Danger area..... while you bug out or run security for your community.

[GATMANoo7]

Good vid , the auto adjust killed my eyes though haha. How do you go about organizing a neighborhood security group ?

[youtubaphobia]

Has anyone discussed using power lines as a means of long distance travel?

I was looking at google maps & said to myself, what the heck are those straight swaths going thru these semi-populated areas?

I was able to map ways around where no one would see me for miles.

The only downsides I can think of are like Dave says, its a danger area being open. If you were to come over a rise who knows what..

If there were a solar flare or worse, who knows who would be patroling or fixing..

trespass issue?

[c2morrow1]

Like all your vids. Just wanted to know if you have heard anything of the russians are exploding nuks again? It seems that they are doing it in the Siberian regeign and the fall out is slowly moving in our direction by the upper jet streem.  If this is so, then I would think someone needs to talk about fallout.

[585michael]

very informative!!! Thank you I'm learning so much!!!!

[recordmanful]

Easier method: select everyone, order attack-move. You will mow down anything in your path, it's called the ball of doom.

[bikenutter1]

Not that we guns here in the UK, so not so relevant, but interesting viewing none the less.

[kaczka81]

8:46 what if your open area is an ocean?

[guapman11]

dude this was good stuff, if the rating werent disaled id'a hit the like

[borderraven]

Since mt Boy Scout days, I've been an asymmetrical - dead-reckoning navigator.

I read topo maps and terrain and navigate cross country.

[grantfunding]

why did the chicken cross the road?

[Phrantix08]

I've used the "Leap Frog" formation in an airsoft competition once, almost everyone didn't know what it was, so to those who don't know what "Leap Frogging" is that he's talking about, there's a scene in "Tears of the Sun" that actually show them "Leap Frogging" to get you a good idea on what it is.

[AmericanMade72]

I love these kinds of videos

[zombiekillerjordan]

Great info, thank you.

[Norskand67]

Keep,them comming please

[Norskand67]

@southernprepper1. Great whiteboard concepts m

[a2zhandi]

The saddest part of any bug out plan is, they have lots of helicopters with night vision.

They'll round em up like cattle.

[Survivalvideos1]

@a2zhandi very true, some of them might have thermal vision also

[MarkyMarkDenver]

Hey Southern Prepper, Could you put all your offensive and defensive videos like this in a play list? You wouldn't believe how hard it is, to obtain this type of training for a civilian.

[alientestosterone]

By the way all Military Manual can be looked up online so find what you need to know an print out copys if you can that way youll always have it to go back to.Like anyskill You learn or pick up,if you dont use them you lose them so makeing copys of stuff for yourself or group will help down the road if you cant buy these Manual's

[alientestosterone]

2 more books for those who would like tactical information,21-76 US Army Ranger Handbook & STP 21-1-SMCT this is the Army Soldiers Manual of Common Tasks.These Manual's are Skill Level base so STP 21 - 1 is skill leavel 1/for someone jus learning...Hope it helps

[pfcwar5150]

@southernprepper1 ..whats Ron Pauls bad points?

[southernprepper1]

@pfcwar5150 Iam not going to make this go political here because we could be here all day long.....some of his foreign policy scare me.

[pfcwar5150]

@southernprepper1 ...To each his own,..keep up the good work!..RP2012!

[jerrydff7]

hey southernprepper1 i now this is soo randum but who are you going to vote for?

[southernprepper1]

@jerrydff7 probably Ron Paul

[greenmarcosu]

@southernprepper1 No thumbs up so I will just second that idea!

[tanker0wns1]

@southernprepper1 can you please make a video explaining why. i like your channel and i thought you would have made a video of it by now. I just dont understand how the average american is stupid enough to vote for corperate lobbyists, cheaters, and israel firsters. I am sad to say my fellow american has become stupid and doesent care about freedom. As 'stormcloudsgathering' says, "keep your mind rigid, your thoughts limited, and keep watching football".

