Location 3: Will I be safe here.






Yes, I believe this is where I am supposed to be and that inner push to get here was correct. We had a little incident here, of which I won't give exact details, that told me if you come to our campground in the mountains with the idea of stealing, hustling or drugging, we will not tolerate that kind of behavior. Hit the road Jack. Just because we are RV'ers and our homes are on wheels, or we don't own property, doesn't mean we are Trailer Trash.

Residents in this park don't sit back and let the owners handle everything, then armchair quarterback later. We help our park owners, from young to old. One of my neighbors is an old man walking with a cane, he located the rascal trying to hide while another served the legal papers. I was out there as well to let this rascal know, there will be no hiding on my site. All that remains is for our park owners to handle the legal ends.

So now we have peace in our little mountain valley where the clouds will entertain you swirling above before they decide what to do. Come Spring, I'll help mow sites, neighbor helping neighbor, for if you really think about it, this is a community.

Location 2: The Place To Make Your Stand





Denial can be a powerful beast, for they know not what cometh their way.

House sold, I had this great weight lifted from my shoulders with a sense of urgency that if I had to make my stand it would be at a park where you didn't have to switch pad sites. After hearing campers tales over coffee, I picked a campground up in the mountains of S.E. New Mexico, west of Capitan. After a few years of watching campers come and go, I packed for a 600 mile road trip, different from packing up for a camp site switch. Hardest part was leaving friends that were like family behind. But they know where I'm at and some came to visit.

The truck towed iRV up long inclines I didn't think possible without shifting into low gear. That power chip was great, a real fuel saver crossing the hot flat lands of West Texas and taking those mountains into NM with a 30 mph cross wind. Carlsbad was forecast at 114 that day, and that urgency to get here pushed me on. That experience was totally worth it to find Pinion Hills Park.

Now I'm giving you the name and location of this park for a darned good reason. We are being dragged into a depression by politico's that don't like our lifestyle. Some RV'ers are getting off the road and some are stubbornly defiant. Park owners are in the same situation. My camping dollar will not go parks that don't jack up their rates, and to help RV'ers looking for a place to camp I will list on this blog campgrounds that are a good deal. This is no frills basic camping so if you're looking for a shopping mall, swimming pool or laundry we don't have it. When the weather is nice we, of all things, we hang our laundry out to dry. Carolyn the owner says sorry no kids please. Our yard work is done by us, or neighbor helping neighbor. No whiners tolerated, this is earn your spurs camping.

Pinion Hills will be on my list in name only for now, they don't have a website that I know of so do a web search. At $200.00 monthly + electric, using my A/C a few times since June of 2008 this is where I call base camp.

News Flash: America Awakens






SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM FOR AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM AMERICANS THAT HAVE GROWN A SPINE ON THE AMERICAN PEPPER NETWORK.

WARNING: DO YOU HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT JUST LOVE TO SEND OUT FWD-FWD-FWD EMAILS? WELL NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO GIVE THESE FOLKS SOMETHING TO DO FOR A WORTH WHILE CAUSE, EVEN JOIN IN THE FUN. GIVE THEM THE TASK OF SENDING OUT EMAILS TO AS MANY AS THEY CAN TO ACCOMPLISH THE TASK BELOW. USE YOUR IMAGINATION. DRESS IT UP WITH PHOTOS, ART, THE WAY YOU DO WITH THOSE MSG'S YOU SEND OUT, AND SOME ARE PRETTY GOOD. SHOP AT YOUR LOCAL MARKET FOR SUPPLIES AND GET DOWN TO IT AMERICA. IF YOU'RE AN OSTRICH WITH YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND, EYES GLUED TO THE TUBE, DON'T COMPLAIN LATER WHEN THEY DECIDE TO START TAXING YOU MORE, EVEN IF YOUR RETIRED. GET WITH IT AND MAKE UP THE FIRST WAVE.
BELOW IS THE MSG AS FOLLOWS TO COPY-->PASTE INTO YOUR EMAILS AND LETTERS. REMEMBER TO BE NICE,
BUT EXPRESS YOUR APPRECIATION. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO BECOME A MODERN DAY BOSTON TEA PARTY.

MSG IS AS FOLLOWS. SHOW THEM WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF AMERICA.

