OPSEC...

Operations security (OPSEC) is a process that identifies critical information to determine if friendly actions can be observed by adversary intelligence systems, determines if information obtained by adversaries could be interpreted to be useful to them, and then executes selected measures that eliminate or reduce adversary exploitation of friendly critical information.
Though the above statement is true in its official military format, OPSEC is the process of protecting little pieces of data that could be grouped together to give the bigger picture. OPSEC is the protecting of critical information deemed mission essential from military commanders. Protecting this critical information is through the use of email encryption software, careful of who may be listening to you (like in a hotel bar), paying close attention to a picture you have taken (back ground) or not talking openly on social media sites.

NOT TALKING OPENLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA SITES.

This post is inspired by The Ra-tards.

The Ra-tards: People who post pic's or speak  of their guns/preps/ammo on the same forum as the one they bash the Government on. People who discuss strategy and operation readiness to rid their neighborhoods of people they presume a threat.

Ra-tards are people who are just BEGGING to get their door kicked in by the FBI, and are the ones who get Prepper forums put on 'watch lists" and worse, shut down.

If you must run your mouth to anyone who'll listen, then post your gun pic's on (sane) gun enthusiast board. Post your government rants on your Facebook or Twitter page where you alone are held accountable for your words, or in a forum who's basis is politics. Keep prepping about PREPPING on prepper forums.

Leave the rest of us out of your madness.

Bugging Out. Are you REALLY ready?

Unless you have a real life Bug-Out retreat at least semi-ready, bugging out will be suicide for your average citizen. It's 50/50 for those semi-prepared (but I'll take 50/50 over staying in a riot infested city) I could write a huge rip-off post about it, but I found a YouTube video that pretty much sums it up to help you make your own educated decision.

Bugging Out Will Get You Killed...

Homemade Water Filter...

I have one of these in my B.O.B and my G.H.B.

Very simple to make, using a 20oz empty plastic water bottle. Cut off end and leave about 2 inches to add water.



Remember that depending on the condition of the water, it may need to be boiled before consuming. This will filter simple lake or running stream/river water. If you're filtering standing water; BOIL IT as well.
