Looking for a group needing good people to join

[1scout]

Where are the real preppers at?
I have been looking for several years now for a group of people how actually know what is happening and can clearly see what is coming down the pike and are preparing for it.
I have looked in Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, and several other states and all I am able to find are people who are half stepping and not taking this seriously.
I come with everything I need to be self sustaining while at the same time able to contribute to the group as a whole. This includes my own housing materials, food supplies (this includes an excellent supply of seeds), medical supplies, tools and so on, which means I am not a burden or drain on other people, and given the right conditions I can produce as much as 80% of everything I need and have enough left over to trade for the 20% I cannot produce and even share with others who may need what I have.
I have no time for this hippie garbage of community because that attitude will allow others to take what you have because you will not be prepared to defend what you have.
I am not some kind of gung-ho crazy looking for a fight but I do want to be with people who will stand and defend what is theirs (this includes our country and our Constitution).
I am a hard core constitutionalists with a deeply profound love of country and would like very much to connect with and join with a group of like minded people who are truly preparing for a coming collapse and all that comes with it.
I am currently in Georgia but would consider other areas if there is some way to move my equipment and supplies (I do not drive so any move would require your assistance).
If you have the land and are interested in adding to your numbers an excellent asset with many skills you can contact me at dancingwithpoi(at)yahoo(dot)com.
I know the warnings of using personal email addresses and such but that is not a concern of mine. I would prefer direct contact which will save time and hassle.

Scout! The groups are out there. Being invited to join take time.  Let me give you some advise. Start by coming to meeting, campouts and other events that SEPN have. you will get to meet people and they will get to meet you. You mite meet the person or group tat you fit with.

PS what area of Georgia are you in?

[Ravenwood1950]

Welcome, lots of folks here have found members to buddy up with when the time comes but we like to get to know someone before we just say "Come on over".
As Farside said, join us for our Christmas luncheon on Dec 12th, come to our meetings. This group has been around for 5 years and many of the same folks are still here and have found new family among our members. Best wishes.

Also looking at a group camping trip / Appleseed Rifleman class in April.  You could meet a few of us and we never even know you.

i am in wilkes county between augusta and athens.
im not much of a meetings camp out social kind of guy sense those are not really my kind of thing and tend to require time that i dont have to spend. although i love camping and all that goes with it, just not with a bunch of people. when i go camping it is to get away from people not put myself in the middle of them.
i am already forced to live on the streets with everything sitting in a storage unit going to waste so i simply dont have the time to waste going to meetings and so on which again require time and money that i simply dont have.
i have already wasted 5 month going to these so called camp outs and such meeting people and have had 3 different people all say they wanted me to join with them but when it came time to make the move i was left hanging with no backup plan. this is how i ended up in this mess to begin with, by trying to do it the way you suggested and now i am in a crappy situation and desperately trying to find a solution.
i trusted these people and thus made arrangements to vacate where i was living by a specified date and when they abandoned the plan with no warning to me it left me committed to vacate with no where to go. i simply dont have time for any more games. i need a solution to this problem.
because of this i simply have no interest in wasting my time with more camp outs and meetings and such. been there - done that - it did not work - not trying to do it again.
i would prefer simply traveling to meet with the land owners and talking for a bit to see if we connect and are in the same head space.
we do not know how much time we have before all of what we have preparing for becomes a way of life and we are forced to go to that place, thus i simply do not wish nor do i have the desire to waste time with meetups and so forth. and if this collapse comes before i have found a place to go i will be forced to take what i can carry and destroy the rest. this would mean destroying 1000's of dollars worth of supplies and equipment. and believe me when i say i would rather destroy it all before i abandon it for someone else to profit from. im just that much of a jerk. i have put far to much time and money and effort into this to just let someone else come in and take it.
if however someone has land they want developed for a safe place to go, or have already begun to put into play the needed preparations and want someone with a lot to offer to come help them and be a part of the program, then i am more than willing to travel to meet them and discuss a joint effort where we all benefit.
as i said, i come with everything i need including my own shelter and solar setups, food and medical supplies and more so i am not a slacker and not a drain on others. i also am willing to invest my own money into developing the infrastructure needed to provide food for all those involved.
if there is anyone out there seriously looking for an ally and asset then please contact me and we can talk. safe the meetups for those who have the time and money for them.

welcome and all responses were spot on. It is great that you have resources but no prepper I know would invite you into their group without knowing you. That takes more that some forum chats and even a meeting. Takes time and even then you may find personalities do not mesh. Lets face it, you are going to live with these folks. Caution all around is best.