So long as we have an inauguration drawing this sort of crowd and not a protest about our government blowing $700 billion of our dollars so that The Pigmen of Wall Street can continue to rob our nation blind, then saddle us with the bill when their bets go bad, we will see no solution.
I cannot take credit for the idea floated on some forums, but I do like it.
It is time for We The People to send a strong message to Washington DC - no more. No more loading our children and grandchildren with debt. No more bailing out speculators and bankers who made bets they knew were unsafe at the time. No more bailing out people who came to Congress to demand the removal of leverage limits, got what they asked for, then blew themselves up with the very leverage they demanded to be able to use.
No more.
Therefore, on February 1st, which is more than enough time for Barack Obama to be seated in his chair in the West Wing, I am recommending an act of peaceful, lawful and yet unmistakable protest. That is, to mail President Obama one teabag. Nothing dangerous, nothing illegal - just one teabag. Send one to your Congressman and one to each Senator.
Later, when the weather is a bit warmer and fountains are running water (rather than frozen!) this sort of protest can be repeated with LOOSE tea in select cities.
But for now, let's start with the symbolism, to be repeated each and every time our government votes or intends to do something similarly stupid - which I presume will include Obama's "stimulus" package.
If we all mail our teabags on February 1st, it will send a strong message to Washington. Include a copy of Ticker’s related to the many bailouts (pick one!) or write your own letter condemning the fraud and abuse in our banking and financial system - with the teabag being your symbolic refusal to quietly pay for it.
Pass it around the blogs and email lists - its a bag of tea folks, and the obvious parallel to the Boston Tea Party of old should be instantly obvious to everyone who receives it.
The government is merely a servant -- merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.
Mark Twain

Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20500

END OF MSG. NOW DIDN'T THAT FEEL GOOD?

New Mexio Prepper Gather Round




You are learning how a single lady camper found her place to make a stand and there are others out here in New Mexico that also believe in preparing instead of becoming a victim. This is a call for guest submissions to contribute your experience of digging in, stocking up and riding out the storm. Like that of the impressive Utah Preppers, we can share our experiences here on this blog site and in meetings if we can get enough determined members with the heart of a teacher.

What say you New Mexico, will you be a Prepper or a refugee?
What have you done today to survive the perfect financial storm?

Location 1: Now what do I do with it?




ROADSCRIBE’S iRV
SURVIVAL ON WHEELS

NM mountain weather on a dime. Snow is in the forecast.
In my RV kitchen: Cinnamon roles rising in the oven.
My camp coffee pot has perked, so let’s get down to it.

Political Side: More on the Cult of the Messiah’s connection with rights for terrorists.
http://www.marklevinshow.com. This is also a free download in the evening.

iRV LOCATION 1: WHERE DO I PARK IT?

Depending on your situation, your RV is a bug out solution, a second home parked in an out of the way place (as some do here in this mountain park) or you’re going full time. When I was a working camper connected to the Workamper Network, I met a lot of people that had gone full time as an RV’er due to job layoff’s and suddenly discovering that home with the big payment was no longer a good idea, be they families or singles, we all shared the same idea. We are in charge of our our own lives, the government screws up everything it touches, and no we don’t want to rent. After what I went through to sell my over mortgaged home at start of the housing crisis fueled by the media, and the quiet downfall of CITI (bought by Arab Emirates,) to this day I still don’t know if want to be a property owner, and a future source of over taxation. For now I’d rather turn my rig into the ultimate boondocker and get ready for power outages to come, created by the Cult of the Messiah, Green Shirts.

Living in the house at the time, depressed over hubby, scared of what my foreclosure pock marked subdivision had become, after towing the RV home, parking it in my driveway, I discovered the home owners association from hell. Weird thinking on their part: let the abandoned home next door sit empty for months before the bank took repossession, kids vandalized the home in midst of me chasing them off, but park a nice pretty RV on your property and look out. I reached my limit when the only place I felt safe was in the 5’er I named iRV. From a home health patient I found a membership resort, stowed what I couldn’t do without (this is the hardest part) and had an all weekend estate sale. Paid down the principle with that, worked as a home health nurse based out of the resort while renting the house out, and sold that home after burying a St. Joseph’s statue under the front steps, saying my prayer every day, armed with a gutsy realtor after five prospective buyers and finally sold to that fifth buyer that was on her second lender. All I have to say is, thank you Cynthia Farmer of the Realty Place in Adkins, Texas. I couldn’t have done it without you. That St. Joseph resides in an honored place in my RV home-office on a path to financial independence.

In the three years I was working towards full time RV’er status, my rig was parked at Lake Point RV Resort at Canyon Lake, Texas. This is a nice place for full timer RV’ers, tourists or a stop over. What you will find there is most important, Full Timer’s that have long ago shucked homes and squabbling neighbors for a life on the road. If you listen to these guys, you learn A to Z about your rig. Probably the best memory I have of Lake Point is learning to park. Every site in that resort has a different approach and there were a few times when it was taking me an hour to get backed in and find out I had an audience of campers just letting me do my thing. Help was there if I asked. Thanks guys.

Your RV Shelter


Kitchen: whole wheat bread rising in a warm cozy oven.

Weather: Snow still in the forecast.

My camp coffee pot has perked so let’s get down to it.



