How to Find Preppers in Your Area
This post has been updated from our original How to Find Preppers post that was first published in 2017. We keep our content updated as the world around us changes, as we learn new skills and techniques, and (of course) when new ways of finding like-minded preppers show up.
Whether you are looking to join a prepping group, or simply want to know who is out there: finding preppers in your area can help you be more prepared. There are a few schools of thought on prepping and the strengths and vulnerabilities of joining a group.
Rather than get into a long debate on which school of thought is right or wrong, we are just looking at the impact of finding preppers in your area and not necessarily joining them. The methods that you use to find preppers in your area are pretty easy, and the internet makes it even easier.

The Prepper Group Mentality
Finding other preppers in your local area is beneficial for those who embrace prepping as a group. If you are planning to stay in a small family group or would shack up with strangers during a disaster, you are embracing a group mentality. Strength in numbers and shared resources are all huge benefits when SHTF, so groups tend to win out the majority of preppers.
Those unprepared for disasters may not realize it, but they will need to rely on groups for survival. The groups may be different than prepping groups, however, since they will likely be relying on regional and national aid (State and Local Emergency Management and FEMA).
Finding preppers in your area is especially important for groups prepping in advance to increase their numbers and boost their resources. Being active in a group can make you much more prepared as an individual and less of a liability to the group.
The Lone Wolf Mentality
The lone wolf prepper is less common and sort of glorified by the survival community. The idea of an individual making it on their own is admittedly badass. TV shows and movies have contributed to this idea by demonstrating how difficult it can be, such as the Discovery show Alone. Make no mistake; being 100% self-reliant is one of the most powerful skills a prepper or survivalist can possess.
You cannot argue that the road is much more difficult alone than with a group, though. One of the biggest benefits of being a lone wolf is the ability to blend in easily and avoid confrontations- a luxury large groups do not have.
Finding preppers in your area is important for lone wolf survivalists so they can monitor group statuses. Think of lone wolves as satellites orbiting the planet that is the large group in their area. If the group meets a catastrophic situation, it probably does not bode well for lone wolf preppers in the area.
Another benefit for lone wolves is to keep learning from these communities before SHTF. Just because they don’t plan on joining them in an emergency doesn’t mean they can’t continue to stay up to date on the latest survival techniques, equipment, and tactics. They won’t be sharing much to protect themselves, but they can still glean information from a group discretely.
Where to Find Other Preppers
You can find preppers in your area easily and through almost any situation. Stumble into someone at the hardware store, or at church and realize you have the same views when it comes to preparedness. You can find a group online or on a forum to join or just listen in and learn. We don’t think it’s ideal to broadcast your prepper intentions to the entire world (for OPSEC reasons) but that doesn’t mean you have to hide.
Even here at TruePrepper, where we are attempting to make prepping more mainstream and accessible to everyone, we don’t tell every single one of our friends how much food, ammo, and survival gear we have and where. OPSEC sometimes outweighs the need to share, so keep that in mind when you are looking for new prepping friends and start talking specifics.
Find Preppers Around Town
We touched on it earlier, but finding people with the same interests as you locally can sometimes be just as easy as getting out there and meeting people. Churches, clubs, and many other hobbyist groups can all tie into prepping and may have groups already sorted out that you can join. Neighborhood watches sometimes even have disaster groups that establish communication trees and responsibilities at the very least.
Get out there, shake a few hands, and make some new friends. You may find someone that you can share prepping ideas with, or an entire group.
There are also occasional prepper expos, camps, and festivals that might pull through your area every once in a while. When they are being held locally it might be worth your time to stop in and see what they are about. Here are the top 10 prepper expos and a few more worth checking out.
Find Preppers Online
The internet has made it possible to meet anyone with almost any interest instantly. Sites such as MeetUp can allow you to meet those with the same interests. Social media groups can work as well, but you lose some anonymity when you use those to interact with others.
When approaching large groups, be sure you learn more about them before you give too much information about yourself. You want to vet the group and make sure they ‘have their act together’ and will not be a mess when disaster strikes. Unfortunately, there are also scammers and ‘groups’ just looking to sell timeshares in survival properties as well- so be ready to recognize those as you see them.
Find Preppers By Volunteering
Volunteering has always been a great way to learn skills, share skills, and meet other people. We won’t beat a dead horse here- we’ve already covered this topic, so go check out 7 Ways to Volunteer as a Prepper.
The Final Word
Finding other preppers is not that hard of a task. Some have taken to using the comment section below, but remember OPSEC if you plan to join in.
Whether you stumble on other preppers by accident or go actively looking for them, prepping friends are an asset no matter your TEOTWAWKI plans.

