yeah but you seem to be talking non preppers, why would SHEEPLE want to join a prepper group? they wouldn't even be on this forum.
membership of the group will be by private invitation only.
Probably the two biggest things are with the internet you can be who you want and no body really knows who or what you really are. And it can take a lot of time for trust to be built up.
Yes we may be able to do some ground work on trust by personal meeting at present which may be of help post SHTF, if you survive, and there is no guarantee of that either you or me will survive. Post SHTF will be a totally new ball game. Those that survive will just have to play it as best they can.
I am reminded of the opening of the original TV Survivors series back in 1970's.
Greg did not want to be a leader, he had enough of that before, always having to make decisions. While Abby was looked upon as their leader but always asked Greg and I think wished he would take over the leadership.
All I am saying in what I posted is be aware, think things through and may be think the unthinkable.
Lastly to think of things now, even the unthinkable, while you are sitting in your comfy armchair will give you a head start if you are one of the survivors post SHTF because you then think to yourself, I thought about this before, these were the pros and cons that I saw then so I already have a fair idea now that it happened.
Never know you may end up being looked up to.
To follow on to Genesis - Hero of a Survivor, the follow on to Survivors, in books, Peter was a leader, they had people dying with stomach ache.
He remembered something from way back about boiling all water for drinking and washing of food and utensils. He issued his instructions and the problem stopped. The others looked up to him for he, at least appeared to know what to do.
So to say again, groups and more so community post SHTF will be a must but just be warned that they don't generally work out pre-SHTF.
Give it go if you feel that way but just be aware.
If you like its a bit like buyer beware.
Plus you never know you may just get one of those sheeple may realizes that the government will not be coming over the hill to save them and join this or some other group and may be become one of the survivors.
BTW What criteria were you thinking of for your 'private invitation only'?
And is the group going to be a democracy or dictatorship?
Just something else to consider.
