The Six Laws of Survival: Strategies For Beating the Worst Case Scenario
SHFT Plan ^ | 1/7/16 | Jeremiah Johnson

Posted on 01/07/2016 5:56:30 PM PST by Kartographer

These things are not complicated, however, they will require both willpower and action. They will not be things that happen on their own. In order to stay out of a camp, you must do something very important:

You must do things that others do not do, and you must not do what others do.

Let us run with this concept in a scenario:

You’re in bed…it’s a Saturday morning, and you don’t have to go to any of your 3 jobs today until noon. Your battery-powered clock seems to have stopped at 5:15 am. Puzzled you hear the drone of jet engines, and all of a sudden the house seems as if it is shaking. You jump up and run to the front door and as you walk onto the front porch, all hell is breaking loose.

Your mind is playing, “For Whom the Bell Tolls” by Metallica as you look up and see dozens of aircraft flying West to East, disgorging sesame seeds that sprout parachutes by the thousands, all coming down into your neighborhood. “Red Dawn” isn’t playing: it is happening, and you’re in it. Your neighbors didn’t bother to come wake you up; however, they’re working on starting their cars, with no success. The paratroopers are landing, and a large crowd of people is running down Main Street to the tune of automatic gunfire in the distance. Yep, you guessed it! America has been invaded, and chances are you are not going to be handing out a Slurpee this afternoon.

Now what? You must fall upon the six laws of survival or else all could be lost.

Trust in God/Christ for you real survival (Mark 8:35-36). When TSHTF, those who trust in themselves for their survival will be found wanting & desperate without hope.

Flame suit on!

This story came to mind as I read your post.

A very religious man was once caught in rising floodwaters. He climbed onto the roof of his house and trusted God to rescue him. A neighbor came by in a canoe and said, "The waters will soon be above your house. Hop in and we'll paddle to safety."

"No thanks" replied the religious man. "I've prayed to God and I'm sure he will save me."

A short time later the police came by in a boat. "The waters will soon be above your house. Hop in and we'll take you to safety."

"No thanks" replied the religious man. "I've prayed to God and I'm sure he will save me."

A little time later a rescue helicopter hovered overhead, let down a rope ladder and said. "The waters will soon be above your house. Climb the ladder and we'll fly you to safety."

"No thanks" replied the religious man. "I've prayed to God and I'm sure he will save me."

All this time the floodwaters continued to rise, until soon they reached above the roof and the religious man drowned. When he arrived at heaven he demanded an audience with God. Ushered into God's throne room he said, "Lord, why am I here in heaven? I prayed for you to save me, I trusted you to save me from that flood."

"Yes you did my child" replied the Lord. "And I sent you a canoe, a boat and a helicopter. But you never got in."

You are correct. As MikeTyson said,”everybody has a plan till I punch them in the face. “.

That’s why I laugh at keyboard guerrilla fighters. For those in the service just imagine a Marine battalion rolling into you city. With artillery, armor, helicopter support and TRAINED men between the ages of 18-28 full of disciplined piss and vinegar.

I couldn’t even imagine one tank round going through a house in my neighborhood or somebody letting some .50cal automatic fire spray down a street from side to side. Heck one round would go through two houses.

The prepper stuff sounds good but civilians fighting an organized army is “War of the Flea” type of stuff. NOBODY knows how fighting an armed organized invasion would shake out. I hope I never have to

I never said don’t “prep”. I just said don’t trust in your “prepping alone”. The malevolence of the spiritual world far outweighs the physical.

Amen to that!
There’s a few here who get their feathers ruffled because they have spent thousands on the SHTF scenario.

I’ve already been called a “heretic” LOL!

Nice try.

In context you are saying preparing is a waste of time.

If the ISP of posts can be traced by an external organization,

Then why was a website asked recently to disclose the identities of its anonymous posters (IIRC, it refused).

If the organization already knew the identities, it would not have had to ask.

To a certain extent it is. No heresy about it.
Get yourself a sword or two and few cans o’ beans, beyond that you’re a fool.

Luke 12:16-21

I imagine most (if not all) “preppers” will not make it when it hits.

“Get yourself a sword or two and few cans o’ beans, beyond that you’re a fool.”

Do you have car insurance, house insurance, life insurance? Do you have more than a few cans of beans in your house?

Then you’re a fool.

But we knew that already.

Nice distraction and now that you’ve degenerated yourself to the old child schoolyard tactic of “name calling”.

Yawn... Go take your meds and come back to reality.

1 John 4:1 - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Titus 3:10 - A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

2 Peter 2:15 - Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

Galatians 1:7 - Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

Jesus is the Truth, they Way, and the Light. Until he returns we are to prepare ourselves and spread his Gospel.

His commands include providing for and protecting our families. They also include rebuking false teachers.

You’re shooting your own DD.
And projecting really bad on top of that.

This is what happens on a forum where people misread though.

You seek to use the Word of God to spread false teachings and then attack when you are properly rebuked.

There was no misreading of your post or your intent. As evidenced by your other posts.

It is not unGodly to take reasonable precautions against difficult times. Do you sit doing nothing now waiting for Jesus to return? Or are you working and saving and planning for the weekend?

You don’t get to place my posts out of context. That’s exactly what you have done. And you know it.

Again, go back to my first post.

THOSE WHO TRUST IN THEMSELVES....

What’s hard to understand about that?

Do you advocate that approach without including Christ?

Good luck if you do.

Law 1.
If there is an army that wants stuff, the only thing that will stop it from getting stuff is a superior army.

Well, long-term delay land mines and biological/radiological weapons help. I am reminded of the Finnish woman who spent the night scrubbing her floor before Finnish soldiers came to burn it down the next the night day; the Keralian Peninsula had been ceded to the Soviet Union and the Finns left nothing usable for them to enjoy. When one gives their home for their country she is reported to have said, You want it to be as nice a gift as possible. It was not simply a gesture.

Law 2.
Contrary to Hollywood movies, a few guys do not constitute an army. No matter how good their equipment is.

True. However, there ARE force multipliers, and there are technicians who can accomplish results WAY outside that of sheer numerical strength.

Law 3.
If an army wants your stuff, and you are not part of a superior army, see laws one and two.

But don't forget to leave them some nice surprise packages as well. Even if you are long gone, that can be the gift that keeps on taking.

Law 4.
If you do not like any of these laws, reality doesn’t care.

Concur. Don't break those laws. But sometimes, you can work around them. And if Those Other People don't like it, I don't care.

That means here too . The f e d ' s are reading all our post.

You think? You do knowthat a good many of them, happy graduates of our public school system, can hardly read at all. You see them in TSA outfits at airports everywhere.

Let 'em read this:

Русские любят готовить еду и угощать своих гостей.
традиционном2 русском обеде три основн�‹х блюда.
Перв�‹м блюдом всегда б�‹вает суп.
На второе блюдо подаются жареное, запечённое или варёное мясо, котлет�‹, бифштекс, пельмени, ц�‹плёнок, гусь, утка.
Если В�‹ вегетарианец, для Вас приготовят жареную или варёную картошку, картофельное пюре, салат�‹, гречневую или рисовую кашу, варён�‹е или тушён�‹е овощи, блин�‹, оладьи со сметаной.
На десерт подаётся компот, чай с лимоном и сахаром, кофе чёрн�‹й или с молоком, торт�‹, шоколад, пироги, мороженое3 или фрукт�‹.

“I imagine most (if not all) “preppers” will not make it when it hits.”

As opposed to which group that you think will survive? Those with no preps??

That’s about as intelligent as claiming Jeb who cannot seem to fill a nursing home with interested voters will win the election against Trump who fills stadiums.
