In this episode, we dive into the aftermath of the T-REX readiness exercise, reflecting on the challenges, successes, and key takeaways from this intense three-day grid-down simulation. Join me, along with Patrick, the National Communications Coordinator for PrepperNet, as we analyze how the event unfolded from July 19th to 21st and the invaluable lessons we learned along the way.

We’ll revisit the various ways participants engaged in T-REX, from those who monitored the exercise to those who were deeply involved in off-grid operations. Discover what worked, what didn’t, and the critical adjustments we’ll be making to our preparedness plans moving forward. We’ll share real stories from the field, including overcoming technical glitches, like Raspberry Pi crashes and power supply failures, and the emotional journey of staying connected during a simulated crisis.

As we wrap up, we’ll discuss the broader implications of the T-REX exercise on future preparedness efforts. How can we better prepare for power outages and communication breakdowns? What are the next steps for those who participated, and how can others get involved in upcoming drills? Plus, stay tuned for details on the PrepperNet Radio Show, where we’ll continue these important conversations and build a stronger, more connected community.

Tune in to this episode to reflect, learn, and prepare for whatever comes next!
