Today
Tony and I spent the day at the Sustainable Preparedness Expo at the Portland
Expo Center. While wandering around we
bummed into some friends – “Mr & Mrs Wranglerstar”. They were impressively surrounded by many of
their YouTube followers, so we just stopped to say a quick hello.
The
Expo was full of vendors, hands-on workshops, and training sessions on
preparedness, homesteading, and sustainable living; which attracted people from
all walks of life. The focus of this
Expo was quality education. It’s about serious
training – not entertainment.

The
large attendance at this Expo workshop just goes to prove that people are
HUNGRY for knowledge. They know
something’s wrong – with our government, with the economy, with their
vulnerability when it comes to empty grocery store shelves after any disruption
– and they want to learn more about how to help themselves.
This was the first Sustainable Preparedness expo we have attended. More and more people are waking up to the fact that our economy is not as stable and trouble-free as they have been led to believe. It’s encouraging to see people actively seeking information on how to help themselves.
