Southwestern Oregon Preppers (SWOP) will be holding a Preparedness Workshop at 12 NOON, Saturday, July 23, 2022, at Edwards Roofing, 97856 Payne Road, Brookings, OR 97415.

This workshop is for the beginning prepper who doesn’t know where to begin and a refresher for the experienced prepper.

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. Join Southwestern Oregon Preppers on Facebook and/or meetup.com.

SWOP will be holding its monthly meeting at 12 NOON, Saturday, July 16, 2022 at Sturdivant Park, Hwy 42S, Coquille, OR

Southwestern Oregon Preppers (SWOP) will be holding its monthly meeting at 12 NOON, Saturday, July 16, 2022 at Sturdivant Park, Hwy 42S, Coquille, OR, 97423. Bring a chair.

The main topic is “What You Can Do Right Now”. With all the bad news, it is easy to feel lost or frustrated. Sometimes the obvious goes unseen. We will be discussing things you can do right now to prepare. Some of which don’t cost money.

SWOP meetings always start with a question and answer period before the main topic so all in attendance get a chance to participate.

This site has TWO useful areas. A forum (for discussion, opinions and chit-chat) and the main site (contacting or starting a group). You are currently on the main (contact) site.

Through banner ads and links the site gets fees from sales or display of banner ads. These earnings and any donations to the site keep preppergroups.com running.

Need moderator help? If you are having problems, email [email protected] or [email protected] — or both of us (we are in different hemispheres, so odds are one of us will be online).

THE MAIN SITE

is for posting contacts. This is where you are now. 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. (older posts are deleted in an effort to keep the information and contact details current – we found a lot of older posts were returning emails as user unknown)

This is NOT a singles site. There are other sites for that.
This is NOT a real estate site. If you own a business, don’t spam. You can talk to me about advertising here.
Don’t use the site to argue about religion, politics, race or sexuality. Preppers come from a broad spectrum of society — if you can’t deal with that, move on.

THE FORUM

is for posting opinions, reviews, news articles, buying & selling and questions. You can access it here. The forum requires a separate, additional registration from the main site. You can register for the forum here.

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.
