Community Disaster Preparedness
James Walton “I Am Liberty ” Audio player below!
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.

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.
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 
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? 
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. 
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. 
History reports that George Santayana once famously quoted, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” A very famous line that we are seeing applies more and more these days. Mark Twain also famously commented on this same quote when he said, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” This week we will be talking about learning history, more specifically learning the history of your country. Be it US, Russian, Chinese, British, Japanese, French, German, etc. It is your obligation as a citizen to know your countries history and what did or did not take place. Winston Churchill once said that, “history is written by the victors.” 
How does a prepper get better? Some would say it happens through rigorous practice and for those who are very dedicated, maybe that’s an option. For the rest of us, we really don’t have a ton of time to devote to constantly working on skills and procedures. So what is the answer for the 9-5er and the person who is struggling to stay on the highest level of emergency preparedness? Well, it would seem that the growing amount of prepping and survival-based shows can offer some options. 
When a person becomes a prepper, they often go through a “waking up” phase to all the potential risks one could face. It can be an overwhelming amount of information to take in. There is a desire to get prepared for anything and everything. 
This show we talk about what to do in in different types of emergencies when you are travelling. Let’s face it, most Prepper are ready if they are at home with all their gear but what should you do when your away? What to do in extreme situations if you only have moments to save yourself or a loved one. Things like, how do you escape from a trunk of a car if you are kidnapped? What is the best way to survive a plane crash, stop a runaway train, survive a sandstorm or even how to pass a bribe if you had to. Simple things that could come in handy if you are ever caught in a situation that is outside of the norm. This show could save your life!
