We have 12 acres of pasture land/woods with deep well and acre pond looking for others to discuss originating a group or joining a group in Stanly County NC. We are former members of a group in NC that we felt was too far away to be practical. Needless to say we have stores of supplies and would ask that others have or start collecting same. We are committed Christians and seek other followers.
I found land for my family and friends and currently getting it set up. NOT looking for others to move in. Just reaching out to see if there are other like-minded CHRISTIANS near me to add another layer of security (numbers). Must have a firm foundation in their faith/relationship with Christ, and have something to bring to the table (survival knowledge, carpentry, mech. skills, farming, self defence, beans and bullets, etc.) If SHTF then it’s good to have help, good to have separate locations to go, STRENGTH IN NUMBERS)
“And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12
What I bring to the table: Born-again Christian, Combat Vet, JOAT, etc. (more info provided if you PM me.)
God bless all who this reaches, and for those who this applies to… look forward to see what God has in store.
I’m gonna get right to the point. I’ve been researching and collecting evidence for years, and now, the evidence points to the coming times. Its not WAR thats going to be our problem folks. All you have to do is go outside and look up to see what our problem is. Our government is covering it up right now! everyday! I’ve always been a huge skeptic and driven to prove things no matter true or false. This… this has proven to be true, and we are running out of time. I have tons of evidence, videos, pictures, you name it! and these ABOVE ground survival groups are gonna be your coffin! We need to get a underground system started and needs to be started yesterday. We really don’t have time, but there is no choice. If we’re lucky we have a max of 1 year from now. ANYONE who has a brain and not a complete nut job feel free to PM me I’m in Statesville, but we’re looking to create this underground system in Granite Falls.
Hopefully people are still coming here.
May god be with you all.
Tom.
Hello, I am an Engineer looking to move to an intentional community. I am in good financial position and have been trying to be prepared.
I have training and experience in Solar, Aquaponics, Permaculture, RV Repair, Communications, and IT. But it’s time to get out of Babylon and live with like minded Christians. If you know of a community or can provide advise, please PM me at jkote.

I am looking for a solid group with room for a new husband & wife team. I have retired from the US Army and have an additional 10 years of security/LEO experience. Skills are many but include construction (framing, drywall, electrical, plumbing painting), basic 1st aid, basic knowledge of solar systems and electrical generation. septic systems and more. We have been active for several years and are fairly well prepared. We would like to join with others in a group for the added support and security.

Seeking to form—Small Christ centered conservative preparedness group of like minded individuals / families.
We are seeking only 3-5 couples or families to join together ahead of time to prepare a small group and land before a collapse.
The type of people / families that we would like to find can be from anywhere in the USA and be willing to move in the next year to begin to build the retreat. All must be firm Christians with a solid scriptural foundation and like minded to some degree. As families begin to join one another then bylaws will be created with all adults working together to form a Christ centered and constitutional view. In other words we are all equals in this. Very specific requirements for supplies of food, gear, seeds, and essentials will be made. A higher goal than most of 3-5 years of the above would be on my list for all to obtain. 1 year as an initial in order to be considered. Must be living a life free of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and {sin to the best of your ability}. My goal here is not to be a lord / ruler, but to be a band of brothers helping each other and being more of a small tight knit family. All must be able to work together and not be the types that try to control and make everyone do what they see best. That may even be of utmost importance for success in this.
Currently we are shopping for 100+ acres of land in some strategic locations with the following characteristics- Mountainous or hill country area that is defensive. Region with mild winters. Land that is good for farming with surrounding population of people that farm. As low as possible of a population with no large cities anywhere nearby and away from smaller cities. Must have good quality year round water source on site. Away from major roads. Ect. With that said we do have some areas in mind but are also willing to work with others if they want to help with choosing the area with all that goes into such a strategy. When it comes to buying the land this could be done in different ways and it is something that we can work out. We are buying land anyways regardless if we find someone here unlike some who are looking for others to fund their mission of buying land or building a bunker ect. Most important skills for a collapse would be farming, defense / real military operator skills that only 10% of those in the military have, and emergency medical care (not your typical family doc stuff). Other important skills but lesser on the list would be JOAT’s, carpentry, electrical, communications, mechanical, and macgyver types who can rig anything from a pile of junk.
