A long-term survival group cannot be built on vague promises and last-minute arrivals. In a short emergency, opening the door to relatives, neighbours, and friends may be manageable. In a prolonged collapse, every additional person changes the mathematics of survival. They consume food, water, fuel, medicine, sleeping space, and human attention. They also bring labour,…
Repairing What Can No Longer Be Replaced During the early stages of a major collapse, stored supplies carry much of the load. Spare parts come off shelves, damaged equipment is replaced with working equipment, and bins of new hardware keep repairs moving. Eventually, those supplies begin to disappear. The last replacement hinge is installed. The…
Turning Motivation Into Practical Preparedness There is a certain kind of energy that comes from spending several days around other preparedness-minded people. Whether it is a formal event, a camping weekend, a course, a workshop, or just time spent talking with people who understand the lifestyle, it can be both encouraging and overwhelming. You come…
After a long journey home from Preppers Meet 2026 and a much needed full night’s sleep, I’d like to take one more day off from posting articles and instead take a moment to personally thank a few people that made this event possible. Primrose Park Campground: Rose and Nancy were so welcoming and accommodating. We…
A Weekend Of Skills, Community, And Real Preparedness Preppers Meet has never been just about sitting in a chair and listening to someone talk. It is about showing up, meeting people who take preparedness seriously, learning something useful, and leaving with a better sense of what you actually need to work on next. Before anything…
A Full Day Of Skills, Presentations, Demonstrations, And Community Saturday at Preppers Meet is shaping up to be a full day of learning, hands-on skills, practical demonstrations, and community time. Today’s lineup brings together a wide range of preparedness topics, from personal readiness and outdoor skills to communications, water, security, and real-world self-reliance. Whether you…
Knowledge Becomes Preparedness Only When You Put It Into Practice Walk through any preparedness event and you will see tables full of impressive gear. Radios, water filters, first aid kits, knives, solar equipment, food preservation tools, emergency lighting, and enough gadgets to fill a trailer. There is nothing wrong with buying quality equipment. Good gear…
Self-Reliance Also Means Handling Minor Disagreements Like An Adult Preparedness attracts independent people. That is one of its strengths. We value self-reliance, personal responsibility, practical skills, and the ability to solve problems without waiting for someone else to step in. That same mindset should apply to minor disagreements. Whether you are camping with friends, travelling…
The generators, saws, pumps, tillers, and tractors you already own are only useful if they still run when parts, fuel, and repair shops become scarce. Modern preparedness spends a lot of time talking about food storage, water filtration, radios, batteries, and security. All of that matters. But on a working homestead, small engines quietly sit…
The tools that still work when batteries, fuel, and generators stop being enough Most people think of energy preparedness in terms of adding more power. More solar panels. Bigger batteries. Larger generators. Extra fuel cans. Portable power stations. Inverters. Extension cords. Charge controllers. Backup chargers. There is nothing wrong with any of that. A good…
