There was a similar youtube video where the show was located in south carolina and the guy reported almost the same exact thing . but we had to scope it out just to see...
Thanks you two for sharing your experience, and yes I was asking questions about what you viewed! I believe as you that gardening and nutrition should have been included in a prepping show? I have a military survival manual as a great reference, and I learned that the long term food is just calories with little concern for nutrients! Great content and thanks again for your hard work and Greetings from Bluff Country Iowa
Thanks so much. Bryan has both military and current medical experience. Amy is a nutritionist and beekeeper and the main food preparer of the house, so we do have good knowledge between the two of us. We are very glad to have a freeze dryer and dehydrator to put away food as we can. And once we get the greenhouse going (year round) we'll have a reliable way to produce it! Thanks for the comment!!
Thanks 👍 we think it’s smart to be prepared for big things and small- like next week, we may get 2 feet of snow. What if it was 4 feet?? Good to have everything you need for awhile.
The problem is the people who go these shows hardly ever buy any of the prepper stuff . The cost of setting up, is very expensive. So the vendors must sell the items that sell and sell for a profit. Yes people talk like they will buy the prepper stuff but, they really don't. They are more likely to order the stuff off Amazon when they get home. So, your lucky they even tried to have a prepper show
I understand the expense of vendor shows, as I am an artist/vendor myself and used to paying $500 for a vendor spot at markets. I think people get into the business of "vending"' without a solid understanding of the financial side of what it takes to turn a profit and how that may/may not match with their audience's buying capacity.
Hi guys I agree it looked very lax on preps! But I do think you are on the right track! I have gotten a empty trauma bag and filled it out with med supplies not alot of band aid's. Some of the prep food stores is good but your right to put away your own foods. The idea of seeds is a great way of going forward but go to a spring Home & Garden show to get your seeds. Choose the ones you can grow and like. Then pick what you can grow in one season & double the amount of seeds you get. Put half of them back for security of one season growing. As for power look into various solar, battery back-up systems. I agree with your ideas alot on self reliance. Plus Im in Alaska and you have to prepare for" what if" more than most people, these are good things to really look into! Best of luck on your educational journey, Craig
Thanks so much. We just got hit with a winter storm with 5 feet of snow and felt pretty darn prepared for that one. We are just getting started on our preparedness journey, but have made good headway with some key provisions (battery & solar power) and freeze dryer.
My freeze drier was my best investment approaching the second year and no issues. The best part is making what I like to eat and I know what's goes into it. I grow it cook it FD it. Books are also a good prep..
Excellent!! exactly my reason for using it- it's going to be the perfect thing for when we get our year round greenhouse going!!! stay tuned for that project later this year.
Like your channel and your projects -- Free advice, "don't show or reveal too much about your own preparations as people are watching", said the slightly paranoid prepper! I always enjoy your videos and I look forward to the next post!
I agree with you . Many people that say they are preppers are a little over the top for most of us. While we need to prepare to keep the bad guys away we mostly need to prepare to just servive in the hard times. Stocking food , meds , basic tools, knowledge are what we need . To Many of us the belief in the good Lord is important also.
Thanks so much for sharing your sentiments. It sure makes it easier to endure any hard time (even being bedridden with a broken leg) to have the basics taken care of. Appreciate your commonsense perspective and values! (people need to remember how America pulled it together during WW2).
So far I like the water purification products and ham radio equipment. That along with my 40 cases of Bush's canned black beans I guess I'm all set since I'm 80 years old and made it this far without much preparation. ~~~~~ I really only have a case of Bush's black beans but can still hunt and fish. By the way, what am I preparing for... the next general election? (hahaha)
I love those beans! Bryan is not a bean guy, however so he may suffer on that diet. Ham radio is definitely cool- I could see that as another hobby. Oh boy!
Tried to go to one of these in NC. Met nice folks coming out who just wanted to be more prepared and homestead. The warned us the show was no good; similar to this. Too bad they can’t have displays about what regular folks are really interested in.
