Any preppers in the immediate Gainesville area?

I'm not much on being an organizer, but if a few of ya'll are willing to put some time and energy in to this, I will too. Flammenwerfer, this is your thread, so if you want to take the lead, it's yours.

Having said that, some ideas that come to mind to put it together are squaring away a date that suits most of those interested, a discussion of skills/gear you can demonstrate, what you're interested in learning. My suggestion is that it be kept basic for the first attempt so that it doesn't become overwhelming.

I have a buddy that is preparing to do some training on land navigation and does some martial arts training. I'll mention it to him.

Let's start with a Who's interested list:
So far:
Buckslayer30533
Snipershot
Kletzenklueffer
Flammenwerfer?
Brainchill

I wouldn't call myself a prepper .... more like an organized obsessive/compulsive .... but it's really the same thing then isn't it? Count me in.

 

[Snipershot]

I have knowledge with canning and farming .

 

[Flammenwerfer]

Take the lead Kletzenklueffer! I have extensive materials specific to this area to contribute

Well, I typed out a bunch of crapp and lost it, so short version is:

Let's discuss a time, place and subjects and see if we can pull this together.

some subjects that come to mind are:
food and storage of
shelter- temporary and semi-permanent
water, sourcing and purifying
communications- with others and receiving info (Ham, shortwave, etc.)
hunting/foraging
physical conditioning
community
a discussion of gear (what works and what doesn't)

We could start at the May 19 ODT meet and greet and go from there?
