Depending on where/when it's going to be, I might need a ride to get there. If I have a bicycle by then, and I'm given enough notice, well, it would be a good chance to test out my bug out bag (if it's finished by then). However, I would rather either have enough money for a greyhound (no promises), or have someone not too far away give me a ride, and I could help with gas money.
 
We have about 40% looking for summer time meets so far. I imagine that's because kids are out of school, and overall cost of travel(Not including gas) during winter, fall, spring.

@Trapper , we are trying to split the US into 4 parts to set up M&G's. More if there are enough people wanting to attend. @chris135825 , There are people from the NE. Last year, we had the NE meet in Pennsylvania. It wasn't further north because there weren't many folks north of there that were interested. @hollisticprepper , there are probably folks who can bring you. I'd advise meeting them prior to the trip though, and under controlled circumstances. You never know who you're meeting from the inter webs.
 
Summer it is, then!
I understand some people have different views, but the majority of folks are asking for summer M&Gs.

So, I need to ask for some folks who are willing to step in and help out with planning in your area. I already have the SE in the works, but I am willing to hand it off if we are in need of someone to plan the NE meet. I am in the Mid Atlantic, so I can go either way to help see it through. Please shoot me a PM if you are interested in helping out.

Anyone in the SE area that's interested can pm me and see if we can get enough people to make this happen.

I can start working on the Midwest M&G. If you want.
 
Okay, so then it looks like June so we can avoid Memorial Day and July 4th traffic. I'm leaning towards doing a M&G in Mid-Atlantic, south of DC. I need people for other regions still. I've got @carhugger_prep as a volunteer for the midwest. So if you're interested in helping to find a location for your region, please chime in.
 
June 13th and 14th- Mar your calendars.... We're going to be hosting a M&G for our members. We still need people to help put together an event in their areas. We have the @carhugger_prep covering the Midwest, and I'll be holding an event either in PA or VA... I'm going to decide that this week based on how many people reach out to me. If we have more up north(Or someone volunteers), I'll do it in PA, otherwise, I'm going to do it further down this way.

If you decide to host or attend this event, please take pics, LOTS of pics. If someone doesn't wish to be photographed, we ask that you honor that wish, but otherwise, I'd like to see some good times at the events this year.
 
If anyone wants to attends the Midwest M&G private message me so I can make final arrangements. And anyone outside the Midwest who wants to attend and feel free to private message me.
 
I am holding one here in Indiana at the North KOA in Elkhart/South Bend. People just need to reserve a spot there and tell me that they are coming. But no one has messaged me about it.
 
I didn't g et any interest in the Mid Atlantic, NE, or SE regions. I'm still open to a M&G, but if I don't get more interest, I'm going to end up hosting a family reunion, since it'll be all my family showing up!

It may not be lack of interest, but in my case there is just no way I could get away at this time. It's harvest time for me and it's either pick and preserve or let everything rot . . . . it seems like it is always one thing or another around the homestead
 
i think thats the issue with most here.busy picking n canning.plus the jobs folks have as well..im thinking of going ahead and haveing me another camp out any how.i gotta have one time to time.. :D
 
I can appreciate that. The polls reflect people wanting to get together in summertime. The reality of it is different for everyone, though. I think many folks were saying that they were hoping to do summer because the kids would be out of school. Maybe we ought to look at doing different events through the year. If folks can make it, great. Absolute worst case, it'll give options.
 
Hey, I voted for winter, but even then I had milking. It's hard to plan in advance.
 
I keep thinking that there's so many people in Texas that I'm suprised there aren't prepper rallies/meets all the time. Then I remember how big Texas is. You could be your own country.
 
yeah..there's so many within a 2 hour drive of me..it's scary that we haven't met up and all
