Backpacking America

I go over 5 firearms that every beginner shooter needs to consider before their first purchase. For those who are more experienced in shooting, what do you think? Did I nail it on the head or do you have a different recommendation for our new friends in the firearms community?

The American Auto Body industry has you convinced that a F-150, Chevy 1500 or any other similarly made large truck is an absolute necessity.

THEY ARE NOT!

Most people need a mid sized suv or truck, especially if they live in the north eastern United States.

Why?

Mid Sized vehicles are often not breaking the bank and fit within the average persons financial situation, they're capable of; pulling boats, RV's and average Home Depot Hauls., and they can handle extreme weather just as well (if not better) than the bigger trucks.

What do you think? Am I right or am I missing out on what bigger vehicles have to offer?

When it comes to camping, firearms are often never discussed when considering the terrain and predators you will encounter when staking a tent in the wilderness.

In this video I discuss the 3 firearms I believe every camper, hiker and outdoorsman should consider taking with them when they set off into our nations cast lands.

For this episode I invited TJ Falah on the show to discuss what's new with his show, and plans for expanding his brand. We also memorialized 9/11, discussed the fall out of the Charlie Kirk assassination one year later and had a general discussion of politics.

Check out his show here ‪@TheAmericanFrontlinePodcast‬

I go over my meal prep for when I plan to camp for about 3-4 days.

Meal prep is always important when you're into physical fitness. When it comes to camping its importance becomes much greater.

Simple and nutrient dense foods will become your best friend in the woods.

Social Media and Podcasting has historical parallels to the radio broadcast industry in its early years. Both were unregulated and easy to get involved with.

Broadcast radio eventually became regulated and increasingly harder to participate in. The same is beginning to happen with podcasting and social media today.

In my book "Media & Democracy: A Historical & Ethical Analysis of Decentralized Media" I cover the common trends of broadcast and digital media, the good and bad of digital media and my professional outlook on its future.

New York State Senator Dean Murray joins me to discuss the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10th 2025.

Charlie Kirk was a conservative political commentator and founder of Turning Point USA. He was assassinated while engaging in open and free debate with college students at Utah Valley University.

We discuss where we can go as a country after this, how his assassination has stoked fear of utilizing our first amendment rights for fear of reprisal and comment on the shock we have regarding the cruelty shown to Mr. Kirk in death.

I deleted all social media apps from my phone, the results are shocking. I have found that I am more present around loved ones, less anxious and irritated, and have greater stores of energy.

The peace found from purging my phone has reduced my screen time from 6.5 hours to barely 2 hours of screen time, resulting in clearer thought processes, mental peace and increased willingness to socialize. I decided to embark on this change as I was experiencing physical pain from using my phone all day, mental fatigue from constant consumption and seeing the negative effects this consumption has had on my peers.

Currently, all social media platforms I exist on are accessed by my computer. I have not deleted any accounts, just changed how and where I access them. I decided to make the internet a place again, rather than an all encompassing experience.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is legally allowed to Expedite Deportation, deport without a trial, under 2 specific conditions according to IF11357: https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF11357

Due Process is accorded to all who live, work or visit in the United States. It is only under these specific premise' that illegal immigrants in these categories can be removed expeditiously. I also cover the immoral, yet legal, revocation of Haitian refugees Asylum status in the United States.

Covered as well is the irony of illegal migrants attacking soldiers and police officers of the United States while waving the flag of a country they fought so desperately to escape.
