In this episode, we discuss one of the most important preparedness topics facing families today — food security in today’s economy. With rising grocery prices, inflation, supply chain disruptions, economic uncertainty, and increasing concerns about the stability of the food system, more Americans are asking serious questions about how to protect and provide for their families long term.
We explore practical ways individuals and families can improve food security through preparedness, home food storage, gardening, bulk purchasing, freeze-dried foods, food preservation, and developing self-reliance skills. This episode breaks down why food security is no longer just a concern for “preppers,” but something everyday families are beginning to think about as the cost of living continues to rise across the United States.
We also discuss how economic conditions, fuel prices, transportation costs, and global instability affect the availability and affordability of food. Learn why many preparedness-minded families are building long-term food storage systems and taking steps now to become less dependent on fragile supply chains and centralized systems.
This episode also touches on practical emergency preparedness topics, including:
- Long-term food storage
- Freeze-dried food
- Bulk food buying
- Gardening and homesteading
- Emergency cooking methods
- Off-grid preparedness
- Inflation and rising food costs
- Supply chain disruptions
- Self-reliance and family preparedness
- Building a preparedness mindset
We briefly discuss alternative cooking solutions like the Made in the USA, family-owned, veteran-owned My Solar Oven, which allows families to cook using the power of the sun without relying on electricity or fuel during emergencies or power outages.
Whether you are just getting started in preparedness or already building a long-term plan for your family, this episode offers practical insights into why food security matters now more than ever. If you are concerned about inflation, economic instability, emergency preparedness, or becoming more self-reliant, this is an episode you will not want to miss.

In this episode of the Prepping Academy Podcast, Forrest Garvin breaks down one of the most important—and overlooked—steps you can take to protect your digital life: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

You’ll learn the different types of 2FA, which ones are secure, and which ones to avoid. From authenticator apps to hardware keys, Forrest walks through what you should be using right now to protect your email, banking, crypto, and more.
Topics covered:

From a preparedness standpoint, this is about access control—protecting your digital life the same way you protect your home and resources.
Most people get hacked because they’re easy targets. Don’t be one of them.

In this episode of the Prepping Academy Podcast, Forrest Garvin introduces The Last Scenario—a preparedness game he created to train decision-making when everything goes wrong.
This isn’t entertainment. It’s a real-world simulation designed to expose the gaps in your planning before a crisis happens.
Most people focus on gear, food, and supplies—but when pressure hits, they freeze. Why? Because they’ve never been forced to think through real scenarios, make hard decisions, or face uncomfortable outcomes.
The Last Scenario changes that.
In this episode, Forrest walks through why he created the game, how it works, and how you can use it with your family, group, or community to sharpen your mindset and prepare for situations most people avoid thinking about.
You’ll hear examples of real scenarios that challenge your judgment, test your priorities, and force you to answer the question:
What would you do?
Topics covered:
- Why most preppers fail under pressure
- The difference between gear and mindset
- How The Last Scenario was created
- Using scenario-based training to prepare for real life
- Examples of difficult survival decisions
Because when things collapse, you won’t rise to the occasion…
You’ll fall back on your training.
The question is—have you trained your mind?

Patrick with @griddowncomms - Winter Storm Fern
Patrick with @griddowncomms takes the microphone again for an after-action report on winter storm Fern and a few rants along the way. In the communications portion of today's show, we discuss shortcomings of some popular but perhaps misguided online communications advice. Next up, we discuss the political impact of disasters. In this case, Winter Storm Fern. The leadership in your area has a massive impact on recovery, and political parties and the urban vs. rural mindset determine your outcome. Last, we discussed tips and lessons learned for power, heat, and staying warm in a prolonged grid down. Many of us prep for a few days to a week in winter storms, but an ice storm combined with terrible leadership could leave you in the cold and dark for weeks at a time. How will you prepare for a winter weather disaster?

In today's episode, Patrick with Grid Down Comms Up discusses winter preps and observations from last week's Verizon Wireless outage. With a massive winter storm on the horizon, determining how much heat and fuel you need is critical to being prepared. Electricity for critical power needs from batteries and generators can keep us operational and provide a bit of normalcy. Are you ready? Observations from the recent Verizon outage include second- and third-order impacts of a fragile telecommunications system, and considerations as our systems become more fragile and have lower uptime than the historical norm. Do you have a plan for conducting business and coordinating with loved ones when a surprise software glitch disrupts your day?

Privacy Email — Taking Control of Your Inbox
In this episode of The Privacy & Freedom Podcast, Forrest Garvin pulls back the curtain on one of the most overlooked privacy vulnerabilities — your email address. That single piece of digital identity connects your banking, shopping, social media, and even government records. If your email isn’t private, nothing else truly is.
Forrest breaks down why your inbox is the #1 gateway for data collection, surveillance, and hacking attempts — and how to protect it. You’ll learn how major tech companies use email data to build marketing profiles, how data brokers trace every online registration back to you, and why “free” email accounts come at the cost of your personal freedom.
He walks you through practical solutions — from alias-based addresses and encrypted email providers to domain masking, burner accounts, and password segmentation. Forrest explains how to layer your communications using services like ProtonMail, StartMail, and SimpleLogin, and why separating your real identity from your digital one is the cornerstone of modern privacy.
At Garvin Academy, Forrest teaches these same principles step-by-step inside his Privacy & Security Masterclass, where students learn to disappear from the internet, reclaim their privacy, and protect their family’s information from corporate and government surveillance. Because privacy and security are freedom — and it all starts with securing your inbox.

Anonymous LLCs — Separating Your Name from Your Assets
In this episode of The Privacy & Freedom Podcast, Forrest Garvin takes you deep into one of the most powerful — and misunderstood — tools for modern privacy and asset protection: the Anonymous LLC. Also known as a “Ghost LLC,” this structure allows you to legally own property, businesses, and assets without your personal name appearing on public records.
Forrest explains how data brokers, trial lawyers, and even online stalkers use state business registries to track ownership, target individuals, and uncover wealth. Then he shows how Anonymous LLCs provide a legal firewall between you and your holdings — protecting your family, your finances, and your freedom. You’ll learn which states offer the strongest privacy laws (like Wyoming and New Mexico), how registered agents keep your identity off public filings, and how to layer your LLCs for maximum protection.
This episode also uncovers the biggest mistakes people make when setting up “anonymous” entities — from using the wrong address or email to accidentally revealing ownership through tax or payment records. Forrest walks you through how to do it the right way, step-by-step.
At Garvin Academy, Forrest teaches both the Disappear on the Internet course — a complete 25-hour guide to wiping your digital footprint — and his exclusive How to Create an Anonymous LLC course, which walks you through building and managing a true privacy protected business entity.
Both courses are available now at GarvinAcademy.com.
Because in today’s world, privacy and security are freedom — and if your name is tied to everything you own, you don’t truly own anything at all.

Your Car Is Spying on You
In this episode of The Privacy & Freedom Podcast, Forrest Garvin exposes a truth most people never consider — your car is one of the most powerful surveillance devices you own. From built-in GPS trackers and microphones to data-sharing apps and telematics, modern vehicles quietly collect your movements, contacts, driving habits, and even conversations.
Forrest breaks down how automakers, insurers, and tech partners harvest massive amounts of personal data every time you start the engine. He explains how this information is sold, traded, and stored — creating a complete digital dossier of your life behind the wheel. Most drivers have no idea their car knows where they sleep, work, and worship… and who’s in the passenger seat.
You’ll also discover practical steps to reduce exposure — from disabling unnecessary connections and removing old paired phones, to deleting stored navigation data and limiting app permissions. Forrest introduces Privacy4Cars, a powerful tool designed to help you erase personal information from your vehicle before it’s sold, rented, or serviced.
At Garvin Academy, Forrest teaches how to defend every part of your digital life — not just your phone or laptop, but the hidden technologies tracking you every day. Because privacy and security are freedom, and protecting that freedom starts with awareness and action.

Having the Privacy Mindset
In this episode of The Privacy & Freedom Podcast, Forrest Garvin dives into the foundation of digital privacy — the mindset. Before you install a VPN, delete social accounts, or buy a Faraday bag, you must first understand how to think privately in a world built to watch you.
Forrest explains why true privacy starts with awareness, discipline, and intention — not gadgets. He exposes how corporations, governments, and data brokers profit from your every click, and why reclaiming control isn’t paranoia — it’s freedom. You’ll learn how to shift from convenience-driven habits to privacy-driven decisions that protect your identity, assets, and peace of mind.
This episode explores the psychology behind privacy — how our digital behavior reveals who we are, and how adopting a “privacy mindset” helps you take back power over your data, your finances, and your future. Forrest shows that privacy and security are not optional anymore; they are acts of freedom and the first step toward real independence.
At Garvin Academy, Forrest teaches these principles in depth through his flagship course, Disappear on the Internet — a 25-hour masterclass that helps people just like you separate their real life from their digital footprint. Because when it comes to modern freedom, privacy isn’t a luxury… it’s survival.
Listen now to learn how to build your privacy mindset — and why privacy and security are freedom, not fear.

Today, Grid Down Comms Up takes the microphone again for another great episode of the Prepping Academy. We do a short after-action report on the Eastern Tennessee Homestead Alliance festival, revisit a few items as we approach the one-year anniversary of the historic disaster caused by Hurricane Helene, and talk about radio and communications interference. We look at the common types of manmade interference and what you can do to ensure you aren't the cause, because making lots of people look for you isn't very gray man. We also discuss what you may want to consider adding to your plans if you experience intentional interference during an emergency. We also listened to an example of interference during my time in Eastern Tennessee with GSM and a much more entertaining example of some amateur operators trolling someone who is causing intentional interference to keep him talking until they locate him. I'll see you on the next episode.

In this episode of the Prepping Academy Podcast, host Forrest Garvin shares important updates and opportunities for the prepping community as we move deeper into preparedness month and hurricane season.
We begin with a call for action: PrepperNet is seeking new local and city leaders to step up and guide area groups. These leaders help build training, communication networks, and community support, strengthening local preparedness nationwide.
Forrest also announces the launch of PrepperFinds.com, a new website providing daily emails with prepping deals, gear, and resources to help preppers stay stocked and ready. Listeners are encouraged to sign up and take advantage of these exclusive finds.
Since September is National Preparedness Month, Forrest emphasizes the importance of hurricane readiness. With storms forming and disaster risks increasing, now is the time to review your emergency kits, food storage, and evacuation plans.
The episode also highlights Forrest’s growing free prepping webinars, which continue to attract students interested in survival skills, self-reliance, and emergency planning. These online trainings are an easy way to learn new strategies and connect with like-minded individuals.
Looking ahead, Forrest shares his vision for creating a PrepperNet nonprofit organization. By transitioning to nonprofit status, PrepperNet can take direct donations and channel funds more effectively to disaster relief efforts. During Hurricane Helena, PrepperNet raised over $25,000 for victims, and Forrest hopes future fundraising will have an even greater impact.
This episode of the Prepping Academy Podcast blends community updates, practical preparedness tips, and a vision for long-term survival support. Join PrepperNet, sign up at PrepperFinds.com, and take steps now to strengthen your readiness and your community.

Grid Down Comms Up dives into the top ten prepping items for a natural disaster. According to NOAA, there were twenty-seven major natural disasters last year. They did 182 billion dollars in damage and caused 568 deaths. Of all the emergencies we prepare for, we are most likely to be caught up in a large-scale natural disaster. Will you be ready if one strikes your area? In today's episode, we look at the last five items on our list: defense, fuel, electricity, mental health, and building materials. We also toss in a bonus item for number eleven. Heavy equipment, while far from essential, is a game-changer if you can access it. If you are lucky enough to own some, keep them in working order and be able to help out.
Remember, mental condition is a huge part of survival. If you or someone you know is at risk or experiencing a mental health crisis, reach out for help at the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline dial 988 or visit https://988lifeline.org/.
Stay ready and prep on.

