How ...You wanna talk action without violence, fine. How about identifying all the present and future threats while you still can. Track them to where they live. Track where their children go to school and where their spouse shops. Track their travel patterns, when they go to sleep and when they rise. Id ALL threats in your AO. Cops, Feds, Politicians, Unions, Media, Military, etc. Does your local Armory have any useful hardware? Who runs it? Who has the keys? When and where do they do local training ops? Armed? Live ammo? I'm sure you get the drift. <br />Harden your hearts.........Chas Steelehttp://dangernear.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-44703281528288020422012-04-17T08:59:58.275-07:002012-04-17T08:59:58.275-07:00It is a _very_ good point to make a habit of trans...It is a _very_ good point to make a habit of transferring those locations onto paper, but there is nothing wrong with doing it the easy way. Doing your exploring now and tagging those places with a GPS unit that you want to be able to return to just simplifies things. <br /><br />Besides, you _do_ carry spare batteries for essential electronics, don't you? And stock rechargeable batteries that can be reused hundreds of times? My EDC flashlights and such are powered by rechargeables. And any weapons I use red dots or hologram sights on have back-up BUIS or iron sights. I know they can break down, at the worst possible moment.RegTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-61013617740082839762012-04-16T09:21:28.782-07:002012-04-16T09:21:28.782-07:00How about just marking them on your map, or writin...How about just marking them on your map, or writing down the grid coordinates in a small notebook? <br /> GPS may be gone tomorrow, then what? Same for your laptop, the US Army will find itself in a world of hurt when all their laptops go down and not one rocket or round of artillery will find it's target. Nobody learns to use a compass anymore, "Oh, but my GPS is so much easier". Lotsa luck with that one! Or just when you need it the most, your batteries just went Tango Uniform! Use your GPS, but back it up with paper and compass.<br />Semper Fi, 0321Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-8654183048006891272012-04-15T21:31:08.662-07:002012-04-15T21:31:08.662-07:00While you are out exploring, especially in the cou...While you are out exploring, especially in the country, save the GPS coordinates of locations that could be useful to you: where water is located, where you see game animals, where there are caves/mines/potential shelter such as abandoned (but still sound) houses or other structures. If you find good locations where it is safe to do so, plan or make cache sites.RegTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-73353129037223167742012-04-15T20:37:59.362-07:002012-04-15T20:37:59.362-07:00Absolutely, although I know the desert pretty well...Absolutely, although I know the desert pretty well that I live in as I jeep it regularly, looking at G.E. I have found many old dirt roads I didn't know exist and a few shortcuts. I can also find some of the old mines just by looking for dirt roads or foot paths going up into some of the desert mountains.Curtisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-67363949771066007842012-04-15T19:35:42.299-07:002012-04-15T19:35:42.299-07:00Google Earth also is a great help for locating old...Google Earth also is a great help for locating old roads and trails that haven't been used in yrs. If you know an area, and think you've been on some old roads, look it up, amazing what you can find from 80-100 yrs ago that is still there. Short cuts home on foot or ATV that no one else knows! Go explore and cut out logs/debris if necessary. Sit down and study the area around your own AO, in detail. Then print aerial photos, amazing what the USGS won't put on maps anymore.<br />Semper Fi, 0321Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-21572727014363122132012-04-15T19:13:09.933-07:002012-04-15T19:13:09.933-07:00If you do not have Google Earth, get it.

Also, if you work far from home, or your loved one does, you can plot out different routes on getting home. You can plot out various bug-out routes. The shy is the limit.Curtisnoreply@blogger.com
