Alaskan Outlaw

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am Mark Weisman, the Alaska Outlaw and I'll be your host in a journey of understanding, encouragement, and hopefully enlightenment. This week we have teamed up with another great resource to provide a different perspective. Today I have the honor of introducing John Davis.

In this episode the outlaws tackle the subject of fear and its mitigation. Living a life in fear is really not a life, but with a little preparation we have the opportunity to eradicate most of our fears.

In this episode the Outlaws strip away all the hype and discuss the bare bones necessity of paying attention to the world around you. Whether you are mobile in/on a vehicle, or walking through a mall area, having your wits about you gives you a much better chance against the many potential threats within our dynamic zones. More than just putting down your phone, but actually assessing the world around us.

In this episode of the podcast, the Alaskan Outlaws discuss the pros and cons of including technology in our preps, to include some other critical thinking about the proper care and understanding with storing the technology. The outlaws also discuss our need to control our dependency on modern technology by peeling back the decades of discovery to utilize those tools to eliminate the need of electricity.

In this episode we revisited the outside and inside perimeters within our defensive strategies for our homes. We looked at potential threats to the different levels of this perimeter, and hopefully gave some ideas as to how we are going to fix them. We also talked about making sure everyone within your group understands what the perimeter is, and how to use it.

In this episode the Alaskan Outlaws tackle the necessary skillset of situational awareness. Being able to be aware of situations before the arise improves our chances of successful survival by almost half. The group talks about the needs to be aware of our surroundings, even in highly populated areas. Whether we are moving in a vehicle, or traveling by foot, being aware of suspicious situations before they enlarge is a big key to winning. However, there remains a balance between being hypervigilant and being over-zealous, knowing that threshold is really what makes us successful in our bids to remain safe and secure.

In this episode the team discusses the differences between living in a single residence home, versus that of multiple families, or apartment/condos type of arrangements. We'll discuss some additional topics that need to be considered when sharing a limited pool of resources among a certain number of apartments, like power or water. We'll broach the subject about the potential of someone breaking in via the walls, ceilings, or even floors and how to protect against it. The team will tackle these thoughts from a cataclysmic event through the recovery stage. So, lend us your ear and we will drop the message on you about getting and staying safe.

In this episode the Outlaw tackles the idea of taking some of the responsibility of raising the future generations back from other local authorities, whether that be the police or teachers, or even judges. As part of our society we have a responsibility to assisting in a future generation who will continue the growth of human existence in a positive way. The trickle effects to our children's behaviors within society are long reaching and can be detrimental to both them, and the society in which they call home.

In this podcast the Alaska Outlaw addresses the nuclear football of the political hot button of gun control. The Outlaw discusses safety measures that we should all be using regarding the use of firearms within our defense strategies while reminding us that responsible gun ownership means maintaining an aura of safety around and with firearms within the home. During our discussion he opens the Pandora's box of the polarity caused by this topic by identifying some common sense gun safety items. Join us for this adventure in some critical thinking around gun safety and laws.

In this episode we discuss how preparedness may minimize or eliminate the need to survive. In addition we talk about taking survival for granted in our every day lives.

In this episode Murphy discusses being safe while out and about throughout this great land of ours. Whether we are traveling to the grocery store, or to a foreign nation.

In this episode, Murphy interviews Dr. Mark Weisman about his book "Turn to Final" which offers some critical thinking into finding our spirituality and ussing that to better our mental condition to face the threats during and after a natural or man-made disaster.

In this episode we talk about the world's dependency on technology and hopefully incite some critical thinking about going "ol skool" to ensure our successful survival using non-technological gadgets to increase our success odds.

In this episode we continue our fourth season with a discussion about some critical thinking for a defensive strategy.

In this episode the Alaskan Outlaw talks about the considerations we should keep in mind when considering evacuation from our home.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am Mark Weisman, the Alaska Outlaw and I'll be your host in a journey of understanding, encouragement, and hopefully enlightenment. This week we have teamed up with another great resource to provide a different perspective. It is my honor to introduce:Luke Taylor

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am Mark Weisman, the Alaska Outlaw and today I'd like to talk about understanding about adrenaline, and its effects on our thought processes during, and after a disaster response.

