(Denver, Colorado) – December 7, 2011  RedShed Ventures, LLC, owners of the Self-Reliance Expo and BubbaDaVinci.com, has merged with well-known self-reliance company – Get Ready Network, owners of the Doctor Prepper franchise and Preparedness Radio Network. All brands will operate under the newly formed parent company, Red Shed Media Group, a Delaware-based company.  Red Shed Media Group will be responsible for the operation of all subsidiaries and the creation of all self-reliance multimedia materials used by the subsidiaries.

Red Shed Media Group is now the largest media outlet in the self-reliance industry. The company will concentrate on five major mediums: Internet radio, video satellite radio, television and print. Red Shed will be going into production early January with three television show pilots, set to be completed by the Easter holiday. Red Shed Media was established to legitimize the self-reliance industry with one mission: to provide virtual knowledge from trusted self-reliance brands.

Perhaps more than ever, people are seeking ways to become more self-reliant and create a more sustainable lifestyle. It’s great for the environment and it’s great on the pocketbook. Each brand within the Red Shed Media Group serves as a tool for those seeking further education on the topic. With the creation of Red Shed Media Group, even more content will become available. Being educated, informed and prepared means you will live a more peaceful, fulfilled life and be able to make the right decisions when the time comes. Within the Red Shed, you will find all the self-reliance resources you need under one roof. This media group is overfilling its Red Shed with all the necessary tools.  What you take away and add to your own Red Shed is up to you!

“Just like the Self-Reliance Expo, we are trying to bring some stability and family values to the media portion of the market,” said Ron Douglas CEO of RedShed Ventures, LLC. “Many people have invested years into creating self-reliance content, both online and off, and not been able to monetize it. We believe that the creation of Red Shed Media Group will allow for a more comprehensive package for companies and individuals in the self-reliance multimedia market. The ultimate goal of Red Shed Media Group is to help the self-reliance community turn a profit doing what they are passionate about.”

Red Shed Media Group recently raised over 25 percent capital from venture capitalists in the media industry for use in content creation. Red Shed Media Group will be offering profit sharing and revenue sharing to all the blogs, Internet shows and talent as part of their plan to grow the preparedness and self-reliance market.

“SRB (Self Reliance Broadcasting) hosts over 30 self-reliance type shows every week with titles like The Doom and Bloom™ Hour with Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy,” said Nurse Amy, co-host of the show. “We are excited to be part of a great family of preparedness educators. SRB is like having an entire library at your fingertips.”
