We met once and that was great and I have been quiet but actively reading posts. We are getting ready to list our house in the Burbs and have our eye on a big acreage not far from here. I think it may be close to Dandypratt too. The place has a "HUGE" shop! I intend to use the shop to store my goodies, after I've "fortified" it a bit.
Reading about the potential for sustainable communities - I know at least one of you doesn't have enough land to plant and grow as much as you would like but your knowledge base on canning, dehydrating and engineering would be invaluable (Wookie). Dandypratt has homeschooling experience, land, agricultural knowledge and again canning, etc. You know one of us is a Chef and could make a Rhino's Ahole taste great! Dandy also has a wealth of dried food knowledge and some amazing recipies from the product she sells. I've yet to meet Duffman.
We have firearms and supplies (including medical), tools and other stuff. You guys do to.
Perhaps it is almost time for us to become a "family" - trust each other with info, catalogue and plan to "Bug out" to one location?
If we manage to get our land then I plan to build a house that has a rain water capture system and solar back up. So far this is all "subject to" but worth opening a thread for, no?
Would it be worth us meeting again but come with an "inventory list" that we trust to one member to maintain and update as needed? Are we ready to go this far? Will a SHTF event be too late?
PS:
Dandy - do you still need help with harvest? 😉
lets meet then whens a good time for you
duffmans always looking for a new friend
Preparedness is like a condom , I've rather have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it
Hey that's great news! Land is great! I've done as much as i can with my small patch of land, but it sure is hard to find storage for all the 'stuff'. We should have another meet up sometime.
Hope you get some bites on your place!
Are you looking north of Courtney?
North of Courtenay - you betcha! The place has a freakin' huge shop - plenty of storage but more importantly... plenty of room to put whatever we want on it. We haven't listed yet but word on the realtors grapevine is that there is someone interested already!
Wish us luck - if this pays off then we would be set up for life!
That's great! Hope all works out well for you guys.
I would like to meet other preppers in the valley.
