Surviving One Year in Hell: Interview With Selco

In this podcast from a few years ago, I had the chance to pick Selco’s brain about bartering, food, water, looting, rioting, and a number of other issues he experienced during a true SHTF situation.
Those of you who know about Selco of SHTFSchool already know this is a must listen to episode. For those of you who don’t, you are in for a treat. We all do our best to think about all the different aspects of preparing for a large scale SHTF event, and hearing from someone who has actually been through it can help us do that.
Imagine for a second that our country is in deep financial and political crisis, and several states are contemplating seceding from the union. Because of this, the national government decides to cut off all supply lines, electricity, and critical infrastructure until your state comes to it’s senses.
You may be thinking that something like this happening here in the United States is highly unlikely, but something very similar to this scenario happened a little over 150 years ago… It was called the Civil War. While a “Civil War” in the typical sense is highly unlikely, there are many scenarios that would have the same consequences.

Wholeheartedly agree - experience trumps theoretical every time.

Thanks again Dale. I truly like this one mainly because people don’t realize what it is like living overseas. Mind you I have at least 25 years under my belt, but not living to the extent of during war time. War time was going on, just not in the countries I had lived in. When other countries hate you just because your an American and you are just trying to do a job over there. It isn’t fun when you see a mob of people coming down the street in protest and you are on vacation. For the safety of you child and yourself you duck into a coffee shop and try to blend in. It is not a good feeling knowing that at any moment that mob can turn on you or your child and there is really nothing you can do. Because you might turn it into an international incident. Which is bs, but that is the kind of stuff we military members have to put up with even in non wartime countries.
