Having been in real survival scenarios where bugging out was the only option - as well as facing the reality of long-term, long-distance military missions - I've faced what works and doesn't work when it comes to forced evacuations scenarios. Unfortunately, much of the information littering the internet about how to bugout when you're smacked in the grill with a disaster is based on fantasy and regurgitated survival advice that coul literally get you killed in a real crisis. So I decided to pull back the curtain on the "top 5" biggest bugout mistakes I see all the time to help you become better prepared. Here's what awaits you in this week's episode...

Apologies for today's podcast - it's from our archives and... ... the audio sucks! But please spare me the harsh comments because I have a good reason for not having our normal broadcast ready to go... Problem is, my home town has been devastated by our worst flooding in recorded history and I've been helping out with relief efforts. Homes are destroyed and people have lost their lives... but I didn't want to break our routine any more than necessary so hopefully this old interview I did will give you some good material to chew on. Thanks for your understanding... and your prayers. ~ Jeff

Yes, we all know the government is spying on us - as well as hackers and other nefarious characters who want your information for their own personal gain.

While you and I may both realize that we live in a dangerous world, far too many of us are actually what I would call "too confident" in the ability to face any attack or threat. You see, it's not just about having the most badass gun... a bugout bag... and a G.I. Joe kung-fu grip. It's about the mental preparation you do BEFORE ever facing a real life crisis. In this week's episode, we go deep into the mind of a real-world "bodyguard to the stars" to uncover some of the survival mind-set strategies you can use (today!) to be a better protector of those who are counting on you.

Facing off against a gang of 2, 3, or more street thugs who have targeted you and your family for a violent ambush is perhaps the most feared self-defense scenario you could ever face.

How to "control the space" when you're being rushed from all

Of course we'd all like to think of our home as a "castle" that will protect us from the outside world... especially if faced with a gang of marauding looters during a disaster or collapse. But just having 4 walls around you isn't enough to keep you and your family safe during civil unrest. That's why I grabbed, Pat Henry, to drag him back on our show to reveal his best tips for planning NOW for the potential threat of looters in a time of social chaos.

It's no secret that you're being spied on... right now... by at least 3 different sources you're not even aware of. It could be your phone... your computer... your neighbors... or even the government. It's not science fiction - it's the reality we now live in in the "digital concentration camp" that has sprung from the fear of domestic terrorism and the rise of anti-government voices.

Been traveling (a lot!) lately so not around to do the reloads for several weeks.

I know you've heard the so-called "street fight stats"... "85% of all streetfights go to the ground", right? Hell, I think I've used that statistic at least a bazillion times myself... and regardless of the actual numbers, the fact is you are likely to end up on the ground in a real fight - and that's the last place you want to be!

Too many people dismiss the tactical tomahawk as some kind of "fantasy weapon" that has no practical purpose in a survival arsenal. I beg to differ.  And so do thousands of soldiers and law enforcement officers who right now are carrying a hawk on the various streets and in war zones across the globe. In this podcast, the #1 tomahawk supplier for military and police, Eric Fehrman, reveals why you should consider adding a haw to your own survival weapons cache... and how to put it into use during a crisis.

If you're like me, one of the things holding you back from making sure your self-defense skills stay sharp and ready for combat is the ability to train. If it's not time, it's equipment... if it's not equipment, it's finding someone to train with. Well, like they say, "excuses are like a-holes... everyone's got one!" Sorry to say, you'll no longer have an excuse not to train once you listen in to this week's podcast with former street cop and self-defense badass, Loren Christensen... Here's what you'll discover in this week's broadcast... Simple solo training equipment that you can beat the living hell out of (that won't break your bank account")!

You might think that "martial law" - the temporary (or permanent) takeover of an area by government-controlled police and military - is just some doomsday prepper buzzword that could never take place in America. You'd be wrong. The fact is, we've already experienced martial law in U.S. streets and this week's special broadcast should serve as a wake-up call for every patriotic American - or anyone else in the world concerned about freedom. These are the survival skills that are going to require you to take action NOW... and plan a smarter way of protecting yourself when the rules change in an instant. Here's what you'll discover in this week's broadcast... What martial law REALLY looks like when you look out your window and the armored personnel carriers are roaming your streets!

Do you want to be able to defeat any "bully" - whether it's the drunkard at the bar or the self-serving co-worker at the office? Maybe you'd like a higher salary... more peace of mind... perhaps even attract a new lover? While you can go out and find books, videos, and expert advice on "techniques" that will attempt to help you learn these techniques, the bottom line is that it all begins with your mind... and how you use your natural powers of "mental warfare" to enrich your life and fill you with the confidence of a Master. It's easier than you think and this week you'll get an inside glimpse (literally) of what you're capable of as renowned expert, Scott Bolan, shows you the way. Here's what you'll discover in this week's broadcast... The 2 types of people walking the mental warfare "battlefield".

The everyday-Joe's guide to the Law Of Attraction - and how to effortlessly bring in more moolah, power, and love into y

Too often, gun owners get so focused on their marksmanship skills to survive a real gun battle that they neglect the other "battlefield" they must also survive - the courtroom after they were forced to pull the trigger. Of course the movie that plays in your head always has you positioned as the hero and the "bad guy" gets what's coming to him... but real life case studies have shown that the legal system can be a real bitch - and not always in your favor. This week we talk again with Peyton Quinn of www.StressShooting.com to reveal the cold, hard truth about the legal mistakes so many armed citizens make that could land you in a prison cell, even if you were legally justified to shoot in self defense. Here's what you'll discover in this week's broadcast... When should you accept a plea bargain offered to you by the DA after a shooting? Why the jury is 50% of your "innocent" verdict... and the rules of jury selection that don't always fall in your favor. Specific criteria you need to look for when choosi
