I’ve picked up bits and pieces elsewhere, but I realized it was time to get more serious and learn from people with real-world experience.

I’m based in Upstate NY, so I’m especially interested in prepping for colder climates and winter conditions.

I look forward to learning, applying, and hopefully contributing where I can over time.]]> 15 Fri, 13 Mar 2026 09:56:36 +0000 https://www.survivalmonkey.com/threads/first-post-here.73258/ https://www.survivalmonkey.com/threads/first-post-here.73258/ invalid@example.com (Lost Cabin) Lost Cabin

As the title suggests, I am stuck in one of "those states" in the Northeast.
I am originally from NYC, and am more grateful than ever now that I got the hell out some years ago. Admittedly, the neighboring state I moved to is in ideological agreement with NY, just not as radical.
I mainly want to discuss the political upheaval in our country right now, what I feel should be done about it, and firearms. I hope to...

I'm a semi-retired 55 year old chap with a comparatively laid back attitude to the business of being prepared for what happens tomorrow. My big quandary at the moment is whether to stay where I am for the rest of my life or move myself to somewhere where there's a little more space and the land is a bit cheaper... It probably won't take up much of my forum time!

Hopefully I can both glean information and provide a little here and there, I'm fond...

I'm a young adult woman from EU.

I'm interested in prepping with a doomsday orientation.

I am a sociologist who, besides being a (very) causal prepper myself, is really interested in prepping as a kind of social movement. I am fascinated by preppers, because you, more than pretty much anyone else, are acutely aware of the various cracks and vulnerabilities in the way our society is currently functioning, and are taking action based on this awareness. As a sociologist, this intrigues me greatly.

I am also very interested in how you see what comes after TEOTWAWKI. Here...

Located southern NSW in Australia. Not sure if I qualify as a survivalist as I don't believe society here is going to collapse anytime soon, but I have taken out some insurance for myself and my adult children.

That insurance is mainly a rural retreat, in a private location with good permanent water, decent soil, surrounded by larger farming properties or government reserve. 30 minutes from a small town with a wide range of...
