Mark & Krista Lawley

Practical Prepping Podcast is for everyday people.Helping you become prepared for whatever emergencies come our way. Where gear is good, but knowledge is better, because the more you know, the less you have to carry. Whatever the emergency, natural disaster, or man-made events which may disrupt daily life from minutes to months... from running out of gas, getting snowed in, going through a hurricane or tornado, even an extended SHTF event, we all need to be prepared. The government isn't coming to help. WE ARE ON OUR OWN! Family friendly listening, as we promise to keep it clean! We don's do bunkers with years of supplies in order to repopulate the earth after TEOTWAWKI. We aren't preparing to survive a nuclear war (probably wouldn't want to survive that one.) We do prepare to survive the actual threats that we are most likely to face, and we want to help you get prepared for the threats that you will most likely face. We'll keep it practical. That's why it is called "Practical Prepping Podcast"Website: www.practicalprepping.info produced and provided by: www.prolinedesigns.us

Preparedness is not only about buying specialized gear. It is also about recognizing how everyday items can solve urgent problems when normal systems fail. In this episode, we look at ordinary office supplies and the practical survival uses hidden in desks, break rooms, mailrooms, and supply closets. From paper, tape, binder clips, and trash bags to furniture, cardboard, cleaning supplies, and electronics, this is a guide to improvisation where people actually spend much of their time. If an emergency happens at work, the most useful tools may already be around you, if you know how to see them differently.

Walk through your house with me for a minute. That baking sheet in your oven? It’s not just for cookies, it’s a radio antenna ground plane, a cooking surface over coals, and a drying rack for seeds. That petroleum jelly in the medicine cabinet? Fire starter, skin protection, rust prevention. That five‑gallon bucket in the garage? Sanitation system, water hauler, food storage, even rain catchment. Most people see clutter. Preppers see capability.

In this episode we look at 17 overlooked everyday items with real survival uses.

Aluminum foil becomes a heat reflector, emergency cooking surface, even a late‑night plumbing patch (ask us how we know). Baking soda handles grease fires and bug bites. Bandanas filter water and become slings. Coffee filters pre‑filter dirty water. Dental floss repairs gear, and yes, we talk realistically about wound closure options. Empty pill bottles protect matches and tinder. Old belts become straps and tourniquets. Zip ties secure almost anything. Plastic sheeting turns into shelter. Freezer bags protect documents, electronics, and supplies.

Preparedness isn’t always about buying more gear. Often, it’s about recognizing the hidden utility in what you already own.

What if survival is not about expensive gear but about mindset? Redneck engineering proves that resilience comes from creativity, grit, and knowing how to use what is already in your hands. When things break or systems fail, practical self reliance becomes your greatest advantage.

Redneck engineering is more than a stereotype. It is a mindset rooted in resourcefulness, adaptability, and practical problem solving. Originally, the term redneck referred to rural farmers in the Southern United States who worked long hours in the sun. Over time, the word evolved. Today it can describe someone who is plainspoken, hardworking, and self reliant. While sometimes used as an insult, many proudly embrace it as a symbol of resilience and ingenuity.

At its core, redneck engineering is about creating functional solutions when pre made gear is unavailable. It reflects the simple philosophy of fix it now with what you have. Whether building an improvised shelter from natural materials, stringing a tarp between trees with paracord, or repurposing contractor trash bags as moisture barriers, the focus is always on knowledge over gear.

This mindset also applies to home security. Simple upgrades like replacing short door screws with three inch wood screws can dramatically strengthen entry points. Wooden dowels in sliding door tracks, crossbars for doors, and strategic landscaping with thorny bushes can deter intruders without advertising that you are security conscious.

Many everyday items can serve multiple purposes. Paracord strands become fishing line or sewing thread. A stainless steel water bottle allows you to boil water over a fire. Even common household objects can be adapted in emergencies.

Our grandparents practiced these principles during the Great Depression. They planted gardens, preserved food, repaired clothing, and lived by the creed use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.

Redneck engineering is not about appearances. It is about competence. When you cultivate resourcefulness through practice, you build confidence and resilience for whatever comes next.

Flooding kills more Americans each year than many storms that get far more headlines. Over 100 lives are lost annually, and most of those deaths follow the same predictable pattern. The water doesn’t surprise us. Our decisions do. Today, we’re talking about why.

Flooding remains one of the deadliest weather hazards in the United States. Yet most flood deaths and some flood damages are preventable, if we take the right steps.

Emergency preparedness is more than checklists and supplies. It is about making critical decisions under pressure and navigating the emotions that come with them. In this episode, we look at the essentials of evacuation planning, including how to identify clear triggers for leaving, choose multiple evacuation routes, create a family communication plan, and understand your sheltering options. We also cover special considerations for pets, medical needs, and disaster specific risks, along with the most common mistakes that delay safe evacuation.

But planning is only half the challenge. What happens when your spouse or family thinks you are overreacting? We discuss the deeper reasons behind resistance, from social stigma and financial anxiety to different risk tolerance levels.

If you were stuck on the side of the road, or hung up in stand-still traffic for three hours this summer, would you be comfortable… or suffering?

Most people assume they’re fine, until they’re not.

Krista sat alone for five hours due to an earlier wreck on one trip, and we sat for a couple of hours on another trip, We'll tell you about those adventures (or misadventures).

Today, we’re talking about how to prepare your vehicle before you start off on your road trip.

The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season is officially underway — and while forecasts call for 12 to 15 named storms, 5 to 9 hurricanes, and up to 3 major storms, there’s one number that matters most: one. It only takes one storm making landfall in your community to turn an ordinary week into a life‑changing event.

In this episode, we break down what you need to know, and what you need to do, before the peak of hurricane season arrives. From understanding your local evacuation zone to reviewing your insurance coverage, building a family emergency plan, and assembling a supply kit that can sustain you for at least seven days, we walk through practical, realistic preparation steps that make a real difference.

You’ll also hear why waiting until there’s a cone on the forecast map is one of the biggest mistakes people make, and why preparing as if help may not arrive for a week isn’t extreme, it’s smart.

Whether you live in a coastal evacuation zone, a low‑lying area, or simply want peace of mind this season, this episode will help you prepare calmly and confidently, before the shelves empty, the gas lines form, and the winds begin to rise.

Don’t wait for the warning. Start preparing now.

17 Multi Use Items That Earn Their Keep When Things Go Sideways

When things go wrong, it is rarely the big, expensive gear that saves the day. More often, it is the small, overlooked items that can handle multiple problems without missing a beat.

The challenge is that most people prepare for comfort instead of capability. They pack single purpose items that take up space but fall short when situations become unpredictable.

In this episode, we focus on 17 multi use items that consistently prove their value. These are the tools that help you adapt, improvise, and solve problems in real time.

Today we’re taking a hard look at the gaps that can quietly undermine even the most well-intentioned preparedness plans. Because the truth is, most failures in a crisis don’t come from a lack of effort, they come from blind spots. The things you didn’t practice, didn’t question, or assumed would just work out when the time came. And those gaps have a way of showing up at the worst possible moment.

We start by looking at some of the most common prepping mistakes. Things like going it alone without a support network, focusing too much on gear instead of skills, and failing to actually test your plans before you need them. We also talk about overlooked issues like poor gear maintenance, expired or disorganized supplies, and the risk of keeping everything in one place. These aren’t dramatic failures, they’re the small, avoidable problems that can snowball into bigger ones under pressure.

From there, we tackle some of the most persistent myths in the prepping world. The idea that help will always arrive quickly, that you can just “live off the land,” or that having a weapon is enough to carry you through a crisis. We also address the belief that disasters only happen to other people, and the flip side of that coin, the assumption that everything will instantly descend into chaos. The reality is more nuanced, and understanding that can make a huge difference in how you prepare.

We also dig into key lessons learned from real-world events. Adaptability is a big one, plans rarely unfold the way you expect, so having backups (and backups to your backups) is critical. Redundancy, reliable access to fuel and cash, and having a ready-to-go evacuation bag can all make the difference when time is tight. We also touch on the importance of mental resilience, since stress and uncertainty can wear you down just as fast as physical challenges.

Finally, we talk about the bigger picture: preparedness as an ongoing process. It’s not about getting everything perfect, it’s about learning, adjusting, and improving over time. Building connections with others, strengthening communication, and staying flexible in your approach can make you far more resilient than any single piece of gear.

15 Prepper Uses for Honey That You Should Know

Mentioned in this episode: Manuka Honey

Additional Manuka Honey Options

Download This Episode Here

Most preppers have a jar or two of honey tucked away in their supplies, but very few realize just how much this single item can actually do. In this episode, we break down 15 practical, proven uses for honey that cover everything from emergency medicine to food preservation to fire starting. If you think honey is just a sweetener, this episode is going to change the way you look at your supplies.

We start with the basics. Honey never expires when stored properly, and a single quart packs roughly 4,600 calories. That alone makes it one of the most efficient long-term food storage items you can put on a shelf. But the real value goes far beyond calories.

Honey is a legitimate medical tool. We cover how it treats wounds and burns, fights infection in ways that even modern hospitals rely on, suppresses coughs as effectively as over-the-counter medications, soothes digestive issues, promotes better sleep, and can even help maintain oral health when dental care is out of reach. These are not old wives' tales. They are backed by clinical research and real-world application.

We also get into how honey preserves other foods, how it ferments into mead for alcohol production, and how it works as a natural skin care solution when commercial products are unavailable. For those thinking about long-term grid-down scenarios, we discuss why honey is one of the most valuable barter items you can store. It is universally desired, impossible to produce without established hives, and never loses its value.

We even cover a lesser-known use for honey as a fire starting aid that most people have never considered.

Most people picture preparedness as expensive and overwhelming. A garage full of gear. Thousands of dollars spent. Months of planning.

In reality, the gap between no preparation and meaningful preparation is much smaller.

It comes down to having a handful of the right items and knowing how to use them.

In this episode, we walk through ten affordable, practical tools that cover the most likely emergencies the average person will face. These are not edge-case scenarios. These are everyday disruptions and accidents. Power outages. Injuries. Water issues. Situations where simple tools and basic knowledge can make a real difference.

We have also created a dedicated page where you can find all of these items in one place, along with additional recommendations and resources.

The resource page for all 10 items in today's episode.

Most preparedness advice is built around a healthy, mobile adult who can adapt on the fly. But real life looks different for millions of households. If you rely on dialysis, insulin, oxygen, CPAP, a ventilator, or time sensitive prescriptions, your safety is tied to systems that can and do break. This episode focuses on chronic illness emergency preparedness that works for real world disruptions, not movie scenarios. We are talking about interruption, not apocalypse, and how to build a plan that reduces fragility without turning your life into a constant drill.

A key concept we return to throughout the episode is simple: medical dependency is infrastructure dependency. Medical dependency planning means understanding what you rely on, then building layers of redundancy around the most likely failure points.

The theme is simple and consistent throughout the conversation: prepping is not about fantasy scenarios or expensive gear. It is about the everyday, practical items that prevent a manageable emergency from turning into a life changing disaster.

Today we wrap up a three part series on the basics of prepping. We’ve covered the planning and protection stages. And in this episode we are covering the provisions stage; what it takes to keep daily life functional when the power goes out, the grocery shelves are empty, or a winter storm traps you at home for days. This is what it takes to make that happen.

Preparedness isn’t about collecting gear, it’s about taking action. In this episode, we move beyond planning and focus on practical steps to secure your home and protect your family. We cover the non‑negotiable safety essentials every household should have, including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and NOAA weather radios. You’ll learn how to set up a safe room, build an effective emergency and trauma kit, and prepare for power outages. We also discuss staying warm without electricity and choosing safe backup heat options. Simple steps that turn preparation into real protection.

Preparedness isn’t a pile of equipment - it’s proof under pressure. Today we’re talking gear failure testing: how to find the parts that snap, clog, drain, or freeze before they cost you. We’ll also share a simple After Action Review format to capture what happened, what went wrong, and what to change next. Small tests now prevent big surprises later.

Cold doesn’t just make you miserable. It makes you sloppy, and that’s usually where people get into trouble.

Once you’re cold, you start cutting corners without even thinking about it. You skip a snack. You don’t drink anything. You leave your gloves off “just for a second.” You keep pushing because you’re like, “I just want to be done and back inside.”

Now toss in wind, wet clothes, being tired, or even a little alcohol and all those “it’s fine” choices pile up quick.

So today we’re talking about the two cold injuries that basically thrive in that exact mess: hypothermia and frostbite. What they look like at the start, why they’re sneaky, and what to do early so they don’t turn into a bigger deal.

