Yeah, sorry it was so long. But, the short answer to the question? Nope. lol
I don't talk to anyone about prepping either, except for some family. My son and daughter and grandkids all live about 9 hours north of here. My son lives off grid in a house he built in the mountains and my daughter lives about 20 miles from him. I think they'll be fine if or when the SHTF.well prepping is not a popular practice ,so I tend to walk a narrow path and stay to myself when it comes to prepping,,,besides if the SHTF I am to far from anyone I know to try and plan for a joint venture,,a good number of us are alone because of this fact
i am very much like you Grayghost, although I live on the edge of a town its a small rural one, if and when the power grid goes down I don't expect many people to remain here, 21st century people don't have the knowledge or skills to live without power especially once the stores and filling stations are empty.
yes I know the area here like the back of my hand, up to a 25 mile radius. most houses here are modern- last 25 years-and are all electric, so once the power goes off unlike us most peoplewill relocate.it is pretty much the same here,50 to 75% of these people will use what gas they have to relocate me I stay put,,,,,,,,,,,,I know the area and will have very little trouble living a 1850s life style
yes same here, my only DUTY is to make sure my wife and I survive, not to people who cant be bothered .you start talking about the SHTF and most people look at you like you are a nut and many will either become cold towards you or condescending ,,,,,I don't see any reason to open myself up for that sort of treatment so I don't talk about it
my niece and her husband know what I am doing and they are about the only ones who do but they are 850 miles away in Florida, they start dropping nukes I doubt they can get here but they know they are welcome to come when the world goes to shityes same here, my only DUTY is to make sure my wife and I survive, not to people who cant be bothered .
I understand the combined need for security as well as avoiding the social stigma. What I'm building with the ShieldWall Network is a coalition, a web, of relatively local folks who get to know one another now and work together to learn who runs things in their communities, where all of the available resources are, how they are accessed, and how to become a person of influence in their communities before SHTF, if they want: or to have a network of personally known and trusted like-minded folks within half a gas tank's drive or less who have a variety of skills, training, assets, and resources on hand for mutual support and assistance, now, and for when it's really needed some day.
how to become a person of influence in their communities before SHTF,
