There are many different potential scenarios for a disruption of our social structure, and many different approaches to how people should be prepared. Some people even make preparations based upon some of the potential scenarios. For me, most of the ways that people would like to prepare do not work for me. I don’t want to move to a co-housing facility, I don’t want to fortify my house and hunker down, I don’t want to alter my current employment and lifestyle, and I don’t want to talk endlessly about how to be prepared. I just want to quietly and covertly prepare a remote location for an emergency arrival and long term survival, aka “bug-out” site. If there is ever a disruption in our society, I want to quietly disappear, get out of the way, then come back out when things get better. Even if nothing ever happens, at least I have my own private place to go for recreation any time I please.

Many of the prepper opportunities today can be very expensive. Whether it’s pre-packaged survival foods and equipment, buying or building a house in a community or acquiring land, these things can be quite costly and reduce your ability to acquire supplies. It can be quite discouraging for preppers on a limited budget, especially if they are doing all the work by themselves. It’s also tough to be dependent on others for their survival, especially in today’s society. It’s a double edged sword – you can’t do it alone, and you can’t rely on others so what do you do? My approach makes prepping a little more affordable, allows preppers to make their own preparations without relying on anyone else, and joins together like minded people to work towards a common goal.

This is a brief overview of the plan. I own 40 acres that is remotely located in the San Luis Valley (near the Great Sand Dunes). It is completely paid off. Each member would get 1/4 acre (104′ x 104′) to set up as they please with campers, trailers, RVs, etc. enough to house their family/clan and supplies. These items are abundant, inexpensive, easy to repair and maintain, and provide immediate shelter and storage. You may think they are not ideal for long term survival, especially during winter, but this can be mitigated very easily and affordably. Members will be responsible for their own site, making improvements when they can and growing their stockpile a little at a time. Members will also work together with the other members to make general improvements to the 40 acres for sustainability.

This is NOT a ready-made community where everything has already been done. Members will NOT live on the site, but may use their site for camping and recreation as often as they like.  We do NOT accept work in exchange for membership, and we have no income opportunities at this time.

Membership is open to anyone that is willing to work hard, get dirt under their nails, go above and beyond, and able to work well with others. We are NOT religious, political, lesbians, artists, militia, separatists, anti-government, or extremists of any kind. We will NOT discriminate against sex, race, color, nationality, religion, political affiliation, sexual orientation, financial status, disability or any other reason.

There is alot more to the plan, but it’s too much to put in this post. This plan is very affordable, allows members to make preparations at their own pace and within their budget, and assembles a group of people willing to work together for a common cause. Some of the ideas I have will allow us to accomplish the things we need to accomplish at a fraction of the cost, many of them utilizing unconventional means.

We have 40 acres in the San Luis Valley that is completely paid off. We are looking to form a group of preppers that would like to build a “bug-out” site, and we am willing to share our land for this purpose. The idea is to create a storage facility where each member of the group will get a 1/4 acre lot to “store” their campers, trailers, RVs, 5th wheels, buses, trucks and vans, plus enough supplies to last their families for a year or so. This will not be a place where people live, instead it will be a place that is prepared for an emergency arrival and survival. The group will also work together to develop sustainability on the 40 acres, should there ever come a time we need to bug-out from the cities. While there will be no members living on the site, members may use it for camping and recreation any time they desire.

The first goal is to begin developing the group. Once there are a few members we will begin working out the details of the project, so that it is satisfactory to all members. Once there are at least 5 or 6 members, we can implement the plan and members can take possession of their 1/4 acre. Membership will be limited to 20 families and/or groups. This is a great opportunity for preppers that want to have control over their own preparations, would like to work together with other like-minded individuals, and would like to have a voice in the development of the group.

The only qualifications are that members be hard working, are willing to get dirt under their nails, and willing to go above and beyond for the sake of the group. In other words, no slackers. Members must be team players, must work well with others, and must capable of taking the lead when required. We will not discriminate against race, religion, nationality, color, sex, financial status, sexual orientation, physical appearance, disability or any other reason. This group will not have any religious or political ideologies. We will not be a militia, separatists, pacifists or extremists of any kind. The only ideology we will follow is the mutual survival and sustainability of the group, should that ever become necessary.

This is NOT a ready-made place where members can just move in and everything is already done, and this is NOT a place where “we” do all the work for you. In fact at this time there is nothing on the property, so we are starting with nothing but the bare land. This project will take alot of sweat, maybe some blood, and hopefully only tears of joy to complete, so if you are not interested in hard work there is no need to inquire.

If you have any interest in this idea, please send an email to havaclue at gmail dot com. We will do our best to answer all your questions, so that you can determine if this is right for you or not. The project developer lives in Colorado Springs.