Across much of the country, winter weather is disrupting power, travel, and daily life. For most people, nothing dramatic happened — conditions just kept getting worse.

Most emergency plans fail for one simple reason: they expect you to be calm, rested, and thinking clearly. But real emergencies don’t wait for your best day. In this episode, we discuss why fatigue silently sabotages even “good” plans, and how real preparedness works when you’re tired, stressed, and already running on empty.

If we’re blessed to live long enough, we’re going to grow old, and that can mean less strength, less mobility, and less mental bandwidth (especially under stress).

So the real filter for every prep becomes: “Can I do this on my worst day, injured, tired, or stressed?”

The good news is that you don’t need extreme fitness to be prepared for older age, or prepping in your senior years, you need a realistic plan that fits your real life.

In this episode, Mark and Krista dive into twelve essential categories of preparedness gear, not specific brands or fancy gadgets, but foundational items that every prepper should have ready. From water and food to cash and fire‑starting tools, this conversation is a practical guide for building or improving your emergency supplies.

They share personal experiences, listener insights, and even a few laughs (yes, including a very nerdy H₂O joke) while keeping things rooted in real‑world preparedness wisdom.

You’re halfway across the city when the power grid goes down. Streets jam. Transit stops. Your phone’s dead, and there’s no Uber, no train, no help coming. How long would it take you to get home — and what would you need to survive the trip?
Today, we’re talking about building an Urban Get‑Home‑Bag — your lifeline when city life stops working.

Imagine your power goes out tonight; no lights, no phone charger, no warning.

Could you navigate your home in the dark, cook a meal without electricity, or contact your family if the grid stayed down for days?

In this episode, we’re going into simple, no‑cost and low‑cost prepping steps that build real resilience, things you can do right now with what you already have.

From making a family code word to crafting DIY fire starters, you’ll learn how to get prepared without spending big, just planning smart.

When disaster hits, panic spreads fast, but calm is contagious. In this episode, Mark and Krista talk about one of the most powerful, and overlooked, preparedness skills: your mindset.

You’ll learn how to manage stress when life gets chaotic, what to watch for when anxiety sneaks up on you, and how to recognize when others might be struggling, too. They share simple, practical tools, like breathing techniques, building routines, and limiting information overload, that help you think clearly when it matters most.

Because when the power’s out, the storm’s raging, or everything seems uncertain, your most important prep isn’t in your backpack, it’s in your head.

We've all seen the memes of the 400 lb dude carrying a 400 lb bug out bag
Everything he could ever want in there. That's not at all practical.
Actually, many of us probably carry more in our bags than we need, and that adds weight, especially in a get home bag we might have to wear for an extended period of time.

Have you ever had the thought that What’s In Your Pockets Could Save Your Day or Your Life?

Do you wonder why some folks seem to have the answer to every crisis—whether it's a power outage, a busted zipper, or something more serious? It’s probably not luck—it’s their EDC, their everyday carry setup. Today, we’ll dig into the EDC items preppers actually rely on, from the basics they carry everywhere, to the small upgrades that can make a huge difference when things go sideways. Don’t worry, you won’t need cargo pants with 12 pockets—or a purse the size of a suitcase—to get prepared.

We're talking EDC Essentials for Real-World Emergencies

Prepping isn’t just about beans, batteries, and bottled water, it’s about raising resilient kids who know what to do when life gets bumpy.

In this episode, we’ll talk about making family prepping plans that actually include our kids, from toddlers to teens.

We’ll cover how to keep the conversation positive, how to give everyone a role (even if it’s “official snack taster” or “water bottle checker” or "flashlight holder"), and why prepping together can be one of the best gifts you give your children.

Last week we drew the line between smart prepping and hoarding disorder.

But what happens when prepping itself crosses a line you didn't even know existed?

Today, we're tackling the question nobody wants to ask: When does being prepared become a problem?

We'll also answer a listener question and clear up some bad advice she heard about getting started with prepping.

According to data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other crime statistics sources, Approximately 1 million residential burglaries are reported annually in the United States.

This averages out to about 2,740 burglaries per day nationwide.

Most burglaries last 8 to 10 minutes, with burglars looking for quick, easy-to-access valuables like cash, jewelry, firearms, and electronics.

Today, we are going to learn ways to make our stuff harder for burglars to find, as well as keeping nosy visitors from knowing what we have, as we talk about How to Hide Things in Plain Sight

"Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to the smell of smoke and the sound of alarms—would your family know what to do? Too many house fires happen where not everyone makes it out safely, often because they weren’t prepared.

Now, picture being stranded on the side of the road during a trip, miles from help, with no tools or plan to get moving again. During my time in law enforcement, I saw this happen far too often.

On today’s episode, we’re tackling both of these topics: how to prepare your home and family in case of a fire, and how to be ready for safe travel this summer.

You do keep the empties, don’t you?

After this episode, you’ll know many ways you can use them, and with a little imagination, you’ll discover many more.

Second, we are going to do a gear review on something that I have been carrying for a couple of months, and a new company we've found.

Third, and we get new listeners and new preppers all the time. Someone, in the survey, suggested that we cover the basics of prepping from time to time, and it just so happens that we have a listener question about that.

Last week we talked about being roadside ready by building a vehicle emergency kit. Today, we are going to talk about a kit for your home.

Ready dot gov recommends we be self sufficient for three days.
One govt official said, after a hurricane a few years ago, "The first 72 are on you."

In the early '60s, a Civil Defense program called, Grandma's Pantry asked everyone to be prepared for at least seven days.

Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee showed us that we may need a lot more than even seven days, but today we are going to talk about the 72 hour kit, or emergency kit, and then you can expand it to be self sufficient for two or three weeks if you wish.

Those three foundational elements are our threat assessment, our awareness, and our adaptability.

Too often we get some prepping gear, even learn to use it, then store it away in a bag or a cabinet. We forget that prepping often requires regular upkeep and periodic review of those items and our plans.

Today, we are going to talk about things that we should do on a quarterly basis to be sure our plans are up to date and our gear is ready to go. We'll answer the question, "What should preppers do on a quarterly basis to ensure we are prepared for an emergency?

We have two segments today.

First, In light of the recent outbreaks of tornadoes across Oklahoma and Kansas up through the Midwest to Michigan and Ohio, we are going to briefly review our Tornado safety plan.

Second, We are seeing a lot of questions and discussion on long-term water storage, especially what type of container to use.

Most of us don't have enough stored for a long term event, and we may not know the best storage methods, so we are going to discuss water storage containers on today's episode.

We've all seen the memes of the 400 lb dude carrying a 400 lb bug out bag
Everything he could ever want in there. That's not at all practical.
Actually, many of us probably carry more in our bags than we need, and that adds weight, especially in a get home bag we might have to wear for an extended period of time.
On today's episode we are going to discuss How To Practice "Minimalist Prepping" In Our Get Home Bags, and these principles can be practiced in our prepping at home as well.

We have two segments for you today.

After a natural disaster, there are several items that many people may not have on hand but may be needed for survival and recovery. We are going to use an exercise scenario of a category three hurricane. That's the first segment.

In the second segment, (starting at 31:25) we are going to address the warning that Texas authorities gave to their residents in the path of the total eclipse on April 8, 2024. It panicked some people, so we are going to dig into that.

It's important to study history and learn from the experiences.
The Great Depression, a challenging period in history, offers several lessons that can be applied to prepping.
This first segment is more about the hard times we may come to face, not about surviving some great apocalyptic event leaving us grid down for an extended times.
The 2nd segment details my recent bout with strep throat and an upper respiratory infection, which caused me to ponder how I would have fared in a grid-down situation. Third segment is some how-to's on keeping food long-term in the freezer.

Chris Weatherman, also known A. American, or Angery American, (not a typo) is the author of twenty-two books, including The Survivalist Series." His book, "Going Home" was one of the early books in the post apocalyptic genre, and it's a good read.

Chris is a life-long student of survival skills, a teacher and speaker, and an expert on survival skills.

This is an interview with him, where we discuss getting started in solar power, and a little bit about HAM radio and it's importance in prepper communications.

Preppers are often concerned about the effects that an EMP or a CME would have on our world.
CME is something over which man has no control.
EMP is a politicized weapon of war that would cause and immediate world war.

What if there is a weapon of far greater danger, and could be unleashed on a single country, and effectively destroy that country, without firing a shot?

Practical Prepping is making some major changes for 2024, and we reveal those on today's episode.

The podcast has had a Facebook page for a long time, but in order to increase interaction and help members become a community, and to explore prepping efforts on a deeper level, we have started a private Practical Prepping Facebook group.
You are invited, and here's the link: Practical Prepping Facebook Group.

We have reinstated our Twitter page (Now called X)
You can follow us here: @practicalprepp
We'll use this to share new episodes, important information (particularly weather info), news of interest, and things we believe you might like to see.

"Question of the month"For this segment, you can submit questions to be answered by listeners.
You can send your answers by a certain date. We'll share those answers in one segment.

January question of the month:How long have you been prepping and what caused you to start?We need your reply by January 24, 2024

A New Way To CommunicateSince the beginning we have had Email, and many of you have used that to communicate with us.
We have the Facebook page, and now we have the private Facebook Group, and the X page.
We've now added a way for you to leave a voice message. It's on the homepage, under or next to the Amazon link. (Don't worry, we edit so you'll sound great.) This is a great way to ask and answer questions

New for 2024, Practical Prepping will begin offering prepping personal coaching.Details to come...

Great Grandparents were preppers before prepping was cool. They just called it life. Their reason was to be prepared for the winter I order to live until they could harvest from the garden. We talk about some of the things they had to do, but more importantly we discuss some of the reasons the younger generations are resistant to prepping, and less inclined to be prepared.

Saturday, December 3, two days ago, an EF-3 tornado north of Nashville, killed six, injured many more, and left a path of destruction of around forty miles.
Even though tornadoes are not as common in December as they are in the Spring, they do happen.
Tornadoes can be incredibly destructive and pose a serious threat to life and property. It's critical that we have a plan in place and be prepared to act quickly when tornado warnings are issued.
So we want to review our tornado safety plan, and if we are missing something we can get ready before the spring tornado season.

The TV show “Doomsday Preppers” painted the prepping world in a very unfavorable light, and some people base their opinion of prepping based on that show.

I keep reading in various groups and forums where some people are saying that you must do this or that to be a prepper.

Well, I tell you that you don’t have to do any particular thing or have to have something specific to be prepared.

On today’s episode we are going to talk about who really is a prepper, and three levels of preparedness.

We are five weeks from the anniversary of the Interstate 95 fiasco.
On January 4th, 2022, fifty miles of I-95 in Virginia was shut down with one inch of snow after traffic was backed up after a traffic accident.
Thousands were stranded for twenty-seven to thirty hours.
Most of them were inadequately prepared for such an event.
We are already seeing snow storms across the northeast, and we want YOU to be prepared in case you are stranded in a show or ice storm.
If you live in the southwest or south Florida where you very rarely see show, there are still lots of items here that you could use in your vehicle’s emergency kit

These are days of threatened attacks by terrorist groups and the craziness of random shootings and physical assaults. We’ve seen shootings in big box stores and other public places, as well as on the streets. We all remember the Boston Marathon bombing.

It is also a time of parades, tree lightings, community gatherings, and a whole lot of shoppers filling malls and stores. Being at these events and in public places is ample reason to be taking personal safety precautions, and that is what we discuss on this episode, along with tips on identifying someone carrying a firearm.

We live in an ever-changing world and, sometimes, things change very quickly.
October 7th saw the world go from one war to two wars. Huge change.
Regardless of what the White House says, the economy is not good.
Some companies are having major lay-offs.
Real wages are down and interest rates have sky rocketed.
Inflation has caused us to have to spend much more just to pay for the necessities of life.
Utilities, transportation, food have all gone up.
One of our son-in-laws said this weekend. that their weekly grocery bill has gone up to three times what it was three years ago.

We have to adapt, but how do we adapt to rapidly changing events, not only in everyday life, but in an SHTF event? Let’s talk about that.

Many of you are, or will be researching, reading forums & blogs, listening to podcasts, and even joining prepping groups on social media.

Today we are going to talk about spending too much energy, money, and time on overhyped prepping topics.

Much of North America is currently experiencing extreme heat. Has been... and will be... for a while. Records for high temps have been broken in the history of record-keeping. Some blame climate change, others claim the earth has experienced far more extreme temps up or down in it's long history.

We need to take some precautions, we need to know the signs, the symptoms, and the treatment.

