Are you Prepared for Recovery?
James Walton “I Am Liberty ” Audio player below!
In our own lives we face serious illness and injuries and it turns out that most of the time we have what we need to recover. We either have it on hand or we can quickly go get some. What happens when we are living in a world where resources are limited?
No matter how well prepared you are you are going to get sick or get hurt. That is a given. Don’t fall into the strange survival thinking of WILLPOWER OVER ALL. I was listening to a pretty famous survivalist talk about his WILL and he was telling the group how he had such a strong WILL that nothing could keep him from getting to his son, who was about 50 yards away at a booth.

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. 
This show covers all the things Dave has by way of Perps and why he has them. He will cover every step of his plan and share the thought process he went through to get to this point in his preparedness. As Dave always says, “Perpping is a process not a destination” and he will explain this as he talks about where he would like to be in the future. This show will dive deep into the Perpper mindset and help beginners and longtime Prepper examine their own situation. Dave will talk about his goals and baby steps everyone can take to get to a higher level of preparedness. 
For many in the prepared world it is basic knowledge or at least presumed that in order to survive we must prepare. How one goes about this preparedness issue is personal to each, some focusing on one particular path at a time but with the ultimate goal to be prepared for what ever comes our way. But are preparedness and will to survive the same thing? 
Oh man did you see that he just pulled a MacGyver that whole thing! What? What did I just say. Yes in fact I said he MacGyver’d something or other. He created the solutions. In today’s colloquial American English lexicon when someone “MacGyvers” a solution to a problem, they find a simple yet elegant solution to something using existing resources. 
Have you ever seen or been involved in a major traumatic event and wondered how you survived? Do you believe that you did something wrong by surviving a traumatic event when others did not? If you were in the crowd of the Las Vegas shooting or a passenger in one of the Amtrak derailments, you may ask yourself why you survived. Are you a soldier, medical professional, law enforcement officer, EMT, or firefighter thinking you could have done more to save the life of someone? Do you find yourself thinking about what you could have done differently to save a life or reduce a person’s suffering? 
New Year’s Day has come and gone already….. as the New Year arrives and begins there are always thoughts of change, perhaps renewal and growth. Winter in the northern hemisphere at least has always been a time of respite, rest, rejuvenation from the passing year. Our ancestors new this to be the time before great change and so it is that we still connect the New Year with that of changes, celebrated with claims or resolutions. Truth be told resolutions all revolve around a common core.. CHANGE… something is going to change or should. 
With the influx of disasters and attack in 2017 I made the proclamation back in October that it was the year of the prepper. Never before have we been faced with so many major league disasters that touched on so many issues. Just think of the various conversations that are brewing in this nation based on the year 2017.

In this show we will be continuing the theme from last week. EK is back and will be discussing when to let a person die. One of the hardest and most loving things you can do is let a person go. I do not mean from a relationship when you find one does not love the other. I am talking about when they are dying and there is nothing that can 
The Great Divide for some will conjure up thoughts of the Continental Divide, a geological divide of the America’s by mountain ranges that drain to the Pacific and the Atlantic, but for others the Great Divide might be bring thoughts of music of a band so called and still others will think of a 2012 movie comedy while others will think of it in terms of society and those things that divide us. 
In this show EK is back. She will be talking about a very tough topic. Death, dying, and the stages we all go through in the process. In this show we will be discussing what stages a person goes through when they know they are dying, knowing when to let someone go, what happens when someone is dying, how to handle and cope with what is happening, and what to do with the body once they pass away. 
Becoming prepared is a fluid thing, just when you think you have the bases covered something else seems to pop up. Part of the reason of course is the very nature of preparing. Preparedness means you are ready! (Ready for what?), becomes the question of course. There are so many areas of our lives, that becoming prepared in all of them is quite the challenge. In actuality how wonderful is that?
