Episode-581- Building Community with Marjory Wildcraft

Marjory Wildcraft of BackYardFoodProduction.com joins us today to discuss building local communities.  Many preppers and survivalists are naturally individualistic people.  In some ways this is great and it is what gives us the can do and can survive spirit.

In the end though the old saying is true, “no man is an island” and our self reliance is actually stronger if we can develop a strong local community of like minded individuals.

Many members of the audience have struggled with doing this, tune in today and Marjory will give you passive methods that are simple surefire ways to connect with like minded people in your area.

Join me today as we discuss…

  • Why do you need community?
  • How communities increase your standard of living
  • Security advantages of a community
  • How community building is effective ‘insurance’
  • Using entertainment and education to foster and build community
  • Finding folks already living the lifestyle
  • Teaching those who are interested
  • Attracting people to your neighborhood with common values
  • Running workshops focusing on skills
  • Plugging into existing networks

Today we do another round of listener questions.  We have some great questions today on things like handguns, dealing with wildlife, securing weapons in a home with children, storing fishing gear and more.

In the intro segment we name Roxana Mayer as assclown of the day for pretending to be a doctor while at a town hall meeting with Shelia Jackson Lee in support of Obamacare.  We also name Charles “Gus” Agusto, Jr. as hero of the day for taking out four armed gunmen with an old pump shotgun.  Oh by the way “Gus” is 72 years old.  Salute to you sir!

Tune in to hear me answer the following questions…

  • How do you store fishing line long term?  (easy one)
  • What about the 40 S&W for a defensive handgun round?
  • What’s up with the expiration dates on thing like rice, pasta and beans?
