In a world full of uncertainty and unexpected turns, it’s crucial to be prepared for the unthinkable. I can’t remember a time in my life when there was so much on the table, making it impossible to say one event or the other is more likely.
In this podcast, I will review the potential disaster scenarios, how they all lead to economic troubles, and what we should do to prepare for whatever comes our way. None of us can predict the future, but we can prepare for life-changing events by being proactive and planning ahead.
Prepping is not just about hoarding supplies and waiting for disaster to strike. It requires a comprehensive approach. By learning from others’ experiences, you can ensure you are prepping the right way and increase your chances of survival in any emergency situation.
This podcast goes over the importance of learning about preparedness and equipping yourself with the necessary skills and knowledge to complement your supplies. I’ll provide practical tips and guidance on disaster survival by developing basic emergency preparedness.
Don’t be caught off guard in a SHTF scenario – Arm yourself with the knowledge you need to increase your chances of survival. Become a capable prepper who is prepared for anything that comes your way.

While there is a lot of gear, supplies, and tools needed to become better prepared, that doesn’t mean it needs to put us in the poor house. It’s harder than ever these days just to pay the bills, let alone find a little extra every month to put towards becoming better prepared. In a world where being prepared is more important than ever, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of stockpiling supplies. However, not all prepping purchases are created equal. Some can actually drain your resources without adding real value to your survival plan.
You’ve probably watched numerous videos about essential prepping supplies or must-have survival gear. Today, let’s explore something new. Instead of rehashing the same old list, let’s dive into some of the best items you might not have considered yet – ones that deserve a spot on your wish list. These aren’t just any emergency supplies; they’re the most convenient and reliable options out there.
These are not the most inexpensive preparedness items available. Some might be a bit expensive, but believe me, they’re worth every penny. Consider them as investments in your safety and peace of mind.
Remember, the world of preparedness offers many choices. But the items we’ll discuss today? They’re game-changers. Not only will they make your life much easier during emergencies, but they’re also practical for everyday use.
So, whether you are an experienced prepper or just starting out, be prepared to upgrade your survival toolkit significantly. These items may not be on everyone’s radar, but they could make all the difference when you need them most.

It’s been a while since we did a Survival Preppers show, and with the attempted assassination of President Trump on Saturday, Brain and I decided we needed to do a livestream and discuss what went wrong (besides the obvious) and what this could all lead to.
As most of you know, Brian has an extensive background in security. He wants to share his thoughts on how the events unfolded and how they could have been handled.
It’s only been a few days, and details are still emerging, but at this point, it seems that because there were many failures, the question is, “Was this allowed to happen?” After all, theyve been schorched earth trying to destroy him for a decade, so why would this be so far-fetched?

In a recent interview I did with Nikos on The Nikos Show, we discussed quite a few interesting preparedness topics, including what it might be like to live in a Mad Max-type world and what it would take to even get to that point.
It was a good conversation, and I wanted to replay it for my Survivalist Prepper audience. We also covered several other things, including groups and communities, how gangs might form, and what the future might bring.
While a complete breakdown of society is unlikely, it is not impossible. Even if a scenario like this never plays out, it’s good to think about how things might unfold in situations like these to help us prepare for the more likely possibilities.

In this show, Local Prepper and I will discuss the similarities between the Roman Republic and Our Republic and where we might be headed. While nothing is written in stone, there are many lessons to learn about how we should prepare in the coming years.
Along the same lines, we’ll discuss where technology, society, and our “Leaders” might be taking us. It seems as though things are about to change in a big way, but will it be good, bad, or a mix of both?
Local Prepper also has some information on PrepStock 2024, which, as the website states, is the ultimate gathering of preppers, homesteaders, and survivalists! Learn from real preppers, ask questions, and meet like-minded people.

In this show, I have a special guest, Anthony from HomeFront Firearms Training, with me to discuss firearms, medical supplies, situational awareness, and important everyday carry items.
I also have a few questions the group members have asked us to discuss, including what to do if you are first on the scene of an active shooter and concealed carry weapons.
We went into quite a bit of detail about what medical supplies you should keep in your vehicle and why it’s important to get first aid training to accompany them. In addition to the first aid supplies, we also discussed other EDC (Everyday Carry) supplies we should consider.

Are you prepared for any emergency situation? In this video, I will discuss the top 10 bug-out bag supplies that are essential for survival. Whether you are planning for a natural disaster, a sudden evacuation, or a complete collapse, having the right prepping supplies can make all the difference.
Our list includes the best bug out bag items that you should have in your arsenal. I go over starting fires and first aid because starting a fire is crucial for warmth, cooking, and building shelter. The most important may be water, which is essential for hydration and survival. We will also cover the importance of food and the best options for a bug out situation.
Next, we dive into cordage, which is essential for building shelters, creating traps, and securing equipment. A reliable knife is another must-have item, as it serves multiple purposes, such as cutting, self-defense, and survival tasks. We will also discuss the best options for shelter, including tents, tarps, and emergency blankets.
Throughout the video, we will provide recommendations for the best bug out bag available and prepping gear that will enhance your chances of survival. Finally, we will highlight the importance of a reliable flashlight, as it will be your light source during dark times.
While these ten items are the most critical for a bug out bag, remember to customize your bag to fit your specific needs and circumstances. Consider factors like your environment, climate, personal health needs, and the skills you possess. A well-prepared bug out bag can be your lifeline in a crisis, providing you with the essentials to survive and signaling the first step toward recovery in the aftermath of a disaster.
Join us as we explore the top 10 bug out bag supplies that every survivalist should have. Be prepared, equipped, and confident in your ability to handle any emergency. Don’t wait until it’s too late – start building your bug out bag today with the best prepping supplies available.
In this video, we will be sharing 20 cheap items that preppers can hoard or barter with during times of crisis.
When preparing for a disaster, consider low-cost, easily accessible items that can serve multiple purposes. We understand that not everyone has a huge budget, so we have compiled this list of everyday items you can stockpile without breaking the bank.
One of the most essential items for any prepper is a reliable source of fire. That’s why we recommend investing in affordable and easy-to-store lighters. They can be used to start fires, light candles, and even as a bartering tool.
Another crucial item that often gets overlooked is toilet paper. During a crisis, traditional methods of personal hygiene may no longer be available, making toilet paper a valuable commodity. Stocking up on this essential item will ensure your comfort and provide you with a trading item if needed.
Additionally, we will discuss important prepping supplies such as cooking fuel. Propane and butane canisters are relatively inexpensive and can be used with portable stoves or camping cookware. Having a good supply of cooking fuel will enable you to prepare meals even when no electricity or gas is available.
By hoarding or bartering with these inexpensive everyday items, you can greatly enhance your preparedness level without straining your budget. Remember,
