When it comes to preparedness, it’s easy to get distracted by shiny gear and high-tech gadgets. But here’s the truth: batteries die, circuits fry, and the grid can go dark without warning. Real preparedness is about resilience. In this episode, we’ll cover three practical areas of prepping you can strengthen today.

Evaluating your core preps for bugging in, Leaning on low-tech solutions when the gadgets fail, and Building situational awareness - the invisible skill that keeps you ahead of danger.

Have you ever had the thought that What’s In Your Pockets Could Save Your Day or Your Life?

Do you wonder why some folks seem to have the answer to every crisis—whether it's a power outage, a busted zipper, or something more serious? It’s probably not luck—it’s their EDC, their everyday carry setup. Today, we’ll dig into the EDC items preppers actually rely on, from the basics they carry everywhere, to the small upgrades that can make a huge difference when things go sideways. Don’t worry, you won’t need cargo pants with 12 pockets—or a purse the size of a suitcase—to get prepared.

We're talking EDC Essentials for Real-World Emergencies

Prepping isn’t just about beans, batteries, and bottled water, it’s about raising resilient kids who know what to do when life gets bumpy.

In this episode, we’ll talk about making family prepping plans that actually include our kids, from toddlers to teens.

We’ll cover how to keep the conversation positive, how to give everyone a role (even if it’s “official snack taster” or “water bottle checker” or "flashlight holder"), and why prepping together can be one of the best gifts you give your children.
