Glen Tate Interview

Another Mikes guest invite paid off. Glent Tate author of the 299 Days books emailed me about being on the show. He liked my review of the books so much be wanted on. Also as It turns out we have something else in common. Glen drank from the kool aid and joined the cult of crossfit. We both are of the mind that physical fitness is one of the most important preps. I’ll take any chance to spread the word on getting in shape. We do talk about the books a good bit though. I got my co host Mike hooked on the books before this podcast. Mike really got into the swing of things and asked some hard hitting questions. This will be different from any interview with Glen Tate you’ve heard. He all had a great time and covered some important info.We hear about the upcoming audio versions. Glen Tates 299 Days books are the best prepper fiction out there. Go check them out.

299 Days

The main topic of this week is all about the 299 Days book series by Glen Tate. The series follows Grant, his family and friends as America suffers a partial collapse. How Grant came to become a prepper and hide it. The building of a small community. I like how the book goes into the politics of a small community on a much deeper level than other books I’ve read. Glen’s 299 Days books, I feel, are the new gold standard in prepper/ survival fiction. The characters in 299 Days all feel alive and unique, with flaws and weaknesses. The 299 days books don’t come off as a survival manual but rather great fiction with nuggets of info slipped in.

299 Days: The Collapse

May 9, 2013May 9, 2013 James Burnette 1,174 Comments

I just finished the second book in the 299 Days series and have already moved onto the third. For those that don’t know 299 Days is an epic book series written by Glen Tate about a collapse of the United States. Glen and the character Grant in the book both have an inside track into government corruption and wrong doings. The first book was back-story on Grant and his realization that things could and would go wrong. With his knowledge of a probable collapse he takes steps to ensure that his family is taken care of by becoming a survivalist in secret. Things are starting to break down at the end of the first book. The second is where the shit really starts hitting the fan and where this review will pick up for 299 days: The Collapse.

299 Days: The Preparation Review

April 22, 2013April 22, 2013 James Burnette 1,343 Comments

I just finished reading the first book, The Preparation, in the 299 Days series and couldn’t wait to review it. For those that somehow have not heard about this amazing new prepper book series I’ll give you a brief synopsis. The story planned to be a massive ten book series chronicling the collapse of the United states. The author Glen Tate uses his inside the government knowledge to set up a realistic collapse situation that is more like a limited and partial collapse.
