RURAL FOLK: BEWARE THE MASS URBAN EXODUS
I would encourage all American Partisan readers to study the two Daily Mail articles linked below very carefully. The millions who are fleeing Paris, and the millions who are preparing to flee London, do not all have standing invitations from rural cousins to come out and stay a while. They have no plan other than “get to the country, then figure something out.” This tweet from the Daily Mail article gives you one idea of an evacuation plan: “Take over a mansion.”
Now, in the American context, it might not be new and more draconian Covid-19 lockdowns that spurs a rash of mass exoduses from our major cities, it might be civil disorder, looting, riots and widespread arson. In any event, rural folks had better start thinking about ways to stop a flood of angry, frightened, hungry and dehydrated city dwellers who might be arriving in their zip-code on short notice.
I’m reminded of a Hurricane Katrina story that was once well known on Arfcom. A fellow in northern Louisiana had told a few prepper friends that they could park their RVs on his small farm. So far so good, but friends told friends, the address was passed around, and soon every square foot of the tract was covered in RVs and tents. It wasn’t long before a power shift occurred, and a “committee” of RV-dwelling perfect strangers marched to the house to demand access to the facilities. The owner of the land was no longer calling the shots, simply by weight of numbers.
Have a plan to keep this from happening in your AO, even if it means temporarily blocking bridges or other choke points.

All rural areas will go up in population, I figure all my neighbors will have 3 to 10 friends/ family ( or more) . Plus the escapees. And that is to mostly unprepared country folk. You just have to hope they remember food and bedding.
Definitely.
You doxxed your email buddy. Might be time to 86 that one.
I know him. There ain’t nothing they can do with that email.
One compromise: if they stay in our locale, they have to provide manual labor for food production and construction. Now is the time to establish hierarchies based on family and move away from anarco-individualism.
The easiest way to define boundaries is “the clan” is anybody you can’t marry for reasons of preventing incest. Anybody who truly wants to join must marry in.
Fuedalism was a contract based society. Oaths, Marriages, and pledges were the currency. Marx’s theories on Fuedalism being an oppressive, negative hyper Patriarchy are wrong. Sadly, Marx’s views have so permeated our society that a civilization based on oaths, marriages, and pledges as a binding contract are considered “bad”. What a joke.
Very wise observations above.
Believe it or not, I was actually taught that by one of my favorite professors. She actually dedicated an entire class to dispelling myths on Feudal Society. Apparently, not too long ago, when peasants did not have access to firewood or coal(cause they had no land or money), they would get married to prevent themselves from freezing to death.
Sleeping together in a “Ranger Buddy” style similar to the Military. I am no fan of sleeping half naked with another guy, but when you only have a poncho and poncho liner(one each), you need to forgo normal behavior in favor of preventing cold weather casualties.
It was not unusual to get married in the winter a week or two after a death of a loved one. And those “Cousin Marriages” were actually to skirt laws concerning unmarried people living together. It was just people preventing each other from freezing to death alone in the mountains of Switzerland, Germany, and France.
It was a great class and I learned a lot about our middle age ancestors. More than any documentary could ever tell.
Then there is a one dog night, two dog night, three dog night
to stay warmer.
We have seen a lot of this since last spring. In the Ski Town in our county, the medium house price is 500K. People from the big city 300 miles south, are buying homes as soon as they come on the market. Homes from 500k to 1 million are are selling in a few days and there are often bidding wars. Also because of Covid and lack of work, people in RVs and tents have been camping out on public lands because the USFS and BLM closed the campgrounds. On one holiday weekend early in Covid, when people were heading back home, they passed through a town to the south of us and stripped the three markets there of all essentials, toilet paper, canned goods etc. like a herd of locusts This caused a lot of problems with the locals and forced the stores to put a limit on how much people can purchase in the future.
There was a survey done this summer by the largest trucking association in America. 79% of truckers said they would not deliver to cities that were having riots.
In smaller communities in our area homes are selling within days of hitting the market at full asking price. A close friend of mine wanted to get out of his small condo and buy a house. They were often sold before he could call a real estate office. He wised up and went into a real estate office and told them to call him as soon as a house was going on the market. They gave deference to locals.
