James Wesley Rawles Interview

Part of our mission at Prepper Recon.com is to conduct reconnaissance on the web and other information outlets to bring you the best intelligence around. Today’s post is an interview with one of the most respected preppers in America. In this recent commercial free interview on Coast 2 Coast, James Rawles talks about the economy and many other issues.

James Rawles is a former army intelligence officer as well as an author. He has written How to Survive The End of The World as We Know It, which is exactly what it sounds like. He has also written 3 fiction books on the coming collapse; Patriots, Survivors and his latest, Founders, which will be released on September 25th. James Rawles is also the creator of Survival Blog.com.

James Rawles has had a lot of influence on me and his views are very close to those of Prepper Recon.com. In this interview he speaks about the threats we are facing from our towering debt and steadily falling dollar. He also discusses the likelihood of food riots associated with a financial collapse or disruption of the SNAP program. SNAP is the electronically managed federal food stamp program and is vulnerable to EMP or disturbances within the internet.

James Rawles recommends reducing debt, building long term food storage and focusing on backup water supply systems in case of service outages. In the questions and answers portion of the show, James talks about the types of things people might look for in a barter economy. He recommends precious metals, such as gold ans silver coins. He also recommends ammunition as a batter item and things like kerosene and 2 cycle oil.

We have links to 2 of  James Wesley Rawles books from Amazon on the right side bar of this page, including Founders, which can be pre-ordered if you like. If you are new to prepping of new to Prepper Recon.com, please read our 7 Step Preparedness Plan to get ready for the tough times ahead.
