Any advice?
Enough guns and more than enough ammo.....then get MORE ammo.
Ewok vs Stormptrooper battle tactics...: )
Will you be recording all the demos and having them available for viewing for people who are not in the area?
Communication. How and why radio comes are important, how to use them and why they are critical in “standard” emergencies. In other words, it is important to know how to do this stuff even if tEOTWAWKI doesn’t happen.

New Tech (like Telsa’s Battery)
Old tech (like a 7000w generator and how to use properly)
Snipercraft.
Sounds like a great idea. I wish I still lived in Colorado. I am sure you’ll get plenty of Western Slopers instead of dopers from Boulder.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Western CO event, that is drawing statewide attention! Any advice?
The importance of having hard copies of How To books or instructions.
Prepping on a tight budget.
Looking at alternative prep uses of items that might be on their way to the trash or forgotten about in the back of the closet.
Organization to you don’t have to worry about where’s what when seconds count.
Very excited! I got home last night to a phone call from the local rep for the Colorado Trapper’s Association. Ultimately, he has agreed to come down and do a demonstration on beaver trapping & skinning, and will go through edible parts of the beaver, the usable parts and discuss the history of beaver trapping in Colorado (hint: it’s the reason CO exists today)!
