The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life by Ben Sherwood

Here's a club everyone wants to be a member of. It's probably human nature to wonder if you have what it takes to survive in a tumusut, earthquake or economic chaos. This thought-provoking book not only profiles dozens and dozens of people who have done just that, it also gives you a way to grade yourself on your likely survivorship, and tips on how to raise your score.

The three rules of the Survivors Club, according to author Ben Sherwood, are that everyone is a survivor, one person's crisis can't be compared to another's, and people are stronger than they know. Attitude has a lot to do with it. If you see yourself as a survivor, you'll likely be one.

The book takes into account scientific research and true life stories of those who've escaped death narrowly to determine what, exactly, makes people resilient to adversity and how to learn from them. On the website you'll find a quiz that will give you your personal Survivor Type and you'll learn what strengths you have and how to use them in a disaster.

Why the Oregon Coastal Peaceful Preparers were formed

People who live along the Oregon Coast have the ever present of a earthquake and Tsunami. Since the Chile earthquake, the "experts" predict it will happen off the Oregon Coast, the question is when.

As highway 101 runs along the Oregon Coast, it crosses many bridges. If a couple of these bridges were to be washed out, some people on the Oregon Coast would be isolated. This and the possible of an economic collapse has been the reason the Peaceful Preparers of the Oregon Coast were formed.

What is a Peaceful Preparers Safety Center

A Peaceful Preparers Safety Center is a location to withdraw to in time of crises. A Peaceful Preparers Safety Center is designed to have a high degree of teamwork. It will have no permanent community, but would only expand in time of crises.

The members of a Peaceful Preparers Safety Center typically hold a common vision, that is not based on religion, politics or economics.

The vision for the Safety Center is for a Quality Survival.

You can be part of the Oregon Coastal Safety Center

There is no permanent community living at the Center. Some people may camp for long periods of time, but there is no permanent housing. You must provide your own housing, but there are no camping fees. You work for your camping rights.

The Safety Center only purpose is a place to withdraw in time of economic collapse, not to build a permanent community.

How can you participate?

1. Attend our fall meeting at Eagle Crest Resort, Bend Oregon. There is no cost to attend. There are no fees, dues or costs to be part of the Center.
2. Plan to visit the Center and spend time there. You can Tent Camp, 5th Wheel, or RV. It is “dry” camping along the side of the river. You can fish all you want, but you have to “pay” for you stay by working on some Self Reliance project
3. Pick a Project you have the Skill, Talent, Attribute or Gift to complete. We have the money; we just need your time and energy.

Freedom Through Teaching Others Self Reliance by Doing

Anticipating long periods of time without commerce. A Peaceful Preparers Safety Center places a strong emphasis on logistics and resources. A Peaceful Preparers Safety Center amasses stockpiles of supplies for it own use, for charity, and for barter. Frequently cited key logistics for the withdraw retreat include long-term storage food, medical supplies, tools, gardening seed, and fuel.

A Peaceful Preparers Safety Center location parameters include:

1. Light population density
2. Plentiful water
3. Arable soil
4. Good solar exposure for gardening and photovoltaic
5. Situation above any flood plains
6. Diverse and healthy local economy
7. Mild Climate - not too hot - not too cold

Fearing rioting, looting and other unrest, Peaceful Preparers Safety Center advocates select withdrawn locations that are more than one tank of gasoline away from any major metropolitan region and not in close to major highways or on anticipated "refugee lines of drift."

One of the key goals of a Peaceful Preparers Safety Center is to be self-sufficient for the duration of the collapse. To that end, plentiful water and arable soil are paramount considerations. But just behind these comes isolated, defensible terrain.

The Peaceful Preparers Safety Center will rely on keeping a well-stocked retreat, and plan to go there "at the 11th hour", as necessary. They keep a bug-out bag handy, and may have a dedicated bug-out vehicle (BOV). This is a vehicle that the owner keeps prepared in the event of the need for an emergency evacuation. Typically a BOV is equipped with a variation on the bug-out bag that includes additional automotive supplies, clothing, food and water.

Peaceful Preparers favor four wheel drive trucks and SUVs due to their greater off-road abilities. Peaceful Preparers may opt into maintaining an older vehicle since it most likely lacks critical electronic components that would be hard to repair and would not be "fried" by the an electromagnetic pulse.

The Oregon Coastal Peaceful Preparers Safety Center

The Oregon Coastal Peaceful Preparers have found such a location. It is 80 acres. We are in the process of developing it. It has a large supply of water, but presently it is pumped by public electric power. We are studying how to convert the water supply to be “off the grid,”

The cleared land is the Oregon Coastal Center's 80 acres. There is one mile of river frontage. The River is 100 feet wide and there is plenty of summer and winter Steelhead and Salmon.
Fishing and swimming holes are plentiful along this stretch of the river. Temperatures at this Center are usually 15 to 20 degrees warmer than in the coastal towns, and it is less windy. The dense forests and surrounding mountains make the Center a lovely place to live and visit.

Coast Oregon Peaceful Preparers have food storage, and water treatment tools. They have prepared themselves psychologically for disasters will be able to help in several ways. They understand their Survivor Talents, Attributes and Gifts. (TAGs) They know and how to use their Survivors TAGs and appreciate the TAGs of others associated with the Safety Center .

1. They're less likely to become refugees or use the time/resources of first responders.

2. Since they ARE prepared for disasters, they can help the people in their immediate area which will lessen the load on first responders and reduce the number of refugees.

3. They help helping themselves and their neighbors, Peaceful Preparers will increase the quality of care for people who DO end up still needing first responder care or to relocate to a refugee Safety Center.

The more Peaceful Preparers that we have, the more stable our families, cities, and the country as a whole will be.
