    REFUGE MEDICAL REC ROOM

    If you’ve been a regular listener of the show, then you already know Medic Mike. He brought us the importance of first aid from Refuge Medical on episode 190, then returned to the show on episode 209 with an introduction to homeopathic medicine. If you missed those episodes with Medic Mike, be sure to go back and check them out. His knowledge of life-saving first aid and natural medicinals will blow your mind.

    Mike is awesome and we’re excited and honored to have him back again tonight to talk to us about Wilderness First Aid.

    And let’s be clear, we don’t have to be 2 miles into a deep forest off the beaten path to need these skills. From the backyard to the jobsite, from the Vrbo cabin rental to yes, the hiking trail to your favorite fishing hole… you will need these skills at some point. The more active you are, the needier you’ll be.

    He’s got decades of experience in saving lives and Refuge Medical Training as his platform.

    Get your notepads out my friends, it’s time to train.

    Let’s get to it.

    Christina Bowers FaceBook

    Bowers Realty Group


    Guys, you can feel the tension building.

    Prices go up, come down. Systems, like congress, drag on, stall, and even stop. Government Secrets, Big Pharma Scams, Stolen Elections, and Fake News. For too many years now, people have become way too comfortable pretending that it’s all good. Everything's fine.

    I hope so. I do. But hope… is not a plan. Hope is an emotional state of mind. Hope alone… is not a plan. We hope for the best, but plan for the worst.

    Tonight, we’re stepping into that world where Hope plus Planning equals Readiness, with return guest… Christina Bowers. Business owner. Realtor. Mother. Wife. and Homesteader.

    Hands in the dirt. Eyes wide open. Faith driven and No excuses.

    She’s managing her home. Raising her young family. Producing her own food, all while navigating the modern grind, at the same time. That’s the kind of pressure most people avoid.

    But not her. She leans into it.

    Let’s welcome Christina back to the show and see if we can get her to tell us how she does it.

    This episode is straight-up war planning for backyard gardens and patio planters.

    We’re breaking down the seed-start regimen we’re running right now… indoors, under lights, before the grid even thinks about blinking off.

    Which heirlooms and open-pollinated varieties of plants actually deliver calories when the niche-market hybrid-seed catalogs stop arriving in the mail.

    How we amend soil that doesn’t collapse the second the last truck of Jacks 20-20-20 rolls off the lot.

    Hardening schedules that don’t coddle weak plants into early graves.

    And layout decisions that turn every square foot of soil into a calculated succession growing minefield.

    This isn’t gardening for aesthetics.

    This is growing ammunition against hunger.

    Every seedling we force through these cold weeks is another notch carved into our rake handles.

    The Spring season is coming like a freight train with no brakes.

    You either get your starts locked in now, while there’s still electricity, still water pressure, still Amazon deliveries… or you spend the proverbial collapse explaining to your family why you thought that “later” was an option.

    No more excuses.

    No more “maybe next year.”

    The year is now. It’s happening with or without you.

    So, Let’s talk about that.

    First Person Prepping

    Tonight we're talking about radio communications. For a lot of Preppers, Comms is often a topic that’s boring and dry. It’s just not exciting and fun and admittedly, I am one of those Preppers. Like many of you, when the topic of radio comms begins, my eyes start to glaze over and five minutes later, I’m on a beach somewhere wiggling my toes in the sand. Completely mentally disengaged.

    And that’s why we invited our guest, Jake from First Person Prepping to come on tonight. You see, Jake Loves radio communications. You can feel his passion when talks shop and he does it in a way that helps Preppers like us stay engaged.

    Communications is one of those topics that seems to always be there, right under the surface. From family and friends to members of your Mutual Assistance Groups, from Emergencies to Bartering… we need to be able to communicate to survive. Radios are a great way to do this and certainly the best way during a long-term SHTF situation.

    So whether you love it or hate it, As Preppers, we have to do our best to learn the fundamentals of radio comms, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll be the communications subject matter expert in your group that we all turn to when the shit hits the fan.

    So let’s welcome to the show… Jake from First Person Prepping.

    Tonight we slip on our tin-foil hats and welcome back Bobby Spags to the show, to help us decipher Disclosure and how it affects the Prepper Survivalist community.

