One of the biggest problems faced by preppers is the whole ‘OPSEC’ and group building thing. Finding decent people out there. That is one of the main obstacles to preparing for any of the ‘post-collapse’ tactics that we all talk about, and that I promote/ train: you need TEAM. Whether for defending a retreat or a subdivision, or fighting foreign enemies, you can’t do it without team.
First you need decent people.
Then you need to train to an acceptable standard.
The combination of those two things will give you a chance of producing a TEAM: it’s an ongoing evolution – conducting effective training will in itself help select and bond the team, while good training can also have character building effects on people.
