Bugging Out. Facing Facts. What Will It Take?
Facing Facts. What will it take?
I haven’t written a list to work from here, just thoughts as they occur,
so I suggest you jot down any of your own thoughts when reading this & use
them in your reply to this post. There is bound to be things that I have missed
& it is good to get other people’s perspective.
Okay, let us assume something has gone down & you have to leave
your present abode & go bush, what can you expect to have to do to stay as
safe as possible under the circumstances. For one you will have to stay alert
all the time, even if you are at your retreat or you’re off the grid home, your
life will be under threat 24/7! This can be very stressful, but you will not be
able to drop your guard unless you are in a secure place & there are others
taking their turn on watch.
If you are on the trail, there will be no lighting of fires, so no
warmth from fire & no cooking, no warm food. This means you will have to
carry foods that do not require cooking.
Shelter: You will not be erecting a shelter, come rain or snow you cannot
afford to make yourself visible. Tents are an absolute NO, they stand out too
much, camo pattern included. So what will you have to do? You will have to roll
yourself up in a canvas or oil cloth somewhere hidden by brush, rocks, in a
hollow log or a hollow tree or in low ground. Bear in mind that anyone else on
the trail will also be looking for likely places to camp so hide yourself well.
If there are two or more of you then take turns at keeping watch, but the watch
will still have to be well hidden.
Don’t zip yourself up in a sleeping bag, you can’t protect yourself
stitched up in a bag, & you can’t move fast enough from inside a bag. Pure
wool blankets are the best choice. Keep weapons close to hand so they can be
used in an instant. You don’t have to wear camo clothing, but you will need to
stick to earth colours, no bright coloured clothing!
When you stop for a break on the trail DO NOT take off your pack!
Stay as you are so that you are ready to move or run at a moment’s notice. You
may be able to throw yourself into a hidden place, in which case you don’t want
your pack left sitting in the open. If you have to run for it, you cannot
afford to leave your pack behind, & you will not be able to move as well carrying
your pack in your hand as you would if it were on your back.
Animal trails are the easiest way to travel, but if you are wearing
modern footwear you are likely to leave sign. Moccasins can leave sign too, but
the print does not show as clearly as the tread on a modern boot & may go
unseen by all but a trained tracker. If you are wearing modern boots with a
tread, stay off clear ground trails. If you are in a group & crossing open
ground, spread out so you do not leave a clear trodden trail.
If you can follow a water course, this is a good idea. This will mean
you have a constant source of drinking water & the chance of trapping or
hunting game. Always boil the water if you can, with a no fire rule early on
this will not be possible, but there are tablets you can use to purify water.
Take care when collecting water not to leave any boot prints in the
mud or on the bank.
Toilet: If you were pursued by military with dogs, then your best bet
is to defecate in a plastic bag, add a rock, tie the bag well & drop in a
river or creek. Other than this choose a place well away from the trail &
cover it well. Smell & or buzzing flies are a dead giveaway that someone
has defecated close-by!
Foods: for trail food I suggest a mix of nuts, sunflower seeds,
raisins or sultanas & chocolate bits in a bag. This will keep you going on
the trail, it is nutritious & tasty & it may be the only comfort you
will get for the first few days.
DO NOT weigh yourself down with modern gadgets that are going to self
destruct with time! You have more important things to carry such as medical
supplies, ammunition, water & food. It will be quite a while before you can
afford to hunt or trap & cook game, you may forage along the way but ONLY
along your path, do not stray! So take plenty of dried foods & foods that
you can eat without cooking.
Can anyone add more information or suggestions here?
Keith.

Police 'lured' into Melbourne backstreet battles, internal memo shows amid fears of gang merger
Heavily armed riot police had to be called in to break up a Werribee
party after the first officers to arrive at the Airbnb house were pelted with
rocks. Source: 7 News.
Gangs forming an alliance, where could this lead?
Our government has left us defenceless due to gun control legislation & anti-self defence laws. What choices are we left with for our own self defence & the protection of our families?!

Message to the The Border Mail Newspaper!
Firearm locked onto stranger's stomach after GPS makes a wrong turn.
This is blatant biased reporting, the title should read " A
70 year old pensioner defending herself charged with an offence"
How in the hell was this lady to know these people did not mean her
harm? Indeed, how do we know they did not intend her harm? A woman alone is
faced with several people on her doorstep & she is genuinely concerned for
her safety. We only have the word of these intruders that they were lost, would
you believe a story like that?! We still only have their word that they did not
intend a home invasion & that the gun was aimed directly at them!
This is morally wrong, this woman SHOULD have the human right to take
precautions to keep herself safe. These government anti-self defence laws need
changing or scrapping. People are suffering home invasions all the time now,
people are getting injured, raped & murdered & the government denies us
the right to purchase or carry ANYTHING specifically intended for our defence
or the defence of our families.
You should be fighting for our rights to defend ourselves, not fighting against our human rights.
You should be fighting for our rights to defend ourselves, not fighting against our human rights.

