SURVIVALIST LIST
I am a former member of the Special Forces 5th Group. I was assigned to macVsog '69-'71 (Military Assistance Command Studies and Observation Group Vietnam).
Since leaving the military, I have served in law enforcement. Some of my duties included teaching SWAT classes and I also trained law enforcement Snipers. I have composed this list, from my knowledge of many years experience and insight into the human nature. However, in my humble opinion, these are my suggestions only and are by no means the only solutions that you should follow. I only wish to help people get on the right track should anything arise and personal survival is required. I highly suggest you seek further and more in depth formal survival training.
This is a survivalist list to help keep you and yours alive. Depending on where you live it may need to be modified or added to. This is a Basic Survival Guide. If you have small children, you will need to compensate for this (children’s meds, baby food, bottles, etc.) Everyone's expertise will be needed and appreciated. If anything is repeated, there is a reason. Some things can not be overstated!
Make sure you have an escape plan in case things get real bad. Do not get trapped in traffic like the people do leaving a hurricane site. You are not going to be the only person fleeing. Get maps and learn all the back roads and know where you are headed to. Have alternate routes. Do this now so you will know of all tolls, bridges, any other trouble you might run into. Stay off the main highways and interstates! Again, have alternate routes, know the terrain, study all and every aspect of where you are going. If you have car trouble, you will know where the nearest shelter is, etc. Take notes as you go. Know them by heart! Too much information never hurt anyone!
Get with family or friends that live in the country, as remote as possible, and go there. (Have this pre-arranged other folks are going to do the same thing) There is safety in numbers. This can not be stressed enough! If you live in a large metro city, consider moving. Remember, everybody is going to be leaving, you must accommodate for this. The local camping spot will be filled quickly, plus, you need to be about 150-200 miles from all metro cities, if possible. Have your escape plan down to a science so that for any foreseeable problem you may have, you will know immediately what to do.
Try to have a handgun and rifle for each person in your household. If this is not possible, at least try to have one pistol and as many rifles and shotguns as you can get your hands on. Have plenty of ammunition for each weapon you possess. A gun without ammo is useless. You might as well invest in baseballs and throw them at your presumptive supper or an intruder. This list of weapons is for your basic survival. No need in arguing over what is a better shotgun.
List of Weapons
RIFLES 
HANDGUNS
HANDGUNSRemington 870 Pump Action (try to have at least two) 9MM extra magazines
Remington 700 308 (long range) .22
.22.22 or anything you can get just as long as you can get shells for it
AK-47
AR-15
Mini 14
If it is not possible to acquire these, at least have a shotgun, 30-30, and a .22 and a handgun. NATO rounds will be plentiful (223,308 and 9mm try to get something you can find plenty to reload with.) You should have 1-2 thousand rounds for each weapon you have. YOU CAN NOT HAVE TOO MUCH AMMO!! It will be scarce and you will need all your bullets to count. They will also be good barter tools. You can't rely on money.
*RULE OF THUMB* You should have one round for every person within a 10 mile radius of where you live. If you live in a big city, consider moving.
Tip: 00 Buckshot (9 pellets) equals about a half of an AR-15 magazine (20 rounds) for close quarters. (Can't be beat!)
Compound Bow HAVE PLENTY OF BOLTS (ARROWS)
Cross Bow 150 lb. or more pull GET GOOD TIPS (UNDERTAKER WORKS REAL WELL)
In my opinion, the Cross Bow is one of the most important weapons you can possess. With this one weapon, you can get anything you should need. First, it is an ideal hunting weapon for short range shots. Just load, aim and shoot. It's that simple. Your target is going to be close. You're talking about a target a few yards away. Don't be intimidated if you've never used one. They're easy to master. A monkey can do it! Also, you can reuse the bolt. Fire a gun and your bullet is spent. Unless you can reload (which is another story all together) and have the right tools, you are one bullet short. Make every shot count. Secondly, it can be quiet and stealthy. The cross Bow can be shot multiple times without giving away your location. Sometimes, complete silence and stealth will be your only camouflage. Be sure to have plenty of bolts(arrows). These are relatively inexpensive and can be re-used!
