Survival Sanctuary near Mt. St. Helens, SW Washington/NW Oregon

We are a little private Sanctuary in the foothills of Mt. St. Helens, east of Kelso, WA. House at 300′ elevation, 5 forested acres (alder, maple, cedar, fir, blackberries), directly adjacent to millions of acres of uninhabited forest land where we can freely roam (deer, elk, coyote, bear, cougar) We are edge-of-the-wilderness, not city, town, or farm-based, although we grow a large garden.

We prepare for nuclear war, (actual) disease plague (by self-isolation), climate disruption (although our weakness is forest fire), and general financial/commercial/political collapse (by self-sufficiency). We could make the challenging transition to complete self-sufficiency if necessary (gardening, hunting, fishing, herbal medicine, wood heat).

Current members include a mental-health therapist, a mechanical engineer, a medical pathology assistant, and an amateur gardener and technologist. We have many other skills among us. Several extended family members and their children would probably be our guests in a crisis, but it is hard to predict how many will recognize the crisis in time.

We are not necessarily looking for new members, but will always keep the door ajar (through this ad and local contacts) for 1 or 2 special persons who might come to us by mysterious ways, possibly at the last minute. You might find yourself drawn to us without really knowing why. You might have values that don’t fit in elsewhere. You might be a young couple who can’t get established during the chaos of a crisis. You might be a single parent and youth who need a new support base. You might be someone with special abilities who needs a new family. Or you might be something we just can’t predict, but it will feel right to both of us when me make contact.

In potential new people we look for maturity and good values, as opposed to specific skills. We like people who are open to learning and willing to share what they know. Emotional stability, intelligence, patience, respect, cooperation, and intuition are highly valued. We are allergic to control freaks, politicians, activists, chatter boxes, and the judgmental, impulsive, lazy, or defensive.

Politics and religion are light topics of conversation here, sometimes even jokes, but not ego-battles. We laugh and play when we can, but everyone, of any age, must be capable of grown-up behavior whenever it is needed. Good health and mobility, and strong immune systems, are important to survival. Drug dependencies, significant food allergies, and claustrophobia make survival difficult.

We don’t care how much money you do or don’t have. If you have some, good boots are a high priority. We might be able to facilitate transportation for new people, but a crisis can make getting here difficult or impossible from far away. The Sanctuary might be a residential situation for new members, or you might live close and come out one weekend a month to hike, play board games, help with projects, and share good food.

The Sanctuary is strictly private, not associated with any government, business, religion, or movement. We are a “family” as opposed to a “corporation” or “agency”. We will keep all communications confidential. Write to zimindrixli at the email service that is a cheer of success or discovery.

SW Washington-Clark County Area. Wife and I are looking for like minded people to get to know and possible meet up if things look good. We have been prepping for a while now and have pretty good skill sets all around. We are not experts at anything, but know a little about many things. We are a family and have local family as well. We have enough to take care of ourselves but would like to have a group at some point. Age is not as important as other things, but we are in our mid 40’s and 50’s with kids. My wife’s website will give some insight on what we are like, check it out before contacting us as I do not want to waste anyone’s time if there are basic differences. Thanks and hope to hear from people.   https://craftingcriptids.wixsite.com/website

This is a different kind of post and I hope it is okay.   We are west of Deer Park, WA, right now, in a rental house on shared acreage for the last 6-1/2 years.  Just Monday, out of the blue, our landlord says she needs this house for a family member and we have to be out by May 31.  Rental market is pretty slim overall right now, and when you throw in goats, poultry, dogs and cats into the mix, it is really slim pickings..  Right now, our thought is to just find some land to rent and put a shed and outfitter’s tent on it.  Ideally we would like to be very rural in Stevens, Pend Oreille or Ferry County in WA or Bonner or Boundary County in ID.  Husband is an RN and can get work just about anywhere, if it’s not commuting distance to his current job.  We have t-posts and fencing we would put up to corral the animals (we don’t even let our dogs roam free).  Water and electric would be nice, but off-grid is okay too as we have spent the last several years preparing as much as we can for off-grid living.  Please email at [email protected]

Openings at Survival Sanctuary near Mt. St. Helens, SW Washington/NW Oregon

We are a little private Sanctuary in the foothills of Mt. St. Helens, east of Kelso, WA. House at 300′ elevation, 5 forested acres (alder, maple, cedar, fir, blackberries), directly adjacent to millions of acres of uninhabited forest land where we can freely roam (deer, elk, coyote, bear, cougar) We are edge-of-the-wilderness based, not city, town, or farm-based, although we grow a large garden.

