Shtf idea

[Obound]

This is just an idea but most people here have an idea of what we would do or where we would go if shtf. How come we dont have a location in colorado where we could all meet up if things got bad. We're all fairly like minded people. We have supplies and the skills to survive. Why truck it alone?

There's another post in survival sub forum recently that talked about the same thing. The biggest obstruction would be trust was the consensus. Except for some of the folks that have met each most of us are strictly internet buddies.

no matter who you know there will always be a few freeloaders. i did not take training, instruct others, prepare the spouse and daughter what to do if needed, so others could ride my coat tails.

Everyone here has one if not more specified trait that would benefit the whole. I'm in northern CO. why would i want to hump X hours over terrain not 100% familier to me so i can meet up with others.

If you were to ask around (quietly) you would be surprised how many "like minded" people there are within walking distance of your door.

If i had to seriously bug out those plans are in place with rely points to meet others whose stopping point is the same.

what jim said

[DeusExMachina]

Completely dependant upon situation, so lets just assume something rediculous like zombie apocalypse. At first sign, I load up my car with as much ammo, guns, food and water I can carry, make an attempt to secure the people I care about, and get somewhere remote.

Sorry, but all you Internet folks are on your own. Good luck.

Because just like hunting camp last year within the first day everyone would eat my stash of nutter butter bars!

Also it would be harder to elude the zombies in a large group. Smaller 3-5 man teams can hide better and cause way more damage to a large force. And if you have to survive living off the land a small group is going to be easier to feed then a large group.

But after bugging out we could all meet up for a monthly brew ha fest!

Probably because most everyone wouldnt want to take orders from the other members and everyone would want to be the leader. I personally wouldnt want to e a part of that chaos. Better off on my own in my neighborhood or my BO location.

I wouldn't be down. Know why? Here is a comprehensive list of what I could contribute to a group:

1) I have 9 extra toothbrushes.
2) I can tie a square knot.
3) I can tell you who is at fault in an automobile accident; in most cases.
4) If your shirt sleeve rips, I can hand sew it back on for you.
5) I have 1 unopened bag of 100' of paracord, but probably would forget to bring it.
6) I have a mid level Silva compass.
7) I like to stay up late and sleep in.

Irving,
I am the same way--have absolutely nothing to offer to any such group. Maybe a bunch of us with no skills and talents should band together in such an event and become the little engine that could! After all, we still have our personalities. And mom always said that the personality was the most important thing!

I can code stuff. Very important when shtf to code stuff. I can also fix a few things, but when shtf I think I'm going to take a vacation from helping people, and just leech off all the ones that owe me thousands in favors. Or perhaps eat them, I'm not certain. Either way, it's a vacation.
