North Idaho region....

Hi, to this site and the Northern Idaho.

We have visited many sites over time and found the vast majority of posters are content to talk about what might happen...but have honestly done little to prepare. A matter of choice.

Just getting together about one years worth of food, meds, clothing, hygiene stuff and all the rest is a daunting task in itself. Then to add on to that having a safe location which will afford you and yours the needed things like enough water for that year, sanitation, heat, shelter and safety is even a greater challenge.

Most Americans live totally or in part depending on public utilities. What would you do if/when the grid goes down for months or much more, no pressurized water flows out of your tap, sewers back up as pumps stop working, toilets no longer flush, garbage piles up on the streets, desperate people start roaming around your yard/property? Just some thoughts. It would be a little late to try and locate a safer place by then.

Well some of us here in North Idaho have thought all that through. We feel this site would do us all a great service by opening up a subject heading for people who truly expect to survive any disaster, by teaming up together ahead of time.

Now we are not talking about moving or changing jobs here, just communicating with others within a days drive of each other. Having the chance and a site to get to know each other and possibly leading to meeting up. Doing this now will go a long way to ensure safety later if needed. It is a safe means as all your postings filter through here.

Waiting until the siren goes off is just to late. Starting to build up your years supply now is probably to late for most. Stressful times do not lend to getting to know others, communications could well be down for a long long time.

For us, we sure don't need your stuff and only you know if you have done what it truly takes. We are searching for other like minded, fully prepared folks to share ideas and general plans with. Some of us might end up teaming up, others just be in a Ham Powered communications network.

This is a win/win situation which requires no relocations or life changes on anyones part. It only requires that you have completed your emergency survival list and need a safer location to fall back to or others to watch your back while you sleep.. In other words you are an asset...not a liability.

We are reaching out here and realize somewhere around 98% of bloggers fall way short in actually being 20% ready let alone 100%. We don't expect a great turn out from this posting based on that, if nothing else. But there could be those one or two families out there that this rings true to.

Some of us are set up and for that we are real happy for you. Good job!! Others lacking a safer location might think about all this...

The Planning for the Future forum is probably what you're looking for. It's the part of the site where people discuss how they will deal with such contingencies.
