Jim puts on a great event... and the Tippecanoe Camp Independance one is thier largest event through the year. I should have the lists of classes by tonight, I'll post them when it comes in the email..

I will be present and actually I am one of the videographers that will be producing video of the classes for the website and they will have DVD's available at thier booths at the Gunshows throughout the year. They also put on various classes and training at the Cabelas in Hammond throughout the year.

Great stuff.

I've been there the last three years and it's

a) a lot of fun.
b) a lot of good people.
c) lots of good information. Veteran preparedness people may know much of this stuff, but it's always good to review the basics and there may be new information out there.
d) affordable.

I'll be teaching a self-defense related segment again this year.

Highly recommend it. Spend the night in one of the cabins on Friday and/or Saturday night and make it a family weekend. It's family friendly.

John

ETA: It's broken up into hour-long segments, both indoors and outdoors, so you can tailor your experience to your interests. There's stuff there for everyone, from edible plants to shelters to self-defense.
