We have what we refer to as a 24 hour to 48 hour stop off. We have a location in northeast florida were we will form up with one another. It is a well hidden location and off the beaten path. After we meet up there and redistribute supplies and other thing,s we will take more hidden paths and country roads to northern Alabama. There we will form up with more preppers. We will remain there until we have to bug out again if needed. However, I don’t believe that will an issue. We are all well trained and I believe we have thought out everything, from night watch to dig in locations to fortify ourselves. We have all been prepping before it became the “in” thing. For me, for example, my father would drop us off in a closed base on the weekends or more to survive on what we had in our pockets and on our backs. We don’t let many people know the extent of our preparations until we know they are reliable and trustworthy, just because we do train our children. Not just for when the shtf, but also for real life issues like kidnapping and ect. We are more like a close knit family, rather then a bunch of people stuck together like you see on doomsday preppers. We are not saving for any particular event, but more for any that comes our way. We help in knowledge. Every one has to carry there own weight, our reloaders reload, our medics heal, carpenters build, and school teachers teach. We all have very valuable skills, and like most people, some have to double up as others as most of us have a vast array of skills to bring forth so we can survive. We have thirty people in Florida, and close to triple that in Alabama. Our Alabama location is on top of three mountains that hold live stock, homes, a huge lake that is river fed. So even if someone dams the river, we will have enough water from the lake and springs to survive till the dam is taken care of. The three mountains surround a valley, so the children and the elders will be very well protected. We also have all walks of life. This must be expected, as we all pull our own share. We range from old to young, different back grounds and race, to different sexual preferences and religions. I myself don’t care the color of the skin or if they’re gay or straight or if they’re religious or not, as long as when the time comes, they will defend and push, and not retreat and stall. ( Yes, I know retreat to fight another day or fight from another direction).

We would like to know more about you, your views and ideals, ideas you may have for preparing, what you are looking for in a group, your preparations, your experience and training (if applicable), any special skills you may have that you believe would be an asset, etc. Please contact at Looking4kitten (at) ymail (dot) com

I totaly agree with meeting people close to you, see what there doing and what not. But everyone believes what they want to believe. But people need to meet on this site from all over. Comment on peoples posts talk to each other. Because in this day and age with all the travel we do for fun and work, we never know where we will be when anything happens. So knowing more people like us only helps all of us in the long run. Thats my thoughts!!

Any christian preppers out here in MN beside Yankee Prepper (check out yankee prepper on youtube, *note; his best vids have been made veiwable only to subscribers) Anyway, I am looking to get a group together or join an existing group to start a hardened homestead along with an off-the-grid infrastructure.

I also am willing to relocate.

I have much to offer and bring to the table besides just skills and would prefer others that have a like mind when it comes to this lifestyle.