We've been reading and hearing about more food shortages to come, and we've noticed some of those shortages in the grocery stores.
You've noticed that the prices in the grocery store have risen far greater than the rate of inflation seen in other things.
We've done a lot of research and found some things we believe will become in short supply, and some things that we expect will see significant price increases.

Does your over-thinking lead to inaction?

"Paralysis by analysis" can be a prepper's folly.

Before a crisis, we should have our action plans figured out, and during a crisis, we must act quickly to make informed decisions, so failure (to act) is not an option. We'll dig in to that on today's episode.

Question: Do you have a survival axe? How about a machete, or even a pocketknife? Do you have a hatchet or a tomahawk? Why do you need more than one large bladed tool? We'll tell you in this episode.

Topic: AXES, MACHETES, HATCHETS, TOMAHAWKS, AND SHARPENING OUR BLADES

Hatchet:
A hatchet is small, lightweight axe, ideal for chopping small branches and splitting kindling. It is easy to carry and can be used with one hand.

Camp Axe
The camp axe is a medium-sized axe, more suitable for chopping larger branches and even splitting small logs. It is heavier than a hatchet and requires two hands to use.

Tomahawk:
The tomahawk is a very versatile tool, and can be used for chopping, cutting, and even throwing. It is lightweight and easy to carry.
The head of the tomahawk usually has a blade on one end, and a pick on the other. It is a VERY popular choice for survivalists because of its light weight, versatility, and the ability to use it as a defensive weapon.
Splitting Maul
This is a very heavy-duty axe designed for splitting firewood or large logs.
It is heavy, thick, has a wedge-shaped head that can deliver a powerful blow.

Tactical Axe
This is the traditional axe that is designed for self-defense and combat situations.
It typically has a sharp, pointed head and a sturdy handle.
Felling Axe:
Heavy axe used for chopping down trees.
It has a long handle and a sharp, curved blade that is designed to cut through wood fibers. This is available as a single-bit (single cutting edge) or a double-bit (two cutting edges) axe.

Broad Axe
This large, heavy axe is used for shaping logs and timbers.
It has a wide, flat blade that is designed to remove large amounts of wood with each stroke.

Machete
A machete is basically a long knife designed for chopping or hacking through heavy brush.

Here are some key things to look for in a machete:
Blade material
Get a high-quality blade made from durable materials such as carbon steel or stainless steel. A good blade will hold its edge well and resist rust and corrosion.

Blade length
Machete blades can be around 12 inches in length, or even over 24 inches.
Choose a length that is appropriate for your needs.
Blade thickness
The thicker the machete blade is, the more durable and better suited it will be for heavy-duty tasks such as chopping through thick vegetation.
A thinner blade will be lighter and easier to handle for more precise tasks.

Handle material
Look for a comfortable, non-slip handle that provides a good grip.
Handles made from materials such as rubber or textured plastic are ideal.
A Good Sheath
You’ll need a good sheath to protect your machete when not in use and to make it easier, and safer, to carry.
Look for a sheath made from durable materials that fits your machete securely.

Let’s touch on buying a good pocket knife.
Here are some things to consider when buying a pocket knife:

Blade Material
The blade material is one of the most important factors to consider when buying a good pocket knife.
Look for a knife with a high-quality steel blade that is durable and holds a sharp edge.
Some popular blade materials include stainless steel, carbon steel, and Damascus steel.

Blade Shape
Different blade shapes are designed for different tasks.
For example, a drop point blade is great for general use, and a Tanto blade is ideal for piercing and slicing.

Handle Material
Be sure that your knife is comfortable to hold and provides a good grip.
Some popular handle materials include wood, bone, and synthetic materials like G10 or m

Practical Prepping Podcast, Episode # 371, "Having A HAM Radio For SHTF Is Not Enough. You Have To Learn To Use It."
In this episode, we discuss how some preppers are purchasing Baofeng handheld radios, tossing them in the closet or bag, "just in case."
I can almost guarantee that those who do that will not be able to use it when the need arises. HAM radio has a learning curve and there are some things that need to be done in advance, and some information that will be needed to make that ham radio work when the Stuff hits the fan.
We say, and it's true, "Ham radio works when all else fails" but it only works if you know how to use it, and to do that, you really need to get your ham radio license.
It's really not that hard, and it is a LOT of fun.
Check the blog on the website for links to resources for getting your ham radio license.

It is never too early to discuss these issues with our family and those important to us.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode #265 "Ways To Filter And Purify Water, In SHTF Or During Water Emergencies."

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

Knowing how to filter and purify water is important not only for survival purposes, but water systems, from time to time, become contaminated and the water is unsafe to drink, and in some circumstances becomes dangerous to let it contact skin. It is a skill we need to know.

During commercial water system emergencies, authorities will issue one of several types of advisories:

“Boil water advisory -The water is not safe for consumption without boiling

“Do not drink water advisory" - Water can be used for bathing and toilets, Bottled water mush be used for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth

“Do not use water advisory” -Not only do not consume, but do not allow water w/o come in contact with skin

Filtering water is removing sediment, trash, debris, bugs, fish, and other solids
Purifying water is making it safe to drink
All water to be consumed must be purified.

Ways to filter water

  • Through a bandana or handkerchief
  • Through a coffee filter
  • Through a T shirt or thin piece of cloth
  • Through a sand and charcoal filter in a soda bottle. Remove the bottom, invert, few gravel near the neck to hold other materials, layer of crushed charcoal, topped by a layer of sand, make a small hole in the cap. Pour water in top, filters through, drips out the hole in the cap.
  • This method is good if you have a ready water supply, but it is slow.

Ways to purify water (make it safe to drink)

Boiling for a minimum of one minute, probably moreChemical purification* Bleach * Iodine

Water purification tabs Water filters

Personal water filters

Lifestraw 1,000 gallons

Sawyer mini 100,000 gallons

With these, you can drink straight from the source.
Filters sediments and purifies, but it is best to prefilter water that is extremely dirty, to prolong the filter life.

Purifying with UV Light

NOTE: Ultra Violet light will kill bacteria and viruses in water, but it will not remove any chemicals in the water

Water filtering and purification is a skill all people should have, especially preppers.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 262 , "Ten Essential Categories Of Items To Put In A Bug-Out-Bag Or A Get-Home-Bag." - A Rewind

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

In this episode we discuss: "Ten essential categories of items to put in a bug-out-bag or a get-home-bag."

Many new people have come into prepping after the year we've had, stocking up on food, water, toilet paper, and paper towels. Thats a good start.

(If you are just getting started, let me suggest you listen to episode #52 on getting started, and episode #1, where we tell our story and how we prep. Let me also encourage you to not get overwhelmed. You can't do it all at one time.)

Maybe you've decided you need to take it a step farther and build Bug-Out-Bag or Get-Home-Bag. We'll explain the difference between them.

Here are the ten essential catagories we cover:

  • Water
  • Food
  • Knives
  • Fire
  • Medical/First aid kit
  • Hygiene
  • Communications
  • Shelter
  • Navigation
  • Security

Drop us an email of find us on facebook and let us know what else you plan carry in your bag.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 231, "Tips For Saving Money"Please share this episode with friends, family, and on social media.

In this episode we discuss: Money Saving Ideas

Dump cable or satellite TV

  • Use a smart TV like a Roku Tv and a streaming service.
  • Prices vary greatly, so do your research.
  • Antenna TV is an option as well, and is necessary for local events and weather coverage.

Eliminate that daily $5 cup of coffeeSaves money & tastes better

Buying in bulkAt wholesale clubs and by sharing with family

Shopping at Dollar StoresName brands are the same
Store brands have significantly lower prices

In the grocery storeUsing coupons
BOGO deals
Divide larger quantities for later use.

Buy generic medications when possibleEspecially pain relievers and stomach medications

Combine car tripsSave gas by doing multiple errands in one trip.

Do regular maintenance on vehiclesVehicles will last longer, and you'll get better fuel mileage

Use cloths rather than paper towels"Bar mops" are bulk towels, usually a 12-14 inch square of white terry cloth save a lot of money compared to paper towels.

Eat at/from homeEating out can get expensive
Meal preps for the week are very popular

Utilize Ebay, Craigs List, FB market Place and thrift storesHere are some good sites:

  • Shopgoodwill.com
  • REI.com
  • Lowergear.com -
  • Outdoorsgeek.com
  • All of these sites offer used gear.

Do online price comparisons & shop locallyYou can see prices, compare, and call for availability.

Online shopping

  • Compare prices, not all sites prices the same.
  • Compare exact models, features.
  • Read reviews.
  • Utilize free shipping.

Utilize free cancellations for travel or subscription-based servicesPlans/needs can change-don't get stuck

Practical Prepping Podcast, Episode #227, "Cooking Without Electricity."

In many natural disasters, we often lose electricity, occasionally for extended time. This creates a challenge in preparing food. We must have alternatives for preparing food.

In this episode, we explore many options for cooking without electricity, and some creative ways to bake, fry, and slow cook.

We must stress that USING A GRILL INSIDE IS DANGEROUS AND CAN KILL!

A propane cook stove inside can be safely used for short periods in well ventilated areas.

Here are some of the options we discuss for alternative cooking methods when the power is off.

Butane stove, Rocket stove, alcohol stove, backpack stoves

Grills may be used for more than grilling:
Side burner Useage
Using a crock pot insert for slow cookIng
Baking
Frying
Roasting
Smoking

Turkey fryers are for more than frying turkeys
Cooking On Open Fires
Fireplace
Camp fires
With foil & Disposable pans

Heating Water
Turkey fryers
Open fires
Fireplaces

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

We're taking Mother's day off from recording to spend time with our family, so we are rewinding a very popular episode from last year, which we are sure you will enjoy.

In this episode we discuss recently discovered information about "keyword warrants" being used to compell Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft to turn over key word searches and user information to government agencies.

We also discuss the IRS proposal (in the three trillion dollar bill before congress) that will require banks to send all transactions from every bank account with $600 or more transactions per year.

We discuss a whole lot more including our children's education and even history.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 218, ""Having A Positive Attitude And A Survival Mindset, rewind"

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

In this episode we discuss: "Having A Positive Mental Attitude and Survival Mindset, And Dealing With Stress"

"A positive mental attitude will not let you do anything, but it will let you do everything better than a negative attitude will". - Zig Ziglar

" Whatever the mind can conceive, and believe, the mind can achieve" - Napolean Hill

"We become what we think about" - Earl Nightingale

We all know people who are so negative that we often hate to see them coming. We also know people who are so positive, to quote Ziglar again, they "would go after Moby Dick and take the tarter sauce with them."

In such a time when we need to use our preps or put our emergency plans into action, the stresses mount up. Stress can impede our performance in areas of memory, decision making, and multitasking, as well as increase fatigue.

Two basic types of stress: chronic stress and acute stress.

Chronic StressRemove the stress, if possible
Take some deep breaths
Take a break
Break things down in to smaller tasks
Count to 10 before speaking or responding
Take a break from news & social media
Develop Regular routines
Prepping relieves stress & worry
Make a plan and work your plan

Acute stressTrain to handle acute stress
Visualize Scenerios
The mind doesn't know the difference between visualization and the actual doing of a thing.
A Survival mindset says, "I am ready, I will prevail"
A survival mindset is the prepper mindset. We decide ahead of time that we will survive most any situation and that we will do what it takes to protect our family.

Decide ahead of time what you will do.
Acknowledge there will be stress
Plan for the stress
Plan a course of action

What are you willing to do to save your family or to save your own life?
Are you willing to turn others away when there is little food?
Are you willing to take another's life?

We decide ahead of time that we wont let the situation drag us down.
We prepare. We train.
We visualize scenarios so that when we get there we are prepared because in our minds, we have already been there.

Find ways to relieve your stress

Have some fun

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode #217, "Learning as you go, in life, as well as in prepping"

We should strive to improve each time we do something, in all areas of life.
Seek to increase your prepping knowledge regularly
Work to improve our prepping skills each week or each month

Understand That We Will Make MistakesDo not fear failure, or making mistakes, unless you are a bomb disposal technician.
Thomas Edison, when questioned about having unsuccessfully tried thousands of times to make a working lightbulb, replied, "I have not failed.... I've just found 10,000 ways that wont work"

Learn from our mistakesWhat went right?
What went wrong?
What can we do better next time?

Learn from the mistakes of othersWhat did they do wrong?
What could they have done to avoid the mistake?

