How many of you have a passport?

[White Israelite]

Just curious how many of you guys have a passport? If you needed to leave America due to anti semitism or a complete economic breakdown you would need one to leave the country. Many countries require you to have one as identification but yet in America only 2 percent of the country have a passport.

Im pretty much a home-boy... I have never travelled outside of America. Though I really should get one...

I am getting one next week, but I am Dutch. I had fingerprints taken of both thumbs and indexfingers.

[Rubystars]

I don't have one because I've never gone anywhere outside the USA.

Just got my passport this Feb

[maelgwyn]

I let mine run out years ago [UK]  Wales has less anti-semitism than any country in the world ! Iam too old & knackered to go anywhere !   

[maelgwyn]

If anti-semitism & law & order broke down in the U.S.  Id stay and fight to the death !  Your lucky you can get guns !

I got mine back in 2007. I've seen the writing on the wall for a few years now.

Most Jews refuse to arm themselves in America. It also doesn't help that most live in big cities and don't have experience living out in the rural areas around here. That means those who can't protect themselves are going to need others to help them or need ways to get to Israel eventually and you can't do that without a passport.

Anyways you pretty much need a passport to go anywhere now, years ago you didn't need a passport to go to Canada or Mexico. You can still go to Mexico without a passport up until the 20 mile inland marker but if you try to come back in the US, they won't let you in without a passport. Canada is also a recent addition, you now need a passport to go there, in the past you did not until recently. You can still go on cruises to the Carribbean or Mexico as long as it's closed loop without a passport but soon you will need a passport.

In the outback in the various States with survival equipment one cauld hide for years !

For those of you wanting a passport, you may want to do it yesterday. The new applications being proposed are absolutely rediculous and require information that is equivalent to getting a top security clearance.

So Maelgwyn when do we get our survival training? All I know is don't drink the water from streams without boiling it or you will get Giardia

I have a passport. Have you comited a crime?

[maelgwyn]

RUBYSTARS,  Iodine tabs will suffice, dehydrated rations, rabbit snares, sling shot, fire lighting kit-etc !

Well I don't know what to do with a rabbit. I know you have to skin it and take the bowels out but what about the rest? Plus I thought they didn't have enough fat on them for survival can't you die if that's the only meat you eat?

Also wouldn't you need a radio to know when or if to take the iodine tabs? So it seems like you would need a radio plus batteries for it. I thought that was only in the event of nuclear fallout or something like that anyway that you would need iodine tablets.

The dehydrated rations sound a lot more appetizing than trying to figure out what to do with a dead rabbit.

Also there is the issue of dangerous animals. Depending on where you are in North America you could be dealing with cougar, feral dogs, coyotes, wolves, wolverines, or even bears.

Raccoons and other animals can get into sealed coolers and steal your food too.
