Preparedness Radio Network (PRN)

This week our guests are Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy, authors of The Survival Medicine Handbook. Their book is different from other first aid books, in that their book assumes that in a real disaster, there will be no doctors, or hospitals available, and that you will be the caregiver of last resort! Learn how even refrigerated food that smells fine can kill you; how being only 2% dehydrated, can make you ill; how to make a rehydration solution out of your food stores; how pandemics today are more to likely to occur than the Spanish Flu that wiped out 50 million people in 1928; how 80% of antibiotics we are “taking”, come from the food we eat; how a simple cut can kill you in a disaster; how the best medicines are garlic and honey;  what are the best medicines and medical supplies to have; and why fish antibiotics are exactly the same, and in the same doses, as human antibiotics!  For more great shows, visit PreparednessRadioNetwork.com.

Developing a Survival Attitude (Part 2) A follow up discussion with Dr. Bohman on the critical need to develop the right attitude. What's in your head and heart ultimately determines whether you make it or not.  It’s vital to cultivate hope, which then supports a true survival attitude.  If you lose hope, you're as good as dead in a survival situation.   Hope forms the foundation for mental, emotional, and psychological resilience, from which comes the ability to recover from misfortune.  Resilience and adaptability are key attributes needed to survive worse case situations.  To know ahead of time how you are doing in advance of a life threatening disaster, honestly consider how you look at the world and the challenging situations you end up in.  Practice being filled with positive expectations and hope in all situations. Dr. Fred Bohman loves learning new things every day and believes he can learn something from everyone he comes in contact with.  He speaks fluent Spanish and has lived and worked in 27 countries in Europe, Central and South America.  He was one of the first Peace Corp Volunteers in Central America during the mid-1960s developing community agricultural and educational programs.

Ask 10 Preppers their food storage plans (how rude….) and you will get 11 answers. Today I am going to talk about my base food storage plan and why it is best for my family’s situation. I needed something that was shelf stable long term as I am not panic buying because I believe a disaster will come next week – but rather I am hedging my bets just in case. I needed something easy to store so it did not get overly confusing to my wife I needed something cheap – because in a fight between might need later and need diapers now – diapers win… I did not need to worry about: Food that was particularly easy to cook Compact size Food allergies Low water/pre-cooked This narrowed down my search, and once I determined my food storage strategy, I was able to spend some time finding cheaper sources of supply. Click here for the basal metabolic calculator (mentioned in podcast) You can find several articles on my www.tngun.com website discussing how to prepare the foods mentioned for long-term storage – just use the search function, or click the food and water link under “Categories”.

Dian Thomas was blessed with the good fortune to be born and raised in breathtaking southern Utah where her father was a forest ranger.  Dian’s family gave her the opportunity to learn camping activities, outdoor cooking techniques and many other skills for creating fun over a campfire and in the wilderness. Dian’s master’s thesis provided the basis for her first book, Roughing It Easy. Her appearance on The Tonight Show propelled the book to the New York Times best-seller list where it remained all summer. From that momentum, Dian worked hard to become an expert in public relations, publicity and promotion. Since that time, she has written eighteen books, and made thousands of personal appearances with her innovative “live demonstrations”. Dian has served as national spokesperson for divisions of Kraft Foods, Procter & Gamble, Dow Chemical, and countless others.  Dian’s television appearances led to contracts with NBC’s Today show, where she was a cast regular for eight years.  That was followed by a six-year contract with ABC’s Home Show.  During this time she also appeared several times on ABC’s Good Morning America and numerous other national and local television programs. She is still a sought-after presenter, speaker and television personality. Her new venture, entitled How to Get a Million Dollars’ Worth of Free Publicity, attests to the success Dian has enjoyed as one of the country’s foremost experts on public relations. That campfire Dian lit years ago in the southern Utah forests of her youth is still burning bright and bringing warmth and light to millions.  Let Dian show you how to promote your message to an audience of millions.

Survival Joe admitted he was just an “average Joe” until he caught the vision of stocking up on food and seeds, growing a family garden, paying off debt and investing in tangible assets.  He began to be Survival Joe when he began to learn survival skills his great-grandparents practiced. In his interview with Doctor Prepper,  Survival Joe admitted he was just a regular dad—but he couldn’t ignore the fact that a disaster was bound to happen that would affect his family. He wasn’t sure it would be a natural disaster, an economic collapse,  war, epidemics, solar flares knocking out the electrical grid, an asteroid hitting the Earth, or a collapse of the food system. He quit worrying about it and decided to get prepared and not be scared. Living on the outskirts of Denver with his wife and four children, he decided to be a responsible husband and father and changed his mindset as h e became aware of the fragility of modern society. As he studied economics, he recognized that America was on the verge of bankruptcy.” Listen as Survival Joe explains that it would be merciful if the country  only went bankrupt. That’s why every family needs to have provisions on hand––it’s really is common sense. And we need to know how to survive without all our gadgets and infrastructure.
