Prepping

When people think of survival, they often focus on stockpiling food, weapons, and ammunition. But historically, the biggest killer in collapse scenarios hasn’t been violence—it’s been disease. Poor sanitation and lack of hygiene have wiped out armies, devastated communities, and turned minor injuries into death sentences. In this episode, we’re diving deep into why hygiene and sanitation should be a top priority in your prepping plan.

Spring is finally here, and that means it’s prime time for foraging! Whether you’re a seasoned survivalist or just getting started, this is the perfect season to explore the wild food options growing all around you. From greens and berries to edible flowers and medicinal plants, nature is providing—if you know where to look.

Drones have become an undeniable part of modern warfare, surveillance, and everyday life. In a post-collapse scenario, they will be a double-edged sword—used against you by hostile forces, but also providing an invaluable tool for preppers who know how to use them. Let’s break down the role of drones in a collapse, how to defend against them, and how to use them to your advantage.

In a world where everything is conveniently available at the click of a button, it's easy to overlook the importance of self-sufficiency. But what happens when supply chains break down stores close, and modern conveniences are no longer reliable? In a collapse scenario, those who have hands-on skills will not only survive but thrive. Today, we’re diving into some of the most useful skills you can develop to prepare for a post-collapse world: fixing things, blacksmithing, and brewing alcohol. These aren’t just useful for personal survival—they can also become valuable bartering tools in a world where traditional currency may lose its value.

When it comes to self-defense, firearms are the ultimate tool—effective, reliable, and a force equalizer. However, not everyone can or wants to rely on guns in every situation. Whether due to legal restrictions, personal preference, or practicality, having alternative self-defense tools can be essential for survival and preparedness. Let’s explore some of the best options available and how they can fit into your overall self-defense strategy.
