Maltese, I don't mean to be a party pooper, but aren't you trying to put your cart in front of your horses? I don't have anything constructive in act at this time HERE where I live, so I personally don't know how my opinion in a decentralized group (much less, international) meeting any time soon could be of great value. Most of the things you mention are certainly important, but first it has to be worked out on a local level for each of us. I think that only then, when things are really up and running, we can start networking with other faraway groups. I am really far away from any of you, and my actual reality, resources and needs, are definately different from each of yours; for example, food and/or water will probably be no problem for me and my group (when I will have one), but I assume someone on the islands will have to address this problem. And I can always head for higher hills if necessary and hit the real woods or jump the border, but you living on an island will need a fast boat or means of travel by air.

I think that each one of us here on the forum must come up with their own local plan, which is what the GB groups are doing and, lucky them, with good results so far.

What is usefull now is gleaning what they are doing and what their plans and program are so that we, too, can get things moving...each one in his own area.

I, personally, am emotionally blocked because of a private situation (divorce case and financial disaster) and I don't have the economic resouces to contribute to any kind of preparing a new "safe" community, but I am a prettty intelligent person with many talents and I would be willing to work physically toward creating such a place. I could give my time to researching, to trying to find a safe place, and I am willing to relocate, but I have no money to put into any iniziative. And I will not garantee that I could ever physically meet up with another ground crew.

In the meantime, my son and I are trying to get organized starting with an inventory of what we have and what we need for basic survival. We have started mentioning "things" to our friends to see how "awake" and receptive they are so we can get a bearng on WHO will be willing to take part in this adventure. Unfortunately, in our very small circle, we have found noone who is yet willing to let go of their faith in "the system" to get any collaboration. And that is why it is important for us to network with other members of the italian forum so that if need be, we can and might relocate toward these other ground crews.

I await any input at this point from all of you to continue this discussion...(I don't want this to get too long with this single post).

PS Se qualcuno non sa leggere questo post e vuole che scrivo in italiano, ditelo e lo farò, no problem!
Pace e Bene!
