My wife and I have just purchased a home and 2.5 acres in southwertern Missouri, Diamond to be exact. We are apparently outside of town being 3 miles from the George Washington Carver Memorial, towards highway 71 side.

We are just getting into prepping, actually more her idea. I don’t really know that much about it other than what we have been reading. We are bringing my grandmother 84, mother and father in law with us. He is a retired vet, now disabled. This affords me the ability as my wife put it, to finally put my gunsmithing degree to work for us.

Being from New Jersey at the moment has hampered us because our gun laws are worse than most liberal countries. I am having one stupid problem at the moment. Like everything else in the world these days, the internet is our best source of information. Well, we’ll be one Cortez lane, and I cannot for the life of me find any high speed internet offering. Dial up is useless, satellite I have heard and researched is both expensive, slow and spotty at best. There must be someway for us to get highspeed internet in the area we will be in.
If anyone can tell me of any please email me. Malibese [at] yahoo [dot] com.

Sincerely Kevin and Patricia

The Eastern NC Prepper group is a 70+ member group for preppers and those that wish to learn more about the lifestyle that live in eastern NC (however the group is open to anyone).

The main objectives of this group is:
- Advancment of the art and skill of prepping
- Networking with fellow preppers
- Learning about the prepper community as a whole.

The group has only 3 rules, no religion, politics or business hocking in general group. Meaning in private if you want to discuss that with others that is fine.

I am Orion Darkwood and would like to personally invite you (friends and family are welcome) to Scourging in September.

Please RSVP by Labor Day aka Sept 3rd

Date September 8th

Time 1pm – 5pm (park closes at 8pm)

Location William B. Umstead Park Shelter #2 (Crabtree Creek) -http://www.ncparks.gov/Visit/parks/wium/main.php

Directions – Go into the park from the Glennwood Ave side (if you coming up Glennwood from 440 I recommend going up to the stop light and turning around since getting across can be a pain). Once in the park kept straight until the road circles back (35.871699,-78.761051 for you GPS junkies), the Big Lake will be on your right. You see a side pointing to a concerte walkway that winds around some picnic tables. Shelter #2 will be visible (its the second building you will see on your right) if you get the bathroom you have gone too far.

Greetings,

Looking to find a few other prepper families/individuals in the Youngstown area. All of the postings for Northeast/Southeast Ohio are simply too far away.

I was hoping to meet people who are interested in practicing outdoor survival skills and food preserving.

Look forward to hearing from you:)