Try doing old things in new waysWe're not reinventing the wheel here, but looking for little improvements in systems or procedures
ie: A better way to inventory your food or your water storage, or rain water collection

Remember that we can learn something from everyoneSometimes What/How to do
Sometimes What/How not to do

Doing a "hot wash," "post mortem," or "after-action" of an event or practice and make notesWhat did we do right? Or what went right?
What did we do wrong? Or What went wrong?
Analyze the information
And Develop a plan

Commit to the learning process !Learn something every day
Read something every day
Books, journals, website, articles, magazines, forums, social
media groups (may have to filter thru the clutter)
Even if only for a few minutes each day
Watch/listen to something once or twice each week
Youtube videos, podcasts, especially while driving

RecappingLearn as you go
Don't fear mistakes
Figure out what you did right or did wrong
Try doing old things in new ways
ie: Fire starting, water filtration,
Commit to the learning process

Do these things and you will be light years ahead down the road.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 212, "Situational Awareness, A Necessary Skill To Use In Everyday Life."
Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

Do you ever just watch people?

Maybe you see some of the same problems we have observed. People have their face in their phones and don't pay attention. We've seen them step into traffic, run into poles, and one even fell into a fountain, all because they were not paying attention.

Situational awareness can be broken down into three components, observation, comprehension, and projection. We explain each one, and how they fit together to help you make good decisions based on good information, and thereby keep your family and yourself safe.

In this episode, we discuss situational awareness in a number of scenarios. Here's a few we discuss: eating in restaurants, in parking lots, exiting businesses, malls, doctors offices, etc., and returning to your vehicle. We discuss getting gas, Using ATMs, returning home, how to tell and what to do if you are being followed.

Situational awareness principles apply to daily life as well as SHTF situations.

Keep your head on a swivel, stay aware of your situation, and make good decisions based on good information.

Stuff happens. Stay prepared!

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 204, "Easter 2022"

Krista shares the ultimate prep, which is the most important decision one can make; trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.
The whole reason believers celebrate Easter, also called Resurrection Sunday, is because Jesus came to be our Savior, our Passover Lamb, to pay the penalty of death for our sins, and His resurrection from the grave proves His Lordship and power to save souls, not only for our eternal life in Heaven, but for a relationship with Him in our lives today.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode #184, "How We Can Deal With All That Is Going On In The World Today" This episode features one of Krista's original songs from her album, "I've Got A Joy" - rewind

This episode is brought to you by Covenant Music and features Krista Lawley singing the title cut from her album, "I've Got A Joy."

Worldwide we have come through a very hard two years:
We have experienced Covid Lockdowns, School closures, Economic repression, Political upheaval, Skyrocketing unemployment, Business closings, Rising prices, Declining mental conditions, Mass depression, and Increasing suicides.

Now there is war in Ukraine with the threat of the use of nuclear weapons.

How do we come to a point of believing that God really is in control, that He will carry us through this?

We can Praise, Pray, or Meditate

For Christians, praise is worship
Prayer connects us with our creator
Meditation means "To ponder"
Who we are, our strengths & weaknesses,
Our Core beliefs, life's purpose,
Lessons learned,
And our priorities

We end todays episode with one of Krista's original songs,
"I've Got A Joy"

If you would like to hear more of Krista's music, you can find her on YouTube, just search for Krista Lawley.

You can order her CD's by emailing her at: krista@covenantmusic.us

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 183, "Could Prepping Become Illegal? Can The Government Really Take your Preps?"

Please share this important episode.
https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

Today's Topic: Could Prepping Become Illegal? Can The Government Really Take Our Preps?

The answer is "It possibly could" become illegal
And "YES", they could legally take our resources

This topic is easily verified and much research has gone into the episode.

Listen for:Sept 8, 1950, Eisenhower enacted the Defense Protection Act
Since 1950, definition of "National Defense" has been expanded

June 1994, then President Bill Clinton signed EO12919NATIONAL DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL RESOURCES PREPAREDNESS
It allows the Feds to seize all food and water resources
from public and private sectors

Jan 3, 2016 - then President Obama signed EO 13606NATIONAL DEFENSE RESOURCES PREPAREDNESS Act

The language in the executive order encompasses control over a broad range of resources including:

“(1) all commodities and products capable of being ingested by either human beings or animals
(2) all forms of civil transportation
(3) all forms of energy
(4) all usable water from all sources
(5) health resources
(6) military conscription”
under both emergency and non-emergency conditions!

It covers food resources, facilities, livestock, veterinary resources, plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment and commercial fertilizer;

We cover some things that can we do as individuals

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 167, "The Top Five Antibiotics To Fight The Most Common Infections."

Antibiotics will be critical in long-term SHTF situations.

The info is shared from www.foodstoragemoms.com. Linda Loosil, author.

DISCLAIMER: Ms. Loosil is not a doctor or nurse, but has implemented medical info and advice from her own physician, and has researched numerous medical peer-reviewed articles.

TOP 5 ANTIBIOTICS, and what they affect:

  1. AMOXICILLIN -- strep throat, dental infections, sinus infections, bronchitis bladder infections
  2. CEPHALEXIN (KEFLEX) -- skin/staph infections, bladder, bronchitis, sty, chronic conditions
  3. CIPROFLOXACIN (CIPRO) -- bladder inhaled anthrax
  4. LEVOFLOXACIN (LEVAQUIN) -- pneumonia, diverticulitis, severe sinus infections
  5. AZITHROMYCIN (Z-PACK) -- strep, sinus, bronchitis, tonsilitis

Ms. Loosil's doctor allows her to purchase antibiotics directly from his office at a significant savings, and can be dispensed I a 90-day supply. Her doctor stated that most prescription antibiotics are effective 5-10 YEARS after their expiration dates.

Again, antibiotics will be critical in long-term SHTF situations. We need to include them in out medical plan and our preps.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 167, "Prepping On A Five Dollars Per Week Budget."

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

In this episode we discuss a plan for prepping on a very limited budget of five dollars per week.

Sponsor: Practical Prepping For Everyday People.

This is an example of a thirteen week plan. You make it what you wish. It is designed to get you started, and get you stocked up on food.
It is flexible in that you can change it to suit your need.
It is also scaleable to whatever budget you have.
We'd love to hear your feedback.

Do not use money necessary for other obligations!
Do not go into debt for prepping!
Get a side hustle
Part time job

Most folks can find $5 per week
1 less pack of cigs, if you smoke
1 less cup of that $5 coffee
2 less fast food trips per month

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

In this episode we discuss the categories in prepping for which we need to be prepared, in order to be balanced

Practical PreppingWebsite: www.practicalprepping.info
Email at info@practicalprepping.info

TODAY'S TOPIC: CATEGORIES OF PREPPING

In a grid down SHTF situation:
If you have a hundred guns & a million rounds of ammo,
but no food & water, you will likely die

If you have five years of food & water, but no first aid
or security, you will likely die.

We must be balanced, and address every catagory.
Start broad - what will be needed in every event
Then narrow down to the specific threats
Water & food necessary in all events
Faraday cage useful only in EMP/CME
Much lower probability of occurrence

Hereare the catagories we believe preppers should address.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 122, "A Tribute To Our Veterans"This episode is presented uninterrupted and commercial free.

We've included a link for veterans who may be struggling with any issues. Here's the link:
https://nvf.org/veteran-resources/

In 1918, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, an armistice, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in World War I, then known as “the Great War.”

One year later, in November 1919, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day, marking the end of the conflict.

In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became known as Veterans Day.

The first "Veteran's Day Parade" was in Birmingham, Al, Nov 11, 1919. It continues today, sanctioned by the National Veterans Day Foundation.

Veterans often experience physical, financial, and emotional setbacks, even trauma. PTSD is common in varying degrees of intensity. If you, or someone you know, is struggling with issues, there is help available. Here's the link:

https://nvf.org/veteran-resources/
National Veterans Foundation

They are a great source for help with medical issues, housing, therapy, employment, support dogs, rehabilitation.

In closing, thank a veteran today, and be sincere. These incredible men and women laid it all out on the line, not for themselves, but for others....We are those "others".

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

Also, check out the redesigned website. We have added a blog for announcements, updates, and listener interaction.

Our topic is, "Why a lever action may be a good choice for SHTF"

The lever action is a versatile rifle, with a very dependable action.
It has probably killed more game than all other rifles combined, and is available in a wide choice of calibers

Thety are fun to shoot, are good hunting rifles, and I wouldn't discount it's "grey man" worth, either. In a time when Black Rifles attract too much attention or are out and out banned, the lever gun and its wheeled partner just might fly under the radar.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 107, "We Discuss, And 'bust,' Six Myths About Prepping And Preppers"

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

Prepping Is about more than storing food and water, stocking guns, ammo, tacticool gear, bunkers, and giant bug out vehicles, or living off the land.
Its about being prepared for life's "normal" emergencies.

In this episode, we "bust" six myths some people believe are true.

Myth # 1: All you need is food and waterTruth: Prepping Is about more than storing food and water

Myth # 2: All preppers buy into conspiracy theoriesTruth: Most preppers are normal, very stable, regular people.

Myth # 3: You need lots of guns, ammo, and tacticool gear.Truth: While many preppers are gun owners, many are not. Prepping is about more than stocking guns, ammo, and tactical gear, unless you believe zombies or aliens from space will be the issue

Myth # 4: To be a prepper, you have to have a bug out location in the boonies and be able to go off-gridTruth: No, you really don't.

Myth # 5: You have to have a big, older model, bug-out vehicleTruth: Prepping does not require a go-anywhere bug-out-vehicle

Truth # 6 You don't have to be crazy to be a prepper.Truth: But it helps!

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode #102 "Part Two: Understanding Firearms, Their History, And Their Importance For Being Prepared"

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

Let's talk more about firearms, especially prepper firearms.
This is part 2 of a 2 part series.
In this episode we will give you the five firearms for practical prepping and the reasons why.

Even if you believe firearms are not for you, listen to the whole episode. It will make you more knowledgeable, and who knows, it might help you see things differently.

First: If you believe the world is about to experience the zombie apocalypse, or a total societal colapse is about to occur and there will be marauding hordes going house to house, then AR-15s or AK-74s (semi version AK-47) is probably the first firearms you should aquire, and a ton of ammo and magazines, and a whole lot of first aid supplies.

Two questions consistently come up.
"What firearm should I buy?" and "If you could have only one firearm for SHTF what would it be?"
We'll answer both of those questions.

Our recommendations, and the order we believe they should be acquired are:

1st Is a Personal defense Handgun

  • Must Be Concealable
  • Needs to be Carried on-body
  • Needs to be Comfortable to carry
  • Need a Quality holster
  • Need a Quality gun belt for support
  • Thebeltman.net
  • Crossbreed.com
  • Gunbelts.com
  • Get some firearms training
  • Tiger McGee, ShootRight Firearms Academy

2nd Is a .22 caliber rifle

3rd Is a Pump shotgun in 12 or 20 ga

4th Is a Scoped Centerfire Bolt Action Hunting Caliber Rifle

5th Is a Defensive rifle

  • In the AR or the AK platform
  • Stock of ammo and extra magazines, cleaning kit, and gun oil

The decision to own or not own firearms is a personal choice, and we support your decision, but if you are somewhat new to firearms and you want a well rounded approach to prepper firearms, we think this is a good way to go.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 101, "Understanding Firearms, Their History, And Their Importance To Being Prepared"

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

Let's talk firearms!
This is part 1 of a 2 part series on firearms...."Understanding Firearms, Their History, And Their Importance To Being Prepared"
We are going to release the second episode tomorrow rather than waiting another day.

There are actually many reasons to own a firearm.
Hunting, collecting, personal defense, and even prepping for SHTF.

There's an old quote that says, "God created man. Samuel Colt made them equal." That is especially true if a petite 90 lb lady is being attacked by a burly 240 lb thug intent on harming her. It's also true for the older of us, or if we are faced with multiple attackers.

Question often comes up, "What firearm I should buy?"
We'll address that in this series, and give you five firearms we believe everyone should have, and the order in which they should be acquired, but the choice is yours.

We look at a Short History of firearms, from the flintlock to the machine gun & their usage which will help us better understand where we are today.

In tomorrow's episode we will answer the questions about which firearms most preppers should have. The answer is still, "it depends" but we'll talk about some specific firearms and make some recommendations.

The choice to own or not own firearms is still a personal choice.
The choices you make depend on what you believe may happen after SHTF. We expect to survive and continue with life, while protecting our family and putting food on the table.

