good point kitty..make a will for the one or two person(s) you trust the most to inherit the property.and make it completly clear in the will that the person(s) in queston has to keep the intire amount of property,and not sell/rent any of it.and continue to allow the ppl already liveing there,gets to keep liveing there as is as long as they live by the set of rules/laws..yeah it can be costly building or moveing a home..and there will be diffrences.but thats so true in every day life aready.and you pointed about jobs in a post.live close enough to a city where it's not to far to drive each way.for example only,no more then 20-30 miles each way if that far.and hopefully have a good reliable and dependable vehicle to drive..

Clear that with your heirs first. They could fight something like that in court or cause very hard feeling among them.

The other alternative is for the people to live there in RVs or those modular movable, or towable homes. Not everyone would want to go that route though. It could still be a real hardship if they had barns and livestock and gardens, and had to move. Jobs would be important for those not yet retired. They would need an income until TSHTF. I would think about those with children. As you know, they can be a blessing or a curse. One problem child in the group and you're in for serious problems as the group agrees and/or disagrees with each other over how to handle it. That's why so many places in FL are for people of 55 and over. Something similar can be said for pets. You have a lot to think about and if you're really serious, may want to discuss this with a lawyer before you take the next step.

:confused:v heirs?lol thats true.that could be a problem there.rv's is a good idea.that way they can live in them untill they and/or me decide one way or another..as for barns and livestock goes,im game on acount that could mean extra milk meat and all for the tableas ...far as jobs go..the land needs to be close enough to town to make a diffrence,and still be far enough out to be comfortable..the children will need schooling with no dubt.public schools or home schooling.as for as pets go..the ones that sounds a alarm and shuts up when instructed to.is a good idea..cause that means we're alertd of someone nd we take the needed actions
 
yea i seen that show also and when I lived in Indiana which is were they are I visited and for the cost im not interested but im thinking more like a campground style set up cabins and small villige type set up more like the town in the movie trimmers small self suficiant off grid town

I believe that could be a great idea and a good set up as well. You just would need to control who leased or purchased each parcel of land or cabin etc and make sure each person has a skill set to offer the community, like a doctor, construction people, security/military a d so on. If you do it like that with clear understanding that you are in charge then you may have something good.
 
I have a large group of people I trust and they are all coming to me. I am King in this group and it is well understood. When SHTF heaven help anyone who isn't welcome.
 
'Trust' being the most prevalent word in prepping, I only trust my kids and wife, that's not to say I don't network but I do it at a distance. I don't get along with very many humans since I have a tendency to push a little to hard and cold so, no, I wouldn't invest with others (outside wife and kids) it wouldn't work out (guaranteed)
 
Maverick obviously " does not play well with others ". Me too most of the time.

Lisa been trying to change that for a good while... Though if one of the network groups gets into trouble (attacked etc..) I would help but as far as staying within a compound that would be a no, I'm the one staying outside the fortified walls, I'm in my element!
 
No, I couldn't do it...I'm not that trusting and my hubby most assuredly is not! I'm lucky he lets ME in the house! LOL...

But really...It'll be hubby and I. We do everything together now and we'll do everything together then...we don't work well with others...it has just been us for too long...we know when to help and when to stay out of the way (most of the time)!
 
Only way i'm doing that is with family and my closest of friends. If I dont know you, I dont trust you. Another reason I had to tell my wife to stop telling people we're preppers. I dont need the hassle of other families.

yeah..it dont pay to advertise such things.on acount it's way to easy for the wrong type of ppl to know and come around when they know you have food water and other things when shtf..and thats why i been keeping my mouth shut when it comes to the ppl i know around here.which means,only folks that know im prepping are here in this forum..

And even then, none of us know exactly who you are.
 
August 23-25. We're gonna have four different prepper weekends on the same day in four different regional sectors. You would go to the one closest to you or where you think you would have the most fun.
Look under the thread " east and west coast meet up".
 
It is being worked on, I think they are considering Pennsylvania somewhere. Alabaster is the one to answer those questions, however, I will be happy to pass on anything I find out as well.
 
I kinda envy you folks having these regional meets nobody but me n my boy here in Scotland regulars anyway . Hope you all have a fantastic time
