I am new to this as well. I have experience in carpentry, security and hunting but am looking to fill in the gaps in my knowledge. Sharing info with a group would be fantastic. Also in the Halifax area

Hello from Bridgewater Glockman1 and PadenFull! Welcome!!
My friend Holistic and I (we actually met on Freecycle last fall - pretty crazy, huh?), we are getting a group going here on the South Shore. There are 5 of us with 2 more who are interested, but we haven't met yet. We'd be happy to meet more like-minded people. Our next planned meeting is a pot luck on Friday February 22. If you are interested in coming down for an evening let me know and I'll give you the address.

Our ideas for the near future so far are making sawdust toiets, pressure canning, and work parties in the spring and summer to help each other out. We do like to just meet and gab at Timmies though 😀

I'm in Wolfville, a bit of a drive from Bridgewater, but I'm also just starting to look for others nearby to help share knowledge. I just got some land and have been slowly researching what to do. Like PadenFull, I find the zombie thing a fun way to communicate with friends - and actually a few friends here are getting more serious about general perparedness. Our current focus is food and energy security at home.

Anyone else around the valley interested in meeting? I'd be very happy to host. Or should we try to get together with Sue's group?

Cheers,
Melinda

Thank you all for the quick replies. Sue, would very much like to attend the pot luck.

I'm not sure I can make it yet, but I am definitely interested. Thank you for the offer. By the list of topics, you guys sound hardcore. I look forward to meeting and sharing ideas/knowledge.

Hello and welcome, PadenFull, Glockman and Melinder. Like Sue and Holistic down on the south shore, we have a few like minded friends up here more near the noth shore. We are having a Meet and Greet in Truro at the end of April.

Hopefully lots of us show up in april, be nice to put some faces with the voices so to speak.

Truro in April sounds devine 😀 LOL. Looking forward to it.

Well, Truro IS the hub town 🙂 Sue, would your group be interested in joining us there?

Hi, Melinder. Yes, we are going to try to get a few to carpool to attend the Truro meet in April.

Thank you all for the quick replies. Sue, would very much like to attend the pot luck.

Great, PadenFull! Can you receive PM's through the forum yet?

I'm not sure I can make it yet, but I am definitely interested. Thank you for the offer. By the list of topics, you guys sound hardcore. I look forward to meeting and sharing ideas/knowledge.

GM1, Holistic and I are just getting our group under way, and like everyone else here we are looking forward to meeting more preppers. Prepping mind set is a different way of thinking so it sure is nice to be able to have a coversation without getting eyeballs rolled at you. 🙂

You are correct. I find it is best left unsaid and to proceed secretively. The more people that know who aren't preppers, the more people who will be begging at your door because they didn't. Only preppers understand.

Hey everyone. Well, this is growing in leaps and bounds. I may need to find a place bigger than the coffee shop. Just a heads up if I am slow to reply, My internet is down at the moment so I can only check in when in town.
