John Schneider, aka Bo Duke from the tv series Dukes of Hazard, comments on the 2020 Presential Election.
Calm response using logic and commonsense.
One disagreement I’ll have with John is his opinion that we should just wait. Protesting is as American as apple pie. If I get my chance I will voice my concerns, my outrage, and demand action. I will stand on a street, waving an American flag – and state my grievance. Looking for opportunities now.

The Patriot Nurse comes unraveled in her discussion of how the Left is becoming more radical and violent and what a possible future may bring us. She does an excellent job providing specific examples of how those that accuse American Patriots of being the hate mongers and having violent tendencies – when reality is quite different.
Finishing her discussion with logical advice on how to counter this growing movement and potential threat.
My Take: She is right on the money. The survival of our country has been and is continuing to be threatened not only by those with a different opinion on fundamental political beliefs but by those who wish to extinguish anyone who doesn’t believe what they believe. The Patriot Nurse comments something about she has no desire to work with or to compromise with these radical Progressives. I agree. Right is right – and wrong is wrong. We should not willingly compromise to a wrong position. Period.
One of many firearms on my wishlist is the Beretta CX4 Storm. Available in a few different calibers my preference would be 9mm. I just left my LGS and handled one of these unique weapons. It is extremely compact and felt very lightweight.
Hoping to get a new gun cabinet for Christmas which I will have no choice but to fill up. The Beretta CX4 Storm is a viable candidate.

I used to own a Marlin Camp 9 9mm carbine and really enjoyed it. The carbine length barrel would zip that 9mm bullet downrange with a bit more oomph. Even out to 75-100 yards it was a ball hitting soda cans and milk jugs.
At my local gun shop – Nichol’s Store – I spotted the CZ Scorpion EVO 3 9mm carbine. I mistakenly thought it was a Sig MPX but soon discovered my error. I took a look and really liked how it felt. As an “All–American Gun Nut“ would love to add this to my collection. With the folding stock reminds me a bit of the AR-180 concept as far as storability and concealment.

The following video is from the popular YouTube channel “The Patriot Nurse“. It has been shared quite a bit and answers the common question as to what antibiotics need to be stored. Reader “Jon” recently asked the question this video answers.
Beyond just having the stored antibiotics knowing how to use them is next. Go to Drugs.com and print out the information for each antibiotic stored and put away for future reference.

A little while back I mentioned that when putting together an AR stripped lower I used YouTube to assist with assembly. Laying out all the required parts on a table along with a laptop and then following a build video step by step makes everything extremely simple.
Here is an example of one such video. There are many to choose from on YouTube.

SouthernPrepper1 voices his opinion on 9th District Court concealed carry decision, Hillary Clinton, Patriots being targeted by the government and politicians taking a stand.
David suggests NOT flying the American flag until the Constitution is restored. Not sure I agree with that though I understand where he is coming from. Flying a different flag than that which most people are familiar with could draw unwanted attention. I could see the black Gadsden flag being looked at as some crazy terrorism symbol by neighbors.
How about the Betsy Ross flag?

Here is a video from last weekend when Prepper Ralph and I took a firearms class from Wolf-Fire Firearms. I cannot emphasize how much I get out of these classes. Many mistakes are made – which allows for learning and correction. Each class I have taken I surprise myself with how much better I do with the next one.
You’ll have to excuse me at 2:12.

I’ve watched this apocalyptic/SHTF movie several times and have enjoyed it. Overall seemed to be a pretty realistic depiction of what could transpire during a similar event. When discussed on other websites and on forums I often see a lot of criticism of it being unrealistic and pointing out all the mistakes people make. That is what makes it more genuine as most people will not be prepared and will make mistakes.
Thanks to BiblesNBarbells for posting it. Not sure how long it will stay up so watch when you can.

What follows is a video series from SouthernPrepper1. SP1 has a great Youtube channel offering up tons of valuable information. He is ex-military and shares a lot of information to help those of us who never served. I took particular interest in his Minuteman series as I believe this country needs as many Minutemen as possible.
It is unfortunate that I foresee the need for Minutemen in the future – possibly a repeat of their role back in the late 1700’s.
SouthernPrepper1 also co-wrote a book with author Mark Goodwin – Retreat Security and Small Unit Tactics.
Did you hear about those evil militia people in Oregon taking over a Federal building? Me neither – the truth is quite different from what you will hear on the MSM or read in the papers. The reality is an incredible injustice has been done to the Hammond’s in the name of the Federal government and the corrupt Bureau of Land Management(BLM).
I have done quite a bit of research on this situation and it is complicated. For decades the BLM has been harassing the Hammond’s to acquire their land and the Hammond’s have resisted. I am not going to get into all the details but here is a brief summary:
The Hammond’s – father and son – were convicted of an illegal fire on Federal lands. The truth is they were performing a controlled burn for fire hazard control and the fire moved over onto Federal land. The Hammond’s did put the fire out. Although the land was actually improved the BLM took advantage of the opportunity and charged them. A judge sentenced the son to 12 months in jail and the father 3 months – along with fines of $400,000. They served their time and were released.
A Federal judge has now “re-sentenced” the Hammond’s to serve the minimum 5 year sentence for the “terrorism” charge they were convicted of. Insanity. The BLM is still going after the Hammond’s.
At this point 3 brothers from the Cliven Bundy family and reportedly 100-150 members of a militia have squatted at a Federal Wildlife Reserve – which is not manned by employees. The group is protesting not only the resentencing of the Hammond’s but the overreaching of the BLM for decades.
The video below(thanks JohnP) shows the local Fire Chief where this incident is taking place resigning from his job due to local government corruption.
When I look at all the details, the years of harassment and abuse – I understand why the Bundy’s and the militia got involved. The Hammond’s father is 73 years old and is now serving close to 5 years in prison. For what?
Ridiculous.

For many – including myself – the need to buy land and create a retreat/homestead/getaway is felt down to the core. Money – or lack thereof is the most common reason why it doesn’t happen. I came across this video from Becky’s Homestead with some suggestions on how to reach your goal with very little money.
Although the title suggests no money is needed obviously landowners are not lining up to give away their land. I have read the book Dirt-Cheap Survival Retreat and the author makes some similar suggestions. In the right circumstances it does work.
