Preppers and recent media interest on Prepping

Prepping has seen a large spike in interest lately with several shows on cable TV networks currently on the air. From our own <a href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/author/phil801/">Phil Burns</a> on <a href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/2012/02/episode-1-animal-planet-meet-the-preppers-my-pink-gun/">"Meet the Preppers"</a> to <a href="http://www.deepearthbunker.com/">Doomsday Bunkers</a> to <a href="http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/doomsday-preppers/">Doomsday Preppers</a>, interest in people preparing for hard times is at what seems like an all time high. Our <a href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/2012/03/today-showpreppers/">recent post</a> on Prepper coverage on <a href="http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/46625691#46625691">NBCs Today Show</a> is just one example.

I'd like to give a huge thanks to author Wade (<a title="Wades company." href="http://anavidesign.com " target="_blank">anavidesign.com</a>) who has given his time to help provide us with a new site design!  For those reading this from Facebook, RSS, or other means, please head on over to the site and check out the kicking new design.  And if you need work for your site, well check him out, since I'm sure he wants to buy some more preps :)

Some First-Aid Kit Examples

<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1397" title="firstaidkits" src="/images/uploads/2009/02/firstaidkits.jpg" alt="firstaidkits" width="280" height="153" />First-Aid Kits are kind of a funny prepper item - there are SO many that you can just go buy that it doesn't seem like a big deal.  Yet, countless people I know barely have a box of band-aids in their home.  Those who do go purchase a pre-made First-Aid Kit don't typically pay much attention to it - it's crossed of their 'list'.  But day to day use of the only medical supplies in the house means that after a year or so the First-Aid Kit is severely depleted and nobody notices until there's a need for it.

Hi everybody, I'm <a href="http://www.connorboyack.com">Connor</a>. I've been participating in the comments here for a while, and was finally convinced to dedicate some more time to this blog during <a href="/2009/01/inauguration-day-utah-preppers-first-meetup/">last night's meetup</a>.  I'm a big fan of all things preparedness, and while I'm not the stereotypical rugged outdoor type, I try to dabble in enough things to diversify my talents and be adequately prepared for any potential TEOTWAWKI scenario.

In an effort to help recognize some of the great preparedness bloggers out there, and help people find some of the other great resources on the web, I'd love to introduce folks to a blogger I've been reading for a while now. <a title="Riverwalkers Profile" href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911">Riverwalker</a> maintains a couple of blogs himself, the <a title="Riverwalkerr's Stealth Survival Blog" href="http://stealthsurvival.blogspot.com/">Stealth Survival</a>, and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://riverwalkerssurvivalgear.blogspot.com/">Riverwalker's Survival Gear</a>.

Learn To Use The Forum

The UtahPreppers site is our attempt to help make our personal experiences in preparedness a little easier for people to learn from.  Some people like going beyond this simple site to intertact more often, and a popular tool for this is a forum.  Now instead of going out and hosting our own form, we felt it better to work with others in this matter.  Because of the nature of our state, we have been giving our support to two separate forums out there, <a href="http://ldspreppers.com">ldspreppers.com</a> and the <a href="http://americanpreppersnetwork.net/">APN forum</a>.  Obviously the LDS Preppers forum encourages a community with a religious focus, for our LDS readers. But also we collaborate with the rest of the American Preppers Network, and have a channel on their for <a href="http://americanpreppersnetwork.net/viewforum.php?f=80">Utah specific discussions</a>.
