We need another camp like this. I have many ideas myself on training. Alright so it shouldn't be like the Islamic camps where the guys swing on monkey bars and what not but a serious camp for teaching Jews self defense. I think it would prove appropriate if there were classes to learn how to shoot different types of guns, be it AK47's, M16's, SKS, Galils, different handguns that are commonly used like the Beretta M9, Glock series, SIG series, etc. Shooting them would help users become familiar how to use each gun and zeroing in the sights and what not. Also learning the different setups of each gun as AK47's have different safety and mag release than say a M16.
Field stripping these guns would prove useful if one were to ever encounter a enemies gun and had to use it and shoot it or learn to field strip it. Also to shoot different calibers to be proficient and used to the recoil of different types of guns. Identifying ammunition and magazines to know which gun they belong to.
Training could involve identification of different camouflage patterns to know who the enemy is or what not. Perhaps learning to sew and making your own Load Bearing Vests or sewing on new patches to an existing LBV if it isn't a MOLLE setup. There are many different configurations available on
http://www.zahal.org if anyone wants these vests, I have one myself.
Boots are necessary, get used to walking in boots because they will be good for walking long distances and climbing up uneven surfaces like rocks and mountains or what not.
Camping, I think camping will be important and surviving on limited food rations as well as areas where Jews may need to hide out in the event SHTF. Food rationing will be important, when we had the hurricane here in Florida, almost all the food stores were sold out and there was plenty of looting. From my understanding, Judaism prohibits hunting as it is considered cruel and unusual and also most of the food wouldn't be considered Kosher although there are a few animals that could be considered Kosher. By shooting it, wouldn't this be violated proper slaughter procedures? If not, hunting and fishing may be useful for collecting food when in need of emergency supplies or as backup.
Flashlights are important, check out surefire aluminum flashlights, durable as heck, lightweight, and very portable.
Training in a firefight, there are several ways to do this safely. There should be simulation of what would happen in a firefight, how one reacts under pressure and adrenaline rush and keeping cover. Paintball could be useful but they are not realistic in terms of reloading although they will leave a nice welt. I played paintball for a few years in the woods and it was good for learning how to keep cover from getting hit and teamwork as well as communication. Airsoft could prove very useful, Airsoft is similar to paintball in respects they are 1:1 replicas of the real deal and even accept magazines and field strip like a real gun. More information here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airsoft There are different areas that could prove useful for training, the woods and perhaps could build structures like buildings or what not. Communication is very important.
Hand to hand combat, like KAPAP, Krav Maga, Systema, etc. Military martial arts would prove useful if you are ever in a situation where you cannot get a clear shot on someone as they are too close by or you do not have access to a gun. Unfortunately the version of Krav Maga taught in the states is a watered down version mainly for civilian use. You can learn the real stuff in Israel though.
I think that preparing for the worse is important, it will happen sooner or later and we should not sit around talking because otherwise we are just floating ducks taking shots. How many Jewish community centers have been invaded by Neo Nazis or muslims and killed innocent people in the last few years? I can think of several.
Not only is this useful for self defense and to become dependent in different situations, but it could certainly help if the SHTF and we end up in a situation where there is an economic collapse in this country, pogroms against Jews, another hurricane Katrina, or some sort of overthrow of the government in which case we will need to know how to fight.
To get this rolling, we would need land, we would probably want it to be rural where there is not a lot of people around, we would need it in a area with very lax gun control laws (in the south), and permits for setting up buildings. We would also need funding for the weapons and to pay those who want to participate. Probably need insurance as well if the paintball thing was done. Also would need funds for weapons, we would need to keep legal and that would mean semi-auto firearms stored in a safe place with identification and inventory so we know who rented which gun. We need to make sure the people renting the guns for training are legal as well and not convicted felons or prohibited from firing a gun, as much as I disagree with current gun laws, we must remain legal. It could end up an expensive project but I would hope this could be doable with planning and funding.
Living quarters would be a good idea since the courses would probably be several weeks of training and would need to provide a place for people to sleep.
My idea of rural would be somewhere like West Virginia or Alabama in areas that are very open and lots of trees. Northern Wisconsin would be good too but the gun laws are too strict there.
There are hundreds of different Neo Nazi militant groups and Islamic groups in the United States. Why do we not have something to counter their attacks? These folks are serving in the military getting training while being paid and then going on to teach others once they get out of the service to fight. We cannot underestimate the enemy and must be prepared.
There are legal issues to consider. The government does have a habit of infiltrating groups like this generally to make sure nothing illegal is going on which is why I stress that everything needs to be double, even triple checked that there is nothing that breaks the law. Recently a militia in Alabama was busted on having explosives or what not, we don't need a situation like that. The JPFO also provides various videos of the ATF trying to claim an individuals semi automatic rifle is illegal and try to bust them for it. We don't need a waco happening at a camp like this and with the mainstream media being so hostile towards Zionism to begin with, it wouldn't make good news though a situation like that would probably be kept hush hush.
A camp like this should be open to all Jews, orthodox, conservative, secular as long as they are dedicated to Israel and the survival of the Jewish people. Hitler killed people with only a Jewish grandparent and it is necessary that it doesn't happen again in the future.
