Some militiamen suffer from the delusion that;

"The war will be over in 90 days...

And we will just take what we need from the enemy".

It ain't gonna happen that way folks.

If the militia is to ever be able to sustain itself in the field for more than a couple of days it must concentrate heavily on supply and logistics. All of us must be survivalists if we and our families are to endure the coming conflict.

The survivalist is a key element of the militia movement because he remains in place, underground, undetected and low profile. The survivalist makes the perfect auxilary arm of the resistance because he has stockpiled large quantities of food, ammunition, medical supplies etc. He can aid in evasion and escape, provide safe houses, medical aid stations, area intell. etc.

The militia must protect the survivlist just as the survivalist must aid and assist the militia...if either one is to survive the coming conflict. One without the other spells defeat.

"The time for war has not yet come, but it will come and that soon, and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." Gen. T.J. Jackson, March 1861