We also discuss his new project, AmRRON Reloaded, and efforts to grow the ranks of individuals capable of effectively communicating in any emergency situation. Remember, the annual AmRRON national grid down communications exercise takes place later in July. It is your opportunity to test your skills and see what information you can receive during the exercise. Remember, if you do not have communications when the balloon goes up, you are just another refugee staring at your dead cell phone, wondering what just happened.

previewsPodcast Summary: Prepper Camp 2025 Preview with James Walton & Forrest Garvin
In this energetic episode of The Prepper Broadcasting Network, host James Walton sits down with preparedness leader Forrest Garvin to deliver an insider’s look at Prepper Camp 2025, happening September 26–28, 2025, in Saluda, North Carolina. Over roughly thirty minutes, the conversation highlights why Prepper Camp has become the premier “family reunion” for America’s self-reliance community and what new skills, speakers, and experiences await attendees this year.
Garvin—founder of PrepperNet and a former airman turned Bank of America webmaster—explains how his unique journey from Y2K concerns to modern cyber-threats fuels the two classes he’ll teach on-site:
- “Privacy & Security: How to Disappear on the Internet” – step-by-step methods to shield your address, phone number, and financial data from data-breach fallout.
- “The Case for Cryptocurrency” – a courtroom-style defense of Bitcoin and digital assets as part of every prepper’s PACE financial plan.
The pair also previews Prepper Camp’s 60+ daily workshops, from ham radio mesh networks to hands-on fire-starting, plus evening concerts, vendor lanes stocked with freeze-dried food and survival gear, and the famous Tent City campfires where lifelong friendships form.

In this episode of Grid Down Comms Up on the Prepping Academy, Patrick looks at tactical and team communications and strategic communications in a disaster. Team communications are a simple concept, but become surprisingly complex when users enter the equation. Frequency coordination and interference are a reality of a large-scale disaster scene. We discuss how that impacts operations and how we can avoid some of those issues. Strategic communication is frequently overlooked by the prepping and survival community, usually due to the lone wolf mentality. In a disaster, you aren't going to be the lone wolf; you may even be the voice of your community. Having the skills and tools to quickly and effectively relay the needs of those around you is critical to helping those who are trying to help you. In this episode, we look at some details and facts of communications to support the logistical log train to keep your community going in a disaster.

On this episode of The Prepping Academy, Patrick picks up with a Grid Down Comms Up episode. We begin with a look at the battle rhythm in the first seventy-two hours of the disaster and what that looked like for the people on the outside, who were providing communications support and processing information for those with limited access to reliable information. Next, we look at the fog of war, how that impacted operations from day zero, and how it impacted those in the disaster area, followed by a look at the communications picture inside eastern TN and western NC. We wrap up with a what-if discussion about how the picture would have looked very different and been much more complex had the Mt Michell amateur radio repeater not been in the picture. This episode illustrates Patick's quote, "Without communication, you are just another person wondering what just happened." Remember, when the grid goes down, you are on your own, and what you don't know can kill you.

Welcome to the "MAY HAM" episode of the Prepping Academy Podcast! In this episode, we delve into the three communication paths that PrepperNet advocates to help people achieve greater preparedness. These paths are essential for staying connected during emergencies and disasters:
1. Shortwave & SDR with Digital & Voice (Receive-Only): Shortwave radio and Software-Defined Radios (SDRs) are crucial for receiving information over long distances. We explore how to leverage these technologies effectively.
2. Technician License - Handheld or Mobile (Local Only): Getting a Technician License opens up the world of local communication using handheld or mobile radios. We discuss the importance of this license and how to get started.
3. HF Digital, QRP, JS8Call, FLDigi, WinLink: High-Frequency (HF) digital modes like JS8Call, FLDigi, and WinLink, combined with QRP (low power) operations, provide robust communication options. We share insights into using these tools effectively.
Join us at PrepperNet.Net and enroll in our Ham Academy to learn more about these communication paths and enhance your preparedness toolkit. Stay connected, stay prepared!

These events are a must-attend for all preppers, offering valuable opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals and expand our preparedness knowledge.

Building a solid support system with neighbors and fellow preppers enhances resilience during challenging times.

The Prepping Academy podcast episode where UncleBuck and Forrest discuss the importance of commitment and sacrifice when living the preparedness lifestyle. UncleBuck and Forrest explained that being prepped means more than just having a stockpile of supplies; it requires consistent dedication to the lifestyle. They discussed that it takes commitment to stay up to date on the latest trends and to stay motivated to practice preparedness skills. Sacrifice is also necessary, as prepping can be time-consuming and expensive. In order to stay committed to the lifestyle, it is important to make sure that you are taking the time to properly prioritize, budget, and plan. Ultimately, UncleBuck and Forrest concluded that prepping is a lifestyle that requires dedication and sacrifice, but one that is ultimately worth it for you, your family, and your community.

UncleBuck and Forrest stress the importance of having a preparedness plan that covers everything from developing the proper skills and knowledge to stocking up on supplies. They believe that having a plan is essential for any survival situation and that a well-crafted plan can make all the difference in an emergency. They also point out that a plan should include the ability to access resources quickly and safely, such as having a safe storage location for supplies, a well-stocked first aid kit, and a plan for communication. Furthermore, they suggest that having a plan should also include practice drills to ensure that everyone in the family or group is aware of their roles and responsibilities. This helps to ensure that everyone is prepared and knows what to do in the event of an emergency.
Overall, Uncle Buck and Forrest emphasize the importance of having a well-crafted preparedness plan, and they offer valuable advice on how to create one. Their podcast is a great resource for anyone looking to be prepared for any situation.

The Prepping Academy podcast hosts, Uncle Buck and Forrest, have an interesting take on the importance of mindset in prepping. They believe that having the proper mindset is critical to being successful in prepping and surviving a disaster. They believe that a positive attitude is the most important tool in any prepper’s toolbox and that a negative attitude can be the downfall of any well-prepared individual. Uncle Buck and Forrest also stress the importance of having a plan and being able to adapt that plan to changing situations. They emphasize that you should always have a backup plan for any eventuality and be prepared to adjust those plans as needed. They believe that having a good plan is the only way to survive any disaster, and having the proper mindset will ensure that you can make the necessary adjustments when necessary. Uncle Buck and Forrest also discuss the importance of having a strong support system. They encourage preppers to reach out to their friends and family for support and to seek out like-minded individuals who can provide valuable insight and advice. They also talk about the importance of building a community and providing support to those who may be struggling in a disaster situation.
The Prepping Academy podcast is an invaluable resource for preppers, and Uncle Buck and Forrest provide an important perspective on the importance of mindset in prepping. By stressing the importance of having a positive attitude, a good plan, and a strong support system, they provide preppers with the tools they need to be successful in their prepping efforts.

On this week's Prepping Academy episode, UncleBuck and Forrest discuss the CCP Balloon fiasco and tie it back to the recent conversation with Jonathan Hollerman, Grid Down Consulting and author of Survival Theory I & II. The conversation centered around prepardness for any event, even potential balloons with an enclosed nuke. In the end, no one is coming to save you, and you must rely on your community, your mutual assistant group, and like-minded family and friends. It is unfortunate, but our world is in a delicate place at the point in time...be prepared for anything.

This week on Prepping Academy, UncleBuck and Forrest interview Jonathan Hollerman from Grid Down Consulting. They discuss what a Grid Down Scenario entails, its potential causes, and the impacts it would have on the US. Jonathan introduces his new book, Survival Theory II, which explains the psychological and emotional effects a Grid Down situation would have on people, such as desperation and starvation, as well as the lack of rule of law. He also examines who would and would not be helping the population if a solar flare, EMP blast, or cyber attack were to cause a prolonged Grid Down event.

On this episode of the podcast, Preppy Squirrel and PrepperNet Patty, two experts on prepping and emergency preparedness for women, embark on their first solo podcast adventure for Prepping Academy Ladies Night. Their special guest is Sage Rivers (Linda), who is the founder of the group PrepperNet-Sisterhood within the PrepperNet community. The discussion centers around Linda’s preparedness journey and how that converges with her long-haul truck driver career. Linda travels from coast to coast and must have the mindset, skills, network, and supplies necessary if an SHTF event were to happen while she is far from home. She also discusses the extra level of preparedness needed to have peace of mind that her ten grandchildren will have the necessary clothing and food and also the training that Linda needs if any other children are born into an off-grid scenario.
The three women discuss the Sisterhood that they belong to and all of the benefits of that, including education on preparedness topics and support from each other. They also encourage more women to join their weekly sisterhood Zello app conversations.
Linda ends the show with her top 3 picks on medicinal wild plants that will likely be growing in your yard this spring – so don’t mow them down.

"On this week’s episode of the podcast, UncleBuck and Forrest introduce Preppy Squirrel and PrepperNet Patty, two experts on prepping and emergency preparedness for women. The two discuss the importance of being prepared for any situation and the unique challenges women face when it comes to prepping.
Preppy Squirrel notes the need for women to have a plan and the right items to stay safe in emergency situations. She emphasizes the need for a safe, secure place to store important documents, as well as items like a first-aid kit, flashlights, and emergency food and water. She also notes the need for women to learn basic survival skills, such as fire building, shelter building, and navigation.
PrepperNet Patty agrees that prepping is vital for women but also stresses the importance of having a plan for any situation. She suggests that women take the time to research the best prepping items and create a plan of action. She also recommends joining a prepper community or taking a preparedness class to stay current on the latest prepping techniques.

In this episode, UncleBuck and Forrest discuss the importance of stockpiling food in the event of an emergency or disaster. They recommend having at least three months' worth of food stored away for such an event (i.e., double/triple your pantry), with an additional six months of freeze-dried food per person. They also discuss the different types of food that are best for storing, such as grains, legumes, and canned goods.
The hosts also discuss the importance of food preparation and storage. They talk about the importance of having a plan for what to do with the food you have stored and how to store it properly. They cover topics such as vacuum sealing, air-tight containers, and oxygen absorbers.
Finally, UncleBuck and Forrest discuss food security. They talk about ways to ensure that your food is safe and secure, such as using a proper food storage system, proper sanitation practices, and making sure to rotate food regularly. For additional detail on the manual references, please check out the LDS Preparedness Manual.

"The Prepping Academy podcast is passionate about helping others become more self-reliant and prepared for any situation. The topic today is about goal setting, why it is important, and how to go about setting goals for the new year. Setting goals is essential for anyone who wants to move forward in life. It provides clarity, focus, and motivation. Uncle Buck and Garvin often discuss the importance of setting short and long-term goals, as well as the importance of breaking down larger goals into smaller and more achievable steps. They also emphasize the need for follow-through, which is crucial for achieving success. Uncle Buck and Garvin also share their own experiences with goal setting. They discuss the challenges they face, their successes, and their failures. This helps their listeners to see that goal setting is something that everyone can do, even if it’s a struggle at times. Their inspiring stories of success can motivate and encourage others to push through the hard times and achieve their goals."

This week on “The Prepping Academy” Forrest and Kyle talk crypto. What the heck is it and why would you invest? First and foremost, do you have food, water, and supplies for an emergency? No? Then stop. Crypto isn’t going to save your life. Neither will gold, or silver in a grid down, or WROL society.
One of the most common misconceptions revolving around silver and gold is that they will be the currency in a grid down, or major event. That fact is completely false. If you’re a Christian making the argument for gold and silver let me redirect your attention to Ezekiel 7:19. If you’re not religious and you’re just investing let me explain.
No nation which has deviated from a gold and silver standard has ever returned to one. If there is a full-scale market crash you’d be waiting on the devaluation of the dollar for your precious metals to be worth anything. By the time that happens violence will be the norm, supplies and goods won’t be circulating, and no one is going to give you a fair market for an ounce of silver because the actual value will be all speculation. And if there’s a grid down, what cash register or bank is going to accept it? None.
So why crypto? Crypto is the wave of the future. It’s the direct intent being spoken of across the globe by the powers that be; not just behind closed doors. The content of this podcast is not to be considered financial advice. We recommend everyone do their own research. Find crypto’s with vital utility and make the decision that is best for you!