We expect the need for firearms in catastrophic SHTF event will be much more likely to be in providing food and personal defense than it will be in fighting the unwashed hoards, but..... we ARE prepared if the alien zombie frogs or the fire breathing ninja turtles show up.

Episode #100, "Gun Control, and What Will They Do Next?
'They,' Being The Government."

This isn't so much a political discussion, as it is a statement of "fact checked" historical records of gun control laws, as well as statements by current and recent politicians and candidates in reference to their positions on gun control.

One goal of the far left has, for years, been to eliminate private ownership of firearms. History shows this to be a very bad idea. The Jewish Holocaust is a good example.

Eliminating private firearm ownership is NOT about safety, crimes, or even death. Gun control is not about controlling firearms, it is about controlling people!

In some states law abiding citizens must apply for and obtain a "FOID" card, or Firearms Owners Identification Card in order to even own a firearm.

In other words, we will "have to have permission of the government to exercise our God-given right as guaranteed by the US Constitution." What if we had to have their permission before we can exercise our rights under the 1st, 4th, or 5th amendments

In this episode we look at a number of statements they have made, many of which reveal their long term goals, what they want to enact in the near future, and why.

Things We Can Do

  • Join the NRA at NRA.org
  • Stay informed
  • Vote in every election
  • Get involved

Run for political office, or encourage good, 2nd amendment supporters to run.
Write To Your Congressional Representatives and Senators. Urge them to vote against any and all gun control proposals.
Email them
Call them

Our rights guaranteed by our constitution are under assault.
The second amendment is under assault!
Legal firearm owners are under attack.
The government says we don't need firearms.Ask the Native Americans how that worked.
Ask the Jews how that worked in the 40s.

An unarmed populous becomes a controlled populous.
If they are ever successful, we will all lose most of our freedoms and become subjects of the government.

If the second amendment falls, what is to keep the first amendment, or the fourth amendment, or the fifth amendment, or the fourteenth amendment from being taken away?

  • I can see it now, our houses being searched just because the government wants to search.
  • I can see Americans being beaten or tortured into making confessions.
  • I can see Americans being held as political prisoners, or jailed because of our religious beliefs, our political beliefs, or we don't conform to the narrative or mandates.

How do you want to live, with liberty, or as a subject of the government?

Patrick Henry, in his greatest speech said, "Give me liberty, or give me death."

What will it be?

In episode # 99, we are discussing "Bug out vehicles, Including After EMP Or CME"

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

People romanticize bug-out vehicles, especially the idea of Mad Max type vehicles.

There are actually some great memes out there. My favorite: 70s Ford Bronco, open top, with sandbags, jerry cans of fuel, Stinger missle loaded in the back, with a mounted 50 cal on the roll bar, and a mounted SAW machine gun for the driver.

Lot of fun to imagine having one of those, but unless the Zombies or Aliens attack, its is probably more novelty than anything else.

Since there is always a possibility of having to bug out, and some times that we really must bug out, lets discuss some considerations for bug out vehicles:

  • What is the event that is leading you to bug out?
  • Where are you going?
  • How much do you need to carry?
  • How far do you need to go?
  • What will driving conditions be?

"General" bugging out for wild fires, floods, weather events, volcanoes, earthquakes, etc, just use what vehicle you have.

After an EMP or CME
Conflicting opinions by leading industry experts on what actually would happen to modern vehicles in the event of an EMP. Studies differ, and it partly depends on the distance from the blast, and the intensity of the blast, but it might range from a total knockout to shutting down but being able to restart.

During Civil unrest
Use what you have, take what you can, and GO

Society is in the toilet

  • Evaluate the risk
  • Are you safer leaving than staying?
  • Only criteria to the decision.
  • Decide when to leave
  • Early morning may be better than afternoon
  • Decide what to take
  • FIRST PRIORITY is to stay alive and not be hurt

Zombies - you'll need something with a substantial bumper and good wipers ;-)

Alien Invasion - We don't have an answer for this one.
They can travel at the speed of light and shoot those green blob death rays.
"Proceed at your own risk."

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 95, "We Should Be Layering Our Food Storage"Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

After a disaster, SHTF, job loss, economic collapse, or an alien zombie frog invasion we will still have to eat, so we must be storing food and water. Those food preps should be "layered."

In this episode, we explain what those layers are, why you should do it, and how, especially focusing on the middle layer and how you can make food buckets of these items.

Layering food preps

  1. Short term storage, lasts for 1-3 years in storage
  2. Longer term storage, lasts for 5-15 years depending on storage
  3. Extremely long term, 25+ years of storage life

Short-term storage - lasts for 1-3 years in storage
Canned vegetables, canned meats, pasta, boxed meals (mac & cheese), frozen foods
Items that we buy two extra on every grocery trip
These are the foods that we eat regularly and will be rotating in and out of our food pantry as needed to maintain freshness.

Long termed food storage - lasts for 5-15 years depending on storage
It's a little hard to store more than one year of short-term foods without having some expire. term and extreme storage foods let us build our food preps to much longer than a year without having to rotate them.
Building long-term food buckets of rice, beans, and pasta lets you share with others in dire circumstances

  • Flour
  • Salt
  • Sugar
  • Honey
  • Peanut butter
  • Dry beans/peas
  • Rice
  • Various spices, sauces, and salt alternatives

All of these items will store well in food buckets if kept air-tight, out of direct sunlight, and protected from rodents.
We don't suggest that you build food buckets or buy twenty-five year foods until you have three months minimum worth of food and water stored up. Then, and only then, should you start building up some long-term storage foods.

Extreme long term storage (25+ years of storage life)
These are the twenty-five year storage foods, such as freeze dried foods, dehydrated foods, and powdered products like eggs and milk.
The whole point is that regardless of what happens, you will have to eat! It really doesn't matter how you do it, just properly store food and water. The best way is by layering.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 94, "Understanding Inflation And Hyperinflation, And How We Can Prepare For A Potential Crisis,"

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

Reading the title of this episode, some might believe that we are just peddling fear. Far from that, we are peddling PEACE.

One, we are not saying that we will see hyperinflation in first world countries; in fact, we have our doubts that we will.

However, we ARE seeing inflation rates rising, and we know that it is going to rise for a while. How long and how high we do not know.

We do know that God is still in control, and that He teaches us to be prepared, and that brings us peace..

Inflation rates over the last 15 months:
May 2020 - 0.12%
Nov 2020 - 1.17%
Mar 2021 - 2.62%
Apr 2021 - 4.16%
May 2021 - 4.99%
Jun 2021 - 5.39%
Jul 2021 - 5.4%

Current inflation rates are far from the hyper inflation rate of 50% or more for a month, or even the double digit rates of the 1970s, but are still putting the crunch on the economy, and on families that can least afford it.

While June 2021 US rate was at 5.4%, individual items rose dramatically.
Gasoline 45 %
Fuel Oil 44 %
Natural gas. 15 %
Used vehicles rose 45 %

Understand the basics of inflationMore money competing for less product causes prices to rise. That is inflation. Your money has less buying power.

Now, if the inflation is not bad enough, analysts analysts seem to agree that there will be shortages in the food supply this fall and winter.

Grocery stores are ordering like crazy, and U.S. food distributers cannot fill all their orders. Production is down. The workforce is down. Crop production is down.

What does that mean for the prepper with a limited budget?

We can purchase things today that we know we will need at some future time. Food is a good example. We know we will need food next week, next month, next year, and so on.

A good hedge against inflation for the everyday-Joe-practical-prepper is to pre-purchase long shelf-life food and supplies we know we will need later.

With this in mind, we have put together a list of things that the everyday-Joe-practical-preppers can invest in now and save money later, OR things that may not be available in a period of hyperinflation.

FIRE

Matches, lighter, charcoal, lighter fluid, commercial Tinder

HEAT

Wood stoves, Firewood, Generators, Supplimental natural gas space heaters, Propane heaters, Kerosene hearters
Buy & store extra fuel

LIGHTING

Flashlights, LED lanterns, Propane lanterns, Oil lamps, Candles and Batteries

FOOD and food prep items

WATER

CLEANING SUPPLIES

PERSONAL HYGIENE ITEMS

FIRST AID SUPPLIES

OTC MEDICATIONs

If you anticipate the time will come to barter, (and with hyperinflation it will) then store some items for that purpose.

Episode # 93, "Lessons Learned From Hurricanes"

For more information on being prepared for hurricanes, you might consider listening to these previous podcast episodes:

  • Episode # 62, "Prepping For Hurricanes And Other Weather Related SHTF."
  • Episode # 34, "Preparing For Hurricanes"
  • Episode #53, "Dealing With Heat Related Illnesses"

In a news briefing just ahead of hurricane Ida, a government official said, "the first 72 hours are on you"

Another said, "If you call 911, we can't help you"

That's why we've say stay prepped for a minimum of a week on your own, but a month is even better.

Lessons:

Help Isn't coming

  • No EMS
  • No Firefighters
  • No Law enforcement
  • The time comes when it is just too dangerous to put personnel in harms way

If you ignore an evacuation order, do you really have a right to ask someone else to risk their life to come to you when you should have evacuated?

When help does come, it will be delayed.

  • They must triage & prioritize
  • Why proficiently in first aid is so important
  • Why having a well stocked first aid kit is so important
  • Why storing medications is so important

People get displaced

  • Have an evac plan
  • Motels get filled to the north
  • May be better to go east or west by 100 miles
  • Take a weeks worth of clothes when evacuating, extra shoes, at least one of which is sturdy work or walking shoes/books

Some people lose everything

  • Preps should be split to store in several areas, even if it is two areas inside the same house, or in the house and the garage

The power goes out

  • Generator
  • Have enough fuel stored for generator to last several weeks.
  • Run generators outdoors only
  • Carbon monoxide KILLS !
  • Cannot be used indoors, in the garage, or below open windows.
  • Safest to have a battery operated CO detector nearby
  • Batteries & inverter for CPAP and life sustaining equipment

Keep a Lights out kit

  • Flash lights
  • LED lanterns
  • Headlamps
  • Glow sticks

Plan for aux heat & cool

  • Propane heater for cold weather
  • Window unit A/C w/ generator for hot weather

Food delivery stops for a while

  • No pizza delivery, no Steak Out, no Grub Hub
  • Be prepared to either cook food with a non-electric method, or have plenty of no prep needed foods.

Food may not be available

  • Grocery stores are closed due to damage
  • There are power outages

Cash becomes king

  • Credit/debit cards may not work
  • ATMs can go down due to power outage, Internet outage, or being empty.

Plan for mosquitoes

  • There is a lot of standing water after hurricanes. Be prepared with insect repellant.

Communications are interrupted

  • Cable TV gets interrupted
  • Cellular network are quickly overloaded
  • Text msg uses less bandwidth and may work when voice doesn't
  • Have a battery operated AM/FM for local information, with extra batteries.
  • It's a good time to have ham radio, if you have the license.
  • Check out episodes #16 & #25

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode #92, "Learning as you go, in life, as well as in prepping"

We want to strive to improve each time we do something, in all areas of life.
Seek to increase your prepping knowledge regularly
Work to improve our prepping skills each week or each month

Understand That We Will Make MistakesDo not fear failure, or making mistakes, unless you are a bomb disposal technician.
Thomas Edison, when questioned about having unsuccessfully tried thousands of times to make a working lightbulb, replied, "I have not failed.... I've just found 10,000 ways that wont work"

Learn from our mistakesWhat went right?
What went wrong?
What can we do better next time?

Learn from the mistakes of othersWhat did they do wrong?
What could they have done to avoid the mistake?

Try doing old things in new waysWe're not reinventing the wheel here, but looking for little improvements in systems or procedures
ie: A better way to inventory your food or your water storage, or rain water collection

Remember that we can learn something from everyoneSometimes What/How to do
Sometimes What/How not to do

Doing a "hot wash," "post mortem," or "after-action" of an event or practice and make notesWhat did we do right? Or what went right?
What did we do wrong? Or What went wrong?
Analyze the information
And Develop a plan

Commit to the learning process !Learn something every day
Read something every day
Books, journals, website, articles, magazines, forums, social
media groups (may have to filter thru the clutter)
Even if only for a few minutes each day
Watch/listen to something once or twice each week
Youtube videos, podcasts, especially while driving

RecappingLearn as you go
Don't fear mistakes
Figure out what you did right or did wrong
Try doing old things in new ways
ie: Fire starting, water filtration,
Commit to the learning process

Do these things and you will be light years ahead down the road.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode #86, "Ways To Filter And Purify Water, In SHTF Or During Water Emergencies."

