Strategy for Building Local Networks

• https://www.coreysdigs.com, By Jude Rose

Building a local network is one of the aspects of our reality we can control. Many of us have realized the importance of building relationships with those around us. We don't have to face the future alone, and we don't need the federal government to provide for us, we can rely on each other! But where do we start? 

When it comes to building a local network, being shy is not an option! It's time to put yourself out there and discover people you can align with, and potentially depend on in the future. Forget politics for just a moment. We are all human beings with the same basic needs, and one day we may need to work together in order to meet those needs. Outside of social media and the internet forums is a whole community available for you to tap into. 

One of the many benefits of building a local network is feeling secure about the future. When we come together and get to know each other, we can lean on the community in times of crisis. Getting to know the community around you and building a sense of trust at the very least can bring you peace of mind. There are so many ways to begin networking locally. Imagine you're creating your own town. What would that town need to operate? What kinds of people need to be available for others to rely on? 

Consider

• A medic, or someone well versed in first aid and emergency medical procedures

• A hunter, who knows how to use an array of weapons and hunt local game

• A chef/butcher, someone who understands how to prepare local wildlife for consumption

• A gardener, skilled in growing crops and recognizing local plants

• A builder, an expert in construction and/or architecture that can design and provide sound shelter
