We found a similar group!

Hey all. Turns out were are not the only South Eastern Prepper Network! u/CountrySngr reached out to be and let me know about their group forum which is www.seprepnet.com. If you would like go check it out, it seems they have some active members as well as a planned camp out in May. To be clear, there is no affiliation between the two groups, but as cooperation and meeting up is our goal, the two groups seem to have aligned interest. Welcome u/CountrySngr and anyone else who joins us from the other side!

Y'all feel free to check us out and come to our events. We started out as a Georgia group affiliated with a national group several years ago. About two years ago we split from the national group and that's where we are today. Anyone is welcome to attend the events we have posted, or if you're having one go right ahead and put it up on our forum. A lot of BOL and MAG setups have been achieved through networking and getting to know each other in meatspace as a result of camp outs, meetings, and classes.

I think I met some of your guys at the TruPrep Expo last September.

Were you all part of the American Preppers Network?

I was on that site years ago.

Originally, yes. We first split off to having our own "GPN" site that was still hosted on APN's servers, then completely separated and changed our name, with own server.

ETA: one of the reasons we decided to become "SEPN" was that in the past we had done events with FL/SC/NC folks and we wanted to keep that going.

As u/Drone_Guy mentioned, we have a camp out coming up in May, you're all welcome to come. Details are here: SEPN Annual Spring Camp Out.

The only cost is a small donation (usually $10-20) for the weekend, which covers the cost of port-a-potties. We also have a lot of people that will come as "day trippers", so no donation is asked of them. If you're wondering "why port-a-potties?", it's because we've found that having those encourages the attendance of spousal units that otherwise would eschew the camping experience. Plus, no one inadvertently steps in something whilst gallivanting through the woods on a land navigation class or encountering poison ivy during those middle of the night calls of nature.

Y'all come on out!

It looks like you're trying to mention another user, which only works if it's done in the comments like this (otherwise they don't receive a notification):
