Shtf idea

[Great-Kazoo]

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.

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!

I agree, you can easly tell who thinks the way you do. Do they have a slightly modified off road vehicle? do they have a few "out door" stickers on that vehicle? Do they have any hunting related stickers on their car? what about large deliveries from cabelas or places like that? do they go hiking/camping a lot, but are not hippies?

of course people can like all those things and not care about being prepared, but it is also a conversation starter and you can find out more that way.

I know my neighboor two houses up has a very nice jeep, deisel truck, and is a huge fan of hunting, i think he and i could get along if shtf.

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.
