SHTF Groups

[wack8]

I'm always interested in End Of The World discussions, meetups, plans, etc. I always thought it'd be a good idea to kind of have a group nearby, so when shtf, you could meet and go to costco or a grocery store when society starts to plummet to do your last bit of stocking up. It could get sketchy going it alone to one of these locations. I always feel like there must be some group of rednecks that has a plan to lock down their local costco and shoot anyone that tries to get in, in the event of some sort of societal break down. I may be over-thinking it a bit, but that's better than not having a plan.

That could get ugly really quickly. Especially if it's more than your group. Best to have some supplies at home and not plan on shooting people you don't have to.

If he needs supplies that bad, he was never prepared.

Haha, semi-serious. Mainly curious if there were groups out there that would do that kind of stuff. I'd probably try to do a last minute big grocery run before things got too serious. I'm not gonna go in guns blazing to lock down my local Safeway, or fight my way into one that is locked down. I was really just seeing if anyone thought that stuff like that would happen.

And the whole point of the post wasn't about the fact that I'm not prepared, I have supplies to bug in for a few months. This thread is about SHTF Groups though, not about having supplies in my house. When SHTF I'm not intending on turning into a crazy, I'd prefer not to fire my weapon at all, unless someone was trying to raid my house. Just throwing out some extreme thoughts / questions because I feel like that's what people hangout in these SHTF topics for, but I could totally be wrong.

What a great discussion. Building a group of like minded people is great but my neighbors would all be dead weight. What about Colorado AR-15 being the foundation for 'our' group. I'm thinking the group would be for trading of supplies and services. We would have to have meeting places and ham radios for communications. Just having a trading group would make a huge difference in surviving. Ham radios are needed because you can't depend on the internet or phones.


CO AR-15 Trading Group:
1 - Places to meet for trading supplies and services.
2 - Predetermined ham radio frequencies for communications.
3 - Some way of identifying each other.

I think this sounds great, but I would like to have some way to keep it private so that anyone with google can't see our planned meeting places and such. I think somebody mentioned making an invite-only subforum on here to talk about it and I like the idea. I just don't want people with bad intentions knowing our secrets.

I know I can trust some of you... not sure about the gay narrated honey badger though.

Agree with Honey Badger: privacy would be a prudent measure...
