Prepping 2.0

Intelligence Gathering and Analysis for Preppers with Sam Culper

In Episode 35, we have intel expert Sam Culper of Forward Observer who talks about intelligence for preppers. It’s not James Bond stuff; it’s much more practical than that. His book is SHTF Intelligence and is a must-read. In the After Show for Patreon supporters, he talks about the coming civil war (or, actually, low-intensity conflict). 

Gangs in the Collapse and Whether Law Enforcement will Follow Unconstitutional Orders with Officer “Mack”

In Episode 34, we have Officer “Mack” as a guest. He’s a law enforcement officer with extensive experience with gangs. He’s listened to high-level gang members tell him the gangs’ plans for the Collapse - you need to know this information.

The After Show, available exclusively to Patreon Supporters, he talks about whether law enforcement will follow unconstitutional orders. 

Why Preppers Need Gold and Silver with Joe Jaquint

In Episode 33, we have a special guest: Joe Jaquint of the Patriot Trading Group. He is one of the biggest sellers of gold and silver in the country and the guy Glen and Shelby use for their precious metals. He explains why preppers need at least some gold and silver and how to go about it the practical way. The After Show for Patreon Supporters is a free-wheeling blast. 

Bugging Out 101

In Episode 32, we talk about a big topic: when and how to bug out. We also cover how easy a ham radio test is, answer questions of Patreon supporters, and have a wild After Show. Glen is sick when we recorded this episode, so you get to hear him when he’s whacked out on cold medicine - hilarious! 

Female Self-Defense with Beth From Pretty Loaded

In Episode 31, Glen had to be out of town so Shelby flies solo and interviews Beth from Pretty Loaded. Beth is an expert in female self-defense. Shelby and Beth are peas in a pod and have a great discussion of the topic - and other topics. Men will benefit from hearing this, too. Shelby and Beth take this great discussion into the After Show, which is available exclusively to Patreon Supporters. 

Regional Differences in Prepping: Minnesota and Quebec

In Episode 30, we have experienced preppers Rick in Minnesota and Bruce in Quebec, Canada on to talk about prepping in their areas and the different issues they have compared to the rest of the US. The differences are more than just cold climates and gun laws - it’s fascinating. The After Show available to Patreon supporters is hilarious when Bruce, who speaks with a combination New Zealand and French Canadian accent, yells out everyone’s favorite word for liberals from Massachusetts (“Mass-holes!”).  

Hilarious Excuses for Not Prepping and Listener Mail

In Episode 29, we cover some reasons people give for not prepping and demolish them. You’ve probably heard them too - or maybe said them. We also read and discuss a listener’s email that will choke you up. We feature our weekly “I Miss America” moment. Patreon supporters make this show possible. Please be one.

Four Types of Prepper Spouses and Blended Families when SHTF

In Episode 28, we talk about something no one else does: prepper marriages. Specifically, we discuss the four types of prepper spouses. Then we talk about another thing no one else does: how deal with step kids who live outside your house when SHTF. Do you try to rescue them? Leave them there? Tough choices. In the After Show, we talk about “moderates” who are afraid to fight hiding behind intellectualism and we answer questions from Patreon supporters. 

Bug Out Location Selection Expert Brian Domke

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.

The Real Dan Morgan and Alaska Prepping

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.
