Virginia

Am clearing out the last of the stuff here at the Colonial Beach house, one load already deposited in the new home, in the old stomping grounds, in Tennessee.

I dunno if there are any Ford truck fans among you, but just in case - I've got a pair of good NP435 (granny-low 4spd) transmissions here, a couple of half-worn NP208 transfer cases (one w/ new chain & seals) & a D44 ttb 'chunk' that are all free to a good home if you speak up real soon! (One old, rusted F150 won't be making the trip with me - it's headed for recycle heaven very soon.)

Sorry I couldn't have gotten together with y'all earlier - but apparently, this is how it was meant to be! Y'all take care!

- Doug

I live in Va Beach & do want to start some meetups or just private networking for many of you like-minded & prepared brothers & sisters. Let me know via PM & we can all try to contribute on different avenues for survival thru positive energy & understanding. We, like Bill & Kerry ended on the blogtalkradio program earlier, are more powerful than we even know, YET, & that is why these chilling scenarios are trying to come into fruition by other malevolent ET's which control the highest human elites. WE WILL NOT @ ALL GO QUICKLY INTO THE NIGHT! Love SELF (SomeThing EveryThing Loves ForEver)

I am here in the Central Virgina area.

The idea for meet ups, for me personally, is very premature. I am willing to cautiously connect with others via this forum in order to ascertain the professional and collateral skill sets of those who are local to me.

I am a robotics engineer for a major corporation. I have past experience also in nuclear engineering. I have collateral skill sets for:

1) aquaculture
2) hydroponics and greenhouses
3) solar power systems
4) geodesic dome structure
5) plumbing and electrical systems

I also have other hard assets.

My concern is networking with others who are serious, quality people. It is very important to me that they be mentally stable individuals who are not full of self delusions who also bring something worthwhile and practical to the table.

Who has acreage with lumber and clean flowing water or spring water on it?

Who has earth moving equipment?

Who has an operating or potentially operating farm that is far from any major population center?

Who has survival training and gear?

Who has security experience and personal defense and fire arms knowledge?

Who has construction and carpentry skill sets?

Who has water quality knowledge and experience?

Who has experience raising domestic livestock?

Who understands soil quality issues and crop timing and rotation?

Who has surveyor skills?

Who has skills and equipment for diagnosing and repairing automotive systems?

Who has skills for large group meal preparation and management of food storages?

Who has medical knowledge and practical skill sets?

Regards,
Merkhava

Hello everyone. Just an FYI; there is a new thread up for a Appalachian ground crew. Maybe this is a good place for all surrounding states of the Appalachian to join in on.
