I think it is as much about what you want from a meet or a relationship with someone as trust. Preparing - properly - living as close now to how you may live if TSHTF - is very time consuming - at least I find it is for me. When their is daylight, their are jobs to be done - looking after livestock, tending to land, cutting and chopping wood, repairs and maintenance etcetera. Leaves little time for much else, especially when you work.

I have come across a few people where I would see them as back up and they would me - conversations usually start from some mutual interest around things prepping related - beat up pick ups, do you have bother getting wood for your stove, do you grow enough potatoes so you do not have to buy any etcetera.

That way, you can see people are into stuff. On the net, a prepper might jsut be some dude with 48 cans of beans, a cuboard full of pot noodles and lots of knives - not saying that that is or is not a prepper, but for me, those people that incorporate the skills they will rely on should TSHTF into their day to day lives now are the ones I would rather spend time with if we had reason to do so.

I live over the back from you, dont mind meeting up so long as their is something doing. You can help me pull wood out of the Tyne and the Wear and be my man with a phone should I do some accidental face surgery with my Stihl. I will even lend you a maul so you can split the wood.
