The “Survival” Room
Welcome to season 2 of The Best Defense Survival. This season, we take viewers to the micro level of survival preparedness. The first step is planning the main room in your home that you are going to “hunker down” in during a disaster event; something Michael Janich has already done in his own home.

Security - Best Defense Survival!
The Best Defense Survival always deals with firearms for defensive use in a disaster situation. But your security during these times goes well beyond having a gun. From gun storage to physical barriers, this episode will show you what to consider around your home, as well as when moving out in the open, that will keep you and your family safe during a disaster.

Medical - Best Defense Survival!
Most of the medical kits people have cover the basics; band-aids, tweezers, rubbing alcohol… anything that can take care of our every day minor injuries. But when planning for survival, you need to take things a step further.

Water - Best Defense Survival!
During World War II, the town of Picher, Oklahoma produced a large number of the bullets American troops used in their M1 Garands, M1 Carbines and Thompson sub-machineguns. But what the town didn’t realize was the lead mining that was driving their industry was also poisoning the water supply. Michael Bane visits Picher, Oklahoma to introduce us to the idea that having to purify your water isn’t necessarily a far fetched idea.

Food For Survival - The Best Defense Survival!
The last place you want to be is at the grocery store, Michael Bane found in the lower 9th ward of New Orleans.
