The Self Reliance Festival was held in June 2022 in an off-grid location in Tennessee.
It featured world-renowned experts in food production, self-defense, community building, and modern survivalism.
Only an intimate group of a few hundred in-person attendees and a few hundred watching online were able to see it LIVE.
The wealth of actionable info shared at the Self Reliance Festival was almost lost to time…
…but I worked my magic and was able to bring my favorite videographer along to put it all on tape. And now I’m sharing what we recorded with you…
The Self Reliance Festival was hosted by…
Living Free in Tennessee
Special Operations Equipment
Hey, John Bush here.
Nicole Sauce invited Rebecca Powers and me to speak at the Self Reliance Festival and once I found out who was going to be there…and what they were talking about…AND that NONE of it was going to be recorded…
I immediately called on the best videographer in the business, the great Rebecca Cunningham, to gather all her fancy video and sound equipment and book it to a remote off-grid location in Tennessee where the festival was being held.
I paid her out of my own pocket to capture the talks and workshops that took place that weekend.
She did an amazing job.
Boy oh boy was it worth it!
I refer to Jack Spirko, Nicole Sauce, and everyone at the Self Reliance Festival as “enlightened preppers.”
Because they’re living the self-sufficient lifestyle not out of fear or necessity…but because it’s a better, healthier, happier, wealthier, and more fulfilling life.
Jack Spirko’s tagline for The Survival Podcast is “Helping you live a better life, if times get tough or even if they don’t.”
The Self Reliance Festival PRIVATE RECORDINGS will show you how to design your home, your food, your habits, your business, and your life so that you not only survive, you THRIVE.
Survival can be built into your lifestyle so that you don’t even have to think about it.
Grocery store shelves empty, the dollar crashes, the economy tanks, the masses erupt in chaos…
And you can still eat steak, play with your kids, and watch the sunset on a peaceful homestead.
If you actually USE what you learn inside the Self Reliance Festival PRIVATE RECORDINGS, then you can leap and bound your way to become practically untouchable by the powers-that-wish-they-were who want you to own nothing, eat bugs, and do what you’re told.
It won’t show you EVERYTHING you need to know…
Not a single festival on Earth could do that…
But it will fast-track you MILES up the road to unstoppable self-sufficiency.
In fact, if you follow through with everything you learn in these PRIVATE RECORDINGS…you’ll probably be more prepared and better positioned to survive any of the shit hitting the fan than 95% of most other preppers.
Now, enough build up…
