to be one

FK – Cut my wet clothes off and I’ll be really pissed, especially if it’s that ridiculously overpriced cold/wet weather gear that I or someone else might need later.

Some of us aren’t rich and we can’t just go out and buy more on a whim. In a true ‘survival’ situation there might not be any more to buy. Don’t make me die twice. I’m not Hugh Glass.

Hypothermia can happen in 40-50 degree weather, especially if you’re wet. You haven’t been cold until your teeth are chattering uncontrollably, to the point it seems they could cut your tongue off if you stuck it between them.

Floyd Collins died from exposure years ago because of the weeks(or days accd. to Wikipedia but I don’t remember it that way) he spent trapped in a cave with others bringing him food and water.

I’ve seen people who travel for a living not even be smart enough to keep a sleeping bag or extra water in the vehicle.

And everyday street or work wear is not good enough:

FK – You absolutely do not want to wear cotton clothing in winter weather. You need things that will wick moisture away from your skin. There are modern materials and even ancient ones that are must haves for this time of year.

FK – Wool will allegedly keep you warm even when wet. I haven’t tested this. I’m told there are certain types of wool such as Merino wool that will not itch as badly as the ‘wooly pullys‘ they issued us in the Marine Corp. Those things feel like ants against bare skin. That’s why I prefer the more modern materials the military is issuing now a days.

Much of this gear can be bought at local military surplus stores. Do a search and see if there’s one near you. I usually go to Radcliff, KY near Fort Knox and Clarksville, TN., near Fort Campbell.

FK – Let the big cities burn. And please, please, please get some black patriots in there to show the rioters where the white “Liberal”(commie) trash lives so they can have some food after the 3 day supply runs out.

Then after 90 plus percent of the citiot “Liberal”(commie) trash is dead as it should be we bring out the backup units from the underground bases and restart our society and government as it should be.

Our Liberty is dying because of our failure to hunt the “Liberal”(commie) and globalist trash to extinction.

FK – As many others have said the Founders would’ve been shooting by now. They went to war over much less.

The modern preachers and church have been prostituted by the state. But then maybe it was meant to be that way from the beginning: Obey the magistrates appointed over you; pay your taxes to Caesar(though we have no Caesar here); sit on your ass and do nothing because it’s all been written down and there ain’t nothin’ you can do about it(I’ve heard that one many times, though not in those exact words); cause we’re all gonna get beamed up soon but send your children to the govt. schools so they can get good jobs and have good incomes until Jesus comes; be a good slave and you’ll have paradise in the next life.

We need to stop waiting for the world to end and start thinking about what ‘civilization’ will transition to next, because that’s what history is, transition. It’s the book of ‘Revelation’ not the book of “OMG the world’s gonna end so we need to stock up on beans and raise a garden.”

The Founders stood up like men and women and killed their enemies. They conquered this continent and we draw our food and water from its blood-stained ground. Too many have forgotten or never knew that or are too squeamish and/or pathetic to want to think about it.

Every time another moron says “There ain’t nothin’ you can do about it,” for whatever excuse then another nail is driven in Liberty’s coffin. Those who do so are really the ones who are killing our country, not those who won’t follow whatever version, sub-version or subversion of the ancient tribal propaganda they interpreted to suit their own desires.

Try 160 years. And for the benefit of the simple-minded I’m not advocating a return to chattel slavery or taking the vote from women and on and on. Read “The Real Lincoln” and learn what that war was really about then read “The Life of Johnny Reb” and “The Life of Billy Yank” and see in their own words what they fought for. Lots of ignorant 19-year-olds die on battlefields.

The Romans lost their republic about 80 years after its founding as we did, and their empire survived for hundreds of years afterward and only completely collapsed after monotheism was introduced into their society.

I’ve been hearing about ‘the end’ for over 50 years. I’ll never forget the preacher who stood before me in a revival in the late 70s and said “I think it’ll all be over by 1985.”

How disgusting.

The Founders didn’t go dig a hidey hole and they already new how to subsist. They organized and trained and did what was required by going forth to meet their enemies where they were.

We have a Bill of Rights that makes us ‘exceptional’ among all other nations, a document that recognizes rights found in no other and even a ban on ‘cruel and unusual punishment,’ something primitive religions and those who follow them don’t have.

The sad fact is the next war will also likely be fought over which form of authoritarianism will dominate and as usual millions will die over causes they barely understand. That is the human condition until we learn a better way.

Anti-prepping 101: The top unpreparedness skills to master now for the coming collapse (outrageous satire)

Leave a reply

(NaturalNews) We’ve all seen countless articles on tips for preparedness, but I’ve never seen an article providing tips and skills to those who refuse to prepare. (This article is outrageous, politically incorrect satire. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya…)

Why shouldn’t anti-preppers have lists, too? After all, they are going to need to learn a vast array of dangerous and totally gross new skills to survive, such as standing in food lines, looting retail stores and giving BJs in barter for medicine.

Frankly, I think all of us in the prepper community have been a bit discriminatory in not providing “unpreparedness lists” for all those who plan to be unprepared. After all, their necessary skills are much more difficult to master than ours! It’s way more difficult, for example, to learn how to give BJs for food than it is to just store some extra food in the first place, so the anti-preppers really have their work cut out for them. They need to start training now!

It might also be useful for them to engage in “anti-prepper foreign exchange programs” where clueless city-dwelling liberal Americans who think socialism is awesome are flown to Venezuela for a few months, where they get to witness a collapsing socialist utopia in its full glory (while learning unpreparedness skills they can use back home in the coming collapse).

In the hope of helping anti-preppers acquire the skills they need to be fully unprepared, I’ve assembled this list of extremely useful unpreparedness skills they can start learning and practicing right now.

FK – I wrote my own version of this a few years back. It’s not intended to be funny and has a different outcome: Prepping for slavery

FK – Just watched this last night. Pretty good for that era. Kinda like an early prepper flick only the thing back then was ‘mutually assured destruction’ and fallout shelters and pretending the worst commies were overseas instead of right here.
