Person
Walter Glen Martin is the owner and producer of Prepper Broadcasting, a 24/7 prepper/survival internet radio station. Raised in Oregon, he spent most of his youth hunting, fishing, and camping in the Strawberry Mountains and, later, the Three Sisters Wilderness area. Working with a degree in architectural and mechanical drafting, Walt still longed for adventure, and weekends, holidays, and vacations would always find him somewhere in the wilderness. When he's not at his desk, Walt is either tending his animals or somewhere in the mountains of Northern Idaho.