Hope we all get to meet you at some point.

[stvr]

Scout, Not quite sure where you have been or who you have been with in the past. What I do know is the posts from Farside and FL44 are spot on. There are many of us that have formed friendships and then more that started with a few posts and some time spent to get together and know each other. Anything worth having and or doing like this needs some effort and some time invested. If the chemistry is right once together the reaction will not take long. But you have to bring the pieces together.
So a question for you. If you had the land and maybe a friend or two already in place, with all the stuff needed to get a good start and you just read your posts. What would you do? Spend a hour or two over a cup of coffee and if you liked what your heard just open your arms and bring that person in? You the land owner may have a lot at stake, is it worth the risk?
I am not saying or implying anything negative next so please do not take offense at this next possible outcome. Lets say you do like what you hear and say heck yes come on in. So I do, and for the next few months I play the game and everyone thinks I am just great, what a find. Then crap hits the fan, and everyone shows up as planned. Except when you get there you find me and my friends there 1st. We thank you and send you on your way somewhere else.
Just something to think about from maybe the other side. Hope to see you post more and possible meet you at a get together soon.

Stvr is correct to offer this advice. A wise man or woman will take it in the spirit it is offered.

And not knowing us here perhaps you can see the other side of the coin without offense as well. Perhaps someone here really wants to take you up on your offer as the skills and materials you bring sound like just the thing their group needs to take it to the next level. So you meet then you load the truck and haul your preps there and set up. Then over time you realize these folks are nuts and you want out. And forgive me but your post seems to relay you are a bit more transient than others so your address can be very flexible quickly. You decide to bail on a Tuesday when you know the group will not be back till Friday. They show up to find you gone lock stock and barrel and that you have taken along with you perhaps in error, perhaps not as we do not know you Bubba's ammo stockpile or stock of canned peas.  Well they have no way to track you down and lesson learned.

Most of these folks have known each other for over 5 years, myself closer to 3 and change and even then forming groups does not always work out but we still try, grow and learn. It takes time whether we have it or not as our family's future is at stake. Moral of story is do not expect us here to just jump to the opportunity you offer. We will want to vet you and through a group experience at first. No offense is intended just being cautious.

i gave up my home here in georgia to go to ky to help create a damn place where people could come to in the case of a collapse and in turn got screwed out of nearly half of what i had. i did not give up but instead found someone else who wanted a small farm kind of thing so i went and helped them create it. as we neared the end of the project i began looking for something permanent and found 3 different times people who claimed to want to create a place where people could come to in the case of a collapse and all 3 times got it jammed up my ass and because i was already committed to leave by a specified date i was committed to vacate the place in ky where i was living. what part of this did you miss? did you not read what i stated which explained how this all happened? i am not transient as you call it by choice. this was forced on me because people committed to something then backed out with no warning which left me in this situation. i lost a 27' 5th wheel camper which was my home because i had no way to move it because these people failed to follow through. i do not drive nor do i own a vehicle so there is no way i could move my supplies let alone someone elses. it is apparent i am wasting my time here so i will bid you all farewell and hope you never find yourself in a similar situation and no one willing to step up. dont bother responding because i will not be returning which means i will not see anything you post.

[florida44]

Wow, well best of luck to you.

[low_n_slow]

[florida44]

can you expound on that there Low n slow? 

[Lilburner]

I'm assuming the cheese is to go with the whine.

I held back a bit to not be overly critical... If you can't say anything nice and all.

But if you keep making life altering, major financial commitments with random strangers and keep getting screwed, maybe there's a pattern you can learn from.

[bountyhunter]

I think I might know who this individual may be.......he tried to get into my other group as well.....
