Tonight, Rhonda and I, are the guests on the show, and Buddy will be interviewing us about the homestead. It’s only been two years in the making, but progress is happening, and things are getting done. We’ll talk about the challenges and successes as well as the mistakes made, big fails, and a few regrets. From one acre to a hundred acres, it’s all the same… from conception to ownership, homesteading is a big endeavor. So tonight, we hope to enlighten you with our process and help spark your interest to get you moving in the right direction towards homesteading.

Let’s talk about that.

Tonight, we have Special Guest Oklahoma State Representative Jay Steagall about the importance of Radio Comms during an SHTF Grid-Down Situation. Now to be clear we won’t be nerding out or go into the weeds with tech talk, inner workings, or specs on this episode, just an easy listening and entertaining discussion on the roles these types of radios serve when communication with the outside world goes offline.

That time will come… it always has, and it always will, when the lights go out… when the hum of the air conditioner dies… when your phone becomes a paperweight… in that moment, the silence, will be deafening. Some people will panic at that exact moment. But most others will work it out in their head… give it 30 mins, maybe an hour… they’ll have it back up. As if we knew who “They” really were. But when that 24hr mark arrives and there’s still no power, no phone, no creature comforts, that’s when most of the rest of us start to panic, including me. The difference is, that panic, for me, is my trigger. It’s my brain coming to terms with reality and switching my thought process to survival. Cuz I’m already prepped… the readiness box is checked. Now it comes down to what I know and what I’ve practiced… It’s Go Time. It’s pure survival, starting now.

You’ve got all the preps… or do you? Let’s see. Shelter, Water, Food, Meds, First Aid, All the Toilet Paper you could rip off the shelves the last time someone cried wolf, and Defense… Hell! Offense as well.

And don’t forget that you have your support team… Family, Friends, Neighbors, Your Network… Do you? Are you sure there’s “There” there? I mean… Are they walking distance away, maybe next door? Chances are no, there not. Maybe down the road a bit. Across town… across the county, or state..? Maybe even across country.

In a grid-down world, information is survival. The ability to call for help, to gather intel, to connect with your team — that’s not a luxury. That’s your lifeline. Cell towers, down. The internet, down. Satelites, can’t be reached. What’s left? Voices and signals, of the prepared, that will be carried throughout the airwaves.

Today, we’re talking about radios. The heartbeat of survival communication. Shortwave, HAM, Walkies big rigs, small rigs, even the Frankenstein kits pieced together with good old fashioned Redneck Engineering. It doesn’t really matter what you’re running. What’s important… is, how important, this Prep is, in your kit.

Tonight, we’re talking about Coastal living. For many, it’s the dream—warm breezes, ocean views, sand between your toes. But for those of us who walk the path of preparedness, we know better. That dream can turn into a nightmare in a matter of minutes. Because behind every beachfront paradise, there’s a ticking time bomb. Tsunamis, hurricanes, storm surges, liquefaction, floods, saltwater intrusion… this is Mother Nature, untamed.

One moment you’re enjoying the sunrise, the next, you’re running for your life with nothing but the clothes you’re wearing. It’s not a matter of If… It’s a matter of When.

You want to live by the sea? Fine. Great. What a way to live. But know this. The ocean never negotiates. It doesn’t care about your insurance policy, your beachfront view, or your naïve sense of permanence. It’s an ever-changing volatile environment, and when it decides to move, it destroys.

And it’s not just tsunamis born from distant quakes. Coastal dwellers live under the constant threat of rising seas, crumbling cliffs, superstorms, and regional disasters tailor-made to rip your life wide open, in as little as a heartbeat.

So, ask yourself: Are you really prepared? Or are you just “Playing Survivalist in Paradise?

Let’s talk about that…
