Missing Benders
This post is loosely based on a growing concern many of us Barfer's have...
So I thought I'd bring it up here and now. Forgive me if ,in fact this subject is redundant.
Concerning those of us still residing in SF proper.
*This is not an open call for pot shots to us in the Barf community. Questioning our reasons or choices to live in SF is not the agenda here*
It may be that, privately, some have a plan and strategy for an extended and severe SHTF scenario. I do not, obviously. I would be willing to open a forum for intelligent discussion and planning in this case.
So residing in an apartment in a congested city bookended by fault lines and massive bodies of water, not the best for surviving a SHTF event.
I do take our fate living in the Bay seriously. My PTSD from living in the Superdome in New Orleans during Katrina 2005 is acting up just writing this..
Anybody need a tutorial in bartering stolen cigarettes for Sat-Phone time from a BBC reporter, let me know.
And yes I did just see San Andreas in 3D last night so, there's that....
I would be very interested in pooling our strengths. To discover a safe property or land wherein a few of us who are interested/committed to accomplish the following:
Secure, however the means, a plot of land Southeast of SF. Avoiding any bridges. Planning a route would be done depending on Bug Out local.
To acquire/build a safe house or install Shipping Containers fit for living or at least storage at the BOL.
To store a protected stash of goods and equipment for an extended survival group situation. This can be done on the merits of the individual or bought in as a group, depending.
To set up Ham Radio repeaters in proximity of BOL.
To dig a well for fresh H2O or install filtration. BOL must be accessible to a source of fresh water.
To build or install protection against EMP event or attack.
To install a defensive perimeter to alert of incoming friends or wild game.
To outfit the camp with alternative energy sources.
To figure out long term foodstuffs. Farming,green housing, seed storage, Root cellars etc.
To establish an agreement of safety, cooperation and competency among the few of us who actually filter out and do this for real.
To share the cost now, of obtaining the real estate and building materials in anticipation of the SHTF event.
About me:
If any of this sounds reasonable then we should PM.
I'm still recovering from a gnarly T-Bone, back in November.
My Surgeon thinks I'll be walking soon, hence the post in anticipation.
I've got time to plan, search, communicate and set up a blueprint of the current idea. Got some budget to allocate to a GTFO plan.
I'd be wanting to hear from Barfers and friends of ours in the community willing to provide land or lease to build a safe location..
Anyone serious about getting our shit together PM only please..
