Provo Pioneer Crafting Fair
<a href="/images/uploads/2011/06/IMG_6523.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3762" title="IMG_6523" src="/images/uploads/2011/06/IMG_6523-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>Looking for a chance to get the family out into our delayed summer? Provo has a great event this weekend at their pioneer village (<a title="Provo Pioneer Village" href="http://goo.gl/maps/35YC" target="_blank">map</a>). It's a great chance to get demonstrations on some old skills such as spinning, blacksmithing and more. Bring the family even if only just to get a feel for the local history, but even better, hang around and talk shop with people experienced in their crafts. This is probably one of the better local opportunities to get together with people that can teach these crafts.

72 Hour Kit Camp - More Info
<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1304" title="boyshikinggmtnmar2003" src="/images/uploads/2009/02/boyshikinggmtnmar2003-285x215-custom.jpg" alt="boyshikinggmtnmar2003" width="285" height="215" />Kit Camp is definately a work in progress, an idea in active exploration. We've never done this before and don't know of a precedence to go off of so we're kind of making it up as we go. :) If you missed the earlier post about it and don't know what I'm talking about, the original <a href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/2009/01/announcing-the-first-semi-annual-utahpreppers-72-hour-kitcamp/">Kit Camp post is here.</a>

Are You CERTified?
Too often I feel that we get into a "bug out" mentality that leads us to think we'll be fending for ourselves in all circumstances, always looking out for number one.

Food Storage
Dinner Grouping
One of the most important factors in being able to build up a quality food storage program is having the ability to actually store the food that you will eat, and finding a way to rotate that stored food into your daily diet. The problem with storing for most though, is that while those pizza boxes stack really well, the food sure doesn't last. I also don't think that if I ordered an extra meal from the local chinese delivery place, that I could just throw it in my shelving and expect it to do any good.

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>.
