Today we are joined by former breeder and dog trainer Jason McConniel for a discussion about dogs. We also have a review of the book Life After Terrorism by Bruce D. Clayton, Ph.D.
Topic 1: Dogs for the Urban Survivalist
The first episode of many to include Jason, the show’s “Redneck Resource.” Jason walks us through the things we need to consider when selecting a dog:
- What dog is right for you
- Top five dogs for urban survival
- Finding a dog breeder
- Jason’s two cents on dog rescue services
- Heath concerns to be mindful of when shopping for a dog
- Tips for finding a good veterinarian
- Cost considerations when selecting a dog
- Bug-out bags for dogs
- First-aid kits for dogs
- Food storage for dogs
- Pet First-aid classes
- Pet First Aid books.
Plans are already in the works for a second survival-dog episode, in which we will delve deeper into the topic.
Topic 2: Book Review Of Life After Terrorism
A full written review of Life After Terrorism will be released a week or two from the date of this podcast.
Highlights:
- The book is actually well written and entertaining to read.
- Life After Terrorism is grounded in reality, and provides sane advice.
- Author Bruce D. Clayton, Ph.D., stays out of political and religious discussions.
Short Comings:
- Another survival book author preaches moving to the country.
- The book was published in 2002 and is already a little dated, which unfortunately is inevitable for books dealing with current events.
