Submissions

Submission Guidelines & Contributor Agreement

1. Why Contribute?
   Tertiary Prepper™ is a community-driven project. We publish volunteer submissions from people who want to share their knowledge, skills, and experience with others. By contributing, you are helping build a deeper, more practical layer of preparedness that benefits everyone.
2. Ownership & Use

• You keep ownership of your work.
• By submitting, you are giving Tertiary Prepper™ permission to publish, edit for clarity/formatting, and share your work on our platforms (website, social media, print, or future materials).
• We may adapt or repurpose content (with credit to you), but you will never lose your rights to your own work.

3. No Payment (For Now)

• Submissions are voluntary and unpaid.
• Think of this like contributing to a knowledge base or open-source project — your reward is exposure, community recognition, and helping others prepare better.

4. What We Are Looking For

• Legitimate and original human authorship, accurate, practical content related to tertiary prepping.
• Examples: technical skills, cultural/psychological insights, group dynamics, logistics, survival field guides, reviews, or personal lessons learned.
• Respectful and constructive tone. No plagiarized, offensive, or unsafe material.
• Feel free to attach any high-resolution pictures, artwork, or video links (your videos only please) to your article to add additional depth to the topic you would like to discuss.

5. Editing & Publishing

• We may lightly edit for grammar, readability, or formatting.
• Not all submissions are guaranteed publication, but we will review everything carefully.
• If major changes are needed, we will reach out first.

6. Liability & Safety Note

• Prepping, survival, and technical skills can be risky. We will do our best to fact-check, but you are responsible for ensuring your content is safe and accurate.
• By submitting, you agree that Tertiary Prepper™ is not liable for how readers choose to use the information.
• By submitting your article to Tertiary Prepper™, you have read and understand our legal notice and requirements listed herein.

7. Submitting Content

• Send your article or “Weekly Tips” via email to: info@tertiaryprepper.com
• Include your name (or pen name), any relevant experience/credentials, and references if applicable.

8. Agreement
   By sending in your content, you agree to these guidelines and giving us the green light to share your work with the community.

• Culture (Foundation): Establish group norms, rules, roles, training, and cohesion to ensure the team operates effectively before and after an event.
• Psychology (Stability): Maintain mental and emotional resilience, identify risks, and provide psychological first aid for high-stress environments.
• Logistics (Execution): Execute coordinated systems for OPSEC, resource security, medical preparedness, energy, mobility, field engineering, and technical survival skills — from alternative medicines and wild edibles to automotive, carpentry, and communication systems.

The copper mine analogy fits best because copper is not prized for its shine, but for its function. Copper is the conductor — it carries current, connects systems, and brings light to everything else. In the same way, tertiary prepping serves as the wiring that illuminates the gold and silver aspects of preparedness.

Without copper, the system does not run.
Without tertiary prepping, the bigger picture of survival stays dark.
