Survivalist Singles?

Could always find a Mormon (preppers and all) and become the 17th wife? Joke, joke. It is an interesting topic since I wonder if I were to lose my wife or vise versa how we would find someone who thinks like we do. I guess prepping goes for relationships as well.

Hahahahahaaa....ummmmmm.....no. If anything I'd want to be the first wife. That's how I roll.

I guess it's not that interesting a subject. Seems like there's nothing but crickets in this thread, lol. It's something I think about a lot. It kind of freaks me out thinking about what I might have to go alone when shtf, and there's no way I could be with someone who isn't on the same page in this area. Those of you who are preppers and your spouse, partner, whoever is on board, you're very lucky.

I locked her in the basement until she said she was on board. Luck had nothing to do with it. 😉

Now why didn't I think of that? 😆

Clearly I've been going about this the wrong way. I need to get me a basement.....

BCPrepGirl, you look like a nice catch! (Found your profile, ha, ha...)

The problem with those internet sites is you get a really high % of low lifes, at least with the men. I'd be cautious of believing everything you read in profiles on there. Also half the time, the website owners themselves are scammers and will make fake contacts with people (make a really nice looking fake profile that you can't see/talk to until you pay $$$ - common scam. not saying that's the case here, but just in general on the internet).

My recommendation: Meet people in person.

When you get your license (or even without?), visit the local gun range and talk to people. Trust me, a cute young girl asking a guy if he'd show her his rifle, not many would say no! 😆 🙄 Anyway this lets you "scope them out". If the guy is a doorknob you'll figure it out pretty quick, just say thanks for the demo and move on. If he's nice, down to earth, responsible, you could ask for a little more help. Ask them if you could try shooting a couple rounds, etc... Lots of the local ranges have regularly scheduled events you can attend, little matches/competitions/less formal clubs. Go check them out.

You can always head out to your local ham radio club for the geekier selection of guys. :geek: Ha, ha... sorry its true. (I'm a geek so I can say that!) Again, tell them you're studying for your license but don't really know much yet and ask for a little help. Choose your tutor wisely. 😉

Then last idea, find a local hiking/camping group (try searching Meetup.com). Lots of those meetup groups have regularly scheduled hikes/camp outs. Try to find one that fits your kind of lifestyle, kids/family compatible and head out for a hike! (There is a wide array of groups from low key walking the trails with strollers type groups all the way up to groups of mountaineers summiting local peeks, you can choose what suites you).

Sorry I'm taken. Ha, ha. 😎 (So presumptious, eh?)

Hey Elrond don't apologies. That is what this site is all about; people helping people. Actually I should have said preppers helping preppers.

As a girl who was a prepper before she knew that the lifestyle had a word, make a list of what you are looking for, write it out, what you want and what you don't want, go in Knowing the deal breakers, it will help you alot to know what really are looking for and what you can give to a relationship.

Then as for the prepper thing, I agree about the gun club, but also look into the local farm sale/auctions/local coffee shops/church suppers, make friends with the older grandpa types, they will love a old fashion gal that will want to pick their heads about the old ways and most important, they will know the younger, single bucks that also came looking for that knowledge, that came and politely and respectfully asked to be taught, to have that knowledged passed down and they will do the sorting and intros and you can go from there..

Just my two cents for how I meet some amazing great guys in my life, some became life long friends, some ended up marrying some of my girlfriends and I dated a few myself as well 🙂 The point however is that it was a great! way to meet folks walking that path..

Ok, I had to check out the sight... 😎

I would agree that many sites are full of scuzzy men looking for quick pick-ups but I also have a few friends who eventually worked their way through the scum to find the love of their life. One is actually flying to Ottawa tomorrow to get married this weekend.

Just be careful and use 'common sense' when meeting them, nothing your friends haven't already told you I'm sure.

Goodluck.
