Уклонение Выживания Аляска / 逃避生存，阿拉斯加
Here on my page I will try to guide the visitors through a general
overview of my preparations for the coming collapse as I see fit for one man. I will stick to my
Escape & Evasion plans and related topics that I think would be
helpful or of general interest to the visitors as a whole. This is not
about 'show and tell' to boast to the world about all my capabilities, kit,
supplies, number of shelters or where, shooting skills, gear/gun stores, or anything i see as critical about my over-all effectiveness and safety. In fact I will be seriously cutting back on what I show in future updates and posts, thus denying the poachers and trolls of their desired sustenance. This will be simply a tailored overview with much
editing done to preserve functional integrity/ Personal/Private Security. Also I'm NOT a word-smith, so beware.. haha.
I will use lessons of the old schools, and lessons of new, that
are relevant bits and pieces that I can employ into my current state of
planning, and in the execution of various tasks
to show examples of what I'm doing. I have continued to commit myself
to this over plan for over a decade, or more without fail. I have over a
decade of
experiences in the Alaska wilds and even more else where in the US and
from many trips to Europe .
For
me Its all about the plan and committing to it- PERIOD. I call this
over all plan "The Spider-Web" strategy in Ft. Wilderness. My name for
the wilderness of Alaska is "Ft Wilderness" because it truly is an
impenetrable fortress. My SPIDER WEB
strategy will endure and ensure that I have an honest chance to make it
through the collapse, whether its from foreign Invasion or any event that
causes catastrophic social unrest to the point civil disobedience and chaos causes things to shut down. The key being that it removes me
from the equation of destruction at the- ground 0 event- . At my current
state of preparations and readiness I could disappear in moments if the
hammer dropped now. In the last few years all my experiences here in
Alaska have really come together to make this plan possible through maturation. Despite my vast experiences I'm
still learning and adding to my over all strategy and tactics. This
will never end. In latter half of 2016 I basically vanished from most of
my internet dwellings and re-prioritized my habits simply to focus on
the plan and putting it together. This included a radical up step in
physical training and body conditioning.
This is
NOT an offensive plan. I'm not a Guerilla or Insurgent though a lot of what i do is based on the UW model. It's a plan to
escape and evade and thus -survive and thrive- in the wilderness of
Alaska, and on the outskirts of towns and cities when the hammer drops. The goal is to simply to escape the chaos
and evade the threats by retreating to the wilderness where there's a
network of pre-constructed shelters and survival pods stocked
with non-perishable supplies waiting to be used. Its a simple plan to
remain mobile and remain alive until the "Great Purge" has exhaled and
thinned out
the chaos, thus a new social equilibrium has been created that will give
me a chance to make further planning. This removes the crippling
"Crystal Ball" effect i see far too many ppl using in thinking they know
what it will be like after the hammer drops. I'm more concerned with
surviving it just dropping- Ill plan for the rest when I know what it
is..
There's really nothing fancy about this plan. Keeping it simple
makes it smooth, flowing and applicable for my personal situation.
However putting it together is another story though. The terrain,
climate, weather, and distances required is uncompromisingly destructive and dangerous.
That's 100% unavoidable and has proved to be thoroughly punishing,
physically/mentally demanding and very time consuming. But that's life in the big
wilderness. Whats more is the harder I work at it now, the less I'll
have to work at it later if/when the plan is put into real use.
I run this web page and YouTube Channel simply for the sake of motivating others or spreading some encouragement and inspiration. Its proved very effective in this manner and I have seen the tide change in terms of how ppl see things unfolding for themselves.. I get constant posts and emails to that effect. Plus it gives me shit to do with my down time in the house. I'm not running this page to teach or instruct anyone but I welcome mature questions and discussion, or the opportunity to help someone where I can here and there. This page is 100% free from profit or gains with its existence. I do what I do. and I do what I want. I'm beholden to no advertisers or sponsors to push bullshit on to you. Please understand I do NOT "argue" or "debate" topics I put out. Malcontents or folks with questionable attitudes or motivations will simply be removed & banned for life. So if you've come here to play internet game, you'll waste your time. I have a 0 tolerance policy.
