Episode-354- Four Rules of Storing Food

Today we are going to discuss storing food for both acute and long term survival needs.  I find with people new to preparedness it is one of the things they are interested in but often fail to take action on.  There is one fundamental though, food is necessary for life, without it you are in real trouble.

Join me today as we discuss…

  • The lack of vision many “disaster documentaries” have about food shortages
  • What the real threat of pandemic teaches us about the need to store food
  • Why you should start with the rule, store what you eat
  • Utilizing the “opportunity buy”
  • The role long term commercial storables play in your storage plan
  • The value of cheap storables like wheat, barley, rice and their limitation
  • The importance of protection from rodents
  • The myth that a “garden makes you a target” any more then existing makes you a target
  • Why you must become a producer
  • The three levels of production and how they work together
  • The holistic nature of a true long term food program

Episode-283- Emergency Vehicle Preperations

oday we take a look at emergency vehicle preparations.  As I discuss these please note that item one is your bug out bag, (BOB) hence something in your BOB such as a first aid kit or pair of gloves, etc won’t be mentioned today.  We will be doing another show on BOBs soon.  Today we are focused on turing your daily drive in to a proper bug out vehicle (BOV) and making sure you can deal with day to day inconviences as well.

I do welcome your input and comments though so if you have additional items you want to suggest please do so in the comments section below.

Also I want to remind you again to consider going by the Freedom Watch website and posting a comment thanking Judge Napolitano for allowing me to appear on freedom watch, you can do that here.  Jack on the Judge.

Tune in today to hear…

  • Why parts and tools should be part of your vehicle preps
  • Why you need to have preps in your vehicle beyond your BOB
  • The importance of maps, navigation aids and basic map reading skills
  • The rules of three for evac, three destinations, three routes to each destination and three rally points on each route
  • Having proper documentation
  • Having back up methods of communications
  • Reserve fuel – think in range not gallons
  • Day to day uses for items that can also help in an emergency
  • Plan on using your vehicle during a disaster, going on foot is last resort
  • What is the purpose of a BOB, what is not the purpose of a BOB
  • A winch is your friend, so are tow straps
  • If you own two vehicles one should be a truck or a jeep
  • Carrying firearms and less than lethal options
  • Common sense for dealing with check points, government over reaction, etc.
  • Properly stocking a BOL so you have a place to go, you can’t carry everything
  • Using a modular approach for items you don’t carry day to day but would need to load fast during an evac
