This time we sit down with Morgan of Rogue Preparedness to trace a personal journey from a childhood of home-canned jam to a rabbit hole sparked by a dead Blackberry phone—one small outage that opened a new way of seeing everyday safety. Through warm storytelling and honest anecdotes, Morgan shows how prepping grew from curiosity into a calm, practical practice for family life.

They weave together generational skills and modern shocks—the pandemic, supply-chain strains, and storms—into a clear, do-able plan: start with what you actually eat, secure water and heat options, make simple emergency plans, and involve your household so panic never becomes the only option. Morgan’s tips (and a few charming stories about chickens and mason jar shortages) make preparedness feel accessible, not extreme.

This episode invites listeners to imagine one small change they can make today—another canned favorite on the shelf, a two-gallon water stash, or a practiced family meeting point—and to take comfort in the fact that readiness is a habit, not a headline.
