The Common Sense Practical Prepper

Send us a textWhen disaster strikes and communication networks collapse, are you prepared to reach your loved ones? Satellite communication might be the difference between panic and peace of mind during an emergency. The Garmin inReach Mini 2 offers a reliable lifeline when traditional methods fail. This pocket-sized device weighs just 3.5 ounces but provides global coverage through the Iridium satellite network, ensuring there are no blind spots or dead zones. Whether you're stranded 50 miles from home during a hurricane or lost on a remote hiking trail, this device allows you to share your location, send crucial text messages, and even trigger an SOS alert that connects directly to emergency response teams.For approximately $12 monthly (about "a Starbucks and a half"), you get 50 text messages and location tracking capabilities that create digital breadcrumbs family members can follow. The battery impresses with up to 14 days of standby time or 5 days of continuous tracking. While the device's compact size makes button navigation somewhat challenging for those with larger fingers, the companion smartphone app provides a more user-friendly interface for message composition and device setup.What truly sets the inReach apart is its emergency response capabilities. The SOS feature connects you with Garmin's 24/7 response team who coordinate with local search and rescue services to provide assistance anywhere in the world. Preset messages allow quick communication in various scenarios, from simple check-ins to urgent meet-up instructions when disaster strikes.At approximately $350, the investment might seem significant, but can you really put a price on knowing you'll never be truly cut off from help or loved ones? As newer models emerge (including a $2,000 smartwatch with similar capabilities), this reliable communication tool remains an accessible option for practical preppers. Even if it sits unused most days, the peace of mind it provides is invaluable. Be safe out there, take care of one another, and remember: preparation isn't paranoia—it's prudence.Support the showHave a question, suggestion or comment?

Send us a textA chance encounter with the remains of the Berlin Wall unleashed a flood of unexpected emotions during my vacation in Germany. Walking these streets 35 years after my first visit as a young backpacker, when the city was still divided by concrete and barbed wire, brought history vividly back to life in ways I wasn't prepared for.What does it mean when your neighborhood is suddenly cut in half by armed guards, barbed wire, and bricks laid at gunpoint? How do families cope when they're separated with no means of communication? The resilience of Berliners who lived through the wall's construction reminds us how quickly "normal" can vanish and how humans adapt to unimaginable circumstances. Standing at the spot where I once crossed into East Berlin, I couldn't help but reflect on those who attempted escapes—some successful, many tragically not.This experience has me thinking about modern preparedness challenges. While enjoying the vibrant, unified Berlin of today, with its street festivals and overflowing cafés, I've been contemplating what would happen if a serious situation prevented international travel while abroad. Even a minor air traffic control glitch delayed my flight from Newark—what if something more serious occurred? Do you have backup communication methods when traveling? Could you manage if suddenly cut off from home? These aren't just academic questions for preppers; they're practical considerations for anyone who ventures beyond their comfort zone. I encourage you to travel when possible—whether across the world or just to another state—but always with awareness and contingency plans. The lessons of Berlin's wall continue to teach us about human resilience, the fragility of our connections, and the importance of preparation.Support the showHave a question, suggestion or comment?

In this practical exploration of solar generator technology, we break down everything you need to know about these increasingly popular portable power stations that are revolutionizing how preppers approach energy independence.Solar generators represent the perfect marriage of sustainability and practicality – capturing free energy from the sun through panels, converting DC to AC power, and storing it in increasingly efficient batteries. Unlike traditional gas generators with their noise, fumes, and constant fuel requirements, these silent workhorses require minimal maintenance while providing clean, reliable power for everything from smartphone charging to running small appliances. We examine how these systems function, comparing industry leaders EcoFlow and BluEddy, while addressing common concerns about customer service and reliability.Understanding capacity is crucial when selecting a solar generator, so we demystify watt-hours and explain how to properly size a system for your specific needs. Whether you're powering a chicken coop (as our host does), creating a home backup system, or seeking off-grid capabilities for a tiny home, today's solar generators offer remarkable versatility with expanding capabilities as technology improves. While weather dependency remains their primary limitation, we discuss practical workarounds and how lithium iron phosphate batteries now offer thousands of cycles with minimal capacity loss. As battery technology continues its rapid evolution and prices steadily decrease, solar generators are becoming an increasingly attractive option for those seeking energy resilience without the hassles of traditional generators.Ready to harness the power of the sun for your emergency preparations?

