Urban Survival & the Power Grid With Jim Cobb

Today I got the chance to talk with Jim Cobb from SurvivalWeekly.com and we went over some of the stuff about his book Urban Emergency Survival Plan and his involvement with Panteao Productions.







If you aren’t sure who Jim is here is a little info about him. Jim is the content director at Survival Weekly and has also written 5 preparedness Books including…



* PREPPERS LONGTERM SURVIVAL GUIDE* COUNTDOWN TO PREPAREDNESS* THE PREPPERS COMPLETE BOOK OF DISASTER READINESS* PREPPERS HOME DEFENSE



And also Urban Emergency Survival Plan which we are going to talk a little bit about today as well as a freelance writer. He has written for Boy’s Life and Complete Survivalist Magazine. Jim has also been involved in preparedness for over 30 years now and is a licensed private investigator and has worked in the security and investigative fields for over twenty years.



Some things we discussed…



* Most of us know that the power grid is basically a temporary grid that has been pieced together over time, we talked about how vulnerable we are.* What we can do about it.* How to start out prepping and what you should be thinking about.* Personal and home security: Some ideas for now as well as in any a disaster scenario.* Most SHTF Scenarios are not complete breakdowns and the every man for himself mentality is not feasible.* We still need to follow the law, like it or not, and we need to think realistically.* We talked about when bugging out becomes a viable option and when we should just stay put.* We discussed if tools like lock picking are realistic and how ethics will play a role in a disaster situation.



Panteao Productions



Jim has also been working with Panteao Productions on the new video series they are putting together called Make Ready To Survive. Panteao is known for their tactical videos and firearms, but they have decided to add a survival series and cater to us…the Prepper/Survivalist.



I will have Fernando on the show next week, but today Jim gave us some pretty good incites about Panteao.



The Survivalist Prepper Academy & Wholesale Prices…



I mentioned the Survivalist Prepper Academy at the beginning of the podcast and the SHTFShop.com where we have a big selection of Legacy food storage products. Members of the Academy also get a huge discount on these products.



You can visit the SHTFShop here, but keep in mind that the prices listed are retail prices and members prices are lower. If your not a member yet you can become one here.