GUN CLEANING KIT-Do not forget about this. You don't need your gun to misfire because it is dirty.

**On the activated charcoal and batting... put a layer of activated charcoal between cotton batting and you make a breathing apparatus (home made gas mask) along with your goggles to cover your eyes. In your water barrel, put a layer of the activated charcoal between the poly batting to flush impurities from your water bucket.
Do not use cotton batting for your water, it will mildew! Only use the POLY batting in the water. NEVER USE COOKING CHARCOAL FOR EITHER OF THESE USES!
Know how to trap and store rainwater properly! It is very simple. But, you must have clean drinking water to survive. You need to keep large amounts on hand. There may be a draught! What if you have a water purification bottle and it gets broken or stolen? Or your pills get spilled and ruined?
Both of those are great to have, but, as with everything else, HAVE A BACKUP RESERVE PLAN! Always know 2,3,or 4 ways to resolve a problem should one arise.
Learn alternative uses for all these products. Vinegar and Borax have a million uses between them. There are other things I could have put down but I am trying to keep this list as short as possible. So, look into your alternative uses. You'll be surprised at what you find and may start using them now!
Learn your local fauna. Know what is edible, used for home remedies and what is poisonous. This my be the only thing you have to eat. You won't have a Dr. to go to if things get bad. And, just because an animal can eat it DOES NOT mean a human can!!!! This is imperative. Know your surroundings for you and your family’s sake. Get a book on home remedies. People lived on this earth a long time without this "new medicine" and fancy Dr.'s offices. Use what the good Lord provided you. He will not let you be without your needs. A good example is the lowly dandelion. People do their best to rid their yards of this little dastardly weed. But God knew what he was doing when He gave us the plant. The leaves can be eaten in a salad or the leaves can be steeped in hot water to flush your kidneys and the root can be made into chicory (coffee). So many uses from God's little yellow flower, and man does his best to rid his miserable life of it (sounds kind of like what this country is doing now, doesn't it?) But please, learn your fauna. You don't want to wipe with the wrong plant, if you know what I mean.
If possible, have some games and cards on hand. You will need something for entertainment. Don't have anything that requires batteries though. They will be too valuable to waste.
Get as many solar rechargeable things as you can. Get your things in order. I know this list seems long, but most of the things you already have.
Make a GIT-GONE BAG. Keep it close to the door in case you have to Git-Gone in a hurry and have no time to pack anything. This is a must. Go to the doctor and the dentist. Get what you need done now, while things are pretty steady. No need in having a wailing toothache in the woods with no way to fix it.
I'm sure you are wondering by now on how to haul your stash? If you have an SUV, you're fine. If not, you should get an enclosed trailer, like the ones at the U-Haul store. If you get a vehicle, choose one you can haul your goods in and preferably with 4WD. You never know when you have to go across a muddy field, stream or ditch.
Know how to shoot. Each bullet must count. Teach your family about weapons and how to properly shoot them. Teach your kids. A child is NEVER too young to learn about guns and proper gun safety. Take a hunter education course. Make it a family affair. Knowledge is your best weapon. That is what keeps you alive. If your wife is scared of guns, find another woman that ain't and acquaint them. Guns don't kill people any more than cars do, it's just the drivers you need to be afraid of. A weapon can be your best friend in the worst of times if used correctly and responsibly. If you have a gun range where you live, join it, learn all you can. Now, there are some like minded people you really need to know! Safety in numbers, like minded people. Good deal. If you have no range, find some of your hunter friends and start your own club. Nothing formal-all you need is a place to go and they will come. Cowboy Shootin' groups are all over the country. Another good place to go and learn. Shooting something to eat may mean life or starvation for your family. This is a harsh reality, but a reality none the less. This is not an extended camping trip list. It is a Survivalist List. There's not an, "I really don't want to do this!" you may have no other choice.
The more you know the less likely you are to perish. What if it is dead winter and there is nothing to forage? What will you do? Wait for someone else to do it for you? No. You have no one to depend on but God and yourself.