Hi Chris:
I live in Middlesex cty, but used to live 25 years in Millburn, NJ. Am also looking for a prepper group but it appears NJ is limited in this area. Hopefully, there is a group within a decent mileage/time factor for me. I am a veteran of 7 years and am beginning to prepare for possible “problems” with weapons, ammo, and some emergency supplies. I unfortunately live in a Retirement community but I am healthy, active, clear minded and very experienced with potential chaos.

Hello! I’m Karen, I’m looking to join a group. Where in northern washington?
Hi. I’m a married woman about a hour east of Dallas. Just prepare the best you can and keep yourself open to other prepper vibes and you should meet like minded people. Go to some prepper conventions. Also , for kicks watch homesteadingwithdougandstacy.com. They are fun and addicting. Go to their earliest shows first. They have done unique things like eating tubers of Canons and how to harvest pollen from cattails to use for pancakes. Neat stuff.
Hey, I’m Kimmie. I know this was a bit ago, but I just found this. Was scrolling looking for someone to say Washington. I’m in SW PNW area though. My boyfriend and I are new to prepping. We’ve wanted to do so much more and I was even starting the house buying Mattson marathon a couple years ago with the main idea of prepping. Then covid and it messed it all up and we’re stuck in a place where we can’t plant anything and have no space. If we can’t find people near, we would really just appreciate some guidance from actual people, not just sites ya know. Thanks in advance if anyone even considers. P.S. I’m one of those that cries at the National Anthem. I love this country and it breaks my heart to see it like this. Kind of partvwhy I’m new to this, didn’t see it being this close.
WELL here I is ,north east WA. country living 25 miles from CANADA off HWY 25 I sure would love to chat with others PREPPERS around here !
I’m looking for a group in se pa as well
I’m in SE Pa looking to meetup with like minded people. You posted awhile ago but let me know. I had the same thing during the start of the pandemic I showed up at my parents house with 25# bag of rice and 20 gal of water my mother thought I was nuts
I was born and raised in SE..PA! Chester County to be exact. Most of my older relatives reside in places like: Chadds Ford, West Chester, Kennett Square, ETC.. Andrew Wyeth even painted my Great Uncle Adam! I moved in 1986 to explore new places. I now reside in Arizona at 65 years old. Been prepping seriously, for over 16 years. Now that I am alone, I too am looking for a group of like minded folks to plan my next move. I have lots of knowledge to share! Needless to say, I know the area VERY well, (always been a country boy). Spyder
Hi Spyder,
Have you found preppers groups in Arizona? Where in Arizona do you live? Me and my wife live in Chandler and we just started to become preppers and to search for think-a-like people. So we don’t have yet a lot of knowledge and supplies, but at least we’re working on it.
Thank you!
Adrian
Living in PA myself and having a hard time finding any people, but then again I’m new to PA
Oh my, you just described my own situation! I live in the city with another guy (we have lived together for 8 years) and I have been trying to explain to him many times over the years how we need to be prepared. He literally thinks that I am schizophrenic and believes that everything in the world is just peachy and that there is nothing to worry about. Anyhow, I am looking to live closer to other preppers and to join forces to make it through the coming times. I live in West Virginia currently and am definitely looking to relocate away from the city. If anyone else here is interested please message me at sarenaldo@gmail.com. I can certainly offer up my own resources and am looking for others who can provide the same.
Same situation here! I’m in central PA
In North Central WV looking for other preppers to learn from,share ideas and strategies and hopefully build a support system.
Hi I’m also in West Virginia. I am a prepper and off grid. I am in Calhoun County. Joyce

