First off, let me explain my reasons for writing this and tell you a bit about my experiences. That way you will know what I say is the truth. I served for 15 years in the British Army, serving during the 1990’s in Yugoslavia, Bosnia, and Kosovo and saw firsthand what happens to human nature and society when everything goes to hell. As for my reasons, I’m somewhat tired of people painting a rosy picture of what they expect might happen in the event of a major terrorist attack, civil emergencies or severe natural disasters.
Don’t get me wrong. They have been planning for SHTF with impeccable plans for food, shelter, and similar but seem to think everyone will still remain fairly well behaved and keep observing rules of “polite society”. So in a way, this is a thesis of human nature. Will it offend? I hope not. Will it shock? I hope so if what I write makes one person revise a plan and as a result, saves a life or the lives of a family. Then it will have been well worth the time taken to type this.
Now, in the event of ANY situation where the Emergency Broadcasting System goes into action for real, the accepted policy of both law enforcement and the military is a policy of containment, not suppression. In other words, if a specific area has something bad happen, the National Guard and police will cordon off the area with roadblocks and road closures, thereby putting a crimp in any plans some may have of “bugging out” unless they have alternative routes laid out that avoid major bridges and roads leading out of the affected area. Also on this topic, don’t be too surprised to see police and military helicopters used to patrol areas of ground too rough to drive over to watch for people heading out of the affected area on foot. These helicopters carry FLIR (Forward Looking Infra-Red) imaging systems and can pick out body heat or see, even in total darkness.
3 Superfoods That Cost Almost Nothing To Make And Will Keep You And Your Family Well Fed No Matter What Happens.
One was praised as the great depression “food miracle”. The people that knew about it banished hunger for good…while the rest where starving and tightening their belts! Not only that you will learn the exact process of making it the right way, but you’ll use it to preserve meat in it and create one of the most finger-licking, mouth-watering tastiest foods you’ll ever eat. And the best part? It lasts up to two whole years without refrigeration.
The other food was also long-lasting. Invented by one of the most vicious samurais in history, it was born out of war and necessity. So don’t expect a gourmet meal here – but do expect this “samurai superfood” to be so nutrient rich and probiotic-packed that you and your entire family won’t need anything else for months on end.
With these 3 superfoods alone, you’ll probably have a complete stockpile in your group and you’ll never need to depend on anyone else in times of crisis. Watch the video below and learn more.
Most major road arteries will be closed and patrolled by law enforcement and National Guard elements will have orders to stop, search and detain or turn back anyone they find. So, plan your routes well, have at least 3 routes out, and make sure you go for a drive and check them out on a regular basis.

