Prepper Camp 2020 - September 25-27, 2020

[RWS]

  Prepper Camp 2020 is now Sold Out!

Due to current Covid-19 Restrictions, and associated limitations on capacity, and social distancing requirements, Prepper Camp 2020 tickets are now sold out.  (The event will go on as scheduled, just a little more spread out.) There will be temperatures taken PRIOR to receiving tickets at registration, and anyone with a fever will not be allowed entry. So, if you are sick, stay home.  If you are not, and if you currently have tickets, bring masks/face coverings, and respect social distancing requirements. We understand that this is not “ideal”, but then again, what has been since this whole Covid-19 event has happened?

Sucks that tickets are sold out.     I just learned that I would be able to attend but no tickets available!

[ProGeek]

I'm just glad they haven't canceled it.

You lucky, lucky people that get to go.  I would have a tough time choosing what to attend.  Most of it looks really good!  Hope you can share with those of us that could not attend.  Thor and I were looking forward to it all year, but did not sign up due to the virus and our ages.  Maybe next year, this will all be behind us and we will be some of the first to get out tickets!

[ProGeek]

Seems like the food truck selection is down. Time to pack a lunch!

[YellowRose]

If anyone discovers at the last minute that they can't go, I will gladly buy your ticket. 

[ProGeek]

If you are going next week, post here so we can arrange to meet up.

[Lilburner]

If anyone discovers at the last minute that they can't go, I will gladly buy your ticket.

Per the Twitter account, tickets are being bought and sold on Facebook.

"If you have purchased tickets that you would like to sell at the face value you purchased them at OR interested in purchasing their ticket(s) please post to Prepper  Camp Facebook Page THEN "PM" one another."

I've missed a few things since I was last on here.  I plan on going, ProGeek.  I'm bringing a friend of mine that I brought last year.  We're in spot P1, if I wrote it right way back when I reserved it.  It's the third year for me and second for him.  I assume he's using the same small tent he used last year and I have a small one as well.  If anyone needs a camping spot (tents), I think we're allowed 3 tents - we had 3 last year since his kid had his own.  The kid can't make it this year.

I'm up for sharing meals.  We're closer to the action than Lilburner, so quick lunches can be shared near us.  Oh - very important tip, this is very fast paced.  Don't expect a lot of down time.  You're in class all day, quick lunch, quick dinner, speaker after dinner until going to bed pretty spent.  Don't plan any elaborate meals.  Now's the time to try out the dehydrated meals or snack foods that don't take 45 minutes to prepare and 30 minutes to clean up - you don't have that much time.

Lilburner had a lot of good tips.  You're own chair is a must in my book.  Their chairs get very uncomfortable by the middle of the first day, and I have a lot of padding.  I just took notes on classes.  I'm happy to share them afterwards.  Pay attention to the classes.  Some of the speakers have other things going on in their lives or emergencies that pop up, so they only do the first day or two days.  I'd say to do your must-haves first. The hosts are the Secret Garden/Greenhouse, and Survivor Jane classes - so there's a very good bet that they'll be there on the third day.  I loved his classes! She's a great speaker too. Her topics were interesting, but not "Holy smokes! When I build a house, this is what I want to expand on!"

Upacreek,  We are near you  P3 and looking in you tent door.  We have a big awning on the camper and I am bringing the picnic table topper and extra chairs.  Most of our food will be precooked so all we have to do is warm it up.  We are supposed to have electricity and the camper has a microwave.  We are bringing a big bowl of chicken salad and a pack of small buns for quick lunches.  I can even make morning coffee as we are early risers.

I liked the campgroud web page where they have pictures of the campsites so I have already spotted our campsite.

[Lilburner]

Anyone got their class schedule picked?

Looks like a lot of new ones.

One old one I didn't go to was "10 mistakes". Anyone been to that one?

Definitely need knots.

One from last year that was one of my favorites unexpectedly was Privacy and Security. That's the one where the guy showed how to access the internet and even buy from Amazon without leaving a footprint - even the delivery untraceable.

I'm fascinated by wild edibles, but not sure I'll go. Because I suck at it. Been to a half dozen classes and still couldn't identify anything. Maybe if I had a book in my pack.

Might go to Q anon because I still don't understand what the heck they are. Best I can come up with is they're "Perhaps overly zealous about identifying child predators and they at some point will reveal some big secret that will change everything, but haven't yet". But somehow they're "a danger to America".

The machete and stick combat classes could be fun, but I'm pretty much planning on going the Indiana Jones route for an attack with a handheld weapon.

"Upacreek, I'm up for sharing meals.  We're closer to the action than Lilburner, so quick lunches can be shared near us. "
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We also are willing to share.  The wife grilled a slab of ribs, cooled them and sliced off individual ribs.  They were individually wrapped so we can thaw out the required number and then just heat up.  She is making a mashed potato casserole, so we can spoon out a serving and warm up.  Baked beans for a veggie.  The microwave should speed things up. Musical fruit!  Then there will be a desert of course something with blueberries, probably a coffee cake.  Coffee & blueberry coffee cake sounds good for breakfast.
We will be bringing a bowl of chicken salad and pack of small buns for lunch sandwiches.  Wife calls them slider buns.  We will have an extra rotisserie chicken in the freezer and a steak or two in the freezer.  We will be bringing 3 loaves of bread in the freezer, banna, blueberry and chocolate zucchini.  We like to eat well when camping.....See You there.

RWS - Why aren't you people 400 pounds each???  My friend I'm bringing lured me into his keto cult last October.  My M&M lunch notwithstanding, I need to get back on that wagon.  I was 50 pounds down and felt way better!  I was planning eggs and bacon or sausage for breakfasts, chicken salad or tuna for lunch and some meat - steak or kielbasa for dinner.  Obviously, yours sounds infinitely superior.  Ribs or chicken wings sound awesome and they're good cold too. 

One very important tip I forgot - IF you are going Friday - be sure to attend your favorite classes.  If it's your favorite, chances are it'll be everyone's favorite and Friday is the deadest day since some people just come Saturday and Sunday. 

My tentative schedule:
Friday:
Machette Combat
Blacksmithing
Stick Combat
Tomahawk Throwing
Off Grid Perim Security
Rabbit Colonies
Aquaponics

Saturday:
Getting Off Grid - Now
Physical Security
Who is Qanon
Geothermal Energy
Wild Food Gardening
Pandemic Survival
You're the Veterinarian

Sunday:
Dutch Oven Cooking
Wild Edible Survival
Using Fibers
Primitive Wilderness
Medical Martial Law
DC Power - Lights On
Making Soap 101

All are subject to change since they're still adjusting the schedule.  There's a wine class added for those that like wine. It's every day at 5:15 at the beach tent.
