American Preppers Network is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing "preppers" together and providing educational services, online classes, resources and workshops in the fields of survival, preparedness, and sustainability. APN’s motto is Freedom Through Teaching Others Self-Reliance. The APN network is not intended to promote any religion or group other than those who are interested in surviving the current economic crises, increased natural and man-made disasters, peak oil, pollution, increased crime and any type of oppression that could be imposed on Americans. It is not a network to promote hate or violence, but rather a Survival and Preppin' Network. American Preppers Network guidelines and rules follow the examples of the laws set by the very Founders of this great Nation. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution lay a tremendous foundation for all of the actions and behaviors of Preppers.

The Preppers Networks consist of the main APN blog, the APN forum, 50 State Prepper sites and forums, and our international friends and partners including but not limited to the International Preppers Network, Canadian Preppers Network and their 13 Provincial Prepper sites, along with links to many other blogs and independent sites relating to preparedness and survival.
