Diane Teagarden is an author and soon after completing her first book, she opened her own self-help book publishing company. She named it “Firewalker Publications” to remind herself of how she had “come through the fire” by facing her worst fears.

She has several books dealing with divorce, domestic abuse, and fiction, but today David talks with her about her latest book, Budgeting on a Dime- 10 Steps to Financial Independence.

Diane Teagarden gives good advice on budgeting without feeling poor, on saving money, and making lifestyle changes to get control of family finances.

*In doing a broken link check I found that firewalker publications is no longer a valid website.  I hope Diane Teagarden is still active in the publishing word because I really enjoyed her book and felt it was useful to all. It seems that a lot of self reliant advocacy buisnesses are failing lately. I hope that is not a trend.

This book is about personal responsibility, and has a lot in common with basic preparedness concepts.

We have been podcasting with the Preparedness Radio Network PRN for 6 months now.  I am pleased with the quality of information we have been able to provide.

I was working on a consolidated list of shows to celebrate this 6 month milestone.  However, while doing so, our audio editor had a major heart attack.

We aren’t going to have a live show this week in order to give him some time to rest.

So instead of a live show, we are going to have a “Best Of” episode.  I will put a consolidated list of shows with links below.

That way you can catch up on any shows you may have missed.

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

Today on the Shepherd School Show, David interviews Fernando Aguirre, also known to many preppers as Ferfal.

Fernando grew up in Argentina and tells us first-hand what life was like during and after the economic collapse of the 1990′s.

Most preppers make educated guesses about what would happen, or what they would do in a catastrophic disaster.

Ferfal has lived through it.  In today’s interview he and David talk about what happened, common survival strategies that people used, the economics of surviving disasters, the government and how it reacts, as well as many other topics.

Fernado also gives some good tips on what he found to work in real life.  I think this is pretty important and this is one of my favorite episodes of all.  I think every prepper should read his book.

At the very least, visit his website to see what a real economic disaster looks like.

What happened in Argentina can happen here in the United States. It pays to learn how modern people survived such a collapse

PRN Episode #27 Interview Survival Punk

PRN Episode #27 Interview Survival Punk

Survival Punk is a blog created by James Burnette. James takes a rational, creative approach to self-reliance, applying a punk DIY ethic to survivalism without any of the fear mongering or “tinfoil hattery” found in some other areas of the survivalist movement.

The Survival Punk blog covers a huge range of his projects, both success and failures along with a healthy bit of myth busting. He also provides a ton of dirt cheap creative solutions to common prepping needs and does a great job of integrating the paleo lifestyle with the prepping lifestyle.

I respect Survival Punk, and we partnered together on Dual Homestead where he lived on my land and worked to homestead it.  Unfortunately his anarchist tendencies and my need for plans clashed to the point where it just did not work.  However, I still think he knows a lot and he has a great website.

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

Emergency Mangement.com Prepper Article

Emergency Mangement.com Prepper Article

You might remember Emergency Management.com from the “Preppers are Socially Selfish” article a few months ago.* It wasn’t just their premise that upset me, but that  the “Academic” Author that proudly professed her lack of real world response experience put forth several “apologies” that were more “I’m sorry you are angry” or “I am sorry there is so many angry responses” – she never actually realized why people were angry, and soon retired without seeing the benefit preppers bring to their communities.

I also wondered about the tone of that article, since only a few weeks earlier, the editor wrote a column wondering why the preparedness message sent out by FEMA and non-governmental organizations like the Red Cross was not well received by the average citizen.

I responded to him that when you cry that the average person won’t listen to your advice, you should not follow up on the moaning by alienating those that take do your advice…

Anyway, I was quite pleased to see Emergency Management.com has posted a pro-prepper article entitled “Why Emergency Managers Shouldn’t Alienate Preppers“.  Of course this opinion was written by someone with field experience- maybe that’s the reason for the change of tone?

Just like I believed that the first article deserved comment by preppers explaining why Preppers are anything but selfish, and should be respected by the Emergency Management  community, I think this new article deserves comment rewarding the more enlightened viewpoint.

In my opinion, if preppers are tired of being marginalized, then we need to build bridges with the Emergency Management community where appropriate.

*Update:

Emergencymanagement.com has changed to Govtec and has removed the article.
