Seeking others who know a collapse is coming

[Hella Fax]

This concept of using land you already have, will hopefully get you a community going. Many people just
don't have the funds to invest in extra land besides where they are currently living and working.
It is also scary wondering if you buy land if you will loose all your investment money.
However people may be more willing to invest in such a community where the land is already
available and it is more their time , efforts, skills, knowledge, hard work,
and of course building supplies and other supplies are needed.

I wish you good fortune in this plan, and hope you keep us informed . It's always good to hear
other community plans and ideas.

Welcome to the forum

Thanks for the support and good wishes, Goldie. And I will definitely be keeping you informed.

The visiting of my place is something that won't be happening by anyone for some time, yet. I say this for the same reasons cernunnos5 wants to thoroughly vet people before he lets them know anything about what he's going on: the security of his location, and the people dependent on it. I'm definitely interested in meeting, and developing a relationship with one another, but before I make the commitment of letting someone know where my place is, I want to be completely convinced that sharing this information isn't done on a basis that may in turn pose me, the property, or the people I hope to be dependent on it for their food and security later, risk. This is absolutely impersonal, and I hope you will not take it personally. But I've had so many life-lessons from my own mistakes in placing various kinds of trust in others that, considering the deadly seriousness of the situation we're amidst, this is one instance I am unwilling to take even the slightest risk on.

That being said, I'd be happy to meet up. I'll actually be down your way on the weekend of the 27th/28th, and would be glad to meet up. Meantime, please send me a PM telling me some about yourself (and your friend?) and what's got you interested in prepping. I'll be glad to return the favor.

Great post Hella Fax. My eyes were opened when I read Jeremy Legget's The Empty Tank and Jeff Rubin's Why Your World Is About To Get A Whole Lot Smaller.

[cernunnos5]

Hay, LE. Great to have you back. I know how we all get really busy from summer till the first snow. What you been up to? Any interesting builds? I haven't read The Empty Tank but will look it up.

Hey Cern,

The Empty Tank was my "holy crap I didn't realize things were this bad," book. Jeff Rubin has written a sequel to his first book and it is also a good read.

As far as the summer goes...well, brighter days ahead.

Time was at a premium but I did manage to help the kids with a couple of youth group projects - a small animal grazing cage and a predator trap. Ribbon winning projects, yes, but I also explained to the kids that both were made to be used for years and they can and will produce food. The cage can be moved across the grass for rabbits or chickens to graze. The "live" predator trap will catch a raccoon or skunk. The predator can be taken away and released or in a starving time, it could be killed and eaten.

As my grandmother would say, "the hard times will come again."
