I would love to have this discussion with you SS.

It would be a pleasure to transfer some knowledge that might keep you alive in a tight spot and let you prepare for the bumps along the road.

It is simply impossible to do so with all the trolling and negative reaction to every answer any of us with knowledge on this subject
are exposed too when trying to answer.

I have fought "civilian armies" as well as fully equipped troops. I have set up defenses for outposts, safe houses and refugee camps on three continents, sometimes with plenty of equipment and support and sometimes with none of the normal equipment.

So have others here but, as you can see, we are being shouted down by people on a "survival forum" that are in complete denial.

Running this gauntlet of abuse is clouding the subject matter and making any advice an incomprehensible mess among the sniping.

I suppose we will need to switch to PM mode if we wish to convey serious information, depriving the general forum population of any knowledge.
