10 Ways to Avoid the Authorities and Escape Martial Law

Posted on February 23, 2019 By sandy 10 Comments on 10 Ways to Avoid the Authorities and Escape Martial Law

Martial Law under a government with bad intentions can have devastating consequences. Is history about to repeat itself and will we face a violent enactment of martial law in the years ahead?

Here are 10 ways to fool the authorities and escape with your life and family.A violent and horrifying life in a concentration camp is what you may face one day under martial law.

We’re not talking about a regional or short term enactment of martial law. We’re talking about martial law under a government with an agenda to root out and destroy any elements that are not in line with their specific agenda.

How many Jews learned the hard way in World War II that the Nazis hated Jews and wanted to exterminate them?

In a government collapse following any number of disastrous events that might befall a nation, we can bet that the next government to come to power in this day and age will need force, and a lot of it, in order to quell a rebellious people.

Force shows power and overwhelming violence spreads fear across a population. And there’s no better way to show force and enact fear into a people than to violently enforce martial law.

Making Sense of All These Cyberattacks

In World War 2, the Nazis set out to conquer Europe; it was part of the Nazi agenda before World War 2 ever began.

If it’s going to happen to us, we can bet that extensive planning and military operations that include secret government agents, computer hacking, weapons smuggling, and covert alliances are already taking place.

At the end, who will be the governing party that will enact martial law? It won’t be under an American flag. Not the flag of our founding fathers that is. Don’t get me wrong. The American flag may still fly — but if it does fly, it’s going to be dwarfed by a larger flag with any number of national or foreign symbols poised above it.

Dump Any Device That Contain The Words ”Smart” Or ”I”

Your smartphone can be tracked even if GPS, location services are turned off. According to Princeton researchers, the smartphone user wouldn’t even know their phone was being tracked.

  • Smartphones’ locations can still be tracked, even if all location services and GPS have been turned off. — Princeton, 2018
  • A security exploit uses a mix of phone and non-phone information sources to track a device’s location, suggesting your location may not be as secure as you thought. — Princeton, 2018

Smartphones can still be tracked even if location services and GPS are turned off, according to Princeton University researchers.

The team—Arsalan Mosenia, Xiaoliang Dai, Prateek Mittal, and Niraj Jha—combined information from phone-based and non-phone sources to determine a device’s location. The technique, called PinMe, shows it is possible to track a location even if the location services, GPS, and Wi-Fi are turned off.

Data used to track the device include the phone’s time zone and information from its sensors, like air pressure, a Princeton press release said. When mixed with public information like maps, a device’s location can be estimated without location services.

Since the sources that produce this data don’t require user permission to operate and only collect a small amount of data, the method is “virtually undetectable,” the release said.

Dumping all these devices will increase your chances to avoid being caught.

Escaping Martial Law

1. Run, Don’t Walk, Run

With death bearing down on your community, on your neighborhood, on your front door, it’s better to make a hasty retreat for the countryside than to wait too long and find out the hard way … that you waited too long to evacuate.

From the countryside, you can hide safely under the cover of the forest, and make plans and preparations for the next leg of your journey.

A large number of Jews were able to escape the Nazis by fleeing into the forests, surviving the weather and foraging for food (or just handouts of free food), and eventually escaping. Sometimes they had the help of “underground” elements, resistance fighters and their supporters.

2. Seek Cover and Stay Camouflaged

Jews who waited too long to evacuate, or moved too slowly, or didn’t do a good job hiding out, were rounded up, or simply shot where they were found. The key to not being found is to:

– Stay undercover (you don’t want to be spotted from a drone, helicopter, or plane circling in the air)

– Avoid “line of sight” (position yourself so that your path of travel isn’t visible to anyone scouring the land with binoculars; trees and tall brush can provide concealment from every direction; avoid meadows and open spaces).

– Be ready to belly crawl … slowly (not getting caught is of utmost importance; be ready to drop to your belly and crawl on all fours, stomach and head low to the ground, and move at a snail’s pace; moving extremely slow will help you avoid snapping twigs and also avoid shaking the brush or tall grass around you, movement which can give away your position to anyone close by).

