Uncle Buck and Forrest also stress the importance of having a plan and being able to adapt that plan to changing situations. They emphasize that you should always have a backup plan for any eventuality and be prepared to adjust those plans as needed. They believe that having a good plan is the only way to survive any disaster, and having the proper mindset will ensure that you can make the necessary adjustments when necessary. Uncle Buck and Forrest also discuss the importance of having a strong support system. They encourage preppers to reach out to their friends and family for support and to seek out like-minded individuals who can provide valuable insight and advice. They also talk about the importance of building a community and providing support to those who may be struggling in a disaster situation. The Prepping Academy podcast is an invaluable resource for preppers, and Uncle Buck and Forrest provide an important perspective on the importance of mindset in prepping.

Cryptocurrency
02-07-2021
Cryptocurrency
This week on “The Prepping Academy” Forrest and Kyle talk crypto. What the heck is it and why would you invest? First and foremost, do you have food, water, and supplies for an emergency? No? Then stop. Crypto isn’t going to save your life. Neither will gold, or silver in a grid down, or WROL society. One of the most common misconceptions revolving around silver and gold is that they will be the currency in a grid down, or major event. That fact is completely false. If you’re a Christian making the argument for gold and silver let me redirect your attention to Ezekiel 7:19. If you’re not religious and you’re just investing let me explain. No nation which has deviated from a gold and silver standard has ever returned to one. If there is a full-scale market crash you’d be waiting on the devaluation of the dollar for your precious metals to be worth anything. By the time that happens violence will be the norm, supplies and goods won’t be circulating, and no one is going to give you a fair market for an ounce of silver because the actual value will be all speculation. And if there’s a grid down, what cash register or bank is going to accept it? None. So why crypto? Crypto is the wave of the future. It’s the direct intent being spoken of across the globe by the powers that be; not just behind closed doors. The content of this podcast is not to be considered financial advice. We recommend everyone do their own research. Find crypto’s with vital utility and make the decision that is best for you!

Water and Water Shortages
25-06-2021
Water and Water Shortages
Welcome to The Prepping Academy! The podcast this week is brought to you by Kyle and newcomer Miranda. They will be discussing “Water, Water Shortages, and How To Prepare.” With massive droughts hitting the western United States, folks in that region must be preparing for the possibility of water utility cutoff. The cascading effect of the drought means many utility companies have cut off farms which will cause loss of crops and livestock, making things at the grocery store even harder. Miranda takes the wheel of the conspiracy wagon. She talks about the genuine possibility (and occurrences) of water utility companies being hacked and how these hackers might try to poison people by manipulating sanitation chemical levels. Remember, you can only survive “3 days without water.” Listen, takes notes, and get to work preparing while you can. As always, please rate, subscribe, and pass us along; because - the more people that are prepared, the less you might have to put up with their whining. https://preppingacademy.comhttps://preppernet.comMontana Outdoor PodcastA weekly podcast covering the topics and people that make Montana’s Outdoors like no...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifyJoin PrepperNet.Net - https://www.preppernet.netPrepperNet is an organization of like-minded individuals who believe in personal responsibility, individual freedoms and preparing for disasters of all origins.PrepperNet Support the showPlease give us 5 Stars! www.preppingacademy.com Contact us: https://preppingacademy.com/contact/ www.preppernet.net Amazon Store: https://amzn.to/3lheTRTwww.forrestgarvin.com

New Year and a New Agenda
Welcome to The Prepping Academy. It’s a New Year and a new agenda for the show. 2020 was a wake-up call to many Americans, and even a test run for others. This makes it a great time to get organized and start fresh with your prepping. In this episode, Forrest and Kyle briefly address the events of the past week surrounding the election before getting into the new objective for the show. Going back to roughly 6 years ago Forrest and Kyle started discussing a 30 days breakdown for preppers to get ready. Now that agenda has certainly picked up and the pace should be expedited. With that said the actions notes discussed in the show are not intended for a 30 day period. They are your challenge for this week! Much of these things are free but will take some time and thought.

Forrest and Kyle discuss the reality of the coming year!
Welcome to The Prepping Academy. It’s New Year's Eve! Congrats to those who survived the face diaper zombie apocalypse! What a year though.In this episode, Forrest and Kyle discuss the reality of the coming year. There has been RAMPANT speculation by so many different sources; many of which are outing themselves as irresponsible, unconnected, and false prophets. Moving forward into the new year it is essential to listen to good sources with solid track records.The election showdown is weeks away and the potential for explosive civil unrest is rising. January 6th will see hundreds of thousands pouring into DC, including militia, to support Trump and demand election integrity. With that said, going forward this year it is important that the cancel culture gets canceled. We encourage everyone to avoid companies and media groups with Chinese backing. Closing up the show Forrest and Kyle discuss a little bit of what’s coming down the road for The Prepping Academy and getting back to basic for people who may just now be starting to prep. And Forrest shamelessly plugs his books. Thanks for listening. Like, Subscribe, and look forward to 2021 with zombies, asteroids, flying monkeys, and more prepping. Also, join Pi.
