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-489- Security During a Break Down - Lessons from "The Colony" on Discovery [ 0:01 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

We are going to look at a bit of a darker subject today.  We are going to discuss security and not security on a day to day basis against say robbers, thugs and general low life.  We are going to discuss secruity and security planning for large scale and long term break downs.  Today’s show was prompted by Episodes 1 and 2 of season two of Discovery Channel’s show “The Colony”.  I have watch thus far in disbelief at how little attention the people on that show have paid to security and how little they understand the threat and honestly survival as a whole.

Today’s show won’t be totally based on The Colony, it will simply use it as a jumping off point so even if you haven’t or don’t plan on watching it today’s show should be a good one for you.  Security is one of the five primary components of survival and the one that is most overlooked, often not an issue but the one that when needed can get you killed in a milisecond.

Join me today as we discuss…

  • The five primary components of survival
    • Food
    • Water
    • Shelter
    • Fire
    • Security
  • Understanding the threat to your safety
  • Consideration about where you “make your stand”
  • Six methods of attack mitigation
    • Appease
    • Impede
    • Repel
    • Evade
    • Misdirect
    • Terminate
  • Identifying the weak spots
  • The lesson of 300 – Funnel an enemy to counter large numbers
  • How and why guns change the entire equation on both sides
  • The importance and difference between security “protocols” and “procedures”
  • Splitting up resources – no central storage points
  • Developing and deploying decoy resources
  • Developing timberlines and evac plans

Episode-272- Listener Questions 9-08-09 [ 47:38 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Time to kick off the short week with another round of listener questions on subjects like silver, gold, gardening, home heating, bug out bags, laser sights, neighborhood organizing for disasters and more.

We also welcome a new Sponsor (SQA Experts) and mention a notable assclown.  Who is the notable assclown?  The people overseeing the boy scouts in the UK.  Why?  Because they have decided it is to dangerous for a scout to carry a pen knife.

Tune in today as I answer the following questions…

  • How do you make sure gold and silver items are genuine?
  • What do I think of Obama’s speech to the school children?
  • What is the best way to get contact info from folks in your neighborhood for organizing during a disaster?
  • Should you keep alcohol in your BOB?  Why kind and why?
  • What about laser sites for handguns and carbines are they practical or just “cool guy stuff”?
  • Are pre 64 nickles silver?  Are any nickles silver?
  • If you move by choice to a BOL permanently should you consider getting another BOL or just become a “happy ant”?
  • How do you keep a remote BOL safe and secure if you are not living there?
  • How can you make a fireplace more efficient for home heating?
  • Is this a good time to lock in natural gas pricing with a long term contract?
