1. Stick To Major Roads: “Major” is defined as divided highways (freeways and heavily traveled roads with either Jersey Barriers or a dirt berm of some sort separating the directions of traffic). In areas where the original road bed has deteriorated, some sort of unmistakable “center marker” (ie, piled rock wall) that indicates the centerline of said road.
2. Announce Your Presence: By whatever means presents themselves. Radios set to the local preferred CB channel is best, but if the locals have provided a direct line, use it, or if all else fails beat your horn a bit as you cross the marker. )If they are so far away they don’t even know you entered their territory, there is very little you can, or should, do about it- It’s their OWN fault.)
3. Stop At All Checkpoints: Checkpoints are established to ensure the safety of the village, AND EVERYONE WITHIN. this includes YOU.
4. Port Arms: Keep all mounted weaps in plain view, pointed straight ahead and personal weaps slung over the shoulder or holstered.
5. HONESTY: Answer all questions honestly.
6. Slow downDown asAs youYou passPass aA flag:Flag: High speed can be misinterpreted as aggression.
7. Bypasses: When a section of freeway is out of commission, follow the closest side road, and return to the main road as quickly as possible.
8. Use only designated (“authorized”) off-ramps to approach villages, however inconvenient it may be.
9. Approach checkpoint at a slow rate of speed; not more than 15 MPH, or posted, whichever is slower.
10. Use of distress signals shall be permitted and, when used, approach shall be permitted with minimal questions into the visiting outsider area.

1. When two convoys are meeting on the road in a head-to-head situation, both convoys shall come to the right sufficiently to allow the other to pass, at Port Arms, and slow to not more than 15 MPH.
2. When two convoys are approaching one another at a perpendicular angle and a danger of collision exists, the convoy that can see the other’s LEFT SIDE shall yield the right-of-way.

1. Observe, But Maintain Distance: If the travelers are staying to the main roads, don’t even bother stopping them.
2. Mark Your Territory: Plant a flag about 1 mile beyond your territory. This flag is NOT a checkpoint, only an announcement that travelers are getting close to your territory. “Flag” may also be a sign indicated what town is being entered, population, and what, if any CB channels are routinely monitored.
3. Allow Passage: Never deny use of the roads Vehicles staying to the main roads shall be permitted to pass unmolested, provided they remain on the main road (or authorized detours) at port arms. Besides that’s disrespectful, it also creates for them the situation that you may force them to turn around completely, or go way out of their way; If their fuel isn’t planned for that, they might decide it’s worth risking a battle to get through. Therefore, don’t create unnecessary checkpoints. If a major road goes through your territory, leave it clear and obstruction free to the best of your ability.
4. Villagers are obliged to put up necessary cautionary signage (Deer Crossing, Inclines, Bridge Out, etc) within their territory, including authorized off-ramps and detours for disabled sections of the main road. They are NOT obliged to maintain bridges, but may if they so choose.
5. Villagers are permitted to assume hostile intent by any person approaching off a main road unless said parties make every attempt to announce their presence (ie by firing of a gun every minute, circling, use of radios, etc).

1. Limit Questions: Number of people, number of vehicles, where from/where to, presence and nature of any dangerous cargo(s), and what route they are going to use are fair questions you may legitimately need to know the answers to; NEVER ask what they are carrying (unless dangerous cargo is indicated), that’s none of your damned business, and avoid any other question that isn’t your business, and that you don’t need to know. It is ASSUMED all such questions will be reserved for those leaving the main road to approach a village.
2. Set up a checkpoints along authorized off-ramp routes, and inspect vehicles as they go past those points. Checkpoints may be positioned anywhere between the main road and the village to the convenience of the village unless a conflict with necessary detours arises;
3. Maintain Composure: Remember, you are on the defense; They are beyond their wire, YOU have all the advantages here.
4. Use of distress signals shall be permitted and, when used, approach shall be permitted with minimal questions into the visiting outsider area.
5. Approaching travelers, who do NOT maintain the normal rules of the road, unless announced as an armed party well in advance, may be considered as having hostile intent with no questions asked.

Village obligations and rights §5, “Villagers are permitted to assume hostile intent by any person approaching off a main road unless said parties make every attempt to announce their presence (ie by firing of a gun every minute, circling, use of radios, etc).”; Firing of a gun every minute is an international distress signal. ANY distress signal should be treated differently.

1. All vehicles in a given convoy shall, to the greatest extent possible, be decorated in a similar fashion: For example, all the vehicles in a given convoy are painted fire engine red-ish, but with the groups emblem painted on the rear-end of the sides of the vehicles. In this fashion, all vehicles in the convoy look like they “belong” together.
2. All vehicles shall have their normal, amber, light covers replaced with green light covers on the RIGHT side of the vehicle. Any means necessary to accomplish this shall be permissible.
3. All vehicles in a given convoy shall, to the greatest degree possible, have grill mounted or maritime radar installed; The lead vehicle in the convoy shall use said radar at all times, other vehicles MAY do so provided said radar neither interferes with the lead vehicles radar, nor otherwise causes damage, confusing, or injury to the rest of said convoy.
   ●When the convoy shuffles positions, with the “lead” vehicle moving to the rear of the convoy, that vehicle may shut down their radar, and the second vehicle may leave their radar OFF long enough to allow the vehicle that had been in front of them to fall behind them.
