It is going to take a dedicated 3/4 Ton truck to haul all that stuff.....unless you have a farm like me, and then, its right here anyway, cause we are not going out on the road for any cause.

I have been thinking of preparing a small parcel for the right family with the right money so when the stuff does hit the fan, that they do have a place to go to, with food, water, and protection. It will be very expensive, but, then what cost insurance to know that 2 years from now, that you still have all your kids and all your stuff? It will make New York prices pale by comparison, but, then, again, what is your safety worth?

7 recruitment and training and $12,500,000 for each of fiscal
8 years 2010 through 2014 for the Ready Reserve Corps.’’.

This has the effect of removing all current legal obstructions to the use of military FORCE against the citizen population afforded by posse commitatus. Our President just created his own private army and as he stated numerous times in the campaign he intends to equip it to the full equivalent of our MILITARY forces.

Can somebody tell me what this has to do with universal HEALTH CARE? Why does he need an ARMED FORCE for use inside the country? Does anybody think there is more than a passing similarity to another such force in history known as the GESTAPO? Folks, this isn’t hyperbole — nor is it “chicken little” this is as real as it gets.

We started doing SAR with our local CAP squadron back in November. They're a pretty serious bunch about locating lost people in the woods, as well as downed aircraft. We've got a standard equipment list for 24 and 72 hour packs for ground teams and I'm here to tell you that "most" people are fooling themselves if they think they're just going to load it up and run out the door... for any distance anyway. Bear in mind that none of this includes weapons or ammo. Well...to be honest, the "rumor" is that most of the seniors carry sidearms somewhere on their gear, even though the regs are very specific and "generally" (except for a few exceptions at Wing Commander's discretion) the carrying of arms is prohibited.

But anyway... a properly equipped (NO weapons or ammo included!) 24 hour pack will weigh 20 to 30 lbs. The 72 hour pack can weigh up to 60 lbs. Add weapons and ammo and some basic maintenance equipment for the weapons and it's going to add up to some considerable weight. We are EXPECTED to be able to carry ALL of it to the forward operating base (wherever that might be!) and leave the 72 gear there.

People can make equipment and supply lists until they're blue in the face but until they get their asses out of their chairs and get into shape, they'll just die tired. :-)
