 Chuck Jaeger lives in Woodstock, NY with his wife and four children. Chuck is a former Life Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. He somehow never accomplished the rank of Eagle Scout stating that he didn’t want to play political games. This seems to be a recurring theme. In 1996 Chuck joined the U.S. Navy as a Electronic Technician servicing onboard the Mighty Warship U.S.S. Vella Gulf. As events in the world unfolded during “Operation Noble Anvil” the liberation of former Yugoslavia and the attacks on September 11, 2001 It became clear that the world may not always be as safe as once believed. As Chuck went further down the rabbit hole he decided to step up his preparedness leading him to the start of The Survival and Basic Badass Podcast with his cohost Kevin in 2015.
