Thread: looking 4 Arkansas Preppers

  1. #1

    Default looking 4 Arkansas Preppers

    Any Arkansas preppers that wish they could do more. I have 40 acres out in the woods and 1/2 mi from greerys ferry lake. I have been working on the place about 3 yrs and building is slow. People that were on board at first have dropped off so now its just me and my wife, and she works 2 hr away and stays gone those days so mainly just me. Well it has came to the point that there is only so much one person can do, and we have put all our savings into this place so not much money left either. So can't afford contractors to build, I have to do it all my own. What we do have so far is several solar panels, 100amp power invertes, and 1000ah battery bank, one wind generator that now in need of some repair, and a run down trailer that is mostly storage, some livestock, and bee hives.

    Anyway, wondering if anyone wants to build themselves a cabin or get a trailer, help build fences and barn to expand livestock. Help build solar panels, storage shed, underground food storage, ect. and in return can live here or at least have a place to come when shtf.

    Ps. We also can teach you nearly anything you want to learn. Gun safety, hunting, fishing, camping, survival skills, tanning hides, preserving foods, electrician, plumbing, building log cabins, running tractor/ backhoe, and much much more.

    Pss. Also if there are any preppers fairly close would really like to know. It would be nice having some friends up in this area

    We'll hook you up with the next guy that wants to ROTTW, wants to know where he can live for free or has a $5,000 bug out bag and owns no bug out location.
    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

    ROTTW+ Run Off To The Wilderness......
    Problem is most that show up here don't have any money, no experience, and don't like rules...anybody's rules.

    The will require cell service and Wifi to complain on the interweb how tough life it.

    Good luck with your search....If you find some one, get a contract in writing.

    PS what's your location?

    Too bad you don't have daughters. My dad had 5 girls, no boys. He always had a ton of boys around to help out with what ever chore they thought they could impress him with lol.

    It's pretty hilly here, a good place to be though. I'm 1/2 mi. from a large lake. step ravines a 1/4 mi. away, one gravel road into here. it would be a hard hike if a gang wanted back here. Lots of deer and wildlife. 20 min drive to the closest one horse town. an hour to nearest Walmart. and real close to total self-sufficiency so fairly relaxed work schedule. Now its really about just making life a little nicer.

    Civman, neither of these Arkansas members has been logged in for nearly a year. The one that started the thread was just looking for some free labor from idealistic morons.

    When he got no takers he moved on, never to be heard from again.

    Heck, gimme my own little space to build my own little place, and I might come...except, between the 2 (or 3) of us we still might not have enough pennies to rub together to do much more. And will just require that much more food and water, despite there being an extra pair of hands available sometimes. And where am I gonna get my own building materials? Can I use your trees and dirt and stuff? While I'm doing my thing, how much can our times align such that we get some common/mutual things done? Get's kinda tricky. So maybe I can't be an idealistic moron.

    So many come backs and so little space to write them.
