I try to attend the Shelley Ready preparedness fair every year. Shelley is a very small town but they put on the largest fair in east Idaho. The town works with government agencies, churches, HAM operators, and preparedness vendors to provide a wide variety of resources. Preparedness conferences, fairs, and preppers shows have vendors that test run products, keynote speakers, free classes, and free samples. One year I came away with a mini bottle of plant food, cell phone finger ring, samples of freeze-dried food, and a collection of logo stickers all for free. I purchased a few things for upcoming articles at great prices like Faraday Bag, Solo Snare, and Emergency Tinder Kit.
Prepper shows, tradeshows, emergency preparedness fairs, and festivals are a great way to find deals on supplies, innovative self-reliant ideas, and connect with other like-minded individuals. A couple of times throughout the year I’ll do a Google search to see if there are any Prepper events in my state and then I check to see if there are any in areas I will be traveling too. After a Google search, I’ll then check the list below to see if I’ve missed any.
