Iowa - Official Roll Call & Lounge

[SPECTRE 6 320]

This thread is for people actively searching for a Militia to join. It is also a helpful place for Militias to find individuals wanting to actively train. Post your location and a bit about yourself. Even if you can't run in field OPs you may be useful in other areas.

Hello. I live in North Central Iowa. Looking for a well organized and knowledgeable individual or group to team up with. I've not had much luck locally so I am willing to travel.

Hello, living in central iowa. Been looking for quite some time for a group.

 

Welcome! Every group you will find will be different, as everyone has unique skillsets and personal feelings. It just depends upon your personal style and interests. I can personally vouch for the "Three Percenters - Iowa" group on Facebook. They are a group that cares about individuals and family, while staying motivated to protect the Constitution and personal rights.

okay ill look them up/ do you have to have a facebook to join them? i do not.

[BuryTheHatchet 1,007]

There is a national site to get some of the background and info on us...

http://www.thethreepercenters.org/

 

We do a lot of minor chatting and group news on Facebook. If you let me know what county you are in, I will figure out what zone you live in. Then I can contact the zone lead to get in contact with you. We also have training events and get togethers throughout the year at various places. You are welcome to come out and see what we are about.

[BuryTheHatchet 1,007]

And one does not have to have had any military service or prior training to be involved with us.

awesome, i made a facebook but am unable to load iowas page. im assuming you have to be invited to the group. Im from boone county

[BuryTheHatchet 1,007]

The Facebook group is a closed group. The main page should load though. Make sure it is the "Three Percenters - Iowa" page. You should see a few boxes to the left side of center a little ways down from the top. There is a "JOIN" box to click. You will then be allowed to view the page once you are approved.

You are making me jealous. I have a ton of desire to get back outside and shoot when winter is done and family stuff slows down.

Iowa is filled with great people. Thanks for posting.

If your in or near northern IA I own a 28'x28' steel building on a 1/4 acre, fenced in and I shot handguns there.  Rifles I go to a friends farm.  I am looking for a area that has 400 to 600 meters to do a bit farther out.  I just love to lay on the ground and send rounds down range.

Welcome to the site!

There are several groups in Iowa. Not just militia types, but also plenty of preppers, survivalists, and prepsteaders too. The ones that train together are getting harder to contact due to Facebook cracking down on us. You most likely will have to know someone personally to get into the groups, otherwise be prepared for a wait while someone contacts to you for a vetting process.

Welcome as well!

The advice given in the post above applies to you also. The Iowa City area has lots of groups within an hour drive.

[BuryTheHatchet 1,007]

Iowa also has a pair of great guys that offer survival training as a weekend business. Check them out on Facebook as "Solo Adventures Outdoor Skills and Survival School."

Guys, I found that MeWe works well as a replacement for FB. Nice App works like FB and Messenger combined. Might be a resource....lots of good info there too!

I just started a food growing group on MeWe: https://mewe.com/join/edible_plant_growing

Hope this helps!  MJ
