Welcome Recon 85....How close are you to the Ga. line? We are in region two, full time. At the Farmers Market nearby, we have met a lot of people with great skills. While we don't come out and say we prep, or ask them about it (O.P.E.C.). I am pretty certain many of them are very like minded. They didn't pick up all those skills, to make the items they are selling (or growing) over-night.
Have you read One Second After? The writer was from the Black Mountain area of N.C. and has written sequels.
Your military skills are very important; hope you have a family or a group, in which you can fully trust, when things turn.
You can look up different subjects on the forum, some going back years, if there are questions you have, or someone here may have answers to help you out, should the need arise.
