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?

Czacza,
These sites still do not contain the kind of collaborative information I am aiming for. For example, I grew up in Hocking Hills in Ohio and as a child I would constantly be hiking through the woods with my family. I remember finding this place called Rock House near my home and told myself that if anything were to ever happen I would tell my friends and family to meet there! It is places like these that people could share with their 'network' of friends- not publicly, but with those they are establishing some sort of plan with. It's just an idea, but help me work out the kinks!

So when you're out in the wilderness with no electricity or when wireless transmission is weak how are you going to access this site?
Surely when the "proverbial # hits the fan" Internet would be very, very limited in its accessibility. There would be a lot of people stealing computers also.
I'd suggest a very easy to use UI, with minimal images and download times. Each post would send out critical information, including your current estimated coordinates (there would be a map with lat and long for reference, and you'd click on where you think you are), a time stamp and your name.
It would have to be very minimalistic in its design, and focus on maximizing text on the screen.
Oh, and very, very cool idea. Starred and flagged.

When the SHTF even the internet might be taken offline or severely censored so if I were you, I would rely on no one but yourself and prepare yourself Now.
I don't believe it's a good idea to reveal too much about yourself on this site as the PTB could confiscate this material or could very well be profiling/archiving everyone here as you post. I've witnessed a few obvious Trolls here on ATS and other sites of whom always seem to defend the PTB whatever your argument may be. I'm ready for whatever goes down as I've been preparing for a while.
Checklist:
Land: at least 10 acres, preferably with clean/potable water via stream or well with fertile soil to grow your own food and barter/sell the surplus.
Weapons and ammunition. Go to a firing range and get familiar with your weapon of choice.
Acquire a stockpile of non-perishable food.
One could always build a house on their own land if necessary.
These are the basics, though they will prove essential for many in 2009.

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.
