Not thrilled with then efforts to “drain the swamp” thus far.

I’ve started listening to quite a few podcasts. Mark Goodwin over at PrepperRecon.com is my regular stop(which I am to be a guest soon). Another is the Survival Medicine Hour. Others I am still feeling out and seeing what I like. Any suggestions?

NOTE: If you see a free preparedness eBook that you’re interested in get it now. Prices change often and there is no way to tell how long the book will remain free. Before purchasing a free Kindle book on Amazon make certain the book is still free by making sure the price is $0.00. If it lists a price or says “read for free” or has a price for prime members the book is not free anymore.
