The American Redoubt
"The last big frontier
A movement of staunch conservatives and doomsday-watchers to the inland north-west is quietly gaining steam
ASKED by an out-of-stater where the nearest shooting range is, Patrick Leavitt, an affable gunsmith at Riverman Gun Works in Coeur d’Alene, says: “This is Idaho—you can shoot pretty much anywhere away from buildings.” That is one reason why the sparsely populated state is attracting a growing number of “political refugees” keen to slip free from bureaucrats in America’s liberal states, says James Wesley, Rawles (yes, with a comma), an author of bestselling survivalist novels. In a widely read manifesto posted in 2011 on his survivalblog.com, Mr Rawles, a former army intelligence officer, urged libertarian-leaning Christians and Jews to move to Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and a strip of eastern Oregon and Washington states, a haven he called the “American Redoubt”.
Thousands of families have answered the call, moving to what Mr Rawles calls America’s last big frontier and most easily defendable terrain. Were hordes of thirsty, hungry, panicked Americans to stream out of cities after, say, the collapse of the national grid, few looters would reach the mostly mountainous, forested and, in winter, bitterly cold Redoubt. Big cities are too far away. But the movement is driven by more than doomsday “redoubters”, eager to homestead on land with lots of water, fish, and big game nearby. The idea is also to bring in enough strongly conservative voters to keep out the regulatory creep smothering liberty in places like California, a state many redoubters disdainfully refer to as “the C-word”............"

Hadn't heard of the region coined the "American Redoubt" before. If Hillary gets elected you can bet the #s moving there will only increase..

Re: The American Redoubt
We have plenty of wing nuts already.
My BiL is a sheriff in a rural county here. He's a solid conk but can't stand these types. Mostly constitution party members, heavily armed and extremely stupid.
I've been thinking about taking the family up to the North Fork of the Couer d Alene river. A buddy who camps and fishes up there regularly said just be careful of locals in Pritchard, ID. He said they once went in the bar there with a Mexican friend. The bartender pulled him aside and said 'what are you doing bringing a fucking spic in here? You all better leave before someone decides to string him up and drag his ass behind a truck.'
The cutthroat fishing can be out of this world though.

Re: The American Redoubt
Good read, but nothing really new. People have been moving there for that reason long before comma man posted it in his blog. I've seen articles about this from time to time since the 1980's.

Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm
MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.
It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.
Thank you for your attention to this matter - UNI88

Re: The American Redoubt
My Dad target shoots with his glock at his cottage on the Susquehanna, just north of an atomic power plant. He got visited once, mostly because I went jogging into the parking lot just after 9/11. I wasn't aware of the security ramp ups. He shoots to qualify after his retirement. The neighbors are afraid to approach our cottage, hillbilly PA hunter types, because they know he has hand guns.
