So I had to move back to my hometown, which is surrounded by several large cities in the middle of CA. Ammo is worth more than gold, guns are heavily restricted and the supply is drying up. But the point being, I'm surrounded by 2,000,000 of the nanny state's finest yuppies and their priuses...

I come from a land that has had her share of natural and man made disasters. And I'm sure there will be more to come. Despite the population pressure there is a lot of outstanding wilderness areas. I love to go out for weeks at a time and get away form the urban wilderness (Bay Area) I live...

Hello everybody. Names Christopher, but my friends call me NIE. I am a Veteran that just moved from Iowa to Southern California (talk about culture shock), looking for more information. I will attempt to share what I know, however I am sure I will end up learning more in this community...

Hello! My name is Mrs. Wilson. I'm a 28 yr old homeschooling mom of 3, married to a wonderful man (he he, I hope he sees this) that has introduced me to being prepared for any disaster. I'm looking forward to meeting more like-minded people!

Greetings from the People's Republic. Man, I hate this place. Now, with that out of the way... I'm not long for CA, but at least at this time I live (with my wife) in a rural area of the northern Central Valley. I'm retired from law enforcement, and have been prepping now for a little over a...

Been stationed up in Nor Cal for a few years and found this website. Anyone else from this area or SoCal East County?

Just bouncing an idea out there. How about the idea of a "preparedness expo" of sorts over a weekend in the spring/summer of 2010. If anyone has any skills in prepping, survival, or homesteading they can share, this would be the venue to do it in. Now I am not the organizing type but if anyone...

Just joined the site a few days ago and also just moved here to Petaluma Ca for about 6 months was looking to see if anyone was near this area.

Wondering if there's anyone else in Southern California on this board. Would be good to, at least, meet and exchange ideas, plans, gear lists, etc. And, at best, to plan a camping expedition, and exchange skills. Let me know either in this thread or by pm.