This is a plan for a civilian- by a civilian- to survive the initial crushing
slaughter of the collapse and to live and plan for another day. I'm one
man and I'm not suffering from any Dunning-Kruger
complex. I'm just a man that realized long ago that the math is against
me in every way possible. It's against me in terms of OPFOR, distance,
time, supplies, temperature, calories vs energy, and so on. However by
preparing shelters, scouting endless routes and planting realistic
supply pods I now have put myself ahead of this game and reduced the
deficits that will work against me. This E&E plan works best for me
in my current situation. That's not open to debate or discussion. Do as you wish for you, I will do the same for myself.
This
E&E plan will not be accomplished with some demented fantasy of
living like a feral wild-man running through the forest living like a caveman. Early man died at a very early age because they existed like that. Surviving till their mid 20s was considered elderly.. Equally It will not be
accomplished by gearing up like I raided REI and looking like you're heading out for a hiking camping trip neither. E&E is NOT CAMPING, nor is it BUSH-CRAFT. Whats more is that I'm not a Gun Fighter neither, so loads of burdensome ammo
and ridiculous amounts of body-armor will not be found on me just because some fantasy novel or instructor says Ill need it. I do what I do here because I know how it is here and when hammer drops you'll know what I'm talking about because no matter where you are you'll be living in the wilds just like me. My Alaska wilds will probably be relatively safer then most places, I suspect.
I'm an Evader, or Escape &
Evasion Survivalist living in Alaska.. This is a creature of my own design, born out of
the necessity of the situation and how I see a collapse unfolding for me. Its taken nearly 20 years to get where I am. i think Ive learned a thing or two along the way. I
don't "bug out". That's the most idiotic term ever invented and it
screams trendy conformity thinking from inside the boxed inter-web echo chamber. Sadly bugs have a very finite life span and are easily
killed-That wont work for me. I don't do other trendy alphabet talk or post on my page using military acronyms to sound high-speed-low-drag..That's not for me or what I'm about. I roam and plan
outside the box of the social con-struct and the woefully unproven social trends the internet community perpetuates as truth...
PLEASE remember this page is not about
Bushcraft, camping, backpacking, hiking or packing the pantry/ home
preparation type survival before you communicate anything on this page. This is not a hobby or weekend activity. It's a way of
life. S.A.S Survivalist and Picture Posing Kitchen Commandos, please dwell elsewhere, you're just going to piss us both off..(SAS: Saturday and Sunday Survivalist) This
is definitely not about idiot Zombie Survival either. Also if you're a
FILTHY Intellectual Poacher of Ideas to take back to your own site or
Youtube, please seek life elsewhere. There is nothing more despicable
and loathsome then a poacher .
"The Wild is no place for gentle folk who can neither fight nor fend for themselves.”
The objective of staying alive and not ending up as a grease
stain on the forest floor will be accomplished by serious forethought,
thorough planning, continuous training, continuous evaluations, 4 season scouts, being
truthful with myself, who I am, about how I deal with this situation
(truthful about my abilities and inabilities) and ABOVE ALL constant
physical conditioning that will all together offer me deliverance to
success and ultimate victory over defeat and not becoming dead
in the forest.
Whats more is that I'm not pretending to be a
teacher, instructor
or an expert that has never seen a real survival situation. That's not
what my page is about. I'm not here to sell you bravado or false claims to feed my ego. I don't need anyone.
This is a simple no bull-shit page, PERIOD. Alaska is a dangerous
place. People disappear here all the time. Something like 20 people
disappeared in and around my area in the last few years. 2 or 3 of them simply
parked their car to go for a short walk and were never seen again, and bear attacks and fatalities are on the rise.
I have
seen quite a few
real survival situations in my life, most here in Alaska in the
wilderness over the past 10 years. I'm always faced with something at
some level regardless whether its mortal danger with beasts or just a
hairy situation on a narrow mountain goat trail that i'd rather not be on. Ive
seen much here. Ive been attacked by a full bore 600lbs Grizzly that I
killed with my Ak74, and recently Ive had endless encounters with asshole bear, Ive
had an epic fail at -30F in a snow cave I made, I been charged by countless
moose, fell through ice, chased by a Lynx, Ive had a chopper rescue out there in Talkeetna
and Ive had dangerous hypothermia quite a few times. Ive visited the ER
for so many things-so many times that I simply cannot remember them
all. Most of my suffering came to me early on when I arrived in Alaska when i thought I knew it all..
