  • Imagine being equipped with the know-how to handle the aftermath of a bleeding injury—whether it's a minor scrape or a deep cut. That's exactly what you'll grasp in this episode as Bill Bateman walks you through the essential steps of first aid and wound care. Bill shares his expertise on the ABCs of emergency response, emphasizing the importance of airway, breathing, and circulation, and guides us on how to tackle bleeding with confidence. Moreover, he highlights the life-saving Stop the Bleed program by the Ashland Fire Department, reminding us that cleaning wounds and seeking medical help is paramount. Bill's advice doesn't stop there; he knows that teaching others and being self-sufficient is vital in a crisis, and he discusses the need for two types of first aid kits—outlining what essentials your "boo-boo kit" should contain.

    In our second segment, we get into the nitty-gritty of what makes a first aid kit effective, from the practicality of vet wrap to the psychological comfort provided by fun bandages for all ages. Bill's insights into the items your kit should never be without, like gauze pads of various sizes and saline solution, are invaluable. He also navigates us through the importance of professional medical training and consulting healthcare experts for emergencies. By the end of this discussion, you'll not only be motivated to ensure your kit is up to scratch, but you'll also understand why looking at product ratings is crucial for emergency readiness—not just for minor issues. This episode is teeming with actionable advice that could make a critical difference when care is needed most.

  • Last time we talked about a car tire, flat and frozen to the street in two inches of ice. That set off an interesting series of events and ideas. This week we will discuss Donut Spare tires, "Spare Tire in a Can", and NO spare tires. Plus portable air pumps, and battery jump starters.

    I'll also give you some suggestions on Wound Care as a preview to next week's more in-depth segment. I'm also giving my Podiatrist a shout-out for some excellent work and getting me back on my feet-literally.

    We will finish off the episode with some good news, some questionable business decisions I've observed, and class reminders for this month.

  • It was a cold mess out there this past week and we went to the reserves to see what information we had to share. In checking, I found three prior podcasts about dealing with cold weather, emergency heat, and emergency power. We wanted to share those with you to keep you prepared.

    I also discussed some of the unexpected problems that come up when the Internet goes down in an Internet-based society. All that plus some classes that will be happening in the second half of the month that you may find interesting!

  • Let's take a look at what's going on due to the weather as a perfect example of why we need to be prepared. (Over 400 Thousand homes without power on the East Coast.) I'll also send up a flare on the EMP question. I know they are a serious issue, but the information is so divisive I am hard-pressed to make a recommendation. I need your help.

    I have some follow-up on the topic of regenerative farms and "buying local", some local shopping tips, and as promised, where to order some Oregon Buffalo. I've also got some information on the Refuse to Be a Victim team, and why you should be coming to see us for your training.

  • Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays if you prefer, to everyone out there from all of us.

    My wife and I just got back from a trip to New Orleans. We did all the Touristy things- We took the double-decker bus tour and had a memorable seafood lunch at Dragos in the Hilton. Not only was the lunch great but included some of the BEST gumbo we've ever had.

    Along with that was the worst excuse for a Po Bo I have eaten at the French market. Gak! We watched a TV show filming on Bourbon Street while having a libation, from the back of a pedicab. Exceptional driver and guide. We had some alligator on a stick. I even managed to decorate my dark slacks with the powered sugar from a plate full of Benigets.

    Well good for us. What's the point? Well despite it being in the low 50’s temperature-wise and too cold for gators, and the water lower than normal, we still had a series of great adventures thanks to some great people.


    When it is said and done, it is all about the people. Time for a look back at some of the lessons from last year and some thoughts on getting into 2024

    (And by the way: That lake I was trying to pronounce is: Cataouatche. The Swamp Tour is Ragin' Cajun and located in Luling, LA.)

  • Each month I review all kinds of information. I came acorss some notes I'd made perviously about some items worth mentioning. I'm going to be sharing information and a few links to things thatI think are useful.

    Medical information is pricesless and I'm including a link to a site I like quite a bit. It is run by an actual Doctor and Nurse and has all kind of useful information to share. The Stie is Doom and Bloom and I think it is worth a look. Not only does it offer medical information, but articles like What To Barter Off The Grid?

    I also found an interesting read on People to Avoid in a Collapsed World at Urban Survival. That includes s certain crazy Uncles at Holiday dinners.

    I'll be sharing news on our newly redesigned website and improved class booking for the coming year, and somequick stocking stuffer suggestons for gift giving. Be safe and look out for each other this busy Holiday Season.

  • The topic of Radiation and how to deal with it safely is a very deep dive. I shared links last week and I'm finalizing the topic here by stepping back and urging you to follow up and get first-hand training and product information. It is too complicated and important to hear secondhand. I'm including some new information on Rsperatiors or Gas Mask to designed to be used in an emergency situation.

    Now is an excellent time of year to take advantage of Black Friday sales to fill in any holes in your supply cupboard. It also occurred to me that some of my listeners may not be familiar with Thanksgiving, as it is an American Holiday.

    We have news on Classes, Gift certificates, and a Fruitcake that got passed back and forth for over 12 years. Is it still good? Was it EVER good is the question?

    A very Happy Holiday season to everyone in our family.

  • To be able to deal with a problem, especially a scary one, I have found you have to look it in the eye, say its name, and tell it to **** off. Then you can deal with it. The thought of a bomb, or a "radiation event" is like that. OK. We've named our fear.

    Let's begin to identify what steps we can take. I'm sharing resources to dig into. The first two have a wealth of information on useful steps to take and reliable product information. I'm including information about ways to measure radiation and the medication you may encounter if such a scenario were to take place.

    It is a big topic, so I will also be going back next week. I also want to touch on EMP and RDIF issues. (For some reason the two seem to be linked.)

    I also have class information and news on gift certificates. Thanks to my wife, I've included the address along with my invitation to come visit the range.

    You've got homework family.

  • This week I'm looking at the more advanced aspects of prepping in the medical area. Because it is a serious area of study, the standard disclaimer applies: I'm not a healthcare professional and this is not medical advice. Speak to your healthcare practitioner before making any changes as they can have very serious implications.

    I'll be sharing some resources for emergency medications, techniques for emergency treatments, and how to create survival caches. This is intended to be a basic introduction to the topic and will require additional research and effort to use properly on your part to be useful.

    I'll also have information on classes, and Gift Certificates for the upcoming holiday season.

  • A new listener from Southeastern Ohio reached out and had some good suggestions to share. His name is Todd and he reminded me that building a plan is the key part of the Bug Out Bag and it can be pretty overwhelming at the start. He had some good ideas to share. Let's take a look at some of those ideas, and I'll share some tips on how to build your plan.

    I'm pleased to report that we have good news on the new class, Non-Ballistic Self Defense, we are setting up. It is live on the website. We of course still have our Concealed Carry class happening on October 14th and again on November 11th. I recommend you register early, while there is still space. With the holidays coming up, you may want to book the Concealed Carry Mastery at the same time.
