Interview with Doc Bones & Nurse Amy – Doom & Bloom’s Survival Medicine Hour

October 5, 2015Gun Safety, Interview, Parental Prepping, Philosophy, Prepping Children, Prepping KidsKermit Jones, Jr.

If you’ve picked up a Survival magazine, heard a podcast, or been to a Prepper/Self-Reliance Expo of late, you’ve no doubt run across articles and information on Survival Medicine from “Doc Bones & Nurse Amy” of DoomAndBloom.net. I had the privilege of being interviewed by them during their Survival Medicine Hour this past week.

Talk about an awesome time! With a show designed to equip everyone from soccer-moms to hardcore preppers, we covered a lot of ground as we discussed “parental prepping” and each Prepper Book, in turn.

Key Point: You don’t have to scare your kids to prepare!

Interview with Dr. Prepper – James Talmage Stevens

October 5, 2015Interview, Philosophy, Prepping Children, Prepping Kids, PromotionalKermit Jones, Jr.

A fabulous discussion on “Doctor Prepper’s Critical Preparedness Radio (CPR) Talk Show” James Talmage Stevens, aka, “Dr. Prepper” is author of the #1 best-selling “Making the Best of Basics” and has sold more than 800,000 copies!

Targeted at ordinary people, his weekly broadcast – CPR – could save a life! My segment starts right at 34 minutes and goes for about an hour. I think one of my favorite discussion points was surrounding ourselves, not necessarily “like-minded” people, but rather “like-spirited.” We also discussed self-sufficiency vs. community building, and the idea of not having to go super-hardcore when it comes to prepping!

Check it out when you get a chance, and remember that Dr. Prepper is on the air every Friday evening!

Disaster Survival Network – Interview by James

September 22, 2015General, Interview, Parental Prepping, Prepper Pete, Prepping Children, Prepping KidsKermit Jones, Jr.

I just ha DSN s the honor and pleasure of an interview by James of Disaster Survival Network! If you want to hear about some background, my “why moment” for Prepper Pete, and a great discussion on teaching children all about Prepping… tune in for a bit!

As James echoes, “the importance of teaching our children from a young age about Prepping can not be stressed enough. If we teach our children from a young age it becomes a lifestyle for them and is nothing ‘strange’ or new.”

Destiny Survival Radio – Interview

April 14, 2015Interview, Philosophy, Prepper Pete, Prepping Children, Prepping KidsKermit Jones, Jr.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have quite a few radio interviews over the past few years. However, few of those interviewers take the time to write out detailed outlines of our time together, so I appreciate the fact that John Wesley Smith at DestinySurvival Radio has done just that!

“Ants and squirrels. Would you believe they have something to teach children about preparedness? Kermit Jones, Jr., knows about that because he’s the author of the Prepper Pete series of books for children. This week DestinySurvival Radio revisits Prepper Pete and Friends.”

John then goes on to outline our discussion, which means you can easily check it out before (or while) you listen!

At Odds Radio Show Interview

April 10, 2015Gun Safety, Interview, Prepper Pete, Prepping Children, Prepping Kidsgunsafety, kidsprepping, prepping, preppingwithkidsKermit Jones, Jr.

Had the awesome opportunity to join Nate and Brian of “At Odds: A Political Talkshow.”

“Forget what you learned in school, never mind what your parents told you, disregard what your friends say. From now onthe only people you need to listen to are these guys. Political talk from two wise-guys Brian and Nate…”

That description about sums it up! Being a guest speaker is always fun, and these two definitely had some great discussion questions and points to make. We talked about the Prepper Pete series – past, present, and future.

Check out their website, leave a comment, like them on Facebook, and be sure to listen to the show! Our segment starts at about 34:24 and goes for a good twenty minutes to pretty much finish out the show.

Interview & Review – Backdoor Survival

March 12, 2015Gun Safety, Interview, Prepper PeteKermit Jones, Jr.

Gaye Levy over at Backdoor Survival has just finished out another awesome BDS Book Festival! We missed announcing the 12 Days review, but there’s still four days until completion with a FREE COPY of Prepper Pete’s Gun of Son being given away.

Swing over and check out the interview, sign up for the giveaway, and leave a comments on your thoughts about Children and Gun Safety! A few key excerpts:

“Gun safety is a huge issue not only for adults, but for children as well. The problem, as I see it, is that irresponsible gun use is plastered all over television and in video games. If you think that kids don’t soak that up, then you are living on another planet!

In my view, gun safety can never be overemphasized. Prepper Pete’s Gun of a Son: A Gun Safety Book for Kids will allow a parent or other adult to introduce the topic of gun safety in a manner that is family-friendly and dare I say it? Interesting and fun. The book promotes gun safety basics and emphasizes that weapons should not be feared but respected and handled carefully like any other tool. Heck, I know plenty of adults, myself included, that need that reinforcement.

Prepper Pete will allow adults to open up a gun safety conversation with children that is both fun and interesting. I cannot over-recommend this book!”

Thanks, Gaye!

USA Prepares Interview – 28Feb2014

March 1, 2014Gun Safety, Interview, Prepping Children, Prepping KidsKermit Jones, Jr.

Had a phenomenal interview with Vincent Finelli of USAPrepares.com yesterday, and I think it’s safe to say we “struck a chord” in our discussion of gun safety, and specifically “Children & Guns!”

Aside from being broadcast on nearly a dozen stations worldwide, we ended up ranking #3 out of nearly 100 (Glenn Beck and Laura Ingraham were 1&2)!

Had a great time talking about age appropriateness, general thoughts and discussion on safety, and of course, “Prepper Pete’s Gun of Son: A Gun Safety Book for Kids” which is due out later this month.

Interview at DestinySurvival.com

February 28, 2014Interview, Prepper Pete, Review, UncategorizedKermit Jones, Jr.

“Could you use a little help introducing your children or grandchildren to prepping?

It’s Prepper Pete to the rescue!

Who Is Prepper Pete, Anyway?

Prepper Pete is the creation of Kermit Jones, Jr., who has written fun and colorful books aimed at introducing young children to preparedness. As the book cover shows, Prepper Pete is an ant. You remember the little story about the ant and the grasshopper and how the ant was busy preparing to survive winter. Then there are Scripture verses from Proverbs chapter 6 urging us to look to the ant as a positive example.

So who is Kermit Jones, Jr.?

He was my guest on this week’s DestinySurvival Radio. I’ll let him tell you more in his own words from bio info he gave me.

I was surprised during our conversation to find he came to preparedness through a different route than his military background. It so happens that his life’s experiences have provided stepping stones for prepping.
