Advice on Avoiding The Government Watch List

The Survivalist Blog : “Advice on Avoiding The Government Watch List” plus 1 more Advice on Avoiding The Government Watch List Posted: 30 Mar 2011 09:21 AM PDT I’ve recently seen a lot of ads for various print newsletters (ie: Lamplighter & Complete Survivalist). While they could be interesting, I’m a bit hesitant of getting on a mailing list like theirs (sending you my info for your great CD didn’t bother me at all LOL). Am I being paranoid? Not only due to opsec concern and being on a list of someone who may have extra food on hand but I also don’t want to become associated with some radical group. What you do think about these “publications”? Thanks! Lisa, The U.S. Government ‘s Consolidated Terrorist Watch List is no secret, but its official contents (those people on the list) are off-limits to the public. According to the feds, this is a list of people, “known or appropriately suspected to be or have been engaged in conduct constituting, in preparation for, in aid of, or related to terrorism [source: The White House].” You or I could already be on the list and not know… As of 2007 there were over 755,000 names on the list of people both at home and abroad. I’m sure that number has ballooned since then. Here is a good article on how people are “chosen” for the list. How do you find out if you are on “the list” according to the article: “The easiest way to find out is to take an airplane trip. It doesn’t matter the destination, just try booking a flight and see what happens. The Transportation Security Administration that oversees air travel in the United States will automatically flag anyone with a name on the TSC’s master list. As a result, when you arrive at the airport, someone will likely pull you aside for an extensive security check and possibly questioning before permitting you to board.” If you are concerned about being added to the list because of the type of publications you receive or because you are on a prepper / survivalist mailing list, you should look into a mail forwarding service. These allow you to have a mailing address in another state, you can also use an assumed name when signing up to receive mail from the sources in question. I use a mail forwarding service (for certain types of publications ) in AZ and have the mail forwarded to a P.O. box of a deceased friend who gave me his keys before he passed away – I pay the rental fee once a year to keep the box open. This has worked great for several years… I’m sure Survivalist Blog readers have a wealth of other ideas on how to get mail deliver privately – please share your ideas in the comments below… Post from: The Survivalist Blog dot Net - Copyright © 2010 - All Rights Reserved - If you are reading this post on any other site it was stolen by someone too lazy or stupid to write their own content.

Florence N Ammo cans are great for storing ammunition (of course) and other small pieces of survival gear such as non-hybrid garden seed and medical supplies. A google search for “ammo cans” will bring up a slew of results from vendors such as The Sportsman’s Guide and Coleman’s Military Surplus. The trouble with ordering is that sometimes you will have to pay more for shipping than the ammo can… I have over 30 of these cans, mostly containing ammo and hybrid and non-hybrid garden seed, with the bulk of my cans being bought from a local military surplus store (now closed) for $5 each. If possible buy locally the cans are often priced lower than the same cans carried by online vendors and you won’t have to pay those outrageous shipping charges. Before you buy, inspect the can for dents, holes or deep rust. Pay particularly close attention to the gasket that seals the lid around the top of the can, if this is damaged you may not get a water tight seal which is what you want when storing garden seed and ammo. I paint can containing ammunition black and leave the ones containing my garden seed the original olive drab. If you can’t find surplus military ammo cans locally the Flambeau 18″ Zerust Dry Box from Wal-Mart is a great alternative. -M.D. Creekmore Post from: The Survivalist Blog dot Net - Copyright © 2010 - All Rights Reserved - If you are reading this post on any other site it was stolen by someone too lazy or stupid to write their own content.