People know something is up and those with money are buying rural like crazy.
During the Baltimore Riots of 2015 all the city dwellers left Baltimore to go back to their parents’ houses in NY, DE, or NJ. The college students who stayed local all had a flash vacation to somewhere on the credit card. Whatever happens on the Morning of the 4th will last two weeks. FWIW, the bars and dives in Baltimore never recovered from the 2015 riots. The white guys got tired of getting jumped by 4-5 black men and the white women got tired of being harassed and robbed. Or having their tops pulled down. Nothing returned to normal. I worked in a bar in the middle of Baltimore all summer and we didn’t have anyone come in to have a beer except on the 1st and the 15th. The bar I worked at used to have 2,000 people on a weekend come through. That number dropped to 50 people a weekend. To my knowledge, they never came back. The rest of the country can expect the same results. I am only curious and concerned if the power, or comms, goes down. As much as I despise the 24/7 fake news cycle, it’s nice to know I can still safely drive from Baltimore to Sante Fe without even a blink of trouble. After the 4th, those days might be over for some time. Maybe even ten or twenty years.
Good to hear from you Brother. You stay frosty out there, aight?
Hey buddy. How’s life? Getting cold and rainy around MD. This should last until May.
Baltimore looks like things may have changed since 2015. They tore things up so badly then that
what they looted and burned mostly stayed closed. Besides bars and restaurants with no customers
the drug and other retail stores never reopened and it hit the resident blacks hard.
When there was later widespread national rioting, looting and arson since, Baltimore remained
“relatively” quiet. Some yoot gangs did some small scale looting but not much arson and when
some Antifa, BLM instigators showed up at local protests the neighborhood blacks in the protest
stopped them as “not being from here” and from setting off commercial grade fireworks while
holding them for the cops to arrest. Interesting stuff as I had never seen That happen before.
Only a few neighborhoods rioted. And one mall was totally destroyed. But that mall was boarded up and trashed BEFORE the riots. They just finished it off.
The real, unwritten and unreported failure of civility was the city wide crime spree. Everything was vandalized or robbed. I have pictures from my friends neighborhood. 40 cars were smashed to pieces for literally no reason. People were dragged from vehicles. Liquor stores were robbed.
Literally every single business was robbed at 4:30 in the afternoon. The entire city came out of their houses at 4:30 sharp and everything went totally crazy. IT WAS WILD.
It was a giant crime spree across the ENTIRE city and into parts of the county. I cannot convey to you how serious it was. Listen to the police scanner audio. It sounded, and was, like COMPLETE nightmare.
I bet money this happens again, but with AK’s.
Yea,I dont comment on much on a computer sooo… I did not realize how this thing works . Live and learn . Thanks
You have no worries brother. You’re “beyond their grid”…a place many wish they were. :)
This week, large numbuhs of neu yuckuhs arrived in Texas. Visiting area gun stores, inquiring about CHL classes, weapons handling classes, and security guard classes. … interesting times.
Ooooooh! “New Yorkers” –this took me a while to figure out.
I believe we are in the Last Days. The start of the Tribulation. I have seen the Lord work miracles in my life. But what is all happening is written in Scripture. read the book of Revelation. I walked with the Lord for ,forty years.. He has a host of angels . Waring angels, protective angels and ministering angels. I know we need to use are common sense . I have been into end times for 40ty years. Yup. I am hoping the Rapture of the Church” all believers in Jesus Christ” will be taken up to heaven before the really bad stuff happens. I know this all sounds crazy , but read the last book of the new Testament. Even the war with China is in there. I was debating if i should write this. I have seen my daughter healed of bone cancer in her ankle just to mention one.
God has got this. He is working behind the scenes. This is a battle over good and evil. The Jews are talking to their Messiah. Who is really the Antichrist. Look it up. But i am still preparing. I live in the suburbs. May the Lord keep us all safe.
Donna, I feel very much the same way. I believe this is the End Times and all should prepare for this.
God does have this.
