i know it is unrealistic. i was just pounding it out really fast and then posted it thinking it was fairly humorous. then i got to thinking about it. when i was active duty we would have excercises - the theory was that we could move the functions of an entire air base in 72 hours. the whole process started with a telephone call from the base commander, who would have been notified from the really higher-ups. some of us were sitting around BSing the idea of what would happen if there were some folks who wanted a coup? wouldn't activating a few bases on the premise of "defending" the government in DC from a coup be the easiest way to get it started.

anyway - for me and mine i don't want any special equipment. normal firearms that won't sound out of place if fired, good quality camping equipment, non-perishable food stuffs, military mre's i have 2 dependable offroad vehicles of a common make and model, functional non-military clothing so as not to draw too much attention. a couple of different mountain cabin locations within 1-3 hours drive... not that i day dream about it at all.
