The Denver Prepper Expo
We also talked a bit about the Self Reliant expo here in Colorado this past week and what it was like. There was a lot of cool stuff there, too much for my budget. But what impressed me the most was how everyone there was an average everyday person, I didn’t see one tin foil hat…go figure.
If you get a chance go to one of these expos, it could also be a great way to meet other preppers in your area.
Contest Winners
I want to say congratulations to David for winning the AR15. We did the live drawing on Veterans Day and David is a 10 year Vet.
Academy Update
I mentioned in the podcast that I have been slacking a little bit on updating the Academy members about what we are adding. Here are some of the things we have planned for this month…
- Working on the First Aid Course (hopefully completing it)
- Threats Assessment Members content.
- And a contest for members only before Christmas.
- Restructuring of the Prepping 101 course.
Anyone who is interested can join the Academy here.

That picture of the ice-covered car is insane. I’d be calling in and telling my boss he wouldn’t see me for a week. I’m not sure how you could de-ice it safely.
