David and John will discuss new developments in prepping their personal experiences with prepping and what 2013 hold for all preppers.
Destiny Survival and John Wesley Smith are well known in the preparedness world as he has been doing this for a long time. I learn a lot from listening to him, and I enjoyed talking with him
The show is scheduled for Monday at 10pm central time at this link.
If you cannot listen on Monday, you can always download the podcast for listening at your own leisure.
*Update, I just found out Destiny Survival Radio is going out of business, I wish John the best in all his future endeavors and will miss his contributions to the field.
In this episode David talks self reliance. Being able to take care of yourself is a vital concept to preppers. But self reliance is not always easy. We discuss:
You can wait until you have the perfect situation, or you can just get started
Urban Homesteading, and what food production systems David has at his suburban home
Essay I,Pencil and why nobody can be truly self-reliant, but everyone should try
Once again, no one can be totally self-reliant because no single person can know or do everything. Additionally even if you can do everything you sure can’t do it all at the same time. Remember TANSTAFL there is no such thing as a free lunch. You will have to bend a little and join or build a team if you want to be truly disaster resistant.
This is a problem for me, I am not the most social person. But I try and so should you.

I recently was a guest on John Westley Smith’s Destiny Survival Podcast – John runs a very cool site Destiny Survival, and I highly recommend you visiting his site. We had a good time talking about a variety of preparedness subjects, and I learned a lot from just talking with him.
Destiny Survival is a very good preparedness website – like me, John is documenting what he is doing to become prepared. His says his websites goal is to “help you and other preppers as I continue along my own preparedness journey. You probably know already that we must prepare for survival in a rapidly changing world. After all, how will we live when life as we’ve known it has changed forever?”
I think that is a very noble mindset, and urge you to take a moment to visit his site. He has tons of articles on things like goal setting, emergency dental kits, Active shooters, the oathkeepers, and much more valuable information.
He is a very spiritual man, and is great about helping others, he is a writer, homeschooler, radio broadcaster, and all around good guy.
I enjoyed being on his show and look forward to talking with him again.
His show “DestinySurvival Radio” is a weekly podcast covering a variety of topics related to prepping and survival. A new program is released each Thursday, and most shows are roughly an hour long. He has been doing this a long time and is much more professional at the podcast game than I am.
The show will be live on blogtalk radio at 1pm this afternoon, but as with all PRN shows, you can download it after the show anytime for your convenience.
A recent road rage incident David was involved in.

Mindset is pretty important. I actually think mindset is the most important aspect of being prepared for disasters. I have talked about this multiple times. I particularly like the post on Whats Important Now. How you think and what you think about shape every aspect of your life. Proper mindset is what differentiates winners from losers, citizens from soldiers, and Soldiers from Operators.
Mindset has kept people alive when they have suffered injuries that should have been fatal. You just have to keep your head.
Additionally, the concept of what is reasonable tempers the mind. I may be willing to kill to survive, but being a reasonable person I balance this willingness with an understanding of the law, consequences, and morality. This balance can be a complicated algorithm on occasion, but the ideas behind reasonableness is simple.
