Who you know Connections
Kid Communities Part 4
Ryan Buford “The Next Generation” Audio player below!
I’ve learned through the years that it’s not so much what you know – it’s who you know. As an adult, I find it difficult to explain this at times to the younger generations. Everything from job seeking to skill building to survival hinges on our ability to serve others and receive help in times of need. But it all begins with a connection. Whether it be family connections or acquaintances or complete strangers who hold a similar value system, a community of like-minded individuals will be able to weather storms and stresses of life and help each other in the process.

A single strand of rope can be broken easily. Two strands is a little tougher to break. But weaving three or four strands together you will find how strong a tightly knit community can truly be. Just like rope that is intertwined, the people in a community serve to strengthen the whole. Mainstays of a healthy body, healthy heart, strong hands, and strong mind are deeply seated in the meaning of this show and 4H. 
Kid communities are a critical part of growing up and learning to survive. Having a network of friends was and still is a critical part of how you can identify with a group, what you can contribute, and where you fit in.
Growing up, the kids we ran with set the stage for who we would grow up to be. We had our own Sandlot and Platoon and Mission Impossible teams. But even in our little groups there was a sense of understanding that one of us could do things better than another. We learned through play fighting, street games, races and the like who was the best at pinning down an opponent, outsmarting the person who was “it,” and who could sprint distances without the slightest sense of exhaustion. 
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. 
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. This show was a Prepper show, gun show, Monster Truck race and fireworks display! 
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. 
Dave answers questions from last week’s show on how to conduct a Prepper exercise. He reviews what “crawl, walk, run” means when exercising alone or in a group. Then Dave talks about a very important question that every Prepper needs to ask and that is how to pick people to join your group. Dave tells you what you should look for in a possible candidate and how to bring up Prepping to someone you would like to have along in a grid down situation. Dave covers the factors that may limit your prospects and should be considered before you approach someone about Prepping up. 
his week Dave tackles a tough question that many Preppers have thought about. Only a few have done anything to ensure success with Prepper Leadership. If you are the leader of your group either by design or by simple happen stance you will want to know things you should do to make sure you have success. 
In this show I give a recap of Prepper Camp 2017. I give a quick overview of the classes that were held and what I gained from them. We also discuss what some of the other attendees said about their experience. I walked around and talked to people about why they were there and what they hoped to learn. I asked people about what motivated them to prepare. What they liked and what they didn’t. 
The community is our greatest ally. It’s not our bugout bag, our network of government moles or even our high-powered arsenal. All the information in the world cannot help you if it all comes crashing down. When you look at real life disaster, natural disaster, its neighbors helping neighbors. Of course, the prepper issue is our neighbors will become enemies because they are not prepared. Well, can we change that? I have been a part of this community for 5 years
