    Default Shtf idea

    This is just an idea but most people here have an idea of what we would do or where we would go if shtf. How come we dont have a location in colorado where we could all meet up if things got bad. We're all fairly like minded people. We have supplies and the skills to survive. Why truck it alone?

    There's another post in survival sub forum recently that talked about the same thing. The biggest obstruction would be trust was the consensus. Except for some of the folks that have met each most of us are strictly internet buddies.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    no matter who you know there will always be a few freeloaders. i did not take training, instruct others, prepare the spouse and daughter what to do if needed, so others could ride my coat tails.

    Everyone here has one if not more specified trait that would benefit the whole. I'm in northern CO. why would i want to hump X hours over terrain not 100% familier to me so i can meet up with others.

    If you were to ask around (quietly) you would be surprised how many "like minded" people there are within walking distance of your door.

    If i had to seriously bug out those plans are in place with rely points to meet others whose stopping point is the same.

    Completely dependant upon situation, so lets just assume something rediculous like zombie apocalypse. At first sign, I load up my car with as much ammo, guns, food and water I can carry, make an attempt to secure the people I care about, and get somewhere remote.

    Sorry, but all you Internet folks are on your own. Good luck.

    Because just like hunting camp last year within the first day everyone would eat my stash of nutter butter bars!

    Also it would be harder to elude the zombies in a large group. Smaller 3-5 man teams can hide better and cause way more damage to a large force. And if you have to survive living off the land a small group is going to be easier to feed then a large group.

    But after bugging out we could all meet up for a monthly brew ha fest!

    You said nutter butter
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.

    I agree, you can easly tell who thinks the way you do. Do they have a slightly modified off road vehicle? do they have a few "out door" stickers on that vehicle? Do they have any hunting related stickers on their car? what about large deliveries from cabelas or places like that? do they go hiking/camping a lot, but are not hippies?

    of course people can like all those things and not care about being prepared, but it is also a conversation starter and you can find out more that way.

    I know my neighboor two houses up has a very nice jeep, deisel truck, and is a huge fan of hunting, i think he and i could get along if shtf.
