E222: The Story of a Daughter’s Survival in a Harsh World

In this episode, We sit down with author CA Rudolph to discuss his book series What’s Left of My World, his writing process, and survival lessons for Dads.

What would it take to raise a strong female prepper? Two out of three hosts of ITRH struggle with this. The third just hasn’t made any little preppers yet. So this is an important question for us, as of late.

But this also speaks to a big piece of our community who tend to be under-represented. Women are a minority in prepper circles.

Perhaps men are wired to worry more about proactive survival measures. Maybe most of the personalities and information available just doesn’t speak to them. Yet, figuring this out and including more women in preparedness is very important.

Whatever the reasons, the first step is for Dad’s and Mom’s to take an active role in raising female preppers. So maybe more prepper fiction with strong female prepper character is a way to do something about this. And CA Rudolph’s part in this is What’s Left of My World. So let’s find out more about…