In this episode we talk about being part of a community, our commitment, in addition to understanding how others may view the idea of society.

Season 3, Episode 20Each year in the United States over 358,000 house fires require assistance from the local fire department, and that doesn't even count the times some dinner may have gotten a little out of hand but was contained. In most of the deaths associated with home fires, faulty or missing smoke detectors are the blame for that one. However, today I'd like to talk about fire safety, both inside and outside, because one is no more likely than the other.

In this episode we have a candid conversation with Wayne Mulder, a long-time police officer in Florida.

Podcast Season 3 episode 18Today I'd like to spend some time talking about many different aspects of basic security protocols that could be used during that sacred evening of sugar overload. Most of us don't think about security on the night of fun, however, it's also the most opportunistic.

Special Episode: Being prepared for an earthquake. Some common sense tricks and tips to help us recover from one of nature's most destructive events.

Today I'd like to talk about the stereotypes we hear about all the time about “those guys” who wear cammies, don't talk much and are as backwater as they come. This can be no further from the truth, as a matter-of-fact, many high tech gadgetry is associated with survival as disaster preparedness. Those out there who decide to listen to the naysayers of the world, wind up in a really bad place, when they really don't. I'd like to clear up some misconceptions about being prepared.

Season 3 Episode 15Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am Mark Weisman, the Alaska Outlaw and I'll be your host in a journey of understanding, encouragement, and hopefully enlightenment. This week we have teamed up with another great resource to provide a different perspective. Today I have the honor of introducing Andy Murphy

Today I want to talk about maintaining the gains we've made by gathering all our resources, skills, and knowledge about survival. We need to constantly test our skills to ensure we don't get too rusty, in addition to maintaining our resources reserved for survival needs.

Today I have the honor of introducing:Audrey Gray is an Emergency Programs Manager for the Municipality of Anchorage Office of Emergency Management.  She grew up in Wyoming and later attended Colorado State University where she earned her B.S. in Microbiology.  She is a former Peace Corps Volunteer and has worked for the Casper-Natrona County Health Department (Casper, WY) as an Environmental Health Specialist and the Public Health Preparedness Manager for 16 years.  

In an earlier episode of “Security Management” magazine they broached the topic of theft during, and immediately following a large scale natural disaster. On many shows here at the Chaotic Navigator we have discussed the “opportunistic criminals” that have typically lurked in the shadows of these larger scale events (do you remember the BLM protests that turned into riots). These types of incidents are driven by the criminal elements among us to distract us from their petty theft.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am Murphy Ganz, the Alaska Outlaw and today I'd like to talk about National Preparedness Awareness Month!! Each year, the crazy-good folks at ready.gov highlight a month dedicated to arming the citizens with the knowledge to keep themselves healthy and safe during natural disasters.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am Murphy Ganz, the Alaska Outlaw and today I'd like to talk about ensuring our team is safe and secure immediately following a large-scale disaster. Having a planned rendezvous location that everyone in the team is familiar with and has a plan in place to get there.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am Murphy Ganz, the Alaska Outlaw and today I'd like to talk about some basic ideas about land navigation. For all you second lieutenants out there, sir/ma'am, pay attention. For those of you who struggle with navigation, here is some basic info.

Every day we receive emails and snail mail about how life will be so much better when zombies are free to decimate the less prepared, or weaker of those among us. I started to really think about what life in this world would be like when the zombie apocalypse was over.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am Murphy Ganz, the Alaska Outlaw and today I'd like to talk about those first couple of days following a natural disaster. I want to talk about the matrix we used, but just as importantly, I want to call out those things we need to know that first couple of hours after the disaster strikes.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am Murphy Ganz, the Alaska Outlaw and today I'd like to cut out the bullshit that flies around the internet about being scared, or I love hearing the idiots who tell me they are taking my stuff when disaster strikes. I just tell them “yea, good luck with that plan”.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am Murphy Ganz, the Alaska Outlaw and today I'd like to vent a little about the many different political influences we have within our lives. Whether it be the city council reducing the effectiveness of the local police department, or emergency medical services, or the national governmental policies about recreational drug use and all the other impacts these have on our lives.