It was years of learning through sobering failure and it still continues to various degrees to this day. Most was simply from
my inexperience, a general overall lack of real knowledge and me missing details that led to larger issues. These
day my biggest issues are bear who are growing in population do the
warming climate in my area of Alaska. Adversity and experience are THE BEST TEACHERS.
Ive
looked into the abyss and payed my dues by putting in the time ALONE to
learn/earn the lessons and respect that's required. Believe me when I
tell you that once you've seen REAL- FOR YOUR LIFE- SURVIVAL
you'll never want to see it again and you will see through the
illusions projected by social media, charlatan teacher/instructors, YouTube E-begging Gangsters, Tv shows and internet
forums with all their brilliantly epic amounts of bulls-shit. Most of the
bull-shit put out in those places simply doesn't exist in real survival-Nor in Alaska.
I will never put out anything I have not done or tried myself for real
and at very great length. Once you look into the face of the cold
indifference of a real life and death situation you'll do what
ever it takes to never get into that situation again, I can promise you
that. Now experiences like that are looked back on as a gift, I
draw from them. For all the good and bad taken from them I consider
every situation a gift of earned clarity and understanding that the
ignorant, mislead, misguided and protected will never understand.
However
regardless
of my vast experiences I know I'm not a teacher nor am I an expert. I'm
simply experienced. Few people have
any business, or RIGHT, teaching or boasting a rank such as being an
"expert" or
"instructor/teacher " but somehow vast legions of "experts" and
"instructors" can be found by the unsuspecting and naive with as little
effort as a simple internet search and happening upon the swarm of
charismatic charlatans out there. Its become a filthy sickness of
entitlement for so many to assign themselves such proud ranks they have
not
earned. Its irresponsible and its dangerous to those who know no
better.
I'm of the opinion "experts" simply do not exist. I am a
survivalist of my own accord. Ive earned that title, and its not a rank. Whats
more is that I'm not here to amaze or entertain you. If you want to be
entertained please go elsewhere for your daily drama fix. Real wilderness preparation and training is hard work and
pretty boring. Its not about the latest and greatest shit being pushed
by people simply to make money off other people fears. People need to
get use to that idea. Its not a Tv show, a celebrity "expert" talking
head or fancy YT channels with mesmerizing graphics and fast talkers telling you what you need to buy. Real
survival will definitely never be found in emotional politics, fantasy Post Apocalyptic books, dramatic movies or
religious posturing, its simply not withstanding when reality walks onto the scene.
This page and my activities have NOTHING
to do with MILITIA, III%'ers, FREEFOR, Oath Keepers, Max Velocity
Tactical, AC (Armed Citizenry), NORSSK, Alaska "Bear-men", ALASKA WATCHMEN, FRONTIERSMAN, Alaska
Militia/Alaska Watchman, Anchorage, Wasilla. or Palmer Militia or any other person or organization on EARTH.
Whats more is I cannot be held responsible for links to this page in
regards to where they are placed around the net. I also
harbor no
religious, racial or political aspirations or agendas with my
activities. I'm
100% pro-me surviving and nothing more. I have never offered and never
will offer fidelity to any group or individual in regards to this page
and what I'm doing-or in any capacity.. I also deal in dis-information
in varying degrees and at the appropriate
times for the inevitable prying personalities that are often attracted
to my pages and who think they have a right to my personal business or
my
survival preparations.

Common misconceptions about Alaska.
It occurs to me that most people are suffering from some seriously misguided perspectives about the real Alaska. I didn't even understand the real Alaska when I set out to come here so many years ago. Some for the good and some for the bad. I had no idea about freedom of carrying a firearm, nor did I know about the lack of sales tax in most places or the lack of a state income tax. I was also pleasantly surprised about the state PFD check that is issued each year.