Welcome to The Prepping Academy! The podcast this week is brought to you by Kyle and newcomer Miranda. They will be discussing “Water, Water Shortages, and How To Prepare.” With massive droughts hitting the western United States, folks in that region must be preparing for the possibility of water utility cutoff. The cascading effect of the drought means many utility companies have cut off farms which will cause loss of crops and livestock, making things at the grocery store even harder.
Miranda takes the wheel of the conspiracy wagon. She talks about the genuine possibility (and occurrences) of water utility companies being hacked and how these hackers might try to poison people by manipulating sanitation chemical levels.
Remember, you can only survive “3 days without water.” Listen, takes notes, and get to work preparing while you can. As always, please rate, subscribe, and pass us along; because - the more people that are prepared, the less you might have to put up with their whining.

Welcome to The Prepping Academy. It’s a New Year and a new agenda for the show. 2020 was a wake-up call to many Americans, and even a test run for others. This makes it a great time to get organized and start fresh with your prepping.
In this episode, Forrest and Kyle briefly address the events of the past week surrounding the election before getting into the new objective for the show. Going back to roughly 6 years ago Forrest and Kyle started discussing a 30 days breakdown for preppers to get ready. Now that agenda has certainly picked up and the pace should be expedited.
With that said the actions notes discussed in the show are not intended for a 30 day period. They are your challenge for this week! Much of these things are free but will take some time and thought. As always, rate, subscribe and pass us along.

Welcome to The Prepping Academy. It’s New Year's Eve! Congrats to those who survived the face diaper zombie apocalypse! What a year though.
In this episode, Forrest and Kyle discuss the reality of the coming year.
There has been RAMPANT speculation by so many different sources; many of which are outing themselves as irresponsible, unconnected, and false prophets. Moving forward into the new year it is essential to listen to good sources with solid track records.
The election showdown is weeks away and the potential for explosive civil unrest is rising. January 6th will see hundreds of thousands pouring into DC, including militia, to support Trump and demand election integrity. With that said, going forward this year it is important that the cancel culture gets canceled. We encourage everyone to avoid companies and media groups with Chinese backing.
Closing up the show Forrest and Kyle discuss a little bit of what’s coming down the road for The Prepping Academy and getting back to basic for people who may just now be starting to prep. And Forrest shamelessly plugs his books. Thanks for listening. Like, Subscribe, and look forward to 2021 with zombies, asteroids, flying monkeys, and more prepping.

**Prepping Academy Reload - Angery America / Chris Weatherman - Author/TV
Here is a Prepping Academy Reload with Angery America recorded on Nov. 18th, 2016. Yes, we have been doing this for almost 5 years now.**In this week’s upcoming show for November 18th, 2016 Forrest and Kyle will be interviewing author Chris Weatherman. Some folks may know Chris by another name though. Angery American. Chris is a successful author with more than a few novels under his belt. His “Going Home” series is a best seller and has many rave reviews online. Currently, Chris lives with his family in Florida. He is an avid prepper and has been involved in that community since the early ’90s. He is well versed in medicinal plants and primitive survival skills. For the first part of the hour Forrest, Kyle, and Chris will be discussing a relatively new conspiracy that has popped up. This would be referring to the “Purple Revolution.” So join us for that as it directly pertains to the recent election results and what may be coming in America’s future. Now, on top of being a best selling author, Chris has also been on the History channels hit series “Alone.” So we will be briefly discussing his time on the show and getting his input on basic survival skill essentials, gear, and mindset. For the bulk of the show, we’re going to be discussing the prepper mindset. Chris’s novels do a fantastic job of catching the reality of what is likely coming. The gritty harsh reality of any SHTF scenario is something preppers, newbies and veterans, need to come to terms with. There are a lot of series, books, and Youtube personalities which don’t quite capture that. Perhaps they even sell a false sense of security or romanticized vision of Prepper heroics.
We are LIVE every Thursday Night at 8 PM EDT.

The second hour of the Prepping Academy Forrest and Kyle discuss upcoming events. September 17th we will be seeing The #WhiteHouseSiege movement begin. Kyle talks a little bit about the movement, who’s behind it, and what can be done to prevent it.
As with any political, social, or religious movement, you have to be aware that “martyrs” will give the cause momentum and cause more people to view them as credible. Kyle’s view is full-on nonconfrontational. Let the rioters and protestors do their thing so the general public, Left and Right, can see what these people are really about.
Counter-protesters showing up to this event may only fan the flames of war. And as discussed, America needs a Renaissance; not a second Civil War. Kyle and Forrest also share some deeper personal insight into their experiences with racism, police, and their faith to be applied to uniting communities.

Food Shortage
Back on The Prepping Academy, Kyle is on to discuss reports of food shortages in the first hour. The news has been filled with hard facts and speculative rumors that by November millions of Americans will be going hungry. Following low productions of 2018, 2019 was a year of flooding. Enter 2020 and production and yields have been dismal. COVID19 exacerbated a growing issue, and most recently the “derecho” straight-line winds wiped out over 10 million acres. Early estimates are saying that 57 million bushels of grains have been lost in Iowa alone.
We are not alone in this though! Many African and Middle Eastern nations were also struck with misfortune this year due to COVID and locust swarms. The UN has been predicting a global food crisis for some time, but we’ve now moved from “crisis” to shortage. Forrest also points out events taking place across the country directly effecting food and distribution such as: train derailments, refinery exploding, and warehouses burning down.
Whether or not you believe in food shortages happening in November is entirely up to you, but from the apparent data it does seem possible. Kyle and Forrest discuss what you should be doing now to prepare, what types of food (canned, dried, or freeze-dried.

The Prepping Academy
August 28th, 2020
Forrest & Kyle discuss current events, the latest “conspiracy theories,” and what’s coming through the rest of this year.
As we head in to fall things politically are heating up across America. The people have been primed and polarized for years and the beginnings of a civil war seems imminent. Forrest and Kyle discuss their experiences thus far with COVID19, what they could’ve done differently, and what’s the next step.
A key point discussion for this episode is the #WhiteHouseSiege planned for September 17th. Organized by the same folks that did Occupy Wallstreet, it’s set to last 50 days, and go through the elections. As Kyle has said in the past, if an “Egyptian Revolution” model is followed it will spell out big trouble for our nation post-election. Leading up to the election we believe you will start to see these key focuses in media:
- Police brutality.
- Electoral fraud.
- High unemployment.
- Living wage/low minimum wage.
- Food inflation.
- Political censorship.
As Forrest and Kyle point out, November is likely when we will start seeing food shortages. Now more than ever is time to make sure your food storage is solid. If we go into a second lockdown because of the pandemic it is going to be more strict, and last much longer.
Towards the end, two Forrest and Kyle discuss barter, gold, silver, cash, and cryptocurrency to hedge ourselves against inflation and dollar devaluation. The biggest overall theme of this podcast from Kyle is really trying to drive home spiritual preparedness. Times are only going to get tougher in America and we’re already seeing the mental and emotional cracks forming in many people’s lives. Pay attention to your family and friends. And have dialogues with those you usually wouldn’t. Divided America falls and that seems to an apparent agenda at the moment.

Welcome to The Prepping Academy. Forrest is just off a six-day interview spree and didn’t even want take the night off! We’re back with Kyle discussing current conditions in the local area, revisiting preps, supplies, and of course discussing the driving force behind it all: the Coronavirus.
In recent days we’ve seen stores completely sell out of mask, goggles, hand sanitizer, and disinfectant sprays, but now there’s more! Costco’s is reporting their biggest shopping day EVER! Basic kitchen staples like rice, beans, sugar, flour, cooking oils, and more are selling out. Is it time to take this seriously?
If you’re still on the fence listen to the podcast. If you’re not on the fence and you’re looking for ways to find supplies that are already selling out; listen to the show because Forrest and Kyle have important advice for you.

We did manage to squeeze in some time to discuss Bernie Sanders candidacy, economic fallout from the virus, and what is the best moisturizer for the apocalypse! Kidding, somewhat. There’s a lot of ranting and Kyle shares a rather dark confession.... but it is hilarious.

Join us on the Prepping Academy this week as we have Glen Tate & Shelby Gallagher. Glen and Shelby are on PrepperNet's Expert Panel. Go and subscribe to their new podcast - Prepping 2.0.About Glen Tate: Glen Tate has led an amazing life – and one that took a surprising turn. He grew up poor in the rural logging town of Forks, Washington. He worked hard to become a successful professional with a job in the legal and political arenas. Thinking he’d finally made it and everything was great, he was stunned to see how corrupt government is. From his observations at his job, he realized that America is collapsing and bad things are coming. Very soon. He began to prepare for himself and his family to make it through the civil unrest of the coming collapse. That meant he had to return to his rural roots – quite a shock to his family and friends. Even more amazing was that he wrote down what he foresees happening during the collapse and it became a ten-book novel series published by Prepper Press. Now he is married to fellow prepper author Shelby Gallagher and they live in rural western Washington.About Shelby Gallagher:Shelby Gallagher is a different kind of prepper: a former single mom in a large West Coast city who started squirreling away food and buying a gun when she realized the government would not be there to take care of her and her kids when the Collapse comes. She sent a draft of her first book to prepper author Glen Tate, who read the first few chapters and called his publisher. Her three-book series is now one of the most popular prepper book series. She describes the need for prepping in ways women can relate, but so can men. She is now married to Glen Tate and they live in rural western Washington.Links: PrepperNet.ComPreppingacademy.comhttp://prepping2-0.comhttps://www.299days.com/agreatstate.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
This week on the Prepping Academy we have John Jacob Schmidt from AmRRON and Radio Free Redoubt Founded in 2011, AmRRON was originally created as a communications network to keep communities and states within the American Redoubt connected in the event of a major disaster situation, or socio-economic collapse. Within a year, over half the members consisted of those living outside the American Redoubt. AmRRON has now grown to nearly four thousand radio operators, with members in every state, plus Puerto Rico and Canada. In January, 2014, AmRRON merged with TAPRN, making it the largest conservative mostly-Christian radio network outside of a faith-based organizational structure (such as Salvation Army and LDS).AmRRON is a network of Preppers, Patriots and Redoubters who have volunteered to keep each other connected when other means of communications are unavailable or unreliable. AmRRON operators participate in scheduled nets to practice using non-conventional communications.Although, AmRRON has interoperability with other preparedness and patriot networks, we strongly encourage other communications teams to develop their own, communications plans in the event that AmRRON becomes disrupted or compromised.https://amrron.comhttps://radiofreeredoubt.comPreppingacademy.com Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)

Garvin was interviewd on the All Hazards Communications Preparedness podcast!Show Notes:Everyone with two eyes to see and two ears to hear knows how little (none?) privacy we have these days. Forrest Garvin, founder of Carolina Preppers Network and the newly formed PrepperNet organization is a computer security expert and former intelligence analyst. He’ll discuss various topics regarding Internet communications security (ComSec) including VOIP as well as various encryption techniques.If you not a true paranoid, you probably can’t do much if our behemoth federal government targets you as an individual. However, for 99 percent of the rest of the population, Forrest Garvin has some practical tips and techniques to share. Most of the practical stuff we’ll be talking about can be put to use every day and made into a daily routine, upping your survival chances and lowering your risk of being ripped of or spied upon by your enemy(s?).You might be thinking, during a SHTF scenario, there won’t be any Internet or even a dependable supply of electricity. That’s when you’ll dig deep into your homemade Faraday cage and pull out your fully charged handheld two-way radio to check into your local prepper group’s prearranged radio network using the SHTF radio 10-codes you were given. But what about real communications security via two-way radio? That’s one of the topics we’ll cover with Forrest Garvin during the Sept. 4 “All Hazards Communications Preparedness” podcast live at 9 pm Eastern every Tuesday on the Prepper Broadcasting Network.http://preppingacademy.com/Host: “David A.

