Took me a little longer than I planned to get this questionnaire together. I think it will be a little different for everybody,
as we all have varying views on what to ask potential joiners. Feel free to copy or make suggestions to it. First I will state the
questions, then I'll list some of the reasons for asking. The last 2 are non negotiable, in my opinion.

1. How many are in your group?
2. What are the ages of everyone?
3. Are there any medical issues?
4. What are the skill sets of everybody?
5. What provisions do you have?
6. What bartering items do you have? (which would be extra of provisions or what not)
7. Agree on the basic rules (again, this will vary for everyone)
8. Agree to a quarantine period, outside of the main group.

1. Don't assume person/persons standing in front of you are the only one's asking to join, could be a mob of them hiding out
in the woods or near by. You don't want to say yes to the 1-3 or so and find out when you agree, they signal and you have 20,40 or more
rushing in.
2. Are there babies/children/elderly/disabled/sick, in the group? Not saying that means no, but is your group prepared for the care of
all of these? Do you have formula,diapers,meds, extra. I mean, you kind of are taking on some responsibility of your group.
3. Does anyone have special medical/medication needs. Similar to the above, but expanding to include: insulin,paralyzed,terminal,
serious injuries,somebodies parent/grandparent with dementia, is your group prepared for dealing with these issues.
4. You need to really take stock of the skill sets of your group and see where you need people with those you lack. And that includes
not assuming someone maybe with a disability or elderly, can't or doesn't have the ability to help in some way.
5. Something to take into consideration, if a potential memeber has their own supplies, that will greatly reduce the strain
on the core group.
6. Do they have things to barter with, especially if lacking in needed skill sets.
7. No free rides, especially if they have nothing to offer in either provisions or skills. All will be expected to do all aspects
of work, no matter if you lived a cushy life before and had hired help or are just lazy, you work or out you go.You have the
mindset that something that is asked or required of you, is beneath you or treat others like they should do your work, out you
go.  Mrs. Prepper