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

Knowing how to filter and purify water is important not only for survival purposes, but water systems, from time to time, become contaminated and the water is unsafe to drink, and in some circumstances becomes dangerous to let it contact skin. It is a skill we need to know.

During commercial water system emergencies, authorities will issue one of several types of advisories:

“Boil water advisory -The water is not safe for consumption without boiling

“Do not drink water advisory" - Water can be used for bathing and toilets, Bottled water mush be used for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth

“Do not use water advisory” -Not only do not consume, but do not allow water w/o come in contact with skin

Filtering water is removing sediment, trash, debris, bugs, fish, and other solids
Purifying water is making it safe to drink
All water to be consumed must be purified.

Ways to filter water

  • Through a bandana or handkerchief
  • Through a coffee filter
  • Through a T shirt or thin piece of cloth
  • Through a sand and charcoal filter in a soda bottle. Remove the bottom, invert, few gravel near the neck to hold other materials, layer of crushed charcoal, topped by a layer of sand, make a small hole in the cap. Pour water in top, filters through, drips out the hole in the cap.
  • This method is good if you have a ready water supply, but it is slow.

Ways to purify water (make it safe to drink)

Boiling for a minimum of one minute, probably moreChemical purification* Bleach * Iodine

Water purification tabs Water filters

Personal water filters

Lifestraw 1,000 gallons

Sawyer mini 100,000 gallons

With these, you can drink straight from the source.
Filters sediments and purifies, but it is best to prefilter water that is extremely dirty, to prolong the filter life.

Purifying with UV Light

NOTE: Ultra Violet light will kill bacteria and viruses in water, but it will not remove any chemicals in the water

Water filtering and purification is a skill all people should have, especially preppers.

Lots of folks enjoy traveling in the spring and summer, but just as many prefer traveling during the fall and winter. Then there is the time we spend daily or weekly in our vehicles. Many of us spend a lot of time in our vehicles, and there is always the possibility we will encounter some kind of issue along the way.

It could be as simple as a dead battery or a flat tire, or as serious as coming upon a wreck with injuries, before professional help has arrived.

"Building a Vehicle Kit "

Much of this will be in a GHB (get home bag), but it's a good idea to make a separate vehicle kit, because as hard as we try to avoid it, we will eventually leave home without our GHB.

We regularly move between personal vehicles and work vehicles and sometimes bags get left in the other vehicle.

It may be a good idea to build a vehicle kit for each vehicle. It will be a backup to your GHB, and will offer beneficial redundancy if you find yourself without your GHB.

As with any other kit or bag you build, it is totally customizable to fit your individual needs. You decide what to carry depending on your needs, skills, and abilities.

We discuss items to store in each of these categories...

  • Food
  • Water
  • First-aid / Trauma Kit
  • Items for making repairs
  • Survival items, if you have room

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 84 "Failures In Preparedness, and Specific Prepping Catagories"

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

There are times that, if we are not careful, we set ourselves up for failure. We must avoid preparedness failures as we prepare to survive whatever may come.

In this episode we look at a number of prepping failures we need to avoid:

Not having a plan...

Ben Franklin - "Failing to plan is planning to fail!"
Not having a preparedness plan is planning to fail at prepping.

Lack of organization...Taking a shotgun approach, and not having a plan.
A lack of organization makes preparedness much more difficult and leaves holes in your prepping. Murphy's Law says you will find out about those holes at the most inopportune time.

General catagories for prepping...

  • Food/water
  • Shelter
  • Fire
  • Security and Defense
  • Communications
  • Lighting
  • Personal finance
  • Skills

Buying gimmicky, low quality gear...Buying someone else's idea of "must have" prepper gear, or buying low quality gear based solely on price often leads to disappointment, and is a prepping fail.

Thinking that buying food, water, and gear is enough...Nothing could be further from the truth. We need some skills, and we need a plan. To do otherwise can lead to a prepping fail.

Not practicing with their gear...

Having it and not knowing how to use it leads to failure. Practice your skills often!

Getting overwhelmed...

When we start out, we all realize we are not where we want to be. We all feel overwhelmed at times. We end up trying to do too much at once. Make a plan. Break things down into manageable tasks. Sets some goals, and work your plan. This will help you avoid becoming overwhelmed.

Not being consistent...

Many got started after covid, but stopped prepping when they felt the crisis had passed. Another crisis will come.

Procrastination...
L
isten to episode # 77 "dealing with procrastination"
Caused by lack of self discipline, lack of priority, or just choosing to do something else, we MUST get started and we must be consistent if we are going to succeed.

To avoid preparedness failures:

  • Make a plan and work your plan
  • Don't get overwhelmed
  • Take it one step at a time
  • Be consistent
  • Spend wisely
  • Learn skills and practice them
  • Don't get discouraged

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 83 "Stocking And Storing Medications For SHTF"

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

Situations could arise at some point in the future when we become our own first responders, and our own medical care.

For that reason we need to maintain a supply of medications to be used after SHTF, so we are going to cover a list of medications on which to stock up, and how to properly store those medications.

This is not medical advice, and we encourage you to do your own research and determine what items you may need for yourself and your family.

These may not be the only medications you might need to stock, and this is not all of the medications on our list, but in the interest of time we will cover the basics. We'll put the full list on the website.

Here's a suggested list, in alphabetical order.

What to stock

  • Activated charcoal
  • Antacid, omeprazole (Prilosec), Ranitidine (zantac), cimetidine (Tagamet)

Antibiotics -
Your Dr may give you a prescription, but here are antibiotics many preppers store. We certainly do not recommend using fish antibiotics regularly, but they could be lifesavers after SHTF when no others are available.

  • Ampicillan
  • Amoxicillin "Fish Mox"
  • Cephalexin "Fish Flex"
  • Cipro "Fish Flox", or "Fish Flox Forte"
  • Doxycycline
  • Penicillin "Fish Pen"

IF you choose to obtain and stock fish antibiotics, obtain usage information and a dosage chart.

  • Antibiotic creams and ointments
  • Anti-diarrhea
  • Antihistamine
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Cold & flu medications
  • Decongestants, pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine
  • Hydrocortisone cream,
  • Laxatives, Tablets & Suppositories
  • Oral anesthetics
  • Pain relievers,
  • Sore throat medications,

How to store medications

  • Greatest killers of medication are heat, light, air, & moisture
  • Store at 68°F - 77°F
  • Light resistant bottles
  • Keep air tight and away from humidity

Where not to store

  • Bathroom
  • Humidity
  • Lessen potency
  • Deterioration
  • Above or Near the stove
  • Heat deteriorates
  • In the car
  • Within the reach of children & pets

Recommendations

  • Leave in original, sealed packaging, if possible, especially blister pack
  • Yellow or dark bottles protect from light
  • Throw out the cotton
  • You can add desiccant, silica gel, or vacuum seal to protect further from humidity
  • Label with contents and expiration date

Title: Dealing With "Stinging Critter" Stings

Bees, Wasps, Hornets, Yellow Jackets, Horse Flies, Bumblebees, Fire Ants, and Scorpions sting, and Spiders bite which hurts like a sting.

The common reactions to the stings are pain, swelling, redness around the bite, fever, and numbness.

Be aware that some people are highly allergic to certain stings, and being stung can bring about a life-threatening emergency.

This is the time to call for professional medical help. Also, if one is stung by mutiple insects at the same time, they should go to the ER.

Many who know they are highly allergic to stings carry the medication epinephrine in the form of an epi pen.

Immediate administration of epinephrine can be the difference between life and death.

Thankfully, most stings are not life threatening and are easily treated.

  • First, remove stinger if it is lodged
  • Take care not to squeeze the stinger
  • "Scrape" the stinger to remove-credit card, blunt knife blade
  • Wash the affected area
  • Ice packs can be used to reduce pain & swelling
  • OTC antihistamines, topical anti-itch creams and pain relievers can help
  • Even a thin paste of baking soda & water will calm the itch
  • There's also the old timers remedy - tobacco juice

Here's the signs of a severe reactions

Difficulty breathing, rapid heartrate, swelling of the lips or throat, nausea or vomiting, fever, muscle spasms, confusion, loss of consciousness.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode #80, "Building An Urban Bug-Out-Bag For surviving in the city."

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

Building An Urban Bug-Out-Bag For "surviving in the city" is a bit different from a bug out bag used in rural and suburban areas

Many times smaller items will be of more use, such as tarps, which you wont be able to string up.

Carry cash in small bills, and divid it up in several areas.

Lighting will be necessary, especially low-lumen headlamps and
flashlight, and carry extra batteries.

You'll need a first-aid kit. We discuss trauma kits and a medicine kit containing, Imodium, pain relievers, anti-inflammatory meds, Benadryl, and antibacterial cream

You need a fire kit, but you have to be really careful with your fire being seen. Keep it very small & hidden, and realize that if you are hiding out, may have to forego fire

Gray man clothes work better that dressy office wear, and this applies to males and females.

We list some of the survival items you need to carry.

  • Multitools, knives (fixed and folding blades)
  • Map of the city & surrounding area
  • Old fashioned compass
  • Pen & paper
  • Wet wipes for washing up and it doubles as toilet paper
  • Insect repellant

Shelter

  • Small tarp or woobie
  • 3-4 heavy mil contractor grade garbage bags
  • 1-2 Emergency blankets

Food

  • Food should be "no cooking required" and we discuss various types.

Water

  • Water may be the single most important item for which you need to prepare. We cover several ways.

We also list several "extra Items of urban areas," or tools which may help you survive.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode #75 "Bugging Out From The Big City"

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

"Bugging Out From The Big City"
If you can, move out of the city. You don't want to be there when SHTF.
Even if you move out or you commute into the city you have to prepare for possibility of being in the city if/when SHTF hits.
Primary issues would be EMP, CME, or any grid-down event causing oadways will likely be gridlocked, if vehicles are at all operable

Urban Areas present an entirely different set of challenges when on foot than the challenges in rural areas.In rural areas you can go into wooded areas, utilize abandoned houses, trailers, and buildings, build a fire, build a shelter
Urban areas are "the concrete jungle"
Always the problem of being seen or confronted
Stealth is paramount
Must move undetected and utilize hiding places. Buildings, under stairs/steps may be options. Even in the backs of vehicles, or in a dumpster.

You must move undetected
Keep it slow when you can't see
May be traveling at night

Security
You MUST be prepared to defend yourself
Be armed, if at all possible in that city
If you cant carry a firearm, use improvised weapons like a piece of chain or a steel bar

Shelter
Shelter will have to be different than in the woods
Contractor grade garbage bags are good for shelter in the city.

Food
Carry no-prep-necessary foods
Trail mix, Beef jerky, Granola bars, Protein bars, canned fruit and meats such as potted meat, tuna, Vienna sausage, Spam
Carry a personal water filter

Being in a large city is a very dangerous situation during a SHTF situation. So, IF you live in a major city:Preplan your possible exit routes on paper maps, and mark routes in advance.
Build an urban bug-out-bag - (we'll cover this next episode)
Have a survival mindset
Plan to survive getting out of the city

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 76

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

In this episode we discuss the creepy topic of "Spiders."

There are over 46,000 different species of spiders in the world, with around 30 of those species being dangerous to humans. A handful of these spiders have venom so potent that a single bite can kill a human if untreated.

This is certainly not an exhaustive list, but here are eleven of the most dangerous arachnids to humans:

Brazilian Wandering Spider

  • Said to have the worlds most toxic spider venom

Six-eyed Sand Spider

  • Lives in the desert
  • Buries itself or covers itself in sand

Australian funnel-web or Sydney funnel-web spider

  • Untreated bites kill in one hour to three days

Australian mouse spider

  • It is red and blue, soft and furry, but is not a pet! Avoid!

Redback spider

  • Found in Austraila, New Zealand, and parts of Southeast Asia.
  • Until anti-venom was introduced in the 50s, deaths from Redback spiders were regularly recorded

Katipo spider

  • Found on the south island and southern half of north island of New Zealand, it's listed as an endangered species, and is very dangerous.

Black Widow

  • Found in the US, Canada, Latin America, and in our backyard, the venom is 15 times more powerful than the rattlesnake. ApproxImately 2500 bites are treated each year in the US, and there is a five percent fatality rate.

Red widow

  • Found in Central and Southern Florida, the venom very similar to the black widow. Bite results in death without anti-venom treatment.
  • Brown Widow
  • Originally native to Africa, it has found its way to most continents.
  • Not an aggressive spider, but the venom is twice as potent as black widow!