Howdy from Texas! Research some of the Homestead Expos and Events. The Okie Homestead Exposition is real good. That little Set Up you went to was almost like a Glorified Knife Show. With various Product Distributors. Not knocking them. But wouldn’t need my needs
I grew up in colorado in the 60s and 70s. I took a lot of pride in saying that was where I was from. Always wanted to go back and visit but knew i would be heartbroken. Stay sane!
Was it their first one? There were no banners, colorful attention getting advert. items. It was still good to go. Maybe for this year anyhow go to the garden show. It seems you were looking for ag, food. Mother Earth News does a fair for homesteading. Pathfinders/bushcraft got to fairs too.
Gun shows are the same. Lots of beef jerky and stuff you never knew you needed. Best thing I ever bought at a GS was a 100 Trillion Zimbabwe dollar bill. Just waiting for it to achieve it's full value here in the USA.@@ColoradoMountainLiving
Prepping doesn't work, if you're looking for sustainable preparedness, go to homesteading events, that's what you were actually talking about during the wood stove segment of your video
@@ColoradoMountainLiving Bushcrafting would help with skills for building, and basics like firestarting. Gardening events for your area would help with growing food. And depending on the size of your property, maybe animal husbandry and livestock venues help for raising meat.
That was a horrible show. Prepping has 2 styles, Bug in or Bug out. Your homestead is in a position that you would bug in. Not many events of that type in that area due to the political environment. Have to go to a show in Wyoming, Montana or Kansas. Most preppers are loners by nature so they don't really have a big shows. I just use common sense.... Overlander, Homesteading, and wilderness survival. You are already on a pretty good start where you are headed now. Add get medical Training, Get books, Grow your own medicine precursors (various herbs and certain flowers)....get training (FieldCraft Survival) and yes...Learn how to use the so called weapons of mass destruction (smh). Bushcrafting and Prepping to hand in hand.
Thanks so much. Bryan has the military and medical background (he's a physician assistant and he also took a wilderness survival course) so we got those bases covered. Amy is a dietitian and beekeeper and food preparer and amateur herbalist, so we got a lot of knowledge already. More foraging/fieldcraft would be good, as well as hunting/fishing practice. The freeze dryer has been great and Amy has prepared over 20 pounds of food already this winter. the green house will be a key step to securing year round growing. Bryan has ideas for underground bunker, but that project may be several years off. hopefully not too many!
Amy & Bryan, alot of that stuff at the preper show looked to be a bunch of Chinese made junk.. and surely not worth a $10 entrance fee. Hope ya had some fun anyway?.
I know. So much junk and stuff that looked like it had been carted all around the country. At least we had something to do a mile away from where we dropped off the UTV for service with the tracks.
Most items preppers buy is cheap Chinese goods anyway, that's why a lot of them will be in trouble if anything happens, homesteading is the way to go, building power and water infrastructure that is fully sustainable, growing food, raising animals, learning how to build off grid, these things for me are important
Thanks, yeah it's all just more processed food unless it's your own. We DO have a freeze dryer and Amy has been making lots of meals and such this winter, but a long ways to go yet to be able to have enough to last months & years.
@@consco3667 power use depends on which size freeze dryer you have. Yes, they are pricey, but it is better to spend money on something that will preserve the type and quality food you eat now so your body won’t have you rue the day you purchased commercial companies garbage low quality food. If you do not currently eat the commercial companies meals, you don’t want to eat them later. You have to “store what you eat and eat what you store”. There are several freeze dryer companies. Harvest Right, Blue Alpine, The Cube by Prep4life, Etc. Many of them even have payment plans available. I cringe when I see and hear people spending their hard earned money on commercial food storage and realize they got duped. Food storage companies are not dietary conscious to peoples needs.
Yeah, pretty disappointing and not even educational. Between the 2 of us, we had more knowledge combined than most of the show there. I'm working on the meals this winter, just ran my 4th load in the Freeze dryer, so got a long ways to go yet. p.s. freeze dried meals are perfect for art show weekends in the summer!
That show was definatly not worth the $10 to get in. Sounds like we were looking for a lot of the same things you guys were. Heirloom seeds, books and some solar generator side by side comparisons was what we were after.
