Its only been a few years since Popcorn Sutton decided to croak himself rather than report to the federal pen on a moon-shining conviction. For those of us who were born and/or raised here we know that the mountains of Appalachia (pronounced ap-uh-latch-ya) are not a place that you want to go if you're not prepared for some hard-assed conditions where every decision that you make can make the difference whether you survive or not.

| Appalachian Redoubt-Patriot stronghold |
These days a lot of folks are calling Appalachia the "Appalachian Redoubt" no doubt figuring that when the North American live-fire exercises get rolling that the nooks and crannys in the southern mountains will be great places for Patriots to hide out in.

| Eric Rudolph in better days |
Eric Rudolph managed to hide out successfully from the feds for years, only getting busted by chance by a Cherokee County rookie deputy sheriff while dumpster-diving out of the back of a grocery store in Andrews North Carolina.
Here in southern Appalachia things have changed, yet many things haven't changed in the few short years since I was a kid. If you peruse the flea markets (Uncle Bill's is a big flea market in between Dillsboro and Whittier on US 441) you can see all sorts of interesting artifacts. 'Turons' love 'authentic hillbilly' stuff and are quick to shell out good money for trinkets that us local-yokels just laugh about.
Then there's the folks who come to train--you did know about the US Army Camp Frank D. Merrill training area just outside of Dahlonega GA where Rangers and SF train to do the real deal just off the Appalachian Trail didn't you?

And Patriots come to train also.
From Ivey Mike lessons learned: "I spent some time backpacking in the Appalachian Redoubt last week. It
was a remote area well off the AT in peak Black Bear country, with
barely maintained trails full of Rhododendron that criss-crossed
boulder-filled waterways that ranged from ankle to chest deep."

(get ready for the upcoming North American live-fire exercises coming
soon complete with plague, pestilence, race riots and ISIL terrorist
attacks!)
