Episode 147 – Will Power

The psychological aspect of survival is my primary topic in this episode. Cody Lundin has often said that survival is about 80-90% psychological and I agree. Recently during the experience of moving, I’ve gained a greater appreciation for will power. Pushing ourselves beyond our self imposed limits, is a huge key to being prepared. If you’re attempting to build your own shelter, BOL or what have you, I bet your limits were tested weren’t they? Perhaps you’ve been hunting, fishing, trapping or simply just canning some food and frustration set it, or maybe you reached a point of wondering if you could handle any more of it? Perhaps someone has told you you’re “extreme” because you choose to do simple things like store food, water, ammunition and a generator? If any of these are yes answers, I think you’ll enjoy this show. Thanks for listening, Bob Mayne, Today’s Survival Show

Episode 146 – Cooking for survival.

Can you cook? Would you agree it’s a preparedness skill to be learned? I’ve always been a big believer that what you know is just as important as what you have. So in this episode I discuss alternative methods of starting fires for cooking, foods to cook in wilderness survival and what to teach kids about cooking. I also get into the importance of cookbooks, utensils, stocking your home or bug out location with cooking supplies, fishing and cleaning and eating fish and a lot of good stuff about different methods of cooking.
