Episode 88: Survival and Privacy

Listen

From disaster planning to wilderness survival to personal safety, they all share one common theme: the people who engage in these activities value privacy.

In this episode of Privacy Files, Kevin Estela talks about how his training in survival and bushcraft have taught him why privacy is so important.

Kevin is one of the preeminent experts on the topic of wilderness survival and bushcraft skills.

He has consulted for the History Channel, written more than 100 articles and spent nearly two years as host of the Fieldcraft Survival podcast.

Kevin is also author of the book 101 Sills You Need to Survive in the Woods.

We talk about a variety of things related to preparedness and survival–whether in the wilderness, or back at home in the city.

Kevin shares a couple of eye-popping stories that underscore why he takes privacy seriously. One story involves a stalker. The other is an important lesson about why it’s critical to use social media cautiously.

One of the key takeaways from this interview is that privacy is often about safety. And living privately begins with developing a survivalist mindset.
