There are potentially legal consequences if you transmit without a license. The most likely of which is they tell you to stop.

As others have said, The Survival Podcast is great. Start with episode 160 covering the basics: food, water, shelter, energy, health and sanitation, security.
As far as self defense goes, a glock 19 or (similar 9mm) on your person and an AR-15 somewhere you can get to it in hurry covers most situations.

Check out wood pellet stoves. They are pretty easy to intall and operate compared to traditional wood stoves.
In Alaska, one ton of pellets costs $400. I would assume that tbey are cbeaper everywhere else.
That produces 16M BTU's of heat. That's roughly equivalent to burning 115 gallons of diesel.
