RESPONSE:
I tried to start this conversation some months ago but, it got lost amongst the other topics.
In my mind, this board was intended to serve a few primary purposes. Among those were for people to find others in their respective areas so they could network together. Then you could organize to build local units and work together in your community with people who are geographically close to you.
Next, we would discuss what products work best, which tactics work best, and we can become more efficient / effective.
Another area that I had hoped to specialize in is discussions about the best ways for us to communicate and network together.
You have to admit, with telephones, cell phones, short wave radio, the internet, HAM radio, etc., etc. there is no lack of opportunities for us to be able to communicate. Now that 1moreround has taken us back to a much needed discussion, we need to restart the discussion. Thanks 1moreround. |

this might also work on a national scale in my case it would be 221st of the 13th meaning paulding county i belive would be (221)state as joined into the union(13) use countys as a district

I'll try to respond to Opinionated Missourian and 1moreround in the same post.
I recruited more than a thousand people into the militia when I didn't have a lot of money and fewer ways to find them than we have today. Quite frankly, the internet has made me lazy.
It don't take money or a lot of connections to find people. Finding COMMITTED PEOPLE, is a horse of a different color. Consider, prior to 9 / 11 the Militia of Georgia boasted over 4000 names on its mailing list. Today, less than a hundred people in the militia are visiting this site (or any other board for that matter.)
The trick is, in finding people, each week you add to your personal preparedness level. You buy a few first aid items this week, next week a flea market might turn up some web gear for a fraction of what it costs in the store. Get involved in the training and learn some useful skills.
As you gain competence in any field related to the cause, people will seek you out. Buy some equipment and parkerize metals. They will find you. Start a small survival business and add herbal remedies, etc. as alternative health options. Pick hobbies that lead to self reliance and people will find you.
Those of you who have children should be looking at organizations whose parents home school. You can even begin a few classes on your own to teach families how to store, clean, and shoot a firearm safely. Neighborhood watch programs (even if you have to initiate them) will yield some potential recruits.
There are a lot of people who want to meet you. But, you will have to show you're serious. Begin a home program of preparedness... bug out bags, evacuation and rendezvous plan, a prepared home (smoke alarm, safe, the dog for protection, flashlights, candles, emergency food and water on hand, etc.) Most of this stuff is time... not a big outlay of money. It's not the toys, it's your ability to utilize what you have that will do you the most good and be your best advertising to potential recruits. |
That's some good advice...will have to position myself to get into those areas!!
Thanks for the info!

If you like where this is going, let's start with the basics:
You're in Gainesville. I'm in Gwinnett. We're less than a hour away from each other. Shouldn't we have a phone tree so that we can contact each other and all the supporters between the two of us?
And what about evacuation and rendezvous plans for SHTF scenarios?
If the phone lines are down and cell phones don't work, what are our back-ups? CB radio? HAM? Smoke signal?
Suppose we need to communicate but, don't want others to know what we're talking about. How can we speak to one another without every Tom, Slick, and Harry knowing what we just said? Don't we need a coded language to protect our private conversations? Remember all those old movies where the mafia had complete conversations in public about baseball and it was really a conversation about their business practices?
In WWII the Americans had an advantage. They used Indians with a little known language to communicate back and forth. Even when the enemy intercepted their messages, they couldn't do much with it.
I'll start a couple of threads on those basics and how they are implemented (at least implemented in theory.) |

I have a cell phone a road side flair and I could get some smoke signals at the surplus store. I have no radios or anything. I guess in a shtf situation I'd have to rely on a detailed plan. If I need to I guess I could burn a tire or something. I wouldn't know what else to do. I'm not sure a smoke signal would be subtle enough in that situation though. What would you suggest? |

Wind talkers? Codes would be nice. I'll give you my number email me or PM or something. Most of these type of things are sensitive information right? We'd need to meet and discuss details in person. |

I agree that we should discuss our own personal plans in private. The point I was making earlier was to establish some beginning points on where we should be focusing our efforts and also pointing to our current weakness.
PM me with phone number and I'll also send you a couple of numbers for me. |

Maybe we will start a thread in the comms forum here and see how many people will offer to share some of their expertise. |

Damn! I read most of the post in here and ask myself have I waited to long to become involved in the Militia????? I'm a FNG, and I feel a little discouraged about the Militia beings all of the things I read!
Someone Please tell me that there is Hope!
I don't want to be a Commander, just a defender of Liberties & Freedoms, But it's hard to be a Lone Wolf! Yes, I practice marksmanship & field skills, and it looks as though I'm deep in sheep country where I live. And with all the Mole, troll or what ever term fits has made established units reluctant to recruit. And I don't blame them ,but is all this by design of the feds, to create distrust & strife so their ranks of Liberties defenders will dwindle!
Man! I guess the saying is true "Too soon old Too late smart!" But I have to keep Hope by this saying "it's never too late!" And "An old dog can learn new tricks!"
I know I'm a FNG but if there is a unit that wants a dedicated , loyal , serious minded Minuteman that wants to follow orders & learn, feel free to PM me. I don't mind giving info about myself, go through a back ground check, all I ask is extend me the same trust as you expect me to extend to you. Oh & I still believe a mans word is his bond, and his hand shake is as good as his word.

if you cannot find one start your own the militia cannot afford to loose someone with your wants you already show leadership ability by not wanting to be one, most great leaders don't even relies that they are until their in command and everyone looking at them,early British officers could buy their way into leadership oh but they lost go figure
recruit recruit recruit you will find a group or with your drive you will create one let us know what happens
good luck and godspeed

I couldn't agree MORE!
Also, as long as there is one person alive on the entire planet that believes in the Principles of Liberty (such as no victim=no crime, amongst many others including but not limited to the Bill of Rights and the Rights listed in the Declaration of Independence) THERE IS HOPE !!
