SARC

SARC (SILO Apocalyptic Resource Community) is a local group to Southern Illinois formed on the SILO (Southern Illinois Outdoors.com) forums. We are attempting to group together in a community fashion and trade information, ideas and skills that will be useful in case society stops working as we know it now. This could be the result of a Solar Flare, Crop Prices getting too high or something worse.

This blog is a way to expand the viability of this community and reach out to others around us that are interested in contributing to our attempt to build a survivalist community in our region. It's also going to act as a sort of 101 for people first getting into Preparedness. There is soooo much to think about when it comes to preparing yourself that it can be overwhelming to someone who has very little exposure, and there is so much information out there in the form of podcasts, forums, webpages, blogs, articles, online books... it's hard to find a place to start. So, I'm attempting to fill that gap. As I move this blog (and soon an accompanying podcast) forward, I will point to other places that have a lot more in depth information on the topics.

If you're local to the St. Clair County, Illinois area and you'd like to join the SARC forum, we do charge a $5 fee, but this is purely to prevent drive-by posters or people who would hassle us pointlessly as so often happens on the internet. We also have a Twitter feed that is localized to our area, but open to anyone, for weather alerts, solar alerts, amber alerts, terror alerts, etc... Please feel free to post comments here if you have input and do not wish to join the forum.