On the political scene:


For those of you that wonder what there is to entertain your brain in addition to reading, how about enriching your brain. The Michael Savage show this evening (1/22) was based on President Obama’s use of the executive order to give terrorists more rights than Americans and meaning of the statement, and I quote him: “White men need not apply.” The Savage Nation is a free download that I bet you will not hear on the TV media. His website: http://michaelsavage.wnd.com/

RoadScribe’s iRV: Survival on wheels

January 20th of 2009: The perfect ten year financial storm is here. Are you ready?


You either need an RV or you already have one. The secret here is pick one you can handle physically and financially, ideally that is paid for, and after the credit crunch, financing will be harder for some of us to get. Everyone has their needs. In my situation, I bought this fifth wheel RV knowing little about the subject. Matching the tow vehicle to what had to be pulled was a decision made with my mechanic that specialized in helping people keep their vehicles. Buying a 3500/350 four door dually would have been ideal and still a dream upgrade. But if you stop and ask yourself how can you spend less money the plan for a ‘96 GMC Sierra 1500 was: tow package, super springs, synthetic fluids all around, 10 ply tires, and a power chip. Less than $3,000.00. We could have replaced the transmission to a heavy duty, but the original worked just fine pulling the rig up those mountain inclines. Not far from my new base camp, I have another mechanic that thinks the same way. Thank you Steve Gherline and those working with you at CambridgeAuto.com in San Antonio, Texas. You have the heart of a teacher.

Shopping for the RV was best done taking my time, until coming upon a dealer with bankruptcy consignment. Now if I had waited and lived in my house while I was trying to sell it, and then shopped around in today’s economy I would have done better and not ended up with a bank note to pay off. There are a lot of dealers out there with inventory from manufacturers that have sadly closed down due to the economy. RV’s today, if you know what you want, are going at slashed rates. Or if you know what features to look for, say in my future upgrade, and are good at repairs, you could check out the auctions, CrankyApe.com or slightly used from private sellers. But what I am saving for is my next upgrade, the truck I have described and those prices are coming down. AutoTrader.com is a good place to watch, if they will let my mechanic look at the truck first.

Now if I were Dorothy in Kansas with red ruby slippers, I’d click my heels and get an Americana. Russ Anderson makes a quality fifth wheel RV that many full time RV’ers speak well of, a true four season 5'er that you order from AmericanaRV.com. His product doesn't really on dealers and is only sold through the web site. I mentioned custom made for a reason, some minor repairs I can do or learned to do with advise from fellow RV’ers and RVNet forums. After I got up here in the NM mountains we had hurricane remnants through with hail and those flimsy original vent caps were soon swiss cheese. By careful planning, a helpful lady RV neighbor experienced in roof work on their motor coach, and parts that arrived from PPL in Houston, I was able to replace those caps with non-breakable caps. In warmer weather I have renovation and repair projects planned and those will be in future entries.

Back to AmericanaRV. What I like about this idea for an upgrade is having a say, for instance, where the water pump is located. In this rig it is under my kitchen cabinet, and for me, hard to get to. If that fails, I have a $200.00 service call to get that replaced, or break camp to take it in for repairs. In my biz that is time and money lost. But that is in my dream world, now back to real time.

Deal with what you have. That is what this project is all about. Perseverance, determination and the ability to take a 'What if' and make it work.

Greetings from the mountains of New Mexico



Thank you American Pepper Network for giving me this opportunity.

Weather: Snow storm brewing in the mountains.
Kitchen: Potatoes and carrots blanched and in the dehydrator.
My camp coffee pot is perked so let's get to it.

WARNING: This blog can become political. So if you can't stomach that subject, then by all means you still have that freedom, for now, to move on. But if you're tired of the one party system our political machine has become, hell bent on dragging us into communism, then I dare you to read on.

This is a reader active blog.
First of all.

TURN OFF THE TV. TUNE IN YOUR MIND.
Ah, there you go. Disconnecting your mind from the Messiah’s socialist matrix of empty promises to do nothing more than make you dependent on government. Congratulations, you have taken the most important step of your life just by turning off their indoctrination tool. Many of us have figured this out long before you and even sold our Boob Tubes, and learned to think for ourselves.

Now why am I doing this to you, and not following along with the sheeple mentality of our new president’s campaign promises of hope and change?

Because long before his campaign as a writer I had interviewed key people that worked in D.C., also disgusted at what was being done to their country. I was already seeing this in my career as a registered nurse, and that led to my new profession as a writer and novelist. My investigation into why the tone of television irritated me so much first came with my husband, slowly dieing of cancer at the time, blindly staring at the TV. What a way to spend the last few days of your life. Then, remembering an interview done with a person working in the surgeon general’s office, I was told to follow the money. And so I ask, do any of you know the owners and financial backers of your satellite, cable TV, or even of the big networks? What if I told you: Ted Turner, George Soros for starters, there are many more that believe America should be a socialist country, and you can't do a damn thing about it. Well I say: wrong!