Greetings this is a follow up from a much older post in July as we have continued to rapidly evolve as a family.  We have 105 acres in Preston County WV. 
We are located on a secluded, mountain top that has incredible views (which allow you to defend), two ponds a 60×120 metal barn that houses currently two horses(want to add some draft horses and equipment) and their hay and stuff…… 
We are looking for four to five like minded CHRISTIAN families to JOIN us here.  Religion MUST be the same but all our other differences/knowledge/experience will be nothing but a benefit to the group. 
The house that is mortgaged is on 16 of these acres. l  The other 80 acres are clear from any bank note.  The ponds and springs are on that 80. 
We would like to sell off 4 to 5- 5 acre parcels, placed around on the property in prominent places (fort style).  The main house which is where my family lives could be used as the educational, church, meetings, etc.  There would be common grounds that would be allowed to use by the community with strict rules that would make sure ALL would be doing their fare share. 
We all need to work together, we need to trust each other with our very own lives, and more challenging with our children’s lives. …  The acreage would not be cheap as you are buying into a place that has already been worked on.  The 5 acre parcel for @75 to 100k would buy you a place to start stocking, place an abode on to house your family that would be watched and protected while your not here, a spot in a supportive Christian community, common ground for livestock, also part of the money would go into building a solar greenhouse for the winter months and a large spring house using our springs.  
We have lots of wildlife, the property will retain its value because even though we are off the beaten path, you can drive 8 minutes to a little town that has just about everything you would need and is a 30 minute drive from Morgantown home of WVU university. 
So if God willing nothing happens it would/should retain a sellable value-which we would  want the first offer to buy back to ensure safety with who is around us.  The road is rough getting here but that is a good deterrant for others. 
My husband has his masters in plant pathology and soils so he is very good at fixing the soils, plant id, growing food and medicine.(life saving)  Although he is not a hunter (yet) he enjoys target practice and has great aim.  He is an avid outdoor enthusiast  (hiker, former rock climber, fisherman, etc) that can build and readily fix things. 
I am an avid gardener, huge canner, lots of dehydration of foods/herbs and jerkey.   Have been learning all the local vegetation and bringing stuff here that would be advantageous. Familiar with medicine and what to take for what, obviously have books that extend on this.  Dabble in reflexology/accupuncture with the help of a resource book.  I am a forever optimist that has a bachelors degree that allows me to “run a place”,  home educates our four children 14, 13, 8 and 5. 
My kids know how to work, bring in wood, garden, vet our animals, scoop manure, pull weeds, etc.  We live in a beautiful house but we are no premadonnas here.  We have 9 dogs that do a great job protecting and numerous cats to kill off the disease carrying rodents.  We have chickens and roosters. 
This spring we will allow them to have lots of babies to increase our numbers.  We will also add turkeys and beehives……….I made sure there is enough flowers, etc to feed them.  Thinking about goats.  Our goal would be to function more Amish then having oodles of other types of power, although for some sources, alternative power would be great.  The main house has 8,000 sq ft. (hence the reason as well to protect our value should all stay well and “return” to normal)
Someone asked me if they could rent a room in our house to start putting their things here with the idea to bug out to me when the tshtf.  This is fine but we still need to get some used trailers/alternative housing scattered on the property.  The house also has a “safe place-(use your imagination for why we may need that)”.  
I know the amount may seem cost prohibitive to some but I feel this would be the way to go.  To have someone living full time at the area and continue prepping as you continue with your life having stuff sent here, then we could have monthly meetings to assess the place and what needs to be done/or purchased is a good idea.  We have stored our food, meds, medical supply, cleaning materials, hand toals both inside and out, soap,  pet foods, stocked ponds, and are adding ammo as finances allow.  We also have years of clothing and gear for ourselves and kids stored up……………….gloves,hats, jackets, boots, etc.. 
I am taking this very seriously as should you.  I want to make it as comfortable as a transition as possible but it takes team work………..there is no “I” in team.  Should you want to be part of this team/family please email me at surelythiswilldo at hotmail.com.  Best of Luck to you all and God bless!

Well I have not posted in a while, but as I have recently been contacted off of older posts of mine, I figured an update was in order.  I am a leader of a group with property in Mid/West TN.  Almost 200 fenced acres with springs, game, fertile fields and nicely defensible.  We have spots for about 2 more families.

Our group has grown, and we have struck an amazing balance between skills and personalities, and I do not plan to rock this boat, no matter how skilled you may be.  A good attitude is a must.  We are not a charitable organization, so you must have your required supplies, or financially able to get them in a very timely manner.  While we are Christian, we believe we must provide for ourselves first and foremost.  We accept young children, so, if you do not want to be in a group with children, do not contact us.  We have the means and ability to protect what we have at all costs.  If you have an issue with that, please know we do not make exceptions to that rule.

We are strong in security/tactical, homesteading skills, hunting and butchering, farming, building, some alternative energy, mechanical skills, light medical and bee keeping. We may  have communications covered soon.  So, where might you fit into our group?  We do need medical and will consider any useful skill.  We do verify information and perform background checks.  No Drugs, No Thugs, No Exceptions!

We all put time into the group, whether through physical labor, or research and planning.  Any new members are expected to do the same.  We are not militant.  We will not fight against tanks or march anywhere. We are suburban types afraid for the safety of our families.  We are willing to do what needs to be done, both right now, and in the future, to secure the best future we can. We sacrifice the fancy vacations, cocktail parties, $200 jeans, and sports cars to do so.

Now you know a little about us.  My post may seem a bit strident, but a sense of humor is actually needed in our group.   Do know, we are a solid group of families, who, by some miracle, all get along very well and actually enjoy each others company.  Members come to the property because they want to, not because it is mandatory…. If we may be of interest, I can be contacted at arguenot4 at ymail dot com
