Is your garage more of a storage locker than a place to park your car? In this episode of https://FixItRadio.com, John Rush launches a timely deep dive into the cluttered corners of our homes—starting with the garage. Why do we hold onto broken mounts, old paint cans, or spare parts we haven't touched in years? Could all that “just-in-case” inventory be costing you space, money, and even security? As John and Larry Unger dig deeper, they reveal just how easily clutter can turn into chaos. Are you unknowingly creating the perfect rodent playground? From labeling and dating items to utilizing $5 clear plastic bins and QR-coded storage systems, the episode offers modern tools and clever hacks to keep your space rodent-proof and organized. It's not just about tidying up—it's about making your garage functional again. Then comes a jaw-dropping twist: a listener calls in to reveal that mice stashed 25 pounds of cat food inside a drainage tube—right under the noses of the barn cats! The story sparks a bigger conversation with Jeff about how clutter, old tools, and outdated equipment might be less treasure and more trash. Are your corded drills, air nailers, and vintage gear now obsolete in a cordless world? From nostalgic holdouts to cutting-edge upgrades, this episode is part how-to, part reality check—and it just might inspire you to take back your space.
What happens when a summer camping trip turns deadly—and no one saw it coming? On this episode of https://ready-radio.com, John Rush and guest Bill Anderson dive into the devastating floods that struck parts of Texas and New Mexico, claiming lives and transforming communities overnight. But instead of answers, many are hearing finger-pointing and political spin. Could this tragedy have been avoided with better situational awareness and personal responsibility? From emergency broadcast failures to the dangers of blind reliance on government, John and Bill unpack why self-reliance—not outrage—is the real survival strategy. Are you ready for what nature might throw your way? What if the difference between life and death on your next adventure came down to one simple question: Where did you pitch your tent? John and Bill dig even deeper into the mindset of true preparedness—choosing higher ground, identifying emergency exits before you park, and knowing where to find the nearest tornado shelter or hospital. Have you mapped alternate routes? Do you know which cell towers cover your campsite? With real-world stories and hard-earned wisdom, this episode shows why “trust but verify” isn't just a saying—it's a survival skill. Would you be ready when the storm rolls in? And when the danger isn't visible—but hiding in your drinking water—would you know what to do? In one of the most crucial segments of the show, the conversation shifts to clean water. From dangerous pathogens like Giardia to flood-contaminated rivers and aging infrastructure, John and his callers share the tools and strategies—like LifeStraws, the Grail, and the H2Go purifier—that turn dirty water into a life-saving resource. Could your own rain barrel or well water be silently making you sick? Learn how to purify with confidence—before the taps run dry. Finally, what happens when your weekend trip turns into a logistical nightmare—or worse, a trap with no way out? John and Bill expose the hidden risks of group outings, unfamiliar terrain, and blind trust in “the organizer.” Are you following someone else's plan… or leading your own? Whether you're towing a camper or relying on your phone for alerts, this episode reminds you that your first line of defense is you. From deteriorating copper pipes to washed-out roads, every detail matters when the unexpected strikes. So don't wait for a rescue—be the one who's already ready.

What happens when your car suffers hail damage or is declared a total loss—and your insurance company lowballs you on the payout? John Rush and guest Burke Payne from https://bpappraisalsllc.com break down the hidden truth about diminished value and how insurance companies routinely pay less than you deserve. Can you really fight back and win thousands more? What does it take to prove your car's true worth?

Whether you're prepping for EMPs or inheriting tools you don't know how to use, the warning is clear—don't trade discernment and experience for artificial convenience. Knowledge might be fast, but wisdom takes sweat. John and Bill hammer home a tough truth: information alone isn't enough.

What stops people from prepping? Guest host Bill Anderson, the “preparedness pastor,” dives into the top objections people have about readiness—starting with normalcy bias. Just because life has been smooth doesn't mean it will stay that way. Could your job disappear tomorrow? What if the grid fails or a tornado strikes without warning—like the recent one in Elizabeth, CO that came without a government alert? Bill tackles the myth that prepping is too expensive. He reminds us that resilience doesn't require a fortune—just strategy. Can you really build a food reserve starting with $10 a week? Learn about layering, freezer fasts, and starting with just three days of supplies. From homegrown tomatoes to edible weeds like dandelions and yarrow, he emphasizes that knowledge—not gear—is the real survival tool. What would you eat if stores shut down tonight? Could your backyard save your life? Tune in to hear why practical prepping isn't just for “doomsday preppers”—it's for anyone who values peace of mind.
