Peace SoulVivors! Welcome to a snippet of SoulVival Life. Today, I go solo-dolo to talk about what's on my mind. I've been heavy on the Black vanlife tip. Find out the vanlifers I've been binging on lately. I also need some help with my brothas! Where dey at? I need some help with this. I've noticed that the sistahs role deep when it comes to kayaking, camping, hiking, farming and more...but the men seem to be MIA and I'd like to know why that is. I'd love to hear your thoughts on why brothas don't participate as much as the women and how I can fix it. Follow Linktree to find options for listeing to SoulVival Life the podcast. https://linktr.ee/soulvivallife PEACE!!!!

On this episode I am sowing the seeds of love with Travis Burrell the founder and visionary of Stronger Roots. Being single and falling further in love with the world of agriculture, Mr Cupid set out to not only find himself a garden mate but also help others who might be seeking the same thing. But good intentions are always met with opposition, sometimes intentionally and unintentionally. Grab your tea, water or wine and sit back while Travis takes us on the rollercoaster of finding love...in the garden.

On today's show, my guest are the dynamic women of Black Bottom Gun Club and Malcolm Little Gun Club (the Detroit and Lansing NAAGA chapters). But make no mistake, these women are more than just members. They are range safety officers, certified instructors and organizers of the monthly "Ladies Range Day", which allows for beginners to badd ass shooters to commune in sistership/friendship and continue to build skills together. We chat about our first experiences with guns, how Black women with firearms are viewed, and why it's important as Black women to write our own narratives in this space. We also uplift how wonderful and important the support from the men of the club has been. It is truly a firearm family affair! You can find this episode on Apple, Spotify, iHeart, iTunes, and most podcast streaming platforms. So sit back and enjoy, as I chat with Lavette, Krystle, Monica and Yessica.

SoulVivors! we wanna hear all about your most memorable campouts or let us know what you like best about camping.

We've been talking about land acquisition for our SoulVival community for a while now. It's always a topic of conversation whenever we get together. From grand schemes to simple living, our ultimate goal is to get our hands on nice piece of land. We think creatively and constructively of what the land looks like, good and bad. We won't stop until we get some land of our own!

Today's episode we use facebook live to kick it with our SoulVivors about this whole pandemic we are in the midst of. We ask members "How prepared were you for this current emergency situation?", "At what point, if at all, did your concerns elevate to HIGH ALERT?" and "What would you do differently with regards to prepping?". Tune in as we navigate through this situation as a tribe of beginner, intermediate and confident preppers.  Hit our IG up @soulvivallife or contact us at www.soulvivallife.com and leave a message to let us know what your thoughts are. Peace and wellness to all! 

Ant from Cleveland shares his experiences with prepping, how he got to where he is and where this prep life is taking him. We talk the importance of prepping and why planting the seeds for others is important, even if they aren't ready to receive it.

Peace! In this episode we review the Prepper's Will article, that list out the types of people that every group should have. Whether you are the leader, the soldier or the handy person. Let's take a brief dive in to all the types of people you will want in a healthy survival group. You can find the Prepper's Will article at https://prepperswill.com/types-people-need-survival-group/.

In this mini, bonus episode we talk about what you can expect for future episodes from the podcast. We also share the very first contest! We are looking for a killer anthem for SoulVival Life and there is one person who I personally am dying to see create it. Time to kick that manifestation in high frequency gear! Listeners need to submit their best guess on who they think that artist is by sending a message via info@soulvivallife.com or via Instagram DMs for @soulvivallife.

In this episode we talk about stockpiling food, the SoulVival Life Prepped Up Challenge and prepping with a purpose.

There are levels to prepping and there seems to be a lot of different types of preppers or reasoning for prepping. On this episode we go through as many prepper archetypes as we can. From the bougie prepper to the hood prepper. We talk briefly about Idlewild Michigan's historic Black Eden resort and what content push out will look like. Sit back for an unexpected long episode and be patient as I learn my way around this thing.

Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are SoulVival Life a podcast dedicated to Black self sufficiency through knowledge and skills in the outdoors, prepping, survival and homesteading. Get to know us in this trailer episode!
