Josiah tells us how he woke up to the need to prepare when he was serving in the military in Afghanistan. The preparedness movement is much more common amongst those who have served over seas. They do not suffer from the same level of normalcy bias that other Americans do. They have seen with their own two eyes what it looks like for a society after it has hit the fan.

Josiah also recently started an internship with Jack Spirko of The Survival Podcast. Josiah tells us what he has been learning about permaculture and what new projects he has been working on at Jack’s new homestead.

The Brink of Freedom online magazine features several writers from the Survival Podcast Community. Each writer is free to focus on their area of expertise. Categories include Homesteading, Health and Wellness, Politics and Economics, Outdoor Activities, and Tactical and Firearms. Head on over and check out the new site at Brink of Freedom.net.  Make sure you check out my economics column each week at Brink of Freedom, Prepper Econ.

Happy prepping!
