Good to see that others in the southern states are surviving this epidemic. The situation in Oklahoma is not that great, though I have managed to get to and secure land that my family owned before this "Outbreak" occurred. Fortunately for me due to my uncle's hording of old cars and shittery, I'm in fairly good supply of mechanical items and in supply of a goodly amount of fresh water and wood. This is due to the fact that we back up onto some flood plains that the government used to own (I doubt the government is even in control anymore at this point)that has a nice plot of woods and it also backs up to a river system, I have managed to piece together a rainwater collection system from clean pipes and some 55 gallon drums to provide myself with fresh,clean and safe water as well as using a charcoal filter system built from a couple of Tupperware tubs and some pipe fittings I found in the garage.

I've also made a make shift fence around a garden area inside of which I have planted some winter wheat, carrots, peas and some beans. Tomorrow I hope to test out my gasification system if successful I will attempt to convert a vehicle to run on a smaller version. Spirits are still high here as my ammo and canned foods are still in good supply.

Rommel (The dog) and myself await further communications from the outside world via the failing internet services, I wonder if the amateur radio bands will light up once the internet goes down for good.

Fitted a rain catch to a huge Rubbermaid tub today. An idea given to me from Jeff Murdock posted above, very clever. Spotted the tub on our way back from our salvage run to the supermarket. Kept a keen eye out for anything that could be useful, always with our heads on a swivel. It took the day alone just to bring it back.

I noticed any trip taken outside pays with the cost of ammunition. Im going through more ammunition than I would ever have expected, but I am still good for now.

Damn, I still have to write down our about journey. In all this it was surreal, It was longer than we expected. My mind is still trying to grasp the images seen out there and that was just in my neighborhood. Let alone this county, state, region, continent, world.......

In my own time, our own time, I will explain it all.

Our story of experiences must be told, so that our children, our children children will know how we fought back and survived starting with this country.

I would just like to say I am proud to be an American. God bless the USA.
