Today’s Challenge
Do you have a group of people with whom you plan to hunker down when it hits the fan? If you do not have a group of friends, fellow preppers of family members, think about your neighbors in the following exercise.
Write down a list of everyone’s skills. Are you missing any extremely important skills, like medical knowledge, foraging, or food preservation? Make a plan to start filling in those gaps.
Write down a list of what you believe might be everyone’s weak points. Do you fully trust every single person? Does a member of your group have beliefs that could jeopardize the group? Think about this carefully and ponder several courses of action to prevent problems.
Here are some articles you may find helpful.

What did you come up with?
What are the skills in your group? What skills are missing? What problems are you expecting and is there anything you can do to prevent that?
Here’s the post in the forum.
