Health Update: I appreciate all the well-wishes. The latest update is I’m getting stronger and feeling better. I still have the drain on my side which severely limits my activities and is impeding my recovery. I have an appointment with the surgeon on Thursday to review the results of my last CT scan(taken on Tuesday) and to review whether or not the drain will be removed or left in for another week or so.

I have no health insurance and with 6 days spent in the hospital, the medical bills are going to be huge. I’ve had a few people reach out and suggest I start a GoFundMe page. Originally I said no. I absolutely hate asking anyone for anything. Now – I’m always willing to help others and go out of my way for someone in need. Me asking for help? I’ve never been comfortable with that. Just the way I am.

I decided to go ahead and do it. I’ll post a link to the GoFundMe page soon. It’s tough out there and many of us are on tight budgets. With that in mind, any donations are very much appreciated. If someone can’t donate sharing the GoFundMe page with family and friends on social media would be fantastic and very helpful.

Oh – something important: Many of you already know or suspect John Rourke is not my real name. This is true. John Rourke has been a “pen name” for well over 12 years. My real name is Keith Wilkins. What’s interesting is I’ve made friends with several readers of this and my previous site and they continued to call me “John” even after learning my real name. I’m good either way.

As GoFundMe requires you to use your real name I thought this would be a good time to come clean. Now – moving forward I will continue to use my pen name – John Rourke.

Again – thanks for the prayers and well-wishes.

Maine Prepper Girl has been out working on the garden while I have been a bit hobbled. I love these galvanized raised beds, It’s still too early to plant here in Maine, but, a few weeks from now we should be good to go.

We bought a chicken coop and a large cage to put it in. Hopefully, by the end of this weekend, we’ll have the coop put together.

We have some “Supersoil” being delivered to fill the raised beds. This will get us off to a good start.

Look at these numbers. There’s a reason behind this and it’s not good.

I think I’ll go watch Red Dawn…….

Maine Prepper Girl(aka Kass) has been on a kick making things leaning towards the all-natural. Above she made some all-natural real vanilla extract. I’m going to ask her to write up how she did it. These are freshly bottled and haven’t started changing color yet.

She just completed some Almond Extract as well!

Stay safe all and please…..keep preparing.

💥 A prepper retreat is a designated location where individuals with a shared mindset for preparedness come together to provide mutual support during challenging times. It serves as a secure and well-equipped refuge for those who are proactive in anticipating and readying themselves for various emergencies, be they natural disasters or societal crises. The core principle of a prepper retreat revolves around the notion of like-minded individuals collaborating, pooling resources, and offering assistance to one another during adverse circumstances. In essence, it is a community of individuals who function as a cohesive team, ensuring each member's well-being and resilience in the face of adversity.

💥A long-term grid-down collapse is a scenario that poses significant challenges to modern society. It can result from various factors such as economic instability, natural disasters, or social unrest. To increase your chances of survival, it's essential to have a well-prepared survival group and retreat. This guide provides a variety of ideas to consider when your group arrives to the retreat as well as some of the factors and conditions that may be encountered. As a bonus there is an additional BONUS guide that covers many of the important aspects to putting that survival group together.

Countless hours were spent putting this checklist and corresponding information together and it’s based on real-world experience. We are here to help get you prepared.

What happens when some catastrophic events occur and people begin to arrive at a retreat location? Who does what and when? Situational details will dictate quite a bit, however, having some form of checklist with corresponding information will help remember things, decrease stress, and allow people to use their brains for thinking.

Why have this Retreat Arrival Checklist? 🤔

💥It’s important to set procedures before you need them. Having a copy on hand at the retreat for common access, it can be utilized to provide guidance and direction when retreat members are under incredible stress.

💥 It isn’t likely that all members will arrive at once… so the checklist can be used to begin work as the first members arrive. Also, there is no guarantee everyone will arrive, and the work still has to be done. It’s important to stay busy to keep minds focused and not overthinking about the future.

Thank you for stopping by and please let me know if there is anything you need. We are in this together.
