Its that time of year again. Head to the range and work on your freedom-maintenance skills. This year is 250 years of BFYTW.
“The price of freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness.” ―
But…freedom means other things as well. Being prepared gives you another type of freedom…the freedom from worry, stress, and insecurity. You can starve to death as a perfectly free man. Guns and ammo, absolutely….but the instruments of freedom don’t stop there. Gold, food, land, fuel, information, friends…all are arrows in your quiver. Don’t get pigeonholed into thinking its all about the guns.
I would include fitness as an arrow in that quiver. Age certainly is a factor, but be the strongest and fittest warrior that you can be.
in both the revolution and the war of northern aggression as well as many/most other conflicts, the enemy eventually sought to destroy the food supply. troops travel on their feet, but they fight on their stomach. hungry troops more often than not give up more quickly. don’t give them that weapon.
CZ Speaking of preparedness, have you finished the civil defense manual books yet? Was wondering what your opinion of them was? I don’t know anyone has has gotten them.
Those are excellent books, that was a fine gift.
Just wanted to drop a reminder about the FBI “operation” against the Branch Davidians outside of Waco, Texas on April, 29, 1993.
Concentrated tear gas and other gases led to the asphyxiation and burning to death of 76 people including 28 children.
The scales fell from eyes as I watched the fire on TV.
Unrelated golld is at $3,420 ish. Yawza!
