I am extremely underwhelmed with all of my immediate families mindset when it comes to being even somewhat prepared. 

Several of my closer friends have the mindset but take very little action to further become prepared for the unknown. 

I look around & realize that the average American is not ready to deal with any loss of critical infrastructure.

With all of that said...I am curious as to everyones thoughts on being in a group of like minded individuals versus going at it alone.

What advantages/disadvantages could you see either way?

Feel free to message me anything that you don't want to post.  Thanks in advance.

Don't worry, in times of need the govt will take care of you.

We've gotten too used to our lives without having to think about that.  Back in the snowstorm of Oct. 1997 we were without electricity on the acreage for 8 days, having to haul water for livestock, going elsewhere for laundry and showers not to mention having additional buckets of water for flushing toilets and having 3 kids at home and a full time job.  It puts you in a really dark mood (no pun intended) We tend to get complacent, I know I am to a certain degree.

 most dont advertise they are preppers,   all you would hear is," when **** happens im coming to your house"

  have looked into several groups. to many focus only on weapons, cause thats the fun part .

    and they are some pretty strange people in groups.   Id say start your own with friends who are serious.

I've had this exact conversation with a coworker. People just make a mental note of who is preparing so they don't have to.
