APPALACHIASTAN EP1 - A Postapocalypse Series

[@ModernFrontiersman]

I hope this series brings out emotion, provokes some thought, and gives you some things to consider. I KNOW...SOME THINGS ARE NOT DONE PROPPERLY. THATS INTENTIONAL! I DONT CARE ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT SMOKING....ITS PART OF THE CHARACTER...... TAKE WHAT YOU CAN FROM THE SERIES....EVEN THE STUFF I DO WRONG. FINALLY....THIS IS FICTION, WHAT THE CHARACTER DOES, MAY NOT BE WHAT I DO FOR REAL.

[@brotherbrovet1881]

Here in Ozarkistan we have: No local police, zoning, building codes, permits or inspections of any kind. Call 911 and responses can be measured in hours. Folks here produce most of their own calories. Sherrif is OK with landowners arresting and bringing suspects caught on said landowners property directly to his jail. So... when it all goes to hell, things will be like normal here. PS: what's with bayojitsu scene...and no bayonet? Lol.

[@Ct125dude]

Can't wait to watch it. Just can't right now

[@tarheelcountry1868]

Hey as a thought; don’t bring out your electronics first. It should be something you do AFTER A WEEK! FOLLOW UP ATTACKS WILL BE LIKELY! Wait a week; and then take them out! Please share this! Also if everything turns off and you are home; open your main breaker and all others, and unplug everything in your house. It may be too late but this can seriously help you later. EMP’s are powerful! And can take hours/days to finish. Humans are trash and may wait to set off subsequent emps, and your preps are your only known resources!

[@walterdavis4808]

Looks like a great series. Thanks

I got prepared in 1996 when the LORD saved my soul. ✌️✌️✌️

[@Catdaddy77302]

welcome

[@rdwakefield]

Amen and Amen!!! We can prepare and we should for the word of God tells us to be like the ant and not like the grasshopper... Yet the safest place to be is in Christ Jesus for He is my redeemer and my God! Stay strong in the power of the Lord my brethren for the Lord God is sovereign and all things are in His control.

Yeah I agree. Guys like this are already a danger to themselves, can’t imagine what they would be like without nicotine, alcohol and opioids

[@MsPetra2009]

Or coffee.

[@kennethprice5628]

Yup

[@coldandaloof7166]

Please ditch the smoking habit. As a non smoking woodsman I can smell a smoker from a LONG ways away in the woods unless there is a bunch of contaminates. Same goes for fancy soaps and deodorant. Natural lye soap gets you cean and does not expose you near as bad. Save the smokes for bartering.

[@outlawandoutdoorstv9901]

Unless u fighting in a pristine environment like the jungle or some shit. I seriously doubt that cigarette is gonna do much harm.

[@revolutionanarchy713]

LMAO!@@outlawandoutdoorstv9901

[@nightshadefern162]

As a former smoker, I can often tell what brand someone is smoking from a hundred yards away. Never seemed to bother deer, but x smokers sure lock in on that scent.

[@echohunter4199]

Absolutely correct. Same in the Infantry, we could smell them a long ways off or when they’re lying nearby in ambush positions.

[@pimpmissile]

Also watch someone take a draw off a cig in the distance with night vision and realize how bright the signature is. Been nicotine free for 3 years now quit smoking 4 years ago. Quitting seems hard at first but it's really not that bad you just gotta beat the curve

[@LiterallyOverTheHillAdventures]

One thing I learned during my service way back when, is that if you are tactical, you are painted. In dark woods like where this video takes place, a human unpainted hand or face can stand out like a sore thumb.

[@neilhatfield-f3u]

so can smoking on patrol..can be smelt on the wind,

[@LiterallyOverTheHillAdventures]

@@neilhatfield-f3uwe were not allowed to smoke when tactical on a patrol or ambush, etc...., hence all the dip use amongst infantry types, that was where we would get nicotine. When I was in, way back when, smoking was somewhat encouraged, the "smoke them if you got them" and everyone else had to keep on doing what it was they were told to do. I think they knew nicotine was a stimulant and was much better than the use of amphetamines which had been used in the past. That I do not know for a fact (the smoking), but I know "speed" was once used but are no longer used. When I was in, in basic training cigarettes were one of the only "luxuries" you were allowed to purchase on the platoon visits to the shoppette.

