Today we interview Joe Nobody (pen name for the author who wishes to keep his identity confidential) has provided systems, consulting and training for the U.S. Army, Department of Homeland Security, Office of Naval Research, United States Border Patrol as well as several private firms and government agencies which cannot be disclosed.

He is currently active in this area and for the security of his family and ongoing business, wishes to remain anonymous.

He has over 30 years of competitive shooting experience, including IPSC, NRA, and other related organizations. He has been a firearms instructor and consultant for over 30 years and holds the rights to a United States Patent for a firearms modification

Joe Nobody initially became involved in helping private citizens “prepare” at the request of his students and clients. A conscientious instructor, he would always inquire as to why they wanted to learn certain skills or techniques and often the response was to prepare for more than just simple home invasion or self-defense. If you ask Joe what his greatest attribute is, he will tell you he is a “problem solver” and uses his formal education in Systems Engineering to this end.

His book the Home Schooled Shootist is one of my favorite carbine manuals I have read to date.

Disaster Resilience is not about how much stuff you can buy, but rather how to balance skills, mindset, training, and then equipment and supplies to allow you to cope with disaster effectively.

Today’s podcast is based upon the Pathway to Preparedness which is one of David’s more popular talks that he gives to preparedness groups.

The show is scheduled for Monday at 10pm central time at this link.

Pathway to preparedness sets out a path that anyone can follow to become more prepared.  Being prepared is more of a journey than a destination.  No one can ever become 100% prepared.  However, anyone can become more prepared.

All you need to do is take stock of where you are and to make effort to increase your level of readiness.

This is podcast #34 and the goal of these podcasts are to help people become more self reliant without making the same mistakes I did as I started out.

I still make mistakes in preparedness, but those mistakes are well documented so you can succeed.

I gave this talk at a state preparedness conference and felt I should share it here.

I have noticed that not everyone shares the same belief systems that cause people to be “preppers” or interested in DIY or self-reliance, and that sometimes people can even think that those that want to do things themselves and take responsibility for their own life are “weird” or “strange”.

Because of this, whenever I find others  that share my belief systems and live nearby I embrace them and treasure finding those that are like minded.

Today I get to share with you one of those people – a brilliant mind that not only shares a lot of the same hobbies as I do, but has surpassed me in many of them…

I hope to have today’s guest on more in the future as Joe Hildreth is a leader in the Middle TN conservative movement, coordinates and teaches financial peace classes, and has built his own CNC machine –

But today, we are going to talk about casting metal.  We will talk about the basic premise, how to get started, why its something preppers should consider learning and give some good tips and books to learn more if you are interested.

Of all my interviews, this one was one of the most enjoyable, and I found myself asking questions that I wanted to know…

I would recommend that if you enjoyed the show with Joe Hildreth today, you visit his website at:

In today’s show we interview Steven Wright of 4 Walls International, Steven has earned B.S. in Biological Sciences with an emphasis in Evolution and Ecology from the University of California Riverside (2006) and is co-founder and executive director of 4 Walls International, a California based non-profit that uses abandoned tires and other trash to build sustainable housing in Tijuana Mexico.

The mission of 4 Walls is to to address and solve current and future environmental challenges while improving overall quality of human life.

Their program unites the community in the common goal of building dependable shelters that promote agricultural production and sustainability, we will encourage recovery of finite natural systems and promote education for a more environmentally conscious future.

With self-reliance as a goal, they have a lot in common with preppers – I have long said that our community can learn a lot from appropriate technology advocates, missionaries, and Non-governmental organizations working in third worlds.

If they can build sustainable communities in areas lacking resources and infrastructure, there is no reason why we cannot do the same here in America.
