    21 Days to Basic Preparedness: Book Review

     

    I decided to try my hand at DIY publishing on the kindle. This particular ebook has been around in various ways on my site for a few years.  I enhanced it and put it out on Kindle.

    It takes a while (21 days its said) to make a habit. This book is about making the habit to be better prepared.

    What I did was take all the academic training I have in Emergency Management, add in the experience I have earned working for a state emergency management agency as an operations officer and planner, and filter it through the viewpoint of a prepper to get something not commonly found in this niche. That is a scientific approach to prepping.

    21 Days to Basic Preparedness is a basic guide, and its not got a lot of specifics on how to can food or put together a solar generator (you can find specifics all through this site). What it does is address things like how to plan or and how to test your plan.

    I am offering this exclusively through Amazon.  Currently 21 Days to Basic Preparedness is only available as an eBook.  However, the plan is to create a paper copy also.

    Because I want to offer great information that is useful to you, I have posted the Amazon preview to  21 Days to Basic Preparedness so that you know exactly what you are getting when you buy this ebook.

    The Ultimate Guide to Pepper Spray: Book Review

    I decided to try my hand at DIY publishing on the kindle.

    The Ultimate Guide to Pepper Spray Now on Kindle has been in my head for a few years. I never tried to write it as a traditional book because a 30,000 word requirement just adds words for the sake of words.  I didn’t want to write a book of fluff.

    I wanted a book that gives easily understood, accurate, and useful knowledge concerning a less than lethal option.

    Not everyone like guns, not everyone can carry guns.

    As I wrote this I though of teachers like my wife, who would not ever wish to harm a fly, but have several children under her care.

    In this book I took all my experience as a chemical agent instructor having been sprayed myself multiple times, and seeing, or spraying others hundreds of times.  I have helped untold numbers of students decontaminate themselves after being sprayed in training.

    I know what works and what is bad information.  I share it and more in the Ultimate Guide to Pepper Spray .

    If you want to know the best way to tell if you have a strong pepper spray so you don’t get misled by marketing hype, if you need to know the best spray patterns to get for your use, or see some options for carrying spray while jogging or walking around, it is covered inside this book

    I am offering this exclusively through Amazon. The Ultimate Guide to Pepper Spray Now on Kindle as an eBook but it is also available as an paper copy.  As an additional value, if you purchase the paperback, you get the eBook free.

    Because I want to offer great information that is useful to you, I have posted the Amazon preview link to the right so that you know exactly what you are getting when you buy this ebook.

    YouTube Banning Firearms Related Content

    I just read that  YouTube Officially To Start Banning Firearms Related Content and followed the link to the official youtube policy.  Because of this I immediately began removing those “offending” videos from YouTube so as not to lose my entire channel.

    https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7667605

     

    While I think this is a shortsighted and anti-American decision, this is a free market and they do have the right to remove those creators that don’t post what they want.  Personally I think it is chickenshit modern day book-burning, but you shouldn’t get to pick and choose what rights you want to enforce if you believe that our way of life means anything.  I wish the other side of the political spectrum was that honest.

    I get that they are afraid of guns, I get that they are afraid that the gun owners will rise up against them, after all if they had the numbers and the guns they would rise against us.

    What I don’t understand is how hypocritical and ignorant the entire discussion is.  People with no understanding of facts are dictating policy.  The willful ignorant should not be the deciding voice.

    If I owned a media outlet that allowed uploading of information I could not, in good conscious pick and choose who posted.  Especially by silencing the voice of the law abiding citizen.  I mean, sure libs hate guns, but everyone hates pedophiles – I had to ban my boy from YouTube because of all the overtly sexual content that is hidden as kid friendly material.  You’d think they would fix THAT.

    I will upload the offending videos directly to this website, and I am working on finding solutions to being dependent of youtube for the funding to do the videos I produce.

    *Update:

    I think I found an alternative to youtube that is

    • established
    • allows monetization
    • easy to operate

    I started a channel on Dailymotion, it is a french company that is not quite as big as YouTube, but it is large enough to be a competitor.

    Right now I am just uploading and embedding the videos YouTube has demonitized, but that is because I have over a thousand videos.  However, the goal is to completely remove YouTube.

    As I said, they are a private company, and have the right to do what they want, but they are not free from the consequences of their decisions.  Which is the loss of some of their best content creators (not that I an one of the best, but I am a member of one of their most popular niches)
