This episode examines what private military companies and campaigns look like.
I discuss traditional and emerging trends in private military warfare which tends to still take place in nation-state warfare. While combat support and combat service support billets have been filled with private military entities for all know history, the emergence of larger and larger forces of private kinetic and trigger puller entities has gotten larger over time.

In this episode of Ready Your Future, Todd draws powerful parallels between the Pilgrims' journey and modern preparedness, demonstrating how their story offers crucial lessons for today's preppers facing potential SHTF scenarios. Their experience proves that true preparedness goes far beyond stockpiling supplies—it requires developing practical skills, building strong community bonds, and cultivating the psychological resilience needed to adapt when everything goes wrong.
Todd emphasizes how the ability to adapt when plans catastrophically fail mirrors the flexibility modern preppers must develop. The episode reminds us that whether facing religious persecution in 1620 or economic uncertainty today, the principles remain the same: adaptability, community cooperation, and maintaining gratitude even in hardship are the true foundations of survival and the ability to thrive beyond mere existence.
