LEVEL 1 - Private Take your average American, and thrust him into a position where he/she must defend his/her way of life against an ever encroaching globalist government, or any other threat or emergency. To what degree should he train? What kind of gear should he have? Add to these the facts that he is working a steady job, has a great deal of family commitments, and would still like to see a football game or a movie now and then. You will find that he has very little time to train, very little money to spend on gear, and very little energy left to pursue the causes of freedom. Thats a fairly decent picture of your average militia person today. Only the most determined dedication can overcome these obstacles. SKILL LEVEL ONE: Level One required equipment: 1) Rifle. 2) 100 rounds of ammunition for same rifle. 3) Water container, one quart minimum. 4) Cleaning kit for above rifle. 5) Suitable carrying gear to transport personal equipment. 6) Individual first-aid kit. 7) Combat or hiking boots. 8) Copy of the US Constitution (the document, not the boat) and Declaration of Independence. Level One required abilities: A) Complete a two-mile hike with all Level One equipment within 40 minutes. B) Field strip weapon for cleaning. C) Place 8 out of 10 shots into a 9 target at 100 yards. D) Tie Basic Knots: Square, Bowline, Double Bowline, Two Half Hitch, Timber Hitch, Taut Line Hitch, Fisherman’s Knot (folsoms.net/knots/ ) E) Start a fire (survival situation) (ssrsi.org/ods/fire.htm ) F) Build an emergency shelter (ehow/videos-on_8437_building-survival-lean_to-shelter.html ) G) Demonstrate Signals (survival situation) (artofmanliness/2011/05/23/wilderness-survival-know-your-distress-signals/ ) H) Collect and prepare food and water (survival situation) (wilderness-survival.net/chp8.php ) I) Perform First Aid (bcadventure/adventure/wilderness/survival/index.html ) Uniform We will not require a specific uniform. Any woodland (desert out west) pattern camouflage will be acceptable. You should have a hat or ‘cover’, a camouflage boonie hat is a good idea. Army style covers that fold down to cover your ears are not bad either.
