WELL REGULATED AMERICAN MILITIAS !
WRAM - We dedicate our hearts,minds and bodies to protecting our great Republic!
Wake-up Input Needed
Well, what are we here for?
Are we supposed to be preparing for some kind of catastrophe that puts us all back to mid-1800s conditions? Barring something like a nuclear war or a "dinosaur-killer" meteor strike, I don't see that happening. Yes, it's nice to know how to start a fire, or skin a rabbit, or for that matter catch a rabbit. But I don't see that as our most important problems.
We are facing an economic catastrophe the likes which the Western world (Europe, US, Japan) hasn't seen since the runaway inflation of the Weimar Republic in the 1920s. Then, the saying went that you took your money to the market in a wheelbarrow and brought back your purchases in a basket. Today, Zimbabwe is the prime example: the paper on which the currency is printed actually costs more than the currency is worth. Ben Bernanke is rapidly dragging us down that road. This is something we should be preparing for. How do you live when you still have your house, but the ATMs are empty, the banks are closed, and your credit cards don't work? How do you eat when the market shelves are empty?
Those who wish to fly are now faced with a choice of being video strip-searched, or pawed over in a manner that would otherwise qualify as sexual assault. Try doing that to one of your employees and you'll face a sexual harassment suit. And yet, polls show that about 80% of Americans are willing to put up with this "if it makes us safer." Ben Franklin, where are you when we need you? It's appalling that our fellow countrymen aren't rearing back and rebelling at this abuse. Once "they" have gotten us used to this abuse, what will "they" do next?
What do you do when "civil disturbance" is the order of the day? When not just big cities but even small towns may erupt into riots at any moment? When the huge numbers of people who are dependent on welfare suddenly find that the system isn't there any longer?
I could go on, but maybe you get the point. We face some serious problems that learning "survival skills" suitable for a hunter-gatherer existence won't solve.
I recommend the book SURVIVING THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE, by Fernando Aguirre. He lived through the Argentine economic collapse of 2001. The author provides a good description of conditions we're far more likely to face in the next few years.
So, what is this group doing to prepare for some very likely circumstances? I have some ideas, but I'll be interested in what others have to say.

We are training and preparing to save our lives and those around us. In the event the supermarket shelves are indeed bare, you may want to know how to catch that rabbit.

You might want to go to this thread and put your thoughts there as to having a plan to move the site forward so it might not be as hard when the time comes.

When the economic collapse comes, it will be 10 times worse than in Argentina,for the simple reason,just look at all the modern conveniences that are constantly in use, The electricity go down, then they cant pump gas and the supply trucks stop and the people start starving from lack of supply, an yes at one point you will have to live off thee land until all the game is gone, by that time you had better have a garden that is producing with non GMO seeds,so you can supplement the diet you are subsisting on.

I had to leave for a dentist appointment while I was writing the above entry, so I didn't get a chance to complete my thoughts. Which of course leads to another book recommendation: WHERE THERE IS NO DENTIST. If things get bad enough, you might want to have that book on hand.
Yes, many of us are preparing for a "survival" mode: stockpiling food, ammunition, etc., learning skills, and getting ourselves mentally adjusted to a radical change. But anyone can do that as an individual. What are or should we be doing as members of a militia? If the only thing to do is prepare for individual survival, what's the point of being a militia member? There must be things that we, as militia members, can or should be doing as groups, not just as individuals. Or to put it another way, what should the militias be doing? Not just for our own survival, but for the survival of our culture?

Brother I lived in Argentina and I can tell you about some things that went on there. But what they did to save their money was just as soon as they got paid they went to the store and bought everything they needed for the week, then straight to the bank and bought US Dollars with what was left. Inflation was so bad that they knew their money would be worse less by the end of the week. What are we going to do, buy Argentine Pesos? When the dollar goes, the rest of the world will go with us. China ain't too happy now, just wait.
