A chain of U.S. survival communities plan to activate and open to members for the first time over fears of violence following the presidential election on Nov. 3.
Fortitude Ranch camps in West Virginia and Colorado will open on election day to protect members, the companys October newsletter said. Regardless of whether Republican President Donald Trump or Democratic challenger Joe Biden wins the election, Fortitude Ranch expects possible looting and violence that could devolve into long-term, widespread clashes, the newsletter said.
Fortitude Ranch CEO Drew Miller said some on social media feared civil war, and he did not rule out the possibility.
This will be the first time we have opened for a collapse disaster, though it may end up not being so, said Miller in an emailed statement. We consider the risk of violence that could escalate in irrational, unpredictable ways into widespread loss of law and order is real.
Fortitude Ranch set up its first camp in West Virginia in 2015 and has two more in Colorado. For an annual fee of around $1,000, members can vacation at camps in good times, and use them as a refuge in the event of a societal collapse. Members are required to own either a rifle or shotgun to defend the communities. The company does not disclose membership numbers.
U.S. security officials have warned that violent domestic extremists pose a threat to the presidential election, citing rising political tensions, civil unrest and foreign disinformation campaigns. FBI and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memos said threats by domestic extremists to election-related targets will likely increase in the run-up to the election.

A government agency leaving someone alone? You FUNNY!
This is a good time to get as many decent people to the polls as possible, either early in-person voting or election day voting.
This is a good time to be prepared in case the corrupt democrats steal the election:
This is a good time to get your septic tank pumped, if applicable.
This is a good time to get your medical/dental work caught up.
This is a good time to get in at least slightly better shape - set a goal of 5-10 pounds lost and a weekly 10% increase in distance walked/run per day.
This is a good time to get to the range and zero in your scoped rifles and other firearms (in case of a busy deer season, of course).
This is a good time to make sure stored food/medicines are rotated and fresh.
This is a good time to add to food storage - the Mormons have excellent prices and good quality to add a lot of calories with a 30-year shelf life https://providentliving.churchofjesuschrist.org/food-storage/home-storage-center-locations-map?lang=eng.
There is a lot to be done in the next month!
I remember
Y2K,,,
sounds like fun.
But Id rather stay home with my stuff
I learned from Y2K
“Dont forget about your dogs and cats.”
And the appropriate spices!
Shelter in Place,
Till You Can’t.
.
Travel leaves you
Vulnerable.
I’m in VERY rural Hawaii.
I’ve been preparing for disasters for 20 years.
My island is subject to about every natural disaster
you can dream up.
If things go bad on the mainland or even here
on my island, I have food, water, and energy,
for years.
If you wait till things go bad, it is too late.
Ping!
