The Practical Prepper - A podcast by National Self-Reliance Initiative

You're lost and scared. All you wanted was a few hours with Mother Nature and now you're going to get the whole night. Your wondering how this happened and have plenty of time to play it back now.  This podcast is about surviving a walk in the woods. Last year of the ~100 people that the National Park Service had to find, 95% of them were day hikers in over their head and unprepared. We may not all be thru-hikers, but I bet most of us will take the family or friends for a walk in the woods.  Although I consider myself a seasoned camper with over 450 nights of camping under my belt in an array of temperatures and terranes, I thought I would kick it up a notch and invite my friend Ret. MSgt Ken Roberts who have summitted 10k peaks on three continents. As well he should as an Army Mountain Ranger and Green Beret. From the Grand Canyon to Mount Everest, this episode has a little for everyone.
