How to Form an Effective Prepper Group
One of the first things a new prepper typically wants to do is reach out to other like-minded people in their area about prepping and trying to form a prepper group. Unless there is an established and open group in the area, it’s often very difficult to form one of these groups. Not only are preppers by their very nature (and for good reason) cautious about discussing prepping with people they don’t already know, but unless the group is advertising and is looking to get new members, you might not even know about a group that could already be in your area.
Today we will discuss where you can find people that may be interested in joining your “group”, how you should be approaching the topic of preparedness with people and why most people that set up groups are going about it the wrong way.
Where do I find people for my prepper group?
It’s fairly easy to find fellow preppers if you pay attention and use common sense. Below is a list of places both online and offline that you could potentially find several people to start or join your group.
- Gun shops or clubs
- Hunting and Fishing specialty stores
- Farmer’s Markets
- Military surplus stores
- Craigslist
- Facebook (especially Facebook groups)
- Prepper Groups
- Prepper Link
- PrepperDating
- Meetup.com

Talking to a new person face to face about prepping is often times awkward and unproductive. Meeting someone at the local gun range and immediately asking about long-term storage foods or how many medical supplies they have on hand is probably not the best way to broach the subject of prepping with someone you’ve just met…READ THE REST HERE