I’m in North Central WV also and currently looking for property out in the woods high up on a mountain. Looking to build a community. Together. To be completely self sufficient.
I am in NE Kansas just starting out as a prepper i agree most people they roll their eyes and make fun of what we all are preparing for. but when it comes down to it who is gonna survive. us or someone who is making a mockery of our life goals. they call us loons. they call us crazy. they think we are preparing for something that wont ever happen. hut in all reality it could happen in a minute in a hour in a day in a year we will NEVER know so its better to be SAFE THAN SORRY. anyone in NE KS id love to chat with yall.
I am from KS. I’m in SE NE now – my brother is still in KS and we are both big time preppers. Those of my friends who used to be eye rollers are now asking a lot of questions (due to the virus, social and civil unrest, and the political situation). My tribe has taken a lot of what I’ve been talking about for years seriously, and I’m proud that they have been doing the things they should have been doing all along.
Hi I’m from central NE Omaha area looking for like minded people. Our country is a mess right now and I believe it’s going to get worse very soon. I’ve been preparing but I don’t want to do this alone.
Are you still looking for like minded people. I’ve been preparing for awhile. Don’t want to go down this road alone. The country is getting worse by the day I think we’re headed for a significant event soon.
Hey Tory, I am looking to do exactly the same thing! I am currently in Morgantown WV and am looking to buy property in a rural area. If you would like to join forces or just talk let me know. Sincerely, Sarah

I’m in NE FL… where in FL R U? I’m just starting this
Where are you located in Florida
People some of you need real help and i mean that in a respectfull way. Its quite evident none of you have ever survived under actual combat conditions where you were the hunter as well as the prey.
How would you know that with the topics discussed so far here, or are you just trying to impress everybody?
WELL here I am in NORTH EAST WA. state I am a NEWBE living in the country I love it it better than living in a damn “LIBERAL CITY SEATTLE” PEOPLE can see though the BS fast
Hi Sarah I also used to live in Seattle. How is it going now have you found some like minded people. I’m considering moving to that area. I’ve been prepping for awhile and know things are getting worse.
AFTERNOON FROM NORTH OF KETTLE FALLS ,WA, I have been camping for years and hunting I have chicken ! I moved over here from SEATTLE,WA. “GOD” I am so happy I moved over here with my kids ! I wish I did this years ago! I have to heat my house with “WOOD” and that is “WORK” cut wood split wood almose everday to go to town it takes 30+ mins. to get to town ! I have enough “FOOD to last about 6 months and when I get food I get more “AMMO” never have enough AMMO I with I was a younger “PREPPER” because at my old age my health is not that good so I have to take a number of meds!
I m living in Southern California but I grew up in Washington in a town called Port Angeles. I would love to find like minded preppers in any State but California to join up with. We already see the writting on the wall here with the way that this pandemic has crippled our area. So if anyone is out there that has room for myself and my wife to join we are both a good asset to any group as we have been preppers for years and we are just ready to get out of this area before it becomes to late. My name is Michael and my wife is Holly.
Michael and Holly, search on YouTube for videos under the channel name “The Ozarks: Journey To Self- Sufficiency”. It is not my channel, but it might be helpful to you.
Hey Michael,
I am in Vancouver WA. I am a bit far from you and don’t have a car but I am a great asset. I am 33 great health zero drugs. I’ve been an industrial mechanic. I know how to build a nice log cabin. Email me at smichaellikescheese@gmail.com
I have survived, And you are a troll. I can tell by your hair.
You’re right John Smith. The most logical course of action for an TEOTWAWKI situation would be to take a pistol and put a single round right in your own head… I mean really, what are you sticking around for??? Though it must also be said people with modern combat experience may have to face adversaries without air support, a modern communications infrastructure, superior signals intel, and an almost unlimited logistics supply backing them up. So anybody with modern combat experience probably should be looking to make as many friends as possible perferably with the largest and most deverse array of skills and resources possible. Don’t you think?
I never served IN the service as with my KIDS ! “BUT” I was brought up with GUNS from 22 to 30/06 + when I went to school they tough “GUN SAFTY” and I have a WA. state CCP ! SO saying to be a GOOD PREPPER you must have served in the service !
Amen brother you know you shit

Best practice is to encourage prepping the more people who are prepared the less people to be come desperate during a destabilization event.

