Due some business commitments I was not able to record a show this morning on my drive in. The show will return Monday, I am also kicking around the idea of a “weekend edition” this week to make up for today by recording a show on my drive home tonight. No promises but I will see what I can do.

As modern survivalists and preppers we plan in various ways to deal with man disasters. Yet one disaster almost everyone must deal with sooner or later is the loss of a job. For a family this can be a disaster, for a well prepped person it is nothing more then an unfortunate occurance and can even be a blessing. Given we talk about how there is no downside to prepping around here and how we should prepare for “personal disaster” first because it is the most likely I thought it was past time to do a show on specifically what … Continue reading →

In an effort to provide more “what you can do” action items I decided to do a show today on common foods we eat every day and mostly can buy in any supermarket that will store well. I though in a lot of ideas of what to do with this food day to day so you can eat what you store and store what you eat. I finish up with how long term storage meats from providers like Mountain House compliment this approach very well. I am also continuing with a current events intro segment prior to housekeeping again do … Continue reading →

Today I go through a variety of items many preppers overlook or even if they have them in place they are not organized as part of their preps. Some are simple and practical like certain overlooked forms of insurance. We look at the simple value of spare sets of keys, contact lists, over the counter meds and more. Don’t forget the pets, we talk about that a bit too today. I also cover things like practic drills, safety deposit boxes (why you need one, you may not have thought of this), simple cheap AC invertors, simple back up battery power … Continue reading →

Today we actually have two topics to discuss, first I will give you my initial thoughts on the new reality television series “The Colony“. This show was a pleasant surprise so far so tune in to get my thoughts on this show that places 10 folks into a true SHTF scenario. Then I switch gears and get you thinking about your fall gardening projects. I know it is mid summer, temps are over 100 in many areas and fall seems miles away. It isn’t! Many of us are already 14 weeks or less to our first killing frost and need … Continue reading →
There will be no Survival Podcast today as I will be taking my old buddy Lakota to the vet in about an hour to be put down. Lakota was a good buddy, we spent over a decade together and it is a sad day for me but I know it is time. He stopped taking food and water last night and can barely stand. He has had problems for about a year but seemed happy so we just took care of him. We reached the end of the road last night, after a lifetime of caring for animals a man … Continue reading →