“Rapture retardism” such as the above has infected the conservative Christian Community in the past thee decades starting with Hal Lindsey and his series of books. Rapture Retardism has paralyzed the Christian conservative community–so much so that it has frozen them into innaction with these people waiting for supernatural redemption, rather than taking action for themselves. Rapture retardism is keepin about 40 million of these types from voting in their own interests in elections.
Truer words…
I keep looking for “the rapture” in my Bible, but so far, I can’t find it….
But, but, but it was in Left Behind!
The rapture is mentioned in a bunch of places; in the Greek it is harpazo. 1 Thessalonians 4:17, 2 Thessalonians 2:1, Matthew 24:31, Daniel 12:1-2, Isaiah 26:19.
But if you read those verses you will see that believers go through hell on earth before the rapture; they are raptured before ‘the Day of the Lord’ or God’s wrath. Christians lived in Europe during WW2 and had to go through it; what is coming will be much worse so better prepare. Also, Christians should not be afraid to die.
Truth. Fits right in with churchianity worldview – gonna be much wailing/nashing when their fantasy doesn’t come to pass.
Call on the Holy Spirit to hold you close. It worked for me when I should have died.
SitRep from Los Angeles…
LAX ammo has lots of ammo in stock. Most all calibers. I mean lots.
Friend was in the store as two ANTIFA-types purchased multiple thouand rounds of small caliber pistol ammo. I have a photo forwarded to me of them and will try somehow to post it. Long lines to get into this store.
Santa Monica police have quietly informed all business owners to board up their establishments a day and a half ago.
Reliable info on ANTIFA… am informed that the hotels in Culver City are being loaded up with ANTIFA operatives. Culver City is adjacent to Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and other Los Angeles areas that were looted and burned months ago.
All local gun store practically sold out with lines of people waiting to get in (for backorders). There are still reloading components available at Turners outlets however and the Pro Bass Shop in Rancho Cucamonga.
Good intel. Be careful. They are also taking pictures of you. I have ALOT of family in California. They love the people or whatever…
Out of the 39 million people in California–about 40% of them a conservatives. FYI–the majority of counties in California are very, very conservative. Only a few densely populated counties in California manage to completely control the state. Same with Oregon, Washington, Virginia and Illinois.
The conservatives in California since this Covid Hoax have been prepping up–and have gone into warp speed on ammo and gun sales when the rioting broke out months ago. Gun stores have been largely sold out and selling on an order basis. LAX Ammo mentioned above I found out is a distributor and their warehouse is piled high with ammo inventory.
Conservative scuttlebutt is largely about the coming violence inside of Los Angeles and the Bay Area. Talk is largely guarded. Groups are forming and organizing ad-hoc in the cities and surrounding communities. In the county (which is wildly conservative–much more than some areas in Texas), there is open militia organization (especially in Northern California).
Los Angeles FYI is a leftist/RevCom center of mass for counter-constitution, counter-administration propaganda with all the Hollywood-Mouthpieces/fund-raising, MSM studios, Hollywood studios, production centers, Talent Agencies, etc. (comprising at least 70% of the enemy propaganda center of mass in the USA).
To think ALL OF CALIFORNIA is a write-off is ludicrous and small.
I am seeing a lot of this stupid, short sighted think and comments lately.
If these insurrectionist areas/institutions/leftist actors are allowed to remain in power/influence post spicy time, you will in fact have have a replay and re-build of our current problems at a later date. Guranteed.
Conservatives in your face in Beverly Hills California…

How does anyone go into a store and buy thousands of rounds of ammo in commiefornia? There is a backround check and a 500 round per month limit. I call BS on this story.
I’m not saying pantifa isn’t stocking up but no one is going to a store in commiefornia and buying thousands of rounds even if it is in stock
For ammo purchases in CA there is a background check, but you are incorrect on the 500rd/mo limit. That is not a CA wide infringement, might be local to your county/municipality or the policy of your FFLs/vendors. Case lots of 1000rds are regularly sold at my local FFL.
What I see in NorCal is consistent with Shinmen’s posts above.
There is no rounds limit on ammo sales in cali. There is a background check every time you purchase and it costs 1 dollar… if you are in the system here. Your comments come from sheer lack of knowledge, politically and geographically and is rooted in deep bias from everything not in you toilet paper tube field of view of living in the sticks.
