Episode 14 - Miscellaneous Preparedness Tips Mar 08, 2009

Show notes

Rob, Greg and Mike discuss a wide variety of preparedness topics and tips. There is so much information that we would like to give out, but there is a finite amount of time for the podcasts (which is why they keep getting longer and longer!). In an effort to to cover more, we decided to review a list called "100 Things to Disappear in a Disaster." Overall, this seems more like someone's shopping list than a true listing of supplies that will quickly disappear, but it provides a good tool to use as a Think List - something that gets you thinking about other things. Even though the podcast went over 2 hours, we were only able to get through the first 50 list items, but there was some good discussion on these topics.

Episode 11 - Guns for Home Defense Feb 18, 2009

Show notes

This Episode's topic is on Defensive guns, particularly for Home Defense. In our past Episodes, we have geared our discussions towards beginning preps, but in this show, we're going to be talking about concepts beyond beginning preparedness. In order to be serious about defending yourself and your family, you need a firearm. There's no other tool that allows you even the 'playing field' against criminals. DISCLAIMER: Know your locals laws. Get professional training. Do your own research.

Episode 9 - Preparing to Survive an Economic Crash Feb 08, 2009

Show notes

This Episode we look at some things you can do to put your self in a better position for the coming Economic Crash. We cover things that you can do both before and after a job loss, including some potentially controversial things. One thing we weren't sure if we made it clear was to start looking for alternative sources of income. The best time to do this is when you have a job and not after. Developing alternate revenue streams and downsizing what you spend on every month can go a long way to surviving an economic crisis.
