"I refer to myself as a modern survivalist, which means I don’t do without," Spirko explained. "I have a nice TV; I have nice furniture. We are not living in the sticks, but I take all of these things very seriously."

He is gonna need those guns for when the folks that didn’t stock up or prepare come and try to take his.
He is going to need allies in arms — conservatives sticking together.
Networks are just as important, if not more so, than buying hardware & supplies right now.
Good article. It wasn’t biased and actually had some really good quotes from the ‘preppers’.
I am seriously thinking about one.
“Dallas Star Telegram”?
Note to all.....Big Mistake!
Why? Once the riots start everyone will have a nice big screen tv! :-)
I wonder if this man is the exception.Most of us in this Obama induced economy are just hanging in there for all we are worth.I wish we could afford to do as this fellow has done.Truth is ,keeping up with the mortgage ,utilities,other bills and still managing a little extra is taking all we have. Most of us are not as fortunate.Not complaining ,just a fact.Others who have lost jobs are in far worse shape.
I hope he has stocked ammo.He may need it.Times are going to be awfully ugly before this present administration is finished with the damage to America.
Like the smell of a coming storm...you can smell Dopey-Changey and his Commie/Islamic buddies coming for you, your family, your livihood, you guns, your religion and your sanity...
Reach out to your neighbors, I did, and I found about 10 of us (in the Bay Area, no less!) who all are locked, loaded and have food stores.
Like the wise Michael Savage said, “Don’t let them get the best of you...there are more of ‘us’ than ‘them’. The media makes you think there are so many whackos than sane people, when in fact, we far outnumber them, they just own the microphone in TV, movies and print media.
Who, after all, would follow instruction from the produce manager down at the local grocery just because he had 2 years in the Army in 1970? We would be localized as family and friend circles and the gubmint would be forming outside the city limits as a company fully equipped with helo's and tanks. We save our food stores and bulk up on ammo, but in reality we would probably be confronted with overwhelming force within a month.
Without forming a militia ahead of time, we really stand little chance of survival for more than a few days. The government's natural position would be to form a dictatorship( marshall law) and all liberties removed "for our own good". No courts, no police, no governmental organizations, to protect our liberties, in fact, they would be the enemy to liberty.
It's a topic no community would bring up, fearing labeling themselves as the next "Waco" location. I trust many people in my community, but in reality, they would be subject to the government as they are mayors and councilmen, sheriffs, police, ect. What would be their response to an illegal order?, ect.
I've been listening to some of his podcasts on and off for the past few months and he presents a lot of good ideas and details. He may get passionate every once in a while when he talks about certain things, but overall, he's a good source of information for those who want to be better prepared for certain events, but don't know how/where to start. - OB1
Good post. It is the nuts that are running the asylum.
If the government failed and there was chaos, food./water and guns/ammo would be the only real commodities that would be desired. Gasoline heat would also be necessary for travel but if the US military were deployed on the citizenry, we would be crushed like ants.
I hear many active and former military people are on our side, but as Commander in Chief, he could force them to engage citizenry, if “provoked”.
If you are referring to Jack Spirko, he's very stocked and ready. He also has a bug-out location some 20-30 miles from me in Arkansas.
Don't you believe it for a second.
