I email him once in awhile to make sure he is still upright. He replies, so I presume he is.

Reading stuff being "real"...
To be more accurate, 3/4 of Book One may be "real", and a good number of the characters are based on "real" people from what I understand.
Given that 9.25 of the books are set during a political/economic collapse that has yet to happen, I take some objection to calling it reality.
"Pow" is an actual dude, and a very nice guy at that. However, last I knew he hadn't raided any meth houses, cleared rooms with a real threat of hostilities - let alone had to kill another human in anger.
I mention all this because, as preppers if we convince ourselves that these things will eventually take place, we risk it becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I meant more that I thought the Podcast in the book was fictional too. Something in the second read through triggered a memory of a mention of it someplace else and I thought I would try and find the podcast that was the inspiration of the one in the book so I was so surprised to realize it wasn't really a inspiration, but a real podcast. Oh geeze that was a long drawn out sentience, I think I need some sleep.

Yes. In some small way, many of us at TSP are part of the problem :)

I found several ideas in the books that came from the flip your spouse , and the ammo shortages threads on TSB.
The 2 things I really took from the book, that I believe would be true is how fast police, LEO, and military would walk from their posts, and how out gunned the US military is vs the civilians.
