So it is another call in Friday despite the fact that the ass clowns doing directional boring shut down the neighborhoods power for a few hours. Today the show was delayed, though I could have broadcasted on back up power it would have been hard to do a listener call show with out firing up the generator and waking up my night shift working neighbor.
Anyway we are back and ready to go, the final three calls by the way came in just this AM after I posted an alert on our Face Book Fan Page, if you are not our fan on Facebook, you should consider joining to get alerts like this via facebook.
Join me today as I take your calls on…
- The effect of monetary policy on the American Revolution
- Using coffee to deal with an allergic reaction
- Using plantain as a drawing agent for infections of venomous bites
- The eventual effect of the oil leak on gas prices
- How to bug out to the forest if you must
- Using gray water for irrigation and dealing with black water
- How the Icelandic Volcano effected cardiac patients in the U.S.
- What is the best choice for a “jump pack” for back up power

My view on survival planning is that running out into the forest to hide if the shit hits the fan is generally a very bad move, well in most situations. Today though we are going to look at camping in another light. When you camp you deal with out a lot of the conveniences we tend to take for granted, families communicate better (sometimes by force) and opportunities for leaning and contingency plan development present themselves.
Join Me Today as we Discuss…
