When Disaster Strikes

Rogers Rules of RangeringMajor Robert Rogers in 1759 wrote the Rogers Rules of Rangering after the first 3 years the Rangers were

formed. These are17 rules that were learned, simple rules but at

the cost of blood.

Of course, all SOPs are guidelines.

Here are Rogers Standing Orders:

Monday, March 11, 13

1. DON’T forget nothing.

2. HAVE your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, sixty rounds powder and ball, and be ready to march at a

minute’s warning.

Monday, March 11, 13

3. WHEN you’re on the march, act the way you would if you was sneaking up on a deer. See the enemy first.

4. TELL the truth about what you see and what you do. there is an army depending on us for correct information. You can lie all your please when you tell other folks about

the Rangers, but don’t never lie to a Ranger or Officer.

Monday, March 11, 13

5. DON’T never take a chance you don’t have to.

6. WHEN we’re on the march we march single file, far enough apart so one shot can’t go through two men.

Monday, March 11, 13

7. IF we strike swamps, or soft ground, we spread out abreast so it’s hard to track us.

8. WHEN we march, we keep moving till dark, so as to give the enemy the least possible chance at us.

Monday, March 11, 13

9. WHEN we camp, half the party stays awake while the other half sleeps.

10. IF we take prisoners, we keep ’em separate till we have had time to examine them, so they can’t cook up a

story between ‘em.

Monday, March 11, 13

11. DON’T ever march home the same way. Take a different route so you won’t be ambushed.

12. NO matter whether we travel in big parties or little ones, each party has to keep a scout 20 yards ahead, 20 yards on each flank, and 20 yards in the rear so the main

body can’t be surprised and wiped out.

Monday, March 11, 13

13. EVERY Night you’ll be told where to meet if surrounded by a superior force. Don’t sit down to eat

without posting sentries.

14. DON’T sleep beyond dawn. Dawn’s when the French and Indians attack.

Monday, March 11, 13

15. DON’T cross a river by a regular ford.

16. IF someone’s trailing you, make a circle, come back onto your own tracks, and ambush the folks that aim to

ambush you.

Monday, March 11, 13

17. DON’T stand up when the enemy’s coming against you. Kneel down, lie down, hide behind a tree. Let the

enemy come till he’s almost close enough to touch, then let him have it and jump out and finish him up with your

hatchet.

The Green Beret Survival GuidePart of the proceeds will go to Special Operations Warrior Foundations. SOWF provides scholorships grants, education and family counsiling to the surviving children of special operations personnel who have died.

West Point graduate, former Green Beret and NY Times Bestselling author Bob Mayer brings you a different type of survival guide (one you can actually use): a practical step-by-step handbook for the average person, full of valuable information. It’s written using humor, personal experience and training, film & book examples, and real world case studies.

This book lays out the mindset needed to survive from mild, to moderate, to extreme emergencies in a logical flow that moves from preparation you must do now through action in the actual emergency.

Covered are the five key elements of survival; the Special Forces Area Study; how to build you survival A-Team; equipment needed; proper preparation and actions in your home and your car; then covering a range of emergencies from car accidents to burglary to hurricanes, power outages, vampires, wild fires, plane crashes, alien abduction, terrorism and more. Yes, there is humor in the book, because humor is a key element of survival. Certain over the top sections (vampires, etc.) are designed as Kindling pages (not Kindle) that can be torn out of the print version and used to start a fire.

From the basics, the book moves into detailed survival techniques for water, food, fire, shelter and first aid. Finally, the book concludes with extreme emergencies, where civilization might collapse, whether for a short or extended period of time. And yes, that's when we get to zombies (communicable diseases).

This is a book that can save your life and the life of those you love.
