Prepping

Artificial intelligence has been making waves in nearly every industry, and prepping is no exception. While most preppers focus on traditional skills like food storage, bushcraft, and self-defense, AI is becoming an unexpected but powerful tool for preparedness. From automating inventory management to analyzing threats and even helping with skill acquisition, AI can enhance your ability to survive and thrive in uncertain times. In this episode, we’re diving into how AI is reshaping the world of prepping and why it might be the edge you need.

In the world of preparedness, the ability to adapt and grow is just as important as stockpiling supplies. Knowledge is one of the few preps that can never be taken from you. The more you know, the better you can handle any situation—from making your own gear to understanding alternative medicine or even thriving in a grid-down world. Learning isn’t just about survival; it’s about becoming a more capable, resilient person in every aspect of life.
But in a world of infinite information, how do you separate the useful from the noise? That’s where smart learning techniques come in. Inspired by Tim Ferriss and other efficiency experts, I’ve developed a system that helps me absorb information quickly, filter out nonsense, and actually retain what I learn.

A well-stocked prepper stash is useless if it’s lost in a fire, stolen, or otherwise compromised. Many preppers make the mistake of keeping all their supplies in one location, whether it’s their home, a basement, or a storage room. But what happens if disaster strikes and wipes out everything in one blow? The smart move is to spread out your supplies, hide them effectively, and ensure redundancy so you’re never left empty-handed.

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.
