Send us Fan Mail

Coming up this week on “The Prepping Academy” join host Forrest and Kyle for a little it of interactive fun. We’ll be taking a small break from all the regular programming to dig deeper in to the minds of the host by playing a little “Conflicted.If you’ve never heard of “Conflicted” it is a card game with a variety of emergency and Prepping scenarios. The objective of the game is to stimulate in depth conversations with family, friends, and potential members of a MAG group. Everyone listening is encouraged to join in on the chat room to contribute.This game is highly recommend for any level of Prepper. It will help you understand your personal morals and standards. It may also show you where you draw the line between the will to live and morality. Some people wouldn’t even go as far as eating their own household pet to survive. On the other hand some may look at their neighbors as food…… When it comes to establishing leadership this could be a useful tool to see who comes out as the most fit. Though it may also be a tool for separating the wheat from the chaff so to speak. There are plenty of people who may just shut down under the pressure. So far better to ask these questions now than to face them down the road and be sorely disappointed.In addition to being fun and a screening tool, this can also be helpful for visualization. Setting your mind for a variety of scenarios may save your life down the road. Hesitation should almost be always avoided. So by all means, ask yourself these questions and visualize the results.This week’s conspiracy theory with Kyle is something 99.999% of you have in your home, use twice a day, and have no idea what it’s really doing to your body. So tune in to find out what it is and what you can do about it.http://preppingacademy.com/

The First 24 Hours Mar 24, 2017

Welcome to “The Prepping Academy.” Coming up this week Forest and Kyle are going to be covering the age old Prepper questions: when do I bug out and what happens in the first 24 hours. Let’s just say that you are in for a reality check.Depending on the emergency you may or may not have a warning. An EMP would mean death for millions of Americans. Government studies estimate the majority of the US population would be dead within the first year of an EMP, or extended power supply failure. That means nearly 800,000 people dying around you every single day. It’s safe to assume most of those deaths would be early on.In some cases you may have little time to prepare, but some is better than none. A major concern for many is living in a city or area near a military base. What happens when martial law is declared. There’s a lot of speculation. Do you have hours, or even days to escape before martial takes place? We’ll provide some realistic perspective to this situation.Above all, we’ll be discussing the most important thing you can do for any event. Have a meaningful action plan, clear communication with family members, and be organized. A lot of Preppers have the planning, the bug out location, but no practical means to transport their goods. Spoiler Alert: They’re going to die.This week for Kyle’s conspiracy theory he will be covering a conspiracy theory that is literally out of this world. Well, not too far out. Maybe just floating around in our very own orbit. If you’ve never heard of “Black Knight” you’re in for a treat. And you’ll probably feel encouraged to research this one on your own.Be sure to listen in, favorite, subscribe, like, or maybe just recommend to family and friends like the good old days.http://preppingacademy.com/

Prepper and Survival Skills: Avoid being tracked and know how to be the tracker Mar 17, 2017

Prepper and Survival Skills: Avoid being tracked be the trackerJoin Forrest and Kyle as they discuss how to avoid being tracked and become the tracker.Today’s world presents a variety of privacy and security concerns. Data collection programs leave the majority of the public open to opportunistic criminals. Information could even be used against you without your knowledge. Fake social media accounts, comments, and financial information could even set you up for criminal charges. There are plenty of things you can do to avoid these issues, but what about the issues you can’t control? What happens when your own government profiles you based on keywords you use over the phone, email, or text and then they dictate the narrative? It can happen, has happened, and will happened again.This week’s topic is going to work within Kyle’s conspiracy theory. Depending on how long you’ve been prepping you may or may not have heard of the notorious “Red & Blue List.” Allegedly being on this list qualifies you for one of two things: elimination, or reeducation. With all the government spy programs casting an indiscriminate net of data collection with little oversight there’s no doubt innocent civilians are bound to get caught up. The question is whether or not these concerns are legitimate. Is there evidence to back up FEMA camps? Reeducation? Forced Labor? Assassination?For a moment, imagine the worst case scenarios. Economic collapse, EMP, war, food shortages, and martial law. The government is now seizing “assets” via executive orders. Only now it’s understood that those assets may include you and your family. How can you avoid being hunted? How far off the grid do you need to go? Can you avoid dogs, drones, thermal imaging? There are materials and methods someone can use even today to assist them.http://preppingacademy.com/

