I'd be honored by that selection, as my great, great great grandfather was honored as head of the Texas State Guard, District 2, located in Wise County, while his son (my great, great grandfather) was off in Tennessee and Virginia fighting for his native State!
I know the area like the back of my hand and have enough arms to equip a small battalion! I accept the appointment![:D] Eric The(JustCallMeCap'nHun)Hun[>]:)] |

I wondered how long it would take until this question was asked. From the time I thought to myself, WHEN WILL I SEE THIS , till the time it actually ocurred, 5 MOnths (approximately).
hahahah, I already knew what that answer was to. hahah. Now that is what I call Foresight. I think I will just stay in Oklahoma. But Hay, give me a shortwave frequency so I can keep tabs on you guys, and if you need to be resupplied. hahaha. Ben |

My family has ~6000 acres of land in Southern Georgia - that's where I would be. Totally self sufficient, including raising chickens, growing peanuts, cotton, and corn, several ponds with good sized fish, a skeet range, horses, quale hunting, a lodge, 4-wheelers, and more. It's the family "compound"....
And last time I checked, citizens can have Class III stuff in Georgia... Check it out: [url]http://www.dapady.com[/url] |

Rainman, I'll meet you down by Mt. Ranier, by that tree, near the rock.
Seriously though, I think in this hypothetical situation, the best laid plans may be spur of the moment plans ;) I'm gonna take the test tomorrow for my amateur radio FCC license (I know, who cares in a SHTF situation) and that should help me start practicing regional communication. If we go down to Texas, should we bring our own "not so hot" sauce? Not sure what form of Montezuma's revenge we could be facing ;) |

Y'all don't count us Tennessee folks out just yet!!!We have a pretty big farm(nowhere near 6k acres though)that will tide us over till the dust settles.Would like to come visit you folks in Texas if possible after things cool off.How's about it ETH? Could you use a highly trained "redneck army"of about 20 to 25 men?
BTW;we will bring our own food,clothes,weapons,artillery and ammo. |

[b] When The SHTF Will We All Meet In Texas?[/B]
[B]rainman[/B], my first reaction when clicking on this thread was that you were asking a religious question — as in, "When I die, will I go to Texas?" Then again, if the S H's TF as hard as some folks think it will, maybe we WILL all meet there someday![:D] |

Benjamin0001, I didn't really mean that the radio or knowing how to use it won't be important. I just meant the FCC license wouldn't be all that important in a real bad situation. I think a well organized plan would be for EVERYONE to have some type of radio. A 3 tier system would probably suffice, with people that don't want technician class radios at least having personal radios, to get relays from the techs, who could get relays from the SW guys with the full range equipment. |

First let me say that I have nothing aginst Texas, but as for a SHTF meeting place it is a bad idea.
Reasons: 1) What else can we hunt for food besides rattle snake? 2)With Mexico on the bottom and a border on top with East and West sides nothing but water, there is no escape route. 3)No cover. ex: No moutains or thick forests. Edited to add #4) 83 barrels of missing Cyanide in that area. My suggestion would be a more centralized location with terrain, and more readily available food. |

Might I remind you [b]GC456[/b] that the last Battle of the War Between the States was fought at Palmetto Ranch near Brownsville, almost two weeks after Appomattox, and the Rebs won that battle?
So much for an invasion by a big angry federal government. Rattlesnakes? Yeah we kill them but unless you are really, really hungry, you won't want to eat them! We are protected from the South by a pretty big patch of desert that even today, illegals have a problem getting through. And the success ratio for deer hunting across the state is the envy of most deer hunting states! And cattle on a thousand hills. And wild turkey, fowl, waterfowl, wild boar, fish of all kinds, and more such game as you can imagine! Eric The(WeEatWellOffTheLandInTexas-HellWeWereDoingItJustAGenerationBeforeMine!)Hun[>]:)] |

As a fellow Confederate (we are a dying breed)myself I am not in anyway poking fun or trying to steal your thunder. I have never been to Texas, but I sure would like to visit one day. And I understand that you are much more knowledgable about the game and potential food than I am.
However you only answered one of my 4 points. Perhaps we can talk about this more at the BRC over a frosty beverage.[:D] |

i think we should arange a meet in Texas for a future date somtime this summer. maybe on July 4th to celibrate independance. unfortunatly i cannot offer to hold such a meet due to limited space, so if some one would like to possable volunteer to take over the planning that would be great. assuming ofcourse everyone thinks it is a good idea.