[@davidlay5445]

Glad to find your channel. Always good to see fellow appalachianistani.

[@appledravia]

I believe that those of us who have experienced battle should view this in two lights. One is a sort of nuclear option M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) threat. We've seen combat and we will be a pain in the ass to "clear out." The other though, is that we need to be that much more motivated to connect with our communities and make a hostile act against them unthinkable. An ounce of prevention is worth buckets of blood.

[@mikebsbd]

Thanks for sharing some thought provoking material.

[@parrodii3140]

@@bryansovich2 So true dude. I've been clearly profiled on this platform now for a few months. Anything I say about stuff like this, or about the Constitution in any way is being Removed by the platform because they don't want anyone else to know what shit it really going on. Trying to keep others who don't already know in the dark as much as they can to minimize it from their perspective.

[@echohunter4199]

Any decent invading enemy either domestic or foreign will know about how we communicate and use jamming units to hamper and intercept our comms. Installing wire comm lines that spread out from the CP to outer points on the perimeter then expand the line network as you expand your perimeter ring. These lines can be concealed/buried and used as a primary or secondary means of communication but ensure they aren’t all connected to one net, have a switchboard at the CP so each zone is its own isolated sector in event of enemy capture. You can naturally improve the security of your property by planting thick bushes and trees that are a bitch to walk through and require serious cutting, this will divert an enemy to an area of your choosing. Use a backhoe to dig deep anti-vehicular obstacle then cover them up so when you need to use them you can replace the strong cover with a weaker one so when a vehicle drives over it’ll sink in. Getting the enemy on foot is the only intention for these types of obstacles.

[@ModernFrontiersman]

true...but was it an invading enemy??

[@echohunter4199]

@@ModernFrontiersman I have to consider the possibility of a clandestine invader such as 300,000 military age men sneaking across our borders a month or, a domestic threat of some force say maybe the IRS who for some reason bought millions of ammunition as if they’ll actually be using it. A low quality force can be effective if there’s a shitload of them attacking a smaller enemy in defense. But if for some reason any one of the major belligerents around the world team up and actually invade us, who knows what will happen or how our government and military will respond. If I were Russia and China, I’d have pre-positioned nukes buried all over the place already so I wouldn’t have to worry about defeating anti-missile defenses. Just my thoughts on the topic, sorry for getting long winded.

[@GruntProof]

[@SparkologistZapUSMC]

As a full-time prepper and a master electrician with extensive training in sensitive electronic equipment installation I could tell you that you will need to put tinfoil around the top of your ammo can and line the inside of it with cardboard or something non-conductive there could be no breaks in the metal the rubber seal in the top of the ammo can does not need to be take it out if you put a layer of tinfoil over to Ken before you close it but nothing could touch the metal inside the can or it will be ruined

[@ericbroussard7402]

Thanks for that. A lot of people don't realize how easily electronics can be drained or even ruined from prolonged contact with metal. I know a lot of people who set their smartphone on something metal all the time and wonder why their phone dies before lunch when it's just sitting there and they're not using it.

[@Flash1857]

It's good to be prepared, but not living in fear. You speak as a warrior, this is good. Anyone that has been shot at, doesn't want to experience again. I wish more of the wackos would try being a soldier first.

[@Moto-foody]

I don’t want to be persnickety here, especially since I’m not doing much aside from buying ammo. And I’m darn sure not making cool videos. However, very good use of a SALUTE report while on patrol, but I couldn’t help but notice, and this is the 11B in me, you didn’t send up an ACE report after the ambush. Anyway, good videos brothers, I’m looking forward to episode 3.

I like the way this is done like reality TV instead of a movie. When SHTF it won't be like a movie either.
