Summary: I feel we need to do more fundamentals shows than we have been doing lately. I almost called them beginner shows but I don’t feel that is really what they are. While great for beginners fundamentals are for everyone. Back when I played various sports, even when I got to an advanced level we often worked on the same fundamentals we all had started with say 10 years earlier. There is a reason, in any discipline when your fundamentals are solid everything you add to them improves things. Yet, when those fundamentals are weak the opposite happens, everything you makes things work. So today I am going to answer ten basic questions on getting prepared. Should be a great show for old and new listeners alike and a great one to share with friends and family… Join me today as I answer… What are the top 5 most likely disasters a person would be likely to experience Job Loss Serious or Terminal Illness or Injury (ie auto accident, phyical assault) Storm Damage (wind, water, ice, etc) Fire (local area, wide spread or just your house) Specific local threats (riots, volcano, earthquakes, etc.) What are the top 5 first things to get into your preparedness plan A documentation and plan kit A basic black out kit A basic bug out kit An emergency cash fund 30 days of basic food, water and needs What is the easiest way to get to a 30 day supply of reserve food Keep a food journal Eat what you store and store what you eat Practice basic inventory control and stock rotation What are the 6 best life skills for the self reliant life style Cooking Basic “Handyman Skills” (carpentry, auto mechanics, etc.) Situational Awareness Basic First Aid Self Defense Financial Management and Discipline What about really big “Hollywood Disasters” – Pandemic, Global Collapse, etc. What role does growing your own food play in preparedness, is it necessary If you are going to carry a gun, what gun should you carry and why What is the role of EDC in preparedness and what should you carry in an EDC kit What is the biggest thing most prepper types overlook in their planning What is the single biggest determining factor of survival in most situations Resources for today’s show… Follow Life With Jack on Instagram TSP Facebook Group On this Day in 1735 John Adams was Born Join the Members Brigade Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TspAz.com The Granddaddy’s Gun Club Bullhead Fishing Forum – A new little site I started Binance.com Biltong for Breakfast Find Your TSP Facebook Group for Your State Hey Stoopid – Alice Cooper Sponsors of the Day Western Botanicals Ready Made Resources Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.
