Gladwin, Michigan
Happy to hear that there are other Mich residents on board, everyone doing ok? People here in Michigan (probably everywhere) are being hit hard with high gas prices, food prices, job security is gone for many.
My Fiance and I are moving to Detroit in a few weeks. Was wondering if anyone wanted to talk about what they have set up already for urban/wilderness survival and when/if the SHTF.

Why on Earth would you want to move TO Detroit?
If that city goes postal,you're stuck. Even on perfect weather days,the traffic in and out of it is horrendous. The rest of Michigan keeps hoping a meteorite will impact there or something.
So far we have Kalamazoo, Port Huron, Peck (me), Gladwin, one from Lansing, one near Lansing, Grand Rapids, one soon to Detroit, one south of Detroit, somewhere in SouthEast Michigan and somewhere in the Northern part of the lower Pen. checking in. Kind of a spread out bunch.
I know there are more on the boards that are from Michigan, they must be shy.
This could be a good way to find a member near you, get to know them a little and possibly start a group, just a thought.
I have family all over that state, Armata,Sterling hgts,Marine City,St.Helens,MT.Clemens,Flatrock and last but not least Gibralter,I loved going their as a kid.If the economy wasn`t so bad,i be there before Idaho,but i must fallow the wifes quest for more money!
Have lived in Livonia, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Bay City, Grand Blanc (flint).
Im trying to get some money to go to school thru the Michigan Works program. Its been a bit of a pain in the butt.
They have me doing labor market research for careers I'm not interested in all because of their "carreer assesment" test. It was so far off the mark, it was stupid.
Im a bit frustrated because I have been given a lot of false information from people at MI Works. At first they said it would take me 6-8 weeks to get confirmation for school money. Well, its been almost 3 months and they are giving me a whole new round of hoops to jump thru.
Anyone else use this program? tell me what you think.
Why are you monkeying around with Mi Works? Anything they do is going to be more aligned towards perpetuating their own employment,not yours.By your post,its looks like you are finding this out the hard way...
Go to a local school.... best if you hit a Community College. Talk to a guidance counselor and go from there.
They will help you much more than Mi works.
As for the $ issue.... tell them exactly what your issues & plans are... They will help you get started.
My wife went though a lot of this with a Community College...
Not getting any money from them- because I need to come up with my own $$ to fund the pre-req's (beggining college courses)
If you have never been to college this program will not help you get an associates degree from your local comm college.
Would have been nice if they came out and told me from the start before i wasted all my time and gas money driving over there the last 3 months playing their games.
I'm a librarian in Beecher but live in Grand Blanc. I did start a Michigan group. I see familiar faces here. Feel free to join the group and there is a Great Lakes group also.