Any of your friends or relatives that know you are preparing will not prepare themselves (have you been called foolish yet?) However, they will come running to you when everything goes down hill. Know who you will help and who you won't. Sounds rough, but ohhhh, so true! You will need to keep this in mind when you are gathering stuff up.
The old fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper come to mind. You've been preaching, but they ain't listening. Most people don't want to be bothered to change their glorious "mall shopping" lives! Reality is not what most people want to know about. Just know this, there will always be more people than you plan for.
You also have to keep in mind the strangers and stragglers that will be looking for handouts. This generation is full of entitlement brats. They will be none to happy when you send them away empty handed. Too bad! If people will kill you now for the shoes on your feet, think what they'll do if they are really hungry! This is why you must try to go far, far away into the boonies and be entirely self sufficient. You and yours is what is important, you will not be able to help everyone. This is a very tough, unfortunate reality. I pity the city people.
The government won't be there to help you. Food drops will be peppered with those little RFID tracking tags to find where you are. Sound slightly paranoid? (Ever watch RED DAWN?) With our government, foreign governments, terrorists & radicals. Yeah. You should have a touch of paranoia, too. It keeps you on the ball and alert, aware of your surroundings. You will have to rely entirely on yourself. Always think of the worst case scenario and prepare for that, first. Pray we never see it though! This guide is for all types of disasters, natural or manmade. Learn to be self reliant.
Now that I have filled you with a sense of gloom & doom....go, prepare, check your spare tire, get your oil changed and fill the tank. Watch as many videos as you can on how to be self sufficient. Know how to build a fire in the woods without matches! Simple things you learn can make all the difference in the world (and keep you alive!). While you are out scouting your route and destination, go camping! Really rough it! You will know exactly what you'll need and what to expect! Fear is your worst enemy and knowledge is your best friend. Because, when you know what to expect, all your fears will subside. There is no plausible excuse to be unprepared for any situation. Take control of the situation, don't let the situation control you. If you wish to contact me, feel free to do so.

Welcome to the End Times prophecies fact page!!
The book of Joel chapter 3, verses 1 and 2 read: "In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat."
In 1948 Israel became a country again after 1900 years. This is one thing that had to happen prior to end time prophecies to begin. Up until 1948, scholars were of the belief that the "gathering" referred to another country which was a home of the Jews. Notably, most assumed it to be the U.S. Now, however, one of the major pieces of the puzzle is in place. I also believe that a sign was given to those familiar with the Bible in the "coincidental" selection of the lottery numbers 666, 779, and 7779 in Illinois all on November 5th, the day after Obama was elected President. I believe this was to say "my perfect plan is in motion." The Antichrist's number is 666. The number 7 is Biblically a number of perfection or completeness. 3 and 9 are significant in that things repeated 3 times are very important and 9 is of course the mathematical product of 3 times 3. Daniel 9:27 states that the temple must be rebuilt on the temple mount during the tribulation. The plan to rebuild the temple is in the works. The only thing preventing it is that it is necessary to build it on the MUSLIM'S third most holy site, the Dome of the Rock. The Antichrist somehow brokers the deal, whether diplomatically or through force. Articles referencing these signs that caught my attention that we may be approaching end times are below. The Israelis targeted mosques during the recent strikes, opening the door for strikes on the Dome Of The Rock in the future. According to Revelation 17 & 18, Babylon is to be rebuilt in the last days. Signs are pointing to the fulfillment of these things.
The world economy is in grave danger of a total collapse. Countries are overturning their governments already and the hardest times aren't even here yet. This president is the most inexperienced president in a century and perhaps our country's history. He will make many mistakes and will surely not make the correct decisions in this time of the deepest crisis facing America since the Civil War. At the end of Obama's presidency in 2012, I foresee the country and its citizens in a devastated condition, willing to do almost anything in our search for making society function once more. The below articles support this position. (The Bible also tells of fire from the sky...is that the solar flare? Or possibly Aurora?)
