Hey Everyone… We have decided we will be taking this year off in creating new challenges for each day of the Month during September.
Look for us to share some old posts and still share some preparedness ideas and suggestions throughout the month.
The staff time involved to pull off #30Days30Ways each year is a huge commitment, and unfortunately for the first time in 13 years, we just do not feel we can make this happen properly.
We hope to be back next year and hopefully have a fresh feel to this challenge!!
Hey there everyone, we are on the final push everyone… you are almost there… just a few more days!! We have had a few challenges this month related to your kits… from your car, to work, to your home kit.. they are all important because we just do not know where we may be when the bad thing happens. But sometimes it’s the unusual that catches our attention and makes us consider something we may have never thought of ourselves.
DAY 26 Challenge:1-3, or 5 pts Today’s challenge once again is related to your kit… but in a little different way. Today we want to talk about the most unusual item in your kit, and why you have it as part of your preparedness kit. Take a pic or create a short video sharing why you have this item in your kit and why others should consider adding it to theirs as well.
Level Up: 5 pts For today’s Level Up… we want you to take a serious look at your preparedness supplies and let us know how many days you and your household are prepared for. It does not matter if you are just starting and only have a few items or have been a lifetime prepper, it’s important to be honest with ourselves about how long we think we could survive without assistance from the communities we are all part of. Share with us as well your plan to increase your readiness in the next year.
Find Allies: Recruit friends and family members to play 30 Days, 30 Ways….

Hey Everyone, Its Eric from the 30 Days, 30 Ways gang.. and tomorrow we kick off our 11th annual 30 Days, 30 Ways Challenge!!
Who would have imagined when this little preparedness challenge was started 11 years ago we would still be going all of these years later?
For those of you stumbling across this video and wondering what this game is all about, well, here ya go..
September happens to be National Preparedness Month. In an effort to help encourage a disaster resilient culture, during the month we will give you one simple preparedness challenge each day for 30 Days.. You can complete as many or as few challenges as you like. AND you have all month to complete as many challenges as you can! All entries need to be submitted by midnight on Sept 30th Pacific TIme Zone!
For each days task, you will have the basic task, a level up for those who want a bit more of a challenge. Don’t worry, there is something for everyone in the 30 Days Challenge, no matter if you are completely new to thinking about getting prepared, or if you are a lifetime prepper!
Also, this challenge awards points… and the more points you are awarded, the better chance you have at winning one of our Amazon Gift Cards at the end of the Month! A great way to add extra points is by recruiting allies to take the challenge with you… For every challenge they complete… you get points also!!
This year may look a little different with some of the challenges… COVID-19 has impacted us all, and that includes the time preparing for this game.

Thanks again to everyone who particpated in the 2017 challenge. We hope you enjoyed this years game and look forward to 2018!!
We just want to thank everyone who participated in this year’s 30 Days 30 Ways Challenge! We had a great time bringing you the challenge and look forward to starting next years preparations. Looking back at this year’s challenge, we once again had players in many states and even a few countries. We were happy to see so many new players this year participating in the challenge. Close to 70% of those who took the challenge took if for the first time!! We credit our returning players for this as you recruited your “allies” along the way.
We are busily working on finalizing points for everyone who participated in the challenge, and should be connecting with winners within the next few weeks. At that time we will announce the winners.
This Challenge would not be nearly as successful if it was not for all of our Community Partners and Sponsors! We would especially like to thank the Emergency Kit Cook Off, the Regional Water Consortium and 30 Days, 30 Ways UK, for once again partnering with us to bring a few special daily challenges.
As we finish up this year’s challenge, we again thank all that particpated, took, shared, lurked and watched this years challenge. We will see you in 2018!!