Your post is complete disinformation.
I just received two texts from two separate individuals who are confirming that ANTIFA is pre-positioning themselves in hotels in and around Culver City (next to Los Angeles). One of them “Mr. M” is a resident in El Segundo. He spoke to an El Segundo police officer this evening and this information was repeated by the police officer. I am guessing that they are getting daily briefings on the situation to unfold, as well as other police agencies.

We in the rural parts who have been preparing for this…zeroing….cutting wood…doing farm work….loading trucks with hay….cutting more wood….just endless hard work…it takes calories. Lots of em. My question is, how are these inner city badboys gonna make it 50, 60, 70 miles out into the country, when its cold, raining, snowing, and they’re hungry, but don’t know how to hunt, how are they gonna have the energy to fight the farmboy, rancher, cowboy, when they don’t have the 1st idea on how to hunt, fish, or to find witches butter, or to know what nuts,, berries, plant they can eat… or anything else in nature to give em an edge? Anything that won’t poison them? If they show up in my AO, I will be cautious, but I will not believe they have enough caloric intake to think they are ready to give back what they take.
I do not think they have any idea what the Mossy Oak Militia has been taught by the time he was 6 or 7.
The Mossy Oak Militia is alive and well!
You’re goddamned right.
Hey, thanks for the tip on Witch’s Butter. I’ve boned up on foraging over the years, and do so regularly on my property in rural MO, but for some reason had missed this one. I see it often in the cold months, so it’ll come in handy.
I doubt your average semi-healthy urban dweller can make more than 60 miles in 3 days. After that, their feet will be toast and their resources low and they’ll have no idea what they’re doing. And they have no idea where they’re going or how to get where there. And they’ll be going up against rested folks on their home ground. BUT, as Stalin said, quantity has a quality all its own.
The northern hills of New England have seen housing sell quickly,that said,so far,not a mad rush in these parts.
I guess the next few weeks will be the real test,really loved visiting Europe when I was 15 one summer with me folks,was their plan for trying to mend a marriage,why I was along a ? to say the least.I went off on me own with some monies(thanks dad),hit France/Ireland/outer GB ect. as a kid and at time no one blinked(40+ years ago).I really wish hit Europe again as a young adult,never happened but will say back then was welcomed everywhere I went even though on a modest wallet(including bars as a young lad).
All i can say is best of luck to all of us,lets try and all do the right thing in tough times and meet on the other side for a coffee/beer ect.
So let’s say a person is in a rural and defensible area already. Looking for suggestions or to start a discussion about how and when the lid gets put on and the roads get blocked, no one else allowed in. To maintain inner AO peace, I would expect that the decision comes from the top LEO, in many cases the sheriff. How does one broach the subject with him?

When the dust settles, don’t allow out of towners the right to vote. That’d be limited to their Grandchildren if they don’t leave the area. They only know that the area they’re in is better than the one they left. They don’t know what it took to make the place better so they need to shut up and pay attention. If they don’t like it, or their kids don’t like it, they can leave and take their left wing cancer with them. They’re guests and there’s no amount of money that can make them locals.

With the worry about large metro areas bracing for the perceived coming shit show, many small rural areas remain unaffected (such as ours in southwest/central New Mexico. We are very far off the one major inter-state (I-25) and halfway between two major cities (Albuquerque and El Paso). Better yet, ALL property here is private and most all locals have no interest of coddling ‘out siders’ ….. happy days for us assuming supply lines are not too disrupted (food, fuel and such). We’ll see what comes about but I for one am kind of looking forward to the possibility of a reset ………..
“I’m reminded of a Hurricane Katrina story that was once well known on Arfcom. A fellow in northern Louisiana…”
That was Bayou Renaissance. I posted his lessons learned here a few weeks ago.
Very interesting.

Good to dispel those myths, Brother. Our west we have winter ( as you know) and most of us are clothed and equipped for it. Most of us can operate in the weather as well.
Took a new guy friend of Lineman’s to the range on Friday to check zero and do some pistol work. We’re taking care of our kind.
Stay loose Brother.
