2021 Interview with Buchanan County Public Library

This is one of my favorite libraries in the world. In a world where so many people coast along without making an effort, these guys work incredibly hard to bring content to their underserved community. They've always supported me and I'm always glad to support them.

In The Rabbit Hole #211: Surviving A Terror Attack In The Borrowed World

In this episode, we sit down with author Franklin Horton to discuss his book series The Borrowed World. It’s a story about an everyday non-super-ninja guy who finds himself far from home and surviving a terrorist attack, and it’s crippling effects. And the book wrestles with something many of us worry about: What if SHTF while I’m traveling?

What would you do if you were hundreds of miles from home and a terrorist attack crippled the nation? If you had to walk home, could you make the arduous trek on foot?

These questions often weigh on my mind when traveling. Thoughts of how to get home and what would happen to loved ones during that period run wild through my mind.

Your thoughts turn to where and how to procure improvised survival tools, obtaining firearms, and how crazy would people be along the way. There are a lot of variables. And most of the outcomes are harsh at best.

Fortunately, Horton shared the same thoughts and wrote a whole series of prepper fiction around this idea.

Interview with Scott Hunt of Practical Preppers

I was fortunate enough to meet Scott Hunt, better known to his YouTube follows as Engineer775, not long after writing The Borrowed World. Since that time we've met many times and I consider him to be a friend. He's a solar genius and several of my friends have enlisted him to design and/or install their off-grid systems. You can find him at Practical Preppers . In this interview we speak for a few minutes at Heritage Life Skills in Waynesville, NC.

Interview with Tom Abrahams

Franklin Horton is the best-selling author of the Borrowed World, Locker Nine, Mad Max, and The Way of Dan series. He also writes thrillers, lives and works on a farm, and has the best southern twang in the history of twangs.

Prepping Facts & Fiction With Author Franklin Horton

The Survival Preppers talk about preparedness and the current political and social climate we are living in with Franklin Horton. What makes Franklin stand out is that he doesn’t just write prepper fiction; he lives the preparedness lifestyle. Although the books he writes are fiction, they are packed with preparedness and survival lessons. On top of being a great writer, Franklin has some great incites to share and has a great personality. Make sure and hit the bell icon to get reminded when we go live, you’re not going to want to miss this show.

Survivalist Prepper #174 with my good friends Dale and Lisa Goodwin

As we did the interview today it became clear that Franklin knows his stuff. While he admits, he is no “survival expert” I think he is selling himself a little short. What he writes about and how he lives his daily life is just like most of us do. We learn as much as we can, we try to become as prepared as possible, and we hope we are prepared enough when that time comes.

A lot of prepper fiction books talk about either hard-core preppers, or completely unprepared people. Your book takes a different approach. It takes the same approach that we do with prepping, we talk about prepping with and about average everyday people.

Survivalist Prepper #213 with my good friends Dale and Lisa Goodwin

Just like in our previous interview with Franklin, we didn’t want to make this podcast a book report. We decided to talk about how some of the situations in the books could apply to us, and give us an opportunity to ask ourselves “what would I do?”

If you have already read Franklins books, you will still love this podcast. And if you haven’t, this podcast will make you want to get a copy and start reading today.

Streamlight MicroStream Flashlight

I've carried one of these lights everyday for YEARS. It uses a AAA battery so I don't have to recharge it. It's tiny and bright enough to handle most situations. I was asked on a podcast one day about my single most-used piece of survival gear and this is it.
