Hiya, been involved in some form of prepping all my life. I know a little and hope to learn a lot. Thanks for having me.

Why've you been preppin', man? What interests you in particular?

Are you rural, suburban, urban, hermit/monk in the wilds? The folk here run the gamut, but urban not-so-much. I guess we have people who have lived in cities, but have gotten out'a there.

Do you have an oppressive national or state government? Some folk here live under unfriendly governments, thus must work-around gov. restrictions on accessibility of survival means.

I'm a nosy old guy, but questions and info from you will help us out. If you live in a unique place or have had a bunch of experiences, then we sure do want to hear them. I sure do.

Our archives are full of information. I've benefited from reading/studying older posts. I've saved data from this site into my prepper files. This is why I bring up the topic of archives.

I've found that if I ask a question here on this site, there's almost always somebody who has been-there / done-that. Their responses add to everyone else's knowledge-base.

Welcome, howdy! and all that. Do share info you have learned over the years. We are living in crazy days, therefore knowledge is a treasure.

Good morning Pistachio the Wanderer,

Welcome to the Forum.

If you write up some specifics eg what type of preparedness you're working on, it will help.

Am curious, without intruding on your privacy, your areas of wandering.

Hey everyone I am in the US on the east coast. Our government has gone to crap both state and local, but its the US so maybe not too oppressive yet. I'm 3rd generation so my prepping started when I was a kid from my parents and grandma. I'm an Eagle Scout and have some survival training I received from the government. Worked for the power company when I was younger, which taught me alot about emergency preparedness and disaster response. My eventual goal is to be self sufficient, but I recognize the need for some sort of community. Im in an urban setting at st this time try to identify and recognize common threats to my area, but also places to find supplies should conventional methods be extinguished.
Also nice to meet you all.

 

welcome to the forum...

 

Welcome from Alaska! I am looking forward to your posts. You are in a highly charged area of the country. Avoid the crowds.

 

Welcome from Eastern Missouri. Good to have you with us.

Thank you all for the warm welcomes and hello to each of you. I'm excited to get to know each of you and learn.

To answer your questions Old Geezer. We did have some unrest here early on, but it seems that the local government was able to establish some sort of stronghold to keep them out. I've heard rumors that BLM was banned in one of the surrounding cities. That beijg said most of any unrest has been focused in our state's capital. Of course that doesn't negative the normal everyday violence that see.

I'd like to think I've made appropriate plans to get from this area should the need arise. Problem is people are gonna be funneled in their travels and with the amount of military we have here we may be ground zero anyways. That being said it's been my experience that there are alot of people with alot of cool gadgets that are gonna get themselves killed in a shtf situation. I guess it'll be about timing and what the situation is. I don't think at this point I'll be able to leave the city, I'm just hoping my friends and family out in the country value what I've done and what I can enough to open the gate should I come a running. Lol.

I do think we'll see it again here or atleadt tried, only because I ve I ue

 

Don't know what happened there lol. But I do believe everyone is gonna experience some form of it. To what degree or for how long I don't know, but I just feel it. I looks like it may get interesting soon

 

Howdy from East Texas. Like you, I am to a certain extent a second-generation survivalist/prepper. My Dad was big on being prepared for hard times or disasters. Plan ahead so that when something happens you can act instead of reacting.

 

Exactly and nice to meet you
