This password is only meant for your first visit – after you log in, go to your profile settings and change the password (using the password area at the bottom of the page) to something of your own choosing.
Private messaging (PM’ing) is available on this site users the posters online name as the address.
This site is supported primarily through commissions from sales made through the various links on the site, the rare donation and mostly by me paying out of my own pocket. So sorry for the advertisements (such as ‘Survival: Prepare Before Disaster Strikes‘), but I need them to help ease my financial burden.
If you wish to find others in your location, look at the left-hand margin of the main page under LOCATION. As this site is mostly used by U.S. citizens, the U.S. states are the main locations listed – but country locations are also used for those situated elsewhere. If your location is not listed, I will create it when you make your first post.
The prepper forum is where all the “chatter” takes place. It’s where you talk about your preps, ask questions or just shoot the breeze. It is moderated and there are rules imposed by the moderators. These are mostly based on common sense and good manners, so few people run foul of the mods there.
The PrepperGroups site is made using Word Press. The prepper forum is made using Simple Press. Both come pretty much configured out of the box and give little latitude to those who wish for ‘simpler navigation’. In that case it’s mostly a matter of “you need to be this smart to use this website”.
I usually send out a monthly newsletter that covers new updates to the site, books written by site members – and the occassional Amazon Gift Card Giveaway. To receive the newsletter go to Subscribe To Newsletter on the top right hand side of the main page and submit your email address.
Great to be here! Great to see fine, law abiding American people here who also are taking the initiative and upholding their patriotic duty by taking charge of our civil duties; both to our families and friends and neighbors alike. I find it to be our personal, civil, and moral responsibility to unite and properly prepare for those unforseen and unfortunate events should they occur in and around our cherished communities (God forbid).
It is our inherent right and our sole charge in life to unify in times of hardship beforehand; being well versed and prepared to care for one another and our neighbors in times of need thereby minimizing the liability to our governmental departments whose own efforts for aid and rescue would otherwise be greater in terms of sheer volume for the sake of our own neglect in NOT having the foresight of being proactive. Such as this very idea of preparing and unifying for the sake of minimizing risk and maximizing survival for our participating communities is what I thoroughly believe is what being a true humanitarian and fellow neighbor in love and compassion for one another is all about! God bless ~
Good job ADMIN on explaining how to get around this site…. but alas some folks are still lost. Not much more one can do….
Survival of the fittest and Darwin had some real good pointa along those lines
Newbie to this site also.Love it,get a lot of useful info.We have several skills to offer,and have been preparing for awhile.Like many others,we have been leary of posting too much any site.Seems that when we have talked to friends or neighbors they think we’re nutty.
Just remember that the prepper forum is for chatter, the main site for posting ads – and you’ll get along fine. My moderator gets cranky and deletes chatter on the main site.
Hello all. I am a lone prepper from SW Michigan. I have no support from family and friends. Most think I am being a ‘Debbie Downer’ and those who dont say, ‘yep, we should do that’, then are calling me for food or money help every month. I am so glad to have found this site and hope to join up with some people in the same boat as me.
My family and I have been preparing a 160 acre remote piece of property in New Mexico for five years. We have an extremely large hunting lodge with commercial features. We have established multiple wells and energy sources. Our food systems are more than adequate. Our defensive abilities are extensive.
Our shortfall is threefold. #1. Individuals with a high degree of Automotive, general mechanical, Carpentry, electrical and plumbing repair.
#2. Individuals with advanced Communication skills and have there own equipment. Knowledge of electronic security. Advanced computer abilities.
#3. Our security requirements will require an increasing number of personnel. The ability to bring 24 hr. security has made us aware of our need to add a significant number of well armed individuals.
#4. Personnel with advanced medical training.
It is obvious to us that in order to move forward with adding new families, it would take some time to determine compatibility. It is my hope that this forum will initiate that opportunity.
Hello, I am new to this site and new to the world of preparing. I live in Sherburne County, MN, and not the city of Sherburne, MN. I am a widow with two teenage children and a large dog, seeking to meet other in my area that would like to develop a group or become part of an established group of prepares.
Thank you!
Hey everyone, I am new to this site and me and my family have been prepping now for about a year. Help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I am a certified mechanic and auto electrical tech. I have been running my automotive repair and sales business for 30 years now. Looking to simplify and get back to the basics of life. If any of you have made the same decision, I would love to hear from you. I am a true “Tennessee Hillbilly”, born and raised in the Cumberland mountains. My grandpa was a moonshiner, farmer, and a sniper in the military. He taught me many things, some of which I am sorry to say I have forgotten. Trying to get back to my roots. We are looking to start our own self reliant community, before it hits the fan. No racist remarks please, as i am part cherokee, irish, and scottish. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for putting up this site. It is nice to know there are others out there that are trying to think ahead for any scenario. I look forward to finding my place in the collective and learning what I can.
Greetings all,
Thanks for hosting the site. I just found you tonight and did not hesitate signing up to find other like minded people in my area. I have not yet signed up for the news letter but will sign up. In reading how the sight was set up out of the box, I dont know what lattitude you have for adding other buttons and such, but you may want to post a Pay-Pal link so people that appreciate the site can do so somewhat easily. If contributing is difficult… the money wont come. just an idea, take it or leave it.
I look forward to checking out the site further in coming days
Thank you
Joe
There is a PayPal button, it’s on the top left hand side of the main page.
Hi everyone, I just found this site. I’m from Long Island, NY. All my friends thinks I’m a little nutty with all my preppering. I don’t think Long Island is the place I want to be and have been searching real estate sites for years trying to find a little 5 acre + swatch of land in the New England area to put a container house or trailer or cabin. A place in a rural area. I figure there must be others like me looking for the same. Maybe someone has some search tips on how to find someplace? I think the time is getting short & I need to find someplace soon.
WOW!! “Big Ed’ it sounds like you and I are at the same place right now!! I am looked at like I’m a little crazy and have been checking out the ham radios for a few weeks. Have been interested in getting into it for years but have decided to act. My name is even Ed!! (T-Bone is my dog not my nick-name)
I am a “Newbie” once again, as I forgot to read the “Do’s and Don’ts” of this site.
I would like to chew the fat with somebody from So. IL. by STL, if possible.
Thanks for letting me speak my piece.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
