Prepping 2.0

Why Prepper Fiction Is More Than Just Fiction with Dee Cooper of The Written Apocalypse

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.

A 51st State? A 52nd and 53rd? with Lady Liberty

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.  

The Journey from Prepping 1.0 to 2.0 (and more) with Caz

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.

Comms for Preppers with a Special Ops Guy

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.

Homesteading and Prepping: Similarities and Differences with Derek

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.

Episode 20 - Anatomy of a Team (Spokane Team)

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.

Episode 19 - Communications from Listeners and John Jacob Schmidt on AmRRON

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).

Episode 18 - What Preppers Can Learn from a Mercenary with Shawn Swanson

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.

Episode 17 - The Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy and Who’s Funding It with author Jeff Reynolds

Prepare for the most likely threat. And, right now, that’s the Left. Jeff Reynolds, author of the book Behind the Curtain, tells us about how the Left is funded by billionaires - and how that affects your prepping. On the After Show for Patreon supporters, we talk about how the Left’s power is making people like you become preppers. We also talk about why conservatives suck at politics - and why it’s OK. The website for the show is www.prepping2-0.com. Pre-order/order your copy of Behind the Curtain here.

Episode 16 - Prepping Must Be Practical and Antifa: Joke or Threat?

Some preppers treat prepping as a hobby or intellectual pursuit; it’s neither. Prepping is about being practical, getting stuff done, and not obsessing with little details that get in the way of getting it done. We also talk about the two school of thought on whether antifa is a joke or a serious threat. The After Show for Patreon supporters covers the idea of not networking due to “op sec” and other topics.