[tommy0135]

@southernprepper1 probably??

[jerrydff7]

@southernprepper1 YES!!!! you rock!!! loll :D

[southernprepper1]

@southernprepper1 Yes I just voted and Ron got my vote

[Drone1njj]

@southernprepper1

Way to go brother. Ron Paul 2012. Restore America Now!!!!!!! Join The R3volution. Be Safe

[pfcwar5150]

@southernprepper1 ..Thank You SP1!... America thanks you! The world thanks you!..You are a Patriot! Much Respect! ...Pfc..

[cullen61918]

@southernprepper1 Ron Paul = Doomsday, at least you'll be prepared

[notanotherCoDfan]

@southernprepper1 if southernprepper1 likes ron paul, then he must be good :D

[a2zhandi]

@southernprepper1 watch?v=WrFyUAz31PI

You'll see how it's a total waste of time

[darbone]

@southernprepper1 I am in TX, gay, liberal, Atheist, and I am voting Ron Paul. We may not have a lot in common, but I think we can identify common sense when we see it. I voted Obama and have never been more disappointed. NDAA, come on. Ron Paul won't win, electronic voting will assure that, but I will "cast" my ballot anyway in 2012.

[cwes41]

Thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate it.

[jukokerguy]

i was wondering what radio equipment i would need to contact you in a WROL situation and also

[cwes41]

Southernprepper1, thanks for the valuable tactical information. I've been looking for information like this. Are their any Army manuals or other manuals availablle with tactical information like this? I was never in a ground combat force. Thanks in advance.

[southernprepper1]

@cwes41 the best one would be the infantry bible or FM 7-8

[LUMBEE031]

@southernprepper1 YOUR ANTI RON PAUL????

[southernsureshot]

awesome video on some a sop subject that everyone should know

[TheTxtreeman]

Great video as always!

[bogesk]

Mate, this vid gave me flashbacks. Where I come from it was called IMT. Infantry Minor Tactics, it's amazing how military service can help deal with difficult situations and problem solving.

[jdhein9]

Good vid! More please!

[1canadianprepper]

Hello sp1 Thankyou for all the effort you put in for us.i hear you will be speaking at the conference March 3. We have nothing like this in Canada so i am thinking of flying in for this.

[jamesfreddyc]

A real "tactical" video. How refreshing.

[roninbudo]

a+++ vid thanks

[loxpidor]

You allways talk about group tactics, however in most cases of shtf, an average prepper wouldn't manage to put together a survival group. To protect his family he would have to rely solely on his own combat skills, since he wouldnt want to put inexperienced and unreliable people on the line. Could you put some solo sharpshooter tips out? Perheaps explain how a trained group would respond to a sniper long range attack?

[bluetunder40]

Real Nice Job

[flwalt]

For those of us that live in the city if we have a retreat established and it comes time to bug out it is most likely that we will need to take a vehicle and travel roads to get to the planned location. What are your thoughts on how to travel as safely as possible from home in the city to a retreat possibly hundreds of miles away? Consider single vehicle versus convoy, types of vehicles, number of people per vehicle, road security, etc. Thanks.

[skunkape49]

cool

[SoloPrepper]

great video, thanks!

[BrownDogDuke]

Great video SP1. I hope that you will post more like this. Great refresher class. Thanks.

[jdziedzic11]

I LOVE these videos, please make more of these kinds of videos to help people learn the military strategies that you have learned from serving

[teveler]

I would be interested in a post on how to deal with road blocks or groups of people demanding tolls. I could imagine in a real WROL that some groups would try to block through fares. I know staying covered is the best answer but I am sure there would be some situations that a road would be the only option.

[YTMegiddo]

Great stuff Southernprepper1, great stuff. I've been going through your videos. You've put lots of good information together. Way above and beyond the call of duty!!!

[Redbirds1100]

Hi Southernprepper1 great video keep up the good work.

[mainear]

Thank you for teaching these techniques. Some of us don't have this life experience and this is very helpful.