Most of the questions I get are based on what people see on reality Tv. Back when I arrived here there were not many shows about Alaska-Oh, and yes BIGFOOT. I just didn't know so I formed my own perspectives, like most folks, and they were mostly wrong. Yes Alaska is vast and seemingly endless in its wilderness but regardless of this vastness there are loads of rules and regulations that vary from area to area and from season to season. One cannot simply come up here to hunt and fish as they wish, when they wish and where they wish. There are specific areas set aside and that's where you hunt or fish and you have to pay a lot to do it. They are ALWAYS loads of ppl at these places and its seemingly very chaotic to me and I want no part of it. This is so the law can keep an eye on people by congressing them all into one area during the hunting and fishing seasons. And this is not a bad thing because from what Ive seen people up here really take nature for granted and abuse it endlessly. Id hate to see what would happen w/o these rules and regulations. I observe and respect these policies and work around them as best I can without breaking any laws. Trapping too is also mostly out of the question for the regular guy. Most areas you can do this are very far away from me and the areas you can do it change season to season. It just outruns me.
,
In about 99% of the wilderness in my area you cannot even have a camp fire or cut living trees/vegetation. I must drive over 50-80 miles north to get to an area where I can have a fire, hunt, build shelters, or use private land. 6-8 month out of the year the weather and timing of other life obligations prohibit this. I do what I can, as I can, and where I can within the bounds of the law. It seems most laws are designed to discourage training activities with confusing language and it works in this way in regards to what one can and cannot do in survival training.

Never Quit Fighting....
My Politics..Because some will inevitably pry...
Its pretty simple- Live and let live. Don't fuk with me and I wont fuk with you. I'm on no ones side. I roll pretty much solo. Other then my woman, I'm a dedicated loner by human experience teaching me its
best to be, and by my nature. However humans are social creatures and
interaction is unavoidable but I go out of my way to limit contact because I rally dislike humans and their vile behavior in our current times. I suffer no emotional delusions of implied
favor or disdain towards anyone or any particular group i meet when it comes to measuring their
humanity. All things regarding race, color or creed are to me as human
as having skin, thus are never an accurate measure of a mans spirit and
true nature.. I have truly learned media programs us to think these
things are the measure of a person. For I do not measure but rather
assume from a base level that someone is of good will and nature when I
meet them, then I go from there to observe their nature as they display
it, and usually they just show me they're simply another useless deceptive bag of meet. . Im usually always proved correct. Ill natured ppl will easily tell on themselves if you know what to
look for. I can read a person like a book. However regardless of my misgivings everyone gets respect and
good nature from me in life, no matter who you are, until its time to
not have good will towards them. Life has taught me that humans of our society are
deceptive and infectious creatures I just assume limit my exposure to.
I follow the Old Norse ways, and I do it in my own way. I don't care what kinda shit i catch for it or from who. Its part of who I am. I'm from NORSE–GAELIC (Scandinavian/Pict) decent. Just because you are of European decent DOES NOT MAKE ME YOUR FRIEND, COMRADE AT ARMS, OR BROTHER-PISS OFF WITH THAT SHIT. However, I see nothing wrong with being proud of ones heritage and ancestral tribes as long as one isn't putting themselves above anyone else with delusions of grandeur. I do not see a point in hating others-Ive better things to do.. People are people and do people things. Suffice to say I detest hate and those who bring it handed out like the alibi of "Social Justice and equality" or the preservation of "Patriotism,". I do not go around claiming to be "VIKING" like all these ridiculous Facebook and forum fan-boys who have never been one foot in a boat, let alone raided much more then their refrigerator. At best I'm a simple wandering Tribesman. I'm imperfect and very broken from life but I try with all my will to live by the 9 Nobles. Some of you so called "Heathens" out there would do well to simply read the 9 Nobles more often to really understand it. Alas the TV show like Viking and other demented contemporary perversion have polluted the old ways. Most "Heathens" I have met are a disgrace to the 9.
I do not post current political drama on my page. Its all lies meant to infect and change a persons behavior through a campaign of deception and fear mongering. I am not right, and I'm definitely not left. Nor am I in between parties. I prefer the laws of nature and the wilderness over man.
This is my woman, my Wife. She is of the Native Yupik here in Alaska. She's a true
woman of the north. This woman and Mother Nature are where the politics
in my life starts and stops. She is my tribe and "The Tribe Must
Survive"...