Bushcraft is a skill all Preppers and survivalist must have. Mar 10, 2017

Coming up next week on “The Prepping Academy” Kyle and Forrest will be discussing bushcraft. Isn’t that for survivalist and mountain men? It’s for everybody! Learning bushcraft skills should be one of the fountains stones for your preparedness pyramid.Before we get in to the fun world of bushcraft we’ll by diving in to the mind of Kyle to discuss his conspiracy of the week. This week is going to get weird. Kyle is going to be talking about the coming uprising from artificial intelligence. There are many different faucets of life which AI can undermine. The job market, economics, and even military applications we’ve designed could be used against us.Now bushcraft for some may mean going out in to the woods and simply being able to build a shelter and start a fire. Those are handy skills to have, but what if we took away everything, left you on an island, and said we’d pick you up in six months? Guess what, you’re not surviving without some serious bushcraft skills. The first step to bushcraft is building your kit. For some this means slight modifications to their bug out bag. Others it means completely restarting it.Bushcraft also has a lot to do with knowledge. Learning your natural resources,medicinal and edible plants, and making tools. Learn to work smarter; not harder. There are simple wooden tools and machines you can make out in the wilderness. If you have the necessary tools you can also delve in to blacksmithing.Now folks, with any topic like gardening, bushcraft, firearms, etc. there are a plethora of things to be learned and discussed. Currently we have a one hour time slot to discuss. If you have further questions please feel free to join the chat and politely ask. We’re always open to feedback and discussion.http://preppingacademy.com/

Gardening for Preppers and Survivalist. There’s not a single good reason anyone could give for not building a seed bank. In the eventuality of a grid down scenario, or even unemployment, a seed bank could be life saving.Before Forrest and Kyle get in to gardening they’ll be going over “Kyle’s Conspiracy of the Week.” This week Kyle will be talking about mysterious deaths rarely appearing in mainstream media stories. What makes these death so mysterious it’s just the way these people died, but that there are clusters of people within the same professions dying.Jumping right in to gardening we’ll be talking about the basics first. How much land does a person need to grow food for the year? What kind of seeds should you be buying? Is there a right and wrong way to store you seeds? How much water, sun, and fertilizer do you need? What crops could you be growing as cash crops for bartering?Those are just a few questions you’ve probably been thinking about.From there Forrest and Kyle will be discussing gardening techniques for growing a small, but high yield garden for those struggling with space. Those with small yards, apartments, and town homes definitely encouraged to listen. We’ll also be covering “companion gardening.” Growing certain plants together will help them have a higher yield.Last, but not least we’ll be discussing some less thought of concerns for your garden. In a WROL world, SHTF, and social unrest; how exactly is someone supposed to garden? What about your security concerns? Your garden could be wiped out, or stolen from ove night. What would you do then? Your garden is also highly visible and can alert others of the fact that you have food and residence. So we’ll also discuss a few ways to minimize your footprint.Like us on iTunes!!!http://preppingacademy.com/

Best Guns for Preppers and Survivalist Feb 24, 2017

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

On “The Prepping Academy” join Forrest and Kyle as they talk guns for defense. As American diplomacy, politics, and society falls apart anyone with a sane mind should be considering owning a gun and preparing for a WROL (with rule of law) America. Heck, probably a few. Why a few? The simple fact is that guns are tools. If you’ve ever gardened you know that you wouldn’t use a flat shovel to plow; just like you wouldn’t use a broad fork to dig a well. So don’t go in to a gun shop with a mindset that “a gun is a gun.” And for the love of all that is holy and sane, do not buy a gun from the gun shop that tries to say a shotgun is the only weapon you need for home defense.With the view that every gun is a tool, Kyle and Forrest will be diving straight in to the best guns for a prepper. Personal recommendations and experience go a long way in this industry. The first tool we’ll be discussing is what some call their “main battle rifle.” This is typically an AR15, AK47, or a variant. Some folks may consider these weapons overkill. Keep in mind once again that we’re discussing far more than economic difficulties. Our nation is primed for civil war and social unrest. Finding yourself in a fair fight means you’ve already lost.The next weapon type our host will be covering is your secondary. 99% of the time this mean a pistol. It’s reserved for concealed carry, and backup for when your MBR is down. Learning to transition between your primary and secondary is an important skill. Above all skills though every prepper needs to do one essential thing with their firearms: PRACTICE. This doesn’t mean goofing off at the range. Because let’s be honest; that’s exactly what going to a range is. If your shooting practice isn’t dynamic you’re setting yourself up for failure.Give us a good rating on iTunes!!!www.preppingacademy.com

