The American Redoubt in the News
by F.J. Bohan
A large part of the region often referred to as the “place
to be” for survivalists and patriots seeking freedom made the news again today.
Wyoming has been identified as being in the top 7 worst drought states in the
U.S.
Colorado, South Dakota, and Nebraska - all three states adjoining
the American Redoubt region - also made it on the top seven list.
The National Weather Service doesn’t see an end in sight; in
fact, things will most likely get worse.
Up to half of the portions of Washington and Oregon that
fall into the “Redoubt region” also are experiencing significant drought and
water shortage issues, as is most of eastern Montana.
The region’s American Indian tribes have also been in the
news recently, having been active in protecting their water rights and bringing
into question the only area of the “Redoubt” that has water. The Snake River basin,
along with all the water both in the river and the reservoirs, has been claimed
by treaties that are many decades old. The
Nez Perce tribe has filed thousands of water claims that could affect water
rights for hundreds of miles.
With all the water-related issues residents of the American
Redoubt face it’s hard to imagine they want more people coming to the area, but
there is no doubt that those arriving will have to be survivalists just to get
by. You might want to bring an extra canteen.
