A few years ago a couple of guys attempted to start a local zombie squad chapter, we met once a month and it was mainly a forum for a couple of army buddys to get together and talk and alienate others that were not up to their prepping level. I was a newb back then and felt out of place I tried to catch up but got discouraged after a while and left. Well the other day I bumped into someone else that attended for a while and they advised me that it eventually fizzed out because of loss of interest. They gave me a recruiting card for Z.E.R.T. or zertnation and says its different. ive looked into it somewhat but you have to join and pay $40 dues before you can even see their forums and I don't know if I want to invest in something that I wont get anything in return. anyone have experience with these folks, or any other local prepper coop?
