I went to the ISD meeting last night and it was great. Walt big thanks for hosting and getting us all together. I am going to do all I can to help spread the word about your growing business. Wife and I will be in this weekend.
I learned some new things and got some good ideas from it. I shared some things as well with others and hopefully they gained some knowledge. I unfortunately showed up late and missed 30 min.
Some of you had great comments and things to share; I unfortunately didn’t get to write them all down. Asking that you post some things or references you shared if you want.
I had the aquaponics greenhouse in my back yard. Happy to answer any questions, have a tour, or even separate thread to answer any questions or discuss.
I also spoke of raising chickens within city limits. I have 18 chickens (16 hens and 2 roos) on .22 acres in suburbia, Marion County. Can share about this as well.
I spoke of 299 days book by Glen Tate, and The Survival Podcast and associated forum by Jack Spirko. FYI picking up Patriot at the recommendations of one of the people last night.
I would like to know more about food discount stores and the canning/LDS place. If anyone knows or are associated with them are they open to a group buy/volunteer/workforce?
I liked the idea about bulk buying and would like to see more discussion/organization of this.
I would like to know more about surplus military vehicles and the guy who has restored/has his own. Where to buy, where to get parts, advice/tips.
I am interested if anyone would like to have more meetings, or organize more meetings.
Would a topic/list of suggested topics for next meeting help? Maybe Food storage, or water storage and getting clean water. We had a lot of great nfo but think we just hit the surface on many topics.
Thanks Rick
I was also talking with AL about having a meet up for people wanting to learn about raising bees.
The bag is in the veh(like always)and ready for show and tell,add,subtract or what ever
What if we have a weapon as part of the bag ? Should we obvioulsy unload it before entering or leave it in the car and pretend it is in the bag ??
Good topic for a ISD meet ! ?
Short of the getting stung part of it bees are cool
I received an email from Elia James, the Marion County CERT coordinator. These are the classes that have been discussed at some meeting. This is great free training if you have the time to go. The next set of classes to get CERT certified are Sept. 22, Sept. 29, Oct. 6 and Oct. 9 from 9:00am - 3:00 pm At this location: 3930 Georgetown Rd. , Indianapolis, IN 46254Oh, Oh, pick me, pick me.
I volunteer to put together a class or organize. I do this for my normal job. But talking about something I actually LIKE for a change would be great.
CPR/First aid is a good class and does anyone know if any organization offers free classes to groups?
I have CERT leadership meeting next week and will see what I can learn about maybe a CERT training too.
We are also starting a bulk pre-buy on 55gal water drums and ammo cans. I will put up more info in the next couple dayd when I get all the info together.
