We already have sectors, so members should be able to see who is in there area with the posts on those sectors and the map. I think more members need to place there "pin" on the map.
This kinda ties in the the rally point threads I've seen scattered around.
Here in Sector 6 there has been discussion about a meeting place for some time. No one has contributed much lately.
(BTW...if any in sector 6 is reading this, I (and others) suggested Pinchot Lake Park...for many reasons).

Don, the thing about the sectors is that any Tom, Dick or Criminal can register and go read this stuff. I would make a forum that say..... only members with 25 posts or greater will get allowed into. That way, active and participating members can post thier zip, but registered lurking thieves..... who know every one of us here owns thousands of dollars in firearms... can't see that Larry is in whatever town my zipcode relates too. Cause if you went to my town and starting asking about some guy named Larry with guns... your going to find me easy enough. For now, some guy in Beaver county named Larry has guns.... that is a pretty large pool to pick from.

I never even considered the map and how bad of an idea that is. It pretty much tells every thieving, murdering convict where to go to score the best loot.

Yeah, it's a fine line between not enough info and too much info. Too many rules and there is not enough participation, too lax of rules and everyone (including those you do not want to) are getting involved.
Hopefully more people will jump in on this thread and we can figure out a good way to solve this issue.
I'm for a private forum, but not sure on what requirements would need to be met for a person to be allowed in....

1. Meet folks, face to face at group shoots/local dinner meetings.
2. Exchange phone numbers and emails with those local to you. When you have free time, BS about this and that, make some basic plans and rally points. Go for hikes with your newfound 'crew', mock bug outs, and plenty of range trips.
3. ???
4. Profit!

As far as cooperative efforts of the PAZRT as a whole...I'd fall back on picking three or four 'Sector Embassadors' from each area, and let them hash out a system on the down-low. 'SE's can then report back to the unwashed masses in their sectors, and fill them in over a hearty meal of BBQ and bacon.

Yeah, did the first three. Haven't done the forth, but we are saving money together and a penny saved is a penny earned. The BBQ and bacon sounds awesome, and can only be washed down properly with beer. Getting more involved in your sector thread helps, too, by the way.

Honestly, I'm all for it, too. I'll get together with the admins, and get something going.

We're actually thinking of a way to implement this....give us a few days and something will be up.

I look forward to hearng further information. Disaster (zombie) preparedness is definitely something to take seriously.
