Introduction More Details Other Preparer Goals Introduction

The Preparers are building a network so that no matter what the future brings, everyone connected to this network will always have access to all basic necessities.

More Details

Much has happened in the past few years.  And anything can happen moving forwards.  Because of this we are building a network of individuals in Cincinnati called The Ark Network with the goal of ensuring that no matter what the future brings, everyone connected to this network will have access to all basic necessities:  Food, water, first aid, communication, electricity, transportation, self-defense et cetera.

In order to be effective within crisis situations, this network must be kept as simple as possible.  It consists of three components:  1. Individuals, 2. A method of Communication between those individuals, and 3. A currency.

Each individual within the network contributes either a product, a resource or a skill. 

Because we do not know what storms are coming we must prepare for every scenario.  To that end we identify different levels of scenario, from mild to worst case, and for each level we have a designated method of communication and a designated currency.

Other Preparer Goals

• Acquire prepping supplies for your family
• Create basic kits for non-Order people
• Help find more members for the Ark Network/Order
• Create different disaster/collapse scenario plans
• Prepare your community for each scenario

We will work on these goals as we get more Preparer/Sub Order of Archangel Raphael Members.

Remember we are still a brand new organization.

Intro Contributing Skill Communication Levels Currency Levels Intro

As we gain members the box above will contain the actual Network details.

Here, we will list out all participating members and the skill, resource or product that they will contribute to the Ark Network.  

We will also include contact information for each.  As a prepper network we need to be able to operate under even the worst case situations so in these tabs you will find a communication procedure for each potential scenario including if there is no internet or even no electricity as well as currency procedure for each scenario.

Contributing Skill

Skill Examples: Blacksmith, Mechanic, Carpenter, Electrician, Dentist, Nurse, Doctor

Product Examples: Clothing, Gasifier, Water Filter, Self Defense Items

Resource Examples: Potatoes, Eggs, Carrots, Tomatoes, Beef

Members need to have at least one thing that they contribute to the network.  Members can offer and list more than one item.  However only offer it if you are confident it will be available.

Communication Levels

thesword.com is available = thesword.com

thesword.com is unavailable = email

email is unavailable (no internet or power) = Community Meeting Location (Listed at bottom of this page)

(We will designate a location within each community where Order/Ark Network members can travel to, to meet with other Order/Ark Network members.

Currency Levels

Dollar is available = US Dollar

Hyper inflation or total collapse = Barter or Silver

How it Works

1. First become a member of The Order of Christ.  To do this you simply need to be a Christian man.  Join by clicking sign-up at the top of the page.
2. After joining and getting your profile go to the top of the page, hover over “New Members Group” and click on “The First 100 – Group”.  Join the group and post on the wall that you want to join The Ark Network.
   You can then communicate with the other members of The Order and of The Ark Network.
3. You will pick a product, resource or skill that you will contribute to the network.  Growing potatoes, providing eggs, or maybe you are a carpenter, a mechanic or a doctor.
4. All of the members will be listed on The Ark section of this website along with their contributing product, resource or skill.  (Not full names)
5. The Ark section will also list out the different methods of communication and different forms of currency depending on the scenario.
6. We then work together to involve more and more people with more products, resources and skills.  The more people we can involve, the more robust the network.

After doing these things, in the event of a crisis, everyone connected to the network will have a way to communicate with and trade with many individuals offering many different products, skills and resources.  We will have accomplished our goal ensuring that no matter what happens in the world, those connected to the network will have access to all basic necessities.

As a side note:  When we only have a few entries on the list it may seem impractical to have to travel across town for a basic item.  The goal is to have a robust network with members in each community so that you can find various goods in your local community.

 

Worst Case Community Meeting Locations

Here we will list a real world meeting location in the event that there is no internet access or electricity and the only way to communicate will be in person.