– Be patient (if you have any questions or suspicions about a possible searching party trying to track your position, be ready to stop moving completely and simply lay right where you are for the next several hours — until the cover of dark perhaps — or when you feel it’s safe to start moving again).

– Hide well off-trail (the further you can get from any noticeable trail to hide, or just to sleep, the better; if these are just soldiers acting on orders, they may not be too excited about slogging through a swamp or wetland, or climbing a steep hill of dense brush, which brings us to…)

Wild Lettuce is also Known as Opium Lettuce. For a good reason. While it doesn’t contain any opiates, it has similar side effects when used – it acts directly on the central nervous system (CNS) to lessen the feeling of pain, just like morphine.

3. Choose the Path of MOST Resistance

From your starting point, what is the hardest way into the wilderness? What has the most brush, the steepest gully, that is still passable? If authorities are not right on your tail, and you have a head start, consider taking a path that no one in their right mind would be likely to take.

It might take you 30 minutes to climb a 200-yard hillside through the woods, but if that hillside climb puts you on a path off the beaten track, you can increase the odds that you’ll never be found, and that no one is going to follow the path you have taken.

4. Cover Your Tracks

Soldiers acting on authorities to round up evacuees might not be well trained (or have any real training) in tracking. That said, you should be cautious along whatever path you take not to leave signs of your presence, and especially not to leave signs revealing the direction you are traveling.

Signs to avoid are:

– Broken branches (avoid breaking branches; even twigs breaking off the brush as you pass by are telltale “white” signs pointing to your presence)

– Flattened grass (crawling through an open area of grass comes with a danger; you may leave a trail of flattened grass pointing in your direction of travel; if you have time, and you have to travel through grass, for a short distance into the grass, turn at repeated points, and use your hands to stand the grass back up, so that it’s no longer flattened and conceals your path of travel)

– Footmarks in damp soil (be ever cautious about open areas of soil, especially damp soil; damp soil is a fast way to leave a shoe print revealing your direction of travel; step cautiously over and around open areas of soil to avoid leaving shoe prints).

– Campfires (smoke from campfires can alert people from miles away to your location and ashes from a campfire on the ground can tell trackers just how long it’s been since you were there; as much as possible, avoid any campfires until you are a very safe distance away; keep them short, brief, and very small when you do need one)

– Litter (don’t drop anything to signal your presence, from an empty matchbook to a cigarette lighter to garbage from your food supplies; bury everything you don’t want well off-trail where it won’t be found)

5. Fool Any Pursuers

So you plan on entering the woods near a highway? Cross to the other side of the highway and break a number of branches and clear a path of brush and create what looks like a trail leading in the opposite direction you actually plan to travel.

Continue forward along that false trail you’ve started, and leave additional signs giving pursuers the impression that is the direction you or others are traveling.

Now go back to your original planned starting point, perhaps “choosing the path of most resistance” (see above), and head off in the opposite direction.

Pull this off and you’ve just made a safe getaway and any pursuers will be shortly later on a wild goose chase leading to nowhere.

– Now is a great time to litter. Remember that rule above about avoiding littering — well there is a time to litter, and that is when you want to use litter as a way to fool pursuers into believing you went one direction or crossed a river when you actually doubled back and went another way.

Consider dropping an empty matchbook and arranging things to look like a temporary campsite.

In one area, urinate (or pour water) on the ground, and then make footprints in the damp soil, that look like you are walking in a certain direction.

Got an old shirt? Cut a length of paracord and tie it securely to a rock, and then tie both to a shirt. Wrap the rock in the shirt and then throw both over a narrow river you have no intention to cross (choose a point in the river where it would be a dangerous crossing) so that the rock and shirt fall on the other side of the river where the shirt is visible to anyone searching from your side of the river (dunk your shirt in the water to give it more weight prior to your toss — it should travel a few feet further than it might if dry)

In a short while, any pursuers who see your shirt may be fooled into thinking you crossed over the river. By the time they cross (if they are even able to cross, remember this is a fast point of the river we’re talking about) and discover the rock tied to your shirt, and possibly realize they’ve been fooled, you may be far off in a different direction.