If what I have said here fits who you are and makes you want to know more please PM me.

Like the title says
I am reaching out to any like minded Preppers or Prepper Families in or around East Tennessee.
I am willing to email ideas back and forth to run scenarios by each other. Or meet you in a public place for a cold drink and just shoot the breeze for awhile and bounce ideas off of each other to try to keep you from making mistakes i may have already made or so you can help me to keep from making mistakes you may have already made and learned from. Cause it helps to learn from other peoples mistakes that cost time and money.
Here’s a little about me. I am located in the mountains of East Tennessee 30 minutes from North Carolina and Virginia. We live on a small acreage farm. Where we raise Chickens, Rabbits, Meat Goats and an occasional Hog. My wife is wanting to become a better gardener. My daughter is wanting to work on raising milk goats. We have trail horses. We work hard to prepare for bad situations and emergencies because I am sure trouble is coming and it is going to be bad.
I am an Eagle Scout and Ex-Army Infantry. Came home and served locally in the Tennessee Defense Force. I am a Community Service Minded individual but i won’t let my family be a victim. I am a licensed Tennessee Handgun Permit Instructor. A certified CERT “Community Emergency Response Team”Instructor. I used to be a decent mechanic before they computerized everything. I am a certified Glock Armorer. I am working to learn how to reload. I was certified in CPR and as a First Responder in Tennessee. Working to obtain my Ham License.
Feel free to contact me and we will see where it goes from there.
Take care, Keep your powder dry and Watch your Six.

The present facts of our current and emerging reality coupled with your gut-level intuition about what is getting ready to happen can no longer be ignored…we are heading for a major life-altering event. You’ve come to the unsettling conclusion that there are too many danger signals to deny. If you follow the prophecies of Nostradamus, 2017 looks to be the tumultuous year.
So, you have stored some food, ammo, and weapons; you read some books on gardening and basic medical care. But are you really ready? You can wait until you are facing fundamental societal change to determine how ready you are, but that is a decision that carries serious consequences if you aren’t.
Safety and Skills in Numbers
The wise choice would be to join a group that is serious about preparing for an event. We have been preparing for several years to shelter our membership and sustain our existence for many years afterward at a secluded and secured location with full-spectrum provisions for long-term sustainability.
For six years, we have prepared a safe-haven community of multiple family units located in central North Carolina for our membership from Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. We don’t live there–we just prepare it for the day we know we will have to occupy it. We are not sure what will take place or when but just like you, we can discern the signs of that inevitability. After all, it is not a matter of if; it is a matter of when.
Our 50-acre retreat has all of the needs necessary for long-term survival under any circumstances including:
Who We Are
Because our objective is to be self-sufficient when we have to occupy our retreat, we feel it is critical to store and prepare together rather than risk an isolated effort that cannot be defended when social order collapses. We all value the safety of our families above all else, which enables us to collaborate in preparing for that event.
I am a Vietnam Vet who served with an infantry unit as part of five years in the US Army, so I know what it takes to protect your habitation. I have also served as CEO of three successful companies in my career, so I know how to successfully organize people and projects.
We have organized a retreat community made up of hard-working and dedicated folks committed to preparing for an event. Many of our membership are former military, so we bring that self-discipline and spirit of camaraderie.
The retreat includes a small medical clinic as our membership includes medical personnel. We are prepared for many medical emergencies or situations.
In addition to the medical staff, our members also include several engineers, an attorney, an auto mechanic, retired Army infantryman, a competition shooter/fisherman, a seamstress, several correctional officers, and a certified aviation mechanic and assembler. We have formed teams to address security/weaponry, medical care, food production, food preparation, communications, construction, and energy. Each team has a team leader and organizational charter.
Our Leadership Team (all former military) sets executive policies and provides day-to-day operational decisions. Issues that involve long-term implications or significant allocation of resources or major policy changes are brought before the group for discussion and decisions. We do not run our organization like a commune or homeowners association—but more like a corporate or quasi-military organization.
If you are looking for a pure democracy with extended deliberations and a vote on everything while progress is measured at a snail’s pace… pass us by. If you are looking for a group to join that you can maintain a passive enrollment, store food with your “name on the list” for “when the balloon goes up”; we are not the group for you.