This brings me to the part I saved for last as it brings back some very unpleasant memories of seeing it firsthand and the after effects. If everything goes south and SHTF how would a pillager or looter choose or find targets?
- They will listen for sounds of hand tools or engines were used.
- They’ll smell things like wood smoke or cooking.
- At night, they’ll look for lights because this usually means life.
- They’ll have a scanner to listen for insecure radio traffic from things like walkie-talkies.
- They will use optical devices day and night to look for movement, especially near water sources or woods.
Once a group like this finds you, expect to be scouted. This might take the form of an observation post or a probe if the group is big enough. They would look for things like:
- How many people are in the home or community?
- How many weapons do they have and what type?
- How many defenders are there?
- Who seems to be in charge
- Does the target have any patrols or regular movements that can be expected?
- Do they have any defensive emplacements or dogs?
When it is deemed time, an attack will first target any leader or owners of any heavier weapons. If they can get close enough, any defensive structures will get a petrol bomb, grenade or CS gas canister was thrown into it. (Yeah you can buy CS gas grenades online for general sale.) Any lone defenders will be isolated and eliminated. However, if things are not going well, any first group will draw off and wait and watch how the defenders respond. A large number of injured take up much more resources and will lower morale. If numbers are in their favor, the attacker will encircle the position and try and eliminate a few defenders any chance they get.
Survival Secrets Revealed…!
Hardtack. The Ancient Romans had them. Nelson’s troops kept barrels of them in their naval vessels. And these cracker-like squares were a staple ration for American soldiers on both sides of the Civil War.
Though they’re called different things in different cultures, this basic recipe has been a staple for militaries around the world for centuries. Made of flour and water, and sometimes a bit of salt or sugar, they are sturdy, filling and will last a long time if kept dry. Indeed, some soldiers kept a few as souvenirs after the war, and they are commonly on display in Civil War museums over 150 years later. Click the video and learn a new Lost Ways free recipe.
A good counter plan, if you have a defensive position setup is to make sure you have a trench or something similar with a grenade sump and make sure every person in your group has a gas mask on them at all times. Also, make sure any building has firefighting equipment for flammable liquids. If worst comes to the worst and a fighting retreat is needed to avoid losing everything you own except what you have on you, pre-pack a backpack of equipment with something like this:
- Personal first aid kit
- Spare magazines, ammo, and cleaning kit
- Personal survival equipment
- Full change of clothes
- Food and water
This gives you the basics to survive if you were to be driven out of your shelter or structure. The list is by no means comprehensive but gives you a general idea.
I can’t stress this enough, but in the event of any major SHTF event, an awful lot of people won’t make it simply because they are unable to think outside the comfort zone of the “rules of civilized society”. A large percentage of people will suddenly find themselves without the protection of society and will no longer be at the top of the food chain. There will be people out there who will prey upon them without remorse for what they feel they need to survive. I hope to hell I’m wrong, but I’ve seen and heard this happening before and it isn’t pretty.
In the event that starving looters come to your neighborhood, you cannot count on getting any warning in advance. Many of these protests are ongoing and are being coordinated to intentionally surprise residents in typically calm and tranquil areas.
Many groups have openly expressed their intentions to “bring things to a halt” until fill-in-the-blank demands are met. In other words, they’re willing to hold you and other ordinary citizens hostage in order to get what they want.
The best thing you can do to protect your loved ones is to create a comprehensive crisis plan, one that will be useful in any emergency, natural or man-made.

The Most Comprehensive Book Available
Our grandfathers had more knowledge than any of us today and thrived even when modern conveniences were not available. They were able to produce and store their food for long periods of time. All the knowledge our grandfathers had, in one place.Here’s just a glimpse of what you’ll find in the book:
The Lost Ways is a far-reaching book with chapters ranging from simple things like making tasty bark-bread-like people did when there was no food to building a traditional backyard smokehouse… and much, much, much more!
Discover how to survive: Most complete survival tactics, tips, skills and ideas like how to make pemmican, snowshoes, knives, soap, beer, smokehouses, bullets, survival bread, water wheels, herbal poultices, Indian roundhouses, root cellars, primitive navigation, and much more at The Lost Ways
Here’s just a glimpse of what you’ll find in The Lost Ways:
From Ruff Simons, an old west history expert, and former deputy, you’ll learn the techniques and methods used by the wise sheriffs from the frontiers to defend an entire village despite being outnumbered and outgunned by gangs of robbers and bandits, and how you can use their wisdom to defend your home against looters when you’ll be surrounded.
Native American ERIK BAINBRIDGE – who took part in the reconstruction of the native village of Kule Loklo in California, will show you how Native Americans build the subterranean roundhouse, an underground house that today will serve you as a storm shelter, a perfectly camouflaged hideout, or a bunker. It can easily shelter three to four families, so how will you feel if, when all hell breaks loose, you’ll be able to call all your loved ones and offer them guidance and shelter? Besides that, the subterranean roundhouse makes an awesome root cellar where you can keep all your food and water reserves year-round.
From Shannon Azares you’ll learn how sailors from the XVII century preserved water in their ships for months on end, even years and how you can use this method to preserve clean water for your family cost-free.
Mike Searson – who is a Firearm and Old West history expert – will show you what to do when there is no more ammo to be had, how people who wandered the West managed to hunt eight deer with six bullets, and why their supply of ammo never ran out. Remember the panic buying in the first half of 2013? That was nothing compared to what’s going to precede the collapse.
From Susan Morrow, an ex-science teacher and chemist, you’ll master “The Art of Poultice.” She says, “If you really explore the ingredients from which our forefathers made poultices, you’ll be totally surprised by the similarities with modern medicines.” Well…how would you feel in a crisis to be the only one from the group knowing about this lost skill? When there are no more antibiotics, people will turn to you to save their ill children’s lives.
If you liked our video tutorial on how to make Pemmican, then you’ll love this: I will show you how to make another superfood that our troops were using in the Independence war, and even George Washington ate on several occasions. This food never goes bad. And I’m not talking about honey or vinegar. I’m talking about real food! The awesome part is that you can make this food in just 10 minutes and I’m pretty sure that you already have the ingredients in your house right now.
Really, this is all just a peek.

