Today we discuss another tenet of modern survival philosophy, that of “owning land it true wealth”. My view is that many simply do not truly understand what that means and how special it is that the U.S. still has and was built on the right to own private property, for all, not just “nobles”.
Tune in today as we discuss…
- How private property in America was seen vs. the feudal system that was in place in much of the world all the way up to and in some cases past 1900
- It was land that brought early settlers to America
- Why land is the real “store of value” for all time far more so then gold, etc.
- The attack on land ownership and why governments love cities and suburbs
- The Ag Zoning trap and how it kills small farms and creates mega commerical farming that destroys land
- Why you should own land out of the city limits and own more then one piece
- The value of livestock even just a few smaller animals
- What owning your lands production means
- How to use land to build a local barter economy
- Bartering production for skills and learning skills so we don’t loose them to the ravages of time
- Learning to do more with smaller tracts of land to truly beat the system
- How to make it happen and become a land owner

So if the SHTF in most instances you plan to bug in, you have your generator, you have your food, you have a means of defense and you are prepared for whatever may come, or are you. Today we step back a bit from the obvious and from some common thinking that isn’t very realistic to examine how prepared we are for bugging in. Please note even if you “bug out” you are going to another location and once you get there, guess what you are going to be doing, bugging in of course.
Join in today as we discuss…
- Two new eBooks free for Support Brigade Members
- Storing food for everyone possibly even some for neighbors and definitely for your pets and stock
- The need for personal hygiene products, bigger then you might think it is
- Back up power sources both short and long term
- The advantages and failings of generators
- Why you need to plan to keep the garden growing
- The need for and functionality of “security protocols” including during increased threat periods
- Why you need to quickly contact all family/close friends at the beginning of a SHTF especially if you are bugging in
- The importance of taking an inventory and sorting into needs, good to have and don’t need it at all
- How inventory and sorting will help you in barter situations
- Keeping communications up as long as possible including radio, TV, Ham, MURS, etc.
- The importance of maintaining a sense of normalcy during a bug in
- How drills are about more then finding weaknesses, they are also about acclamation
