HOW DO SINGLE PREPPERS MEET WHILE PROTECTING YOUR PRIVACY

Glory holes.

Chip... I like your Mark Twain Quote

Looks fade but character is forever. I only mentioned I was a model years ago since a post insinuated about my looks in the video. Yes, where I live there are no ruff and tough mountain men :)

It depends on what kind of prepper you are.

If you are the urbanized store keeper type (storing up for the Big Event) your going to have it much harder than the 'Survive the natural world' kind.

A lot of the Eco-friendly, back to nature type people, you know organic gardeners, self-sufficiency, sustainable living, off griders also have a tendency to be preppers.

As example, myself. about 20 years ago I started getting a lot more serious about things like what I was putting in my body (my food), and more aware of my impact on the environment and how much energy I was using and wasting in order to live the American Lifestyle.

I started out looking for alternatives in order to be more Eco-friendly and that just lead me to survivalist and prepper websites and other resources. That lead to me being much more aware of the potentials for distaster, and prepping and living more eco-aware just works well with each other.

How? Well both tend to be interested in alternative energy, you know, wind, solar, distilling alcohol for fuel for the car...

Both tend to consider long term food planning, gardening, hunting, fishing.

Both tend to seek to be away from the urban and suburban areas.

I met my husband watching the US-Mexico border The Minuteman Project. We never went "on a date." Got married three months after we met.

He had lived off the grid so long, he did not exist on any credit bureau and had no credit rating.

Here's an idea OP.

Why not open a temp Ebay site selling advanced prepper supplies and then data mine your new client base for those people who are looking at items you see as in line with your level of expertise?

?

now thats my kind of romance

lowes or home depot.

Hmm, in that case, I'm prepared to be naked...a lot. Sign me up sweetheart.

Ontheverge. I love your story! That's so great :)

We need more women like you! Thumbs up!!

This thread is making me gloomy..... Where were you three years ago OP? I would have given it a go with you....but alas...I am married now. My wife idea of prepping is making sure she has enough coffee in the cupboard for a year. Thats pretty much it.

Great idea! I'll try that if I ever need a new husband :-)

Does he have any friends?

Seriously ...

Go to...

The Southern Preppers Homesteading & Gardening Expo
September 5-7
Oxford, Alabama

Sure to be losts of preppers there.
Good luck.
Come back and let us know what you find.

You can use that coffee for bartering with the coffee/caffeine addicts. : )

hell yeah it makes as much sense as storing extra bullets or silver maybee more.

i thought about prepping... it was a lot of work. then i realized i only needed to prep for 1 scenario - to "lose" everything.

life is so much easier now

And there you have it, the feds organizing an event to take down all your names/pictures. Line up dummies!


For one OP, there is no privacy on the web, by making this thread and adding a label to yourself, you probably added yourself to a list. That is of course if you're not a fed yourself, looking to catch some horny idiots off guard.

Two, city girls aren't compatible with the cornbread, meat and tators types, I've yet to meet a city girl that had any of the same interests that I do, doesn't matter what she looks like, city girls are often needy and want to be seen, you don't get that out in the sticks.

Finally, if it was meant to be, you'd have somebody already.

And lots of preppers go to the Army surplus stores to purchase items, with cash of course.

In my area, last year a community garden center was started and lots of like minded people go there.

It's all around, just get involved

Heh. true.

I been contemplating items that would be in high demand or extremely useful if the ole' grocery store ever stopped being what it is.

Bleach, salt and plastic bags are excellent choices to stock up on.

Salt for flavor and for its curative properties with meat (just add smoke). Some parts of the country, salt would be difficult to obtain. Heck tons of spices set aside would be good for barter or use for that matter.
Bleach for its use as a cleaning/disinfectant/sanitation and water additive for purification.
Plastic bags, for their hygiene and/or storage/gathering purposes.

(These three items would be gold in the right situation....or, just keep enough on hand for yourself.)

Then of course, there is the need for bulk dried food, etc. etc. etc.....

BTW.....TP is a nearly useless, dumb item to stock up on and had to laugh at one guys claim that he had a warehouse full for SHTF.

no,no and no all good items to have for sure but all have
local supplies or alternates have you ever tried going without coffee? no its not a necesity but it has no
decent substitute if you live in the USA or Canada (maybee
some places could grow it but not many)

off topic i know sorry

Well, if you can stomach their religious beliefs, Mormons are usually quite kind and hellofa preppers. Perhaps you need to relocate to happier "hunting grounds". Utah? Idaho? Alaska? Nothing wrong with a lady "strategically" positioning herself for a "win".

Bullshit with that idea of "you're single because you're damaged". I didn't meet the love of my life until 40, he recently passed away and now I'm a 55 year old widowed disabled prepper. You think you've got trouble meeting a man?

I was very lucky. My wife knew I was a prepper when we were dating and she just thought I was crazy. She didn't participate but I think she enjoyed the comfort of a safety net. I have now converted her into a full blown prepper with me. Now she has her LTC and comes back from the grocery store with extra canned goods and such every time she goes shopping. She is also really into gardening and canning now. We dated for 10 years, so it was a very long process to convert her lol. Would be really difficult just meeting someone.

As long as she's a halfway decent girl, I'll never need an anti-rape spray.

I can deal with a needy girl, as long as she keeps me happy in bed. That will give me energy to do most anything else on my own for both of us.

im thinking dead drops involving love letters and rations

LOL
