Here's a man's story in his own words of a visit from Child Protective Services. The CPS woman questioned him about avoiding fluoridated water, avoiding vaccines, eating organic food, and owning a 72-hour Bugout Bag.
Police were standing by in front of his house during the questioning.

I have always used a shotgun as one of my staples for home defense. Years ago back in Canada I had one called "The Home Defender" It was a 10 g with a barley legal barrell.
I think some Liberal got upset at the name and protested the stores that sold them. They were relatively inexpensive (not...
What are some of the criteria that makes up a good Bug Out Location, for you, for both short and long term use? Does it have to be in the mountains miles away from civilization? Does it have to be hidden? Should it be your personal property? Do you even have a BOL? Should it be fairly close to...
Has anyone looked into heading to one of the underground mines here in So. Indiana for a bug out spot?
Seems like in a long term ARMAGEDDON setting, a mine could be easy to defend (if it had 1 entry)
I am not talking about a shaft mine, but 1 of the hillside, limestone mines with a straight...
Any suggestions on the best value for the money bag to buy for a my BOB? I've seen some people use Mil Surplus molle type stuff and others use store bought backpacking packs. Any suggestions for the best value and most efficient?
BOB,GHB,SHTFbag, bag of evil or whatever you call them. I just realized today while cleaning the garage that I have too many bags of gear I have accumilated and eventually they all ended up trading places and uses.. I started out having one in the car then one full pack to grab and go then one...
Recently I have been putting together a Bag of Evil. I thought I would post it up here and see if anybody had comments or suggestions.
I would like to point out that this is not intended to be a Bug out Bag which I keep in my truck this is just to help get me to it and contain other things I...
i know there have been lots of posts but i would like to see ppls updated get home bags with winter here and what not. to me a get home bag is a lot different than a bob. a bob being much bigger and made to sustain you much longer but i suppose it depends on what you do and how far from home...
Should i buy a pre-packaged kit or build my own? The few i've looked at in camping stores seem pretty thin, just band-aids and gauze is this all I need?
What is essential to toss in their?
Thanks in large part to all of the good advice on this forum, I have been constructing a BOB for me and for my family members (I will give them the bags on Christmas and walk them through how to use them and what is in them). My Dad and my Brother will each get their own pack. I am stuck on what...
Just curious if the SHTF, and you could take only two long guns along with a pistol what would they be? Mine would be my 500, with both my 28", and 18.5" barrel. The next would be my AK.
With winter fast approaching, and temperatures dropping, I thought now would be a good time to list items that we should have in a winter car kit. I'll start, and others can add on.
Hats
Gloves
Extra set of clothes
Snow boots
Snow shovel
Blankets
Matches
Lighter
Emergency Candles
Food (think...
I drive a semi and I've started my "walk home bag" in case i ever have to.
so far it includes 2 sets of tiger stripe BDUs, 2 new pair of wool socks, 2 sets of polypro and an extra set of lighter polypro long johns. 5 bic lighters. 8 nail style tent pegs, 50 feet of para cord, an 8 1/2' square...
You grab your backpack(already packed with a handgun) equiped with a few days food and water along with the essential fire starting material ect..and you head for the woods.
What else is in your backpack?
Any tips?
I am looking to pick up a few starter kits for family members this Christmas. I know that in all likelihood the best bang for the buck is to put together one's own kit but I wondered if the NRA kit was a decent starting point for folks (and I do like to support the NRA whenever possible). Does...
I have just purchased a 1994 Camo Geo Tracker 4x4. It has 200000 miles on it but still runs like a March hare. This will be my hunting/range, SHTF kinda off road around town toy play truck. I am not wanting to get a lot of money into this but there are a few things that seem mandatory, for...
I know people discuss B.O.B. options and whether to stay or go quite often. My ideal plan is to stay home where I have shelter but have to prepare for the alternative just in case. I have a Camelbak BFM for a bag and most of my needed things but I lack two major items. Does anyone have any...
After reading a few different books lately, (One Second After, Patriots - Surviving the Coming Collapse) I've really been intrigued with the SHTF forums lately and have really been thinking about and planning to put together a few different bags for the different situations.
In my readings...
