Survivalists ready
for Armageddon
United Press International
ROGUE RIVER, Ore. —
Driving past the small farms up
East Evans Creek Road out of
Rogue River, it’s hard to tell
where the “survivalists” are
living.
That’s all part of the plan.
An effective survival retreat
is indistinguishable from the
homes nearby.
But the survivalists are there,
learning to live off the land and
to defend themselves and their
families. They are loosely knit
but share a common conviction:
they expect collapse.
It could be from nuclear war
or from governmental break
down, maybe due to another oil
embargo or runaway inflation.
These survivalists are in
southern Oregon — reportedly
several thousand of them, most
ly in a 20-mile radius in the
Grants Pass-Rogue River area —
for several reasons.
Bob McQuain, a survivalist
and Grants Pass Realtor of the
Year for 1982, explained why
the group chose southern
Oregon:
“Southern Oregon appeals
because of its mild weather con
ditions, no extreme hot or cold
or rain and good climactic sea
sons for growing.
Rogue River is five hours by
car from Portland and seven
from San Francisco, too far for
urban refugees to make it on
one tank of gasoline if collapse
occurs.
The area also is regarded by
some experts as the satestin
United States.
Government reports on
effects of nuclear exchange
mate that this little podei
southern Oregon wouldbedi
of radiation within 48 hoi
giving a chance of survivalwil
out fallout shelters.
McQuain, who used to be
actor in such television series
“Gunsmoke” and “Pd
Mason,” was a friend of Mi
Tappen, the guru of the siâ„¢
alist movement.
Tappen moved intothearfi
in 1977 and soon was publishinjl
his Personal Survival Newslellfl
from a ranch in Rogue River.Ht
died unexpectedly last year
kidney failure. His wife, Nano;
continues the publication,â„¢
she says has nearly 1,(
scribers.
The newsletter is full of mate
rial on “weapons, a lot of ala
native energy this year,
food, medicine, homesteading
that kind of thing,” she
“We cover just about everythin
you need to be selfsufficient.'
It is not cheap to be a sunt
alist.
McQuain, who works
contract to seek out propertfi
said, “A good, average minifal
or mini-ranch and you’re loot
ing at $100,000 to $150,000.’
He said minifarms average
to 10 acres and include ajM
ranch house, barn, outbuild'
ings, pasture, fruit trees,
spots and good water.
We’re looking for a few good college students and graduates who can fill the shoes of a Marine Corps Officer. That’s a pretty tall
order. Because it means leading other Marines. Being a leader of the finest. Being responsible for their safety and welfare.
Being in charge. That’s something no civilian job can offer you at 26. It’s something very few people can ever measure up to.
For those few who do meet our standards and have the drive to be a Marine Officer, we offer tuition assistance in the NROTC,
Platoon Leaders Class (PLC), even a chance to join the Marine Reserve while you’re still in college. If you think you’re cut
from the right mold, drop by your college placement center and set up an appointment with your Marine Corps Officer
Selection Officer. Or call this number, 800-423-2600.
Maybe you can