[mtower235]

Good job there Troop! Green 2 reports, pace counts on 90s, leapfrog, bounding overwatch etc. Lots to learn for the average prepper, cant just store shampoo and "make it". Guys this movement is taxing, mentally and physically. Now is the time to practice, dont have to be all decked out, just walk it and try not to be seen when crossing roadways with the family or do the leapfrog but not looking tactical. Also remember to tap the last man as you pass them so they know they are last and can move.

[robert210756]

good info thanks

[Erik22552]

As always, concise info! Getting others that have had no military training onboard with handsignals especially hooking up with new groups of people can be a challenge hahaha. Like trying to teach someone how to move quietly through the woods.

[BitFox]

How my kids will cross the street. no exeption.

[carlos45703030]

Thanks a lot, very useful info.

[LivingHistorySchool]

Good Stuff, back to the beginning with your partner white board.

[mojopin12]

Thank you for posting

[PatriotTex]

Great briefing! Keep up the very nice work.

[Im4hm]

That was very helpful. Thank you.

[jat1668]

Thank you

[bigdogbuc]

Great info, thanks for sharing!

[bigdogbuc]

Great info, thanks for sharing!

[anthonynerf13]

If you come across a group of people tents and food on a camp fire try and get a volenter to take of his kit to look refuge like and get snipers to watch him/her and the hostiles and then he/she could walk slowly in to camp and ask for help they give help he/she gives a stcret signal like coughing into a fist and then tells the group about your group and do they whant to join forces? And if yes they turn towards your group and waves signaling its safe and then you are safer and stronger than be

[MrRogueShark]

Good video and job well done.

[leadpersuasion]

Excellent video!

[twbigdogsgirl]

This is some awesome information. I wish we lived closer so you could teach me some of this stuff one on one. But I am in the foothills of NC, so not close enough. :(

[jackkoo1234]

thanks so much for all you do

[n2wilderness]

Great video! More like this please!

[greekcabanaboy]

great video sir, could I request more videos on this subject (strategy/etc.) because i fear that we will all need your expertise in the days to come. thank you and have a wonderful day.

[DontTreadOnME201]

Great video sir! Thanks for your service and videos. Can we please have MORE tactics videos? Thanks again!

[timhald]

Absolutely fantastic one of the best summary presentation on movement and related tactics

Nailed it thank you

Thus type of training is essential

[survifall]

Great video, thank you!

[IronRangeSurvival]

MORE of this stuff is appreciated

[laztek1]

I'm in a highly populated city within a huge valley and I am on top of one side and mu brother is on the other side. I would not make it alive to his house unless I traveled alone fast at night and was using night or thermal to see oncoming threats. I would need armor and high capacity AK type weaponry. Good luck to me right.

[RollerPigg]

@Southernprepper1 I have two questions: 1) Would crossing a bridge be treated the same as the last scenario, i.e. a large unavoidable DA, or are there different tactics for that? (I'd be interested in a vid on that, if it merits one). 2) I'd also be very interested in learning more hand signals, like you demonstrated in this video. Is there a source of info for those? Really good info, great vid. Thanks!

[buggymak]

Good video !!! when moving across an open area to prevent a sniper shot you run in a zig zag movements so the sniper is going to work very hard to get you !!! just a little tip from the army !!

[Morbo878]

A very good presentation southernprepper1. Moving across open areas....A very scary proposition in dangerous times. My biggest fear in this scenario is snipers. A very dangerous and difficult to counter enemy.

[MrScorpion18b]

Another way you could make this sink in for folks" would be to show how an ambush would be carried out on that same road position. BTW" I personally don't believe our troops are the ones you have to worry about. If the SHTF there will be bad folks out there exploiting others. Lets hope things don't get that bad though. Peace

[MrScorpion18b]

Nice presentation" Standard Diamond "Forward Assault Formation" with Flanking Observation and Central Fire Control. With this simple configuration, you may also execute a bounding over-watch to quickly move forward to cover or rapidly seize control of an elevated position. One more thing" if you are forced to move down a highway, "Never - Ever" allow yourself to be trapped between two elevated positions. If your moving through a contested area. Stop,look,listen,think,plan,pr­epare,execute.

