Troy Grice

This week Mike and I are joined by author Troy Grice. I have previously reviewed Indivisible and have a review copy of Oathkeeper. I am a slow reader with a backlog so I invited troy on. We had a great time chatting with Troy on his new book Oathkeeper.

This book like Indivisible plays on government corruptions a lot. Also on those on government that do the right thing. Troy brings a balance to his characters I like. He doesnt paint unrealistic pictures.

We also dig into politics a bit. Troy being an Anarcho Capitalist and I being a Anarchist. Mike does not have a label. Troy talks about his transition from conservative to his current leanings.

We talk about whether people are waking up to freedom or steadily sleeping. We all agree that that majority is still asleep and remaining so. That nothing seems to be jarring folks awake to their prison cells.

Lastly we laugh about the presidential race. How we are in the Idiocracy race. The people are now demanding a WWE style performance from candidates. That the front runners are so over the top ridiculous that it is insane for Trump and Sanders to be poling so high.

Bugging Out To Walmart

Thinking about Bugging Out To Walmart? Is that you plan for the P.A.W? If so you might want to listen to today’s show. I remember before I got into survival I had lot’s of idiotic plans for when The shit hits the fan. Bugging Out To Walmart was one of them. Though the word plan could hardly be applied.

Many think that during an apocalyptic situation they will just stroll into the local box store and load up. Fill their shopping cart up and drive home like usual sans the payment. That they will get to the store first and hold it as a fortress. They also believe that they are the only ones that have ever though about this.

Gary Collins on Advanced Nutrition.

Advanced Nutrition

This week we talk Advanced nutrition with Gary Collins. After having Gary on about his off grid project I wanted to pick his brain on more nutrition. Gary, creator of the primal power method, has been in the industry longer than the competition. He is one of the few Master Level personal trainers. He knows his stuff when it comes to advanced nutrition.

I hit Gary with some tough ones this week. Many questions that I have on my health journey. I feel though that many have the same problems. There is a lot of talk in the health blogs on intermittent fasting, gut health, and weight loss stalls.

Gary handles all my hard ball questions without flinching. The mark of a true expert. On many points we agreed completely. On a few I heard answers I didn’t expect. That got me excited. One of Gary’s tops supplements he recommends is turmeric, which is good for weight loss. That’s not something you hear from others in the field.

Gary goes in-depth on the topics. We spent a good 20 minutes on just intermittent fasting. The whys and hows. We also talk about who fasting is not for. It is a great tool for weight loss. But not right for everyone. Definitely not for beginners, elite athletes or bodybuilders. If you are trying to put on mass restricting your eating to a small window is stupid. If you are largely sedentary and trying to lose the last few pounds it works great.

I love Gary’s take on blood work and supplements. There are several supplements to be taking without any blood work. Vitamin D3 is one. We can guarantee that if you live in the continental 48 you need it. If blood testing was cheaper testing would be or viable.

Winter Car Maintenance

This week Mike and I are joined by Grizz to talk about winter car maintenance. Grizz is my head admin on the Survivalpunk Facebook page. He knows a thing or two about winter car maintenance. Grizz lives somewhere in the frozen wasteland of Michigan.

He has grown up a prepper and mechanic his whole life. He now works as an airplane mechanic. Which in my opinion is the most important. If you mess up planes drop out of the sky.

Grizz gives us some tips on winter car maintenance. Including some overlooked ones. We talk about tools and spare parts you should keep. How much is too much?

Since he is also a prepper we talk cold weather preps too. What extra considerations are needed in your vehicle preps in the north. There you might want to consider a portable heater. Here in the south zero degree rated sleeping bags are enough. Since you can’t carry water you need to plan on melting snow. So you will need a pot and stove.

A good pair of cold weather boots is important too. Don’t get stuck with Desert combat boots like me in the snow. They are not made for the cold or that much moisture.

Don’t forget to stop by the Fanpage and thank Grizz.
