  1. You are NOT a Christian because you are taught by or live closely with Christians. By definition, you are a Christian by personally putting your faith and trust in the saving power of the blood, death and resurrection of the only Son of God, Jesus.

    1. While not necessarily a Christian, I believe the author implies that you have been at least somewhat infused with Christian values. This creates a foundational base from which to relate to your duties and obligations under Christian doctrine. It sets you up to the idea of your true responsibilities so to speak.

  3. How do you address 1+ year long deployments and or reassignments to other bases as an Army medic and having a retreat property, walking, children and the plan?
    Where’s cub at while your out?
    I’ll see if it’s addressed the next few days in part 2-3.

    1. Trending towards agreement here, though I’ll reserve judgement. But it seems as though the author may be trying too hard. My antenna went up at a pre-stocked retreat 3 hours away. What happens upon PCS’ing? I could not buy my retreat until I was out with all required active and inactive reserve time completed. Seems a bit fishy.

      1. HI Jason, thank you for your response. Every situation is unique. There are certain instances where you have to rely on prayer to put you in “the right place, at the right time, with the right people”. My own unique situation is that acquiring farmable land in a rural environment, plus maintaining a substantially downsized existance, on or near your base; is cheaper than maintaining a solely upper scale household near a base. I hope this response can be of some benefit.

        God bless

      1. Awesome. I was hoping you would detail more of if they had their own retreat, the care givers/family would get to use yours while taking care of cub or if he was stuck in urban areas etc.
        I’m retired military and had to make arrangements and plans for the times I was out though I didn’t have a home base retreat. I’m seriously interested in how that works with PCSing every 2-3 years, Mobilzations, months long training in professional development usually in other states or even countries and field ops or getting reassigned to places like Korea where you don’t get to take family for that year.

        1. Good day Sir,

          The power of prayer is the key solution to getting “in the right place, at the right time , with the right people”.

          That is the best solution I can address to service members facing the dilemma you have described, myself included.

          I hope this response is satisfactory.

          God bless,

    3. Hi Matt, thank you for your response. Suffice to say that author James Wesley, Rawles in his book Liberators details a character who is a service member caught in Afghanistan during a collapse. As for my cub arrangements are made to care for him to meet military obligations.

      God bless,

  4. I have to laugh at most of these doomsday scenarios because as soon as the balloon goes up, within a week martial law will be declared and roadblocks established to prevent people from exiting the cities, they will be corralled into camps or feeding stations and fed there while big brother decides who lives and who dies. Eventually the house to house food and ammo confiscations will happen, but I don’t foresee the wholesale zombification as predicted here, but the panic must be good for sales tho-

    1. Funny, you’ve described the environment present in my almost-complete book.

      While it’s fine to prepare for a total WROL destruction scenario, a collapse followed by martial law is FAR more likely.

      1. Gentlemen,
        Thank you for your responses. As for the scenario of creating a successful perimeter around a major city, I remain unconvinced. I look forward to novels that will address this.

        God bless,

      2. We only have to look to a country in South American that’s currently experiencing a collapse to see what will happen. The fact is the hordes will starve while the government and their protectors eat!!!

        1. Good day Sir,

          Venezuela has very different gun laws for its citizens than our country has, this will result in far different results in a collapse.

          Thank you for your response.

          God bless

  6. Just another poor soul living on his own strength and not by the Word of God.
    The total society collapse idea is not in Scripture. That is fiction.
    Mankind’s rule will end and its clearly detailed in Revelations.
    Have faith, fear God and be obedient

    1. Hi Skip, thanks for your response. Without offending you I will paraphrase 12:11, “those who works his land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies lack judgment”

      God bless to you and your family, again no disrespect is intended.

    2. Sorry Skip, but history is littered with the ruins of civilizations that collapsed. Ancient Egypt, Athens, Rome, the Byzantines, the Aztecs… I could go on and on.

      1. So true. I believe in the second coming of Christ in His time. But TEOTWAWKI has happened hundreds of times in various locales in the last two millennia and may happen again as many times before He comes.

  8. The government does not have the manpower to deploy martial law in our major cities! They would need every man just to protect key government assets.

    We could argue forever, if it could or could not happen, but if it did – we are on your own.

  10. US is mighty big for any semblance of martial law to be effective.
    As I travel the country and fly over the many areas I laugh at the government being able to control to hordes. Not enough bodies to go around.

    1. To the readers,

      The managing editor has reccomend to continue to respond to promote positive solutions for myself, and for the reader.

      For my child I have emphasized the importance of keeping your word. However I realize the importance of flexibility in dealing with matters of value.

      I hope I have demonstrated this to my son, and will continue to respond.

      God bless,

  11. You have reiterated what we know. A synopsis, a reminder. The key take away here, you realize the debt you owe your three year old, being human. Many will lose that focus. How one trains him to be quiet, like the quiet game, will be a key game to teach. How to teach him to be quiet when water and food are scarce, key. Tough world for a child.

    The new world, coming here, a world others have faced across the globe for decades. God bless

  12. The horde is quick. I’m about 15 miles to a town. Got looted twice within 24 hours of a hurricane or tropical storm. Got Cell411 loaded on my phone to get a posse on the scene , dogs, and arms.
    Ready for next time. And I won’t go into town to help them next time.

  13. I really do not understand the obsession with the belief that US society is going to crash and burn and yet have the hubris that I will be the one that will survive.

    And all I need is 3 years of stockpiled food, farm animals, ability to grow crops and enough high tech weapons to defend it.

    So that means one will inevitably kill People in desperate need, right.

    I do not see in Scripture that tells you to kill in order to keep your stuff.
    In fact, Scripture tells to help the poor, and our enemies.

    Anyway, I will just trust The Lord. He has never failed me.

    1. It’s a logical conclusion. God does not command that you “kill in order to keep your stuff.” But he DOES command you take care of your immediate family first, as described in the article (it’s kind of the whole point of the article). And he commands you not to steal. How do you feed your Sons and Daughters if you’re doling all you stocks out to the Sons and Daughters of Men who failed in this basic endeavor? It’s not my, nor the author’s responsibility to look after your own, but yours. And remember the vast majority of this “golden horde” do not cling to the same spiritual convictions described here. If you do not freely give, and often, they will take. Likely they will just take anyways. For me and my family, this is a chosen lifestyle. We WANT to live this way. Free of the need for charity from others, or the fatalistic attitude that we will simply lay down because, “meh…what can you do?” We have families that count on us to carry the day, regardless how bleak the forecast, and we refuse to let our children down in this responsibility.

      Good luck and Godspeed.
