Membership

The Prepper Club

For people who want to go further than a one-off kit or workshop — ongoing access to events, discounts, and a community that actually knows what it's doing. Applications are reviewed manually; we'll follow up by email with next steps, including payment.

What's included

Every tier gets this

Priority booking

On every public event — including the Hackathon and Academy, both capped and known to fill up.

The Field Exercise

Access to the members-only Field Exercise — not open to the public at any price.

Member pricing

Across the whole shop — not just one or two items.

Bring your own device

Members work on their own laptop at events — that's the default, and it's free. Borrowing the club's laptops and other hardware is a Pro benefit.

The internal platform

The club's internal project platform — Hackathon builds, personal prep, initiatives — plus the members-only resource library.

Organizations A server rack in a homelab

Plus

For municipalities, NGOs, and companies who want their own dedicated instance of the platform, with training included — not a seat inside the public platform.

Add-on

Members and Pro members

Every tier above is a Member. Pro is an add-on any member can switch on month to month — it doesn't change your tier, it changes what you can do on the platform and gives you the club's own AI assistants.

Member

Included with every tier.

  • Read every club project, session and challenge
  • Comment on anything and join the discussion boards
  • Follow the timetable, calendar and roadmap
  • Log your own time against sessions
  • Read the wiki and download shared files
  • Bring your own device to events (BYOD)

Pro Contact for pricing

Everything a Member gets, plus the right to build rather than only read.

  • The club's AI assistants at llm.prepping.club, on our own hardware
  • Create issues, challenges and subtasks — not just comment on them
  • Write and edit wiki pages, and upload files for the club
  • Start your own project or sub-project workspace
  • Save and share queries the whole club can use
  • Borrow the club's hardware at events — laptops and kit, instead of bringing your own
  • Join the standing events team, not just one-off volunteering
  • A Pro badge on your name across the platform
What Pro includes →

A community that actually knows what it's doing — not a kit bought once and forgotten in a closet.

Members-only events

Separate from the public Events page — smaller groups, more hands-on, booked before anything goes public.

Apply

Applications are reviewed by a person, not auto-approved. We'll email you back with a decision and, if approved, payment instructions.


Volunteer

Not ready for membership, or just want to help run events? We're always looking for people to help with registration, setup, and supporting first-timers at our public workshops and events — no experience required. This is open to anyone; Pro members can go further and join the standing events team.
