Destiny Survival

David Nash is a new show host at the Preparedness Radio Network, where you hear DestinySurvival Radio. He’d been looking at DestinySurvival and contacted me because he thought we should interview each other for one another’s shows. So that’s what we’ve done.

David was my guest on DestinySurvival Radio yesterday, and I’ll be on his show sometime later. But before I summarize what we talked about on my show, let me tell you about him.

You’ve no doubt noticed that David’s steeped in instruction from the government. Does that raise red flags for you? Let me assure you, he’s one of the good guys. He just happened to find employment in his state suited to his interests. His father was a state park ranger, so he grew up living in the outdoors setting provided by state parks.

David’s one of the nicest people to talk to, and he’s a prepper, too, like you and me. It’s not just theory and rhetoric for him because he’s into quite an array of prepping activities in his everyday home life. He gardens in raised beds, keeps bees, raises rabbits and chickens, and, of course, shoots.

The Shepherd School started with an emphasis on firearms instruction, but David says it’s branching out into other instructional areas. His belief is that if more of us are prepared, the more secure each of us is.

Readingabout something is one thing. Doing it is another. David says he’s learned a lot by doing. Tasks he thought were impossible aren’t so difficult once they’re started. You can view videos demonstrating David’s prepping endeavors on his YouTube channel.

We talked about his book Understanding the Use of Handguns for Self-Defense, which came out a couple of years ago. Amazon describes it as “A priceless education for new handgun owners. An important refresher for experienced carriers.”

I’ve made it a DestinySurvival Amazon Pick. It’s highly rated. Reviewers say it’s easy to understand and is good for women shooters. It covers…

After hearing the same questions over and over, David decided to write his book as a companion to classes he teaches. It provides good preparation for beginners.

He talks sensibly about how to choose a handgun and caliber that’s right for you. And he teaches balance. Firearms are important, but they should be one piece of your preparedness puzzle.

He believes there should be greater understanding between preppers and government officials. While the government doesn’t always show consistency in what they say about prepping and preppers, according to David, several emergency management workers are preppers.

Being a new parent sheds a new light on prepping for David. We talked about the parallels between parenting and prepping. Both offer chances to learn and grow.

David and I agree on the need to be flexible and adaptable. We’re both generalists with interests in a number of things.
