Preparedness 101 Workshop

A first-timer's afternoon: building a 72-hour kit, basic first aid, and a home emergency plan. Small group, hands-on, no sales pitch.

Book

No-show policy: booking a spot means someone else can't. If you don't show up without cancelling in advance, your payment isn't refunded. Cancel at least 15 days before the event for a full refund — that gives organizers time to find someone else for your spot. Cancellations closer to the event, or no-shows, aren't refunded.

Who it's for

Complete beginners. If you already have a kit and know first aid, this one will feel basic — the club's members-only field exercise is the next step up.

What to bring

  • Comfortable clothes — you'll be on your feet and packing a bag
  • A notebook, or use the printed planner we hand out
  • Nothing else — kit contents and materials are provided

Led by

Run by prepping.club's own instructors — the same people behind our field manual and the club's training sessions, not outside contractors.
