Welcome to LetsTalkSurvival!

My name is Steve Ackerman and welcome to my blog…

LetsTalkSurvival is a survival blog focussed on emergency preparedness, self-reliance and the demonstration of survival skills and techniques… And lots of gear reviews too. This is my passion and has been for some time. While I am an avid survivalist, prepper, firearm enthusiast and gear junkie, I am by no means an expert. Simply a perpetual student of life and the outdoors.

While this site was originally created as a vehicle to house my own personal cache of tips, tricks, techniques and other useful information related to prepping and survival that I would like to keep handy and share. It is my hope that you will also find this collection information useful as well.

As I write, I tend to evaluate solutions like a prepper, and I often use a zombie apocalypse as a metaphor when I discuss and plan for survival situations and scenarios. My tenet is “If you are ready for a Zombie Apocalypse, you are ready for anything”.

My interests also include OSX, Linux, networking, software development, photography, firearms and other forms of weaponry, sportfishing, writing, coaching baseball and softball and of course my family. And did I mention firearms and knives?
