Flash sale for Preppers University

For those interested in getting a better grounding in preparedness, Preppers University is having an enrollment "flash sale" (use the coupon code "FLASH30" at checkout).

The idea behind Preppers University is to encourage people on the road to preparedness to overcome excuses. (Sometimes you have to follow the old Nike slogan: Just Do It). Students are given weekly assignments, challenges, live webinars, consultations, shopping lists, ebooks, etc. In other words, accountability.

There are two levels of coursework:

• Prepping Intensive: This is 8 weeks long and includes 24 live webinars
• Advanced Intensive: This course is 6 weeks long and delves far more deeply into preparedness

The courses feature a number of noted experts in their field, including:

• Dr. Arthur T. Bradley, EMP expert
• Daisy Luther, author and owner of The Organic Prepper blog
• Lisa Bedford, author and editor of The Survival Mom blog
• Michael Snyder of The Economic Collapse blog
• Author, A American
• Fernando Aguirre (FerFAL)
• Rick Austin and Survivor Jane

You can register here. (They also have payment plans here and here.)

The sale ends Saturday at midnight, so if you're interested, don't delay.

Folks, you know me -- I don't recommend things unless I believe in them. Preppers University is helping a lot of people become much better prepared. Give it a try.

Don't worry, be happy

I receive daily emails from Lisa Bedford and Daisy Luther with Preppers University, offering tips and suggestions for preparedness.

Yesterday's tip was excellent. It went as follows:

---

If preparedness makes you stressed and anxious, you're not doing it right.

The reasons why we prep are many, but it boils down to one philosophy: We want our families to be safe and comfortable if something unexpected happens.

That should be a positive goal, though, not a negative one.

We don't prep because we're "afraid" of everything. We prep so we don't NEED to be afraid of anything.

If your preparedness endeavors are bringing you stress and anxiety you may need to do some thinking. The goal of preparedness is peace of mind, not worry.

Maybe you feel like you started too late. That's absolutely not true. Even if you start this afternoon, you will be further ahead than you were yesterday. You'll be further ahead than your clueless next door neighbor or your ditzy co-worker.

Begin by thinking about what you are preparing for as "the unexpected" instead of "something bad." That can do a whole lot to help you put a positive spin on things.

Then, focus on how far you've come instead of how far you have to go. All of us, Lisa and me (Daisy) included, have so much further we could go if we only had the time and the money.

No one will ever be as prepared as they'd like to be. Prepping for everything is impossible. But every step you take leads you just a little bit further down that path.

Personally, I found this to be an excellent Proverbs 31:25 example.

Flash sale -- Prepper's University

I just learned Prepper's University, started by uber-preppers Lisa Bedford (the SurvivalMom) and Daisy Luther (the Organic Prepper), is having a "flash sale" on sign-ups for the next series of courses.

There are two courses: The eight-week Prepping Intensive and the six-week Advanced Intensive. The whole idea behind this gizmo is personalized preparedness guidance and accountability. Frankly it's an idea long overdue for those who need some assistance in getting their preps started.

According to the website:

Students get immediate access to our Student Resource Center with hundreds of free, downloadable books, additional recorded webinars and classes, and printables.

When classes begin, students receive weekly assignments and challenges, 2-3 live webinars per week, access to an exclusive Facebook group with Lisa Bedford and Daisy Luther, printables, shopping lists, and bonus ebooks. Along with all this training and information, though, they get something no other book, website, or online forum offers — accountability and personal help with their prepping. $99 per class (savings of $40) or $175 for two classes (savings of $103)

PREPPING INTENSIVE: This is 8 weeks long and includes 24 live webinars. All the basics of prepping are covered: water, sanitation, food storage, prepping for natural disasters, health and fitness for survival, creating a survival retreat no matter where you are, and prepping for longterm power outages. This course is the best bargain — students are paying less than $6 to have the chance to chat with experts and authors like Jim Cobb, foraging expert Merriwether, and Fernando Aguirre (FerFAL).

ADVANCED INTENSIVE: This course is 6 weeks long and delves far more deeply into preparedness with topics that include setting up a bartering system, strategizing to earn extra money in order to exit the economy, surviving in a war-torn country, the realities of a survival homestead, and even moving out of the USA. We offered this course last session and it was overwhelmingly popular. It has a few different features, such as DIY projects aligned with each module’s topic, “You Are There” survival scenarios, and a few exclusive, recorded classes in addition to the webinars.

(I'm going to be featured in one of the webinars late in the Advanced Intensive course, specifically Jne 21. More info on the courses can be found here.)

However I was away from home most of the day and didn't find out about this flash sale until quite late, so I urge you to take a peek and see if this is something that might be of interest. Unfortunately the sale price ends Tuesday at noon so there isn't much time. I'm hoping if someone is an hour or two late in signing up, they're still able get the sale price. Just say the dorky woman from Rural Revolution couldn't get her act together and see if that works.

Sorry for the late notice!