Brown recluse or "fiddle back" spider

  • Identified by an area of the back that looks like a fiddle or violin. It is found in warmer parts of southern US, in basements, garages, attics, walls, caves, rodent burrows.
  • Bites lead to deep sores, often resulting in skin grafts, and even amputations

Hobo spider

  • Found in North America and Europe.
  • It's an aggressive spider, with a bite much like the brown recluse.

Call to action:

  • Don't put any part of your body where your eyes have not been!
  • Check you property for dangerous spiders.
  • Use pest control measures, including spraying and removing their environment whenever possible.

Seek immediate emergency medical treatment if you suspect you have been bitten by one of these spiders, regardless of symptoms!

These are not ALL of the dangerous spiders in the world, but just a few of the more dangerous.

Research the venomous spiders in your area and practice appropriate safeguards.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 73, " Rattlesnakes, Copperheads, And Other Slithering Critters."

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

In this episode we discuss: Rattlesnakes, Copperheads, And Other Slithering Critters, and how to keep them away from your property, and though not medical advice, we discuss the treatment of snakebites.

We've are having more reported snake sightings, and in unexpected areas. They are moving into urban areas becaus of drought in some western states and reduction of their natural habitat. Snakes are attracted by food, water, and cover. If we deal with food and cover, we can deter their staying in unwanted areas. Occassionally they are found on porches, in yards, in wood piles, near pools, under play equipment, in potted plants, in flower beds, and under lawncare equipment.

Keeping them out of your environment

  • Keep grass cut short
  • Helps you see them
  • They feel vulnerable to hawks & owls
  • Build a perch pole for hawks and owls
  • Clean up debris
  • Piles of wood, lumber, limbs, leaves give snakes cover.
  • Keep stacks of firewood away from the house
  • Control rodents
  • (Snakes feed on mice, chipmunks, squirrels)
  • Feed pets inside, or don't leave petfood outside
  • Keep birdfeed inaccessible to rodents
  • Rodents can chew through plastic, cardboard, even wood
  • Store birdseed in metal container / tight fitting lid
  • Keep feeders well away from the house
  • Consider snake fencing if appropriate
  • Use Snake Repellents
  • Commercially available, but many toxic to pets and children
  • Clove oil, cinnamon, and ammonia can help
  • Moth balls has mixed reviews, but I personally used it in daughter's yard, in an area prone to copperheads, and no snakes were found in her yard.
  • Spread them around the exterior of the perimeter fence
  • Yard/Barn Cats will help control rodents, which takes away a food source for snakes
  • Cats will kill snakes, or alert you to their presence
  • We tell the story of our son-in-law being alerted by their cats to the presence of a rather large rattlesnake just a few feet from the yard. Yep, he dealt with it to protect the family.

Treating Rattlesnake Bites

  • Get away from the snake
  • Stay calm
  • Seek emergency medical treatment
  • Stay immobile if possible
  • Keep the bite well below the level of the heart
  • Remove any jewelry or clothing near the bite
  • May constrict blood flow from swelling
  • Remove shoe or boot on affected leg in case of swelling.
  • Let the wound bleed for a bit, which may drain out some of the venom.
  • DO NOT cut the fang wounds
  • DO NOT "suck the poison out" with your mouth
  • Use a suction device if available
  • DO NOT apply a tourniquet, as it often does more harm than good
  • Place a clean bandage on the wound
  • Do not drink alcohol or caffeine, as it can speed absorption of the venom.

Positive identification of the species of the biting snake should be made, if if is safe to do so. If the snake cannot be positively be identified, but the snake can be killed and taken to the emergency room for positive identication, but NEVER TAKE A LIVE SNAKE TO THE ER. (Yes, it has happened).

Treating Mosquito Bites

  • Natural treatments
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Slice of raw onion
  • Freshly cut garlic
  • (also wards off vampires)
  • OTC treatments
  • Calamine lotion

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 71Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

In this episode we discuss building radio "go boxes."
These can be built for HAM radio, CB radio, GMRS, FRS, Marine radio, or any radio service you use.

They are used for

  • Deployments
  • Search and rescue
  • Bugging out
  • Exercises like field day

It's about having everything in one place and ready to go

In this epiode, we are not covering every possibility of "go box," specifically not covering digital modes which require computers for operation.

There are two kinds of go boxes:

(1) Self contained, radio, & power source

Housed in ammo cans, hard plastic waterproof cases, or custom built cases, these "go boxes" are basically plug and play ready.

They often contain only 2 meter/440 mHz radios for local use.

(2) Equipment box containing items needed for operation, as well as items for soldering, building antennas, and making repairs

Contained in sturdy weather resistant cases or totes, these boxes include items such as HTs, multi meters, soldering irons, electrical tape, heat shrink, coax, connectors, adaptors, wire antennas, rolled J-pole, paracord, twine, and tools.

We discuss Power Sources suitable for emergency use, including

  • Batteries - Deep cycle
  • Car batteries
  • Jump box
  • We are presently testing a new lawn tractor battery for possible use.

Finally, we list our "grab & go" Items including:

  • (2) radios
  • (2) HTs & chargers
  • Tripod, & paint roller extension pole
  • B Square dual band J-pole
  • Yellow Extension pole (former hot stick
  • Magnetic mount 2m/440
  • Magnetic mount antenna, 3 5" magnetic mount and band specific HF antennas
  • Go boxes are all about having things all together, and being able to deploy without having to round up everything.

If you are into radio of any kind, look into the possibility of building a go box dding to your radio capabilities.

In this episode we discuss: "Having A Positive Mental Attitude and Survival Mindset, And Dealing With Stress"

"Having A Positive Attitude And A Survival Mindset"

"A positive mental attitude will not let you do anything, but it will let you do everything better than a negative attitude will". - Zig Ziglar

" Whatever the mind can conceive, and believe, the mind can achieve" - Napolean Hill

"We become what we think about" - Earl Nightingale

We all know people who are so negative that we often hate to see them coming. We also know people who are so positive, to quote Ziglar again, they "would go after Moby Dick and take the tarter sauce with them."

In such a time when we need to use our preps or put our emergency plans into action, the stresses mount up. Stress can impede our performance in areas of memory, decision making, and multitasking, as well as increase fatigue.

Two basic types of stress: chronic stress and acute stress.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode #65

Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

Practical Prepping focuses preparing for the events we are most likely to face, weather events, power outages, supply chain interruptions, shortages, and financial issues.

We've never put any real time into aliens, zombies, asteroid strikes, EMPs, or nuclear war, ... until now.

Through watching world events and doing a lot of research, we've come to have some concerns about the growing possibility of a catastrophic failure of the electrical grid.

A catastrophic failure could be caused by a CME or an EMP, or even through sabatage.

That's our discussion for today, EMPs and CMEs.

We discuss actual EMP tests and the results, as well as several recorded CMEs, and the probability of future occurrences.

There are now nine contries (of which we are aware) that possess nuclear weapons, and others are progressing toward having them. Some of those are not friendly nations.

Several EMP commissions have studied the issues, but efforts to protect critical infrastructurees have not been undertaken.

Even the commissions report that either a CME or EMP would thrust us back to life in the 1800s, 90% of the population would die, and it would take over a year to recover.

We discuss the affects on the power grid, supply chain, economics, vehicles, on life as we know it.

The threat of CME and EMP are real, and will be devastating, but there are some things we can do to prepare.

Episode #60, "Inflation Is Here, More Is Coming, What We Can Do Now, And How This Affects Prepping."

If you enjoy Practical Prepping Podcast, would you please share it with friends? Here is the direct link:

There are five economic indicators to track in order to measure the economy.
Inflation
Employment figures
Housing
Spending
Consumer Confidence

Inflation First:

We are seeing some real red flags with inflation..
We look at some current inflationary examples.
Most notably gasoline, diesel, and energy.

Gasoline prices have increased around 75% in our area in last six months.
Rising fuel costs raises transportation costs, which raises the cost of everything at the cash register.

Food prices are increasing and package contents are shrinking.
What once was A "pound" of bacon, or coffee, is now 12 ounces. Happening with many products.
We are paying more for less.

Add to the inflation caused by the stimulous package, the fact is that we are experiencing huge shortages in some areas.
Demand is up, as people are spending stimulus funds, seeing it as "free money" but it is far from free.
Supply is down due reduced production due to reductions in available workforce.

Get ready. Infation is here, and more is coming.

EMPLOYMENT

Job openings are at all-time high, yet we have a 6% unemployment rate vs 3.5% before covid.
Its not a lack of jobs, but that the current government benefits are so generous that we are paying 3% of the workforce to stay home, there isno incentive to find a job
When more can be made sitting home than working many WILL stay home.
Government benefit is causing a shortage in the workplace, and businesses are having difficulty finding workers.
Some businesses are paying people just to show up for interviews, paying "sign-on" bonuses, and facing increased costs of labor.

HOUSING

Housing market has seen an increase in pricing.
Locally, houses are being sold faster that they are being built, and sales become bidding wars. Houes are selling for higher than asking prices.

SPENDING

Demand is greatly outstripping supply. The economic stimulous is creating demand that is higher than the potential of the country to produce over the next couple of years.

CONFIDENCE

Normally, consumer confidence drives the rate of sales in durable goods. The more confident consumers are that they will be able to make the payments, the more likely they are to buy. The less confident, the less they are to go into debt.

Look at the other side of confidence - the confidence of the investor. The investor can be the individual OR the corporation.
Individuals invest money in a number of ways, including starting businesses and investion in existing businesses. That's what the stock market is - investing in existing businesses.
Businesses invest by expanding facilities, hiring more employees, buying new processes, upgrading equipment like computers and machinery.
Biden's tax proposals are counter productive to economic growth and economic health.
His proposed increase from 21% to 28% discourages business expansion, which creates fewer jobs.
Doubling long-term capital gains for wealthy investors to 43% discourages investment.
Investing is always a risk, and if investors are going to be

Episode #59

Age, weight, physical, and mental conditions can be challenges in SHTF situations. We must stay active and get in shape both physically and mentally.

We discuss some of the "comorbidities" we learned about during the covid pandemic.

In this episode we discuss focusing too much on one area of prepping as well as prepping with a lack of family support. We cover lack of storage space, lack of skills, and lack of thoughtful planning. Lastly, we cover buying and testing quality gear before we stake our lives on that gear.

Episode #58 Gathering Intelligence Before SHTF.

Honestly, gathering intelligence is a lot more fun to do than it is to talk about, but we need to know how, and like any other skill, we get better as we practice.

In this episode we discuss three aspects of intelligence gathering. Those are:
Open source intelligence (OSINT)
Cyber intelligence (CYBINT)
Human intelligence (HUMINT)

Open source intel. (OSINT)OSINT sources can be divided up into six different categories of information flow:

Media - newspaper, magazines, radio, television, alternative news sites, and foreign news sites

Internet - online publications, blogs, discussion groups, user created content such as Youtube and social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. A good example is While the media was saying "peaceful protests" posted social media videos were showing buildings being burned, people being beaten, looting, and massive destruction.

Public government dataGovernment reports, transcripts of government hearings, press conferences, and speeches

Professional & academic publicationsJournals, symposia, academic papers, even dissertations & theses

Commercial dataCommercial imagery, financial assessments, commercial weather, and especially satellite photos.

Cyber intel. (CYBINT)Properly formed cyber intelligence is born out of analysis.
Analysis of data allows better decisions
It often involves crunching data, computer modeling, weather modeling, and military models.

Human intel. (HUMINT)Propper Ground truth depends on getting "Eyes on" the, or at least first hand accounts.

In some situations we need to do personal recon. In others we can gain information directly from friends, family, or listening to ham oporators, but we must separate fact from opinion or rumor. We do this by correlation of data.

Episode # 57 "Bugging Out, Avoiding, Survival Situations, And Surviving Grid Down"

Too much emphasis Is placed on bugging out, and building a BOB is often the first thing many new preppers do.

Sure, all the sexy gear and gadgets are fun, and we romanticize the iea of living like Grizzly Adams, Jeremiah Johnson, or Tom Hanks on the movie "Castaway"

The truth is, we should Bug Out Only when we cannot survive where we are, or bugging out increases our chances of survival, or when we can no longer access or obtain resources necessary to survive.

We discuss avoiding survival situations.An ounce of prevention better than pound of cure.WE want to be Proactive rather than reactive.
Have a plan.

We touch on situational awareness In public places as well as In the outdoors.
Check the weather and news before going somewhere. What is the environment, temperature, terrain, and water availability?

We cover carrying appropriate backup gear, letting someone know where you are going and expected return time, and then check in with them.

