The Tactical Redneck Podcast is a no-nonsense show focused on tactical gear, survival preparedness, prepping, law enforcement insight, and real-world readiness for everyday Americans who believe in being ready before things go sideways. Hosted by Ron Lyons, a former police officer with many years of street experience, the podcast is grounded in real life—not theory or internet hype.
Ron served as a K-9 handler and spent years working drug interdiction, building a career marked by results, discipline, and practical decision-making under pressure. During his time in law enforcement, he was involved in numerous major drug seizures and set multiple records for narcotics interdiction, gaining firsthand experience in high-risk environments where preparation and mindset matter.
That background shapes everything discussed on the show. From bug out bags and get-home planning to rural preparedness, affordable gear reviews, mindset, and situational awareness, The Tactical Redneck Podcast delivers practical, experience-driven advice you can actually use. The focus isn’t on extreme scenarios or fear-based content—it’s about smart preparation, realistic planning, and honest evaluations of gear and skills that work in the real world.
Built for preppers, survivalists, first responders, law-enforcement supporters, and everyday people, this podcast is about self-reliance, responsibility, and readiness—without politics, posturing, or influencer nonsense. If you value experience over hype, practicality over trends, and preparation over panic, The Tactical Redneck Podcast was built for you.