Hi to all,
Mike here, heading for West Virginia in Spring of 2021 where I own a couple of small properties, one very rural and another in a small WV city. I have roots in both Northern Virginia and NYC and I would like to meet other people who would like to talk about a loose association or network of people who could help each other and keep a low profile. I really like WV for this. Contact me if this is of interest so we can start a conversation on it. Compress this email link and write me:

Thanks, Ray
I’m looking to find people in southern NH. I see the writing on the wall and am doing all I can but an individual won’t get far. willing to join or start a new community with like minded people.
Hi Rick, (and others)
I am currently in western MA, but looking for property in NH, hope to move up as soon as possible, God willing. If you’re interested, we could join forces and create a local/regional group. I have friends mostly in Merrimack, Grafton and Coos Counties who are teaching self defense and survival skills, etc. Some are military vets, some are engineers, they run the gamut on skillsets. But as far as I know, there is no official group, just good trustworthy folks helping each other out. We’re talking about doing a workshop on 2-way radios, HAM, CB, etc.
I can be reached at cleomewhiskers@protonmail.com where I can share more.
Thanks. :-)
Hi Rick I’m In Sullivan County, NH looking for like minded people as well. Hit me up at bobbiebentertainment@yahoo.com for more info.

Heyyy there people.. I’m from New York City…. Looking for groups who might accept me into their community in case Agenda 21 kills most of us…. Although i think if that were to happen the gov’t would probably try to hunt us all down and try to either force us to get chipped or put us in concentration camp prisons where they’d kill us. There’s no hope for us… :(
Hi! I didn’t have much luck with the links in the article but I did find https://www.preppernet.net. It’s a non-political platform with a nationwide prepper network and lots of ACTIVE local support groups. If there is no group for your area, they’ve got the tools needed to get established. Hope to see you there!
Hello, all. I’m looking for groups in the Virginia/Maryland area. I’ve got several beginner skills that I’m looking to hone to survival levels so that I may contribute to the right group and allies.

Hi everyone, I’m a Scared single woman who has somewhat been prepping for a while. I’m nowhere near where I need to be in this current craziness – I have so much to learn and prep. I live in a city located an hour south of Houston Texas and would like to meet like minded preppers who could help or give me the best guidance. I’m just scared that it may be too late and will be alone when chaos breaks loose. Can someone please take the time to contact me with advice?
Hi. I’m a married woman about a hour east of Dallas. Just prepare the best you can and keep yourself open to other prepped vibes and you should meet like minded people. Go to some prepped conventions. Also , for kicks watch homesteadingwithdougandstacy.com. They are fun and addicting. Go to their earliest shows first.

Hello EME, I can understand being overwhelmed. You just need to create a plan and start implementing it. I can send you some great information if you like. Lonewulf Former Marine and long time prepper.
In times like these, we all need a bbf like yourself. I have some prepper friends. they help with some advice but for some reason I feel overwhelmed as well. I’m prepping for myself and my family, even though they are grown. I’m the mom that takes care of everyone, hard habit to break lol any advice I would definitely welcome.
Ky family seeks new families interested in prepping. Does your family have what it takes to join us?
Have what it takes?….I don’t understand what you mean by this? You and I don’t have what it takes,… how is anyone else going (self declare) to have what it takes? Just sounds like your selling something you cant actually sell as its not yours to sell. Sorry for being realistic.. and calling it as I see it.. but that might be what separates one from another…. if want information I can provide information and if you wish to share non specific information in tact Ide be willing to listen…but to join a closed idea…isn’t helpful to humanity as a whole.
email is a ghost don’t bother emailing.

Hi I’m Jeanette, long time prepper originally from east coast but moved to Chile. Won’t be a cake walk here when things crash… but far outside of nuke scenarios/fallout other problems. Lots of natural resources, low population, good for homesteading/simple life. We have some land for sale and looking for like-minded people. Contact me to discuss if interested at chilechinadollz@yahoo.com
Chile is a great local for long term sustainment however, unrealistic for most as mobilizing yourself and your loved ones at a moments notice to go there from US would require really good forecasting. and only certain well off people would be able to achieve that transit prior to SHTF event.
Even if one was to reach Chile prior to US SHTF event, there is still an issue of Clean Water, and sustainment via crops, and sanitation.
but notably yes one would be better off there than at the epicenter of SHTF event.
As for me I have no ability to mobilize financially to another nation in the event. and Imagine most others do not as well. the only way I could see that being a thing is if a “Bed and Breakfast Motel” was set up years prior and in that you could screen those who may have good moral merit to relocate there in the event, as you would be able to rely on certain people to settle and contribute to the betterment of the community upon arrival. you need to think about who your “clan” / neighbors will be. Do not email as I will not answer its a shelled Email address. All coms will be public.
Facebook prepper group. Many food producers. Mostly prairie states region.

