And you garnered that info from what?
And “get out” to where? - and why?
Defending in place is a case of .22 shorts and a rotary carbine to deliver a slug quietly so as not to attract attention.
Simple infantry tactics.
Three day siege. some H&I fire to deprive you of sleep and peace.
then ...
Direct, smart, simultaneous assault from multiple directions at the right time, or multiple times.
He doesn’t have the means to sustain a 24 X 7 X 360 degree multi-layered defense.
there is no way he and his family of four (guessing) could keep ‘me’ and my band of marauders from taking ‘you and yours’ in three days/ 72 hours. he simply cannot control the order of battle or its tempo. I can. It is simple to war game this.
Besides, piss ‘me’ off bad enough, and I’ll burn/smoke you out.
BTW, your .22 is laughable against what I would use. with what I have, If I can see you, you are in range. Not true for your .22 And I have NVG.
a family cannot defend their suburban homestead. period.
In truth I and mine will not be the ones who come for this guy. REAL barbarians will.
by staying, you condemn your family to die in place.
Done.
p.s. I read the article. He may have a good plan, but it’s not there, and he makes no reference to it.
pardon the typos; posting from mobile
get out = to our rural property and structures/ infrastructures.
We plan to leave our various places and gather away from urban/suburban in a ready location. Where we are going we and those around us can live and survive.
