thought it might be a good time to just back up a bit and talk about some the unique concepts that we have developed together at The Survival Podcast.  Notice I said we not I because from day one the audience has been a huge part of not just the show but its’ development, direction and evolution.

Tune in today as I discuss…

• Why made “The Grasshopper and the Ant” part of modern survivalism
• A quick retelling of the original story of the Grasshopper and the Ant”
• How disaster commonality can eliminate worrying about exactly “what” we prepare for
• What must we accept if we are to become prepared
• Why the media shows us horrors but always then says, “everything is just fine”
• Why and how the abundance in our stores isn’t abundant at all
• Why we can’t rely on government during a disaster even though they do try to help
• Why the economy can’t recover long term with out a complete overhaul (crash)
• Why conspiracy theorists are not always wrong even when they aren’t right either
• Three questions that open the door to discuss prepping with others
  • Do you think we could ever have a real pandemic?
  • Do you think that if we did they would quarantine people?
  • If that happened how long could you stay well fed and comfortable?
• Why debt and survivalism are mutually exclusive
• Why preparing for a specific event, eventually leads to failure
• Why preparing for nothing to go wrong is the way to prepare for anything that goes wrong
• What do you want, what do you really want, what if God asked you to be happy?
