TweetPrepper Pete Teaches Kids about Preparedness. Join me for a conversation with Kermit Jones about Prepping with Kids: Don’t Scare – Prepare!  Kermit is the author of a new children’s book series based on the character “Prepper Pete” who is the star character of Kermit’s first book, “Prepper Pete Prepares“. Prepping makes complete sense – to those who prepare. But we all know the blank stares, looks of confusion, and even snickers that sometimes come when we try to explain our reasons to others. I mean, how do explain the obvious, right? But even if your in-laws, out-laws, friends or family, just don’t “get it” – you can’t escape the need to prepare those who literally depend on you – your children. If you’ve seen shows like “Doomsday Preppers” – then you’ve got a pretty nifty list of what NOT to do. Going through a dry-run with you kids can be a great way to bond, but sometimes “how” you do something is just as important (if not more so) than “what” you do. In fact, you can teach a lot of skills to your kids without ever mentioning the end of the world, zombies, or even disasters. For example, Kermit wanted to show his kids how to make a fire with a magnesium fire starter (with the flint down the side). Now, he could have said, “Okay, daddy’s gonna show you how to use this because one day your life may depend on it, and if you can’t figure it out, you’re gonna freeze to death or be eaten by wild animals in the pitch black of night!” Sure, that would have gotten the point across, but is it really necessary!? Instead, his approach took a slightly different approach: “Hey, how would you like to learn to make fire without using matches or a lighter!?” Oooooh… a little excitement combined with a fun challenge. “And we’ll even make s’mores with it!” Instant sell. During the process, they were still able to discuss types of tinder, kindling, fire-building philosophies and the like. Because it was tied to something emotionally important to them (yes, the s’mores), this way kids not only remember, but they want to do it again in the near future!

TweetInsurance isn’t a sexy topic, it isn’t like growing a food forest, building a solar system or tweaking accuracy out of your AR or AK, but it is important.  The most common disasters people experience each day are… Serious injury or death of a loved one Loss of a job Loss of a home due to storms or fires Loss of your ability to work due to injury Automotive accidents Legal attacks All of these areas are far more likely to hit you based on disaster probability then a major pandemic or say a global economic collapse.  So it makes sense to insure against such events where and as you can.  Jason Adkins is currently an insurance claims adjuster and previously worked as an insurance agent.  He joins us today to discuss insurance from a prepper point of view and how to make smart decisions about what to buy and what not to buy.

TweetI could have called this series learning to hunt without a gun or a bow or a trap or anything but that title would be too long.  Today’s show is part two of a series so you may really wish to listen to part one first if you have not done so already. This series began as an extension of a listener question I answered two weeks ago about learning to hunt when you had no one to teach you.  No family, no friends, no mentors, no one.  In part one we focused on the following, The primary hurtles to entry Land access Time Knowledge Hunting with a camera, the limits of reality Keeping a game log Understanding game patterns Whitetail deer reading the wind runs, rubs, scrapes, droppings and tracks feeding patterns bedding seasonal effects the rut peak movement times pattern disruption Again I am assuming today that you have already listened to part one and have the above as background information about our topic today.  I’ll do a VERY brief review in the intro but it will be brief indeed. Today we continue with the extension of those concepts and cover the following Squirrel Hunting Patterns Seasonal Food Nesting Breeding Predator Response Hunting Tactics Spot and stalk Still hunting Stand/ambush hunting Why this method will make you a great hunter Allows for a faster experience growth curve Focuses on what you can do now Will teach you game behavior Learn from you mistakes when they don’t matter Getting land access for real hunting Public hunting Guided hunting Lease access Private land with permission   Resources for today’s show… The Year 1289 Join Our Forum 13Skills.com Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom Get TSP Copper Sentinels TSP Gear PermaEthos.com BrinkOfFreedom.net JM Bullion – (sponsor of the day) Fortress Defense Consultants – (sponsor of the day) Victory Seed Company – (Discount Vendor of the Day – 10% off all orders) I Can ‘t Believe They You Let You Do That – Video That I Played on the Air Story of the Asshole Police Officer in Maryland that Needs to be Fired Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

TweetRebecca Colvin has been raising show rabbits for the past 17 years. During this time she has seen and done pretty much everything you can think of with regards to raising rabbits, breeding, showing, heat problems, ventilation, pests, diseases, and so on. Throughout the 17 years Rebecca has won at many shows and placed well at the national level. She raises Mini Rex for most of that time; they are a small cousin of the Rex rabbit, which is commonly used for fur and meat. The Mini Rex is more commonly used for the pet trade but they taste just as good as any other rabbit. At the beginning of 2013 Rebecca started keeping her culls and eating them instead of selling them to keepers of big snakes and cats. Other then rabbits, Rebecca has a love all animals. She has three dogs, two finches, a Western Hog Nose, and a Betta fish named Rock Star. She works in Pet Retail helping educate people to become better pet parents. Join Rebecca and I as we Discuss… How do you start raising rabbits What breed is right for you What is the best set up for a rabbit barn Considerations in choosing the location of your set up How do you breed rabbits How do you deal with extreme temperatures What are the top mistakes people make when starting out If you have questions for Rebecca you can ask them in the comments below or email here at minirexs at gmail dot com.

Chris has flown a male red tail hawk for 2 years, and is currently flying a female Harris hawk and 3 saker falcons for abatement in Arlington. He has helped train many different hawks, falcons and owls He joins us today to discuss falconry and it’s uses in a SHTF scenario as well as day to day prepping including how to get into falconry, what birds to use, what birds are easiest to train. We also discuss how you actually train a bird for falconry, how does falconry differs across the country and the world, as well as some falconry history.
