THIS SITE

is for posting contacts. If you want to start or join a group, create a post here. In order to do that, you will need an account: you register here.

This is NOT a singles site.

A WARNING ABOUT INTERNET PREDATORS

The online prepper community is, like the rest of the Internet, the target of scammers & predators. From time to time the admins here are made aware of people posting on the site who are targeting preppers in the hope of selling them places in communities that don’t exist or real estate deals that are nothing more than scams. (There are also sexual predators known to troll online forums — so please, take all care in information you divulge & in agreeing to “meets”) Read more on this here.

I’ve just added new categories you can post under.

So as well as finding preppers by location, I’m hoping these new categories will help you find preppers by their skill set.

So when you post, you will need to manually select your skill category if you want to take advantage of these changes.

You will also be able to search by skill category.

If I’ve omitted any skills, let me know.

To get the ball rolling, I will add the appropriate skillset cats to recent posts where the poster has posted as having them.

I will add the new categories to this post so you can see all I’ve added so far.

Southwestern Oregon Preppers (SWOP) will be holding a meeting at Noon on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at the Coos Bay Public Library, 525 Anderson Ave, Coos Bay, OR 97420.

The main topic is “PERSONAL SURVIVAL STORIES.” Some of our members have survived fires, floods, earthquakes, and other disasters, both natural and man-made, in the USA and abroad. We will hear first hand experiences from fellow members.

This is a free public meeting to get to know fellow local preppers in southwestern Oregon counties and to exchange information and ideas. It is important for individuals to understand that they will be “on their own” in the event of a disaster and not depend on receiving outside help.

This first get together is just to talk and see what people are interested in and what we can share as far as ideas and resources.

No registration or sign up lists and if individuals want to share contact info they can do that individually.

We have some skilled people around that are willing to share so if you have any curiosity or knowledge in things such as : ham radio, freeze dryers, solar power, generators, 12 volt well pumps run off of solar panels, ATV’s and motorcycles, gardening and seed saving, greenhouses, poultry or anything else connected to surviving and thriving in the current and coming times stop by .  I will be the grey haired guy making wire horses…..

I recently moved to OK, had to get out of Denver, CO. I’m in the Norman/Moore/OKC area and am looking to meet like-minded people and a mutual assistance group. If there is a FB group/page or another site, I’d appreciate a link or such.

I am most willing to prove my worth.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Hello everyone!

Life has a way of throwing you some curve balls.  In 2019 I had several tossed at me.  Divorce, job change and relocation from Wyoming to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Things have worked out and I have a wonderful wife and a new location I call home.  My wife and I left our network in Wyoming and now we are looking to build a new one.  My wife and I are both veterans and she served in combat in Afghanistan.  Looking forward to making new friends.  Just say hello.

I want to learn more survival skills. Is there a class or family willing to teach?

Alabama Militia has been stable for several years, and is expanding our group. Most of us are in North and Central Alabama, but we have abilities to assist and grow other areas of the state. We are not just a Militia, we have Preppers, Homesteaders (PrepSteaders), and are starting a CERT Team in our group to be able to assist in emergencies and disasters. We focus on training for all of these areas of instruction. We are a family and community oriented group, and if you dont feel that you would fit in the Militia, then join as a PrepSteader or CERT. All of our information is posted on our website and feel free to contact us via our website if you have questions or are interested in learning about us. Our PrepSteader group is outstanding and has a lot of knowledge and skills to pass on.

Currently a resident of NY but soon will be returning to my home in South Carolina (specifically the Pee Dee) region. Was curious to see if there was any active Preppers in SC, or even an established group of preppers. If not I’d be willing to take the time and the effort to start up a group, and network with people within the state and surrounding areas.

You can email me at:   [email protected]

Hope everyone stays safe in the wild times our world is going through now!

A new group is forming in Northeastern Oregon. An area that is rather invisible to the rest of the prepper community.

Group is named North Eastern OregonPreppers.  Their website has not gone active but will soon.  NEOregonPreppers.net

Looking for members in the area as well as affiliation with existing groups.  You know stronger nets have more ties.

Couple looking for a group of DEDICATED preppers

 4 Corners Area, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming  5 Responses »
Nov 112023
 

We are a married couple of 46 years in our late 60’s. We started prepping in 1984. Well provisioned, husband is retired Army, wife served 2 years. We have experience raising pigs, chickens and dogs. Some gardening abilities with room for improvement. Some basic medical skills. Husband has basic construction skills and RV repair skills in addition to other skills. Wife does the animal raising.

Our current group is in a state of denial for the current events in the world and America, so we are looking to join a DEDICATED group who’s membership is aware of what is happening and realize we only have a few months at best. We currently live in western Colorado, but are very willing to relocate to a better location.

I organize a group of men in NE Oklahoma who routinely train small unit tactics, marksmanship, radios, medical, and preparedness in general.

We are currently in search of anyone who would be willing to train and organize with us, especially those who are not so much “trigger pullers,” but specialize in areas such as gardening, raising livestock, food preservation, communications, higher-level medical skills, etc. We want to expand our network of likeminded individuals in the area to the greatest extent possible.

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re in the area and interested.

Republican government, moral people to be around, kids, gardens, chickens, self reliant living . Montana.

I think we will have major changes by march that will be a real problem for families that are not already where they need to be.

We all have something to contribute as well as different skills and abilities. Say hello at [email protected]   Montana is a good place with low population density, easy homeschooling, decent values and low restrictions on firearms.

Looking for others either already here or wanting to get out of the woke cities. We have some resources to make things happen right now ….

Do your own reasearch on the millions of illegal aliens coming in across the southern USA border. Especially the 27,000 chinese in the past year or so. Almost all males of military age. If you are in or close to the 14 major cites they are being bused and flown to……..it is time to relocate.

Ready for a cyber attack any day now?  It is getting real people.
