    What you think you need as will everyone else may not be what i an looking for. The "Lets BO to the mountains" "Plains" out east 2 miles etc is great, however get the members of this board [pick 5] and see if you all agree what the best land scenario would be. I don't mind helping out or being helped out. If i am not the sole owner of the land ideas and goals will vary.

    Things are looking dismal out there, Obama may very well win a second term, and keep deficit spending us towards financial collapse. No time for posting a 1000 times and spending two years here waiting to wedge your way into the lifer's trust. Split off, everyone will be happy.

    Is this kanecutter posting under a different name? Sounds like the same shit.
    Organize a shoot [meet & greet] if given enough notice people will see what they can do with their schedule.
    I'd say shoot this sunday, pawnee, but you are too far to drive for a few hrs of shooting. Likewise to travel down south, given 4 days to prep.

    FWIW: EVERY NEWBIE that has this attitude regarding us old guys, either doesn't last long, joins the .mil or punks out when a put up or shut up thread is started.

    The last sentence i highlighted is why (in response to another thread) i would not be in a land group by. Some of old timers might show you a thing or too, firearm and prep wise.

    Didn't dodge, Jim, just didn't see the activity. Lots going on at this forum to get waylaid to. No, I'm not kanecutter, must be a good dude though.

    I'm personally not driven to immediately buddy up on the bug out thing, I've got a different plan I'm working on right now, but I can envision a time down the road when I created a community somewhere on a piece of land that's ideal for private self sufficiency. If you dictate the parameters, you control the situation. Better than the whole meeting of the minds, decide where to go scenario, in my mind. Just make it available, structure it, and then screen those who step forward wanting to be a part of it. But that's for a time a bit down the road. For now I'm staying put and riding out the wave of insanity and mayhem where I am. I have to.

    Anyway, as for my suggestions here, I saw in this thread a band of the cool and mighty crassly discussing how to weed out the uncool, and a group of the noob (read uncool) getting left out in the cold. As I said, I'm not in the market right now for banding up, but I felt bad for the others here that were expressing interest in it. Time and post counts doesn't make one a better person, more skilled, more valuable. Those here with time under their belts and associations made don't necessarily represent the cream of the crop in said attributes. There are better ways to screen, less time consuming, more open door. Bar that system being in place, another option for those left out is what I suggested. Hell, it's a big site, does it have to be one group anyway? Simple answer, no. It could end up being several. Nothing to get all girly sensitive about.
