hi everyone- I'm new to the forum, but have been into preparedness for several years. The issue I'm hoping you can help me with is this- all my research and prep tells me that my wife and I aren't going to be able to make it on our own- the whole "it takes a village" thing. The question is, how do I go about finding like minded individuals in my area without letting half the county know where to turn for supplies if things turn ugly. I've felt out family members- no takers. Any ideas would be appreciated.
