One of the core philosophies is the sharing of knowledge. In 2018, we formed the Homesteaders & Preppers Guild as a means of creating a community of people looking to increase their knowledge in skills that are needed by Homesteaders and sought after by Preppers. We started out with a Facebook Group that is now called Requiem's Home, Hearth, and Heart. Fall 2018 we had our first event that focused on these topics and held a Fall Homesteaders and Preppers Bazaar where attendees were privy to a chicken necropsy and anatomy lesson along with humane way to dispatch chickens and cooking them over a campfire. Spring 2019 Bazaar had discussions on methods for growing your own food and how to create your own seed bank.
​

As soon as we receive payment or confirm your presence, permits are current, and social media ready graphics, we will post you out!

PRESENTERS
​
We are always in need of those presenting information that is relevant to the homesteading and preppers community with a variety of proficiency levels in both topics. Topics we have had in the past: brushcraft skills, create a medic kit, wound identification, medicinal foraging, basics of gardening, and the ever popular chicken care and processing.
VOLUNTEERS
​
Volunteers are needed during all phases an event. From promoting the event, assist with coordinating specific specialty areas, runners at events, and event venue clean-up afterwards. We do take care of our volunteers are well feed, whether it is cold cut sandwiches to $20 voucher redeemable at participating food vendors.
We are seeing a lot of comments on our social media pages where someone who is not a part of our staff has stated "contact me to apply" "limited space left. PM me" where they then entice you to make a Facebook or CashApp transaction with them. Please do not fall for their scam. We will only comment back with our Google Docs URL or direct you to our website to apply.