This week on the “The Prepping Academy Join Forrest with Special guest Mark Goodwin.In any crisis situation, you will be hard-pressed finding the information you and your family needs to make it. There will be no Internet. There will be no phone service. It will literally come down to what you have within arm’s reach that will help you get through the chaos of Marshall law, having no power for days, weeks, or months, and being able to make it through natural disasters like hurricanes or similar events. Be prepared… always! Keeping a stash of survival books on hand is of vital importance to helping you get through the tough time.The world is becoming more uncertain each day. Natural disasters, economic collapse, and terrorism are phrases that have become familiar to every news cycle in every part of the country. But preppers are aware of the danger and know that fully preparing for any of type of disaster could mean the difference between life and death.Not everyone’s a Navy Seal or an Eagle Scout. So for those who haven’t received hands-on training in survival skills, studying a quality survival manual is your next best option. Whether you have a full library of self-preservation books, or you are looking to buy your first survival guide, Forrest and Tenderfoot will discuss some of their favorite books of all time.Please be sure if you’ve not already signed up for “The Prepping Academy” newsletter go to www.preppingacademy.com Join us for The Prepping Academy “LIVE SHOW” every Monday Night 9:00 PM EST at http://prepperbroadcasting.com Also join us for our LIVE interactive Chat room at Prepper Broadcasting Network home page.

Coming up this week on “The Prepping Academy” join host Forrest and Tenderfood for a little it of interactive fun. We’ll be taking a small break from all the regular programming to dig deeper in to the minds of the host by playing a little “Conflicted.If you’ve never heard of “Conflicted” it is a card game with a variety of emergency and Prepping scenarios. The objective of the game is to stimulate in depth conversations with family, friends, and potential members of a MAG group. Everyone listening is encouraged to join in on the chat room to contribute.This game is highly recommend for any level of Prepper. It will help you understand your personal morals and standards. It may also show you where you draw the line between the will to live and morality. Some people wouldn’t even go as far as eating their own household pet to survive. On the other hand some may look at their neighbors as food…… When it comes to establishing leadership this could be a useful tool to see who comes out as the most fit. Though it may also be a tool for separating the wheat from the chaff so to speak. There are plenty of people who may just shut down under the pressure. So far better to ask these questions now than to face them down the road and be sorely disappointed.In addition to being fun and a screening tool, this can also be helpful for visualization. Setting your mind for a variety of scenarios may save your life down the road. Hesitation should almost be always avoided. So by all means, ask yourself these questions and visualize the results.http://preppingacademy.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)

Winter Survival & Preparedness - This is a Repeat! Sorry, Forrest has the Flu this week.Welcome to “The Prepping Academy.” Upcoming this week we’re going to be covering something essential for this time of year. Winter survival. Every year we hear about American’s going off the roads and getting stranded. Even worse, we hear about people freezing to death in their own homes because of lack of heat. There are also some advantages to the winter weather.Before that we’ll be jumping straight in to Kyle’s conspiracy theory of the week. At Forrest request Kyle will be covering something a little more mainstream. Deep unground military bases or DUMBS. What are they? Do they exist?The first segment we will be covering is traveling in snowy or icey conditions. Proper vehicle maintenance definitely comes in to play, but there are also essentials in addition to your get home bag that you should never travel with out. For example, traveling with two bags of kitty litter can save your life. Proper placement can add extra weight to your rear wheels for stabilization. And if you accidentally go off road the kitty litter can provide traction for your wheels to get out of the snow.The next segment we will be covering the ever important home preps that you can make. Need extra heat in the house? We’ll be discussing how you can use everyday items from your house like terra-cotta planters to heat a room. Did your power go out and you need to keep your food cold? There are also a few importantant things you should start doing the spring to prepare for next year.In closing we’ll be sharing some thoughts on what winters mean for a grid down scenario. Winter will separate the preppers from the rest. Government studies conclude that more than 90% of the population will die in a grid down scenario. Don’t be caught off guard.http://preppingacademy.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)

If you are thinking of terrorist attacks or some other kind of meltdown in the system when cities are just not going to be able to cope, then you may be in your Bug Out Location for an extended period of time. Maybe your Bug Out Location is just your place to get comfortable with nature over weekend and holidays – so you are going to need to make it more “livable” rather than an emergency escape.Bugging out could potentially be something we all need to do, and picking a good bug out location requires thought and planning. As you begin our planning for a perfect bug out location there are a number of different factors to keep in mind like distance, location, finances, accessibility and many more.If you’re purchasing a piece of property to serve as a bug out location, then you really need to consider how far that property is from your current home. Unless you have a good refueling plan, you need to really think about any piece of property that you can’t make it to on a single tank of gas. While having a bug out location far from the danger zone is important, making sure you can safely get there during a time of crisis is essential. On this show we hope to help you pick a location that works for you and your group.Please be sure if you’ve not already signed up for “The Prepping Academy” newsletter go to www.preppingacademy.com Join us for The Prepping Academy “LIVE SHOW” every Monday Night 9:00 PM EST at http://prepperbroadcasting.com Also join us for our LIVE interactive Chat room at Prepper Broadcasting Network home page.

This week on the “The Prepping Academy” Forrest and Tenderfoot are going to be discussing getting back to preparedness basics. What are you getting prepared for? What skills do you need? What do you need to purchase?Over the past few years Disaster Preparedness (‘prepping’) has become a popular topic. A very large mix of people have begun preaching prepping, all having different motives for promoting their particular views on ‘how to prepare’, which makes it very difficult and confusing for people who are trying to figure-out what to do. Because of this, some people end up doing the wrong things for the right reasons; they simply want to protect their families and friends. And in other cases, as a result of a lack of continuity in advice, some people do nothing at all, which may be just as bad.Disaster preparedness is really about risk analysis; what good is a box of guns and ammo when you actually needed a boat during a flood, because you lived in a flood-prone area? Or what good is gallon jar of peanut butter when you bought only one slice of bread? How is a bug out location going to help you when you lose your job and can’t pay the bills? Too many people today have just that problem; too much of the wrong thing and not enough to the right thing. We hope to help you think through your preparedness plan and help you refocus on the important things.Please be sure if you’ve not already signed up for “The Prepping Academy” newsletter go to www.preppingacademy.com Join us for The Prepping Academy “LIVE SHOW” every Monday Night 9:00 PM EST at http://prepperbroadcasting.com Also join us for our LIVE interactive Chat room at Prepper Broadcasting Network home page.

This week on the “The Prepping Academy” Forrest and Tenderfoot are going to be discussing if you have not skills during a SHTF scenario you are worthless to others. This will be hard for some to take but it’s true.Preppers have a bad reputation for hoarding gear, stocking up on a year’s-worth (or more) of food, and packing bug out bags that could supply a platoon. In almost all cases, these preppers would be screwed if there were a disaster or SHTF. Gear and supplies are useless unless you still have it when you need it, and know how to use them.The precept of knowledge weighing nothing has been a long-term idea in my thinking. I love learning how to do things and how to adapt my surroundings by adapting what I have available for new purposes. Also, if something like a regional disaster hits your area, you may be surviving with only what you have on you at that moment and all that stuff you collected will be useless. So Knowledge and Skills are King.Skills won’t run out, and in a prolonged emergency that makes them far more valuable for trade than anything else. You don’t have to be an expert at every survival skill to survive a disaster–very few people have mastered all the skills. However, there are a handful of skills that everyone will need in a true SHTF scenario, especially if they’re on their own.Please be sure if you’ve not already signed up for “The Prepping Academy” newsletter go to www.preppingacademy.com Join us for The Prepping Academy “LIVE SHOW” every Monday Night 9:00 PM EST at http://prepperbroadcasting.com Also join us for our LIVE interactive Chat room at Prepper Broadcasting Network home page.

This week on the “The Prepping Academy” Forrest and Tenderfoot are going to be discussing one of the most talked about subjects in prepping, Prepping on a Budget. This subject has been on every blog and podcast out there. On this show we hope to share with you a whole knew thinking strategy with it comes to buying your prepping supplies.Being a prepper is all about setting priorities and being responsible. If you’ve been on any survival forums or watched doomsday prepping shows on television, you’ve likely seen individuals that have committed an enormous amount of their time and money into preparing for TEOTWAWKI. Prepping can be an expensive project. Many preppers buy a few things here and there as they can afford to, all the while feeling like they’ll never have enough food, water, emergency supplies, and gear to meet their family need. How do you prepare for long-term shortages when you have trouble making ends meet while ‘times are good?’We have found several ways to get many of your preps for little or no money. We are pretty sure no matter your situation you can use one or more of these ideas to help you save money on your own gear and supplies. One of the keys to prepping on a budget is going slow. Whenever you have extra money, invest a little bit into your prepping. Eventually you will have a fully stocked storage room full of all the essential gear you need to survive a fully blown SHTF situation.Please be sure if you’ve not already signed up for “The Prepping Academy” newsletter go to www.preppingacademy.com Join us for The Prepping Academy “LIVE SHOW” every Monday Night 9:00 PM EST at http://prepperbroadcasting.com Also join us for our LIVE interactive Chat room at Prepper Broadcasting Network home page.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
This week on the “The Prepping Academy” Forrest and Tenderfoot are going to be discussing one of the most important and difficult questions to answer, “How to know when it is time to bug out?”I know many people, would feel the urge to stay home and protect their property. But you need to weigh the choice of staying versus the risk to your life and health. For some folks, the risks to their safety out weights the danger they could very well face by staying and trying to protect their property. The latest hurricanes have people rethink the stay and protect their property vs. their safety.Bugging out to soon can be a waste of time and resource’s. Bugging out and having to return days later can and will put stress on family members and survival groups and could cause others to question each time events warrant a real bug out situation. Everyone wants to make the right decision and the proper planning should help everyone understand the go or no go decision. As I have stated many times I believe the final decision should be in the hands of one person with a team of advisors around them. This will be a judgment call on your part or your team leader and only time will tell if the judgment call was a good one or not. I would always lean to leave to early than stay until it’s to late.Please be sure if you’ve not already signed up for “The Prepping Academy” newsletter go to www.preppingacademy.com Join us for The Prepping Academy “LIVE SHOW” every Monday Night 9:00 PM EST at http://prepperbroadcasting.com Also join us for our LIVE interactive Chat room at Prepper Broadcasting Network home page.

Prepper Camp 2017Join Forrest and Tenderfoot this Monday night as they recap Prepper Camp 2017. Prepper Camp is the largest out door national event for preppers held in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. It takes place at Orchard Lake Campground located in Saluda, North Carolina. The campground venue allows preppers to experience preparedness information, survival skills, and camp-craft activities like no other preparedness conference.You may remember Survivor Jane as being our very first guest on air. Events like these are few and far between around the USA. These folks don’t make a great amount of money off these events and they do a tremendously great job of emulating what prepping is truly about being prepared and helping others. As a long time prepper I can tell you first hand events like this are essential to our community.Forrest and Tenderfoot will be sharing their experience, discussing the classes, speakers and their networking opportunities. Prepper Camp had some excellent speakers and just like last year many will be joining us on the Prepping Academy in the weeks to come.The Carolina Preppers Network (CPN) also had their annual meeting on September 15, Friday night at prepper camp. Forrest and Tenderfoot will share about the CPN annual meeting with all the ins and outs of what’s going on with CPN and it’s future plans. They will also discuss their experience meeting hundreds of CPN’ers for the first time.Please be sure if you’ve not already signed up for “The Prepping Academy” newsletter go to www.preppingacademy.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
On this Prepping Academy Radio show we will discuss all things traveling as a prepper. One of the most dangerous things you can do in life is travel. A good prepper does not only accumulate goods, but also knowledge. When traveling, you retain your knowledge but what goods can you take with you. What goods can you acquire while at your destination. This balance of knowledge and goods is what this show is about. Join us!You need to prepare your luggage and travel appropriately. As a business professional, it is not advisable for me to walk into a Fortune 500 conference room with a full camo military issue pack, bugout bag and my Glock 19 on my side. At the same time wearing my top designer suit and snakeskin dress shoes will not be the best clothes to bug back home. You must strike a carefully planned balance. Where are you going? How are you traveling there? What supplies do you need? What supplies can you take? What can you acquire at your destination? We will talk in great detail all these things.Self-defense skills are very helpful when traveling, as carry a gun is often not an option. You need two sets of skills. First, the skill of avoiding conflict, and second, the self-defense training to protect yourself when violent conflict is unavoidable. Have you ever heard of Verbal Judo? If not now you have. Look it up and learn it. It’s as viable as physical self-defense.Situational Awareness is so important while traveling. You have to stay alert while traveling because dangerous situation can unfold quickly and unexpectedly and you are not on your home turf.So join us LIVE on Monday Nights at prepperbroadcasting.com at 9PM EST.

