Yes.......I screwed up.....thought I was posting both "Parts ONE & TWO"........ I was wrong.
Interesting "lack" of discussion in this thread.
In the last year, I have been reduced to the same thing. What I am best good for now is knowledge. Now....If I only had someone local to share it with.Sourdough, you're in far better shape than I. I don't have the strength or stamina to take a hike on a garden path let alone across virgin forest. I've done it so I know what it is like. Knowing yourself and working with your reality is important.
When that day arrives my role would be to delay the opposing force and reduce their numbers.
Those are good videos. However, they're discouraging for us older &/or average physical specimens. My constructive takeaway is to simplify that model to a realistic level. Half the weight might be doable. The figure in the video seems slow and cumbersome so much as to be extra-vulnerable. Given the model challenge, 50 miles in rough terrain, one ought to be able to achieve that in a week or less. The longer you're out & about the more opportunities arise to be caught in the open.
Look up the story of Kit Carson, where he went for help for General Kearny when surrounded by the Mexican Army. He & a young scout snuck through the enemy lines in the dark, barefoot, then traveled between 25-30 miles overnight to the friendly forces.

The guy had night vision and was young and healthy enough that he should have been able to make that journey in about three nights. Doing that in broad daylight in full combat gear was lunacy.
To Morgan101: If he was more concealed they wouldn't have been able to make the video. But yes, down in that hollow seemed extra vulnerable compared to somewhere on a steep hillside with his back to a big tree. He easily could have been taken by surprise down there with no chance.
Yes, and Newsom sent $1 billion of Californians' tax moneys to China for masks that never arrived.At first blush I thought it was a bit over the top to think that some governors would turn to China for help, but then I recall several elected leaders turned down federal assistance last summer as their cities burned all because they didn‘t like Trump. And their cities burned all summer, people died, and property was lost all for political ideology. It could happen. We do elect evil, or stupid people. We get what we deserve.

Logistically the shortest distance between mainland China, and the West Coast of the United States is over 5000 miles. From China to California is nearly 6000 miles. If China did launch an invading force by air or by sea it would take a significant amount of time for it to get here. We would have plenty of warning. It would not be a surprise attack.
