Episode 106 – Modern Technology for Survival

Modern technology can be a good asset for survival. Too often many preppers discount it stating that most technological devices are “unreliable.” In this episode I will try to bust that myth. I will concede the fact that you can’t rely 100% on technological devices to save your butt. However, there are common disasters that do not necessarily cause cell phone towers or satellites to go down. I did this entire podcast with my iphone to prove that there are a lot of creative ways to use technology now, before the STHF.

Highlights:

  • Using Facebook and Twitter as survival tools.
  • Using your camera phone and video function on your smartphone.
  • Ham Radios.
  • CB Radios.
  • Using your computer as a survival tool.
  • Using CD’s, flashdrives and DVD’s as survival tools.
  • Power inverters are simple emergency items that come in handy.
  • Text messaging as a survival tool.
  • Using your camera phone to record inventory.
  • Getting accident reports and weather reports using technology.
  • 11 iphone apps that could save your life.
  • Modern medical technology that saves lives.

Episode 105 – Apartment Survivalism, Interview with Frazer Kon

Apartment survivalism is entirely possible and very realistic. Too many people think that because they don’t have a large homestead with a lot of rural property, that they cannot take steps to get prepared for common every day disasters. In this episode, I do an interview with Frazer Kon from our forum. He joins me from Canada and discussed what he’s done to prepare while living in a first floor apartment. A lot of what you will hear him say also applies to anyone and applies to living a more secure life right now!

Highlights:

  • Storing food in an apartment.
  • Storing water in an apartment.
  • Gardening.
  • Apartment security.
  • Financial planning for renters.
  • Preparing for power loss in apartments.
  • Modifying furniture to provide storage space.
  • Present day bartering example.
  • Having a plan.
