Communications Grid Down!
Ray Becker… “The Ray Becker Show” Audio player provided!
So, you got your long term storable food and fresh water is covered. You have your ammo and some gold and silver. Imagine a grid down scenario…no power, no running water. We now enter the Psychology aspect of Prepping. The isolation. The not knowing what is happening. There is a way of knowing, of making that basic human contact that is almost Tribal or instinctive. Continue reading Communications Grid Down!
Emergency Communications
Ray Becker “Renaissance Man” Audio player provided!
Way back when our prepping community was developing on YouTube, I had identified an important subject; Communications. In a grid down scenario or some other emergency, being able to communicate or at least listen, would be vital for information, Intel and would be a huge psychological boost to the people who have chosen to prepare. Continue reading Emergency Communications
HAM RADIO expert Robert Hawkins!
Tom Martin “Galt Strike”
On this episode of Galt Strike we will be talking with HAM Radio expert Robert Hawkins. When the grid goes down, you’re going to want to communicate. HAM Radio has passed the test of time and proven to be the best way to communicate in times of disaster. It also makes for a great hobby.
Learn about Emergency communications Continue reading HAM RADIO expert Robert Hawkins!
Technology recapped!
Dirty Lew & Highlander “Tech Preps”
Over the last several weeks we have went through a lot of information and rather fast so we’ve decided it might be a good idea to take a look back. In this episode of Tech Preps we’re going to do a little recapping of the things we have discussed in previous shows.
Part of this show will be a look at the importance of ham radio, privacy, online protection, old technology vs. modern, what we have Continue reading Technology recapped!
Emergency Scenarios where Tech Preps Come in Handy
Hosts: DirtyLew and Highlander “Tech Preps”
In this episode of “Tech Preps,” Highlander and I will be discussing different emergency or crisis situation and how technical preps aided or could have aided in those scenarios. We will also be giving example scenarios and how technical preps could come in handy. Some of the real life examples are Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane (Tropical Storm) Irene, The Great North Ice Storm of 1998, The Ferguson, Missouri Riots and the Baltimore Riots. We will also be giving examples of potential situations that could occur and how technical preps could be of help. Continue reading Emergency Scenarios & Handy Tech Preps!
Ham radio, what you need to know!
Host: Denob “The Prepared Canadian”
Ham radio can be an indispensable resource during an event. Not only will it allow you to keep in touch with other members of your support group, but if enough preppers would take it seriously, a whole network could be set up from coast to coast to relay valuable information. Even without a license, you can own and listen for information from ham radio operators, emergency services such as police, fire, and others, and listen in on worldwide broadcasts which can keep you up to date on the general situation of things. Continue reading Ham radio, what you need to know!
Best Teacher in Life is Life Itself~
Host: Denob “The Prepared Canadian”
There is no better teacher in life than life itself. What I mean by this is that actual hands on experience is the best way to gain knowledge and skill sets that you may need. Sure, we can read up about something in books, over the internet, and even ask our friends and neighbors, but getting your hands dirty, so to speak, is the best way to practice that which is being preached to us.
That being said, I am going to take a much different approach this week. Instead of picking a topic such as water purification, or composting, or alternative energy and rambling on for the better part of an hour, I’m instead going to share some of my experiences with you on a range of subjects that I’ve actually gotten into in recent history.
A big part of my prepping recently has been centered around communications. Continue reading Best Teacher in Life is Life Itself~
When regular means of receiving information are not available such as television, am/fm radio, telephones, and cell phones where should one go? Most experts would agree that of all forms of radio communications that may be put to use in a post disaster situation the Ham Radio (amateur radio) would be the most valuable in sharing information. We have had a few shows just recently on communications and each one bringing to the plate a great deal of information that is useful to both the novice and expert alike.
Sam Coffman of The Human Path gave us a lot of information just last week on ham radio in the second half of his program. Clear and easily understood he made sense out of the technical aspects answering the how and why questions that most may have. You can read more and listen to that show by clinking HERE. Last night, Dave Womach of The Gun show interviewed the founder and CEO of civil dispatch, an on line version of 911 and more that can send out emergency notifications through ham radio. In an emergency this could be a life saving resource even if you are not a ham radio operator. Read more and listen to this show by clicking Here!
Tonight, on this episode of “Preparing For Life’s Storms” Old Geezer Prepper from YouTube helps us understand setting up communications, communications network, the basics and also answer questions for the more advanced radio operator. He has been a prepper since late 1979 and a licensed Ham Radio Operator since 1985. He has also promised to not get so technical that we get lost. Also a visit at the start of the show with the founder of the new e-magazine “Happy To Survive” so join us tonight for more useful information when SHTF 9:00pm/Est 8:00pm/Ct.

Imagine a world where you can’t trust the government, and you have to be totally self reliant. A world where you can’t even trust dispatch to send someone your way, should you need help. In many ways, we’re already there. In most major cities, you could set of your house alarm and order a pizza at the same time, and the pizza would arrive faster. Clearly this proves that capitalism prevails over government programs, but more importantly, it proves that you can’t depend on someone else.
So who do you call when the grid is down? Civil Dispatch. That’s right, CivilDispatch.com has come up with a new system that allows you to communicate both on and off grid. This system is easy to set up, and acts like a blast email. So now, imagine that you call in your state’s militia because (insert your own reason here), and within minutes you have backup support. With a touch of a button, you can transmit a signal via internet, and ham radio to get your message out.
This Monday, September 2, on The Gun Show, Dave Womach interviews the founder and CEO of civil dispatch to find its strong points, and its weaknesses. Use it for emergency, or to simply broadcast to all your friends that Timmy has a soccer game. Your choice. Tune in at 4PM PST, 7PM EST to find out how this system might save your life.

One of the 
simplest ways to prepare for disaster is to buy and stock up on ready-made foods and gear. There is nothing wrong with this unless it is your only strategy or unless you are only interested in being able to survive for a week or two. However, during any kind of disaster that might last weeks, months or indefinitely, it is necessary to have a longer-term plan. This involves sustainable food and sustainable, effective communications.
The most i
important thing to remember about long-term prepping is that there is a point where skills actually start to trump gear. Nobody can live indefinitely off of nothing but supplies if there are no skills to allow for sustainable resources. In the case of food, this realistically should include meat. Sustainable meat is very easy to provide in a number of ways, but one of the easiest and most convenient for the prepper is backyard rabbits.
Just like sustaina
ble food, the prepper also should be concerned with sustainable communications. That is, not only radio systems that work and have range, but also are powered by a sustainable, off-grid power source. If you could only choose one type of radio to become involved with as a prepper, learn about and operate, it should probably be HAM or amateur radio.
Join Sam Coffman on The Human Path in today’s broadcast as he explains some tips and tricks for back yard rabbits as a sustainable food source, and also discusses various forms of post-disaster communication to include amateur radio.
