Episode-547- Prepper, Survivalist or Homesteader

Is there a difference between the prepper, the survivalist and the homesteader?  If so does it even really matter?  What common ground do all three self identified groups share?  What is the difference between societies view of each group and the reality of the individuals that make them up?  Today we examine these and other issues about modern survivalism and our various sub groups.

Join me today as I discuss…

  • What is a survivalist
  • What is a prepper
  • What is a homesteader
  • Why does society characterize any individualist
  • What role does economics play in our lives
  • Why do we have to at least pay some attention to politics
  • Why we are actually the “normal” members of society
  • The recipe for success
    • Develop minimal systemic independence (self sufficiency)
    • Develop sufficient forward wealth  (self reliance)
    • Focus on what you want in your life
    • Be informed but not overly influenced by society
    • Focus on and defend liberty
    • Be a teacher and a student at all times