    Disclosure… there’s that word again. Don’t try to define it; it’s bigger than Webster’s definition. In today’s social media, news, and halls of Congress… Disclosure is a hot topic.

    In order to understand Disclosure, we must first understand the Black Swan Event. By definition, a Black Swan event is a highly rare, unpredictable occurrence with massive and severe, widespread consequences that is often inappropriately rationalized in hindsight, as if it could have been foreseen. These extremely rare events, lying far outside normal expectations, defy standard forecasting, causing major systemic disruptions and dramatically impact finance, politics, science, technologies, accademia, and society.

    A Black Swan Event, for all intents and purposes, are so improbable, they should not take place… yet occasionally, they do. Covid19… Possible, but highly improbable. Won’t happen in a modern world. Yet it did, and over 7 million lives were lost. The 9/11 attacks on US soil. Could happen, but with multiple threat detection and stop-gap technologies defending the US, it was highly improbable. Won’t happen. Yet it did. Three thousand lives ended, the NY skyline changed forever, and it had a massive impact on global economics.

    Black Swan Events… Possible, but highly improbable.

    Disclosure is a Black Swan Event… it just hasn’t happened yet.

    Seventy percent of Americans believe in Extraterrestrial life… UFOs, UAPs, USOs, Non-Human Intelligence, and Trans-Medium Crafts.

    Forty Nine Percent of Americans believe that these Non-Human Intelligence (ETs and Aliens), are not only real… they are in fact, here amongst us and working with world leaders to coexist.

    Sounds a little crazy…? Yeah, I’d agree with you.

    Disclosure, by definition, is the action of making new or secret information known.

    The President of the United States addressing the people of the world to tell them that Aliens are real… That’s Disclosure.

    It’s Highly Improbable… Can't be real… Never gonna happen…

    It’s a Black Swan Event that could change the world in ways we can’t even conceive of. And thats what we’re talking about tonight.

    In case you haven’t heard, there’s a new documentary that came out called, “The Age Of Disclosure”. Government and world leaders, from their mouths to your ears, will explain everything. “The Age of Disclosure”, I’ll put a link in the show notes.

    Jeremy and I are joined by Bobby Spags to discuss disclosure and how it’s important to the Prepper Survivalist community.

    There’s a lot of noise in the preparedness world these days… hell, most days. You’ve got explosive round-table discussions arguing about size and power, muzzle velocity, hot rounds and penetrating kinetic energy. 45 over a 9 if you want stopping power. 308 instead of 5.56 cuz the 2.23, well it’s just too small… and never go on a scouting run without your 12 gauge.

    Big calibers. Tactical setups. Chest rigs that scream… Fallujah, here we come. Everybody is talking about stopping power like they’re planning for world war Z.

    And why not talk about such things? I mean we’re not at war. There’s no real-world imminent threat taking place.. We’re not going hungry. Three squares a day. Warm bed at night. Go anywhere, do anything… It’s easy to sit back and talk shop when life is good.

    But when SHTF happens, and cities go dark, pantries go dry, and your loved ones are looking to you to get fed…well, the loudest rifle in the room, may not be the smartest one.

    Enter… the 22LR. The Garden Gun, Pea Shooter, Pop-Gun, Plinker, the Tick-Licker, yeah, or my personal favorite… the ol’ TooToo.

    The .22 doesn’t look impressive. It doesn’t flex for you on Instagram. It won’t punch your shoulder, rattle your teeth, or cause your ears to ring when it’s fired from a gun. What it will do however, is put protein in your belly, it will feed you. Quietly. Efficiently. Consistently.

    As Preppers, we all know that every round of ammo you carry has its place in your kit. And that holds true for the humble 22LR.

    It’s tiny, unimpressive, and well, sort of cute. But it's also underestimated and often overlooked as an essential tool when the grid goes down.

    The 22 rifle is a lightweight tool that’s easy to transport, in some cases can hold upwards of 100 rounds of ammo, it’s great for training new shooters without fear, and reliable enough to keep working long after the noise of the world fades.

    Tonight, we’re talking about the rifle that most people underestimate… and why that mistake could cost them when the grid goes down for good.
