Surviving the Economic Collapse is a First Hand Account of a Modern Economic Collapse

Fernando “FerFAL” Aguirre is 31 years old and lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with his wife and two children. He started writing about urban survivalism after experiencing first hand the socioeconomic collapse of his country in 2001. The everyday experience of living in Argentina after the collapse provides Fernando a wealth of experience that he shares with his readers through his blog and book.

Fernando is the author of “Surviving the Economic Collapse” which has been a Emergency and Disaster best seller since its release in 2009.  He brings a voice of realism to this topic of economic collapse.

Basically Fernando’s message is everything the TV and Hollywood have told you bears very little resemblance to reality.

Join Fernando and I today as we discuss…

  • What exactly happened in Argentina in December of 2001
  • What can Americans learn from what happened in Argentina
  • What can we do now to protect ourselves from what is coming
  • The role of precious metals in a collapse economy
  • Why cash is still king in a economic collapse
  • What effect does an economic collapse have on criminal activity
  • Why small town rural areas beat out both remote retreats and cities
  • Setting up effective home security
  • The role dogs play in home security
  • What to carry in way of guns, knives and other defensive tools
  • Learning to defend yourself in real combat scenarios
  • Why bugging out may be leaving the country at certain times

Episode- 286- The Homestead Dog [ 50:48 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Yesterdays final question about choosing a good dog for a suburban homestead inspired me to dedicate a full show to choosing a great family dog and providing a good environment and training for your furry friend along with some basics on prepping to be sure you can care for your animals if the shit hits the fan.

We also have an “assclown of the day today“.  Today’s assclown is the British government and this article speaks for itself.

Tune in today as I discuss…

  • A dog is first and foremost a companion – the “working dog” BS doesn’t mean a dog is not part of the family
  • Thoughts on some hunting breeds such as the Brittany, the Springer, the German Short Hair, the Lab, the Golden, the Beagle, Coon Hounds, the Feist and the Cur
  • Some of the “protective breeds” who are still gentle such as the Cur, Labs, Goldens, Sheppard, Sheppard mixes and Rottweilers
  • What do you want in a dog and a cool online dog picking quiz
  • The ins and outs of crate training and how to do it properly and why it is so effective
  • The basic commands, sit, stay, heel, lay, leave it, take it
  • Advanced training, dead, shake, fetch (wait) and walking leash free
  • Why walking is so important and how it will solve many problems before they occur
  • The “touch” and the “bite” as corrections
  • The psychology of a dog’s world
  • Being prepared to take care of your buddy if the shit hits the fan