The uncomfortable truth is that your chances are slim—even with extensive preparations. A sobering 2022 study reveals that a full-scale nuclear exchange between major powers would result in approximately 5 billion deaths within two years, primarily from starvation rather than direct blast impacts or radiation. This episode cuts through prepper fantasies with unflinching honesty while still offering practical guidance.Modern global conflict presents challenges far beyond what most preppers anticipate. Cities become immediate targets, infrastructure collapses within days, and nuclear winter could render agriculture impossible for years. Rural locations offer marginal advantages at best, while the widespread effects of radiation, food chain disruption, and societal breakdown create nearly insurmountable long-term survival obstacles.Yet this harsh reality doesn't mean prepping lacks value. The same preparations that might extend your survival during global conflict—stockpiling food and water, learning critical skills like water purification and first aid, implementing basic security measures, and building community networks—serve you exceptionally well during more likely scenarios like extended power outages, severe weather events, and economic hardships. Perhaps most crucially, these preparations provide peace of mind and a sense of agency in an increasingly unpredictable world.The mental resilience aspect of prepping deserves special attention. By accepting realistic limitations, practicing stress management, focusing on controllable factors, and celebrating small victories, you build psychological fortitude that proves invaluable during any crisis. Whether you're facing a two-week power outage or temporary unemployment, the practical skills and preparations you develop today translate directly into tangible benefits regardless of whether the ultimate doomsday scenario materializes.Subscribe, leave a review, and join us next week for more practical prepping insights that don't require a fortune or a bunker.Support the showHave a question, suggestion or comment?

The challenges of limited space, shared walls, and lack of storage don't have to mean limited preparation options.Today we're diving deep into practical apartment prepping strategies that don't require a basement, garage, or dedicated storage room. I'm sharing straightforward solutions to three critical areas: securing your entry points, discreetly storing your supplies, and creating an effective bug-out strategy.Your front door represents your primary security point in apartment living. Learn how to strengthen this crucial barrier with proper deadbolts, security bars, and early warning systems that buy you precious time during emergencies. I break down why most standard apartment locks fail and what specific upgrades make the biggest difference without breaking your budget or lease agreement.Storage challenges require creative thinking. Discover how under-bed containers, strategically labeled and packed with decoy items, can hide your emergency supplies in plain sight. I share specific techniques for concealing food and gear using everyday furniture and household items that won't raise eyebrows when maintenance or visitors enter your space.Perhaps most importantly, I address the urban bug-out strategy that many preppers get dangerously wrong. Find out why your tactical backpack might actually put you at risk during evacuations, and how blending in with ordinary-looking gear could save your life when leaving your apartment during emergencies. Whether you're new to prepping or adapting your preparedness strategy to apartment living, these practical tips will help you maximize your readiness without compromising your living space or announcing your preparations to the world.

Send us a textWhen disaster strikes, the difference between comfort and crisis often comes down to preparation. Tropical Storm Erin is brewing with 45 mph sustained winds and forecasters predict it will strengthen into a Category 3 hurricane within days. Though it's likely to veer away from the East Coast before landfall, this serves as the perfect opportunity to evaluate your emergency readiness.A proper hurricane kit doesn't require a massive budget or specialized knowledge. Start with water - the foundation of survival. While guidelines suggest one gallon per person daily, I recommend doubling that to two gallons for cooking, drinking, and sanitation. For food, focus on easy-to-prepare options that don't require refrigeration: canned goods, protein bars, peanut butter, and dried fruits. Commercial emergency food buckets from companies like Augason Farms or ReadyWise offer convenient alternatives with impressive shelf-life.Beyond sustenance, your kit should include a basic first aid kit, prescription medications, emergency lighting (flashlights with extra batteries), and potentially a small solar generator for power. Don't overlook the importance of communication tools - a battery-operated or hand-cranked NOAA weather radio keeps you informed when cellular networks fail. Store everything in waterproof containers alongside copies of essential documents like ID, insurance policies, and medical information.The beauty of emergency preparedness is that it doesn't have to happen all at once. As my son would say, "don't go ham" on spending. Add components gradually, focusing first on absolute essentials. Whether you call it a hurricane kit, severe storm kit, or typhoon kit depending on your location, the principles remain the same: practical preparation creates peace of mind. Take this opportunity to start or supplement your emergency supplies - because when minutes matter, prior planning makes all the difference.Augason FarmsSupport the podcast.

