Water Is Life!
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 cover in the player below and 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 rights collapse under pressure from an organization which controls their flow of water? All things to consider.
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. It is a very broad one and we cover it quickly.

Alan Kay Winner of History Channel’s Series – ALONE…
Join Forrest and Kyle this coming Friday at 9:00 pm est for a special show with an amazing guest. We will be skipping Kyle’s Conspiracy of the Week to maximize the interview. During Forrest recent trip to Prepper Camp he 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 to ask any questions.

The Prepper Mindset…
This week we are going to be discussing 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 wh
en 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 this Friday at 9:00 as we will be discussing 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.

Economic Collapse…
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!

The recent surge in immigration throughout the United States has desire implications. Being aware of your surroundings is extremely important and they’ll be sharing some resources to 
help you assess your area. We will also discuss what you should do when faced with an active shooter incident.

Riots in Charlotte, NC
This Friday’s planned show has been canceled due to the events in Charlotte, NC. Forrest was going to be doing a recap of Prepper Camp that he attended the previous weekend. Instead we’ll be discussing the mounting tension between police and protesters; as well has having a live interview with Charlotte Mecklenburg’s District 5 county commissioner Matthew Ridenhour.
This 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.
Join 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? Listen in to the discussions!

Live from Prepper Camp
Live from Prepper Camp
Coming up this week Forrest will be calling in directly from Saluda, North Carolina while attending “Prepper Camp.” Assuming connections are good we’ll be discussing a variety of topics and possibly speaking 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. Spots for this upcoming week are sold out, but Forrest will be bringing back interviews filled with lots of great information and more details. As we’ve discussed in past shows 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.
Now, in the event that communications are not ideal, Kyle will also be calling in for the show and perhaps be having his way with a night of conspiracy and current events. For your sake let’s hope Forrest connections are just fine. Either way it’s going to be a great night to listen to “The Prepping Academy” as we get the best info to you from expert Preppers.

“Bug Out Bags, Get Home Bags and EDC”
On the next 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 (Everyday Carry). 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 two part series.
Bug Out Bag “BOB” List talked about on the show!

Groups, Build it and they will come!
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.
This week on the Prepping Academy Forrest Garvin and Kyle will be discussing how to start an area group and 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 will discuss how Forrest created the largest and most active prepper group in the USA. The Carolina Preppers Network currently has over 1,800 members that meets monthly in 7 cities in the Carolinas covering topic around prepping, survival or self-sufficiency. We will 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 will 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.
Kyle’s conspiracy of the week will be shocking as always and we will take your questions and comments LIVE via prepperbroadcasting.com. Also don’t forget to head over to preppingacademy.com and sign up for our newsletter. The newsletter drawing is quickly approaching!

Part 3 Intro to Prepping – 101
A step-by-step process to becoming a prepared prepper.
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. Don’t forget to head over to preppingacademy.com and sign up for our newsletter. The newsletter drawing is quickly approaching!

Medical Prepping Needs with Special Guest Skinny Medic!
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! Find out what supplies you should have in your car, home and at the range.

Family Emergency Planning
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.

Part 2 Intro to Prepping – 101
A step-by-step process to becoming a prepared prepper.
Tune in with us next Friday as Forrest and Kyle continue with their “Intro To Prepping 101” series. This week they will cover days 60 to 120 in a new preppers journey. Please listen to last week’s podcast for class one, the first 60 days. This series covers items to purchase, skills training and mindset.
“Intro To Prepping 101” will provide a broad overview of topics related to food, water, heat, shelter, defense, and self-preservation. Taking the time to develop your plans and preparations unique to your needs now will reduce your everyday stress and increase your ability to not only sustain and thrive, but also help others. This class is a twelve hour course the Academy offers to both beginner and experienced Preppers. It will take someone through a step-by-step process to become a well-prepared prepper.
Though “Intro To Prepping 101” is skill and gear focused, we at the Prepper Academy believe mindset is paramount. Without the proper mindset many would be Preppers will find themselves overwhelmed, paranoid, and potentially a danger to others. That is the last thing we want to see happen. Prepping is about community and mutually assured survival. We’ll be covering that much more in depth in the near future.
We are currently in the process of making “Intro To Prepping 101” an online certified course that will be offered on PreppingAcademy.com once it is launched. The course will be broken up into six segments. Each segment will cover two months of training. It’s done this way to help Preppers on tight budgets as well as not overwhelm newcomers. We help guide people towards what they should purchase, what skills they need to learn, and how one can prepare their mindset. Forrest and Kyle will be discussing class two while taking questions via phone and the chat room live!
