Traditional Skills Summit 2026 is now OPEN!


Hey everyone!

I'M SO EXCITED!!

Registration for the 5th annual Traditional Skills Summit is now OPEN! Make sure to grab your seat before you do anything else this morning.

​REGISTER FREE FOR THE TRADITIONAL SKILLS SUMMIT​

October 12-16.​
5 Days of live teaching and Q&A sessions from homesteading's most trusted instructors.

It's FREE, LIVE, and ONLINE!

Whether you want to grow and raise more food, up your preservation game, or learn how to put it all together without the constant overwhelm, this is the one event you don't want to miss this year!

You see, you are probably facing the same problem all of us do at one time or another--

How do I do all of this and not burn out!?

There's always another skill to learn, another project to tackle, and a whole lot of conflicting advice to sift through.

And before long, it can feel easier to save another pretty post than to take the next step.

Josh and Carolyn Thomas built the whole Summit week on one idea: you don't need to learn (and do) everything (perfectly) to move forward.

Whether you are just getting started on this journey, have been at it for a year or two, or have been at it for several years and want to keep going without getting so overwhelmed, you just need a clear path and your next steps.

Sharon G. put it well:

"The School of Hard Knocks causes me not to continue. Learning the right way the first time is so encouraging and makes me continue."

That's what these five days are for…building skills, getting clarity, and confidently stepping forward.

From October 12 to 16, the School of Traditional Skills is gathering its trusted instructors to help you choose a place to begin, strengthen the skills you already have, and take your next step toward a more self-sufficient life.

They will be teaching specific skills for sure, like gardening, animal husbandry, food preservation, and more. But it is not just about the skills. Confidence comes from knowing how to integrate those skills and into your everyday life.

That's what you will get from the Traditional Skills Summit 2026!

​Save your free summit spot here.​

I look forward to seeing you there!

The Summit is free and incredibly valuable. Every session sends you off with something doable you can go do that week.

They'll also introduce you to the School of Traditional Skills Community, so if you know you'd like to keep going on this path of self-sufficiency without the overwhelm and with step-by-step guidance from trusted instructors, you'll have the option to grab their biggest membership savings!

P.S. You don't need to become a homesteading expert by October. You only need one next step. Register free here!​

Thanks,
Erica

Hello Everyone! How's everyone doing? If you are on social media, you might have seen this: If that doesn't say you should be getting prepared, I am not sure what does. There has been some concerning news lately about the possibility of another world war or conflict. I think this article sums it up well and give you an idea of where the United States and other countries are heading: Is the world preparing for war? Why US, UK, Japan and Europe are ringing emergency alarm bells. Please don't...

Hello Everyone! How's everyone doing? A lot of news in the last month hasn't been good. While I believe in finding the good in everything and not letting fear control me, the current and potential global events has made me review and renew my preparedness efforts. I have also been assessing and reviewing my ability to grow more food. The news of the plague from Russia is very concerning. There is a likelihood it will not reach the United States, but we are a very global and mobile society. I...

Hello Everyone! How's everyone doing? With all the news out there and most of it discouraging, I think it's important to check on our family and friends. One headline has stuck with me recently: JP Morgan Warns A Global Food Crisis Next Year. With diesel prices projected to rise, a potential AI bubble bursting, and worsening weather conditions, one really needs to take stock of their preps. In other words, take inventory of what you own and fill in the gaps. This is why we prepare. By...
