Social-Networking for the Survivalist!

Via the iternet is too dangerous in anyway. It must be done in person, thats the only way to be semi safe. But even then who can you trust?

I have been reading Survival Blog for awhile now.

This will be somewhat a duplication of that, I think.


[edit on 24-11-2008 by Ex_MislTech]

I build web pages in my spare time and would love to contribute to this project if i can be used! please contact me... I think your on to something!

The massive increase in gun and ammo sales says there is either
a lot of pranoid ppl, or they have been reading all the news from
all countries and playing connect the dots.

I am going to presume the later of the two.

A lot of ppl like to talk about how dumb ppl are on average,
but in general those are the ppl who do not read, and for
ppl to be here on ATS they at least have some interest in reading
at some level.

Too many ppl such as Ron Paul have expressed grave concern,
and so have other ppl for many years.

We are seeing the beginnings of the economic collapse right now.

But they are still trying to hide the magnitude of it and it will still
blow up at some point in the not too distant future:

The 100's of trillions derivatives crisis

Natural events could be yellowstone finally blows its top again.

For east coast folks it could be the Cumbre Vieja.

For central US folks The new madrid fault produced a major earthquake
during the lifespan of the United States.

California is always poised for another major quake, and in the
NW Mt. Rainier is showing a bulge and is likely to be a dread
grey eruption possibly with another lateral blast like Mt. St. Helens.

The reformation of the nation of Aztlan:

I am sure there are many others that I have not listed here.

If you get a chance watch Oliver Stone's JFK and consider it
for where our government is headed.

Look at the videos on youtube with the many Fema camps being
built by KBR-Halliburton that have the barbed wire pointing in
with red, green, and blue zones for ppl.

Old closed Amtrak facilities with brand new 6" high pressure
natural gas mains installed.

FEMA camp with barbed wire pointing in

Decided for yourself if ppl in the past who brought you "Air America"
and "Project Northwoods" are to be totally trusted.

Directive 51

Operation Northwoods

Air America

Rex 84

Garden Plot

So while things may not be that bad now, we all for the most part
admit that we see corruption and bad things happen in our government.

Throughout history most governments have collapsed.

The rampant greed and cronyism has eaten away at the
foundation of our nation and it is becoming unstable.

When militia groups go before the senate and threaten the
US government with open revolt, its time to pause for reflection
at a minimum.

Prepare accordingly.

Good Luck to you all !

Sounds like a good idea to me , so let me know when and where to sign up This is not a one liner

Yeah use the online message board or blog to help ppl locate
like minded ppl near them. Then they can collectively get
to know each other in regional groups, but we can all plan our
ways and skills to survive as a large group that will never all meet
face to face.

It is somewhat like that over at survival blog, alot of the good info
is buried a bit though.

Yes, an offline copy tha can be accessible without electricity is
essential as a russian satellite or chinese satellite can simply
drop a nuke to about 400km above the US and wipe out
any unshielded electronics with a 30" pc of wire connected to it.

en.wikipedia.org...

Keep in mind that if things de-evolve into nuclear war around the
world as we humans LOVE to kill each other by the millions
based on history.

Then I highly recommend you plan on an underground home,
and the writer Mike Oehler shows how to do it on the cheap.

www.undergroundhousing.com...

The reason I think being underground long term is so
important is it will be 45 degrees cooler on average in
north america and there is just not going to be enough
firewood for everyone to make it in these thin walled houses.

3 ft. of dirt provides protection from fallout and extreme cold.

You will need at least a portion of it setup as a prudent
fallout shelter and that info can be acquired here:

www.ki4u.com

If you want cheap but fairly effective civil defense rad meters they
can be had on ebay for under $100.

The closest call to WW3 we have seen recently was when we
started steering our ships near the coast line of georgia
when the South Ossetia issue was going full tilt.

The next likely close call is if the whole middle east goes up
due to Israel attacking iran like they recently attacked syria
for having a nuclear site in the works.

Good Luck to you all !

I like the idea of having a social network of fellow survivalists but it would need to be done face to face and even then you cant really trust a perosn you just met through a group. As i said, the i dead is a very good one but im not sure how practical it would be without a long period of time.

Guys fear never works we all should come together and spread our knowledge for survival . I have been involved in my are be giving my time, labor and knowledge for free to work with others for there time labour and knowledge and i tell u this it is better than any weekend hunt u can imagine ole timmers love to have someone to inform young pups that are willing to learn

This is a great idea. I'd sign up. I am trying to develop skills to help my family be self-sufficient and need the help! I am a bloted forty year old raised on video games and Steak 'Ems™, no fatherly input, and I don't want to be useless and tech-dependent. I want to learn to hunt and garden, for enrichment and my kids,, even if the world doesn't end as is so often predicted here. The world never ends. We are going to have to slough through and depend on our wits and one another to make the tomorrow we want out of the today that is handed to us.

Count me in!

OK!
Lets start where everyone is based.

- No point organising groups if where on the other side of the world.

I'll start:

I think that would be like drawing a circle around yourself and making yourself a target for rogues and the government who when they run short will come knocking at your door.

I have just been advised that there is a gathering of British survivalists gathering in Birmingham on the 24th/ 25th Jan 2009, its a chapter of the Zombie Squad forum members, I may pop down myself and get involved in the debate.

Agreed. I can't really speak for others but it does seem that some people hold back on this forum while others attempt to be a little more extrovert.

Perhaps it's me but I'm reluctant to flag any of these posts and cringe every time I see a "tell me something specific about your preparations or requirements?"

Who am I kidding? Anyone with half an ounce of determination could gather enough info to find out enough to track me down. I know this. Personally I don't think I'm that important but still, no point in intentionally drawing attention to yourself.

Stay out of the limelight; make yourself as normal as everyone else...
