Before I go any further, I know some think that they need to prep to fight not to survive. I disagree, your preps must be well rounded.

You really need to stock ammo and weapons,but just as important is the ability to feed yourself and troops.

Some might think the Government will be able to find your farm and shut you down.

Maybe if you spend alot of time there.

If you just use it as a place for your kids and family, then just resupply there. it will last for a while. What WE must learn is to keep our mouths shut.

Your retreat is your business, so is the weapons you own.

I have preached against posting your weapons,preps or pictures of your retreats.

A long time ago a member posted pics of weapons and ammo stashes, He missed the fact that an old license plate of his, was on a shelf in the back ground. I told him about it and he doctored the pic.
My point is little things are important now.

The Feds will pour over every pic with a magnifying glass till they find something to lead them to you.

YOUR PREPS ARE YOUR BUSINESS. Please treat your home place as such.


Do not leave things in your name if you are a leader of the movement. Do not purchase anything with a credit card or leave info about yourself. If this land will be your escape retreat and the place you plan to use aa home base.

IT MUST NOT BE IN YOURS OR YOUR WIFES NAME.

You must learn how to build things without purchasing new equitment or having permits to do so. In other words don't be near a main road where inspectors will check on your construction.

Don't be visible from any road and make your entrance look like a game trail when your retreat is being worked on or used.

If your not able to complete any of these ideas I will show you. then make your current place as self reliant as possible. I have seen gardens of the roofs of buildings in the city. I have seen pretty good gardens on surburban lots.

It is your kids lives you are protecting. Time to get mean and do your duty. Give your family a fighting chance. They are your future.

TOOLS

1. wood chisels, you need several sizes starting at 1/4" to 1". Hey spend the extra dollars and buy a good set. cheap ones are just dangerous and don't sharpen well, a good set will last a lifetime.

2.wood planes the old timey type, different sizes and jobs. these are not cheap but you can get lucky at yard sales and swap meets.

3. boring tools, this includes drills and bits up to 1" also you should own a hand drill(Brace) and wood bits ( high quality auger bits) for it, in case you can't make much noise. make sure the brace is double acting. (rotates in both directions).

4. Tape measures, a 25 foot and 12 foot and 100 footer. I have a 300 footer for fencing but you can get away with a 100 footer.

5. pry bars from a cats paw up to a breaker bar for dismantling homes.

6 complete set of concrete tools mag trowel, wood trowel, finish trowels, floats. you'll also need a good set of cold chisels for block work.

7. hammers from a 12oz finish to a 22 or 28 oz framing hammer, yes a nail gun and compressor works but you should have old fashion backup too.
although I have framing guns and finish guns stapler and coil roof nailers and 3 compressors. I one day will need the hand tools and I have them. Plus if I needed to travel light I doubt I will be dragging all that around. Even though I keep in in a pull trailer, it is still not all that portable. But a couple of tool boxes are.

8.Electrical tools from wire strippers totesters, needle nose to dikes (linesmans) combo stripper and crimper comes in real handy. When you buy a screwdriver set for your tool box make sure they are insulated. It don't hurt to have the cordless drills and batteries, a complete set are sold in kits. they have sawzall, circular saw and drills, sometimes a flashlight, I found a dewalt kit with an impact instead of the flash light.

9. Plumbing tools, include a set of good leather gloves for working with hot pipes. large cresent at least 10" and a pipe wrench the same size. a torch kit and soldier kit for copper pipe work. Pipe dope for galv pipe work.

10. two good saw horses you can buy them but I would recomend you buy just a kit and cut the wood out of scrap lumber.


The next section will be on power tools and garden tools and equiptment.


I believe in absolute Freedom, as little interference from any government as possible...And I'll fight any man trying to take that away from me.
