A good blog for those who think that preparing for the worst is somehow giving in to a survivalist mentality.

Yep. Got one. Up here we call them “Blizzard Kits” or “Tornado Kits.”

Is 72 hours enough time to get out of Dodge when the Obama Corps comes calling?

I’m not a survivalist, but I am prepared to hold out for an extended time, which would include taking in my 4 kids and my 8 grandkids.

I do not intend to run.
But the idea of preparing for “field operation” might have some merit. I have lots of camping gear, but it is not organized. And commo gear.
We live in the “Big Nothing” in Texas, and the river breaks would be a natural for hiding and living off the land. Very possible.
But I cannot see that happening in Texas, no matter how insane the edicts from DC.

If the Military or the “0 security” forces are looking for you the open is the worst place to be. The US Military is very good at finding stuff in the open. Eric what's his name not withdstanding. If you have women and kids the open is suicide. Urban or other places with people where you can hide in plain sight are better.

Survival plan? We have, and it’s a hell of a lot safer than your 401k or your flood insurance policy provider or your credit card issuer.
The only thing we don’t have at 668 is an able-bodied male. Fortunately we live nearly surrounded by badass war veterans — WW2, Korea, Viet Nam, and Gulf. They would go down hard...but when the need arises we should be able to trap a few of them. ;)

No. one item in a bugout kit should be some method of personal defense, else someone else who covets your bugout kit may just take it.

How many of the military do you think would actually fire on our own citizens?
To: Texas Fossil
But I cannot see that happening in Texas, no matter how insane the edicts from DC. I agree with you. My family and I were talking yesterday about some of this. Our concern is with Mexico imploding (and many more Mexicans coming here) and the recession or if it gets to a depression, fewer jobs, etc. people are going to be desperate and hungry and willing to do whatever to get what they need.
I found out this week about the number of gangs we have here (18 different ones) and those that are very dangerous gangs.
I will have no problem with defending myself or what I have. However, we are in town so living off the land could be a issue.

No!
THAT is why you need to be prepared to STAND AND FIGHT!

***None. But didn’t Hussein want to create some kind of “civilian” force? They’re the ones even our military should fear.

As high as 50% according to some studies. It is folly to think it will not happen. BTW there is very good evidence that the 0 security forces will be equipped and trained by contractors. Contractors will use Russian and other mercs who have no compunction about shooting Americans. One of the reasons to ramp the war in Afcrapistan is to keep the military occupied and out of country.
Remember it took 130,000 troops to suppress Iraq, a country the size of Texas ans with the population of Kalifornia.

Considering how America-hating some ‘rats are, I’m sure some of them have joined for the chance to shoot up some Reds(staters).