Sounds like things are going to get pretty complicated. I guess people will think more clearly and move faster when their stomach is empty. I think the people who make it will be the exceptions under such circumstances.
Seems like it would be much less effort and more successful to just join the mob.

What magazines, Playboy, Popular Mechanics, Vanity Fair or Better Home and Gardens would be the best ones to have packed and ready to take in a quick bug out scenario?
Spare “magazines” = spare ammo, Good Earth magazines, Popular Mechanics. . .forget the Playboy. . .
Do not forget, anyone located in a relatively unpopulated, rural area has a MUCH better chance than those in the city. Do the best you can to find a place where you can live in a rural countryside.
Having spent 12 years in various Nations of Latin America; sometimes ALL WAS WELL, sometimes NOT SO WELL…Several times I dealt with REAL COMMUNIST RADICALS, [once nearly kidnapped], and once just up stairs, while the “Communist BLOCK SECURITY” in “Barrios Benty Trace Enero”, (The 23rd of January Barrios), [in a mountain surrounding Caracas Venezuela]…and also I had the interesting experience of being hauled into “La Prisao Do Los Desesperadoes”, [roughly: “The Prison of the ‘DISAPPEARED ONES’….”you go in, but few come out, and no one’s there, if anyone asks…which they RARELY do”, (was our Brazilian Translator’s explanation of where an “ANTI-TERROR S.W.A.t.T. TEAM” were taking all 27 of us Non- Denominational, (young) Missionaries…So, while not NEARLY KOSOVO…I DO know something about a Nation that’s collapsing slowing into Communism,[generally AKA: “Socialism”]…And EVERYTHING the writer above speaks to, I HEARD from 1st hand victims, OR some who weathered the storm. It AIN’T “fun’N games”!
The ONE option the author didn’t mention is PREPS for IMMEDIATE “E & E”: {ESCAPE & EVADE}…Which REALLY translates into having one vehicle, (both is best), the “Bug Out Bag”…Totally packed so that it’ll only take minutes to leave a location that is VERY LIKELY to turn deadly QUICKLY….(such as near a “inner City” area, OR a “WELFARE COMMUNITY”, where they ALL only live Check by check, and drugs, booze & sex!)…
There are several outstanding “indicators”, throughout ANY area, that will alert you that your location CAN & WILL TURN NASTY FAST…no matter HOW tranquil it might seem now:
#1] RADIO / INTERNET reporters warning of SOCIAL UPHEAVAL in said area:
#2] Lots of “street people roaming around as if lost…OR…congregating at large intersections, [think “L.A. Riots”…and the Trucker dragged out of his truck & nearly beaten to death ON FILM!
#3] MUCH MORE than normal POLICE activity! (By THIS TIME you’re VERY POSSIBLY ALMOST or ACTUALLY ARE too late to get out, UNLESS you have back streets to use THAT DO NOT GO THROUGH POOR NEIGHBORHOODS!!!)
#4] If you DO wait too long, (1 hr. at MAX is you “open window”)…Then HUNKER DOWN, & [I PRAY] that you’ve “PREPPED” enough, & studied “URBAN SURVIVAL TACTICS” enough, to make it for a month or two…

ABOVE ALL, PRAY WITHOUT CEASING ALWAYS, LISTEN & OBEY HIS SPIRIT’S GUIDANCE, & TRUST THE LORD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART, & LEAN NOT TO THEY OWN UNDERSTANDING…”; Proverb 3: 5 – 6 AND 2: 1 – 9!!!

OOPS! Forgot to finish my “23rd Enero” story: the “BLOCK SECURITY” came to learn WHY a “GRINGO” was visiting that house…(the ENTIRE neighborhood was COMMUNIST controlled). FORTUNATELY the owner & my TEAMMATE were able to explain that we were just students…no harm, no foul! WHEW!…It COULD have been a VERY BAD WEEK for me!…The Lord protects HIS own!
What the looters and bad guys wont count on if they try and ambush and fail, is ,if your organized and ready for battle , defend your position with great authority and after the looters decide to leave , track them, see where they live , wait and take them out….
