Devoting Time to the Dry Run “Practice”
Ryan Buford “The Next Generation” Audio player below!
In this episode, we explore the importance of taking a dry run – a testing process “practice” to mitigate the effects of possible failure.
In most situations where Murphy’s Law comes into play you’ll need to pull out all the stops and dig deep to pull through. But why wait until the worst possible time to test your process, your gear or your skills? By taking a little time and having fun along the way you can learn the holes in your plan and the shortcomings before they become critical failures.

For years we have been doing shows about building community and morphing communities into more powerful units to survive disaster. This show is going to be our first look at this topic in a 2 hour forum. I think we will have the ability to explore some of the topics of the past even further and really be able to understand the gems that are hiding in your community all over America. 
For this episode of Behind the Lines, we examine a specific text used in academia today which molds collegiate students thinking regarding society. A short review of the preceding episode will lead into this analysis. This dissection will develop into a critical examination of a cornerstone philosophy riveted into the social fabric of the collegiate world and influencing current cultural behaviors throughout society. 
Cultivation. It is the young plant – the seedling. The thing that we capture in the early stages of growth. We shelter young seeds and frail starts from the harshness of the world just long enough to allow them to grow on their own.
Hello all you great fans! I am very sorry I could not be on the internet air last week but it was unavoidable. Hey, we are going to make it up to you on this eposode! I have a show from the Ohio Prepper Show in Bowling Green Ohio. This show we talk to the founder of the show and longtime Prepper Nick Getzinger. He talks about this amazing show and his Prepper Business. Nick will also tell you about the Ohio Oath Keepers and what that organization does in support of the community. 
On this episode we are talking about off grid cooling. The ideal solution is to have enough solar or wind power that you can run a window unit or potable AC unit. However, we don’t all have that option. So this week we will be talking about some alternate cooling ideas that can be used in a grid-down scenario and are really cheap. Why do this? Because being grind down in the summer is going to suck. Anyone living in the summer heat and humidity that has had an air conditioner break knows what I am talking about. That AC stops working and your quality of life drops fast. We talk about some of the ancient ideas of using fans, airflow, and 
As we sit on the threshold of another Father’s Day it calls into question the idea of what fathers teach their sons and what skills you might have learned from your father as you grew up. That is most often the measure of your relationship with your father. It is hard to have a great relationship with a father who never taught you anything. Still, it’s a conversation worth having.
In the following player we are discussing the reality of the electric grid going down and a personal story about me being somewhat caught off-guard. I have been on vacation with my family this past week in the North Georgia area with Tropical Storm Alberto coming through. So, like a good little prepper, I packed a small propane stove, my EDC, my camping cook set, and a family size battery powered lantern. However, I was unprepared for the power going out unexpectedly and being off grid sucks. The power going out is different from camping and even preppers are not fully prepared to deal with it mentally. 
On this outing of the Gunmetal Armory… we dive back into Single Mom Survival and prepping. Something many moms think about is how to protect their children… in every day life, and in a worst case scenario. Any sort of SHTF situation would present problems very few single mothers have prepared for or even come close to handling… but we are gonna help you with that. This program, we are talking about Fortifications. How does a single mom or any mom work to fortify her home? What items are around her house that she can use to make that house a nightmare to come in to? Can you safely prepare the outside so you and your children are protected in the inside? 
Hey! How’ve you been? We need a catch up show. We have had such tremendous guests on lately and there has been so much to talk about I think its time we slow things down and have some fun. I plan on coming to this show with a decent stack of ideas, articles and updates but I also want the chatroom and our listeners to dictate the direction of this show. Why? Because that’s usually how it goes anyway! 
This episode the GMA we hit the ground running, probably trip, and fall on our faces. But then we get back up and give you a great show.
Which social media network do you spend most of your time on? How much time do you spend there? You might be embarrassed to admit. That’s fine. You are not unique in this. With the recent events on Youtube and Facebook as well as twitter silencing voices that they don’t agree with, it may be time to jump ship. You may be thinking that this social media thing has got to change. 
I wish I could say that there has been a gap since my last installment of this school shooting series. I wish I could say that the importance of this topic was fading and that maybe this collection of shows that I have done is going to be irreleavant. I would like to say that I had any confidence in the fact that this was an issue that was going to go away.
