Alright!,its really great to see that local folks have been into this for a while!...I have been trying to awake people I know and they look at me like I got too much time on my hands.....
Indigo, talking about sitting too long in front of the computer, well there will come a time soon when we might not have a computer to work with.

I have been printing valuable info and been compiling stuff on paper, like the next thing I will print will be the Survival guide that you can find in the resources section. I then have them binded and covered with a plastic sheet protecting it. I think its very important to put things in paper like it was 300 years ago!....we might end up like that in the near futur.
Indigo, 65gb of info is alot to put on paper!...maybe we could organize ourselves to share the printing, if we are due to survive together, makes no sense in having the same info in lots of copies.

Exchanger, I was in Ontario last month in the area of Peterborough, that is another place I was looking at, lots of woods with runnin water, good soil. Its also been ocupied by Natives since a very long time. That might be a place to go.
One other point I would like to make....I think we should have plans for short term survival and long term, I don't think its as critical as tha americans.In my opinion, they have to plan to either go deep in the woods or leave the US...a bit like the guy going to Equador who posted a thread here. He seems very advanced in his plans, he does not have a choice. If they declare marshall law in the US, they are toast, and it seems to be right around the corner.
I dont know if we would have a domino effect here, especially if our own dictator Harper is reelected.
Somehow, I feel that we would have more options here.
So very short term for me, say the serious world happening come soon, we are not prepared for it.
OK, this is a great place to start the gathering of info and making contacts, but if we need to leave Montreal soon,( I think the first thing to do is to leave the big cities), we need to rely on our own resources.
If nothing serious happends for the next 6-8 months, then I say we have a chance of getting a group organized and ready to act.
I don't want to be pessimist about this group here, but we need to individually be ready to be "on our own" if stuff happends fast.

So I got my own plans for short term, i have a 9yrs old daughter, along with her mother and extended family that I would take care of.

Long term prep work, like I said before, Im looking at Abitibi(my parents live there), Ontario around the Peterborough area(some like minded freinds there), or the laurentians( don't know anyone there), but its in the woods, good water and soil.

The last detail ùI would like to mention for now is the time factor...how long would we need to be in survival mode......the thing is, anyone preparing to "camp out" has to realize that someday, we will get out of that mode and come back to "normal living".
Are we talking 4-5 years?...till 2012 when we cross over to 4D?..
Maybe it would be a year or less, just to let the steam and dust fall from the mass cahos of not having electricity and food.
Maybe we would have to avoid mandatory military roundup to go serve WW3....how long could that be?
Lots of questions, I would like to know what you think....

thanks everyone who in contributing here, this is a great start, I think we need to discuss these before we actually start looking for some land, what do you think?
Cheers

OH Cybird, I just saw your rundown of things to do, that seems like the way to go....
