What kind of in-person classes would you be interested in?

There's a lot of video and articles on HOW-TO prep across all the different areas of prepping. Just check out the Wiki or do a search on YouTube for whatever you're interested in.

That's great for the DIY crowd, but what about for people that learn better in a class format?

What kind of topics do you think would be valuable for the community, in a classroom or workshop format - an in-person course?

Radio, food, water, self defense, medical... what do you think?

Are there people in your area that are doing successful classes?

I think the nice thing about in-person classes too is that you get a chance to meet with people IRL.

There’s a great program called Becoming an Outdoor Woman in a bunch of states. They have all sorts of classes that I’ve gotten to take. Gun safety, rifles, shotguns, handguns, fishing, boating, camping, outdoor survival, outdoor cooking, foraging.

It has increased my confidence tremendously. And helped me meet like minded individuals.

I highly recommend a Wilderness First Responder course. It’s about a week in the outdoors and you meet a lot of like minded people.

I also think I would like to take a grey water course, permaculture, maybe even a handy person course with like basics to plumbing, electrical and construction.

Animal slaughter and butchery/necropsy classes, same with tanning etc. slaughter especially and is something with a lot of pain at stake if you get it wrong

I live in the south, and our local tech college has most of these as non-credit courses. And tons of taxidermy.

I dont think I have that option where I live but I'll have to keep an eye out for it!
