If your eyes work with red dot sights, the above might be an option.

Guns and especially ammo are about to become Unobtanium, especially after things go fully kinetic.

If you aren't getting gunned up now, you better be training daily with edged weapons.

Hope for a battlefield pickup.

45 ACP is a bit easier to find these days.

I know this guy that went to go hunt drug cartels. He used to tell me about not knowing whether he was paranoid or not. He'd say that it was better to side with one's instincts and be paranoid, than to not side with them, fail to act, and wind up dead because you didn't listen to yourself.

He survived.

The power of stupid people in large groups though.

Irish from Democracy is precisely why the left is using all means to monitor us

through social media
government intelligence
GPS
cameras all over
spy satellites

using BS excuses like calling all Republicans "terrorists "
"threats to democracy" or the " rule of law"
"fascists Nazis white supremacists racists " when in fact we just want to be left alone

it is THEY who are what they call us.....
 

it is harder to stay "underground"

probably the best option is to pretend to be here illegally
then no one will bother you.

if you are legal citizen and not registered crat you are marked and followed

In a few weeks the housing market here in NC should get going and we will be looking hard.

At the moment our thought for back up is a big propane tank, perhaps with some solar to help us eke out an extended power outage.

Noted.

Several years ago, we had a blackout during the summer months where the temps were well over 110 degrees. It was utterly miserable. Luckily, I had a fully charged jump starter, plugged a fan in and we were able to sleep in comfort.

I have one of these now:

Start with this.


Agreed.  I have been doing this for some time.  I rebuilt my 1880 house in the mountains with this type of energy before I connected to the grid.  I generally buy cheap components on ebay or locally, but these are some nice products; I like the Yeti.

Some other advice from the north country:
1. One of the first readiness conveniences with power off and heat out is a fully working electric blanket.  Standard ones are less than 200 watts.  Buy the inverter for twice that wattage and enough battery capacity.  One deep cycle battery goes a long way.  Electric blanket requires the 'Pure Sine Wave' inverter to work.  I make a long winter drive often (skiing in the mountains this week).  A powered electric blanket is a key winter travel accessory for me.
2. Buy and wrap heat tape on critical pipes n your home such as your water meter and plumbing pipes and fixtures.  I've had furnaces go off when not home and in vacant homes.  The heat tape comes on when the pipe temp hits 38 degrees, so it costs you nothing in electricity to be plugged in and ready.  These would be good to hook up to backup power in that they use very low wattage.  In an emergency, heat the people and then the plumbing pipes first.  One point about freezing up your water meter, which I've done twice, a prepper might not be eager to invite the city into your home, and the City generally owns the water utility.
3. Natural gas and propane generators.  If you have piped natural gas to your home (or propane), there is no reason your furnace should be off when the electricity goes off, but it does go off.  Typical furnace fan needs about 800 watts.  I haven't done this but I should.  They make one called tri-fuel.  If you have gas, you shouldn't be without electricity, even if it is just to recharge your batteries.
4.  Buy gas or propane heaters for backup that don't require electricity.  My tankless gas water heater lights with two D batteries that last a year.  In an electrical outage, I still have endless hot water.  Wall heaters can be bought for gas heat with no electricity required.  Same for gas fireplace inserts. 
5. In one off grid setting we use a propane powered refrigerator/freezer.  One more thing that doesn't have to run off the generator and can run when the generator is off.

6. Buy a CO detector if you are using gas combustion of any kind.  Buy the one with the digital display so that if you ever do get a reading, you know what the CO level is.  I carry one in the car for winter emergencies, in case I've pulled over and need to leave the car/heat running.

Good stuff, Doug.

As soon as the snow melts, I am GTFO my current location and moving to a much more rural and cold environment.
Just hoping the hyperinflation/global depression waits for me to get moved.

https://maxvelocitytactical.com/moving-by-vehicle-in-high-threat-environments/

This is good stuff, very important to consider.  For me, it raises more questions than it answers and that is good too.

The last year has made many of these survival issues real.  In Mpls, there was the delivery driver on the freeway who came around a corner and ran into a mob.  The BLM / mostly peaceful protest mob assumed he was trying to kill them.  He really was delivering gas to a black owned station.  Once stopped, the mob rushed the cab to pull him out.  Someone had the sense to persuade the others not to kill him right there.  Most mobs aren't that reasonable.  If they are outside your house or going through your neighborhood house to house, it may be too late to travel. 

If my escape plan is to drive 1000 miles to a better location and I get out of town safely, I still must ask, how do I get more gas?  Shutting down stations is already part of their plan.  cf. Keystone XL

Speaking of 'bug out' locations, here is the latest county map:

Where is the reddest county of the reddest state near you?

Not that long ago, the end of the world as we know it was a joke:

Stabilized gas in external gas cans helps. Also, many vehicles can have an additional fuel tank added as a modification.

what do you see as the most nutritious foods

for example
if you were stuck on a deserted island

or hiding from Communist Democrat Partisans in the woods what would be the best all around foods?

You can start off with rice and beans. Cheap to buy in bulk.

Do you have a Costco membership?

Of course.  Cindy just drove up to the one in Raleigh today for our big monthly purchase.

Good idea about Rice and Beans.

Question that just occurred to me:  Where does Costco product come from?  Under what scenario might it be disrupted?

You should plan on Costco and everything else being disrupted.

Right now, Costco has a sale on these:

https://www.costco.com/chef%e2%80%99s-banquet-ark-2020-food-storage-kit-30-day-supply-in-black-or-white-bucket.product.100646521.html

You can use this to supplement bulk foods:

https://www.costco.com/CatalogSearch?dept=All&keyword=nutristore

Don't forget spices/seasoning.

These foods require water and a way to cook.

Plan accordingly.

Nice of a candidate for council in George Floyd's former district to send the burn loot murder crowd to my daughter's neighborhood,
also the Mary Tyler Moore house - "just in case y'all feel like burning shit down".


What did the rich white liberal neighborhood do wrong?  They voted for Omar.  They voted for Ellison.  They voted for Biden Harris, and for Governor Klink.
http://www.shotinthedark.info/wp/?p=76096

FYI you raving Leftist lunatics, if you lose the rich elites from your Leftist-liberal side, you have nothing.
Minneapolis is 18% black.  Twin cities metro area is 7.8% black.
Seattle is 8% black.
Portland is 6% black. 
Of the blacks and among all others, at least 99.9% don't "feel like burning shit down". So STFU.
