On this episode of the Survival Medicine Hour, you'll hear from Scott Hunt of Practical Preppers, Charley Hogwood of the Survival Group Handbook, Tim French of Americans Networking to Survive (A.N.T.S.), Rick Johnson of NC Oathkeepers, and Josh Gore of North Star Tactical. Special thanks to Survivor Jane and Rick Austin for putting on a great event.
