Most Preppers Can’t Navigate Without GPS — Terrorists Count on That
AMERICA UNDER SIEGE: PHASE III - DELUSIONS THAT WILL GET YOU KILLED
There’s a level of dependency baked into modern life that most Americans don’t even recognize anymore, because it has been normalized for so long that people mistake it for reality. They think it’s just “how things work.” And nowhere is that more dangerous than navigation. The average person, and yes even most preppers, cannot get from Point A to Point B without a glowing blue dot on a screen telling them exactly what to do. They don’t know the area. They don’t know alternate routes. They don’t know which roads dead-end, which ones flood, which ones turn into choke points, and which ones lead directly into a trap. They know what the phone tells them.
That isn’t navigation. That’s obedience.

Thank you for your support.And if you want to understand why this matters in a domestic terror scenario, you need to stop thinking like a civilian. You need to think like a predator. Terrorists don’t just count on panic. They count on predictability. They count on the herd instinct. They count on the fact that Americans will all run the same direction, down the same roads, toward the same exits, into the same bottlenecks. They don’t need to hunt you across the whole city. They only need to know where you’re going to funnel.
And you’re going to funnel exactly where your GPS sends you.
This is one of the most lethal delusions in preparedness culture because it’s invisible until it’s too late. People spend years stacking food, ammo, plates, radios, med kits, and gadgets, while ignoring the one skill that determines whether you can even get out of the kill zone in the first place. Because if you can’t navigate without GPS, you are not “mobile.” You are not “ready.” You are not “escaping.” You are trapped inside the infrastructure, dependent on the infrastructure, and when it collapses you become a stationary target.
That is not preparedness. That is fantasy.

THE GPS LIE: YOU DON’T KNOW YOUR OWN AREA
Most people think they know their town because they’ve lived there for ten years. They don’t. They know the routine routes. They know the grocery store run. They know the school pickup loop. They know how to get to Home Depot. They know the interstate on-ramp they use every day. But take their phone away, drop them three miles off course, and suddenly they have no idea where they are. They don’t know which direction is north. They don’t know where the nearest major road is. They don’t know how to move without landmarks spoon-fed to them by a mapping app.
This is what modern convenience has done. It has created a population that cannot orient itself in the physical world. We have a nation of adults who are basically wandering children without a device. They don’t build mental maps. They don’t pay attention to terrain. They don’t track distance. They don’t remember which roads connect. They don’t even read street signs anymore, because the phone already told them when to turn.
So when the system fails, the average American doesn’t improvise. They freeze. They hesitate. They start making stupid emotional decisions. They drive in circles. They burn fuel. They waste time. They drift toward crowds because crowds feel safe. And they end up exactly where predators want them: boxed in, slowed down, and clustered.
This is not a minor weakness. This is the difference between escape and entrapment.
