In Episode 27, we’re joined by Brian Domke of Strategic Landscape Design. He provides expert guidance to preppers looking at bug out locations by assessing them for water, food production, off-grid energy, and security. You can learn a ton about your own location or be thinking about what to look for in a parcel in the future. The After Show was pretty raucous; something about being in a hotel room with us and someone wearing a tank top, “Daisy Dukes,” and high heels. Hmmm… Patreon supporters get access to the After Show.

In Episode 26, we are joined by the real Dan Morgan, the commander of the gate guards in 299 Days who also makes an appearance in Shelby Gallagher’s upcoming third book. He has experience defending military airfields and was a K9 handler; he gives tips to preppers on security your bug out location and dogs. He lives in Alaska and talks about the unique prepping issues there. In the After Show, we answer Patreon’s questions for Dan and play “Dead or Canadian,” where Dan guesses if minor celebrities are, well, dead or Canadian. The After Show is available to Patreon Supporters who contribute a whopping $2 a month to fund the show. It’s kinda worth it - I mean, dead or Canadian? What’s not to love about that. Oh, and a ton of great prepping information. 

In Episode 25, we’re joined by Dee Cooper, a prepper fiction author and creator of The Written Apocalypse, a Facebook group for prepper fiction readers. Hear why prepper fiction is much, much more than just entertaining - it’s key knowledge. In the After Show, available to Patreon supporters, we play “Live or Die” with Dee (hilarious), talk about good people in New England (they exist!), and feminism. Glen does his best Boston accent. Fun stuff.

In Episode 24, we’re joined by Lady Liberty, the spokeswoman for the proposed new State of Liberty, which is eastern Washington splitting off from western Washington. It’s a for-real thing and could very easily happen. We also talk about gerrymandering and the idea of the current 50-state United States breaking up. You don’t hear these kinds of topics anywhere else, so please support the show by becoming a Patreon supporter for as little as $2 a month.  

In Episode 23, we’re joined by Caz who hosts the YouTube channel 4th Dimension. We talk about evolving as a prepper, divorce and remarriage, and more. In the After Show for Patreon supporters, we talk about CW2 (Civil War 2) and play “Live or Die,” which is where look at a photo of someone and discuss if they’ll live or die in the Collapse.

In Episode 22, we’re joined by NC Scout, a former special operations communications guy. His website, Brushbeater, is a gold mine of information. We talk about practical, do-able things preppers can do for comms. In the After Show for Patreon supporters, we play our new game: Live or Die. It’s a game Shelby and Glen developed where we look at someone and instantly assess whether they’ll likely live or die in the Collapse. It’s full of stereotypes, generalizations, and “judginess.” There is no political correctness here. After playing the game, NC Scout discusses his view of the future of America and what the Collapse will look like. Fascinating stuff.

In Episode 21, we hear from Derek, who  has been homesteading for over 20 years. He has a lot of insight about transitioning - slowly and practically! - from prepping to homesteading. Think of homesteading as Prepping 3.0. In the After Show for Patreon supporters, we talk about the starving masses or local criminals being your biggest threat, how many calories you realistically will need in the Collapse, and answer Patreons’ questions. Enjoy. Learn more at www.prepping2-0.com.

Our guests formed a team in Spokane and have grown it. They tell you all about how to do this. Really in depth information about how to do what all Prepping 2.0’ers need to know: forming a team. In the After Show, we answer Patreon supporters’ questions. Over an hour of fabulous discussion on a wide variety of topics.

We read and discuss two amazing letters from listeners who tell us how the show is impacting them. We also hear from John Jacob Schmidt, host of the Radio Free Redoubt podcast and radio show and the head of the AmRRON, the American Redoubt Radio Operators Network, an amazing Patriot ham radio network. There’s no After Show on this episode (it’s a long story).

Shawn Swanson is a private military contractor who has seen and done it all. He’s a character in both A Great State and 299 Days. Shawn tells us how his experiences translate into being a better prepper. He talks about the future of America and how mutual assistance groups, like the Team in the 299 Days books series, will function like private military contractors to survive. In the After Show for Patreon supporters, we answer Patreon’s questions on drones, night vision, and food preps. Shawn will motivate you to be better person and prepper.