Make it more believable by making footprints in a damp area of sand or dirt near the river bank that points to the river.

6. Only Carry the Essentials

If you’re prepared, and in reality, everyone should be prepared, you would have had a Bug Out Bag packed and ready to go, though a lighter weight Bug Out Bag may be called for if you find that you need to make a hasty retreat and have a tough road ahead of you.

What are some ways you can shed pounds from your backpack?

When it comes to the outdoors, it’s common for people to bring more changes of clothing than they actually need. The more time you spend in the outdoors, and the more time you spend on any treks of any real distance, you’ll realize that you can get by in the same set of clothing just fine. Having a second outfit you can wear as an additional layer is recommended, as evening temperatures can drop, and you don’t want to freeze. The point of all this is that too many outfits will only bulk up your bag and add extra weight and only slow down your travel time.

Additional ways to shed pounds —

– Avoid carrying a tent — instead, carry a simple waterproof bivy sack. A bivy sack is a thin yet rugged bag designed to fit over a sleeping bag and keep you sheltered from the elements.

– Carry less water into the wilderness (unless traveling through dry areas where natural water sources are few or non-existent for several miles at a time — then you’ll want to carry a lot more water than normal); be sure to have a plan for procuring drinking water along the way.

– Choose a smaller flashlight that takes smaller batteries (but always have a few extra)

– Cut your emergency candle in half (have a 55-hour emergency candle? Take a hacksaw to it, and cut it in half to 22.5 hours of burn time)

– Pack calorie-rich freeze-dried food or lightweight high-calorie survival food and be prepared to go longer between meals

– Include a plan to snack on edible insects; some of you are squeamish at this idea — but edible insects can provide enough calories and help you get by for a few extra hours or even days at a time, adding time and distance to your escape from otherwise captivity and possible death in a concentration camp.

Right now your goal is to just get away — you can hunt, fish, and trap once you are dozens of miles away or more into a remote area.

– As you move along the forest floor and or along a river’s edge, be ready to collect edible plants, roots, nuts, and berries — but be careful, many are poisonous and not edible. It may be a lot easier for you to recognize edible insects and make do with these instead of risking your life with plants, roots, nuts, and berries found in the forest.

Remember, the wrong plant or berry can be a fast way to an early death. Foraging is a skill that today can be learned by reading books on foraging for wild plants, taking classes, and then practicing what you have learned so that you are ready for a survival situation.

7. Be Careful What You Tell People

If you come across strangers, keep details about your travels to yourself. Unless they’re part of your group, no need to share details just in case these strangers you’re talking with are soon after caught by authorities and give up your location.

What about tracking dogs?

While tracking dogs may be a threat for some evacuees, a large scale evacuation into the countryside is likely to leave authorities short handed and short on adequately trained canine teams.

8. Press-On and Keep Traveling

Feel like there’s enough distance between you and them? Don’t take any chances and be ready to spend a few more days and even weeks traveling into remote areas. Better safe than sorry.

Hunting pressure and large numbers of evacuees fleeing into the wilderness in several regions of the country will send native wildlife fleeing for remote areas where there is a lot less human activity. It is these remote areas that the hunting is likely to be best — especially hunting for bigger game like deer, elk, antelope, and moose.

9. Seek Out Remote Wilderness

The difference between the World War 2 Jews vs survivors from a tyrannical government that may one day come to power today is that the Jews had allied nations that they could flee to. In fact, many fled Europe completely and made it to the U.S. and of course millions had help being relocated to the present-day nation of Israel in the years following World War 2.

If we have to run from a tyrannical government that one day comes to power and enacts martial law, we may not have any allied nations to flee to at all, and so the only real way to survive long term may be to seek out remote wilderness far off the beaten track, well under the cover of forest (gotta hide from those drones), as well as lands shielded by mountains (where there’s no roads, there’s no easy way for armies to move enemy soldiers in and out, putting the odds of escaping the clutches of tyranny and martial law in your favor).

