The Roadgunner Podcast interviewed me. It turned out well. I come on at 33:24.
The Prepping Report review of 299 Days on YouTube
The Prepping Report does a nice review of the first four books. Don’t worry, Prepping Report doesn’t spoil any plot twists.
The Prepping Report reviewer has experience in government and verifies that I got it right when it comes to the mindset of some people in government operate. He also likes the information in the book on food preparations, training (shooting, medical, and gun smithing), home security, when to bug out, security at a bug out location, and communications. The reviewer really likes the information in the books about how to build up a community.
The Prepping Report concludes by saying the books are really good for persuading non-preppers or people on the fence.

299er Sheepdog of the week (Dec. 23, 2013)
I’m starting a new thing here, 299er Sheepdog of the Week. A “sheepdog” takes risks to protect the sheep from the wolves. In today’s world, that would be military, law enforcement, military contractors, and lots and lots of civilians who protect civilians from bad guys. If you carry a concealed firearm, you’re a sheepdog.
299er Sheepdog of the Week will be where a 299 Days reader, who is a sheepdog, does something cool and tells me about it.
The first 299er Sheepdog of the Week comes from the special operations unit the 106th Rescue Wing. They do cool PJ (“parajumper”) stuff like blaze into enemy territory to rescue downed pilots and other people. They do tons of rescues in peacetime. (Grant in the book wanted to be a PJ; it’s in Chapter 2.) Every single member of the 106th does cool stuff, even if they’re not actually PJs.
The guys who sent this shirt to me are solid Patriots and Oath Keepers. (I’m keeping their identity on the down-low.) What an amazing honor to have guys like them reading the book and even sending me a t-shirt. I will wear it with pride, gentlemen.
Everyone else: Send in some pictures and other stuff to me. I love it. I’ll send cool stuff to you, too. Email me at glentate123 AT gmail.com and I’ll post the stuff you send. Thanks, guys.
