Today its Friday so it’s time for expert council show. To ask a question for a show like this, just send an email to me at jack at thesurvivalpodcast.com with “TSPC Expert” in the subject line.
Today on The Survival Podcast, the expert council answers questions on decluttering, solar power, wicking beds, cats, online selling, cooking meat, investing, guns and more.
In the body of your email first tell me the council member your question is for. Second ask your question concisely in one to two sentences maximum. Third any and all details after that. This is the formula to give you the best chance of getting on the air.
I do what I can to get as many of your questions as possible on the air but can’t always get to all of them. Our council is made of a wide variety of experts in everything from the tactical to the practical and everything in between.
To get more information on our Expert Council visit our “Meet the Expert Council Page” to learn more about them and their specific areas of expertise.

Regarding the Ruger American rifle, another good caliber option is also .300 Blackout. They will still use AR magazines, and they have good sectional density with a heavy bullet compared to x39. .300 BO is relatively easily available, Dunham’s Sporting Goods and Walmart both near me carry .300 BO. I don’t know the laws in Pennsylvania regarding suppressors, but it’s a caliber that suppresses well.
Regarding 7.62×39 ammo availablity, while I agree that the ammo will likely be available for a long time, I wouldn’t wait to start stocking some. It used to be x54R was everywhere dirt cheap, but I haven’t seen spam cans around in more than five years. 5.45×39 used to be a pretty cheap round, but import restrictions made it dry up. It’s unlikely that the US and Russia start slinging nukes and all trade stops, but more likely is the US preventing more coming in, like what happened with Norinco guns and ammo.