Body armor life saving tactical gear for preppers and survivalist. Upcoming on “The Prepping Academy”. Hey guys and gals, coming up this week on “The Prepping Academy” we’re going to be covering fun life saving tactical gear. That’s right, we’ll be talking body armor. We’ll be having a special guest Chad from Infidel Body Armor on this topic joining us for the show. Either way it’s going to be extremely informative and helpful in making you Armor and chest rig selection.Now in any SHTF scenario protection is a must. You wouldn’t play football without a helmet would you? So would you really go in to a potential gun battle without life saving armor? We should think not. Not all body armor is created equal. There are a ton of opinions. Some are lighter, but lack multi hit capabilities. Others have multi hit capabilities, but can weigh up to 10lbs per plate. So what’s the right choice? And if you’re getting armor you’ll need a plate carrier. What the heck is that and what works best?Once you get your armor and your plate carrier the real fun begins.How do you set up your chest rig? MOLLE pouches, knives, IFAKs, multitools, coms pouch, smoke grenades, the possibilities are endless! Like anything though, there’s a right way and a wrong way. Adding too much gear will slow you down. We’ll be actually taking a look at Kyle and Forrest personal chest rigs. So join us for all the conversation and fun.http://preppingacademy.com/

Urban Survival! Feb 10, 2017

Coming up on “The Prepping Academy” our host Forrest and Kyle are going to be discussing urban survival. You might be thinking to yourself this doesn’t apply to you. Let us assure you it does. Current statistics say that approximately 82% of the United States population lives in an “urban environment.” That number is projected to climb to nearly 90% by 2030.The average commute to and from work is 25.4 minutes. A car accident, stalled car, injured pedestrian, school bus, and weather can double that on a bad day. What happens though if those roads become impassable? Can you make it home by foot? What tools do you carry every day to help you? Getting home is priority one. Forrest and Kyle will be discussing how this can be done while keeping a low profile.Now that you’ve made it home you need to think about survival. Maybe you live in a small bungalow, apartment, or studio with no land to grow on. So how exactly do you intend to provide for yourself, family, or friends. Kyle will be discussing some alternative growing systems that you can do with very little space.http://preppingacademy.com/

Force Multipliers for Preppers and Survivalist Feb 03, 2017

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

On “The Prepping Academy” Forrest and Kyle will be discussing force multipliers. If you’re not familiar with what these are this is going to be a good show to not only listen in on, but participate in the live chat and ask questions. The essence of a force multiplier is any tool or tactic that gives you the upper hand. It’s a very broad term and can encompass everything from gear to morale.This week Kyle will be touching on something that he’s a bit passionate about. Holocaust deniers and replacement theology. There is a strong agenda today by some to deny the Holocaust, and even WWII ever happened. This is done in order for some demographics to claim they are the real Jews or superior to others. You may never realize it’s there and how dangerous it is until it’s too late.Starting our force multiplier discussion we’ll be talking about some force multipliers you can take care of that cost you absolutely nothing. Mental preparation, map reading skills, land navigation, knowing how to read the weather, night travel by constellation, recruiting, intel gathering, deception, and above all- learn to have a reputation that precedes you. Psychological intimidation is an art form very seldom utilized. How would it be to intimidate an adversary so much that all conflict was avoided? We’ll discuss on the next show methods to do this.After that comes everyone’s favorite part when dealing with force multipliers- gear. We’ll spend a small portion talking about night vision goggles, thermal vision, personal recommendations, GPS, radios,and other force multiplying gear to help you prepare for whatever you may be expecting. If you’re fighting a fair battle you’re already losing. So whether our manned or out gunned we’ll be throwing you some helpful ideas in pursuit of preparedness.http://preppingacademy.com/