[gazedrop]

Your vids are always great food for thought and to catalog back into the brain... A great companion to this one would be a demonstration of basic military hand signals.

[lumberjak5010]

well done..I'd like to see some more basic hand signals so people know how to communicate silently..thanks

[MascisMan1]

Road guards....POST!

[BUDDYSNORES]

Thanks, excellent video

[knockyoursocksoff71]

Love your videos, thanks

[WheepingWillow2]

thank you so much for the board lesson, it was great.

[MrGochiefs1]

Love the white board! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Looking forward to more white board, maybe some patrol/squad stuff and proper spacing between members/field of fire.

Also would like to see some observation post/listening post stuff, how to construct and operate. Thanks again.

[Timisso1337]

very awesome. Possibly answered in your other videos but I was just wondering how the non combatants would be handled in the leap frog method? would you break them up into two groups and have them leap frog with the combatant group they were assigned to or would it be better to keep them all together maybe assign them to one particular group so there was less confusion and chance of someone getting left behind?

[TheRedneckprepper]

wow you must be real bussy lately ?

[blossombogart2]

this kind of stuff seems very common sense, after you point it out though. helping us learn to be in the right state of mind, being alert and aware etc....this is all such great stuff, you could/will be actually saving lives SP, thank you for your time .....

[bladeimm]

Thank you.

[Gadsden556]

i love these types of videos, it makes it easy that's forsure. Why contour over detour or vice versa? what depicts which method you would use?

[OEFvet1986]

Great refresher for me, thanks.

[apollos215]

RETURN OF THE WHITE BOARD!!!!!!!!!!

[agjr87]

great information, thanks for sharing

[Optionsaregood]

Excellent advice, I learned the same stuff in the Australian Army Reserve, we had slightly different names for things, but its just as usefull.

[Solon6633]

Who do you REALLY think our 'enemy' will be if the SHTF?,.. fellow americans? just asking, honestly.

[Timisso1337]

@Solon6633 anyone shooting at you haha.

[angelfoodcakeface]

i know you have alot of requests for vids... probably when the time allows, should do a vid on slit trenches. their placement and concealment. e-tools ho!

[DIECASTER]

I think I'll just stay inside...^_^

[warduckythe1st]

nice vid,you are making alot of bugout videos lately why not a in depth view on weapon distribution, who leaves camp and with who and when(scheduled times), nighttime patrol, distraction ect.

[bxxj]

my father told me a story of how tactics saved his ass in koria. he was 15 miles behind the lines marching back. can you talk about how to deal with blind areas such as going over a hill or ditches or when you must take the low ground between 2 hills.

as usual common sense but important to know and understand. thanx

[MrM2hb]

Good vid southernprepper. learned some useful stuff.

[InTheSticks0001]

TX!

[NJprepper321]

another great quality video! im a low budget prepper, knowledge is power and for your teachings i thank you good sir. Your videos are the reason ive created an account and started to make my own videos. THANKS AGAIN BUDDY!

[cattnipp]

Thanks!

[angelfoodcakeface]

if every able bodied male in america went through an osut basic training upon graduation of high school, every man in our country could perform squad movements, know the commo, the signals, etc... i believe it would make for LESS racism and MORE real brotherly love! it would be something every man could have in common... meanwhile, we guard opium/oil fields :(

[southernprepper1]

@angelfoodcakeface Very good comment....Thanks for posting it.

[Timisso1337]

@angelfoodcakeface or woman....

[olhsaoagpaigfbp]

@angelfoodcakeface Not American,but I think that's a good cheap way to increase your national security,since no nation dares to attack US because of the large number armed civilians,it would be even better if those people had mil training without obligation to go guard opium/oil fields and stay home,I would make it voluntary program though.