10. Teach the Children

While the history books are being re-written by the new powers that be, while the White House lays in ruin and Lady Liberty is just a scattered mountain of debris and a face laying horizontally across the ground, there will be one book that stands the test of time, with a history that can and should be passed on to children. There may be a lot of debate and some people swear by it and others swear against it — but only in the last pages of the Bible and the many prophecies concerning the End of Days will any of this ever make any sense.

There are several more details on survival when it comes to martial law and being forced into a life of living off the land and living off what you and your family can carry on your backs. Unfortunately, this isn’t fiction and it’s something that has occurred more and more in recent years.

Refugees in war-torn nations (do I need to make a list?) and other nations struck by catastrophic disasters (Haiti, for example) have sent survivors fleeing for the countryside or simply living in the ruins of their towns and villages and large tent cities that have bred crime and corruption along with dangers to women and children — and the fathers and brothers who would otherwise seek to protect them.

Conclusion

In war-torn nations in the modern-day, and regions turned to ruins by natural disasters, many have died from starvation and disease, and others from drinking contaminated water; others have fallen victim to gangs or been killed by rogue armies that have come to power, perhaps enforcing their own version of martial law.

It is a certainty that martial law will come to the US soon and will be followed by the UK, Canada, and the Western Nations. Best to be ready and not caught off guard, when the day comes that martial law is implemented.

Perhaps Jesus said it best when he said:

“Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap; for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth. But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have the strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.” – Luke 21:34-3.

Also, I highly recommend this book to everyone. 300 pages, color, paperback. The Lost Book of Remedies is helping Americans achieve medical self-sufficiency even in the darkest times using the time-tested methods of our grandparents without spending lots of money on toxic drugs and without side effects. A great asset when doctors and hospitals won’t be available anymore. You may not be Claude Davis, but you can make use of his procedures and techniques to increase your chances of survival!

    Useless. Everyone and their gramma are going to go to the countryside. They will meet up with real countryside people who will give them a different sort of “warm welcome”. Also,this post thinks people are going to be in physical shape to do all this running around. Think again

      Just because YOU are going to die on someone else’s terms doesn’t mean that I have to. And, yeah…I’m the guy who lives in the countryside. I’ll be bugging out for the deep woods. This is an EXCELLENT article with top notch advice. It’s not their fault if you can’t follow through.

      Yes. You CAN hide. Your body’s heat signature can be masked from FLIR with the use of emergency blankets (mylar?) and painted or otherwise camouflaged visually. There are even camo suits for sale that protect from just such intrusions into your privacy.
      It is well and good that you place your trust in Jesus. Now that you have that aspect of “survival” down pat, you now have time to consider helping others…which consists of first surviving in order to be available TO help others. This is my plan.

    I agree with Sylvia… totally useless information. I’m 65 years old and REFUSE to crawl on my belly through thick woods, with torn clothing and bloody body, and eat insects like an animal! I’m ready to go and if the Lord calls me home so be it. If you know the Lord, why in the world would you want to live in a ruthless police state, running for the rest of your miserable life?? Not me… God has our days numbered (just like the hair on our head) and when they’re up, they’re up. Survival is not all it’s cracked up to be! Survival at ANY cost is for those not ready to leave.

      This is the attitude you get left with when you’re more afraid of living than dying. Eating bugs? If that’s the extent of your survival skills, it’s well that you’re not afraid to die.
      I’m 60 years old and recently suffered a broken back…but you won’t see me go down without an epic fight. The fact that your days are numbered is NOT an indication that God wants you to disregard the value your life has to HIM. IF you are a Christian, you know that your life doesn’t belong to you. It belongs to God. To throw it away unnecessarily is an insult to your Creator.

