Hello all, as you can see by the handle i am a constitutionalists. i spent time in the service of defending our great country as a 11b/c o5b, o5c, 36k. i am a prepper and a "Oathkeeper". when I took the Oath, like many of you, i thought of it as a formality. as i progressed with my career in the army i found out what the oath really meant to me. when i ets'ed out of the service i looked high and low for other like minded people that took the oath seriously. to no avail, there were no organizations out there until after katrina. during katrina i was floored as to what i was seeing on the news and youtube reports. thanks to stewart rohodes he started otherkeepers in the aftermath of katrina....i found a home.
My mindset on prepping; all peoples of the US were told that you should have supplies up to 72 hours, after that you could rely on the government to help there after...yes of course i fell into that bs line. after katirna i knew it was my duty to make sure that my household had enough supplies to go at least two weeks. it became more of a obsession after that, now my household has one year of supplies of food, water, med's, firewood on hand and everyone has 2 weeks of bugout rations and knows of three way to purify water. we have three area's to bugout to and three different ways to get there with supplies buried along each route marked on maps and gps way points. i was able to get 5 families on our block to prep as well, if all came to the worst and a bugout could not be done, we all agreed to meet at one specific home. this home could store our rations and it is defensible. I could go into this later on another thread on the forum.
Firearms; all family members (of age) that can handle firearms safely should have what i call the basic load.
1. Long Rifle (1K rds)
2. Battle Rifle (20k rds)
3. Shotgun (300 rds)
4. Hand gun (2k rds)
5. 22lr (as much as we can store)
6. slingshot
Everyone must practice once a month.....
so this is who i am and what i am
I am looking forward to learning from you and the forum and making contributions when i can.
