In this episode, I sit down with my good friend and legendary knifemaker, LT Wright. Over the years, LT and I have teamed up on countless projects, and I’ve gained invaluable insights from him—not just about business or knifemaking, but about life itself. LT is one of the most genuine, integrity-driven individuals I know, and today, we’re diving into his incredible journey. From his humble beginnings as a kid with big dreams to his early days as a carpenter and apprentice knifemaker, we’ll explore the path that led to the creation of LT Wright Handcrafted Knives, a brand trusted by knife-users worldwide. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from a true master of his craft!

In this interview Craig talks to Shane Kerwin aka Doc K. Shane is the Founder and Lead Instructor of Personal Survival Solutions, LLC.  Shane lays out his extensive and impressive background first, which sets the stage for the rest of the discussion.  Special Forces soldiers are the best in the world at gathering human and other resources and making working teams from what is gathered.  This is an excellent skill for any organization, especially for families related to disaster readiness and resiliency. 

Please check out Shane's website at:  https://www.personalsurvivalsolutions.com/

Consider him for any class you find useful to you and yours.  He is an excellent instructor and communicates to class participants on all levels.  

Here are some questions from the interview.  

• What lesson from your military background helps you the most in daily life?
• I have heard you use the term "protective preparedness", what does that mean and how do you help people with it?
•  Is that the same as building an individual "protective system?"
•  When you surround yourself with good people what does that look like for you?
• What sort of roles do you think each family, or group unit should have?  (Medic, Security, Communications, etc?)
• What are the critical aspects of teaching other people skills?  (any skills)
• What are the critical aspects to communicating effectively?  (I always hold you SF guys in high regard with this, and love hearing your take on this)
• What are your goals for PSS moving forward?

You will be able to find plants nearly anywhere in the Eastern region of the United States. Various plants thrive in one season or another, so Craig is going to add to this course continually as more plants arrive on the scene. Each plant discussed will also include a favorite recipe for its use.

 If you like a good story that starts out rough and points towards success this is it.  We begin with Jon Turner and his service as a US Marine and land on his family farm in Vermont several years later.  Helping kids learn how to handle single-digit cold and love it, utilizing and teaching others how to take plants and animals from field to fork, and demonstrates how one good Marine and others like him, can transition from military life and the rigors that go with it to life outside of the setting. I must say, it still looks a lot like service to me.
