Buffalo National River
Arkansas' state motto is The Natural State and that tells you a lot. It has great state parks with wilderness comprising broadleaf forests. The northwest boasts the Ozark Mountains while the south and east of the state has flatter land and shows more of its agricultural heritage. The Mississippi River forms the eastern border of the state and gives a great blues music heritage, great country music elsewhere (Johnny Cash was an Arkansan) and folk andeverywhere. There are wonderful state parks with camping facilities and some with cabins. The Buffalo River has majestic scenery and easy canoe float trips (but go in late spring to be sure there is enough water). The summer is HOT and humid; spring and autumn are wetter but mostly from intermittent heavy rain showers. Winter brings a little snow, but this time of year can still be humid. Spring is tornado season.
The spelling and pronunciation of Arkansas (it is always ar-kan-saw) reflect the state's heritage. The name is a French pronunciation of a Siouxan word meaning land of downriver people and was prescribed by law in 1881.
Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport (formerly Little Rock National Airport), located dead center, is Arkansas' main air terminal, although XNA near Bentonville is another option. Other airports can be found in Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Texarkana, and Memphis, Tennessee.
Arkansas' food resembles that of its southern neighbors. Much truly authentic and worthwhile southern cuisine is made in private homes, cookouts, or church functions, rather than actual restaurants. One exception is barbecue, particularly pork barbecue, which is widespread, and available in restaurants, roadside stands, and even trucks. Another regional staple is fried catfish, often it is served with hushpuppies, cole slaw, and french fries or a baked potato. Catfish is especially prevalent in the lowland and Delta regions of the south and east.
The legal drinking and purchasing age of alcoholic beverages is 21. Arkansas is one of the five states that don't allow any exception to underage drinking, although underage drinking is not explicitly prohibited by law.
Keep in mind many Arkansas counties are dry and do not have retail alcohol sales. However bringing alcohol for private use into a dry county is legal for those over 21 years of age. Currently, 37 counties are dry. You cannot buy alcohol in a store on a Sunday.
Arkansas does not have much in the way of craft beer. It can be hard to find craft beer outside of a liquor store (although some grocery stores sell it). Diamond Bear beer is brewed in Little Rock. It is also worth noting that there is no Yuengling in Arkansas.

Manifesto For The Ozark Plateau Part 8 of 11
The major thrust of my message -gaining clarity and content -over the years, is that at some point in the future -after economic collapse, civil unrest / war, WROL, etc, will come Invasion -and at that point, there will be one major place of refuge in the CONUS -to the point of it literally being -
A REFUGIUM.
DO NOT GLOSS OVER THESE DEFINITIONS!!! Read them.
They are perfect descriptions of what The OzArk Plateau Will Become.
REFUGIUM:
An area that has escaped ecological changes occurring elsewhere and so provides a suitable habitat for relict species.
a geographical region that has remained unaltered by a climatic change affecting surrounding regions and that therefore forms a haven for relict fauna and flora.
an area where conditions have enabled a species or a community of species to survive after extinction in surrounding areas.
The Ozark Plateau was designed perfectly -At CREATION
-for this point in time and space to take in up to 40 Million Refugees.
It has a 1300 mile moat surrounding it
-natural borders and defense in a Medieval / Military scenario.
1. Remnant people have been being gathered here for DECADES.
2. They virtually ALL have the mindset to be ready to provide food and shelter for as many people as possible. vimeo.com/user4829908
3. Water Sources:
A. Freshwater aquifers under the whole thing which allow one to drill a well virtually ANYWHERE. This allows anyone to have their own protected water source. It also allows for a free thinking people...because well water is not Fluoridated to calcify the pineal gland and pacify the population...and Chlorine to poison the internal organs. Both are Halogen Elements of which there are four -Iodine is a 24/7 necessity. The other three are poisons.
What did I say above? Internal / Protected Water System. Ideally, this is a stream or well or cistern
RIGHT UNDER THE FORTRESS
B. Cold freshwater Springs put out somewhere between 3 BILLION to 10
BILLION Gallons of water PER DAY!!!
Once again -realize this is a second water source under the fortress;
Ideally, this is a stream or well or cistern...or SPRINGS PUTTING OUT-
3 TO 10 BILLION GALLONS OF FRESH, ICE COLD, MINERAL RICH, HIGH ORP, GOOD PH,...AND RADIATION FREE WATER...
RIGHT UNDER THE FORTRESS!!!
C. Lake systems...River Systems, Farm Ponds.
Basically, walk five minutes in any direction and find water.
If you can't do that dig a hole and wait for it to fill up.
4. Trees, etc wood-gas alone can probably be provided for a hundred
years without cutting one more tree down just from the trees
bulldozed to clear fields waiting to dry out enough to burn off.
Nobody ever need be cold in the winter.
5. See #4.
6. See Google Earth / DeLorme Topo Maps.
Now...ask yourself one more question;
Where would be the better place to go in a national crisis...
Would I prefer to move to a region full of survivalists whose brainwashed mentality is to shoot first and ask questions later, and whose preparations and Main Mental Mantra are for Us Four And No More, and many of whom ask the question when thinking about hungry people coming to their door; Should I feed 'em or eat 'em? (True story. I heard this from an 80 year old prepper.) and who are so brainwashed that most will lean toward the second option...
or...
Would I prefer to move to a region where millions of people have been providentially gathered with the common theme in their heart to prepare for as many people as possible???

Gunners Pool In Ozark National Forest, Blanchard Springs, AR. The water comes up from under the ground and that is where it begins. I don't know who the man is fishing on top, but he has more guts than I do. He knew I was filming, but he didn't seem to mind. Sir, whoever you are, my hat's off to you and your bravery!
