The Freedom Cell Network

The Freedom cell network is a website that helps you set-up peer to peer groups that organize themselves with the common goal of becoming sovereign and independent from oppressive government control. 

I'm not 100% thrilled with the "new age" vibe of the site - but they are a resource to get your group started, especially in regards to finding one in your area if you don't already have a network of like-minded people around you.  https://freedomcells.org

The Civilian Defense Force

The Civilian Defense Force is your friends and neighbors, coming together to stand in the face of danger as the last line of defense of our American homeland. After the police, after the National Guard and other military, we (your mail carrier, pharmacist, pizza shop owner, dog groomer) will be there, ready to defend.

 

They’ll help when disaster strikes, when police are overwhelmed, when search and rescue volunteers assemble. We are citizen soldiers who put our communities, and our nation, first.

Skills to Consider for the Future

I know that buying equipment and stocking up on supplies can be expensive! If you lack the financial means to prep your household, you can also learn skills that you can barter/trade with for supplies or to make yourself essential to a network of people. 

This is also a list of things that might be helpful for your "circle of trust" and household to learn for the times ahead. If anything, buy books on these subjects to have on hand with the rest of your supplies...

So you have a network of trusted friends - now what?

Maybe you've talked with some like-minded neighbors, had a family meeting about getting some supplies or plan on putting together a group of friends for future tough times ahead. Read these tips for some ideas on how to move forward...

  • have a meeting to get on the same page and take inventory of what each person can bring to the group in terms of skills & resources

  • make sure everyone understands privacy - what is said in the group, stays in the group

  • being/living in close proximity is ideal but if you can't, try to plan on meeting in a more secure location

  • take notes, assign roles, be respectful in your discussions

  • realize that these things can be very stressful for some and more exciting for others - respect where people are at emotionally and recognize your strengths and weaknesses

  • do things "one step at a time" - tackling everything at once can be overwhelming

  • have fun together - don't forget to relax and laugh together to break up the chores/work

  • pray for God's guidance in your set-up, spending and roles

  • be humble - good leaders will rise naturally, not demand control. If you can't work within a group, check your attitude because you will make things miserable for yourself and the rest of your group

  • be honest with your limitations. If something is too much for you, ask for help or let someone else take the job/responsibility

  • realize that small arguments and disagreements are completely normal. This will be like any other family! If foundationally your group is very different, then it may be better to look for another group

Topics of discussion for your meetings:

- what is our mission/goal as a group

- do we want to have guidelines/rules

- how does the group feel about allowing outsiders in

- securing entries and exits

- where will your water supply/filtration come from

- is everyone willing to work late night security shifts

- where are we strong

- where are we weak

- how will we communicate (radios)

- where will we get power if grid/electricity is out

- who can raise animals

- are all parties willing to share resources, if not, why?

- who is proficient in shooting/firearms

- will members get training/skills needed

- will you pool finances to purchase supplies or buy separately

- do we need surveillance cameras

- what if there is fire - protocols

- what will we do if one family isn't contributing

- how will we work out disagreements

- how will we not draw attention to ourselves

- will you have "no trespassing" signage

- what are our lawful rights against intruders

- will you walk around armed (yes)

- what supplies do we need right now

- who do we know outside the group that we can trust to provide supplies/skills

- what books should we have on hand

- will we conduct bible study/church together

- kid's schooling/daycare while others are working on property
