UPDATE 07/10/09

Due to being overwhelmed with Appleseed and INGO Moderating, I have neglected the MSG activities. Thankfully, longbow has stepped forward to take over and start making things happen again. My thanks to him and I look forward to seeing more picnics, shoots, and training sessions. Thanks to everyone!

And most thanks to longbow!

I think EVERYONE could use some first aid training. never hurts.
How about perhaps some training on trapping animals?
Building primative shelters out of things found in wood rather than brought in.

Let me think on it a bit and i will get back to you with more ideas.

My weak area in a SHTF situation would be electricity. Anyone who understands how to set up solar charging with inverters and stuff would be interesting to me. I bring to the table a fair amount of knowledge about food preservation (dehydrating, canning) as well as being a "jack of all trades". I just never was into electricity.

One thing that use to work. One weekend, turn off the main on your breaker box and see how you do. Turn it off Friday evening and not turn it on again until Sunday evening. See how it really is if you lose electric for a weekend.

I wouldnt mind getting involved in this but my time may be limited to requirements i must fulfill to Uncle Sam. I'm Jackson County, Area 3 but close to Area 4 as well.

I remember we lost power down here for a week due to the floods last year. All i did is sit on the porch smoke cigarettes and drink moonshine with my 1911 close. Should have been born 200 years ago.

Still looking to see if anyone is interested up in Hamilton county on getting together to have a starting point. Let me know if your interested.

 

[longbow]

Pick a place to meet up in your area. That is the best way to start it off.

I would like to get some map and compass work done. I know we live in timelessness of GPS but if SHTF then I think the satellites will be offline to consumer use. Map and compass is really the way to go.

I had heard that down by Morgan Monroe there is a Map and Compass practice course. Anyone know about this?

 

[indysafe317]

I would love to do some compass work myself. Would like to hear about the compass course myself

The electricity issue is why I do more dehydrating and canning than freezing. I have a generator on my RV, that will work in an emergency, but that wont be a good long term fix. The wind generator sounds cool, but I'm not any good with electricity.

MSG 3 and others nearby, is it time for a BBQ and function check for your weapons? I have some ideas, and need your feedback...Summer is going fast and school starts in about a month.

Nothing formal, just food, conversation and some 100 yard shooting. The site is just west of bloomington and its very easy to find.

I will, I have a meetup page on preparedness and msg's. I'm looking to have 10 people interested, then I was going to schedule an initial meeting. Hopefully, I'll have something set up soon. I'm shooting for sometime in the next month or so and then some regular meetings.

I'm in Madison county, but Hamilton isn't too far of a drive, and I'd be more than willing to come down for something.

 

[indysafe317]

I'll let you know shortly of the plans.
