John's Story

****Note: As many of you know, I moved to Texas to manage one of Ted Nugents hunting ranches. Well over HALF the People I know are NOT prepared for "Anything". Nobody Stores FOOD.... Nobody Saves Money in a Savings Account. Nobody carries a Gun or even a Belt Knife. This is an Article I received a couple days ago from my Friend Ted Nugent. I have many Friends and some who are Related to Me ..... that will say things like "Yeah But" or "He is some Right.... but goes too far!" So if you have "Time" Read it and decide for yourself??? "Semper FI" and Carry On GunnyCowboy ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: NUGENT <nugent Date: Thu, Jun 23, 2022 at 1:43 PM Subject: Nuge To: GunnyCowboy <gunnydawg The Ultimate Hunting Rig by Ted Nugent Always be prepared! As the old Boy Scout adage/truism says, to my way of thinking, it is more important today than ever in history, given these rather interesting times we find ourselves in these days! Raised in a hunting family in the glory days celebration of the ultimate good over evil of America’s victory in WWII, rugged individualism and sensible preparedness were standard operating procedures. That every boy had a pocket knife and knew which end of a hammer to grab, the glaring difference between then and now is not only stunning, but extremely embarrassing. Such spiraling ineptitude and self-inflicted dependency can be traced to pretty much every ill plaguing our ruptured culture in 2022. Just look at the goofball who thinks he’s the president! Ugh! As I improvise, adapt and overcome the stupidity and brainwashed mindlessness that infects so many areas of our society, I can proudly say that rugged individualism and self-sufficiency in myAmerica is still alive and well, and the man in the arena continues to excel in the swirling dust of the American Dream challenge. Sure, I still unleash killer R&B rock-n-roll electric guitar mayhem on my new animal breeding soundtrack CD Detroit Muscle, but in between bouts of exciting sonic bombast, the Great Spirit of the Wild continues to bring me much needed soul cleansing balance and unlimited, thrilling adventure in the great outdoors beyond description. What fills my pockets and straps to my belt every day has me reasonably prepared for pretty much any challenge one may encounter, and will more than likely face just by simply living an active lifestyle. Like my daily carry 10mm handgun and spare magazines on my belt, these basic tools are for instant emergency use in order to control a dangerous situation so as to get to my long guns and increased firepower in my truck. And those long guns in my truck are merely the intermediate tools to get me safely home to yet more capable artillery for any potential escalation that may occur. On my person are what I consider the minimal essentials for Boy Scout preparedness on a daily basis. In one back pocket is the mandatory large clean handkerchief. In the other pocket is my sturdy wallet with some cash, credit cards, a few standard sized band-aids, basi...Expand for more
c insurance cards, my hunting license and emergency medical transport identifications with emergency phone numbers. In my front pockets are a pair of collapsible reading glasses, an old multi-blade Victorinox pocketknife, chapstick, charged hearing aid case, hearing protector valves, a lighter, a Ted Nugent challenge coin or two, a slew of guitar picks, a large folding knife and a small fully charged flashlight. On my belt is a Glock 10mm handgun with 4 spare magazines and a belt tool. There may also often be a 2nd compact 10mm pistol as well. In my shirt pockets are my sheriff credentials, drivers license, pistol permit, a sharpie, a ballpoint pen and my fully charged cellphone. Yes, all that, everyday, everywhere no matter what since 1967. In my daily driver, whether it be my firebreathing Dodge Hellcat or one of my Ford Broncos or pickup trucks, you will find the following; A full 1st aid kit, fire extinguisher, shooting sunglasses, heavy duty towstraps, full toolkit, an assortment of zipties, hoseclamps and nuts and bolts, wire, road flares, spotlight, flashlight and spare batteries, heavy duty blanket, rope, work gloves, rain poncho, small umbrella, paper towels, toilet paper, shovel, axe, saw, Hi-Lift jack, spare tire, air compressor, tire repair kit, spare fuses, phone charging cable, oil, power-steering and brake fluid, backup fuel filters and fanbelts, an AR15, police vest, spare magazines, water, and a few protein bars. After a lifetime of world travel and wilderness hunting adventures, I have learned to never be without such basic supplies for whatever the world may throw at me. Call me radical, (please) but my precious gift from God life is worth every possible effort to protect and safeguard. My Broncos and pickup trucks are built with survival capabilities in mind. Heavy duty everything, increased ride height, larger tires and increased wheel travel, winches, dual batteries, auxiliary lighting, and a slew of spare parts just in case. Whether dealing with Michigan blizzards or raging Texas floods, my trucks have been built and engineered to take on and overcome the worst possible conditions to get me home safely. I cannot tell you how many times my better prepared trucks have rescued people who were caught with their guard down. I learned long ago to never be caught with my guard down, and my vehicles and daily preparedness reflects a lifetime of lessons learned. Anybody got a pen? I got a pen. Anybody got a match? I got a lighter. Anybody got a bandage? I got a bandage. Anybody got a gun? (wounded deer on the road) I got a gun. Anybody got a flashlight? I got a flashlight. And so the list goes on. Be a Boy Scout, or at least the original Boy Scout, and always be prepared. The life you save may be your own, or possibly someone else’s. Either way, where there’s a will, there’s a way. Have the will, and be ready for anything. As I always say; I’m cocked, locked, and ready to rock the Glock around the clock, doc! You should be too. It’s easy, it’s fun, and it’s the right thing to do. Real Boy Scouts forever. Ted "Nuge"