    Martial Law survival. Relatively basic tactics. Yet, there is very much the potential to be “caught” in an area under martial law. By “caught” I mean, the signs were there, but STILL, it never seemed apparently possible. Then, one day, there is a check point on the way to work. Moving up to this moment, all applications of ” law enforcement, ie; curfews. extra patrols, etc, all made sense due to increase civil disruptions. NOT civil violence perse’. Rampant increased muggings and the like. And even when reports aired about highjacking trucks in or near your locality, you still held on to the belief, it will die down due to increased “law enforcement”. Afterall, your boss expected you at work. Supermarkets, gas stations, bodega’s, convenient stores, while low, were still operating. And your family never truly saw life the way you do. So you stuck it out, for them. Then comes the first check-point.
    “Driver’s license!”. “where are you going?!.” How often do you take this route? Open your trunk!. What’s the name of your job place? Use this route everday?! What times? How often? Do you have ANY weapons on you right now? What’s in the knapsack?! Got a reason for preparing for a problem?
    Your car gets a once over. You are waved through.
    WHEN/IF this arrives, you WANT to SURVIVE!!!
    If that means playing weak. DO IT!
    DO NOT STARE THEM IN THE EYE! You come across as defiant. You look down until told to look up.
    Speak softly. As best as possible, accord them respect. Don’t ass kiss!!!. Simple and humble Yes Sir No Sir.
    Acting impatient because you will late for work is good. It hides true anxiety, and gives them pleasure of control. You get waved through. Once through. NOW, replay in your mind the faces. The ranks. The number. NOW, replay, how many other ways can you get home? Don’t get to wrapped up trying to answer WHY this happened. It has. Deal with it. Survive.
    Have cash? Find time to buy more food. Canned, dried. Any that will last for a period of time. Cash only.
    Your info taken at the check point will now be run through a data base to see if you crop up as a person of interest. Chances are calling your spouse or kids will be tracked. If up to now, they haven’t agreed with your perspective, their anxiety will get them through and hopefully home later. You can talk and plan then.
    If you make it home okay, take your guns and get them out of the house. IMMEDIATELY. I use the plural assuming many have more then one. You are registered. They will come. It is divide and conquer in action now. Hiding what guns you have means they can be available later. If possible have one you can do without. When they come, surrender it. I have read MANY to the TENTH power who scream this is the act of a coward. They will go down shooting. Bravo.
    Now what happens to your family? With your dead body in the doorway, what will they do to your wife and daughters? When your son(s) resist and protect, down they go next to you. Yeah. Real smart. Ain’t you the symbol of heroism. No songs will be song about how you died a martyr for the cause. You are now just the LOSS of a fighter needed. And surviving martial law is about just that. Staying alive and find others you can join with to FIGHT.
    Act submissive.
    Avoid eye contact.
    Avoid being confrontational if possible.
    Hoarding is already against the law in many states. So make the effort to find some place to stash extra food.
    Maintain a routine, for a while. Don’t arouse interest. Dress down and average. Wear baggier clothing so as to appear you are struggling.
    Keep an CLOSE EYE on neighbors. Some of them will be keeping a CLOSE EYE on your street.
    I HATE cliche’s, but think outside the box when it comes to weapons. Yes. Nothing is as good as a gun. A quality fixed blade knife affixed to a pole is a spear. Easily used in many situations which can be intimidating, as well as lethal.
    Know your area and know ways to get through and out. Allow time to your advantage. If onlyone or two can leave, so be it.
    I could go on for pages. Unlike most of you, I live on Long Island. Big family I won’t leave behind. IF martial law is invoked, I HAVE to survive under martial law until I can get out.
    Consider your own perspective area.

    “Unlike most of you, I live on Long Island. Big family I won’t leave behind. IF martial law is invoked, I HAVE to survive under martial law until I can get out.”
    To quote the fictional character, the Didact, from Halo 4…Time was your ally, human. But now it has abandoned you. The Fallen have returned. This tomb is now yours.
    There IS NO “getting out” once it starts. You’re deluding yourself by thinking you’ll either escape or survive. The time to flee the cities is NOW.
