Prepping

In Episode 28 of The Kershner Files, Dave provides the standard updates for PMs, Survival Realty, and state specific gun shows. From there, this week, he discusses Haiti and the movement from fiction to reality and the need for situational awareness. After that, Dave discusses the current plight of the American beef industry and implores his listeners to deviate from the usual supply chain grocery store route and source your protein from local farmers and ranchers. He then turns his attention towards solar power generators and their quiet noise signature in conjunction with battery storage. Dave closes the show discussing soil prep mistakes and the potential for the introduction of a copper wire into your garden to create an electromagnetic field to promote plant growth and ward of pests and bugs.

In this episode of The Jeffers Brief, John Jeffers sheds light on successful induction of members to your prepper group. He emphasizes on the need for a well-chosen survival team, navigating the challenges of establishing such a group within your community and the role of the OODA loop decision cycle as a selection tool. With strength in numbers as his mantra, he discusses the significance identifying potential allies and recruitment from those with similar interest areas.
Drawing inspiration from America's renowned American  Survivalist and The Prepping Wife, John provides guidelines on conducting productive conversations about preparedness, creating operational standards and fostering a friendly and lighthearted interaction to motivate potential recruits for long-term survival scenarios. He underlines the importance of member vetting for qualities such as organization skills, patience, a desire to learn, flexibility, and adaptability.
Enriched with John’s thoughts on FEMA's mission, privacy concerns, and ensuring a reliable support system within the group, this episode serves as a practical guide to building a prepper group ready to combat any disaster.
We further plunge into the significance of emergency planning, mental preparation and the OODA loop principle. We explore how anticipating unexpected events, ranging from house fires to natural disasters, can equip you to react efficiently in times of chaos. We delve into the wider application of the OODA loop in crisis management and everyday life.
Going beyond the surface, we scrutinize what fuels our preparations, which can range from fear of the unknown to the ambition of self-sufficiency. We assess the characteristic traits of a prepper and discuss how introversion and secrecy play pivotal roles in successful prepping. Listen and judge if you have the zeal, drive and dedication requisite for this lifestyle.
The episode culminates with a review of an insightful article, "Personality Types: A Deeper Look at Preppers," and an objective yet encouraging perspective on preppers in the workforce their strengths, and faced challenges. Tune in to enrich your understanding of prepping as a way of life.
