Severe trouble ahead, community suggestions to get through

Just got home from the Self Reliance EXPO. Collected lots of info. Nothing that new for me, but my wife and I have been doing most of this for about 14 yrs. now. Good for those new to the concept of self reliance though.

Thanks for all the links. All really good.

Heartless could you share some of the highlights from the self reliance expo. Thanks.

I didn't attend any of the speaker events, so no comments there. The majority of vendors were either local (Colorado) or Utah and Idaho. There were only a couple survival oriented booths and they were items like folding shovels (entrenching tool), knives, and backpacking/ camping gear. One also offered training. One had rain water capture tanks and plans. One had ATVs including track drive systems. Many food and storage vendors. Sprouting, herbs and honey vendors. Several water filtration vendors. Portable and permanent solar and wind power vendors. Following is the link for the event. Also a couple radio stations and web broadcast sites.

I didn't sign up for either National Geographic or Discovery channel auditions.

CB just made me realize I forgot to mention a bulk and silver coin dealer.

PM me if you want more specific info.

Here is a link to a video by one of the presenters at the expo.

There are several others as well, I'll post more if people are interested.

Another one geared towards earthquakes in California, but the basics remain the same.

the second is more to general food, water, tools, etc.

And finally, closer to home videos. There are some good sidebar videos as well.

This one may be more related to a climate change thread but the videos and audio are very informative.
