David Chu, an ex-patriate citizen saw many people leaving the country because of the lack of reasonable government continuing as new leaders began to increase their strong-handed take-over of the country. David understood exactly how those people were feeling, since he had been born in China and had “flown the coop” when he saw “the handwriting on the wall!” “Like most people in the USA, I was pretty much asleep until 2003…I used to be a very conservative, right-wing person who believed in the American dream, the pax americana…so much so that in March 2003, I was helping organize rallies in support of US troops. This was at the beginning of the Iraq war…I was in Santa Rosa CA and we organized these rallies––thousands of people showed up! The Republicans were wondering how the heck did this guy bring out all these people waving flags and these giant placards that said Support Our Troops.  We had four rallies in Santa Rosa during that month alone! “So that’s where I started from. But then I went down the rabbit hole––very, very deep. To the point where I began to realize there were many problems with the 9/11 was the issue. It took me about a year to assimilate it and to digest it. I really, truly, like a lot of immigrants who come to this great country, I really believed in the good America, the Hollywood version, you know? And when I finally accepted the fact that the only ‘conspiracy theory’ on 9/11 is the government’s propaganda story…that took me about a year to digest. And once I assimilated that, my eyes opened up really wide, and I started to look at all sorts of issues. Get more details about the Patagonian paradise in his article at HERE.

Bob Gaskin is a former Marine Corps Infantryman who served his country from 1989 to 1995. He is a Conservative, Patriot, Veteran, Christian, Pro-Gun advocate, Pro-Free Market, Pro-Life, Astronomer, DC Lobbyist, and Historian. He is currently a Firearms instructor as well as a Survival Instructor at his Disaster Preparedness Boot Camp. Bob speaks at Preparedness Expos and Seminars all over the country. His purpose is to help people overcome their fears about natural or man-made disasters through education and understanding. In his spare time, he has written a book entitled Society Ending Events: The First 180 Days, and a newer book, Morals of Prepping–– Mental, Emotional & Spiritual Prepping. Bob has a strong personal belief that by the end of the year 2016, Earth will have gone through a series of events that will bring about a Society-Ending Event in the U.S. He also believes that less than 6% of the population will survive this period. He feels that the more people he can convince to stop listening to the smokescreen rhetoric prevalent in the media and propagated by fear-mongering conspiracy theorists and get them to start their own research, they will discover for themselves the truth of what lies ahead and be able to survive. Bob also operates Black Dog Gun Range, the largest privately-owned law enforcement training facility in Tennessee. The gun range, offers 27 different live-fire ranges, a 66,000 square foot indoor training facility with 50,000 square foot modular “kill house,” and 11 no-fire training ranges. Some of the training specialties are: Standard and Advanced Firearms Training, SWAT Training, Hand Gun Carry Permit Class, and Combat Focus Shooting Class.

Dale and Lisa Goodwin are guests on the Doctor Prepper CPR Talk Show to discuss how they have created a website SurvivalistPrepper.net  and are dedicated in their effort to work on preparedness as a couple, totally supportive of each other. They have a farmstead on the eastern plains of Colorado and enjoy their preparedness lifestyle. Though not preparing specifically for an economic collapse or a grid-down event, they feel they want to be ready for any sort of personal doomsday that could arise by having the necessary equipment, such as a generator, emergency supplies and food storage. Dale and Lisa are also writing other of books, and being a “team” helps because they can bounce ideas off each other and clarify their family objectives and efforts. Their preparedness mindset has encouraged them to create a course for those initiating an interest in preparedness, and will be available in January 2014 on their website. They believe the right frame of mind is essential for anyone to live the preparedness lifestyle as opposed to trying to see it as just a passing fad. Visit their website and review the developing Survivalist Prepper Academy at Members.SurvivalistPrepper.net, a community for like-minded people to get together, learn and teach each other about a wide range of preparedness skills and ideas.

Joe Nobody believes “…you can have all of the water, food and medical supplies in the world and it won’t do you a bit of good if someone comes and takes them from you. Security has to be the first priority!” As a preparedness author of fiction and non-fiction books, his writings cover defense preparation for when things all fall apart. In this interview on the Doctor Prepper C.P.R. Talk Show, Joe explains: Why must preppers be fully able to defend their families and shelters? How do events develop on a critical timeline? What do the periods of social grace, realization, desperation, and reorganization mean? Is there hope for life to return to “normal” in the future? How can we deal with the uncertainty of any future localized, regional, or national event? Visit PreparednessRadio.com

Winter safety is not just something to wear or get inside of to keep yourself warm. It's more about understanding how everything fits together and works in harmony – synergy is the word. In short it's an understanding of all of the “components” involved. It's a SYSTEM of understanding, practices and physical items that provide safety and comfort. In this installment of WSMR we'll tackle the principles of Arctic (cold weather) nutrition. This is not a list of what to eat and what to avoid, rather it is the fundamental principles that, once understood, will allow you to make proper decisions in what is best to feed your personal biological furnace. Feeding this furnace and keeping the fire alive is fundamental to your comfort and safety. Jim Phillips is a nationally known speaker and teacher who has professionally taught thousands of classes all across the United States for 40 years. For a number of years prior to this career, his hobby was teaching cold weather safety & survival. Jim is a strong advocate of self-reliance living and family preparedness. He developed an entire preparedness curriculum by asking himself the question "What if?" and then setting out to discover what actually does and does not work. The answers he seeks (and then teaches) must be based on true principles derived from first hand experience. He encourages his students to develop a powerful positive purpose and mission to focus on in order to carry them through the serious challenges of life. Visit PreparednessRadio.com
