First off – I appreciate the support. I’m very excited about how things are developing. Over the past several week’s things have been slow in the member area, however, that will change VERY soon. I have numerous downloads to add and several movies and TV shows to upload. I also have several posts to publish for the member-only blog.
Files have been being added to the download area and will continue to do so.
I’ve been posting my American Exit Strategy updates to the regular feed. These are only visible to members and they can be identified as they have “PRIVATE” next to the title.
As a sample of some of the “prepper” entertainment available – here is the first episode of Jericho:
This episode is fully downloadable.
There are tons of other movies and TV shows.
Joining is simple and runs $5 per month – or $50 for a full year. Click HERE if interested.
I truly appreciate the support.

A quick reminder that for members there is a separate members-only blog. It can be seen HERE or if logged in the posts will appear on the front page with the word “PRIVATE” in the title(as seen below).
“Cool people only……” 🙂

This post is going out to all those who have joined the Patriot Brigade Membership Area and are offering their support for what we are doing here. I’m making this a public post as I’m not sure all members realize a completely separate blog is now available in the membership area and also to share what is happening back their deep in the bunker.
A few updates:
The above are the main updates from over the past few weeks.
PLANS:
$5 per month or $50 per year. In my humble opinion, it’s a bargain.
Take care all! Thanks for the support!!

I will be attending Prepper Camp 2021 this weekend. This will be my first one and hope to see some familiar faces there.
On Saturday I will be walking around with a 1776PatriotUSA.com shirt on. Important to note is there may be more than one guy with this shirt on so just remember I’m the manly, good-looking one.
Hope to see you there!!!!
Rourke
A quick note to say I’ve been super busy at work as well as some traveling over this past weekend so I’ve been a bit absent. I’ll be catching up soon and posting much-needed and planned content.
Hope everyone is safe and staying as positive as possible in these insane times.
Take care –

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I’ve been AFK(away from keyboard) as work has been crazy. I am going on vacation next week to Maine and have been trying to get things at work taken care of. My goal while in Maine is to chill out, relax, and yes – work on website stuff. It’s what I enjoy and when you are on vacation you should do things you enjoy…..right?
Any purchases made from the 1776 Survival & Preparedness Store will be shipped when I return next weekend. Appreciate the support.
I’ll be chiming in on some recent events very soon.
Take care all.

Appreciate all the support as so many of you have joined the Patriot Brigade. Those who joined initially may find their membership ending after 30 days. There was a glitch in the system which didn’t allow for reoccurring month-to-month memberships. This has been fixed. Need to re-up? Click HERE.
In case you are not familiar with what this Patriot Brigade is about – a summary:
This is a special membership area of this website which joining helps support the work we do here – all for less than .20 cents per day. Many have asked what they could do to help – this is it!!
As many are probably wondering what mysterious and secretive things will be awaiting those who pull the trigger and sign up to provide support – it’s going to be awesome!!
Here are some details of what’s included:
American Exit Strategy: I’ll continue to document our progress to become debt-free, live simply, save money – and move into the woods on our own homestead. Being as self-reliant and self-sufficient as possible while simply being happy living a simple life is our goal. If you want to know more about what an American Exit Strategy is – check out this article.
Downloads: A variety of downloads will continue to be offered on a regular basis. There will be an emphasis on what I consider to be more rare and likely “radical” information. This information must be placed behind a “wall” to keep the thought police at bay. Over 100GB’s of downloads will be available.
Example above……..
I will provide links to groups of information that can be downloaded all at once. This is taking some time to put together. I recently purchased a software package allowing easy navigation through the many files. Basically – tens of thousands of files available to download.
Digital Movies: Downloadable digital movies will continue throughout 2021. Early on movies with a “survival” storyline will be offered up and this will continue along with some comedies, adventure – and maybe even a horror or suspense thriller. Have a movie you would like in digital format? Let me know.
I look at digital movies and TV shows as a part of my digital preparedness library. Entertainment is an important part of maintaining morale. I have hundreds(maybe thousands) to share.
Audio Books: I’ve prepared numerous prepper-related audiobooks for download. This took a substantial amount of work and expense(special software) and was originally something I planned to offer as a $5/month Tier 2 over on Patreon. These will be included with the Patriot Brigade membership.
Life: Insight into Rourke’s life shared nowhere else. Yeah – exciting! Maybe…… 🙂
[slideshow_deploy id=’14661′]
Reviews, Opinions, and Information: I’ll continue to provide reviews, thoughts, and commentary on a variety of supply items and topics. I’ll keep it short and sweet and stick to the important details.
The Patriot Brigade is a continuous work in progress. While there is lots of stuff over there now, there will be so much more added in the days and weeks ahead.
Want to join? It’s only $5 per month. Less than 20 cents a day? Not bad. Click HERE to support what we do here!!
UPDATE 5/20/21: I’ve added quite a bit of content which can all be accessed by members HERE.
Numerous movies such as I Am Legend, Day After Tomorrow, and Red Dawn – among others – are available as part of the membership. Most are all related to survival in one way or another. New movies as well as TV shows added frequently.
An exclusive look into our lives as we work towards our American Exit Strategy occupies a very special place within the depths of the Patriot Brigade. The challenges and experiences of living in a camper are fully explored. How we prep and deal with limited space are covered. Where will our journey take us? We will see.
The download section is fully operational. New files are uploaded weekly and I’m working on a system to download multiple files all at one time. The largest digital preparedness library on the internet is located here. Still growing.
Exclusive articles and downloadable tools are available.
Much more is coming soon and even more planned.
Thanks all.