If you believe that citizens should have the right to use a gun for
self defence against a home invasion, then please email or write the Border
Mail regarding this article in their newspaper.

Help Dave get his guns back
David Dunstan is a farmer from the NSW town of
Bungowannah.
At 3:30am on Thursday 14th September, a man armed with a knife and piece of wood knocked on his back door.
David grabbed his unloaded 22 rifle to confront him - aware that the man had earlier confronted one if his neighbours who scared him off with a hockey stick. Dave managed to convince the man to sit in his car and drive him to the police station, while his wife called the police.
The police met David halfway down his driveway and placed his unwelcome guest under arrest.
The problem is, the police paid David another visit later in the morning to take his guns off him!
We've been working with David to try and see what can be done. So we're starting this campaign to help him hire a lawyer who specialises in NSW firearms legislation to get his guns back.
We'd like to go further - we reckon he should be compensated for the loss of his firearms, not for his benefit, but to make a stand against this type of treatment by NSW Police.
So please help our campaign to help David get the legal representation he needs - and score a win on behalf of all shooters.

Worker flees as armed thugs storm Melbourne store with bats, hammers.
Yet again this store worker was not able to defend himself because it is illegal for any law abiding citizen to purchase and or carry ANYTHING for use in self defence. The criminal on the other hand abides by no such law & can use anything they want. In this case they were carrying base ball bats & hammers!
The police can not be on hand all the time, in fact they are rarely there when you need them! They can't reach you in time either when you call 000 & yet the government persists in keeping us defenceless. Why is this? My first thought was that if you make it legal for citizens to purchase guns, pepper sprays or tasers for defence, then it will mean that criminals can do the same thing, BUT THE CRIMINALS ALREADY ARE ABLE TO USE WHATEVER THEY WANT! It is only the law abiding people that are being disadvantaged!

Bugging In VS Bugging Out. How Safe Are Your Homes?
Many if not most people including preppers have decided that bugging in, staying at home in the city is the best way to go. I am not going to say that bugging out to the wilderness/bush is going to be easy, certainly if you have had no previous experience & have not learnt any primitive skills, then it will be very hard for these people. But is the option of bugging in really a good idea? I don't think so.
In the city when the electricity goes off there will be no power, no cooking, no sewage so no toilets, & no water on tap. We are talking a major shtf situation here, long term problems. Not safe to go outside & I don't think you will be safe inside. Preppers boo hoo the idea that gangs, raiders, thugs could run a Mack truck through a house or set their home on fire. Think again! If they can't simply break in & take what you have, they will destroy your home.
So you have food & water supplies, how long do you think they will last? There will be no hunting, no foraging. The supermarkets will have been raided & all stocks gone. Too dangerous to cook outside & too dangerous to bury your toilet buckets outside.
Think about it.

Malcolm Turnbull says Australians should be 'very alert' after IS call for lone wolf attacks.
An Islamic State propaganda magazine has called for 'lone wolf'
attacks at locations in Sydney and Melbourne.
Should this be taken seriously? Or is it just another ploy by the government to legislate more restrictions on Australian citizens in the name of terrorism? Since when have the government been seriously concerned with public safety?

Law-abiding people with proper training should be given the option to defend themselves with a firearm.
Maidstone stabbing: Grandfather fighting for life after
coming to aid of wife outside home.
Self-defence in Australia is frowned on by the government & authorities. Self-defence is not a legal reason for owning a firearm. If your house in invaded, the government advises that you should leave your home by the nearest exit. This is NOT always possible, & once you are outside, your family is an easy target. The Australian government does NOT care about a citizen's safety, & would rather see women raped & the whole family killed rather than allow a law abiding citizen to use a firearm to protect his/her family.

Gun Control.
A LITTLE GUN HISTORY
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From
1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were
rounded up and exterminated.
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to
1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to
1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend
themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952,
20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves were rounded up
and exterminated.
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to
1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to
1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to
1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.
56 million defenseless people rounded up and exterminated
in the 20th Century because of gun control:
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear
politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and
property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding
citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control,
please remind them of this history lesson.
With guns, we are "citizens". Without them, we
are "subjects".
During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

It's time to speak loud before they try to silence and
disarm us.
You're not imagining it, history shows that governments always manipulate tragedies to attempt to disarm the people.