There is no "bugout" senario that is good. You dont have a "bugout bag".... you have a refugee bag. Think about it. The countryside is taken and the people will fight for it.
Agree. where do people think they will be going? Unless you have a super secret hideout that you can actually access- there are literally people everywhere
Even for those with "cabins" or the like, if it hits the fan, the locals consider those people outsiders and will divest them of their proclaimed property. It is just the way it is in those situations.
@@northwoodsdad7506 I agree. People will cling to familiar people in a crisis.

I have been to many gun shows in Boulder, they used to be held at the armory on North Broadway. I think they stopped having them in the late 1990s. I still shoot trap sometimes at the American Legion post in North Boulder from time to time.
Haha. It was close to the UTV dealership , so made a day of it when we brought it in for service (getting the tracks looked at). But it was fun , I suppose. Makes me want to go to a “real one.”
These kinds of vendor based shows exist to take advantage of the unknowledgeable consumer. Products tend to be the flashy, poor quality, limited usefulness stuff that appeals to those who have an interest but haven't done their homework.
It looked like what you would see at a large mid-west gun show with less guns. Seems like the promoter might round up some demonstrators,speakers and instructors to give or share their expertise, if they were forward thinking. I think the mother earth news still does an annual show with seminars along the lines of what you seem to be thinking of, but they have kind of gone yuppie($).
That show was very disappointing. We walked through it in less than 30 minutes and ended up buying a rock pot that i still have mixed feelings about. I was definitely hoping for more. Mostly Chinese made, crap. Hope we get a better show in Colorado soon.
UGH! That “show” looked like every gun show I have ever attended; maybe 5% actual quality gear and 95% cheap Chinesium garbage, a large percentage of which has nothing to do with the stated purpose of the show. It should’ve been advertised as a flea market instead.
So... it's a gun show sans guns? It looks pretty much identical to the gun show we have here but without the actual guns. Why I quit going, the gun prices were pretty standard, as were ammo, and you have to pay to look at peoples cool collections of stuff you don't need.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving Rule of thumb when handling bladed weapons, treat them like extremely large razor blades. Because the good ones are that sharp.
Seemed VERY disappointing. I definitely see the mind set of the prepper. At least in that area. Nothing that inspired a Godly perspective and a spiritual preparedness.

Tractor supply would be a better place to look for preps. Tools, seeds, feed, fencing, and they have knives too.
Great point!
Appreciate your honesty, not every event is up to expectations!
Thanks- looking for something more professional next time.
You are in the people's republic of Boulder... Doubt that there are many vendors that wanted to be there. Great job getting your preps together.
There was a similar youtube video where the show was located in south carolina and the guy reported almost the same exact thing . but we had to scope it out just to see...
Not a well-rounded show in Boulder, CO? Not surprised. Don't most of those people believe the government will save them? They sure vote that way.
Show was in north Boulder county

Get a program so that you have vendor names, their website of the show or organizations sites, so that you can look up info later.
Thanks!
My wife and I are the same, we are maxxed out on prepping, just waiting for it.
we definitely have more to do, but feel pretty comfortable where we are at. We had a 5 ft snowfall. last month and were set for awhile without worry.

Glad we could help you save time and $$!!
What do you expect from Boulder Co.
at least more info about permaculture, solar & wind power, growing food, animal husbandry, herbalism, wild foraging...
I expect Mork & Mindy. This was a letdown, honestly.

I would love to attend a gun show in Boulder. That would mean things have changed a lot.
this was everything minus the guns
I have been to many gun shows in Boulder, they used to be held at the armory on North Broadway. I think they stopped having them in the late 1990s. I still shoot trap sometimes at the American Legion post in North Boulder from time to time.
Please don't have your medical supplies under the sink. Have them in a cool, dry place.
That sounds like our bathroom cupboard. it's cool and dry
Too many toys and not enough tools. Alot missing. Thanks for your honesty. It surely wasn't the get real show.
