THE State of Idaho Thread (merged)

duke

Located here in the Pacific Northwest (northern Idaho), on a sixty acre ranch, we have been hard at work developing our vision. Here, my wife and I have, over time, gone to great lengths and expense to make it very well secured and equipped. Over time we have seen many folks storing food and gear but can not afford the big step towards owning an out of the way location with supportive infrastructures set up for a month, a year or more What we are still looking for are a few remaining qualified adult couples (five to six couples) of like mind and spirit, to hook up with our current group. We are not (survivalists) looking forward to hard times as much as good folks who are well prepared, creating relationships and working together to increase our collective ability to survive almost any disaster. We would prefer folks from the northwest region able to get here in reasonable time, in an event of an emergency. We are all preparing and pre-positioning, to join up at this ranch working together, only in the event of a local life threatening disaster of any sort. Not if some are personally just having hard economic times. If this is not for you, meaning the 98% of the readers out there, we do not intend on what we are doing to be a comparison issue or a put down... Good luck to all of you working hard at planning ahead....

About us, we all realize... that none of us alone, over any extended amount of time can safely sleep, prepare food, eat, bath, cut/split firewood, take care of the chores, relax and very importantly watch the perimeters... all at the same time. Therefore teaming up with additional folks (healthy, in good physical shape, vigorous and non smokers) with qualified eyes and hands would go a long way in successfully holding on to, what very few of us have actually worked so hard to set aside for such an event. We are personally able to operate on or off the power grid. Setting the example, my wife and I are able to survive for well over two years on what we have set up for ourselves. Everyone coming on board must be trainable concerning this location, be able to happily work together, operate within the normal rules/guidelines, hike the hills, maintain their watches (cold or hot), handle their firearms or fill in for another partners position. We... initially qualify folks by, what they have already acquired and accomplished, not by their intent or talk of future preparations. Your personal skills and training along with ours, will be very important and valuable to us all. Our group is growing with highly qualified and very well prepared couples. It appears that the average couples financial investments into all their current quality food, needed medicines, clothing, personal needs, weapons, ammo, technical gear, communications and so much more for a one full year minimum, has ranged between 20k to 40k and more. This group as a whole, will now be expecting others to have placed similar importance on their personal lives, by already preparing to like levels.

In turn, our growing group can provide a very secure and comfortable semi remote location to those couples we might still hook up with. If a couple is accepted by our group, they would then need to acquire a well equipped R.V. or any hard shelled unit, for their personal living quarters before showing up in case of an emergency. You can not just show up without your living quarters being secured. We have already created sites, under cover or in the open, unlimited water, power and outhouses to handle several. Aside from our personal home, we have a rustic guest home with several bedrooms. It is a great “fall back position” if, the weather becomes to severe to handle in your other personal quarters. We’ve also teamed up with some of our other secluded neighbors out here in various ways, doing much of the same thing, watching each others backs.
Remember, none of us know the hour/day of a potential need to fall back to a well known preplanned location. It might happen in the dead of winter.... are you ready? We are, however it might not ever occur and we are not preoccupied with hoping it will. Another reason for your R.V. vs a more permanent structure on our land. In all we still have room left for only the serious, ready to go couples who can cut it. Again, we focus on your preparations, not ones theories and speculations of the future. We will have to place a limit on families and their little children, no pets, just mainly mature couples. None of us wish to overthrow the government, challenge local authority, hate others outside their own race, (who knows who we will approve), have a doom and gloom mind set or are criminals. Just good American Citizens wishing to hook up with like kind, not expecting any real outside help, working together to survive a possible crisis well prepared and successfully. Please note that no one is forced to stay with us, nor are not a cult, a commune, a control group or anything strange. If interested, feel free to contact us and tell us about yourselves. Again...tell us about yourselves, we have already told you about us. Contact through this site or leave us a message.

Have made many laughable mistakes, and many not-so-laughable ones.

Now's the time to make them...while you still can laugh.
