Join Bobby Akart on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory

Tonight, Bobby Akart, the founder of Freedom Preppers, will join media icon George Noory on Coast to Coast AM at 10 pm PT / 1 am ET.

Bobby will be discussing the two new releases in the Prepping for Tomorrow series created in conjunction with the staff of Freedom Preppers. The United States faces many threats for which we should all be prepared. CYBER WARFARE, a #1 bestseller in eight Amazon categories, analyzes the use of cyber attacks to destroy our critical infrastructure. EMP: Electromagnetic Pulse, also a #1 bestseller, addresses the impact a nuclear delivered EMP bomb will have on our nation's power grid.

Most importantly, Bobby and George will discuss what you can do to prepare for both eventualities. Phone lines will be open. Bobby looks forward to taking your questions and sharing his knowledge of prepping with you.


For C2C listeners, I have both eBook versions specially priced at $2.99. Visit the following links to pick up your copy:

Heirloom Seeds for a Preppers Survival Garden

The process of gardening is the result of more than tilling, planting, weeding and harvesting. It is also the result of preparedness to overcome challenges such as location, pests and other unforeseen complications like unusual weather. Imagine the pressure a prepper will be under to produce a harvest after TEOTWAWKI when their life depends on it. After the SHTF, an ordinary vegetable garden becomes a survival garden.

Growing Your Own Food is Like Printing Your Own Money
 
I love that saying because it is true. It can also be modified to read growing your own food will keep you alive when the SHTF.

Water Storage for Preppers

One of the basic principles of prepping is the survival rule of threes. Under extreme conditions, you can only live:

Three Minutes without Oxygen
Three Hours without Shelter
Three Days without Water
Three Weeks without Food

Water is life. A person can only survive a few days without water. The easy availability of clean drinking water right now often makes us complacent about our water storage. However, you cannot assume that the current water infrastructure will be intact after a major disaster or other emergency. Water is delivered to your home through a series of buried pipes of various sizes and materials. If these pipes are damaged, it could take from a few days up to a few weeks to get them repaired to deliver water to your home again. Natural disasters such as floods or earthquakes may cause such damage, and pollute or disrupt public water supplies. It is wise to prepare now for such an event by storing appropriate amounts of water that will meet your water needs in an emergency.



For preppers, having an adequate water supply requires three steps: Catchment, Purification + Storage. Here we will deal with water storage for preppers as an integral part of a preparedness plan.

Hygiene + Sanitation for Preppers

In a post-SHTF world, sanitation and hygiene will be important to keep yourself and your family healthy. Running water may no longer be an option or a healthy choice, and you need to know how to practice good hygiene, proper sanitation and  keep your environment healthy. Very important considerations in a SHTF situation. Due to a lack of available medical facilities or treatment, health and disease prevention are going to be more important and more difficult to treat than ever after the TEOTWAWKI.
 
Improper hygiene or a lack of sanitation when you are off the grid is one of the key contributors to hundreds of thousands of deaths throughout the world each year. Although most of these incidents occur in third-world countries, recent history has shown that even in short-term grid-down situations, major sanitation issues can quickly escalate into huge health problems. Combine that with a lack of medical services and you’ve got some serious problems.