The Antichrist arises out of a one world government. Chapter 2 of the book of Daniel foretells four kingdoms which will come. The first three of which have historically already come to pass. The fourth kingdom is the FINAL kingdom prior to God setting up his kingdom on Earth. The fourth kingdom is described in verses 40-43: "Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay."
These verses of this prophetic dream are rather easy to interpret even for those not familiar with the Bible. Obviously the kingdom will be a mix of all nations and, surprise surprise, they won't quite get along. The entire kingdom will be a strongly ruled government (iron) which oppresses the countries of the world (clay). Our first step down the path of a one world government is a common currency caused by the current economic crisis. Once that's in place, there must be a "governing" body over monetary policy. This is when we all start to "work together" toward solving the problems of the world. Here are the stories I see which support my theory of the upcoming one world government. The Beast in the Bible has 10 heads...just so you're aware, the European Union has 10 permanent members, 5 of which are not so religious...
This page is an ongoing work in progress, hence, the "last updated" information above. Check back regularly for updates!!
For America to agree to such nonsense as a one world government, things have to get VERY bad. Here are some videos and news stories which will show you how the U.S. is ALREADY leaning towards instability and radical measures.
Once the Antichrist is in power, Ezekiel 38 prophesied that Israel will be attacked by Gog (most likely Russia due to the description) and Persia (Iran). When Israel is attacked, they are alone in their defense. Verses 1-6 read: "The word of the LORD came to me "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you. "
Ezekiel 39, verses 1-8 continues as God speaks: "Son of man, prophesy against Gog and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. I will turn you around and drag you along. I will bring you from the far north and send you against the mountains of Israel. Then I will strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand. On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birds and to the wild animals. You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD. I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in safety in the coastlands, and they will know that I am the LORD. " 'I will make known my holy name among my people Israel. I will no longer let my holy name be profaned, and the nations will know that I the LORD am the Holy One in Israel. It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign LORD. This is the day I have spoken of."
It should be noted that Russia and Iran have not been in alliance since Jesus came. They recently became allies in a pursuit of nuclear power, oil coproduction, and weapons trading. Iran has stated a desire to either destroy Israel's government or its nation, depending on interpretation. In the end, Israel kicks their butts. Stories below will be supportive of Israel's soon-to-be war with these countries as described in the Bible.
For now, I URGE you to read Epicenter by Joel Rosenberg. Get it and read it. There's a link in my store to the Amazon sale of it. It's the best $10 or less you'll ever spend.
I have included a survival list submitted by a subscriber below. This should be pretty much inclusive if society completely breaks down. While I don't think a COMPLETE breakdown will occur, I do believe it would be prudent to have some hunting or self-defense supplies. As I said, it's up to you. Please feel free to contact the author. He has included his email link at the end.
Regards and best wishes to you all- Rob
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips are here. All we need is humans to be forced to insert them into their skins for, well, The Beast. Also, Barack Obama is wanting to shift to electronic health records to "save money." Wouldn't it just be more convenient for you to have it encoded on your "internal Beast chip?" This could very well be the Mark of the Beast.
= Newest Update
Of course, religion will not be popular in end times and we're beginning to see that in our society right now. Revelation 13:5-7 "The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months. He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them." Take for example the following Department of Homeland Security "Terrorist Profile." On page 4 of 9 you find this passage "Antigovernment conspiracy theories and “end times” prophecies could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition, and weapons.These teachings also have been linked with the radicalization of domestic extremist individuals and groups in the past, such as violent Christian Identity organizations and extremist members of the militia movement." Also on page 4 of 9, "Prominent among these themes were the militia movement’s opposition to gun control efforts, criticism of free trade agreements (particularly those with Mexico), and highlighting perceived government infringement on civil liberties as well as white supremacists’ longstanding exploitation of social issues such as abortion, inter-racial crimes, and same-sex marriage." These "profile" items are defining of CHRISTIANS. Not that the Obama administration is antichrist driven, however, incrementally, the christians will slowly be seen as the enemy. Look how much we're persecuted today!
