Books your comms guy should have-you do have a comms guy right?
and an electronics repair guy as well?
If not elect one,and the rest of your tribe can learn from him-or her.

The Patriot Canteen/mass feeding project is still in the works,some equipment has been purchased,the owners now have the info needed to set up the MKT,and run a foodservice operation out of it.

What they do not have is all of the equipment needed,or the funds to purchase the rest of what’s needed.

These guys made the initial investment by purchasing the MKT-anyone in their AO should be supporting this project-it could end up being the only place you can get a hot meal.

People not in the AO should be supporting the project as well.

I’ve got very limited $$$ this year,as it rained for almost the entire month of June,and the first week of July in NE Ohio. Everyone who makes a living working outside is way behind,and made a whole lot less than usual due to the shitty weather we had-yet I scraped up $25.00 and kicked in to help this project succeed.

And I live about 700 miles away.

When SHTF or there’s a grid down emergency due to natural disaster,economic collapse-whatever-you’d better hope someone in your AO has a MKT or similar set-up all stocked up and ready to roll because you ain’t gonna survive very long on MRE’s or Mountain House,or beans and rice.

SHTF/grid down situations are stressful-your body needs proper nutrition even more when under stress.

The military knows this-that’s the reason the MKT exists-to get hot chow to front line troops-those in forward bases,SF camps,etc.

Besides the owners-there are two guys who have over 50 years of experience feeding large groups of people-as both of us were executive chefs in hotels and private country clubs-we are helping with this project because we know the importance of hot meals and proper nutrition-and we know how to prep,cook,hold,and serve large groups of people- all while following proper sanitation procedures during all phases of the operation-which means we won’t get people sick.

Those who try feeding large groups of people without the knowledge and experience WILL get people sick-your group/tribe ain’t gonna be able to do much when they’ve got the screamin squirts comin out of their rear ends because some clueless dolt gave them food poisoning.

There’s a reason that in both the military and civilian world-those in charge of foodservice operations have a hell of a lot of training and experience-it’s not like Thanksgiving dinner at your aunt Millie’s house-or your fourth of July BBQ.

There are procedures/rules/regs that MUST be followed. Those who don’t know them and attempt to feed large groups of people are going to see their tribe  spending a lot of time runnin for the woods,or the porta potties,or latrines with rolls of TP in their hands.

No one feels this is an important project?

No one thinks hot,nutritious food is important to your long-term survival?

No one’s willing to give up a couple Mountain Dews,or a six-pack of beer to kick in $5.00?

Everyone is to poor,too broke to kick in a lousy $5.00

I’m poor,I’m broke,but I kicked in $25.00

Come on people-let’s get this one done-then it can be used as the example for any AO in the country-but we can’t give that example unless we get this one done.

From Michael Krieger at libertyblitzkrieg.com:

Cannataci says we are dealing with a world even worse that anything Orwell could have foreseen. “It’s worse,” he said. “Because if you look at CCTV alone, at least Winston was able to go out in the countryside and go under a tree and expect there wouldn’t be any screen, as it was called. Whereas today there are many parts of the English countryside where there are more cameras than George Orwell could ever have imagined. So the situation in some cases is far worse already.

– UN Privacy chief, Joseph Cannataci

The UN special rapporteur on privacy, Joseph Cannataci, pulls no punches when it comes to privacy. It’s hard to disagree with what he has to say.

From the Guardian:

The first UN privacy chief has said the world needs a Geneva convention style law for the internet to safeguard data and combat the threat of massive clandestine digital surveillance.

Plant food plots long enough, and eventually you’ll have one go belly-up on you.  The rain doesn’t fall, the sun doesn’t shine, or for some other reason the stuff just doesn’t grow well enough to reach its potential.

Earlier this summer, my hunting buddy Alan and I planted a soybean plot that we hoped would attract deer during Minnesota’s December archery and muzzleloader seasons. We got the beans in plenty early, but then we got busy—and, well, we flat-out forgot to spray them with herbicide at the appropriate time. By the time we discovered our mistake, grasses and weeds had overrun the plot. The beans were there, but they weren’t going to produce much forage without immediate help.

We hit the plot immediately with Roundup, and then took another look 10 days later. Some of the beans recovered nicely, but nearly half the plot was not mature enough to produce a good pod, and there were plenty of bare patches where grass and weeds had simply out-competed the beans.
So we were in a kind of limbo-land. We could plow under the plot and start over, but that would kill the beans that were doing fine. With any potential killing frosts several weeks away, we ultimately decided that supplementing a food plot with additional seed was the way to go.

A Waco attorney named Hamilton Lindley filed a lawsuit late last Thursday against Twin Peaks Restaurants and the owners of the Twin Peaks franchise in Waco for injuries and distress caused during the Twin Peaks Massacre last May 17. The plaintiffs, who are only identified as Texas residents M.K.H. and C.R.H., are seeking “monetary relief between $500,000 and $1 million.”

The suit cites as “facts:”

Facts

“In defiance of repeated law enforcement warnings, Twin Peaks invited rival biker gangs to its Waco restaurant on May 17, 2015. Predictably, these rival gangs—fueled by Twin Peaks’ alcohol—began fighting. Nine people were killed and more than 18 were injured as a result of the gross negligence of Defendants. Police recovered more than 300 weapons from the scene, including more than 100 pistols and an AK-47.”

The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle — the HMMWV, or Humvee — is a stalwart of the battleground. If you asked someone to draw a military truck, they’d almost certainly draw this classic machine, which is almost older than a millennial (1984!) and gained such a pop culture following at one point that civilians started buying them. Arnold Schwarzenegger, in particular, is famous for his undying love of the “Hummer.”

But seriously, they’re old. The US military has been keen on retiring Humvees for some time, and it has finally awarded the $6.7 billion contract to replace them to Wisconsin-based truck maker Oshkosh, which expects to make about 17,000 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs) over the course of the deal. The JLTVs, which will come in multiple two- and four-seat configurations, aren’t just better armored and generally more capable trucks than the ones they’re replacing — they also look extraordinarily mean. (I’ve seen them in person, and I can attest that the meanness is real.)

The big selling point for the JLTV is what Oshkosh calls the “Core1080 Crew Protection System,” which includes mine resistance, IED detection, and a lot of bolt-on armor. It’s not just about defense, though: optional turret and missile launch units put bite behind the bark. A suspension that can be raised and lowered electronically makes it easier to transport JLTVs to wherever they’re needed, but out in the field, it’s got 20 inches of wheel travel for insane off-road capability. Oh, and Oshkosh claims it’s 70 percent faster than the best tactical wheeled vehicle (TWV) in the market currently.

The Humvee was tame enough to make it to dealerships, but this thing? I’m skeptical we’ll ever see a red JLTV cruising down the highway, unless Arnold wants to prove me wrong.
