HOW ? because over the years we got of our arses and met each other and got to know each other so our families become closer. Yes its a slight risk but I think the benefits outweigh the risks.

As for others who we share forum communities with well i would always try to assist them if i could within reason,and providing we were past the risk of starvation bit of TSHTF I would hope we could try and help each other rebuild our lives whilst retaining our individual family units.

The problem in the Uk for many preppers wanting coops, groups, communes etc is the age old story of outright apathy, most people wont travel to meet others so friendships and trust does not flourish.

Groups aren't for me, chatting on the internet is not going to enable me to judge whether someone is suitable to work with. Meeting up once or twice a year for a natter at a RV in the local pub or event is slightly better but not by much, not enough for me to put my supplies and family at risk by linking up with them in the hope that they are good guys.

Unless I have known the person for years, through good times and bad, and they are fairly local to me, then all the talk of groups is imo just a nice idea but not practical, for me at least, it may be practical for others.

I have met quite a few preppers and survivalists over the years and enjoy meeting up and swapping ideas, viewing kit etc but I dont go to these meetups with a view to joining or starting a group, I became disillusioned with that idea many years ago
