After too many delays and setbacks, we have finally secured our mountain hideaway. we have been slowly building up supplies for it over the last 6 months, and this weekend we will start transferring everything.
The previous owners told us that they had left a lot of hand tools, which was a nice surprise since that is an area that I've sort of overlooked/ignored. Weapons and food are at what we think are comfortable levels, leaving us to focus on first aid and personal hygiene items.
Since seeds seem to be a tender subject lately, I might as well add my opinion. I don't place much value on seeds, we are not set up for for gardening and we have taken 5that into account as we added to our food supplies. Down the road we may add some raised beds, but that's a ways off from now.

Happy New Year !!!!!!!!
All is well here in the south hills of the 'Burgh. I hope everyone has made progress in preparing for any catastrophe we may face in the near future.
I have been spending a lot of time getting our site "B" ready for us and extended family who will probably show up with almost nothing to contribute. I could rant all night about that, but let's just move on to something more positive.
The only area that I seem to be deficient in is our medical supplies and that should be fixed within the first few weeks on the new year.

Amerisafe is awsome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When it comes to computers, I'm pretty much lost. If it wasn't for the template for this website, I wouldn't of ever been able to have this forum.
If I did know what I was doing, I would have designed a site exactly like amerisafe.org.
Making contacts without all of the B.S. on alot of other sites. I definitely recomend joining up.

Our new bug out retreat
We have been talking about getting a place in the mountains for quite sometime, and it now appears to happening in the very near future. It's located about 90 miles from our home so it should be reachable under most circumstances.
This goes against what I've been saying for awhile, I have been very adamant about staying at home, and using my in laws home as a secondary site because of the short distance to our home, they have a well, and for being pretty close to us they would be difficult to find by by anyone not familiar to the area.
It's going to be just like starting over again because I don't want to reduce supplies here at the house, but some stuff will have to be relocated. Weapons and fuel will be the first purchases. I keep 30 gallons of gas here at the house and will probably do the same at the new site. In a perfect world I would have another AR-15 stashed with 4000 rounds, but I think we may have look at less expensive choices.
Food and medical supplies will be the third and fourth priorities and they shouldn't be too hard. I'm always adding to the stockpile, so a few more things here and there will add up in no time.I like where I'm at with the meds so it's just going to be a matter of shuffling things around a bit.

Molle or Lbe
Everyone seems to lean one way or the other when it comes to tactical gear, and I'm finding myself unsure of what would work best.
I have used a molle chest rig and it wasn't too bad.The vest was comfortable to wear and it was easy getting in and out of vehicles.It held 8 mags for the bushmaster, but besides the armor plate, adding anything else would've made me feel a little top heavy.I tried to add a pistol mag pouch to the front, but I think that I'll keep them on my belt.
My govt. issue lbe has been a proven friend, but it also has drawbacks to it. The side mounted pouches tend to catch when getting out of a vehicle and even getting to something on your belt can be troubling when riding in a vehicle.
Sooner or later I guess I'll have to make a decision, but until then I'm going to keep both close by.

Could this be it?
I try not to take alot of what is posted online too seriously, but I feel that if something was to happen, this healthcare vote could be it. i think it's safe to say that we have seen enough from our so-called representatives in D.C. and what they intend to do, no matter what we the people say to them.
My family and I will be watching closely to see what may or may not unfold in the next few days. I hope you all are a the point where you will be able to provide for yourselves and your families in the very near future.

SNOW-MAGEDDON 2010 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope everyone is nice and warm inside there home by now, or in one of the warming centers set up around the county for those without heat. Its been a hell of a day here trying to dig ourselves out from under all of this stuff, and not having any power would not make this situation any better.
It was nice to see the neighborhood pull together today, and work as a team to dig everybody out, and to check on the few elderly neighbors that we do have. Hopefully it anything worse would ever happen, we can come together again and help one another.

Shopping with sheeple
We went to our local grocery store this evening for our monthly big shopping trip. There is a big storm forecasted for tomorrow, so we had a lot of company in the aisles.
Most people around here that "panic" shop, seem to stick to cleaning out the milk, eggs, bread, and of course the jumbo packs of Charmin extra soft, so we stayed away from those aisles to avoid any conflicts over the last gallon of 2%.
The thing that I was surprised at, was the shortage of pizza rolls, and frozen waffles. Of all the things that could be wiped out, pizza rolls and waffles would not rank too high on the list on must haves.
But what if it was switched? Plenty of pizza rolls and waffles, but milk, eggs, bread, and TP were wiped out. It would have been pandemonium at Giant Eagle.

