Shtf idea

[Mick-Boy]

Well it does seem like I am seeing more and more people on this site from the Aurora area, but I don't know for sure if you guys are on my street or not....where is everyone?!

If it was me, and I was looking for a group (either one already established or starting one of my own) of like minded individuals/families, I'd keep an eye on this section of the forum.

I'd pay attention to who lives in my area and posts good info.

I'd send out a couple of PMs to those people and see if we were approaching this problem from a similar mindset.

That may lay a foundation to build on.

Just a thought.

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?

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.

That, and figuring out how to keep otter pops frozen without electricity are my plan, in broad strokes.

Night watchman? somebody's got to watch for zombies while the others sleep... but it's not really a -skill-

You don't have to call my Irving. That's just what my screen name is. Call me Stuart all you want.
