Building a Home Gym Episode 99

Building a Home Gym

This week Mike and I talk about the building of out out doors home gym. The episode mostly revolves around fitness and nutrition. We talk about pricing options and places to find used equipment. We also talk about some DIY options. Like filling 5 gallon buckets with concrete.

I talk about how I bought my Olympic Bar off Ebay for a decent price. Later I found Play it again sports had an Olympic Bar and 300#s of weight for $157. I would have prefered to get that.

Craigslist is another great resource. I’ve been watching craigslist for a few weeks and see several great deals pop up. You have to have the cash and act pretty fast though. The good deals don’t last long.

I think we mention me going to a scrap yard. Weights are sold for scrap metal sometimes so you can find them for really cheap. The only ones I found recently were 1 inch standard weights of all low weights. Checking regularly might get you some decent weights.

With episode 100 coming up get your voice mails in to me soon. If you want to be heard on the show call (615) 657-9104 and tell me what you’ve been doing with Survival, prepping and fitness. All calls will get on the show. Don’t put off we only have a few more weeks. Thanks for all the support and sticking with us through the first 100 episodes.

Food Storage Tips For Space Challenged Preppers

Finding room for survival supplies is one of the most common problems preppers face. If you’re one of the few lucky ones with a cellar or basement, you have plenty of room at the appropriate temperature. But for the vast majority that do not live in bigger houses, storage of survival supplies is a major issue. People who live in condos, apartments, mobile homes, etc. are usually aching for closet space and normal pantry, so emergency water and food can become really hard to store.

However, like they say, where there’s a will, there’s a way; and with a little bit of creativity it may not be impossible to make some space for survival supplies. Here are a few tips you can use to create some extra space in your home:

Purge Happening For Real

Today’s post will be a short one. I’m exhausted after recording back to back podcasts last night. Today’s even busier and I’m writing this on my phone. I just wanted to open a discussion on this purge idea going around on social media. I first saw about this on Facebook about purge Louisville. The details on it were limited. I’m still not sure what’s real and what’s hoax. It’s definitely something to keep an eye on though. So let’s get to it.

52 Prepper Projects Review

I am both the worst reviewer and friend in history. My friend David Nash released 52 Prepper Projects in November. I pre ordered and have had it since then. Now it’s darn near August when I’m writing this review. Sorry Dave, November was actually a rough month for me. The book came in during a terrible break up. I’m better now and it’s time I talked about 52 Prepper Projects. I’ll knock off the belly aching and get to it.