Hurricanes can affect everyone and no matter where you live there are things you can do to prepare for the next big one. For those that live in the areas that are prone to hurricanes and tropical storms, planning and preparedness is a necessity. Planning and getting prepared will look different to each individual and family but there will be some basics that will apply to everyone. We will talk about the basics but this show will be more about planning to thrive during a hurricane not just survive. Of course we will talk about the many “check-list” you can find on the net but we will go a few steps into the advance planning as well. Check out the Red Cross and Ready.gov for a lot of great information and check list.So… You don’t live in a hurricane prone area? Hurricanes can still have a big impact on you and your family, job and church. We will discuss how to plan for your family, neighbors and possible family members in the ground zero of an on coming hurricane. Supplies are always good but most of the time knowledge is better. We will look back on a few big hurricanes and discuss how knowledge could have changed many outcomes in individual’s life.Have you ever tried to contact family and friends in a disaster area? You might think it’s impossible and sometimes it is but we will cover how to improve you chances to connect with them. We will also help you put together a communication plan for when disasters knock at your door.The most important thing going through a hurricane is being prepared and having the knowledge to survive.

This week the Prepping Academy is back after a long and crazy Summer of Change. Change happens! The Prepping Academy has moved from Friday nights to 9 PM on Monday nights.On this episode of The Prepping Academy we will discuss our crazy summer and all the changes that have taken place.

Well join us on Monday night to find out.We will also discuss the Carolina Preppers Network stats. One year ago The Carolina Preppers Network had 1,800 members meeting in 7 cities in the Carolinas. Now one year later CPN has over 4,400 members and meeting in 13 cities. CPN has released an emergency communication app to provide real-time news alerts to members in a particular city or to all CPN members. CPN has also created a weekly CPN Preparedness 80-meter E-Comm NET every Tuesday night at 9PM. The Frequency the net will be on will depend on many variables and may change Start at 3.818, nothing heard go to 3.828, then 3.838, then 3.848, etc.. You can use your Short Wave radio to listen in. CPN is also rolling out a weekly CPN Preparedness 2M E-Comm NET in each of the 13 cities. This is taking time and lots of planning.We will finish up with CPN’s annual meeting. This years meeting will take place during Prepper Camp in Saluda, NC on Friday, September 15, 2017 at 7PM. This is a MANDATORY attendance yearly CPN meeting.

This go around our host Forrest & Kyle will be discussing how to secure your perimeter. Choosing and knowing your terrain is imperative to proper home security. It’s time to consider what supplies and tools you will need to protect your castle. If you live in a city and bugging out is your only option we’ll be discussing how you can secure your perimeter as well. Traveling in unknown territory is daunting enough without having to worry about intruders.At the beginning of the hour Kyle will be discussing his conspiracy of the week. This time he will be discussing Edgar Cayce’s predictions for the United States. In particular, the divine of the nation by water. People around the country for sometime have reported visions and dreams of the US suffering some horrible natural disasters.So what does it mean to secure your perimeter? This is something every family should do now; even if you’re just considering securing your home from criminals. Small things, like replacing your locks, screws, and adding more physical barriers is just the beginning. It’s always recommended you do a security walk of your own property from the perspective of a criminal. If they want in bad enough they’ll find a way.The next step is considering what adjustments you may need to make for events like societal and economic collapse. How could you deal with large numbers of intruders? The answers are actually more obvious than most realize. If you don’t learn your history you may be doomed to repeat it. So we will be taking a few notes from the Roman Empire for your everyday prepping repertoire.In closing Forrest & Kyle will be discussing several force multipliers that can be used to secure your home now and later.http://preppingacademy.com/ Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Survival Medicine with Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy!Welcome to “The Prepping Academy.” This week we’re going to be joined by special guest Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy. That’s right, from “The Doom and Bloom Survival Medicine Hour.” Together they have written “The Survival Medicine Handbook.” Dr. Alton also has a New York Times Bestseller “The Ebola Survival Handbook.” The two are mentioned, or sources by several other authors on their works.Beginning the hour, just like every other week, we’ll partake in “Kyle’s Conspiracy of The Week.” This week we’re going to be talking about things that you know, but you don’t really know. What? Have you ever heard of the “Mandela Effect?” The conclusions of this theory range from time traveling tampering with history to super hadron colliders creating alternate universes. The most frightening part of this conspiracy? Kyle is going to demonstrate it for you. Prepare to have your mind messed with.Prepping had so many avenues, skills, and tactics to learn that someone could spend two or three life times trying to get prepared. So it’s always nice when someone else comes along and takes a lot of the guess work out of it for you. Maybe they even write a great book so you can further your education from home. Well, that is the case with Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy. Medical training and education is not cheap. Their book won’t prepare you for brain surgery, but it can certainly help in life or death scenarios.Unfortunately, many Preppers have all the gear, but so little training. Dedicate the time to listen, buy, and educate yourself. People like Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy are disseminating priceless information here. Don’t count on running in to a doctor or nurse after the grid goes down.http://preppingacademy.com/https://www.doomandbloom.net/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Welcome to “The Prepping Academy.” Join us live this Friday as we talk about essential Prepper gear. In the Prepper community there seems to be two prevailing purchasing strategies for gear. Buy cheap and buy often, or buy once cry once. Some Preppers buy some of the absolute cheapest gear possible from sites like Aliexpress and buy as many as duplicates as they can. Others do a ton of research and buy high end.As with every show, we’ll begin with Kyle’s conspiracy of the week. This week he’ll be diving in to a little bit of the paranormal. Demonic possession. It may sound crazy, but he’ll be discussing secret societies that are literally inviting demons in to our world, what their agenda is, why it matters, and what we can do about it. Even if you’re not a believer, it’s important to note some of the most evil individuals in the world are and this is what spurs their actions. “Know your enemy.” And no, this isn’t a Sun Tzu quote.The first thing Forrest and Kyle we’ll be breaking down is the basic “essentials.” Items that every Prepper must have. When it comes to Prepper gear we’ve never met a Prepper who doesn’t want their product to last. For a Prepper, things like lifetime warranties don’t matter much. After all, who is going to be manning the phone at Surefire or EOTech after the crap hits the fan? Product testing, torture, and personal reference is key. If you can afford to have multiples obviously you want them, but with weapons sights that run $600 plus that’s not always practical.With that said, what items should you buy cheap and buy often? Having redundancies and items with interchangeable parts can be a real headache saver. So how do you find the balance? Listen in to Kyle and Forrest as they discuss. There are bound to be some differences of opinion on this one.http://preppingacademy.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Welcome to “The Prepping Academy.”This week on the show our host have a special message for you. Forrest and Kyle collectively have decades of prepping, firearms experience, training, and survival experience. That collective knowledge, experience, and research would like to say this: It is time to prepare.Do we mean it’s time to start prepping? No. It is time to be prepared. Get your affairs in order. The world economy, nations, and society are crashing and burning. You might not be the frog in the pot of boiling. You are!Indicators are all over the place. Global leaders and powers that be are pointing towards WW3 as a forgone conclusion. Economic signals are pointing towards a sudden drop second or third quarter. For crying out loud the rich are selling their stocks for gold and silver; if you’re not prepared today you are not paying attention.The first part of the show we’ll be tackling some current conspiracy theories with Kyle revolving around WW3. After that Forrest is going to be discussing his recent trip to the mountains of NC for a prepping conference where he spoke.http://preppingacademy.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Welcome to The Prepping Academy. This next episode Forrest and Kyle are welcoming Paul Munsen, President of Sun Ovens, to the show. For the past 28 years SUN OVENS has been proudly made in the U.S. They believe in free enterprise and seek to take a private sector approach to helping solve problems, which are often left to governments and nonprofit organizations, by developing self-sustaining projects in Third World nations. They also strive to assist entrepreneurs to make and market GLOBAL SUN OVENS in the country in which they will be used. In addition, they are also helping to assist in implementing projects to help orphanages gain self-sufficiency through the sale of bakery goods sun-baked in VILLAGER SUN OVENS.In a grid down scenario Americans will be faced with a plethora of scenarios. A Sun Oven quite literally may save your life? How so you ask? For starters a Sun Oven emits up to85% less smoke than cooking with a flame. This can save you from respiratory disease, smoke inhalation the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes, carbon monoxide, and potentially disastrous fires.Now, if that’s not enough reason to make you want to buy a Sun Oven, I’ll tell you the grand daddy of them all. When the grid goes down the scent of your cooking will being carried in the smoke and it WILL lead others to you. That smoke signifies a few things: food, people, potential shelter, and potential supplies. That spells one thing for you. DISASTER Looters will find you eventually, but it’d be better if you didn’t provide them a flashing arrow.This week we have a special request from our producer. Kyle will be covering Planet X, Nibiru, or the 12th Planet as some know it. As always, joint Forrest and Kyle in the chat room to ask questions and comment on the show.https://preppingacademy.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Buy your prepping supplies with your IRA and 401K.Welcome to “The Prepping Academy.” This week’s upcoming show for Friday December 2nd, 2016 Forrest and Kyle will be having guest Ross Powell on the show. Ross operates Survival 401k and will be with us to discuss the condition of the economy and how you can use your IRA and 401k to invest in your future as well as your survival.After that we will be diving head first in to economic chaos. Ross Powell will be helping us with some financial advice for the future and discussing how his services can help. Imagine being able to take your 401k and turn it in to physical assets such as: property, precious metals, ammo, guns, and freeze dried food.

