We too are looking for an affordable piece of land preferably in Idaho, Colorado, or Montana. We would like to find 5 – 20 acres for $20,000 or under if possible. We are trying very hard to prepare for what we know is coming, and we would like to find others who want to work with us, or, who are looking for others to work with them–like minded people who are well on their way to being prepared. We are a professional couple and have equipment and other skills to work with. If anyone knows of any land, or if you know of others in the areas of Idaho, Colorado, or Montana of like-mind, please, please, email us at preparenow4tomorrow@gmail.com.

Any preppers or groups in the Helena, MT area? Prepared family would be interested in chatting with you. Please e-mail me at nh5@comcast.net.

Thanks!

My wife Terri and I would like to extend a warm greeting to you.

Like all on this web site, we too are looking to live and fellowship within a community of similar minded people. We are not a couple that wishes to start any anarchist movement against our country, nor are we a pair of bible thumping, hallelujah, hell fire and brimstone people. My wife and I are simply 2 mature, educated Christians that believe it is time to start preparing for what maybe a “seasonal” change, as is stated in the Scriptures.

We, Terri and I, through prayer and diligently seeking out the Lord’s guidance, find ourselves in a position to take several actions:

A)     Join a already existent group

B)      Search out others and purchase land together

C)      Purchase land on our own

All three offer advantages as well as disadvantages:

Joining an existing group will have an organized structure and resources in place, plus have the added “safety in numbers”.  The down side is that we may find ourselves with people that have incompatible moral, ethical and religious beliefs that could cause unnecessary and even dangerous strife within the group. As they say “birds of a feather flock together”. That is not to discount witnessing to others but when your families safety and health is on the line, it’s nice to know who you can trust and count on. Then there are the leadership abilities, political agenda and over all mindset of the group. Am I and my wife valued assets and members of a community or are we just a means to protect the upper leaders ASSets?

Searching for others seems to be the most ideal choice. The collective buying power, resources, knowledge and experiences of multiple families would greatly enhance and strengthen the security and fellowship amongst the community members.  Since it would be a relatively small group (approx 10 families) each member would share in the liabilities, responsibilities and division of work needed for the survival of all; Gardening, harvesting, care of livestock, building and maintenance, etc. and of course security. As all members would have similar values and beliefs, it would increase their resolve and faith against any trials that will come before them.

The last option is for us to simply go off into the mountains ourselves and build a private retreat. Although this may be what the Lord wills of us, I realize that it is not the most ideal plan as it entails huge amounts of additional work and provides for the minimal amount of security. Given the fact that scriptures tell us to fellowship with others, this kind of seclusion doesn’t seem to be in keeping with the Word.

What my wife and I wish is to “go off the grid”. That is to say that we wish to exclude ourselves from the social, economical and political influences of the majority. We wish to produce our own electricity, fuel and food. That is not to say that we wish to completely cut ourselves off from the world but simply live in a community with minimum invasion from it.

We have been given an opportunity to purchase 160 acres of medium timbered land here in Montana. It provides plenty of natural spring water with abundant game and gardening locations.

I am hoping that this letter finds you in the same frame of mind and possibly encourages you to start a conversation with us.

I would like to end this letter with a few quotes from the Word:

Isaiah 50:4-8

The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? Let us stand together: who is mine adversary? Let him come near to me.

2Timonthy 3:12-17

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Luke 22:36

Then said he unto them, but now until the end, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his script: and he that hath no sword; let him sell his garment and buy one.

With sincerest regards,

Michael & Terri Wilson

I am a Hazmat Technician and Weapons of Mass Destruction Specialist if you have CBRNE concerns. My resume is extensive and I dont want to list it all here. included are Sniper, Gunsite shotgun/carbine/pistol – all completed their highest course. Multiple combat awards.

We are of high moral character. We have no children though my wife loves them. We are well equipped but still need to get our food reserves. We are financially sound. We lack mechanical and agricultural experience. Tactically, wilderness survival and self defense wise, or NBC related – we pretty much have covered.

I’m in W. MT. Just wanted to say “hi” & let you know you’re NOT alone as there’s a group of about 1,000 just S. of Msla who’ll be meeting Tues. May 4th at the Ravalli Cnty Fair Grounds in Hamilton at 6PM for a Potluck & main meeting at 6:45PM. About 500 show up regularly every month! Of course there are subgroups at various levels of seriousness/dedication who meet regularly to educate one another in our on-going effort to be self-sufficient & prepared. I know what it’s like being alone with a mind set dedicated to seeking what’s true & standing for what’s right. You feel like an alien. Well, I am a woman of faith & God answered my prayers by providentially connecting me with a group of like minded people. All are fairly conservative, many libertarian & others are respected for “whatever” their individual personal beliefs are. You have an interesting background. Email me back if you’d like to chat. Also – we’re hosting a big event at the University of MT (Msla) May 21st &22nd at the Adam’s Center. We’ve invited Chuck Baldwin, Sheriff Richard Mack, Schaeffer Cox, Gary Marbut as well as others to guest speak. The goal is to have 5,000 show up! We’ll see . . .
Well – enjoy the beauty of this grand State in which we live. Went for a hike up Bass Creek (Bitterroot Selways) last weekend. It was awesome!
