Emergency Preparedness
We host emergency preparedness meet-ups every 3 weeks for those who are interested in learning more about being prepared for disasters and other emergencies. Whether you’re a prepper or just someone with an interest in learning useful skills for the outdoors or tough economic times, we welcome you to come check things out. The meet-ups focus on skills you need to meet emergency situations or disasters as well as basic survival and firearms related skills. They are free, open to the public and non-political. We hope to bring you a wide variety of interesting topics to discuss and skills to learn. The meet-ups are held on Tuesday evenings, from 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm. Bring something to take notes with and a friend or family member…or several!

When it’s time to grab your bag and go, you want to make sure you have the right kit to survive. What size of pack (or other carrying bag) should you use? What should you include to make sure you can survive the initial 72 hours in an emergency or crisis situation and make it to safety?