Coming up this week on “The Prepping Academy” join host Forrest and Kyle for a little it of interactive fun. We’ll be taking a small break from all the regular programming to dig deeper in to the minds of the host by playing a little “Conflicted.If you’ve never heard of “Conflicted” it is a card game with a variety of emergency and Prepping scenarios. The objective of the game is to stimulate in depth conversations with family, friends, and potential members of a MAG group. Everyone listening is encouraged to join in on the chat room to contribute.This game is highly recommend for any level of Prepper. It will help you understand your personal morals and standards. It may also show you where you draw the line between the will to live and morality. Some people wouldn’t even go as far as eating their own household pet to survive. On the other hand some may look at their neighbors as food…… When it comes to establishing leadership this could be a useful tool to see who comes out as the most fit. Though it may also be a tool for separating the wheat from the chaff so to speak. There are plenty of people who may just shut down under the pressure. So far better to ask these questions now than to face them down the road and be sorely disappointed.In addition to being fun and a screening tool, this can also be helpful for visualization. Setting your mind for a variety of scenarios may save your life down the road. Hesitation should almost be always avoided. So by all means, ask yourself these questions and visualize the results.This week’s conspiracy theory with Kyle is something 99.999% of you have in your home, use twice a day, and have no idea what it’s really doing to your body. So tune in to find out what it is and what you can do about it.http://preppingacademy.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Welcome to “The Prepping Academy.” Coming up this week Forest and Kyle are going to be covering the age old Prepper questions: when do I bug out and what happens in the first 24 hours. Let’s just say that you are in for a reality check.Depending on the emergency you may or may not have a warning. An EMP would mean death for millions of Americans. Government studies estimate the majority of the US population would be dead within the first year of an EMP, or extended power supply failure. That means nearly 800,000 people dying around you every single day. It’s safe to assume most of those deaths would be early on.In some cases you may have little time to prepare, but some is better than none. A major concern for many is living in a city or area near a military base. What happens when martial law is declared. There’s a lot of speculation. Do you have hours, or even days to escape before martial takes place? We’ll provide some realistic perspective to this situation.Above all, we’ll be discussing the most important thing you can do for any event. Have a meaningful action plan, clear communication with family members, and be organized. A lot of Preppers have the planning, the bug out location, but no practical means to transport their goods. Spoiler Alert: They’re going to die.This week for Kyle’s conspiracy theory he will be covering a conspiracy theory that is literally out of this world. Well, not too far out. Maybe just floating around in our very own orbit. If you’ve never heard of “Black Knight” you’re in for a treat. And you’ll probably feel encouraged to research this one on your own.Be sure to listen in, favorite, subscribe, like, or maybe just recommend to family and friends like the good old days.http://preppingacademy.com/ Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Prepper and Survival Skills: Avoid being tracked be the trackerJoin Forrest and Kyle as they discuss how to avoid being tracked and become the tracker.Today’s world presents a variety of privacy and security concerns. Data collection programs leave the majority of the public open to opportunistic criminals. Information could even be used against you without your knowledge. Fake social media accounts, comments, and financial information could even set you up for criminal charges. There are plenty of things you can do to avoid these issues, but what about the issues you can’t control? What happens when your own government profiles you based on keywords you use over the phone, email, or text and then they dictate the narrative? It can happen, has happened, and will happened again.This week’s topic is going to work within Kyle’s conspiracy theory. Depending on how long you’ve been prepping you may or may not have heard of the notorious “Red & Blue List.” Allegedly being on this list qualifies you for one of two things: elimination, or reeducation. With all the government spy programs casting an indiscriminate net of data collection with little oversight there’s no doubt innocent civilians are bound to get caught up. The question is whether or not these concerns are legitimate. Is there evidence to back up FEMA camps? Reeducation? Forced Labor? Assassination?For a moment, imagine the worst case scenarios. Economic collapse, EMP, war, food shortages, and martial law. The government is now seizing “assets” via executive orders. Only now it’s understood that those assets may include you and your family. How can you avoid being hunted? How far off the grid do you need to go? Can you avoid dogs, drones, thermal imaging? There are materials and methods someone can use even today to assist them.http://preppingacademy.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Coming up next week on “The Prepping Academy” Kyle and Forrest will be discussing bushcraft. Isn’t that for survivalist and mountain men? It’s for everybody! Learning bushcraft skills should be one of the fountains stones for your preparedness pyramid.Before we get in to the fun world of bushcraft we’ll by diving in to the mind of Kyle to discuss his conspiracy of the week. This week is going to get weird. Kyle is going to be talking about the coming uprising from artificial intelligence. There are many different faucets of life which AI can undermine. The job market, economics, and even military applications we’ve designed could be used against us.Now bushcraft for some may mean going out in to the woods and simply being able to build a shelter and start a fire. Those are handy skills to have, but what if we took away everything, left you on an island, and said we’d pick you up in six months? Guess what, you’re not surviving without some serious bushcraft skills. The first step to bushcraft is building your kit. For some this means slight modifications to their bug out bag. Others it means completely restarting it.Bushcraft also has a lot to do with knowledge. Learning your natural resources,medicinal and edible plants, and making tools. Learn to work smarter; not harder. There are simple wooden tools and machines you can make out in the wilderness. If you have the necessary tools you can also delve in to blacksmithing.Now folks, with any topic like gardening, bushcraft, firearms, etc. there are a plethora of things to be learned and discussed. Currently we have a one hour time slot to discuss. If you have further questions please feel free to join the chat and politely ask. We’re always open to feedback and discussion.http://preppingacademy.com/ Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Gardening for Preppers and Survivalist. There’s not a single good reason anyone could give for not building a seed bank. In the eventuality of a grid down scenario, or even unemployment, a seed bank could be life saving.Before Forrest and Kyle get in to gardening they’ll be going over “Kyle’s Conspiracy of the Week.” This week Kyle will be talking about mysterious deaths rarely appearing in mainstream media stories. What makes these death so mysterious it’s just the way these people died, but that there are clusters of people within the same professions dying.Jumping right in to gardening we’ll be talking about the basics first. How much land does a person need to grow food for the year? What kind of seeds should you be buying? Is there a right and wrong way to store you seeds? How much water, sun, and fertilizer do you need? What crops could you be growing as cash crops for bartering?Those are just a few questions you’ve probably been thinking about.From there Forrest and Kyle will be discussing gardening techniques for growing a small, but high yield garden for those struggling with space. Those with small yards, apartments, and town homes definitely encouraged to listen. We’ll also be covering “companion gardening.” Growing certain plants together will help them have a higher yield.Last, but not least we’ll be discussing some less thought of concerns for your garden. In a WROL world, SHTF, and social unrest; how exactly is someone supposed to garden? What about your security concerns? Your garden could be wiped out, or stolen from ove night. What would you do then? Your garden is also highly visible and can alert others of the fact that you have food and residence. So we’ll also discuss a few ways to minimize your footprint.Like us on iTunes!!!http://preppingacademy.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
On “The Prepping Academy” join Forrest and Kyle as they talk guns for defense. As American diplomacy, politics, and society falls apart anyone with a sane mind should be considering owning a gun and preparing for a WROL (with rule of law) America. Heck, probably a few. Why a few? The simple fact is that guns are tools. If you’ve ever gardened you know that you wouldn’t use a flat shovel to plow; just like you wouldn’t use a broad fork to dig a well. So don’t go in to a gun shop with a mindset that “a gun is a gun.” And for the love of all that is holy and sane, do not buy a gun from the gun shop that tries to say a shotgun is the only weapon you need for home defense.With the view that every gun is a tool, Kyle and Forrest will be diving straight in to the best guns for a prepper. Personal recommendations and experience go a long way in this industry. The first tool we’ll be discussing is what some call their “main battle rifle.” This is typically an AR15, AK47, or a variant. Some folks may consider these weapons overkill. Keep in mind once again that we’re discussing far more than economic difficulties. Our nation is primed for civil war and social unrest. Finding yourself in a fair fight means you’ve already lost.The next weapon type our host will be covering is your secondary. 99% of the time this mean a pistol. It’s reserved for concealed carry, and backup for when your MBR is down. Learning to transition between your primary and secondary is an important skill. Above all skills though every prepper needs to do one essential thing with their firearms: PRACTICE. This doesn’t mean goofing off at the range. Because let’s be honest; that’s exactly what going to a range is. If your shooting practice isn’t dynamic you’re setting yourself up for failure.Give us a good rating on iTunes!!!www.preppingacademy.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Body armor life saving tactical gear for preppers and survivalist. Upcoming on “The Prepping Academy”. Hey guys and gals, coming up this week on “The Prepping Academy” we’re going to be covering fun life saving tactical gear. That’s right, we’ll be talking body armor. We’ll be having a special guest Chad from Infidel Body Armor on this topic joining us for the show. Either way it’s going to be extremely informative and helpful in making you Armor and chest rig selection.Now in any SHTF scenario protection is a must. You wouldn’t play football without a helmet would you? So would you really go in to a potential gun battle without life saving armor? We should think not. Not all body armor is created equal. There are a ton of opinions. Some are lighter, but lack multi hit capabilities. Others have multi hit capabilities, but can weigh up to 10lbs per plate. So what’s the right choice? And if you’re getting armor you’ll need a plate carrier. What the heck is that and what works best?Once you get your armor and your plate carrier the real fun begins.How do you set up your chest rig? MOLLE pouches, knives, IFAKs, multitools, coms pouch, smoke grenades, the possibilities are endless! Like anything though, there’s a right way and a wrong way. Adding too much gear will slow you down. We’ll be actually taking a look at Kyle and Forrest personal chest rigs. So join us for all the conversation and fun.http://preppingacademy.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Coming up on “The Prepping Academy” our host Forrest and Kyle are going to be discussing urban survival. You might be thinking to yourself this doesn’t apply to you. Let us assure you it does. Current statistics say that approximately 82% of the United States population lives in an “urban environment.” That number is projected to climb to nearly 90% by 2030.The average commute to and from work is 25.4 minutes. A car accident, stalled car, injured pedestrian, school bus, and weather can double that on a bad day. What happens though if those roads become impassable? Can you make it home by foot? What tools do you carry every day to help you? Getting home is priority one. Forrest and Kyle will be discussing how this can be done while keeping a low profile.Now that you’ve made it home you need to think about survival. Maybe you live in a small bungalow, apartment, or studio with no land to grow on. So how exactly do you intend to provide for yourself, family, or friends. Kyle will be discussing some alternative growing systems that you can do with very little space.http://preppingacademy.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
On “The Prepping Academy” Forrest and Kyle will be discussing force multipliers. If you’re not familiar with what these are this is going to be a good show to not only listen in on, but participate in the live chat and ask questions. The essence of a force multiplier is any tool or tactic that gives you the upper hand. It’s a very broad term and can encompass everything from gear to morale.This week Kyle will be touching on something that he’s a bit passionate about. Holocaust deniers and replacement theology. There is a strong agenda today by some to deny the Holocaust, and even WWII ever happened. This is done in order for some demographics to claim they are the real Jews or superior to others. You may never realize it’s there and how dangerous it is until it’s too late.Starting our force multiplier discussion we’ll be talking about some force multipliers you can take care of that cost you absolutely nothing. Mental preparation, map reading skills, land navigation, knowing how to read the weather, night travel by constellation, recruiting, intel gathering, deception, and above all- learn to have a reputation that precedes you. Psychological intimidation is an art form very seldom utilized. How would it be to intimidate an adversary so much that all conflict was avoided? We’ll discuss on the next show methods to do this.After that comes everyone’s favorite part when dealing with force multipliers- gear. We’ll spend a small portion talking about night vision goggles, thermal vision, personal recommendations, GPS, radios,and other force multiplying gear to help you prepare for whatever you may be expecting. If you’re fighting a fair battle you’re already losing. So whether our manned or out gunned we’ll be throwing you some helpful ideas in pursuit of preparedness.http://preppingacademy.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Welcome to “The Prepping Academy.” On this week’s show we will be changing up gears. Obviously January 20th is a much anticipated day. President Elect Trump will be sworn in and we will be saying farewell to President Obama. The months and weeks building up to this moment have been filled speculation.Leftist radicals like Michael Moore have been promising to orchestrate a 100 day rebellion against the incoming administration. We’ll be joined by Samuel Culper. Samuel is at the forefront of intelligence gathering for the prepper community. Samuel Culper is a former military intelligence NCO and contract intelligence analyst. He spent three years in Iraq and Afghanistan on intelligence missions, and now runs Forward Observer, a company that provides training and intelligence solutions for SHTF preparedness.Check out his web site at https://readfomag.com He will be covering the inauguration and giving us updates on any intel coming in regarding protest.For this week’s conspiracy theory of the week Kyle is going to becovering some alternate takes on the JFK assassination. The term conspiracy theorist was first coined during the investigation of the event in order to quiet anyone who challenged the original story. Years of deep investigation have shown many inconsistencies, but have also revealed some scary facts. For example, how many people are aware that former president George H.W. Bush was actually present and temporarily detained during the event? One could say his political career certainly sky rocketed after these events. What about the fact that JFK’s brain has been missing for years? We’ll be discussing this Friday and we hope you’ll chime in with your thoughts. http://preppingacademy.com LIVE Every Friday Night 9pm EST on http://prepperbroadcasting.com/ Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Winter Survival & PreparednessWelcome to “The Prepping Academy.” Upcoming this week we’re going to be covering something essential for this time of year. Winter survival. Every year we hear about American’s going off the roads and getting stranded. Even worse, we hear about people freezing to death in their own homes because of lack of heat. There are also some advantages to the winter weather.Before that we’ll be jumping straight in to Kyle’s conspiracy theory of the week. At Forrest request Kyle will be covering something a little more mainstream. Deep unground military bases or DUMBS. What are they? Do they exist?The first segment we will be covering is traveling in snowy or icey conditions. Proper vehicle maintenance definitely comes in to play, but there are also essentials in addition to your get home bag that you should never travel with out. For example, traveling with two bags of kitty litter can save your life. Proper placement can add extra weight to your rear wheels for stabilization. And if you accidentally go off road the kitty litter can provide traction for your wheels to get out of the snow.The next segment we will be covering the ever important home preps that you can make. Need extra heat in the house? We’ll be discussing how you can use everyday items from your house like terra-cotta planters to heat a room. Did your power go out and you need to keep your food cold? There are also a few importantant things you should start doing the spring to prepare for next year.In closing we’ll be sharing some thoughts on what winters mean for a grid down scenario. Winter will separate the preppers from the rest. Government studies conclude that more than 90% of the population will die in a grid down scenario. Don’t be caught off guard.http://preppingacademy.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Predicting The Future!Welcome to “The Preppig Academy.” This program in the player below is all about the future. That’s right, Forrest and Kyle predict the future. Well, kind of; you’ll have to stay alive and listen next year to see if they were right!It seems as though almost every New Year folks across the internet want to put out some predictions for what is coming. Of course, a lot of times people can be way off. Y2k, 2012, alien invasions, the list goes on and on. So if people are typically wrong are predictions still important to have? Absolutely! Walking in to anything without some planning and analysis is horribly irresponsible. The trick is to make sure you’re reading all the signs properly. So Forrest and Kyle will be providing a unique insight to the year you won’t be hearing from anyone else.In addition to the predictions our hosts will also be discussing goals for 2017. Now are these “New Years Resolutions?” Far from it. These are things that need to be done. The holidays are over. Time to evaluate your preps preppers. You have 364 days to tighten the belt and get stuff done. So whether it’s losing 20lbs, getting another 3 months of freeze dried food, more ammo, or even establishing your bug out location- it is time to get it done!Visit The Prepping AcademyJoin us for “The Prepping Academy” “LIVE SHOW” every Friday 9:00/Et 8:00Ct 6:00/Pt at http://prepperbroadcasting.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
It’s that time of the year again. Your holiday shopping is finished, there’s nutmeg in the fridge, pies on the cooling rack, and presents to wrap. 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.A lot of preppers live in a closet. Some take years to come out tofamily and friends. If you’re comfortable and confident in defending and explaining what you do, it’s time to share. Forrest and Kyle will be discussing their own personal experiences with opening up to family and friends about Prepping. This will include some great scenario questions to ask and reasons to quote to get the ball rolling.A common misconception is that discussing your preps destroys your OPSEC. So Forrest and Kyle will also be discussing setting boundaries within the discussion. So don’t let this opportunity slip by. These are potentially the closest people to you. And if they’re not? Consider the fact that if they get prepared they’re less likely to need to come to your house and take your supplies.This week’s conspiracy with Kyle is going to be a discussion on the alleged incoming energy wave that’s supposed to impact earth on December 26th. That’s right. That’s just a few days away! New evidence is coming out and it would be good to discuss what this could mean for you and your family. Especially if a series of major natural disasters occur.We just like to take a moment to thank all of our supporters, sponsors, listeners, and of course our producer.

