I don’t want anybody’s dander up. Everybody’s circumstances are different. My boat could be trapped in a marina and never make it to the ocean, and so on. Or the balloon could go up while we’re a thousand miles from home. My only zone of disagreement was what I took to be your rather blase attitude toward the threat infiltrators would make. I think a lot of folks in general think that a zone of fire and a rifle or rifles will keep them safe from attack, and I think they often fail to consider that the attackers can also have rifles and fire from ambush in a sneak attack. The dumb refugees will all be dead. The ones who survive to make it to the retreats will be smart and will have honed their raid tactics, and will have picked up good weapons along the way. I wish us all good luck, we’ll all need it, along with our preps and our faith and our families. I wish disparagement on no sincere freeper here, so I’m sorry if my tone was over the line. For that I sincerely apologize. I hope we are still freeping away in peace a decade hence, and are not crouching over hidden campfires. —Matt
On who knows what,...
Our personal situations are very different in many ways from one of us to another. For example, my perceptions of being situated in a city or anyplace on most of the terrain of our country are less clear than for most of you (except for my past training and experiences). Here, the climate and distances are far more dangerous than violent criminals can be.
Oh, yeah, I’ve lived in all kinds of places in the past but haven’t seen for over a decade, what most of the rest of you regularly see. Likewise for nearly all of you regarding this place (somewhat like Mars)—even those who’ve often visited. Prairie dogs here carry the Bubonic Plague, BTW. My overseas shots for that expired over 10 years ago, so no prairie dog stew, even if the SHTF. ;-)
