Survive and Thrive's 2012 Essential overview will be a distilled culmination of our best efforts over the last three years. This year we will greatly serve those with functional instincts for self preservation and guardianship of loved ones.

Please do not take this effort or opportunity for granted. You should get while the gettin' is good. Bring friends and family. Take advantage of this information while you can still add action to it and make it worth something. We currently have no plans for S&T meetups in 2013.

We will, as usual, steer communications away from metaphysical and political theory and focus in on the 3 dimensional, 5 sense realities at hand while reserving respect for Natural law and order.

The topics include:

Psyche - a few simple concepts that we all should grasp, stress management/during/post trauma, the Self and relation to community. To stay or go?

Shelter - adapting your home to Nuke/Chem/Bio/ potentials, improvised shelter theory and practice

Water - what it is, how it works, how to find it, how to capture it, how to clean it and how to store it.

Fire - heating small spaces without killing anyone, harnessing radiation from our Sun for cooking and warmth, Grid down firefighting basics, lighting options

Food - Basic nutritional needs, canning techniques, drying meats and veggies, growing food in small spaces, buying on a tight budget, wild food foraging

Medical - wound care basics, pharma/traditional medicines to know and find, pandemic flu protocols and the effective use of masks, first aid supplies to stock, preventing and treating radiation sickness

Security - basic door and window fortification, sight/smell/sound discipline, easy to find and buy non lethal options, creating crowd deterrents, firearm types and applications

Sanitation - how to deal with feces, urine, food waste, blood, vomit and other organic issues while sheltering in place. How to control you own sewage line and PREVENT A BACK UP should the sewage plant near you ever stop working.

Utility - types of ropes and knots , tapes, plastic sheets and bags, tools to know. Force multipliers.

This particular meetup will give everyone a basic idea of what to do and then each of these topics will be given it's own one or two meetups throughout this year taught by experts & near experts in each discipline. That will include outdoor weekend skillshares !! : )

There is only one thing that the organizers of Survive and Thrive ask of those that attend.

We put a lot of time and effort into crafting each one of our presentations to help our fellow humans ease the suffering in this world now and later.

We don't ask your name.

We don't want your money.

We are here for you without any expectations.

We do however ask that those who come and partake of the knowledge make the time to leave a comment and rate the meetup afterward. This is for the benefit of those that will come seeking knowledge after you.

The lovely Laura Lee will have a wide selection of 550 paracord survival bracelets and germ grenades for sale, all previous custom orders for belts, dog collars and rifle slings will be completed and on hand. Check out her work here:

Liberties has a great menu at reasonable prices. They donate the space, heat/AC, clean restrooms and comfortable atomoshere to us year after year. We encourage you to order off of the menu downstairs before our meetup up starts and don't hesitate to tip the staff with gratitude.