Bugout , My opinions
We spent this past weekend at hunting camp, and it was awesome getting away from the hectic pace of the city. Nobody else around except for a few other people getting their places ready for the next few weekends.
Now if some event would happen that would trigger a mass exodus from the cities to the countryside, I don't know if I would want to be out here with hordes of people running around the countryside armed and hungry and here's why:
1. Where to go? I know, uncle Joe"s hunting cabin, he will keep us safe,and we can shoot deer for food.
2. If uncle Joe's isn't reachable, or your unwelcome, then what?
3. No medical facilities or access to personnel.
4. Leaving home? So are 500,000 of your neighbors
5. Oh no, I forgot.........!!!!!
6. You drive an Accord/ Camry
7. People like Mayberry will also be out on the road
and the list could go on, but let's break these few down.
1. Good idea, make it seem like a camping trip at first instead of a refugee camp, but you won't be alone out in the woods, everyone else with an uncle Joe had the same idea and once all the game is killed off or run off by all of the suburbanites running through the woods and the last can of pork n' beans have been eaten, then what?
2.If you went to your vehicle right now, how much gas is in the tank? Would you have enough to get say, to a preplanned destination that was about 80 miles away, but with detours that could double your travelling time and idling in traffic will eat up what you have in the tank. Don't forget if you reach your destination, it could be under new management with no reservation for you.
3. Now I know everyone out there has superduper first aid kit, able to treat any type of injury on FEMA/NWO virus out there, but being close to some type of medical facility or personnel would a better option than relying on some farmers wife with a jar of elderberry extract and garlic oil. On our street, I know of at least four Rn's that I could count on for any emergency.
4. Imagine rush hour, and then multiply it at least four. Thousands of cars heading out of the city, with no real destination in mind. they just want out. See ya later. Personally I wouldn't mind if most of my neighbors left. It's not that I don't like them, but that leaves a lot of empty houses to go through picking over what they had left. Just like Walmart, but with better prices.
5. "Honey, I left your blood pressure medicine in the bathroom!" That could be just the beginning. It's 53 degrees in the burgh today, but who knows what next week will bring. Did you bring winter clothing even though your in a t-shirt now? How about that .45 auto you keep in the lock box under your bed? Extra ammo and mags?
6. In a perfect world we would all have an F-250 CREW CAB 4X4 with an 8' bed standing by gassed up and ready to go in a moments notice. Since this is the real world I know a lot of you are probably not in that situation and are driving something a little smaller. Do a load out exercise to see if you can fit all of your essential cargo in your vehicle.
7. Road rage with guns. People with a chip on their shoulder, and think the whole world is out to get them. This is why, out of all the reasons that I have mentioned, this one to me poses the biggest risk to you and your families safety.
These are just my opinions. If they help you in any way with your planning, let me know.

Train load of military vehicles
At about 1015 today in the southside of Pgh, I saw a train roll through with about 2-300 hummers on it. They were all hard top models with armored gun turrets, but none of them had any bumper markings. Does anybody know of where these things are being built?

American Police Force
Well there"s been some talk of this "mercenary army "taking over a town in Montana, but it's all just a big scam by some con man from California with a record dating back to the mid eighties. So don't get all excited by this like some people. It will be old news in a week or two.

G20 march
I went into town around 1230 to pick up the wife at work. Nothing was happening yet, but the city was ready for them and anything else that might happen. Duquesne University had police in riot gear at the entrances on Forbes Ave. and Mercy hospital had more police there than I've ever seen there out front.That vehicle with the big speaker on top was parked on the riverside of the Armstrong tunnel right up from the county jail.
As we were leaving, I drove a few blocks down 5th Ave. and a lot of the locals had chairs set out on the sidewalk, like they were waiting for the fourth of July parade. Only in Pittsburgh.

Gun show this weekend
This Saturday and Sunday there is a show at the Washington county fairgrounds. I prefer this show to the one in Greensburg, they do seem to have the same vendors at both, but Washington is bigger. Check out the link for directions and hours. I'll see you there on Sunday.