And he even managed to convince a few in to being on the show. This guest needs little introduction if you’ve ever seen the show “Doomsday Preppers,” or are familiar with “Suvivior Jane.” That right! Rick Austin will be joining us.Rick has a great book out that every Prepper should own. “Secret Garden of Survival” is the how to for planning your secret survival garden. How amazing would it be to plant your food, have it flourish, and remain completely out of sight from the anyone else? This is basically “Grey Man” theory for your veggies and simply brilliant.A lot of interviews might focus on “Doomsday Preppers” or the book. Forrest and Kyle do have some questions for Rick, but will be asking him more about his personal philosophy on prepping, mindset, and outlook for America’s future. As always, please be sure to listen at prepperbroadcasting.com and join the chat room to ask any questions.Before the interview we’ll still be having our “Conspiracy of the Week” with Kyle.

This week’s upcoming show for November 18th, 2016 Forrest and Kyle will be interviewing author Chris Weatherman. Some folks may know Chris by another name though. Angery American. Chris is a successful author with more than a few novels under his belt. His “Going Home” series is a best seller and has many rave reviews online. Currently Chris lives with his family in Florida. He is an avid prepper and has been involved within that community since the early 90’s. He is well versed on medicinal plants and primitive survival skills.For the first part of the hour Forrest, Kyle, and Chris will be discussing a relatively new conspiracy that has popped up. This would be referring to the “Purple Revolution.” So join us for that as it directly pertains to the recent election results and what may be coming in America’s future.Now, on top of being a best selling author, Chris has also been on the History channels hit series “Alone.” So we will be briefly discussing his time on the show and getting his input on basic survival skill essentials, gear, and mindset.The bulk of the show we’re going to be discussing the prepper mindset. Chris’ novels do a fantastic job of catching the reality of what is likely coming. The gritty harsh reality of any SHTF scenario is something preppers, newbies and veterans, need to come to terms with. There are a lot of series, books, and Youtube personalities which don’t quite capture that. Perhaps they even sell a false sense of security, or romanticized vision of Prepper heroics.http://preppingacademy.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Buy your prepping supplies with your IRA and 401K.Welcome to “The Prepping Academy.” This week’s upcoming show for Friday December 2nd, 2016 Forrest and Kyle will be having guest Ross Powell on the show. Ross operates Survival 401k and will be with us to discuss the condition of the economy and how you can use your IRA and 401k to invest in your future as well as your survival.The first part of the hour our host will be covering the conspiracy theory of the week. We will warn you up front this is not a conspiracy for the faint of heart. Recent discoveries from this the Podesta Wikileaks’s emails have unveiled a new scandal, “Pizza Gate.” According to investigators there is a hidden code within the emails between notable politicians which implicates them in a child sex trafficking ring. While this is not concrete, the evidence is very compelling and we feel it’s important to bring it to light so people can do their own research. According to most recent reports the powers that be are already trying to cover their tracks by erasing websites and social media content.After that we will be diving head first in to economic chaos. Ross Powell will be helping us with some financial advice for the future and discussing how his services can help. Imagine being able to take your 401k and turn it in to physical assets such as: property, precious metals, ammo, guns, and freeze dried food. How much would that help you and your family?Contact us at preppingacademy.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Welcome to “The Prepping Academy.” The upcoming Show for Friday November 25, 2016 is going to be a show you don’t want to miss. It’s that time of year again. The holiday chaos, food, family, road rage, and the one question that plagues us all: what do you buy for the Prepper who has everything? We’ll also be getting some tips from Kyle on how to survive the holiday madness.It’s incredibly difficult shopping for preppers. Mainly because we’re already so self sufficient and stay on top of new items to make our lives easier. So this Friday we’ll be discussing Forrest and Kyle’a top 10 choices for prepper Christmas gift ideas. That will include items for all ages and expertise levels. Everything from shelter, gadgets, weapons, and some reading material suggestions.If that’s not enough Forrest and Kyle will also be discussing recent warnings from the FBI about remaining vigilant during this holiday season. What does that exactly mean? Are ISIS or other domestic terror groups really planning to attack us over the holidays? If so, what should you do to be prepared? That will be discussed on Friday’s show.Now obviously it wouldn’t be a full hour of “The Prepping Academy” without Kyle’s conspiracy of the week. This week we’re going to be discussing a strange phenomenon sweeping the globe and being discussed by conspiracy theorist, history buffs, and religious scholars. What could it possibly be? We’ll be discussing Planet X. That’s right. The infamous Nibiru. How serious of a threat is it? When is it even supposed to arrive? All things to be covered by Kyle on Friday.

America voted, How to prepare for the Election Results.Welcome to “The Prepping Academy.” We hope you have had a good week. More importantly, this is written on the Saturday before the show; so we hope the world has not descended in to post election chaos. In the event that it has you probably won’t be listening. If are listening and the nation is rioting we hope you are at your bug out location or in a bunker somewhere.This election has been one of the most historic in the lifespan of our nation. The forces of good and evil are clearly battling. Hillary has utilized special interest, Wall Street, media, and all things corrupt. While Trump’s blunt behavior and loud demeanor has been off putting to many Americans. Though the brainwashed masses on entitlements would never vote for anything other than status quo. This election could have swayed any which way.Early on there have been reports of voter fraud, illegal immigrants being bused in, and even voting machines that magically change your vote. Clearly some things have been brought to the surface with this election. Americans are finally beginning to realize the corruption within the system. They are realizing their vote doesn’t matter the way they thought. Fairness and honesty are gone from US politics.Signed up for The Prepping Academy newsletter at preppingacademy.com.The Prepping Academy Radio Show is LIVE every Friday Night at 9PM EST at http://prepperbroadcasting.com Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
This week on the “The Prepping Academy” Forrest and Kyle are going to be discussing one of the most important aspects of prepping, water. It is a life giving fundamental we take for granted every day. Whether you’re at home or work you always have ease of access to it. What happens though when the power goes out and water no longer flows from you tap? Access to freshwater supplies is becoming an urgent matter across the planet. How much water should you have? Do you know where to locate water, how to purify, sanitize, create, and store it? These are all things we will be covering. Be sure to take notes because we’ll be covering some very interesting tricks you’ll want to retain.Some elites, like Nestle CEO Peter Brabeck have been quoted as saying “Water is not a human right.” The Bush family back in 2005 and 2006 visited and eventually bought rights (over 300,000 acres) to the world’s largest water aquifer in South America. So if the elites are buying up water and not considering it a human right shouldn’t you be protecting your ability to provide water for yourself and family? The obvious intention is for the elites to secure water and use it as a control mechanism for the rest of the world. Would a nation without water right collapse under pressure from an organization which controls their flow of water? All things to consider.This week we’ll be spending a little more time on Kyle’s conspiracy of the week. By popular demand Kyle will be discussing alternative views on the 9/11 theory and where exactly the term “conspiracy theory” comes from. Please be sure to join the chat if you have any specific question regarding this topic. It is a very broad one and we’ll be covering it quickly.http://preppingacademy.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)

Join Forrest and Kyle on this special show with an amazing guest. We skipped Kyle’s Conspiracy of the Week to maximize the interview. During a recent trip to Prepper Camp, Forrest was able to meet a lot of interesting folks. And he even managed to convince a few in to being on the show. This guest needs little introduction if you’ve ever watched the History channel series “Alone.” He was the first season’s winner, Alan Kay. If you’re not familiar with “Alone” it is a must for any Prepper. Contestants are dropped on Vancouver Island with limited tools, little resources, and plenty of challenges.Alan Kay is a Georgia native, passionate outdoorsman, and well trained in combative arts. He’s also studied medicinal plants and tactical medical response. During his time competing on the show Alan had limited resources. The 10 items he was allowed to carry were a: Saw, Axe, Sleeping bag, Large 2-quart pot, ferro rod, water bottle/canteen, 300 yards single filament line with 25 assorted hooks, small gauge gill net, 3.5lb wire, and a knife. Anyone who watched the series beginning to end could see, though difficult, how well Alan handled his stint emotionally and psychologically.A lot of interviews would focus on the series itself. Forrest and Kyle do have some questions for Alan, but will be asking Alan more about his personal philosophy on prepping, mindset, and outlook for Americas future. As always, please be sure to listen at prepperbroadcasting.com and join the chat room during these shows when live to ask any questions.Signed up for The Prepping Academy newsletter at preppingacademy.com.

This discussion is about the most important prep any individual can use. Your mind. Over the past 15 years I’ve personally gone through several significant changes with my mindset. At one point, despite being raised around guns and shooting from age 5, I wanted absolutely no part in owning a firearm. Fast forward several years and I began to see them not as weapons, but as tools in the protection of my life, liberty, and and family.Forrest and I often come across preppers on a regular basis whom we refer to as “highly interested.” While we are always happy to talk to a fellow prepper it’s important to know that an interested prepper is often a liability when compared with a motivated prepper. What category do you fall? Ask yourself a really simple question. Is prepping a hobby or a lifestyle? Speaking for myself, and I know many others, my family and I have made prepping a dedicated way of life. We’ve sacrificed vacations, extra luxuries, and even savings to make sure we’re well prepared for a number of circumstances. Make no mistake though; your preps can’t define your mindset, merely be evidence of it.All of the material goods aside preppers should be practicing scenarios. There are an infinite number of situations that could occur, but thinking through some of those scenarios now may help you down the road through events like: active shooters, floods, earthquakes, and maybe even economic collapse. Join Forrest and I in the player below as we discuss some of the resources to help you with this and get your mind moving in the right direction. As with anyone, people we meet often help shape our world views, hopefully we can share some of our experiences to help yours.Signed up for The Prepping Academy newsletter at preppingacademy.com.

