Hurricane Helene's impact and lessons learned. Part III
In this insightful episode of PrepperNet’s podcast, Patrick steps in as the guest host for Forrest Garvin, bringing a fresh perspective and leading an in-depth discussion on surviving the intense Hurricane Helene while at Prepper Camp in the mountainous region of Saluda, North Carolina. Patrick is joined by three remarkable guests: Beth G., Pistol Pete, and Forrest Garvin himself, each of whom played a vital role in the emergency response efforts that unfolded during and after the hurricane.
The episode dives into the invaluable lessons learned from Hurricane Helene and examines the profound impact of what they call the “refied effect” on the community, particularly in areas like Spruce Pine and the Avery County Airport. Through personal stories and candid insights, the guests discuss their respective roles and experiences throughout this challenging time.
Beth, a dedicated volunteer stationed at the Avery County Airport, shares her experiences managing logistics during the storm. Her account sheds light on the intricate work required to keep supplies flowing to areas in need and the tireless dedication of volunteers who worked around the clock to maintain some semblance of order in chaotic conditions. She details the logistical hurdles she faced and the teamwork that was essential to keeping operations running smoothly.
Forrest Garvin, meanwhile, opens up about the immense responsibilities he shouldered as he coordinated supply lines, organized search and rescue teams, and oversaw a dedicated network of volunteers. With a strong background in preparedness and crisis response, Garvin explains how his training and experience helped him manage this large-scale effort under significant pressure. His firsthand insights offer valuable takeaways on leadership, coordination, and resilience in the face of natural disasters.
Pistol Pete brings his unique perspective to the discussion, reflecting on the need for effective communication, quick decision-making, and the importance of having a prepared community. Together, they analyze how the community’s preparedness played a critical role in minimizing damage and supporting each other.
Throughout the episode, Patrick guides the conversation to extract actionable lessons and thoughtful reflections, all of which contribute to a deeper understanding of how to prepare for and survive similar scenarios. This episode is an essential listen for anyone interested in emergency preparedness, offering a real-life case study in the power of community, the importance of individual roles, and the collective effort needed to overcome nature’s toughest challenges.

In this episode, we dive into the aftermath of the T-REX readiness exercise, reflecting on the challenges, successes, and key takeaways from this intense three-day grid-down simulation. Join me, along with Patrick, the National Communications Coordinator for PrepperNet, as we analyze how the event unfolded from July 19th to 21st and the invaluable lessons we learned along the way.
We’ll revisit the various ways participants engaged in T-REX, from those who monitored the exercise to those who were deeply involved in off-grid operations. Discover what worked, what didn’t, and the critical adjustments we’ll be making to our preparedness plans moving forward. We’ll share real stories from the field, including overcoming technical glitches, like Raspberry Pi crashes and power supply failures, and the emotional journey of staying connected during a simulated crisis.
As we wrap up, we’ll discuss the broader implications of the T-REX exercise on future preparedness efforts. How can we better prepare for power outages and communication breakdowns? What are the next steps for those who participated, and how can others get involved in upcoming drills? Plus, stay tuned for details on the PrepperNet Radio Show, where we’ll continue these important conversations and build a stronger, more connected community.

What happens when the grid goes down? Can you stay connected and manage in a world without power? Join me, Patrick, the National Communications Coordinator for PrepperNet, as we navigate the critical T-REX readiness exercise, a three-day grid-down communications event organized by AmRRON from July 19th to 21st. This episode offers you the chance to explore different ways to participate, whether you're just monitoring or actively involved. Discover practical tips for preparing, such as testing your survival skills, turning off your power, and practicing bug-out drills. We'll also dive into the essential equipment and software you'll need to ensure seamless participation.
I’m thrilled to introduce Beth G from PrepperNet, who brings a fresh perspective as a new radio operator participating in T-REX for the first time. Beth takes us through her journey from using GMRS repeaters to earning her technician license and mastering digital communication tools like FL Digi. Listen to her riveting experiences, including managing critical communications during a medical emergency and an unexpected plane landing while traveling. Beth’s story highlights the importance of digital communication in emergency preparedness and underscores the confidence and skills that can be built through exercises like T-REX.
Finally, we reflect on the valuable lessons learned from the T-REX exercise, from overcoming technical glitches like a Raspberry Pi crash and a laptop power supply failure to understanding the intricacies of power consumption for off-grid operations. We discuss the emotional impact of providing welfare updates during crises and the importance of continuous radio monitoring for situational awareness. Plus, don’t miss our exciting announcement about the upcoming PrepperNet Radio Show and how you can become an active part of our community on the airwaves. Tune in to gain insights and prepare yourself for the unexpected!

Welcome to the "MAY HAM" episode of the Prepping Academy Podcast! In this episode, we delve into the three communication paths that PrepperNet advocates to help people achieve greater preparedness. These paths are essential for staying connected during emergencies and disasters:
1. Shortwave & SDR with Digital & Voice (Receive-Only): Shortwave radio and Software-Defined Radios (SDRs) are crucial for receiving information over long distances. We explore how to leverage these technologies effectively.
2. Technician License - Handheld or Mobile (Local Only): Getting a Technician License opens up the world of local communication using handheld or mobile radios. We discuss the importance of this license and how to get started.
3. HF Digital, QRP, JS8Call, FLDigi, WinLink: High-Frequency (HF) digital modes like JS8Call, FLDigi, and WinLink, combined with QRP (low power) operations, provide robust communication options. We share insights into using these tools effectively.
Join us at PrepperNet.Net and enroll in our Ham Academy to learn more about these communication paths and enhance your preparedness toolkit. Stay connected, stay prepared!