We are looking for team-oriented individuals that bring useful skills and positive “can do” attitudes to the table with committed families to actively participate in and further develop what we have achieved so far in the following areas:
Our motto is: Plan, Prepare, and Practice.
We hold monthly gatherings which are also Skills Development and Retreat Building Workshops one weekend every month. During a typical weekend, we conduct training sessions, defense simulations, and work projects.
Firearms and security training is part of every session, and members are encouraged to seek out individual firearms training as well. Most of our membership have also attended off-site weapons training, occasionally together. We have a 25-meter and 125-meter pistol and rifle range and provide training in basic handguns, rifle and shotgun use at every monthly Gathering with trained instructors.
Our onsite workshops include working on developing the retreat as well as developing our skill sets. Many of our members have attended homesteading skill and survival training programs at conferences to enhance skills.
In addition to a 360+ page operations manual to support our members, we have also developed a separate 200-page Retreat Activation & Security Protocol which has been reviewed and critiqued by several retired military officers and several security systems experts. We take our security seriously, so security is 24/7/365. After all, if you can’t defend it, it’s not yours.
Our Retreat
We have accommodation cabins, RV spaces, a medical clinic, a well-house with backup manual well pump, a 4-room bath house with showers and laundry facilities, community center, provisions storage area, commercial kitchen and communications center/operations room. We have a large amount of stored water, solar energy, propane supply, and wood as well. We have prepared for EMP with multiple precautions to include multi-layer nesting of all electronics within Faraday Cages.
To support our communications center, several of our members have Ham licenses. Our communications center will monitor radio traffic and stay connected with a network of other ham operators when the event occurs. We also have an internal switchboard system with a hard-wired phone system. As a precaution, we have duplicate equipment for everything—back-ups to back-ups.
We all share in the development of our community through working at every monthly Gathering. While we don’t occupy the retreat until an event has occurred, our members can use the property for R&R to enjoy hunting, fishing, relaxing as a large area surrounds us with plentiful game.
Our members rent space (RV space or cabins) at $250/month to pay for on-site caretaker/security personnel and utilities to man 24-7. We do have a one-time membership fee that is non-refundable.
We have cabins available as well as several RV space (RV has a full range of sewer, water, and power hook-ups). We are looking for capable and willing folks to help with physical requirements of post-event such as energy (solar, etc.) patrolling, gardening, wood gathering, hunting, etc.
There May Be A Place for You in Our Community
We are also seeking additional skills to add to our mix. No anti-government types, militants or racists. We are Constitutionalists and despite a major concern in how our government is run—we are pro-America. Prospective members go through a vetting process that includes email interviews, telephone interviews, face-to-face interviews, as well as background and criminal checks.
Although we are secular, we are principally Christian but will consider all religions (or non-religious types). We are not “Bible-thumpers, ” but we do have deep moral, spiritual and ethical beliefs. We often have Sunday Bible service, but attendance is optional. We review our mission, vision, and core values at every meeting and have a 12-page set of rules to govern behavior.
If you have been prepping for a while and want to affiliate with a well-organized, like-minded group in North Carolina, then ask for an application. We start with a phone call first to assess where you are in your prepping efforts.
The retreat is ready to be occupied by members at a moment’s notice. We keep the candle burning 24/7. You could be one of those able to flee the perils of the decline of social order for the security of a small well-trained, organized, and prepared community.
How important is your family’s welfare and security? What are their lives worth to you? Think about the advantages of a well-organized group when it comes to the safety and welfare of your loved ones when everything turns upside down. It is like owning an insurance policy you never want to be collected or that spare tire you keep in the trunk of your vehicle you never want to use.
If you want to see a video of our group, then go to YouTube and search for “Tranquility Ridge r2”. You should get a sense of our group from the video. We are serious folks and have a mission that is reviewed every meeting.
If your family’s security and welfare is critical to you and you live in North Carolina, Virginia or South Carolina, contact us today. Contact me via email: [email protected] to request an application and list of further requirements. We will arrange a phone call for more details and a discussion of your skill sets and readiness.
We are committed to preparing—are you?
