Ham or CB radio would be my guess. It would take time for communications infrastructure to shut down I think, a few days if not weeks.

Not that it would matter at that point, but I'd say the most effective way would be Hometown.
Through Hometown, you can interact with members in state, in county, in city, and on your block. The longest-posting/most-respected members from each state would most likely know a way of contacting their counterparts in other states. There would be a huge loss of people simply through apathy and fear, but there would be a core with a heartfelt love of ARFCOM and freedom who would use their member contacts to pass information. However, pretty much everyone in Team would be rounded up immediately (self-included), and only a handful would escape the purge, most likely not enough to form a ARFCOM-based resistance. Uh, Wolverines and stuff?

All tinfoil and koolaid aside, I think it's a legitimate concern that if the time came where the govt. shut down arfcom and all major pro-gun boards and forums to try and stop us from organizing and communicating for necessity of liberating America once again, how would we go about organizing and communicating with eachother. Not that I think this is remotely possible, but hypothetically, if arfcom and many others shut down tomorrow, how would we get organized? Are there any mass email storages with members addresses? How would we really organize and communicate? Arguing by telegraph is like winning the special olympics.......... 
No seriously if you didn't have their info before the massive lockdown, we would have to infiltrate WOW or the Pez forums, and use code. |

I stop by from time to time to see what the dumb asses are up to. When the SHTF hopefully they did a little planning because their few cans of canned food and 2 boxes of ammo won't last them an afternoon. You best bet is to buy as much gear, guns, ammo, food as possible and make a plan with locals who are also intrested in surviving a SHT sernerio. Folks on my block are well covered. We have a plan in place......you are more then welcome if you have something to bring to the table. |

Because every internet tough guy really doesn't want to face reality. The hotpocket still has 1 minute to go and they will be unwrapping the pre-feeding twinkies while watching the new release of WALLY. Suddenly the power and internet are gone. The never will happen fantasy just came true, now what? Most Americans can't cook their own meals, can't start a fire without a bic lighter. They wouldn't be able to hack a SHTF senario for 5 minutes before their demise. So really these people, a 400lb old guy, they have 25K in ammo ( shoot less than 100 rds per year) and a semi automatic rifle that some how being in possesion of this magical weapon will turn them into a HSLD fighter. These are internet pipe dreams and nothing more, they really don't deserve a serious answer. Thats why 90% of us never take these underground resistance threads seriously. Someone that truly is fighting for freedom in a urban warfare battlefield or Red Dawn foreign invasion, won't be doing it from a computer posting on forums looking for a meeting place. |

I like tinfoil theorys. Because 1 out of 100 turns out true, or a shade of the truth. For example, the doomsday scenarios. I think, that a financial collapse of the US economy is very possible. Because 1) It happens to every nation eventually 2) It has happened to us before.
So add to a financial collapse the new cultural reality of our nations diversity/balkinization, there is a reasonable chance for regional violance and conflict over scarce resources. Top it off with psychopaths or bands of psychopaths (la raza, panthers, kkk) engaging in random violence. It is also possible that a major depression would bring out the best in some people, and tighten our unity as a nation and a renewed commitment to traditional values. I do not see this as the end, but a "reset push". Might take months, maybe years, but think the nation would rebuild with a renewed dedication to the Constitution. So getting back to the original point... maybe I need to learn HAM radio. But.. can't the black helicopters triangulate on my position with HAM?

It appears that even you have recognized that some here think your question was stupid. If it makes you feel any better. I don't think it or you are stupid. (Stupid as in a measure of cognitive ability.) I do however think it shows an overactive imagination. Voice radio (Ham, CB, GPRS, etc) is however the most logical answer as it is the just about the only method not easily interrupted by the dark forces of the evil overlords. CW is better but most of us are extremely rusty in that skill, and most people have neither the time nor inclination to become proficient. |

If a natural disater occurs, I, like many others, are going to seek a group to get with for mutual benefit (survive & thrive). National uprising... there will need to be coordinated efforts to achieve goals on a national level. Either way, without some form of communication you will be lost.
