In this episode of Grid Down Comms Up on the Prepping Academy, Patrick looks at tactical and team communications and strategic communications in a disaster. Team communications are a simple concept, but become surprisingly complex when users enter the equation. Frequency coordination and interference are a reality of a large-scale disaster scene. We discuss how that impacts operations and how we can avoid some of those issues. Strategic communication is frequently overlooked by the prepping and survival community, usually due to the lone wolf mentality. In a disaster, you aren't going to be the lone wolf; you may even be the voice of your community. Having the skills and tools to quickly and effectively relay the needs of those around you is critical to helping those who are trying to help you. In this episode, we look at some details and facts of communications to support the logistical log train to keep your community going in a disaster.   Join PrepperNet.Net - https://www.preppernet.net  PrepperNet is an organization of like-minded individuals who believe in personal responsibility, individual freedoms and preparing for disasters of all origins.

Patrick takes the Prepping Academy helm once again with a new episode of Grid Down Comms Up. In breaking world news massive power outages in in Spain impact communications infrastructure sending some residents looking for portable radios to receive information. This episode looks at commercially available information sources that have been hardened by FEMA to survive disasters, EMP's and national blackouts too. Do you know where to turn to if internet and cell service stops? What information should you have available before the grid goes down?

On this episode of The Prepping Academy, Patrick picks up with a Grid Down Comms Up episode. We begin with a look at the battle rhythm in the first seventy-two hours of the disaster and what that looked like for the people on the outside, who were providing communications support and processing information for those with limited access to reliable information. Next, we look at the fog of war, how that impacted operations from day zero, and how it impacted those in the disaster area, followed by a look at the communications picture inside eastern TN and western NC.   We wrap up with a what-if discussion about how the picture would have looked very different and been much more complex had the Mt Michell amateur radio repeater not been in the picture. This episode illustrates Patick's quote, "Without communication, you are just another person wondering what just happened."  Remember, when the grid goes down, you are on your own, and what you don't know can kill you.

In this insightful episode of PrepperNet's podcast, Patrick steps in as the guest host for Forrest Garvin, bringing a fresh perspective and leading an in-depth discussion on surviving the intense Hurricane Helene while at Prepper Camp in the mountainous region of Saluda, North Carolina. Patrick is joined by three remarkable guests: Beth G., Pistol Pete, and Forrest Garvin himself, each of whom played a vital role in the emergency response efforts that unfolded during and after the hurricane. The episode dives into the invaluable lessons learned from Hurricane Helene and examines the profound impact of what they call the “refied effect” on the community, particularly in areas like Spruce Pine and the Avery County Airport. Through personal stories and candid insights, the guests discuss their respective roles and experiences throughout this challenging time. Beth, a dedicated volunteer stationed at the Avery County Airport, shares her experiences managing logistics during the storm. Her account sheds light on the intricate work required to keep supplies flowing to areas in need and the tireless dedication of volunteers who worked around the clock to maintain some semblance of order in chaotic conditions. She details the logistical hurdles she faced and the teamwork that was essential to keeping operations running smoothly. Forrest Garvin, meanwhile, opens up about the immense responsibilities he shouldered as he coordinated supply lines, organized search and rescue teams, and oversaw a dedicated network of volunteers. With a strong background in preparedness and crisis response, Garvin explains how his training and experience helped him manage this large-scale effort under significant pressure. His firsthand insights offer valuable takeaways on leadership, coordination, and resilience in the face of natural disasters. Pistol Pete brings his unique perspective to the discussion, reflecting on the need for effective communication, quick decision-making, and the importance of having a prepared community. Together, they analyze how the community's preparedness played a critical role in minimizing damage and supporting each other. Throughout the episode, Patrick guides the conversation to extract actionable lessons and thoughtful reflections, all of which contribute to a deeper understanding of how to prepare for and survive similar scenarios. This episode is an essential listen for anyone interested in emergency preparedness, offering a real-life case study in the power of community, the importance of individual roles, and the collective effort needed to overcome nature's toughest challenges.

Welcome to the "MAY HAM" episode of the Prepping Academy Podcast! In this episode, we delve into the three communication paths that PrepperNet advocates to help people achieve greater preparedness. These paths are essential for staying connected during emergencies and disasters: 1. Shortwave & SDR with Digital & Voice (Receive-Only): Shortwave radio and Software-Defined Radios (SDRs) are crucial for receiving information over long distances. We explore how to leverage these technologies effectively. 2. Technician License - Handheld or Mobile (Local Only): Getting a Technician License opens up the world of local communication using handheld or mobile radios. We discuss the importance of this license and how to get started. 3. HF Digital, QRP, JS8Call, FLDigi, WinLink: High-Frequency (HF) digital modes like JS8Call, FLDigi, and WinLink, combined with QRP (low power) operations, provide robust communication options. We share insights into using these tools effectively. Join us at PrepperNet.Net and enroll in our Ham Academy to learn more about these communication paths and enhance your preparedness toolkit.
