INSTRUCTORS::
Jeremiah Brummitt
Homesteading and Prepping is full of all different facets. Jeremiah will be instructing on raising meat rabbits on the homestead. He will also be having a class on what to have in a bugout bag, or as he likes to call it, a get home bag. Many people have their home well stocked for most unexpected events, however what happens if an emergency hits and you are away from your home? Have you ever thought about how you would get back home if you are hours away from where you live and all of your preps are located in your home? If Hurricane Helen taught us anything, it is that we cannot assume that roads will always be open, that there will be plenty of gas stations available, that cell phones will always be working, and/or that we can always use our debt or credit card. Having a few simple items could be the difference in you making it back to the security of your home.
