Prepping Academy

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 n

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

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 j

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-defen

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

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.

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 phy

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

After that Forrest is going to be discussing his recent t

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 a

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 importa

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 t

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

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 te
