And thank you for reading & responding to this in a thoughtful manner. All comments are welcome, but please remember that there maybe those who may be reading this that are not real friendly to us or our causes. So please use the OPSEC Rule. Speak of only generalities & nothing of your very specifics plans or preps or gear.
Pinging the Prepper List
Please add me to your ping list! Thanks.
Also - I have am looking for some general info - my daughter and son in law live in a very rural (yes - there are some areas still!) section of central New York State. It is also great hunting - deer, turkey, etc.
They have a a roughly 20 acre section of land that they want to sell off that would be perfect for preppers.
Does anyone have any info/advice as to where they might list the property where preppers looking for land would see it?
May I gently suggest, inserting an indentation or double return space for each paragraph would make reading much easier.
“So a lot of the information that is being sent out is saying the Ozarks of Missouri & Arkansas, or maybe the Appalachians.”
We decided on the Appalachians. And I’m so glad I did!
Although it is hard to find anything here in the east that is very rural - even far from city centers and in what you would think is in the middle of nowhere, there are houses. I guess that comes from being civilized for centuries, vs out west.
Careful now, river towns along the Mississippi tend to show up very blue on the electoral maps, for reasons that date back to the steamboat era. There are rural areas that are okay, but do your homework.
where is there property?....I’m originally from NYS and going there in July...and, how much...
It may still be an option to hit Sports Authority closing sales for gear.
Thank you for the post.
Every prepper needs to know how to be expedient. In our nuclear world, with power plants at risk, and the various weapons and devices out there, things could go sideways very quickly for a lot of reasons.
One of the very best references for how to survive a nuclear event with materials commonly available is the book by Cresson Kearny: “Nuclear War Survival Skills.” This MUST be in every prepper’s library.

While equipment to survive is minimal, it requires knowledge and skills. This book provides it. If you do not have a copy. Get one now. It is reasonably priced. I think someone told us on a previous thread some time ago that it can even be downloaded free. That may or may not still be the case.

Joel Skousen has a book written with information and ratings about our country’s states with respect to safety, and gives a lot of knowledge about how to choose a place to go if you are wishing to relocate. He has also written about house construction for your relocation in another book. Both books can be reviewed here:

Yessssssssssssssssssssss!
It is in Otsego County and it is about 20 acres. They are asking $99,000.00 or thereabouts.
It has a hunter type cabin on it that does have electricity and well, septic, etc.
Bugging means you had better have some place to go.
“Bugging out”? To WHERE??
When 'the balloon goes up", you have to make a decision to either stay where you are , or to go elsewhere.
It all depends on variables and your flexibility and ability to re-act in a timely manner.
If you have no where to go, fortify where you are (food, water, etc.)
If you decide to go elsewhere, you have a day to a day +1/2 to go and get there; after that,even the stupefied will have figured it out and accepted reality, and react.
If you are traveling, make sure you have enough fuel to get to where you are going; if you have only a half tank, make sure you can either make it, or enough to go back home.
I for one AVOID anything to do with people like alex jones or others who are pushing any sort of an agenda/s. I have met mr. jones & found him to be a hate filled little man with a very large “little man” syndrome. He finds issue with everything that does not have his name connected with it. I also have the same type of issue with mr. eib him self...rush..
There are a lot of very worth while books out there that are filled with very useful info without the political preaching. I have in my personal reference library, military operations manuals, books on blacksmithing, air gunning, fishing tips, hunting tips, gardening info, electrical building manuals,medical treatment books ect....[Due to all my head injuries, I have forgotten a lot of information, so I keep a large library at my fingertips, to fall back on when I need them.]
But this is just my personal position on such people.
Not in the rural part of the states outside of the urban centers. But your point is well taken though.
I have a couple of these, as well as FRS, & CB for back up comm. The idea is to be flexible in everything.
There’s a book I found called “The Knowledge” that looks very useful. It doesn’t have many blueprints, but it gives enough understanding of the basics of how things work, that it could take a small group of people from the stone age to the mid-1940s level of technology, within a single generation.
I found it fascinating enough to read for fun.
Be sure you’re on high ground. Close to the Mississippi says flood zone to me.
