That said I see a lot of posts about people bugging out if the SHTF scenario happens. Why? I thought about packing up my wife and kids and going to a spot and holding up. Problem is then we are on our own. My question is why not join together? Lets say member "A" lives up north here near me and has say 5 acres of land. Why not get to know a few other members here and IF the SHTF scenario happens why not have members "B" "C" "D" fall back to his place? For me I would bring my trailer as housing. If you have multiple people in one place you have advantages. More people to defend against what ever mob or looters are out there. If its a really long term problem you could have people that maybe could farm while some hunt or go get water. I have been thinking and planning for as many possibilities as I can think of. But the thought of sticking together as a group seems to make a lot more sence to me. I was thinking this could happen all over the state. Maybe a group south of Denver. maybe one on the western slope. We all have something to bring to the table. Could be the land itself. Maybe someone is good with keeping vehicles running. And along that thought. What would you be bugging out in? As far as vehicles. maybe thats another thread but I have been thinking about that as well. Im curious to see what you all think.
I like the idea as my bug out location is 4 hrs south and the only way to get there is 285 or I 25 both major roads.

Things would have to be well planned ahead. who has land, who is bringing trailers, are you willing to share your preps with other people. who will be in charge of each "village" what if someone is all gung-ho about it shows up and just moochs off other people? how is this person dealt with to avoid retaliation. Also alot of this would need to be planned FTF, to ensure OPSEC is not comprimised.

Guess the point of this ramble is Trust would be paramount!

And seeing as how i am fairly new here still i wouldn't imagine someone being super inviting to some guy I know on the interwebs. I hope to meet alot more of you guys and maybe make some good friends. I know that only one person on this forum, the guy that referred me, knows anything about what i have prepped
