Let's get together and teach each other to grow our own vegi's, plant fruit trees, raise chickens, make beer, make biodiesel, retrofit our houses for alternative energy. Or we can just swap seeds and can our extra tomatoes. You can do it because you love to garden, or because you want to survive the zombie apocalypse. Either way, if you're making your city home a little more self sufficient, then this group's for you.

Survival, Preparedness, and Sustainable Living Organization.

I started this group for those in the Whatcom County (WA) area (though BC residents are also welcome from the nearby White Rock, and Surrey areas as well!).  This group is about honest concern for potential events that might endanger the well-being of your family and other loved ones, and about formulating some backup plans in case other municipal, State or Federal response/support or other commercial options are not accessible. It's not about panic, but instead preparation to respond to potenti …
