How to handle yourself after a personal attack is one of the most important survival skills you will learn. What to say to the Police afterwards can make you or break you. In this show, I interview a listener and also a Deputy Sheriff in Minnesota. He gives us his very good common sense perspective on handling yourself if you’re attacked or even a witness to a crime.
Highlights:
Why victims stories often change.
How to handles the police.
Non gun self defense weapons.
How to find good legal representation.
Why be the first to call 911?
Using recordings to your advantage.

Modern technology can be a good asset for survival. Too often many preppers discount it stating that most technological devices are “unreliable.” In this episode I will try to bust that myth. I will concede the fact that you can’t rely 100% on technological devices to save your butt. However, there are common disasters that do not necessarily cause cell phone towers or satellites to go down. I did this entire podcast with my iphone to prove that there are a lot of creative ways to use technology now, before the STHF.
Highlights:
Using Facebook and Twitter as survival tools.
Using your camera phone and video function on your smartphone.
Ham Radios.
CB Radios.
Using your computer as a survival tool.
Using CD’s, flashdrives and DVD’s as survival tools.
Power inverters are simple emergency items that come in handy.
Text messaging as a survival tool.
Using your camera phone to record inventory.
Getting accident reports and weather reports using technology.
Apartment survivalism is entirely possible and very realistic. Too many people think that because they don’t have a large homestead with a lot of rural property, that they cannot take steps to get prepared for common every day disasters. In this episode, I do an interview with Frazer Kon from our forum. He joins me from Canada and discussed what he’s done to prepare while living in a first floor apartment. A lot of what you will hear him say also applies to anyone and applies to living a more secure life right now!
Highlights:
Storing food in an apartment.
Storing water in an apartment.
Gardening.
Apartment security.
Financial planning for renters.
Preparing for power loss in apartments.
Modifying furniture to provide storage space.
Present day bartering example.
Having a plan.

Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) is a multi-disciplinary approach to deterring criminal behavior through environmental design. CPTED strategies rely upon the ability to influence offender decisions that precede criminal acts. So in this episode, I get into detail as to what you an do to strengthen your resolve against criminal activity. CPTED was originally coined and formulated by criminologist C. Ray Jeffery. A more limited approach, termed defensible space, was developed concurrently by architect Oscar Newman. Both men built on the previous work of Elizabeth Wood, Jane Jacobs and Schlomo Angel.
Highlights:
The importance of a network of people in your neighborhood dedicated to security.
This is NOT a SHOW about GUNS!
Tips to keep the perimeter and your interior of your home safe.
Whether you are a new prepper or experienced prepper, I think it’s safe to say that it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the task of getting ready for what may come. That’s why I’m convinced some people don’t do it. They want to, but it’s too overwhelming or they don’t know where to start. They also don’t want people to make fun of them so they don’t even try. Can you relate? Tune into this show for some tips on how to take it one step at a time. This show is inspired by an excellent blog post on The Survival Blog.
Highlights:
The social, political, and psychological themes encountered in TEOTWAWKI seems to make some people bristle, why?
The amount of information to be taken in, the sudden awareness of your vulnerability.
Inflation is a huge issue and it’s not discussed nearly enough. Survivalists are often so worried about natural disasters, apocalyptic events and TEOTWAWKI that money and investments are sometimes neglected. If you are buying gold, silver, real estate and other diversified investments, tune in to hear some important info about global inflation and the world situation. Also tune in for more information on bartering and negotiation from my guest appearance on the Doctor Prepper Show.
Please remember the Freedom Raffle, get your tickets to support gun rights and this show, win a gun, a holster, or a knife!
Investment strategy for survival is a multi-faceted approach. I was recently asked if I thought firearms and ammo were a good investment for survival. So in this episode I’ll discuss it. I’ll give you both sides and let you decide. In segment 2 I will tell you about a personal experience at a luncheon on Wednesday where there was an OK2A representative and they were also soliciting for the GOA. It was a negative experience. Tune in for details. Remember the Freedom Raffle, get your ticket, don’t waste $10 this week and buy a ticket!

It’s About Freedom and this is a short continuation of Episode 99. What do we have if we don’t have our freedom? Now more than ever, people are worried that their freedom is eroding. I don’t ask for much from you. I just ask that you give me an hour a week or so to tune in. I’m worried the curmudgeons in the Government are going to chip away at what this country is founded upon.
So please tune in and take a moment to support some good “freedom building” causes. I’ve got an exciting raffle going on right now, click here for more details and tune in to this show.