We've talked about a lot of different topics, so I'd like to slow down and start to weave a quilt of necessary skills and resources to get us, and our family out safely.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am Murphy Ganz, the Alaska Outlaw and today I'd like to respond to a flood of emails we've gotten over the year, while discussing some ideas about who is ultimately responsible for your safety, as well as the safety of your family members.

I remember that most of us have some furry family members that need to be included in our preps, just as much, if not more than our two legged family members. Today I'd like to include our pets in our preparedness discussions.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am Murphy Ganz, the Alaska Outlaw and today I would like to speak to those who have just figured out they need to be prepared, but may be confused as to how to start. Today, I'd like to take a minute to discuss some basic necessities, some of them are FREE!! That's right boys and girls, I said free!

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am Murphy Ganz, the Alaska Outlaw and today I would like to talk about knowing your neighbors. Just like we've witnessed internationally, alliances bind people together in times of troubles, which is why it should be a critical component to your prep to get to know your neighbors. Like we are currently seeing in Eastern Europe, Poland is a part of an alliance that will engage many different countries if it's drawn into the war against Ukraine.

In this episode Murphy sits down with Betsey Kulakowski and discusses being prepared in the real world.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am the Alaska Outlaw and today I would like to discuss about the fifth and final in a series of our “fab five” by discussing the protective equipment. While some of it we already covered in the temperature control, back in episode two, this week I want to do a deeper dive on avoiding unnecessary risks.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am the Alaska Outlaw and today I would like to discuss about the fourth in a series of our “fab five” by discussing the three weeks without food. Not only concerning ourselves with having food, but having the right food stores to sustain us throughout a disaster. When considering the nutrition necessary to survive, we need to account for those among our teams who may have special needs.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am the Alaska Outlaw and today I would like to discuss about the third in a series of our “fab five” by discussing the three days without water. In addition, we need to consider the acquisition of usable water for the multiple uses it's going to have keeping us alive.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am the Alaska Outlaw and today I would like to discuss about the second in a series of our “fab five” by discussing the control of temperature we expose our bodies to during a disaster. As we may recall, the “fab five” is based on the unwritten “rule of three” that most in the survival/preparedness arena have established as the needs for successful survival. Today, I want to continue this series by talking about having some boundaries to the temperature we expose ourselves to, and more specifically combining exposures to amplify the effect.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am the Alaska Outlaw and today I would like to discuss about the first in a series of our “fab five” by talking to the air we breathe. As we may recall, the “fab five” is based on the unwritten “rule of three” that most in the survival/preparedness arena have established as the needs for successful survival. Today, I want to open this series by talking about being without clean air for longer than three minutes.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am the Alaska Outlaw and today I would like to discuss the necessity of researching the information we receive. How can we apply filtering, especially if it's information we are going to be passing on to others. Given that many of the threats facing us average citizens today are based in a framework of time relativity.

Regardless of whether you're protecting a dad-bod, bad-bod, or all those bods that make up the human race, you want to make sure that you are keeping it safe. We've talked before about avoiding unnecessary risks, and we're going to look at that today. In addition, during the “fab five”, do y'all remember that? Awww YEAH!! The fab five had that fifth item added to the original rule of three that made up the other items within the list. We need to keep ourselves safe and healthy, particularly during that time of a disaster. Its the little things that are going to bite us in the ass.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am the Alaska Outlaw and today I would like to discuss the potential need that we may experience where we have to extricate ourselves or a loved one from a collapse of a home or commercial location. In addition, I want to discuss ideas about search operations for locating lost persons.

Each week we look at a different facet of what being prepared looks like in the real world of everyday. It is absolutely awesome to be back with you guys here for another adventure of discovery and obtaining the super power of common sense. Today I want to put a new lens on the old eyeballs and look at the topics with a different perspective. Today, I want us to spend a little time going over being a little more assertive in our defensive planning. So, like we do, we're going to break it down into three segments.Segment 1 - Perimeter protections, and extending the perimeter safely.Segment 2 - Ensuring the whole choir is on the same page of music.Segment 3 - The application and understand of “Deadly Force”.

Alrighty then, we're back for another exciting adventure here on the Chaotic Navigator podcast. I am the Alaska Outlaw and today I would like to express my opinion as to a potential exercise in the dismantling of this experiment we call the United States. Explaining the tenuous position our country finds itself in these modern times.
