The Self Reliance Festival

The Self Reliance Festival is happening right now, October 4-5, at Birdsong Resort and Marina in Camden, Tennessee—a place where independence, practical skills, and community spirit come together. Visitors can take part in workshops and talks covering everything from blacksmithing and homesteading to medical readiness and modern self-reliance methods. It’s an event built for those who take action, share ideas, and believe in living prepared.