My wife and I are looking to form or find a group/tribe/community in the Killeen/Waco/Temple/Austin area.
My family and I are currently living NE Austin looking for property an hour or so outside of the metro for prepper community use. We could make a lengthy stand here in the suburb but it wouldn’t be ideal. We are ready to get back out onto some acreage and for the most part fend for ourselves and our group. What’s your plan.
I have tried twice to post on here and cannot find my post. Is there somewhere I need to join before my post will be seen?
It may not have been approved (expired) or has been removed via the moderator. Some forums are not genuine in their ideologies for prepping. Some are now just wanting to broker your info and email for monetary gain….. not saying this is one of those just saying humans are broken and do stupid shit. or it could simply be an error within the ether of the net. Repost as reply on my comment if my comment shows up as well. Then you will know its simply the interweb..lol
Comments take a bit to show up- there is a moderation queue. The only thing we clear out is spam.
I am wondering if anyone is prepping in the saint cloud Minnesota area? Are there any groups? I have prepared for about a month’s worth of supplies? I need a network and am looking to meet other preppers, who are also Christian. Thanks all!
SHTF event…. get away from the plant in the south east and get out of SC move north west as the jet stream pushes (usually) from that direction and the lack of ….. emotional intellect from the college area via lack of experience will make acts of desperation a problem for you. Yes there is several networks, but are rather clandestine… they don’t act as a collective hive but more a loosely fitted cog, fully detached and independently acting in small cells, I checked in on them a year ago and they have alot going on in the city north of you starting with S. As they are fully aware of the potentiality of Opfor threats that infiltrate information streams like this one. What information do you need to know? They also have a few offroad SUV, rifle, and fishing clubs attached as well if I recall (the 2019-2022 situation has has kinda degraded those clubs though). Good honest people over there. I stay in contact annually with them.
Looking for pepper in Dexter KY area
Have you looked on Meetup.com ? There is a group in Bell County that’s been active for awhile.
Check out prepper.team.
I will not be an identified person in this communication chain, as I have things well built on my end, however….I do want to add to the knowledge archives and sharing (I want to see success with little to no loss of life; innocent or otherwise) as I do know how certain things work and how certain ideas/things do not work….Very similar to Mr. Collins background relevance. I have a background in Engineering as an ME/CE/EE through experience in my field of work in medical device over the last 26 years as a now senior technician, am military oriented from early youth and later being prior service. I believe in tactician of “planning for the worst, hoping for the best”. After doing extensive intellectual “recce” or “recon” I have forecasted that the most likely SHTF scenario will be several degrees less than what most believe will be or are planning for ( but should still plan one should plan and stage for long term sustainability and safety)… with situational exceptions. Humans being the 90% of the variable of that ideology previously stated.
General concept to start is the skills of self sustainment without currently known luxuries…IE- electricity, “clean” water on demand, heating, cooling, nutrition, sanitation, environmental contaminants like aerosol toxins/irradiated particles in PPMs…..all of which can be mitigated and or managed completely with the right knowledge and or precautions for long term sustainment. but thats not the full story as the most flexing and straining bandwidth you will observe is that of the first couple weeks when everything is against you….and I mean everything….bug in or out you will be in dire straights….and many will not survive the extremes of a total SHTF situation, I my self have a very low chance of survival as well. again people are the biggest threat in the initial first weeks then tappers off as time goes on, as population falls. Sorry but realistic expectations creates a stable platform for new ideas. Lone wolves do not survive BTW based on conceptual doctrines of odds and general conduct of a solo persons, as simple as in concepts like if you are injured or ill you now rely on others to aid you but you have not established a network that can render aid to you as needed because your presence is not significant to any and your well being is not monitored for sustainment of life… good nature of humans is nearly non existent in general in the first months of a total SHTF situation, most so in high Pop./per square mile areas like inner cities and skirting suburbs. It is advised to have some degree of a small network to be a part of and to stay within a localized network.
This is just the tip of the iceberg in ideological concepts, as most of this info is fairly well known, in worst case scenarios. most likely though it will be regional civil unrest and not national or global collapse. But should not be discounted in severity or preparedness.