What is more important to you: socialism or freedom?

Oh, now she’s getting political. That’s right I am, because unless you have chosen freedom, you and your family are doomed to the only other alternative. Like you, I have been shocked at what the Republican’s have become, nothing but sell outs to a one party system. I decided to start this way to say: I am a Conservative, not like these sell out Republics reaching out to the other side of the isle, scared of their shadow, selling their souls and country out for the gold their pockets. What you’re going to get here is not what the government can do for you, but what you can do in spite of them, take what you have left, dig in, stock up, and ride out the coming storm created by the corrupt politicians, hell bent on making you a victim.

If you want to learn more about our Marxist puppet president, his agenda is described in Saul Alinsky's: Rules for Radicals. Fairly cheap, available on Amazon. Learn what you’re up against. President Obama believes in this book, much of his campaign was based on it.

Once more--his indoctrination tool is your TV.
So cut off your cable and satellite bill, mine used to be $100.00 a month. While your at it, sell your TV and put some money in your pocket to stock up on food or pay some bills off. Debt is another weapon our political machine will use to destroy the middle class. And as of today with with our banks going down for the count, a new bank is being discussed to emerge, and of course it's a government bank. I wonder if that is what is in store for Bank of America?

News Flash: I didn't hear this on the Dumb Box. I heard this on AM radio.
Could that be why the Fairness Doctrine is being redesigned to shut them down?

Now, you've paid some little bills off. What do you have left?
In my case, after my husband died, I had an over mortgaged house to the point where in my future I could see that I was going to have a hard time, by myself, maintaining that house and payment. I didn’t expect the government to bail me out, and sold it, finally. If any of you are having trouble in this area, comment on this subject and I’ll explain more or do an entry, your pick.
At 52, I have only one bill left to pay off and that is the RV I live and work from. What I had managed to do, while working two jobs to pay off medical bills and credit cards, and get rid of time share, was fix up hubby’s old truck thanks to an honest mechanic and find an RV in a dealer bankrupsey sale.

That my friends is what I had left when the house was sold, and since there are more people like me now living full time in an RV. This is what my blog is about: Survival on Wheels. Stay tuned, and I will teach you what a lone lady camper has done to dig in, stock up, and get ready to ride out the perfect storm.

We want you...To Blog

This Blog is not for sale or trade... But it can be given to you if you're up to the task. I noticed recently something that's started to catch on as I've been following Texas Prepper's Network. Soon there was a Kentucky preppers network and Idaho, and Colorado, and Utah. The term " ( )Preppers Network" has now been branded. I realized that the blog sites for the remaining states needed to be protected before some Corporate goon or New World Order thug grabbed them up. Obviously there is no way I can personally blog from all these sites, and there's no way I can build this network on my own. That's where you come in. If you can blog, and commit yourself to building a close-knit patriot network in your state, then I want to discuss procedures for handing over this blog site to you.

Time is short and we are running out. We must all get, not only ourselves, but everyone we can find (who is willing) prepared. We are on the edge of a Great Collapse, far bigger than the Great Depression ever was, and that's why we need people that are motivated. It's my ambition and lifes purpose to prepare as many people as possible and be a thorn in the side of the NWO by helping to build the largest network of patriots the world has ever known.

What you will get from me:
1) The right to blog from this site (eventually it will be handed over to you for free once certain provisions have been met, understand that I want to ensure the integrity of the Survivalist/patriot movement)
2) Someone who is dedicated to building a strong close knit community of patriots
3) I will activily recruit patriots from my Homepage www.AmericanSurvivalStore.com and refer them to your state network. (This means traffic to your blog)
4) A listing in my blog directory by state. Browsers looking for their official state preppers network blog will find you. (more traffic to your blog)
5) A guarantee that other state prepper network blogs exchange links with you (more traffic to your blog)

What I will expect from you:
1) That you actively build your network
2) You blog regularly on issues of your choice, But also survival issues that concern all of us
3) That you not do anything that could jeapordize the credibility, reputation and integrity of fellow prepper networks (this is very important, and another reason why I aquired this blogsite, one bad apple can spoil it for everyone and I don't want to see that happen)
4) That you display the 3 sponsor ads that I've originally placed on this blog; Big Johns Survival Seeds, Joel Harfords Doomsday Pak, and The Hews Emergency Water System. Why? Because revenue from these sponsors is fuel for the fire. I use the revenue to drive this freight train forward. I want to stoke the fire enough so that we will be unstoppable. You, of course, will be allowed to place other sponsor ads should you decided to or even Google adsense if you want.

If you are up to the task, Please join us by e-mailing me at Survivalist@AmericanSurvivalStore.com