You bet. it felt more like entertainment and "dabbling"
I live here in Colorado and had no idea this existed 😂
We would have no idea if we didn't see the 1 tiny sign on the side of the road. that should have been our first clue...
You should've at least gotten a hot dog for that $10. Lol
Hahahaha! For real!
Or a bag of popcorn and a coke.
..Hey guy's .... A different way to spend an afternoon anyway ...... but I think Bryan needs a sword .... Stay Safe ....
hahah . was fun entertainment
Guys well that was a bit different, I was waiting to see people listening to the anarchist or authoritarian regime talk, lol. Thanks for sharing
Haha. It was close to the UTV dealership , so made a day of it when we brought it in for service (getting the tracks looked at). But it was fun , I suppose. Makes me want to go to a “real one.”
We are so awesome!
Thanks
I went on Saturday and yes it was bad.
UGH
That looked more like a show for aspiring post apocalypse mutant bikers and raiders than reality based preppers.
hahahha
These kinds of vendor based shows exist to take advantage of the unknowledgeable consumer. Products tend to be the flashy, poor quality, limited usefulness stuff that appeals to those who have an interest but haven't done their homework.
Sure seemed like it. Such a bummer

No gun show in Boulder, CO. They hate guns there. It is extremely liberal.
Ah that's to bad..hoping you have better luck next show
Thanks; if you have any suggestions of expos or shows, let us know
That show was very disappointing. We walked through it in less than 30 minutes and ended up buying a rock pot that i still have mixed feelings about.
I was definitely hoping for more. Mostly Chinese made, crap.
Hope we get a better show in Colorado soon.
Yup. too bad!
Boulder county banned gun shows at the fairground as the county commissions said gun shows didn't fit their values.
ok, but interesting how this show was over 50% weapons
I won't call it even close yo good
no def not
👍 Don't get too discouraged, that show sucked.
Thanks- now we want to go to a “real one”.
Look up Every thing under the sun
Thanks!
Being prepared and being a militia are 2 different things. Pushing a militia agenda seems to be the new preparedness.
We were definitely taken by surprise by the style of show it was
Its because prepping is a type of paranoia. The paranoid militaristic types will take to it pretty easily until they are the dominant voice.
Hard to find vendors and pay the rent for the day of the building.
seems like it
Pretty much just a local gun and knife show.
Yup
UGH! That “show” looked like every gun show I have ever attended; maybe 5% actual quality gear and 95% cheap Chinesium garbage, a large percentage of which has nothing to do with the stated purpose of the show. It should’ve been advertised as a flea market instead.
it's almost like a con to get your money , not educate the public on survival.
Looks to me like more hunk then usable items
There was a very small selection of useful items
Glad I didn't go!
you saved money and your time!
So... it's a gun show sans guns? It looks pretty much identical to the gun show we have here but without the actual guns. Why I quit going, the gun prices were pretty standard, as were ammo, and you have to pay to look at peoples cool collections of stuff you don't need.
haha pretty much. i was shocked at the entrance fee and we didn't even get into a raffle prize drawing for that
Medical is good....in a Boulder County show.....of "Assault" knives......lmao
haha
I see a man that has no clue how to examine a blade weapon.
He's more of a heavy artillery veteran
@@ColoradoMountainLiving Rule of thumb when handling bladed weapons, treat them like extremely large razor blades. Because the good ones are that sharp.
Seemed VERY disappointing. I definitely see the mind set of the prepper. At least in that area. Nothing that inspired a Godly perspective and a spiritual preparedness.
just seemed like an import trade show using the word "prepper" to attract crowds
This looks like a Gun Show. Not a prepper expo.
without any guns tho lol
did anyone object to being filmed?
yes one person but we told him we'd edit him out.
Looked like a lot of Chinese junk . Better off gathering gear n supplies n learning to be self sufficient.
I know it. So disappointing.
yes sadly most cheaply made goods and more like fads instead of real needed equipment
too bad, really
Site , DiesinEveryFilmCustoms , he’s a character , but makes some fabulous weapons , almost like pieces of ART
interesting