Many Preppers define their preps and mind set by the catastrophe which they are preparing for. It’s safe to say one of the most concerning scenarios is that of economic collapse. With everything in the news this past week about the Deutsche Bank, the 9/11 Bill against Saudi Arabia, and the elections it’s probably as good a time as any to discuss this. You’ve probably read a plethora of articles discussing gold and silver. Unfortunately no one can say what an economic collapse of this proportion would look like. So what can you do to prepare?There are two types of economic collapse you can prepare for. The first is the sudden collapse. A lot of authors theorize this event kicking off with immediate bank runs, a credit system shutdown, and the raiding of stores. Honestly, that’s likely the ideal collapse. Preppers would likely have plenty of time to get to their bug out locations, pack their preps, board up their house, and so on. That brings us to the worst scenario. The frog in the pot. The slow economic collapse that drains your wallet and your preps slowly. A return of debtors prisons and forced labor would not be hard to see if that were the case. If you’ve been living in America the past 8 years you can likely understand what’s that might feel like. There are steps you can take to ensure your survival for now and down the road.Join Forrest and Kyle as they tackle this difficult prepper topic and share some of their personal experience dealing with the recession. On a special note this week’s upcoming show Kyle’s conspiracy of the week will be regarding be ancient prophecy about the end times and parallels in the news today. Be sure to take notes to research yourself. This stuff is mind blowing!Signed up for The Prepping Academy newsletter at preppingacademy.com.

Join Forrest and Kyle this Friday as they discuss “Prepper Camp.” A few weekends ago Forrest was live from Prepper Camp on the first night. Prepper Camp is national event, held in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, and located in a campground venue that allows you to experience preparedness information, survival skills, and camp-craft activities like no other preparedness conference.The first half of the show Forrest will be sharing his experience, discussing the classes, speakers, and networking. They had some excellent speakers that we’ll be having join us on upcoming shows. We will have Chin Gibson, a member of the Carolina Preppers Network call in and share his first time experience of Prepper Camp 2016. Chin is an average Joe who prepped for hurricanes after moving to the Carolina coast and now is learning to be more self-reliant.The second half of the show Kyle and Forrest discuss this past weekends events in NYC, NJ, and Minnesota. Also the recent surge in immigration throughout the United States has desire implications. Awareness of your surroundings is extremely important and they’ll be sharing some resources to help you assess your area. We will explain what you can expect from first responders and why it may be different than you imagine.Signed up for The Prepping Academy newsletter at preppingacademy.com.

Discussing the mounting tension between police and protesters; as well has having a live interview in player below with Charlotte Mecklenburg’s District 5 county commissioner Matthew Ridenhour.This last week Keith Lamont Scott was shot and killed by a CMPD officer. All initial reports from the police report claim that Scott has a firearm and was not complying with officers orders. A video of the events was released by the family early Friday, but the location of the gun is not easily observed in this video. Scott’s family maintains a position of innocence and is trying to demonize the events a protest did take place. Initial elements of the protest were peaceful. Unfortunately a small, but growing fraction of that element broke off and turned to violence. police department as we’ve seen nationwide.Like with many of these Within hours the looting of a local Walmart, random attacks on whites, blocking of major highways, and deployment of the police occurred. Police engaged what the media calls “protesters” with tear gas and flash bangs to disperse the crowd. By night three it has become abundantly clear that these are not simply protesters. CMPD is reporting that up to 70% of the arrested individuals are coming in from other states. Some of these folks are reported to have been at the Ferguson riots as well.Listen in with Forrest and Kyle for this show as they discuss the events more in depth. Kyle’s conspiracy theory will tie directly in to the events we see in Charlotte and occurring what seems to be on a regular basis now across the nation. Are these riots, black lives matters, and scrutiny of our police departments ultimately a scheme to federalize our police?

From Prepper Camp this week Forrest calls in directly from Saluda, North Carolina while attending “Prepper Camp.” Connections are good and we discuss a variety of topics and speak with a few attendees and other speakers. This is a yearly event put on by Rick Austin and Survivor Jane. You may remember Survivor Jane as being our very first guest on air. Events like these are few and far between around the USA. These folks don’t make a great amount of money off these events and they do a tremendously great job of emulating what prepping is truly about. Being prepared and helping others. As a long time prepper I can tell you first hand events like this are essential to our community.If you have never had the opportunity to attend “Prepper Camp” it’s something worth while to look in to. Forrest will be bringing back interviews filled with lots of great information and more details. A lot of major names in prepping attend this meeting of the minds to help people prepare. If you want to know more about it check out preppercamp.com to see a full list of speakers and the topics.Kyle also calls in for the show and has his way with a night of conspiracy and current events.

On this live broadcast of The Prepping Academy join Forrest and Kyle as they discuss: everyday carry items, get home bags, and bug out bags. These are literally the backbone of prepping. The items you carry with you can literally make or break your future! Simple items like a bottle opener, lighter, pocket knife, wallet tool cards, etc. are important to have, but there are a lot of items out there now that, being honest, are a waste of money.If you’re new to prepping you may be asking, “What’s EDC (Everyday Carry), a get home bag, or a bug out bag?” These are not universal and will be as unique as your fingerprint. Everyday carry items will be things like your: wallet, keys, pocket knife, lighter, fire steel, water bottle with purifier, cash, pistol with extra magazines, etc. These are items always on your body, or in your pockets. Think about your daily task, job, and environment. What items should you be carrying that can make your life easier and also help you in case of an emergency?Your “get home bag” is a step up from your EDC. In this should be items to get you through a small emergency, or at least 24 hours; potentially longer. A small tarp for shelter, an emergency blanket, water purifier, survival tools, extra ammo, etc. You should have this in your vehicle everywhere you go. Of course you want to make sure it’s well hidden.Most importantly, you need a Bug Out Bag or BOB. Search the internet. You’ll find a thousand bug out bag list suggestions, must haves, gadget, and fan fare. Some of these items are absolutely insane. Like do you really need a fold up drone with HD camera? Or should I put my Barrett M98B in my bug out bag? Needless to say some people go nuts over this stuff. So tune in to listen to Forrest and Kyle as they go over what you really need. This can be a pretty involved topic so don’t be surprised if it ends up being a 2 part series.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
Preppers live a secret life and most want to keep it that way but others would love to meet other preppers and share their prepping knowledge, ideas and experiences. You can see the value in a team of people who share the common goal of survival and you realize the wisdom in pooling your resources with a group of individuals who are able to mutually benefit each other in a time of crisis.There is strength in numbers so a larger survival group is going to be able to do more. With more people you have more ideas, more resources, more skills, more intuition, perspective and wisdom. The only problem is how to find other preppers near you without possibly ruining any OPSEC you have tried to maintain or by looking desperate.On this episode of The Prepping Academy Forrest Garvin and Kyle discuss how to start an area group. Why you should act fast. Don’t confuse these groups with a MAG/Survival group but they might grow into that over time. This is almost a build it, and they will come plan.We discuss how Forrest created the largest and most active prepper group in the USA. The Carolina Preppers Network currently has over 3,400 members that meets monthly in 9 cities in the Carolinas covering topic around prepping, survival or self-sufficiency. We cover how to start a prepper group meetup, how to get the word out to other preppers in your area, how to run your first meeting and what topics to discuss. We also talk about the cost and how to find sponsors to offset the cost. This is not hard and trust us, you can do it.Signed up for The Prepping Academy newsletter at preppingacademy.com.

Thank you for tuning in to listen to “The Prepping Academy.” We’ve had some amazing guest the past two weeks. If you missed out on our shows with “Survivor Jane” and “Skinny Medic” be sure to head over to the prepping academy to listen to the archived shows. The two of them were able to share with us a wealth of information and also their personal experiences that led them to become preppers.Prior to that Forrest and Kyle had been covering their “Prepping 101” series. This series is intended for newcomers and veteran preppers. If you’ve just started it will be an excellent guide to evaluating what steps you need to be taking from two long time preppers with more than 30 years combined experience. If you’re a vetern prepper our hope is that you’ll listen to evaluate your preps and maybe we’ll be able to shed some light on some weaker areas.When we last left off we had covered up to the first 120 days of your prepping journey. As with the first two sections of the series we will be covering purchases, training actions, and mindset. These items all go hand in hand. As we’ve said before, you can have all the most expensive guns and gadgets, but if you don’t have the mindset it’s all going to be worthless. A few items we will be discussing more in depth are: power options, backup communications, primary and secondary firearms, prepping your bug out bag, char cloth, and camping. We will also be discussing Kyle’s conspiracy of the week.Signed up for “The Prepping Academy” newsletter at preppingacademy.com.

When it comes to prepping there are a lot of unknowns. Almost always Preppers tend to be known as self sufficient. What are the things you can’t prepare for on your own? Self analyzing is just as important as evaluating the existential threats we see everyday around us. So for a moment ask yourself a few real questions. Can you treat a bullet wound? Apply a tourniquet? Treat an infection? Do you know how to properly move an injured person with a potential spinal injury?Every prepper knows the basics: food, water, and shelter. In a perfect world that may be all you need. What happens when things aren’t so perfect? Family and friends may have to look to you when there are no longer medical services. In just about every grid down scenario medical services will cease. Social unrest could prevent you from reaching your destination. So what have you done to get your medical needs in order? Have you evaluated your personal health? Get these things done now! Above all, start learning the skills you’ll need in case of an emergency.Join Forrest and Kyle Friday as they talk with “Skinny Medic” about your medical prepping needs. Dietrich Easter is the Skinny Medic on YouTube. He has been a paramedic in 911 EMS for 14 years. He also posts videos that can help you in a medical emergency situation. The videos may also help you in everyday situations, or even if you find yourself in an active shooter event. You never know when you will be the first responder!Skinny Medic will also be attending “Prepper Camp” in September so if you are a prepper and you want to know what is vital to have in your medical kits (car, backpack, home, etc), you need to take his class. Find out what you need (and what you don’t need) to have on hand. A first aid kit is not a one size fits all!

Jane is city-girl turned prepper/homesteader after moving to the Appalachian Mountains from the metropolitan city of Orlando. She is the creator and editor of the disaster survival and preparedness website HERE .Her mission is to help educate people on how to better prepare themselves by sharing her experiences and research in an easy to understand, straight-forward manner on various preparedness topics. As an additional outreach, Jane also created the hashtag #PrepperTalk resulting in the Largest Prepper Community forum on Twitter therefore bringing people from all over the world together to discuss all things “preparedness”.After noticing what seemed to be a lack on the focus of personal hygiene and cleanliness in preparedness planning, Jane authored the book “Where There is No Cosmetic Counter” and it’s first revision, “Survivor Jane’s Guide to:Emergency/Survival Hygiene – A Prepper Cookbook on Making Survival Hygiene Products. She is a contributor to National Geographic Channel’s Doomsday Preppers blogTV and to numerous preparedness periodicals such as Prepper and Shooter Magazine and Prepare Magazine. She was featured in Season 4 of Doomsday Preppers; with a focus on back-to-basic preparedness and the 2015 Special Newsweek Edition – OFF-GRID.When Jane isn’t writing for her disaster survival and preparedness website, you will find her on any one of her social media network sites discussing preparedness. She is a national public speaker at various preparedness conventions and expos; as well the co-host of Prepper Camp; a three-day total immersion event held yearly on preparedness, survival and homesteading skills.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/preppingacademy)
In today’s world we are always connected. Cell phones, computers, and social media are almost always within our reach. This ease of access also comes with ease of mind. With a few swipes you can see where your children, wife, and even friends are. It’s not hard to see how people have become complacent and reliant in a world where emergency services are always a button away. What happens though if all of that is taken away?I’ve often said the sign of true prepper is one that practices scenarios in their mind. Imagine for a moment any variety of scenarios that could leave you without communications: natural disasters, EMP, terror attack and subsequent overloading of the communications grid, or even something as simple as losing power.Where is your spouse? Your children? How can you get to them? Will they stay put, or travel out trying to find help? Personally, I can imagine this would bring me a great amount of anxiety. So what would the USA look like if we all lost communications at the same time? Chaos. It tethers us together, but ultimately can be our greatest Achilles heel.Join us Friday August 5, 2016 at 9:00pm EST as Forrest and Kyle discuss what actions items you need to complete your personalized family emergency planning. There will be a lot to cover so be sure to keep a pen and paper handy. Not a computer. After all, it does you no good if the computer doesn’t work. Some of the topics we’ll be covering will include: your family emergency planning binder, important documents, emergency meeting points, bugging out, information gathering, and security.Signed up for The Prepping Academy newsletter at preppingacademy.com.