[tacticalshooter556]

@angelfoodcakeface FUCK YES, was just explaining this concept to my father a few hours ago.

[RollerPigg]

@angelfoodcakeface They do that in Russia, I think... that's why it would never happen unless the draft was in place. The public schools here are all state run (just like Russia), and the gvt wouldn't pay for that training unless they were able to get the return on investment. [cringe] The gvt wouldn't ever implement such a thing for us/for our own protection of ourselves. They don't even like the fact that we have a 2nd amendment, but We the People won't let them get rid of it!

[KentuckianaRifleman]

@angelfoodcakeface I couldn't agree more, its seems only the veterans of this country are "awake"

[thegbpackers284]

@angelfoodcakeface Great comment!

[The1LastPatriot]

good stuff!

[angelfoodcakeface]

very effective box/clover forward security with the linear crossing! our drill sgts made us do this 5 times one night bc we didn't understand the concept. you explained it in 2 mins on a board! HIGHSPEED brother!

[Iam1uglyguy]

Good stuff as always.

[jsholt123]

it does help a lot man, it's commonsense tactics that even though we are of a protective mind that some of us just do not have as a skill. it also puts things a little more in perspective when you start trying to show us all these tactics. i know it might not seem like much man but it's truly a sign of the times and as always thank you for your effort here and your service. question: how would your tactics change for say mountains like say in southeast Tennessee?

[southernprepper1]

@jsholt123 Iam thinking that your hilly and more mountains then me so spacing between elements and people would get closer so more control over people and if you where out west with open ground you would get more space between people because you can still control their actions and they can see what is going on. In a defense try to control the draws and spurs of the mountain where people can get up and down. The natural line of drifts would funnel people more in mountians than flat ground.

[jsholt123]

@southernprepper1 thanks and yeah you could say it's hilly it has it's advantages though.

[southernprepper1]

@jsholt123 I would take hilly anytime. Harder for tracked vehicles and easier to hid from rotary or fixed aircraft looking for you. Hilly aids itself to guerrilla warfare and staying alive if the crap hits the fan,

[jsholt123]

@southernprepper1 amen lol, and no lack of caves either. never thought about the guerrilla warfare but your right i mean they have been doing it like that in central and south america for one or two years lol makes sense to work with what ya got and whats around. also the abundance of free water doesn't hurt either

[bfs1971]

@southernprepper1 great video, thanks for taking the time to records this.

[MondernoVids]

Good job man.

[spinnerky2]

Very good info, and something I had not thought about. Thankyou!!!

[EarthshipFreedom]

Great info. Any chance you could do a river cross with a group? The missouri river average width is 1/4 mile,it wouldnt be easy.

[southernprepper1]

@EarthshipFreedom That would be very difficult with trained people I have never done that far of a river crossing personally. You might have to find a small boat or build a raft very difficult with elderly and children. Probably impossible without a boat.

[MSGDREWRY]

excellent briefing Sarge -  would you add to cross a road in a curve if possible so they don't have a long sight path to where you are?

[Duane77able]

I'd like to see a video of tactical hand signals. Or did you already do one? just an idea.

Great vids, thanks!

[southernprepper1]

@Duane77able I havent done a hand signal video yet. David

[aceofdiamonds2012]

thank you

[CorBosmatube]

Great, I like these white board sessions. Do you have any other tactics or advice/insights out of experience. Could you share some tips for small groups couple's or individuals in shtf situations, crossing danger zones in urban/agricultural regions, with small scattered woods.

Surthrival for the win.

[JUSTANOTHERDAY333333]

great to see you making these videos again i realy am learning alot of things id wondered about before thank you so much keep it up!

[jfaerr]

Excellent video as always SP!

[MidTnPrep]

Great info ....Thanks!

[Floridainfidel]

Good to seen you back to vids, hope all is well with your sons foot. Later.
