The Survivalist Podcast

Survival is impossible without clean water.  Here’s how to make sure you have it.

What happens when artifical intelligence surpasses human intelligence?  Experts think this will happen in the next 10 years or so.  Will we become slaves to our robot overlords?

Doc Montana and Matt are joined by Dan Fogler. Dan stars in the international hit movie ”Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” he appears as a regular on The Goldbergs, and he wrote, directed and starred in his own experimental film called “Don Peyote.” He also hosts a weekly podcast called Dan Fogler’s 4D Experience. Dan leads us through a raucous and wide ranging conversation about everything from prepping for the super-rich to the phsyics behind remote viewing and astral projection to the CIA’s use of mind control techniques in their MK Ultra initative (A conspiracy theory that turned out to be true!)  

We speak with Gershon Ben Keren, a 5th Degree Black Belt who was trained, tested and certified in Israel. Gershon has been training in Krav Maga since 1994. Gershon teaches us how to handle situations such as street robberies, muggings, bar brawls, sexual assaults and the like - you may be a long way away from the West Bank in Israel but the same techniques an IDF soldier uses to keep him safe while patrolling those streets will work equally well in any settings or locations. 

Jason Hanson of Spy Escape and Evasion tells us how to avoid being abducted, how to escape from captors, how to use spy techniques to be prepared, and a lot more. Jason Hanson spent nearly a decade at the Central Intelligence Agency, where he won The CIA’s Exceptional Performance Award…twice. Jason founded Spy Escape & Evasion in 2010, which is a company that teaches men and women how to be safe using Spy Secrets that 99% of Americans will never know. “You don’t need to spend 10 years becoming a black belt. You need to know how to be situationally aware, how to use defensive tools and techniques and learn the “Inside Secrets” to using these techniques to stay safe.”
