On this show we explore a concept that I learned from Dave Jones of Prepping up with the Jones, our Saturday night live show host. In a training course that he conducted, I learned about the difference between war-fighters and family.

In this show, we talk about what it might be like if the big event happens and you can no longer talk to family or get news of their condition. After a SHTF event, the availability of news from across the nation and world might be severely limited. Are you or your spouse mentally prepared to break contact with your family and never be able to hear from them again? If your family is overseas or in another state you may keep in contact by Skype, email, or video chat and it’s no big deal. Even calling your parents on the phone keeps that bridge open. However, in grid down, you 
The US witnessed one of the worst hurricane seasons in hundreds of years, and that was on top of the countrywide flooding and storms that inflicted parts of the country into panic. These kinds of weather situations aren’t uncommon and are happening around the world at an increasing rate.

Your family has come in to town, or maybe you’ve driven 13 hours to visit them. Regardless, time with family should be treasured. So while you’re catching up and sharing memories you have a great opportunity to discuss Prepping. Assuming of course these are the relatives you want to survive.

I think as important as it is to be prepared it’s just as important to hit the road and go on vacation. That said, you still need to be prepared on the road. Of course, things can go terribly wrong and you must have a plan to either get home to safety or find safety 
If you’re relatively new to prepping and starting to gather supplies, you may be feeling somewhat overwhelmed. Don’t worry you are not alone. For the first two years that I was prepping, I felt like I really didn’t know what I was doing either. Other than spending money to buy gear that sat waiting in the closet or 
The threats that face the average American family are many. They are part of a list that seems to be ever growing. Outside of the very real social and environmental risks there are true physical threats to our family. These threats can be in the home and outside of it as well. We see the stories of missing children’s, mothers being nabbed and it’s all too common. Sure, sometimes 
Will you be a “helper” when the worst happens?
You call me Hallmark or call me whatever you want. These days make the Winter worth living through. The holy days across the nation and the holiday season. The gathering of family around flame to either fight or laugh about the radical turns and paths this life has taken us down. Its very important to take this all in and unfortunately its seems there will be many who are too wrapped up in their 
The Internet is filled with various lists of what to pack in your bug out bag, what kind of bug out bag to buy, how to pick a bug out location, how to choose a bug out vehicle, and what to pack in that vehicle. It seems that the topic of bug out supplies and how to carry them has been covered ad nausea by most prepper sites. If you’ve got your bug out bag packed, you may think you are ready for anything. But the reality is that when disaster strikes, you can’t just grab your
