Bushcraft, Gurilla tactics, Common Sence, and Trustworthy Friends
May 4 2010, 2:51 AM EDT | Post edited: May 4 2010, 2:51 AM EDT
Hey guys, been forever, been learning much more while I've been away. Hope alls good with ya. OK now for the good stuff. I've put together a list of tools for survival, granted it would need to be carried in a vehicle for everything to be transported, but thats fine. I got the idea from the non zombie movie RED DAWN. For those who havent seen it, its WWIII when the russians and cubans invade America. A group of middle and highschoolers excape town, hit a shop that had basic gear. The owner is the father of one of the kids (lucky). They head for the mountains and woods. They stay there for a year maybe. Now, it wouldnt take much to tweak this list for Zombie wars, but the general idea is survival first, fighting second. I'm planning to head to Pecos, New Mexico. It has a freshwater spring, bass river, indian caves (I'm part cherrokee, chawtaw, apache and blackfoot for trivia), big game, basically everything youd ever need. All you need is a little bit of training, I learned alot from the sites of www.wildwoodsurvival.com and www.m4040.com . I allready know that I have friends thatll head that way in case the Sh^t hits the fan be it zombies, terrorists, war, whatever senario you like.

Mostly the plan is pick out a good camp ground and camp. Boiled down thats what it is. If I gotta deal with the occasional peckerhead looking to scrap, thats fine. Itll be rough terrain for zombies to walk let alone climb. I could imagine alot just falling off a cliff, but I'm set to deal with the ones that doesnt fall.

Now for my credentials: I am proficient in CQC bladed combat, weapons of choice kukri,bowie,machete, but doesnt mean I cant use something else like a tomahawk or axe. I have a 98.8% sniping accuracy, stationary and moving targets at several hundred meters with a good scope. I am a trapper and I can rig traps for zombies like a pigsnare wich can double to get food. (pigsnare, the thing the rock got caught in in the rundown)

Can you navigate? Do you know how to track, hide your own trail? Find the essentials: water, food, shelter, fire? Can you gut an animal without spoiling the meat? Do you know how to negotiate? What is your transportation? Will you travel alone? You're being much too weapon centric in this description. It doesn't tell us anything.

In real life, your skill isn't measured by numbers. You can't arbitrarily slap 98.8% onto something and expect it to mean anything.

I can use a handgun and shoot 12 targets in 4.3 seconds, (I trained with an army vet, this does not include reload time but just drawing the pistol, aiming, fireing, and reholstering) I gain my night vision in 5 minutes, yes I timed it. I heal from 2nd degree burns in 10 days, Caught my hand on fire once, I cried. And my friends say, and keep this in mind its just what my friends say, That in the woods or jungle, I am the LAST person you want to fight. I can make hunting poisons for darts, (blowgun). I'd be happy to give how to's if asked.

Time for that list I mentioned, would it be appropriate to put it here or what? Its been years since I've been so I dont know my way around much anymore on this site. I'd be waiting till I get the greenlight to post it or where I need to post it. The list isnt concrete, you can substitute your own gear if youd like, I use a mosin nagant, you might use a M4. No biggie, use whats comfortable. I like Revolvers, they dont jam, I'm also partial to the 1911 .45 acp but its not on the list because it has magazines that can screw up. I wont need to give details on the guns right yet because its all written down, where to get them, the name, and price for it off the site. You might find these in person and by all means have at it and get it if you like. The idea is to give a price range for what it is and photos of what they are so you can in person buy them, again, doesnt mean you cant buy them off the sites.

Questions and comments welcome, use common sence and dont be a prick about it though, please.

Exactly. Remember what I just said? "You're being much too weapon centric in this description. It doesn't tell us anything."

You're talking about nothing besides combat capacity. That tells us nothing about how well you can survive or how well thought out your plan is.

yes I can, part of the gear list has a car jacking tool, but my Veitnam vet bud is willing to come pick me up from fort hood, I live in Texas btw. Hes the one who told me about Pecos to begin with. and my sniper average isnt like that, I've been shooting since I could walk. The sites I gave covers most if not all the points you just mentioned aside from negotiating.

I don't know where to begin JeremyHall.

1) as stated above: is there a question you need answered? Or are you just looking for critique?

2) "Shoot 12 targets in 4.3 sec/recover from a 2nd degree burn in 10 days/etc"

Ok, got it. You're 'Billy Bad A&&". I can't quite call this 'Chest Thumping' since it seems you are posting in a way that seems less 'Attitude Oriented' and more 'Matter-of-Fact" like.

3) CQC with Bladed Weapons: Is there another option? Unless you were refering to that you might *not* be proficient with throwing knives or something I don't see why mentioning 'CQC with Bladed Weapons' being a proper title. Redundant, No?

no a link doesnt, I never said that I simply read it and now I can do it either. I saw, I memorized, I practiced. Simple as that. I still cant get a firedrill to work though. I get smoke but no ember. Any ideas or suggestions?
OH before hand, when I say memorized, I mean like I memorized the construction of a figure 4 trap, then I went out practiced, if I failed, then I'd go back, refrence and try again. Thankfully I got that one down.

sorry didnt see your post. im looking for critique and ideas to help the development of skills, abilities and gear. I can throw knives but I wouldnt trust my ability in a combat situation. Id be too nervous and screw up. But if we meet at a bar or somethin we could play darts, thats my furthest consistant range of sticking a throw.

The shooting 12 targets, we were shooting some cans, some were on cords with sand in them swinging. the point was to learn speed shooting while being accurate.

The burn, I just have a high immunity and recovery system, I credit it to and I may be wrong, my high protein diet. Though I did put milk on it when I first got burned, and when the skin dried and came off, I used Sylvadine (sp) great stuff. Cant beat it. If I was to take a photo of the hand that got burned, dunno if you could see the scars or not. But most people cant.

CQC with blades, yeah there are always alternatives, its just what I am most comfortable with is all. Nothing but preference.

I used to be comfortable with it too...until I visited a meat processing plant.
You learn DAMN fast that if you are comfortable with it then you know jack friggin SH!T about it. No one gets comfortable with fighting of any sort. Just resigned to the fact that in a fight they'll go the distance to live.

You watch a cow get butchured then you picture that on a human.

But before I get to that have you ever fought in that capacity? Have you ever done it for real? The fact that you're comfortable tells something but I'll let you answer.

I will finish my post with this. It's easy to tell the difference between
a knife fighter and someone who uses a knife in a fight.
All the knife fighters are dead because they'd rather fight than run.

what i ment by comfortable was im more comfortable packing a knife than a gun. ive been in 2 comfronations involving blades and i got cut both. ive seen a cow get butchered, not pretty, look up knife wounds machete wounds on google image, nuff said. now i would preffer to run as to fight with a blade. in movies they can keep going, im scared to death that someone might know about biomechanical cutting and adept at anatomy. the closest thing to a knife fight if you can call it that, and sorry about the discarded proper spelling im on a roll. is in The Hunted with tommy lee jones and benicio del toro. not the last one but the first when benicio kills the dictator. thats the reality of it. no such thing as a knife fight, people use knives to assassinate. another reason im comfortable with a blade is its the best tool ive ever used. so im familiar with it. its sorta like a carpenter backed into a corner and he has a hammer. sure anyone would be dangerous like that but because hes familiar with it, in my opinion, makes him more dangerous

If you are stuck on dial up, you can't get it online.

But if you go to a friends house you can catch it on www.hulu.com

Or rent it. Look it up in your local Yellow Pages via Video Rental Stores.
