Grid-down Comms 101 - Saturday 14th November

When the grid goes down, how do you still reach the people who matter?

In this presentation, former Marine Corps communicator Daniel Dandelion gives a practical, plain language walk-through about staying in contact when the usual networks fail. He covers real, affordable options, from a free app on the phone already in your pocket, to radios that carry across the region, to the simple discipline of getting a message through when it counts.

The system is built in layers you can start today, and you need no radio experience to follow along. Everyone leaves with a one-page take home guide and a clear first step.

Daniel Dandelion spent five years as a communicator in the United States Marine Corps, working HF, VHF, UHF, and encrypted satellite systems and serving as a cryptographic custodian, including two deployments to Iraq.

Today he lives a land-based, low-input life on ten acres in rural Missouri, where he forages, designs permaculture systems, and thinks a lot about resilience and self-reliance. He brings a grounded, no nonsense take on keeping people connected when the infrastructure cannot be trusted.

We hope to see you! ❤️
