In this episode, Lucas Mack sits down with Robert Toombs, founder of Mountain Readiness and a leading voice in self-reliance and practical preparedness, to explore what it truly means to reclaim sovereignty in an increasingly artificial world.

Robert shares his remarkable upbringing — spending his first twenty years living off-grid in the wilderness without modern utilities, where foraging, manual labor, and deep connection with the land formed the foundation of his worldview. Those formative experiences now fuel his mission through Mountain Readiness, where he teaches hands-on skills that help individuals, families, and communities build resilience and real-world capability.

Together, Lucas and Robert discuss the relationship between land, body, spirit, and truth — emphasizing physical health, grounded living, and the recovery of ancestral wisdom as pathways back to freedom. This conversation calls us to step out of dependency, reconnect with what is real, and cultivate a life rooted in courage, stewardship, and inner alignment.
