Prepper Fest & Survival Expo - HELP! (Unabashed Vanity)
Self ^ | 05.13.2015 | dware

Posted on 05/13/2015 1:01:51 PM PDT by dware

I am organizing the first annual "Prepper Fest & Survival Expo" in Grand Junction (Western Colorado), July 25th and am in need of some assistance.

Specifically, I am seeking presenters who can present on a variety of Prepping, Homesteading, Sustainable Living, and general Survival topics. The presentations will be done in a classroom setting @ the venue, complete with A/V setup and PC/Projector. We will have the equipment necessary to do remote presentations, so this is not necessarily limited to those available to be @ the show. Each presentation should last approximately 45 minutes, and include an additional 15 minute segment for Q&A.

In return for presentation, I'm happy to provide as much exposure for the presenter's business, organization, cause, etc., including free table space. I would also LOVE to provide free space in the event that we can secure someone in the area to man a table representing Free Republic!

I would love to hear from FReepers across the Country who may have experience organizing or participating in these types of shows, and any advice you might offer. We are already seeing quite a response from our initial efforts, which have mostly been efforts on Facebook. At present, we do have vendors confirmed from Moab to Denver, and are expecting attendees from all over Colorado. It really is shaping up to be a great event, and I hope you can help make it better!

I live by all of your topics, not as prepping but as a lifestyle and wish I could instruct others in the duty of taking care of one’s self, family and community. Any way that I could promote my book, Stacey’s Quest, about the aftermath of an EMP attack? Wish I could attend the conference.

The US is one of the best-endowed nations in the world, from a natural resource perspective. It is also one of the least densely-populated. It has superior farmland, oil and every kind of mineral needed for industry. And yet it is a font of apocalyptic strategizing closely mirroring scenarios imagined by dystopian science fiction authors starting with HG Wells, over a century ago, in his novel The Time Machine (Elois vs Morlocks). Talk about irony. Still, it was Australia, the Lucky Country, that came up with Mad Max, Mel Gibson’s star-making role.

I am building a little 40M CW 5Watt rig for about $30. I will probably go through three or four kits before I get one that works....

Sanitation.

All the guns, gold, food and ammo in the US won’t be of much use if you are burning the candle at both ends because you haven’t thought through how to get rid of your feces, uneaten food, etc.

I fear disease more than the random thug.

Give me a 10/22 100 rounds of ammo and enough water to cook and keep stuff clean instead of an arsenal that would make a SEAL proud and a ton of ammo with no reliable H2O.

Been talking about this with my wife. I told her I'd rather have a year of TP stocked!

Hi DWare,

I’m the author of the prepping book “When There is No FEMA” (www.nofema.com), and would be happy to provide a remote presentation. The topic I would most like to
cover is “Post-Disaster Survival for the Small Community”.

Message me if interested. You can learn more about me and my book at the nofema link mentioned above.

More people have been killed by microbes than by all of the bad guys in human history put together. Mao has nothing on EColi. The punk looking for trouble is annoying, not having a place to get rid of his body is a lot more dangerous.

Blast it! Timing wise I can’t make it. Topics I would suggest are beekeeping (trade good, sweetener, and beekeepers know the secret of Gardens Gone WIIIILD!!!) I would also suggest disillation of spirits, and home brewing.

Hi, I bought your book and have to say that it has been so helpful. I used the info just a couple of weeks ago to sanitize a well. The info is clearly presented and covers so many areas. Thanks for all your effort in putting it all together.

I wouldn’t do a presentation as that is too much publicity for me - kind of like “Doomsday Preppers” as everyone then knows who you are and what you have.

The prepper articles I wrote on another website have been read 72,563 times as of today. I’ll send you by Freepmail how to get to those articles for anyone to read. If you want to distribute the link to those articles, you can do that if it would help you in any way. I have no connection to any company, I did that for free so people could have the knowledge without having to research it like I did.

I see you have vendors coming so people may buy stuff. Stuff is good if it doesn’t take a loan at the bank to buy. :o)

Do any cities in your area have a CERT program? They might be able to do some presentations.

Great project! I wanted to do the same, but conditions here call for phone and wide but local area commo, too. So more time and costs are required.

For example, people talk about going to Idaho. What part of cold, snow do they not understand? It is easier to go to Mississippi, East Texas, Alabama, etc, where land is relatively cheap, water is relatively plentiful, growing seasons for long-term relocation are much longer, etc.

What I like about being farther north is that the parasitic Obama voters like warm weather. It may be harder to grow your own with the snow and cold in Idaho, but it's a whole lot easier to keep what you grow. Granted, you can "shoot, shovel, and shut up", but you have to be awake and alert to do that. I'd rather have the reduced need to patrol the acreage.

So you can sell Return of the Jedi as a Guerrila DVD. Awesome!
