From the publisher
Fortress Survival Podcast is an alternative view at the world of preparedness by Joel Ryals. A veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan, he now runs Fortress K9 and K9 Academy Online. So Fortress Survival has a specific additional focus on using dogs in an emergency situation as well as an emphasis on practical, realistic preparedness and personal protection. Joel started Prepping prior to Y2K and has become disillusioned with the fantastical fiction most prepping podcasts and YouTube channels seem to promote. While catastrophic situations are always a possibility, they are not very likely. But many other situations requiring you to be prepared are. Check us out. YouTube Channel coming soon.
