New Preppers

[robsdak]

well guys, i have been out recruiting and found an old/new friend that is looking to get into the lifestyle. might even make a small local group, if it goes well. i am trying to get her online to look at the site. she works nights and i have her laptop, it is having connection issues. going to see if we can't get that fixed for her.

but the recent talks i have had with her are promising.

Great news! Its hard to find others. Keep encouraging her.

Excellent, go slow, the worst thing we can do is plunge people in and load up their mastercard.

The second worst thing is to encourage them to cheap out on $10 multitools, jensen pistols, and out of date MREs.

Quality preps, one at a time, and keep adding. Not just gear, but quality training, books, etc

Good job Robsdak! I'm working on my second couple now also. He and his wife are close friends who live about 1/2 hour away. He came over again this morning and looked at some things and we then talked over coffee and then went shopping. I will be forwarding some links to him to look at including this site. What was funny is he said that we should put a group together or something. :)

:) Hope it works out well! All you can do is plant some seeds (ideas) and see what grows. :)

well here i am on her laptop. needed a little tweaking and some updates BAD!!! in a little bit i will make her a new bookmarks folder labeled ' prepping' and add her a few good sites. also plan to help her setup an account here.

she got a pretty good lesson in deer processing. 11 pm Sunday night she hit a doe on her way to work. called the SO and then me. i found it, SO shot it and i took it back to the store for her to see how gutting is done. cool thing about having a dumpster close, no mess. then the deer went to my house, hung and waited for her to get off work. she did really good for her first one. a couple of stray cuts, it all cooks the same. :) cool part about it was she offered 1/2 of it for helping her, i kept 1 backstrap and a rear leg. she has more to feed than me and besides, i know how to shoot them. LOL easier on the truck. very little damage to the car.

Good job. Found out recently my Bro and his wife started prepping about year and half ago ('bout the same time I started to get serious about it too). Too bad they're in NV but I did invite my SIL to come check us out.
