you're been a little silly... it's a awesome idea... some problems have been put forward... to coming for a few days... lets say for argument sake we have this meet up, it goes for 7 days (yep 7) yet you can only be there for 3... I doubt anyone will think less of you, or its organized for a particular week but through other commitments can only make it on day 3.. it's just something that come with group get togethers  if i dared try for 3 i would come home to an empty house and less a car.... lol just feeling like a twat for trying to get ppl excited n want to do something along those lines when they dont... |

is there anyone you trust to babysit your home??? but a different note, it's NOT a silly idea, it's a grate idea, if you were in the USA where preppers are more common... having local meetups is extremely doable... here you just need to take the few of us out there, still a BRILLIANT IDEA no matter how you look at it |

no not really, we DID have family here til a few years ago, now we are the only ones, and sort of keep to ourselves, its bad enough asking our neighbour to feed the dog if we are gone for a while :/

no, but its a cr@ppy neighbourhood in general. i was once cleaned out by my neighbours when away for a few days before moving here. when sheet moved into the street, im not making the same mistake twice  my actual next door neighbours are great, its like 4 households, and the ferals they have coming and going, druggos (my dog is vicious for a reason, they have even tried to burn him to access the yard while i was home!) hopefuly by the end of the year im going to be moving out of town a little. |

btw, no, not my street, but i've had my fuel siphoned like 5 times in as many weeks til i learned to not keep much fuel in the car :/ and the old ppl within walking distance had scooters stolen, then found in my street, there was even a riot between two families that resulted in the riot squad coming up from Sydney! and if you ask Wayne, he knows just how rediculous that is for a small town like this!

Wolfstar: Yeah definitely good prep to move on from that area. I posted up a small meet up for people in Vic. I think it's good to just start, meet one another share stuff in person and see what comes of that, thanks for your inspiration, I was going to do something alone and thought that I might as well include people. |

and I thought woodridge is bad (any Queenslander has herd of this infamous place....) sounds really bad I hope you can move out of town, in a area like that and shtf having a inch bag will be the best (and only) option.... it maybe worth seeing who else is in your state and "convince" them your a asset and add to their group |

thankfully its not all the town, just a couple of bad neighbourhoods, there is even a really nice almost estate out of town that has multiple acres to build on! very very tempting imo |

*Arrives late to topic* I'd love to meet up! At the moment I'm limited to getting to places using public transport (I kinda broke my car some time ago and haven't got one atm). I'd definitely be up for exchanging ideas and tips with you wolfy - I could do with some tips on freeze drying, and would be happy to give you some tips on lifting safely and flipping tyres  |
