Summary: In honor of Independence Day, today I discuss some philosophical aspects of Survivalism and Preparedness, such as being self-reliant, freedom from dependence on the typical "modern" systems of support, and other similar ramblings. Also, although I didn't talk about this on the podcast let's remember that our freedom is not "free" but instead is preserved by those who keep us safe. If you get a chance, say thanks to a veteran, a police officer, fireman/woman, EMT, etc. today! :) WARNING: This was another "rolling podcast" so the audio quality isn't great at times. Sorry!
