Why wouldn't the guns move with you? I guess it could it depend on where you're moving.

OK thanks DT. But I figured with all the food storage you are supposed to have that "They" wouldn't move all that weight. I know when I was in the Air Force we were only allowed so much weight to ship. Anything over that (IF they would let you) you had to pay for and it wasn't cheap.

Depends on where ya go. Not like we need to move furniture with us either

Food storage is mostly meant for a shelter-in-place scenario. However, if you've got to leave, refer to the Bug Out Vehicle post.

I've become a-political and a-survival because everything I read, listened to, and studied supported the conclusion in DT's original post.

As a result, I've just tuned out politics and have been trying to live a clean God fearing back-to-basics life.

Apolitical

The state or quality of being apolitical can be the apathy and/or the antipathy towards all political affiliations.

Asurvival

The state or quality of espousing total apathy toward a survival mindset based upon circumstance or rational decision-making.

I've not been around the boards, because I'm pretty much done with survivalism. I figure if you're living an 1800's lifestyle then you're pretty much surviving anyway. This precludes the need to fear, heed, or otherwise care about other people's opinions, assertions, and/or issues that you cannot effect change over.

Stated differently:

If you live like a frontiersman who cares if XYZ happens? You're insulated from everything short of Nazi Germany style round-up and executions. If our government tries that crap - I suspect there will be a lot of dead jack-booted thugs because every bubba with a shotgun will be taking pot-shots at them.

Lets hope it doesn't come to that - jack-booted thugs.

I think that we can all have a positive influence in the world, including in politics. If good people do nothing, and don't help to prevent stupid laws, then we're stuck with something we don't like or want.

We can all have an influence.
However,I feel that I belong to a vast MINORITY, when it comes to changing the way things are going, here.

Where I come from, people think of me as a complete nutcase, for suggesting that I/we/man should have the right to defend one self with a weapon. All the while gangs from Eastern Europe are just stroling across our borders, ready to loot and rob at gun point.

Therefore, I feel that I have to start from rock bottom in a society that has been completely disarmed and completely dependant on decisions made by career politicians.
MOST Danish politicians haven't even had a day job, ever. They just graduated from lawschool, and then went for a career in politics.

So! You have to start with friends and relatives to get them thinking outside the box of "every day life".

Ok, just a short rant on how people here think differently than I.

"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." Thomas Jefferson

I'm well versed.

After years of failed attempts at educating people, personal involvement in politics (including board memberships in political action committees, rallies, speaking engagements, etc), countless books read trying to prepare myself for the "next" debate, etc I came to one harrowing conclusion: most people simply don't care as long as they have sports on TV and beer.

Panem et circenses!

However, I applaud those like yourself that still hold out hope over the crushing weight of our current apathy.

Let's put it this way. There may not be a whole lot we can do about Washington. However, if you help to elect the local sheriff, knowing him to be a God-fearing man who respects the constitution, if/when Washington tells him to confiscate all of the guns in his area, I'd hope he'd "find" none, except perhaps some BB guns (which some may mistake for assault rifles). Or maybe he'll provide Washington a number of weapons "confiscated and destroyed, as instructed."

Jared, there IS a "Movement" if you want to call it that throughout the country, where people vow "OK, it's probably the Rednecks Mostly" to keep GOD, GUTS, and COUNTRY uppermost.

GOD for strength and understand and the knowledge to do what is right.

GUTS To carry out, to actually DO what is correct

COUNTRY to preserve "Our" lifestyle, the Way folks should be toward each other.
