In this final chapter of our show on preparing for a Civil War in America, RB and JD explore the dark details of what life would look like under the control of a tyrant warlord in your local area. They also explore the living conditions should a state Governor declare martial law in a city or state to qualm the riots. What would complete military control of citizens lives look like? How would life be if the military controlled your job, your school, all transportation, shopping and government.  It's a tough topic to discuss, but one that should be considered if you want to adequately prepare for a new Civil War in America.

18 - War Games: Civil War 2

What would a new Civil War look like in America if it happened today? If history teaches us anything it's those who ignore it are doomed to repeat its mistakes. With that in mind, RB and JD look back at why societies collapse into Civil Wars. It turns out the commonalities, massive debt, high unemployment, wealth pumps, over population of elites and other strong indicators are all present in modern day America.  Combined with the political violence and deep division in this country, it may be just a matter of time until a new Civil War breaks out.  But what would that look like, and more importantly, how should you prepare for a multi-year civil conflict in your backyard?

17 - Scavenging

What will your scavenging plan be when society falls apart and the trucks stop running? Will you move around the apocalyptic landscape collecting resources for your family, or will you hunker down and ride out the chaos? In this episode of the Get Ready Podcast, RB and JD discuss the advantages and disadvantages of scavenging during a grid down event. They tackle the moral dilemmas that occur when you're not sure if you're scavenging or stealing. They also discuss the sweet spot at the beginning of an SHTF event when everyone is panicking, and you're on your scavenging hunt, staying one step ahead of the masses at all time.  This episode is full of ideas and recommendations for how to secure the best resources you'll need for the end of the world as we know it.

16 - Area Study

When SHTF hits, you may not have access to all of the information on the Internet that we take for granted.  * The weather forecast * GPS and Maps * Search engines * Research websites * and so much more An Area Study is like an off-line version of the most critical information for your area. What the climate is like, natural disaster risks, crime maps, population trends, doctor contact information, gas station locations, critical infrastructure maps and anything else that can help you plan out what to do in the apocalypse when the Internet is down. Most of us are visual learners, and need an example to fully understand what a good Area Study should look like. The Get Ready team has put together 4 workbooks, each with a complete area study example that relates to specific areas: 1. The Urban Operator [https://getready.life/products/urban-operator-area-study-workbook] - planning an escape route for those who work in the city. 2. The Suburban Warlord [https://getready.life/products/get-ready-area-study-workbook] - stuck in suburbia with nowhere to retreat to. 3. The Small Town Hero [https://getready.life/products/small-town-hero-area-study-workbook] - trying to ride it out in a small town setting. 4. The Ranch King [https://getready.life/products/king-rancher-area-study-workbook] - Rural retreat located outside population centers. Pickup a workbook and follow along as RB and JD discuss the fine art of preparing the Area Study. We also want to announce our new website, GetReady.Life [https://getready.life] for those who are looking for preparedness products and training.