MeWe is a growing social media platform with a huge emphasis on user privacy and free speech. Unlike Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and many others MeWe is placing user privacy and their ability to say what they want at the forefront of their service.
For those of us who wish to network with like-minded folks and express our opinions on things – MeWe appears to be the ideal platform. MeWe does not sell access to its users. This is a big plus.
As I have been looking for alternatives to Facebook specifically. MeWe has really been a pleasure to work with. I’ve set up a 1776PatriotUSA.com MeWe Group and have had quite a few join up. If you are interested in joining up, follow this link. If for some reason that link doesn’t work – try this one: 1776PatriotUSA.com MeWe Group
With the most recent attacks on the 2nd Amendment and Constitutional freedoms – MeWe is a great alternative.
MeWe can be used on cell phones as well as computers.
Some of you may say, “I told you so.” Oh well, live and learn. My efforts to expand out on Patreon have led to receiving notification that I am in violation of their “Community Standards.” There were several reasons provided after requesting a detailed explanation over and over again. The one most critical and simply not being able to be fixed is that my linking from Patreon to this website – 1776PatriotUSA.com – and linking back to my Patreon – is somehow a violation. While there is content on Patreon similar to mine I was targeted regardless.
In about two weeks I will launch a membership-area here on 1776. Those that wish to support our efforts, and be part of a very special community can join up for $5 per month. I am working hard getting everything set up including multiple methods of payment and some excellent member-only content to get started with. I am excited and looking forward to it. All content from Patreon will be transferred to the member-area.
In retrospect, I should have done this to start with. These are interesting times and navigating them with like-minded folks will have advantages.
Stay tuned for more information.
Rourke
With Big Tech declaring war against free speech, the 2nd Amendment, and those of us considered “patriotic” I’ve made the decision to change some things here. I make no secret that I have 1776 and other websites as a secondary stream of income. As companies such as Amazon target those who have opinions and beliefs like mine, my continued support of those companies just cannot continue.
Amazon is a major part of my income. As people click on links and make purchases I can a few pennies per dollar spent at no additional cost to the consumer. Over the years it’s worked well – until now.
There are certainly alternatives to Amazon and other companies I am choosing to distance myself from. While these companies actively target freedom-loving Americans they also do an excellent job providing the services they offer. Replacing them is not easy. If I cannot replace them and keep the support coming in then 1776PatriotUSA.com will go the way of the Tasmanian Tiger.
It’s going to take a couple of months at least to get everything set up and changed over. I’ll continue to use Amazon as both a consumer and publisher until I get have replacements. I’ll provide updates along the way.
One way of providing support for what we do here is to join the 1776 Patreon. There are two tiers – $1 per month or $5 per month. Additional member-only content is available to members. Click HERE for more information.
Another way to provide support is via donation. Buy us a Cup of Coffee each month. Click HERE for more information.
Stay tuned…..
Rourke
Over on Patreon, we provide a variety of benefits for only $1 per month. One of which includes downloadable digital movies several times per month. Many of these have a survival/preparedness backstory of some kind – while others do not.
Here is a list of movies that have been provided download links thus far:
– 2012
– Cast Away
– Predator
– THEM!
– The Shallows
– First Blood
– Outbreak
– I am Legend
– The Day After Tomorrow
– Tremors
– Red Dawn
– Jericho Episode 1
– War of the Worlds
– Jurassic World(2015)
These can be found using the search function on Patreon.
Remember – you can download these and watch on your phone, tablet, computer – and even place them on a USB drive, insert into most TVs – and watch on the big screen. Perfect for building a digital entertainment library.
A new one will be posted later today for members
Rourke
Regular posting has resumed albeit at a lesser scale. Daily posts will likely not occur, however, 2-3 posts per week are possible. While 1776PatriotUSA.com has always been a preparedness website with a decent amount of politics and current events, the direction is going to change just a bit. You may notice the tagline just under the title has changed. It now currently reads, “Rational Thoughts on Preparing for Systemic Failure”.
Think about that term – “systemic failure”. While many of us focus on concerns for economic collapse, EMP, or some other apocalyptic event, the reality is they all have a common theme – systemic failure. This basically means a mass interruption to the power grid, supply chains, communications, and governmental services.
Here’s the theory: If you are prepared for systemic failure you are pretty much prepared for everything – including the infamous zombie apocalypse.
I’ll continue to publish similar content with an emphasis on independence, being as self-reliant as possible, and minimizing exposure to the overreaching effects of government.

Testing: Doing some testing this weekend on the Freedom Ordnance FX-9 9mm carbine from Classic Firearms. Fun gun!
Garden: Will complete the addition of 4-5 raised beds in the garden, add soil, and plant some veggies.
Democrats and the MSM: These folks have completely lost their mind. Maxine Watters says 700 billion people will lose health care under the Republican health care bill. Interesting is the fact there are not 700 billion people on the planet. CNN busted for #fakenews and placing ratings over the truth. The Sheeple will continue to watch and become indoctrinated into the fairytale world of Progressivism.
