Ep 105_Myths and Common Sense
Common Prepper Myths are discussed and debunked. Survival lists are useless without perspective and common sense.
Some common myths discussed:
- You’ll bug out and be camping for most disasters
- Guns are the first and only need in a survival situation
- You can hide indefinitely
- You’ll be fine if some event happens
- You need an SUV and Camper to survive
- It will be just like an emergency on tv
- I’ll have everything I need if I’m a good prepper
Some common sense discussed:
- USE your EEB (Emergency Evacuation Bag) on a weekend getaway. Take nothing else and see how you did. Take notes on what you forgot.
- Re-pack your EEB according to the seasons
- Have a fall-back room in your house if an emergency happens. Where should everyone meet if you hear someone banging on the door or you are in fear?
- If you have to use your gun in a survival situation (other than for hunting) your preps/survival plans have failed.

Panetta Spends Your Money on Weekend Trips to California Home
So, he works in Washington, but we PAY for him to fly to his California home every weekend.
HE took the job in Washington. He knew where he’d have to live. This is ridiculous. Shameful, pathetic.
Make THIS clown pay for his weekend vacations.
Does YOUR boss pay for you to travel to a vacation home every weekend?

Ep 103: Private Vault Heist
A private vault company was robbed here in Las Vegas this week. Here’s where it gets interesting. The company has no records of who you are. They don’t know and don’t want to know who you are. Your account is anonymous and you use your retina (eye) to enter the place. It’s open 24/7.
I was really interested in this place and at one time considered renting a vault. But the idea of no records, while great to keep the feds at bay, would be a nightmare for those passing it on to loved ones…or at least that was my concern.
Now that this very famous, ultra-private company has been robbed and anonymous people’s valuables have been taken, there are many questions left unanswered.
But my point to you is, this anonymous/hide valuables from the government scenario was too good to be true. Be careful with how you hide valuables and documents. I have a LOT to say about this and will turn this into a podcast with further analysis later. This will be a really enjoyable podcast. Stay tuned.
Company hides identities of vault owners, has few records.
