Hi all. I'm Joe and I've been an occasional lurker and decided to register today. I'm in Randburg, South Africa and also in Centurion. I don't have a firearm licence but I'm keen on prepping as best I can. Things are looking very bleak here lately in SA.
 
You got that right. SA is a mess. Glad i am in Namibia. Will have a few days to get out of major towns/cities before the SHTF.
 
howdy from a texan .... and welcome to the forum and family...there's quiet a few knowledgeable folks here that'll gladly tell ya what you need to know,or at least point ya in the right direction and/or give ya a good idea or 2..and by all means jump right on in with any replies you have on a topic.and start new topics if/when needed....
 
Welcome Shadow Joe, glad to have you here
 
Welcome . One thing that makes this a great site is we have people from all over the World presenting prepping ideas .
I know South Africa and its neighbors have trouble with communist militias but is there any problem with islamist groups like in North and West Africa ?

Luckily not! However I think that there could be. Recently there has been alot of anti-Israeli protests against one of the retailers here and we understand that they may feel that they are being sidelined by this. Also we are having issues where there is alot of Xenophobia and many of the foreigners here that are being targeted are Islamist. There may be some kind of back-lash I guess.
 
welcome and hope you enjoy it here,seems like trouble is spreading its claws every where.

Hi there whats` up youre side yes things are bleak in sunny south africa at the moment strikes, loadshedding and what not how is the prepping going
 
Hi guys.
Well i am preped as much and best i can. I now own 5 guns. 7000 rounds. And food and water for 2 years. I am not planing to stay home once the SHTF. I have a nice bugout location with a bushcamp and solar power borehole. I now just patiently wait for the bullets to fly
 
Hi there suid wes the solar idea is a good one and bugging out is still better but i am a budget or broke prepper. i have some food,water,plenty of tin food so far. thinking of tinin my house window`s on both sides to make them shatter proof with a hard bord of some sort to resist the flying bullets what do u think !?
 
My suggestion is find somone that ownes a farm. I know people that can help you. I am also a poor guy but have been prepping for 6 years now. I can give you advise if you like. There is a group in SA that will be ABSULUTELY to your advantage. In SA i think its the worst idea ever to bug in. I can show you countless reasons why. If you want to know.

As jy wil kan jy my mail. [email protected] ek kan vir jou n hele nuwe pad wys vir jou en jou familie
 
I think to bug in is the worts idea ever. Here is why
-The water will be off.
-The electricity will be off.
-The police will not help.
-They are not your local gang war boys coming to your house.
-No they will be hundreds of thousands of black men coming to white nabourhoods with pangas and guns.
-If they cant get in they will simply set your house on fire.
-I guarentee you will not survive 3 days.
-Please man reconsider your bugging in plan.
 
Odd innit that in the UK because of population density and lack of space, bugging IN has become the norm for many families, whilst in SA bugging OUT is the default setting and in the US its a mix of both !!!!

( The aussies will just have a BBQ regardless)
 
Bugging in is a really bad idea. My group has four armoured cars and my own bulletproof, 4x4 modified mini cooper coupe.

Can you live for very long extended periods WITH your family in 4 armoured cars and a Mini Cooper?, you have to have one or more secure destinations to have a good chance of long term survive and thrive.

Survivalist rule number 1 NEVER BECOME A HOMELESS REFUGEE
 
Here in south africa accoring to all studies and indications we are expecting a full attack in one night.Hundreds of thousands of black people will storm as at night.
So if you bug in you will be traped in your own self build cage(house).

Luckily for us everybody know someone with a farm or knows someone who knows someone with a farm. And these farms is big(6-8000acres)and heavily bushed. Like you can hide and you will walk pass me within 3m and not see me.
Game is plentifull and water is always not more then a day away.
So if you know what you are doing and use your resources you cant not make it.
Most important is monitor the news(reliable sources though) and
you will have ample time to escape
the heat.
Secondly,strat now to get your provisions on such a farm and only keep what you need to get there.

For the South Africans who dont know.
We have the single biggest prep group in the world all of them planning for this day. We are over 800,000 members strong. So you will get some help and advise. We also even prep for those people who cant affort to prep for themself.
If you would like to check it out please feel free to find us on "www.suidlanders.com"
You will find a leader in your area where you stay and he will guide you through everything.
Best of all they are like family and its free to join.
They even update you everh hour with sms as to where the heat is and which roads to not take due to stikes and highway blockings and tyre burnings
 
Excellent appraisal and very informative as well, watching the geopolitics at play in SA, Zimbabwe , Namibia and Mozambique, I agree with your viewpoint but I still believe you need a secure homestead but an assortment of viable escape routes. I still think the European heritage group down there is very much an endangered species and the ONLY thing I am certain of is our governments up here in Europe will NOT life a finger to help you guys in exactly the same way and for the same wrong reasons they betrayed Ian Smiths Rhodesia.

We have seen bared faced anti white racism from our own government, we hear of loads of black opponents of Robert Mugabe being given asylum in the UK but most white Rhodies being turned down so I am told, I have been trying to help a few displaced Rhodie families who do get to the UK, wish I could do more.
 
Erm just clicked on the link to suidlanders and its dead the site owne has not renewed the title so it does not work
 
The star fort is unreachable. The amount of time it would take someone to find it is long enough for us to cut down enough trees for a clear aim. The ferret only holds two people and we only have eight missiles for the mark five and thirty rounds for the mark 2/1's. And please don't Diss my mini it took us two years to turn that thing into the world's fastest tank.
 
Hey you Afrikaans on here, I just watched 5 different videos from sources like Al Jazeera and eNCA and I got to say this old school British survivalist is seriously impressed with the professionalism and dedication you folks are putting into your preps.