Send us a textFear of being labeled an extremist shouldn't stop you from being prepared. In this eye-opening exploration, we dive into how different cultures worldwide view emergency preparedness—with some fascinating surprises.Starting with a practical breakdown of "junk silver" as a bartering option, we analyze whether those pre-1964 dimes and quarters (with their 3.75 troy ounces of silver per $5 face value) are worth the premium price when compared to straightforward silver rounds. The math gets complicated quickly, revealing why simplicity might trump historical currency during crisis situations.The global perspective on prepping reveals striking contrasts. While Americans often battle stereotypes from sensationalized TV shows like "Doomsday Preppers," countries like Sweden have explicitly endorsed preparedness by mailing 5 million households a guide called "If a Crisis or War Came." Japan's approach proves even more compelling—preparedness isn't labeled as "prepping" but exists as an unquestioned cultural norm due to frequent earthquakes and tsunamis.Perhaps most surprising is how preparedness transcends political boundaries. From conservatives to liberals to libertarians, the estimated 23.5 million American preppers ($11 billion industry) share the common goal of self-reliance during emergencies. By focusing on practical skills like "Stop the Bleed" training and maintaining basic supplies, prepared individuals actually reduce strain on emergency services during disasters—allowing resources to reach the truly vulnerable.The stigma makes little sense when you realize preparation simply means taking responsibility for yourself and your family. Whether it's climate threats, supply chain disruptions, or unforeseen emergencies, having food, water, shelter, and basic medical knowledge represents common sense, not extremism.Subscribe now and join our community of practical preppers focused on affordable, realistic approaches to self-reliance.

Send us a textAugason Farms affiliate link https://augasonfarms.com?sca_ref=9315862.VpHzogdDNuFear not—unless you're unprepared for emergencies. As severe weather events intensify across the country, practical preparedness has never been more crucial.The numbers don't lie. Already in 2025, we've experienced 1,400 confirmed tornadoes, vastly exceeding the 1,200 total from all of 2024. One outbreak alone claimed 28 lives in mid-May. Flash flooding has devastated communities from New Mexico to the Carolinas. Yet 90% of Americans still don't have a basic 72-hour emergency kit ready.Whether facing tornadoes with minimal warning or hurricanes with days of lead time, your response strategy must be tailored to the threat. For those in traditionally sturdy structures, sheltering in place during tornado warnings remains safest—but manufactured home residents must seek sturdier refuge. Hurricane evacuation requires planning multiple escape routes rather than relying on a single highway that will inevitably become congested when thousands flee simultaneously.Transportation preparedness deserves special attention. Maintain at least half a tank of fuel in your vehicles at all times, supplemented by safely stored fuel reserves at home. When Hurricane Hugo struck, evacuees drove as far as Boston seeking hotel rooms as accommodations filled hundreds of miles inland. Having predetermined evacuation destinations with family or friends provides security that last-minute planning cannot.Emergency food supplies represent another critical preparation component. While there's satisfaction in self-sufficiency practices like canning and freeze-drying, commercial emergency meals offer convenience that shouldn't be overlooked. The ideal approach combines both—maintaining home-preserved foods while supplementing with grab-and-go options for rapid evacuation scenarios.Don't wait until warnings blast across your phone to prepare. Developing multiple evacuation routes, maintaining adequate fuel, establishing distant safe havens, and preparing proper emergency kits today ensures you won't become another statistic when disaster strikes tomorrow.

Well, the inauguration is over and in my opinion, things are looking up, things are looking more positive in the long term, However, don't forget the bad guys have already crossed the border. It's a great thing that the borders being secured, but that's gonna take some time, but thousands, if not more bad actors have already crossed into the border, so if there's going to be an attack from within, it's from those people who have already illegally crossed. So this is not the time to stop prepping. This is not the time to rest on your laurels. Keep doing what you're doing, have a more positive mindset, but just be aware that things can go completely pear shaped at any moment. Thanks.Support the showHave a question, suggestion or comment?
