Discussing geopolitical events with Steve Aukstakalnis from AlertsUSA.com. Some of the questions we try to look at in this podcast include:

- Are you looking at what's happening with the Ukraine crisis and wondering what the big deal is?
- Do you want to know what the implications are for us here in the states?
- Does Russia have the propensity to use nuclear weapons?
- What is the ramifications of Russia dropping the US petrodollar?
- What about other countries, are they doing it too? Is is possible that they can accomplish it?
- What does it mean for those of us here in the US for the economy?
- We also discuss removing counter party risk on your investments, as one way to protect your long term investment portfolio.
- Did Ebola break out of Africa?
- Should we be worried about the Ebola virus coming here?
- Think you know how Ebola can be transmitted? Perhaps you should think again!
- The conversation with Steve always goes longer than I plan for, but with this amount of good information,it's easy to see why.

Having been gone for a number of years, a new podcast has been published. In addition to a summary of why the podcast hasn't been updated, I discuss the several different types of preppers and prepping. The internet would make you believe you need to be all of these in order to truly be a prepper, and I talk about why this isn't even remotely true.

Episode 243 - The Different Prepper Types

Exercising is an important aspect in preparing for disasters. Unfortunately, too many people don't stay active and pack on the weight and get out of shape. If you're a prepper, staying fit should be just as important as food storage, water treatment, or any of your preparedness areas.
