Description

In this multifaceted instructional program given by Jeff Gottlieb, we will talk about plans everyone should have in place BEFORE an emergency happens.

Cost: $25 per person

Please bring a food dish for everyone to share for the Potluck dinner while we continue discussion.

In the course of the class we'll examine Jeff's "Bug Out Bag" and discuss how to use the items and why they are in there. We will also learn how to make your own personalized emergency pack.

We will cover possible situations that might happen and what can be done to prepare for them.

We also will explore important questions like...

  • What primitive and modern skills will be valuable?
  • What goods and materials should I keep on hand?
  • How do I preserve what wealth I have?
  • How will I eat if food is not shipped to supermarkets?

During the afternoon workshop, we'll cover Jeff's priorities. After the Potluck dinner we'll keep the discussion going freestyle. Jeff ensure that a lot of very important issues will come up!

More than a lecture and a demonstration, Jeff hopes this class will spark good discussion and motivate people to learn new, powerful skills.

There will be a trading blanket immediately after the class. Bring your spare items to trade with the group.
