Do you know of something equivalent but not necessirily preparing for WW3?
I would like to meet up with bushcraft style survivalists, in particular to go on trips with a group. I am afraid none of my friends would contemplate accompanying me, having a preconceived idea that it's "very hard and not enjoyable" and quite frightening
.
There are quite a few members down your way nomade and I expect that there are some that feel just the same. As bambodoggy says, there's the Ashdown meet up next month and that's expected to be a regular event and it will be a great opportunity for you to meet up with the others.
Another option is to have a look at the member map to see who's about then contact them and ask if they're interested in getting together. I expect that there is a thread started by someone in your area about a get together, you could resurrect that and see if there is any interest.
For the most part the members get together first in a pub or some such and then plan an activity, it's a safe way of doing it and you can make a decision on continuing with it or not.
Next year we'll also have at least 2 bcuk meet ups which will be fantastic, and another opportunity for you to meet up with like minded people.(bushmoots!!) and there's the Gathering.
I think that 2005 will be a good year for people getting together :biggthump
