Depending on the situation of course...

If you aren't moving around and have some sort of camp/base then people who may not be able to hunt/fish/build a camp fire can provide support in a lot of other aspects. Chopping wood, sewing clothes, preparing food, and stand watch at night for example. In the real world those little ankle bitter dogs aren't much use in a fight yet they can bark to sound the alarm.


Even the elite military units rely on team work. You can be the baddest mofo in the state with super ninja mountain skills but you have to sleep sometime. What if you are the one that slips or falls and breaks an ankle?

As mentioned trust is the biggest issue.

Indeed, teams are important. Even extremely small groups will get stressed out as not having enough people to have security watches, etc. For all those that have been in the military everyone knows that SOF work in teams, but also rely on teams of support for them to accomplish their missions

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

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.

If it was me, and I was looking for a group (either one already established or starting one of my own) of like minded individuals/families, I'd keep an eye on this section of the forum.

I'd pay attention to who lives in my area and posts good info.

I'd send out a couple of PMs to those people and see if we were approaching this problem from a similar mindset.

That may lay a foundation to build on.

Just a thought.
