Another great read from the Mountain Guerrilla. mountainguerrilla.wordpress.com/2013/03/23/development-of-the-auxiliary/#comment-3297"We who are active in the Liberty movement, especially many of us in the blogosphere, like to throw out the III% label, perhaps too quickly in many cases. The reality is, while yes, only three percent of the colonials actively took the field against the British Empire at any one time, the division of support between the warring elements was closer to thirds: one-third supported the rebellion, one-third supported the Crown, and one-third just didn’t give a shit, as long as their kids were housed and fed. After all, neither Thomas Jefferson nor Benjamin Franklin ever took the field of battle during the conflict….were they somehow less dedicated to the Cause? " The Auxiliary will keep the war-fighters in the fight. Without an effective Auxiliary the guerrillas don't stand a chance.

I can't remember you talking about 5 gallon buckets this week. We need to be honest about this, and a 5 gallon bucket will not go far. A dozen ducks can provide enough eggs for a family and a few for the troops. Would four goats supply enough milk for a family and some for the troops? I know four cows would. The ducks, chickens, goats, sheep, pigs, cows, and other farm animals can be raised by anyone in the country. They can provide more than enough food for a family and even have some left over for the troops. An acre garden can go a long way to feed a family and put some aside for the troops. I know not everyone lives where they can do that, but how many live where they can, and do not? In Vietnam, it was said whoever controlled the rice controlled the country. I supect it will be the same here, if we are in a knock down drag out fight for the future of this coutry.

On a side note, blood and poop from those animals can be useful to make gun powder, explosives, and grow crops.
Animal poop is not always a bad thing.

The supply lines are key!This can not be stressed enough!You can have all the numbers(we do).You can have all the arms(we do).You can have all the rounds(we do).BUT!If you run out of food/water/fuels,everything grinds to a halt and the enemy simple out maneuvers you...Support,support,support!

We all have to look at the insurrections in Libya and now in Syria. These out of country trained rebels with American supplied support are starting to shut down modern armies. We can all count on no one doing that for our actions. The check cashers will not do it for fear the check will stop. The debit card recipients will not or the card stops being valid. The politicians won't or their warchests will be confiscated. Who is left? WE THE PEOPLEThe original 3% to 10% who will value their freedom over the perks of slavery. Our only plus is that these same non helping groups will find their perks harder to use as the value of the money gets worse. When ever a check is canceled a patriot will rise up. When ever a free phone is cut off a rebel will spring forth. When is enough?

We need to be honest about this, and a 5 gallon bucket will not go far. Out of these two, I'm willing to bet the pail will carry more Ammo... more than a case of MRE's, More... well you get the picture.

We each need to have a few 5 gallon buckets, together we can at least make a dent in the supply chain. We can hope that gets us enough supplies to go get more.

We each need to have a few 5 gallon buckets Well Duh! How many do you think have actually done it? PS I have a wall of 5 gallon buckets full of food and stuff. Someone was bit...aahh complaining about it yesterday. I guess enough food for a year and enough seeds to grow crops by the field takes up too much space. I don't have any of ammo i 5 gallon buckets. The are ammo is in cans, battle packs, or bandoleers. All of those will be easier to carry than a 5 galloon bucket of ammo. Even if you can't just bury the bandoleers of ammo.
