Throughout last year we repeatedly spoke about the freedoms that Americans enjoy every day. We spoke about the needs for individuals to not only express their freedoms, but to be prepared to fight for them if necessary. No, not like those freaks did on January 6th of this year, but pay attention to the voting booths, and the proposed ordnance’s and laws that are up for a vote. To be a civilized society, we must each endeavor to be respectful of the rules governing a society. Unlike the clowns of early January 2021, we need to have order and discussion. That is how a society works. There are rules, and the idea that we trample others rights in the demand for our own is a definite path to anarchy, and societal collapse.

Tonight is the long awaited introduction to our second season here at the Alaska Outlaw podcast. Throughout the last year we’ve covered many different topics, and found several themes that emerged throughout the year. A year of informative podcasts to look back upon, I want to look at these threads and hopefully shed some more light on those themes. First and foremost, I want to sincerely thank each of you for following us, and hope that our second year will be just as fun, and educational as the first one was.

Let’s talk about what a “doomsday theory“ is. When considering what we need to be prepared for, thinking about the end of the world as we know it should always be in the back of our mind. How do we go on after society has imploded? Considering all the items that we have in our lives will be gone, or impossible to replace. Our lives will be completely different, but yet we’ll retain the knowledge that we had them, and what they did. So, contrary to those who say that humankind will be thrust back to the Stone Age, the knowledge of the developed technology will be retained, thereby allowing crude replicas to be created. This then provides a stark contrast to going back into time, before there was an understanding of these conveniences. So, while we talk about the loss of current conveniences, some of these Doomsday theories are survivable. So, with all that said, let’s talk about a couple more possibilities other than our intro today.

Whenever discussing conspiracies, one must be cognizant of the kernel of belief that there is in the underlying principles. Notice I didn’t say kernel of truth, I said belief. I say this because there are some folks across the land who are convinced of the validity of these claims, therefore are hoarding resources to that end. However for the rest of us, we should consider, if only briefly, the possibility of their concept coming to fruition. While we have no obligation to subscribe to their theories, we might want to consider the modification of our preps to ensure we could handle the fallout from their conspiracy coming to reality.

The need for survival methods. Events in our lives that we’ll need survival tactics to continue our lives. Whenever we talk about Survival, it’s when it’s a major event, or we’ve heading off to the woods for a long weekend. We bring up the subject when there’s a huge natural disaster and we are left without power without our resources without food those types of things. However, all too often we failed to remember that it’s the little things or the smaller events that will get us in the end. With this in mind, I’d like to open up our discussions this week and talk about survival verses real strategy for getting through an event safely, and healthy. There are those amongst the Survival genre, who feel that constant practice is the only key to success, more like muscle memory for the activities necessary to survive a natural disaster.

Whenever we talk about the US power grid crashing many immediately assume that we’re breaking out our tin-foil hats to broadcast another fox newscast. However, bringing it back to reality a little when we talk about instances like what we witnessed on the East Coast with a pipeline that got shut down by electronic terrorists and essentially left the consumers in the dark. Although in that case, it was another utility, the underlying principles are the potentially the same. So the question is how do we, as individuals function if our local power grid were to go offline. With the modern world running at almost 100% of some form of electricity, we are left to wonder what exactly would happen to society, to our communities, and most importantly our friends and family.

We frequently discuss the “end of the civilized world as we know it”, and one of these days we might be right, however, given the more realistic perspective, the larger probability is going to be a large-scale natural disaster that crushes the currently communication channels, either by eliminating the power sources, or by overwhelming the standard communication channels to the point where it can be considered a failure. To this end, we need to consider the standard channels that most common Americans are going to use in the midst of a natural disaster. Today, we’ll discuss the failure of:

* The Internet (all associated communication channels)
* Television (digital or analog)
* Cellular communications (no cellular towers of any speed)
* AM/FM Radio

The idea that your home is capable of returning every penny invested in alternate energy sources may strike many as a fantasy commercial, however, I’m here to tell you that with modern tech, it is completely possible to replace the local utility grids with pure profit for you. The first thing that I am about to share will be the possibilities, followed by some real world rubber on the road implementations of this tech.

This week I hope to be your guide at actually putting rubber on the road, without an anchor in your wallet, to create partial security barriers out of everyday living conditions that might be just enough inconvenience to prevent random, opportunistic scumbags from violating the sanctity of your home.

Following the underlying principles of survival, we must consider the many necessities of long term survival through many different possibilities. So, to begin our discussion about survival strategies, we must first separate our survival plan into the objectives. By defining each of the scenario objectives, we are better positioned to develop emergency plans for each of the scenarios. Ok, so what are these “scenarios?” The major method of classification for events is the elapsed time until life could return to pre-event standards.
