The Elements of Survival, Part 1

For our New York City area members, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation is running a four part series on the elements of survival. Part 1 is coming up tomorrow, January 15th at 1PM at the Forrest Park Visitor Center in Queens! See the NYCDPR website for more information.

In this four part series, you'll learn about the four basic elements of wilderness survival: shelter, water, fire, and food. The first part focuses on the importance of building a good shelter.

The other dates are:

• Part 2 - Saturday, January 29, 2011 @ 1:00 p.m.
• Part 3 - Saturday, February 12, 2011 @ 1:00 p.m
• Part 4 - Saturday, February 26, 2011 @ 1:00 p.m

This looks to be a great free event for the residents of the city. I hope to see you there! If you come around, look for the really tall guy in the black ZS shirt.

There is also a winter survival class being held on the 29th as well down at the Salt Marsh Nature Center in Marine Park. (East 33rd Street and Avenue U, Brooklyn)

Mother Earth News Fair - Any Interest in Going?

Attention New York Preppers: Mother Earth News is having a fair! It will be on the weekend of September 24-25 in Seven Springs, PA. Here is the relevant page from Mother Earth News and the APN thread as well.

If there's any interest in going, we can arrange a trip to leave from the NYC Metro area and try to get either discounted lodging or a nice camp site near by. Other members of APN will be going and it will be a great opportunity to learn and meet other like-minded folks.
