One question that was asked was how to go about FINDING a survival group. This one is always a tough question. I've always considered the best route to be forming your own group, starting first and foremost with your own family. Why your family? They are going to be with you, even if some are not currently "preparedness minded." It's YOUR job to bring them around to that. NOT through coercion, bullying or deception. Your next possible recruiting pool would be close friends. These are the folks you've known for the better part of your lifetime, or at least for many years. Why these folks? Simple. These are the folks that most likely KNOW that your a survivalist. These are the folks that WILL come to your house if something happens. Why not take the time to convert them now and have them be USEFUL to the overall survival effort rather than being a BURDEN to you when the time comes?Take your time and move slow. Giving these folks a comprehensive list of preps needed right off the bat will intimidate them. Start small.Another method of finding like minded people is via some of the online message boards and forums. Attending some of the campouts, meet and greets, BBQ's, shooting matches, gunshow gatherings, etc. are all good ways of meeting other like minded folks. From there, it's just a question of sifting through them to see who is truly serious and meets any qualifications you may have. We have covered this extensively in the past and will continue to cover related subjects regularly. RH

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, these days, it's very hard to find someone within the same realm as you are....even if your lucky enough to find someone,how do you really find there true colors....more recently then ever,I've found people that will say there looking for one thing and then go off and so another the very next day.....
Times sure have changed....
I don't get this guy. After you totally blast his argument for taking over your BOL, he looks at someone else's picture and says, "Hey, maybe we could take THAT over!" He just doesn't get it, does he?