We plan to keep the Team small for many reasons, including that our fallout shelter only holds 6. We are prepared for nuclear war, (actual) disease plague (by self-isolation), climate disruption (although our weakness is forest fire), and general financial/commercial/political collapse (by self-sufficiency). We are also in fairly good shape for most Black Swans (earthquake, etc.) The Sanctuary is prepared to make the transition to complete self-sufficiency if necessary (gardening, hunting, fishing, herbal medicine).

Current members include a mental-health therapist, a mechanical engineer, a medical pathology assistant, and an amateur gardener and technologist. We have many other skills among us.

In new people, we are more interested in maturity and good values than any certain skills, but you must be fairly well educated (for your age), open to learning, and willing to teach what you know. Emotional stability, intelligence, patience, respect, cooperation, and intuition are highly valued. We are NOT interested in control freaks, politicians, activists, chatter boxes, or the judgmental, impulsive, lazy, or defensive.

Good health and mobility, and strong immune systems, are necessary. No drug dependencies (including recreational), significant food allergies, or claustrophobia. Politics and religion must be kept strictly personal. No costs (other than your own personal gear), but you must be able to get here (unless very close).

The Sanctuary may or may not be a residential situation for new members during normal times. For some members, it is a retreat location where we gather to explore, work, learn, and play. All members stay ready to dash to the Sanctuary if/when necessary. We have 2 openings, suitable for individuals, a couple, or parent and youth. We would only consider youth who are capable of grown-up behavior whenever it is needed.

The Sanctuary is strictly private, not associated with any government, business, movement, or religion. At all times we operate completely in “family” mode, never in “corporation” or “landlord-tenant” mode. We will keep all communications confidential.

We are a couple on Camano Island. Prepping for a few years now. We’re not extreme in any one direction and not prepping for a full TEOTWAWKI situation. Prepping for a likely SHTF situation – pandemic surge, earthquake, job loss, economic shortages, etc. Investing in food storage using a dehydrator and a freeze dryer so we can also actually use the food now in every day life too, backup water for a few months, and a few small items for trade if needed. No guns or bullets – we won’t take a life to protect anything. It’s cool if you do though, we respect anyone’s legal right to this but we just personally choose not to take part in prepping weapons. Interested in a Facebook or neighborhood group to share ideas and plans.

Looking for people who want to get a group together in north eastern Washington. Interested in those who have supplies but more about skill sets. As far as me I have a strong military background in combat arms, mechanical, medical,  built my own cabin, own my property with good soil and water. I would like to find  subject matter experts in gardening, medical, fabrication and mechanical, foraging, and hunting and fishing but open to others. I am not religious but respect those that are, not looking to start a cult or militia hahahaha. Just good people living free…..

Hello, we are a married couple (both 52 yo) who have been prepping for the last 8 years.  We have good supplies of beans/bullets/bandages and many survival skills between the two of us – medical, self defense, tactical ops, food growth and preservation, small livestock handling, among others.  Although kind of rural, we are not in the best location right now, in a rental on a shared property, not nearly far enough from the hoards to feel that we can handle what we think is soon in coming.  We also know that we cannot survive alone, we need a group of like-minded people.  Would love to be back in North Idaho, but currently are in NorthEast Washington, so a group in either area would be great.  We have no financial resources for a “buy-in”, just our preps, our skills, good work ethic, and a strong belief in freedom from tyranny.  We are not “religious” but definitely believe in God’s Word about what will happen in the end times (no pre-trib beliefs here).  A vetting process from both sides is a must, but we need to get started sooner as there may not be much of a later…

Greetings,
It is odd to me that this site does not have nearly the life and activity it once had, Considering the precarious times we are currently living in. Perhaps their is better places in which I am not privy to.           Regardless 
I am a Red Blooded, God fearing, American Man. A widower, Lower mid 40s and father to adult children who save my Father in Heaven, My children are my greatest love and deepest joy.
I own a small piece of very rural land and have lived an off grid lifestyle for a number of years. I have raised some animals lived off of solar and a small hydro electric system, and hunted for food never sport. grown vegetables,
Fact of the matter is I can not stay awake 24/7 and care very little for the lone wolf idea. I am willing to join a group I can go where ever needs be. I have nothing holding me to this spot as beautiful as it is,
I have everything I need all of my own long term food in bulk, more than most less than supper preppers. or to make this shorter I have the things preppers should have. I need one commodity only where ever i land and that is water.
If your group has security teams or personal I hope and pray it does. I am willing to pass any test you have be it solo tactical Pistol or Rifle or fire teams tactical courses. no matter if it is outdoor obstacle course or indoor shooting house,  Note I will only do live fire exercises or fire team drills with those i have seen have the ability and skillsets to do so as i would not expect anyone to do with me until proven.
If their are any interested contact me at [email protected].
