    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.