We get into some of the gear we should be carrying, and a survival mindset.

Finally we talk about Surviving Grid Down Situations.

It's All about safety, having a plan, and staging supplies in different areas of our house.

Communications will be a MUST in surviving a grid down SHTF, and we discuss that.
(We have done several podcasts on communications, so check out episodes #12, #13, #15, and #16.
We also have articles on communications on the website at www.practicalprepping.info)

Skills, skills, skills, did we say skills? You MUST have skills to survive a grid down situation. We talk about that.

Episode #56, "Prepping In Small Spaces, Where Burglars Usually Search, Hiding Things In Plain Sight, And Hiding Places For Cash And Valuables."

In this episode we started out looking at prepping in small places, particularly apartments, but the episode took a turn to discussing burglars, where they search, options for hiding things in plain sight, and ways to hide cash and valuables hidden from burglars.

Regardless of the size of your residence, you may gain some ideas for more storage space, and certainly ideas for hiding preps, cash, and valuables.

Think "up" think "down" - In the attic & under house

Hidding things from prying eyes (not specifically valuables)Using wide curtains, Window seats, and Platform beds
Storing Under beds, back of closets, back of pantry
Using space under tables with floor length tablecloths
(Great for food, water, gear)

Hiding things in plain sightUsing furniture for storage
Armoire
Chests of drawers and dressers for storage
Changing the storage boxes
Baskets, shoe boxes, hat boxes
Mislabeled totes
"Christmas Decorations," "Baby clothes" etc
Pockets of winter coats

Hiding placesFirst Understand the actions of burglars......
Want to be in & out quickly, they will:
Take what is visible, tv, electronics,
Then they start looking for cash, jewelry, & guns.
Flip mattresses
Rifle through drawers
Dump drawers on the floor
Open cabinets
Look behind the hanging clothes in closets
Looking for long guns in the corners
Looking for "fireproof" boxes or cash storage boxes
Look under beds
Guns & fire proof cash boxes often stored there

For Hiding CashSafe, or gun safe bolted down to floor
Substantial safe, heavy, fire rated, and impossible to move.
Tape envelopes above the top drawer in cabinets, dressers, and chests of drawers.
Inside the a/c filter compartments
Under kitchen and bathroom sinks

Some of the show notes:
What do we really believe? Really believe?
If we really believe something, we WILL act on it.
What drives us? What guides us?

Over time, I made a list of my personal core beliefs as they relate to ten subjects. (There are more, but we cover ten here, including how my core beliefs relate to prepping.

This list about what I believe, not what someone else thinks that I should believe! Your list will be no doubt be different, but I'd bet there are some similarities.

What drives YOU?
What guides YOU?
What do YOU really believe? Really believe?

Make a list of YOUR core beliefs.
What do you believe about life?
What do you believe about prepping?
Do you believe there will be things that will interrupt your families daily lives?
Power outages, hurricanes, tornados, wildfires, Winter storms, earthquakes?
Could you face a job loss?
Could you face a major illness or injury?
If we really believe something, we WILL act on it.

If we believe that we could experience any of these things, then we WILL take action by becoming prepared.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 53,
"Dealing With Heat Related Illunesses"

Heat related illnessWe discuss the people at greatest risk, and how our bodies regulate temperature by sweating, and we discuss how dehydration increases the risk.

Our Environment plays a large part in how well our bodies cool themselves as well. Air temp, humidity, wind speed, clothing and sun exposure, figure into heat related illnesses. Even high body fat is a factor.

Certain medications may increase risk of heat related illnesses. These include psychotropic drugs, some medication for Parkinson's disease, tranquilizers, diuretics, and birth control medications.

Heat illnesses range from mild heat cramps to life threatening heat stroke. We cover them all.

Heat stroke (THIS IS LIFE ENDANGERING)The body loses the ability to cool itself.
This is an acute medical emergency !Call 911 immediately!
Do Not give the parient anything to drink.
Remove as much clothing as possible.
Immerse in cool bath, or Ice pack armpits, groin, and neck areas to lower core temperature.
Transport to medical facility is necessary.

Prevention of all heat related illnesses:Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
Did we say hydrate?
Before, during, & after activities
Wear appropriate clothing
Pace yourself
Utilize morning and evening cooler temps
Limit direct sun exposure
Take frequent breaks for rest & hydration

Finally, Never Leave Children in Cars:

  • Never leave infants, children or pets in a parked car, even if the windows are cracked open.
  • When leaving your car, check to be sure everyone is out of the car. Do not overlook any children who have fallen asleep in the car.

In Episode # 52 "Back To Basics, Getting Started Prepping, And A Few Reminders For The Rest Of Us"

Maybe 2020 convinced you that you need to be prepared for future events. Maybe you are new to preparedness and it all seems a bit overwhelming. Relax. We can help.

In this episode, we get back to basics, getting started in preparedness. There's also some reminders for the rest of us.

If you haven't already, just get started!

One of the most important things every prepper, every person, should have is a NOAA weather radio, with alerts, to wake you during weather emergencies. You also need multiple smoke detectors and fire extinguishers on each level of your residence.

We begin with WATER STORAGE, one of the most important, often overlooked, items to store. We discuss amounts to store and ways to store.

We cover getting started and building FOOD STORAGE. It's not as hard as some make it, and what you need, to begin, is available in your grocery store.

Then we talk about layering your food storage items. Layering involves storing canned foods you will use, then dry goods in mylar bags for longer storage, and finally adding long-term storage, freeze dried foods. (We personally do not currently store freeze dried foods, but we are currently exploring that avenue).

Just get started. That is the most important aspect of preparedness. A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. Take that step today!

If you are just starting out, get our book, Practical Prepping For Everyday People - A Common Sense Guide On Preparing For Life's Emergencies ." It will help you get off to a good start, and covers most topics for the beginning preppers.

We recommend listening to episode #20, "Planning Your Preps" to help you get started with a good plan, which helps in your prepping journey.

Episode #51

We first recognize some of the countries in our international audience. We ask that those in our international audience send us an email in reference to prepping in their country, as we would like to explore preparedness around the globe.

The topic of this episode is:
"What the Bible says about Prepping."

First, we see being prepared IS taught in the Bible.We explore the example of Joseph in Genesis 41, as he is appointed by Pharaoh to prepare the land in seven years of abundance for the coming seven years of famine. God gifted Joseph with the ability and courage to interpret Pharaoh's disturbing dreams which ultimately led to this national policy of preparedness and provision for Egypt and its neighbor countries.

We also discuss how the resourceful ant is referenced in Proverbs 6:6 as one who stores up in the summer for the winter.

Would you believe that Jesus believed in backups when it came to weapons? The passage is found in Luke 22. Lets examine that.

Second, prepping allows us to be able to bless others.Joseph was able to aid other countries, his family, and ultimately the nation of Israel through the famine.

We believe the ultimate preparation is knowing Jesus Christ as your personal savior, but we respect everyone's rght to believe what they believe. We will not "force" our beliefs on anyone, but we do know that life with a personal relationship with Jesus Christ brings peace and freedom. May what we've shared today bless you and bring you even closer to God.

If you would like more information on how to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, please reach out to us by email at info@practicalprepping.info

Prepping is not all bug-out-bags and bushcraft."Bugging in", "hunkering down", or " sheltering in place" is much more likely during the average situation faced by most, but we need to be prepared for both possibilities.

In this episode we discuss often overlooked items for bug-out-bags and get-home-bag

The get-home-bag gets you home from wherever you happen to be when the world goes to crap, or you get stranded

We are not covering, in this episode, items almost universally included such as knives, fire starting, first aid kit, ammo, etc, but those often overlooked.

We'll have the list on the website in a few day for thise who want to review.

Episode #48 "Situational Awareness"

Do you ever just watch people?

Maybe you see some of the same problems we have observed. People have their face in their phones and don't pay attention. We've seen them step into traffic, run into poles, and one even fell into a fountain, all because they were not paying attention.

Situational awareness can be broken down into three components, observation, comprehension, and projection. We explain each one, and how they fit together to help you make good decisions based on good information, and thereby keep your family and yourself safe.

In this episode, we discuss situational awareness in a number of scenarios. Here's a few we discuss: eating in restaurants, in parking lots, exiting businesses, malls, doctors offices, etc., and returning to your vehicle. We discuss getting gas, Using ATMs, returning home, how to tell and what to do if you are being followed.

Situational awareness principles apply to daily life as well as SHTF situations.

Keep your head on a swivel, stay aware of your situation, and make good decisions based on good information.

Stuff happens. Stay prepared!

Episode #47, Practicing "Gray Man" Principles

This episode is brought to you by "Practical Prepping For Everyday People - A Common Sense Guide On Preparing For Life's Emergencies " Available on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

We usuall think of "gray man" concepts in a SHTF context, but it is not just for shtf, it's very useful going about our daily lives.

The objective is to blend in with others around you.
On a campus, backpacks are the norm, but not tactical backpacks
In a professional environment, upscale leather brief case, computer bag, or messenger bag firs in.
In a work environment, computer cases and shoulder bags blend in.
While on vacation, try not to be looking like a tourist

We should not be sticking out, and not bedrawing attention.
Blend in by dressing like the people you expect to be around.
Don't make yourself a possible target of attack

Understanding these concepts help us in our situational awareness. They help us in watching for those who are "out of place"

AT HOME we can practice some "gray man" principles.
Don't announce travels or social media before or while away.
Don't put big ticket item boxes on the curb such as the new 72" TV box. That advertises to burglars.

Be discrete when loading weapons into vehicles.
Cut labels off certain boxes, which may identify us as preppers, before putting them in the recycle bin.

During SHTF
Wear NO tactical clothing
Carry NO tactical bags
Better to have hikers backpack, otherwise use raincover over tactical pack
Display No tactical gear:
No knives affixed to shoulder straps
Keep everything concealed

In the city, wear neutral colors
Blends in with city buildings, sreets, and objects
Avoid bright colors

In rual areas wear seasonal clothing
Hunting clothing normal attire in some areas
Jeans and shirt, cap

Around group of people, behave like everyone else
Ask the same questions, exhibit same actions
Act like the "normal" folks are acting.

Episode # 44. LET'S TALK OPSEC

Operational Security or Operations Security is
really just risk management

General OpsecParticularly important for survival communities and mutual assistance groups.

OPSEC should be exercised with family bug out location & activities as well as in daily life.
General opsec includes making your house less attractive to thugs, thieves, and looters using outside lighting, video cameras, cutting back bushes cut and reducing hiding places aroung the house.
We talk a bit about situational awareness and being the gray man, or woman, and blending in.

Mission Opsec(the fun, spy craft type stuff)

Radio Communications:
Remember, everything can be monitored.

For the purposes of this discussion we'll use the Baofeng radio.

They are dual band, dual watch radios can operate "split" which helps with the security of communications.

Codes can be developed for use after SHTF, or even in exercises or daily use, and we discuss examples of codes.

We discuss keeping your transmissions short, triangulation, and rotating your transmitting locations.

Just for fun we discuss verbal runners, dead drops, and signals.

We are unable to do a full podcast tonight, but wanted to share some thoughts.

I always thought the phrase "anoint my head with oil" in Psalm 23 was figurative language for God keeping the psalmist happy.

In studying recently, I came across a bit of history about the sheep and why the shepherd would physically coveer the sheep's head with oil.

This parallel makes Psalm 23 even more meaningful.

We'll be back on Monday.

Episode # 42

As the seasons change, it is a time to check the car bag, or get-home-bag, and rotate food items, replace missing items, and add things yoou may have forgotten.

(Its also a good time to check the smoke detectors & fire extinguishers).

We cover the major items we carry in our personal bags, and discuss some things you can carry in the car.

Your bag will differ from ours, but here are the major catagories we carry, and you should carry as well.

Three ways to start FIRE

WATER and three ways to purify more water

Three ways to have LIGHTING

FOOD items we carry in our bags, (enough for three days)

What KNIFE is in the bag, two other EDC, and an accessory.

CORDAGE has so many uses. What we carry and how to use it.

SHELTER can be carried in your bag, and has multiple uses.

SECURITY is important. Items you can carry if you can't carry a firearm, and some options if you can.

"Being a Prepper is nothing more than making sure that you and your loved ones will make it through the next big thing that is out of the ordinary, planning for all of you to live through till the problem is over." - Bob Childers

Lots of ways to define prepping or preppers.
TEOTWAWKI "The End Of The World As We Know It"
Looked at by many as the "Crazy prepper"
OFF-GRIDDERS/HOMESTEADERS:Live like what our grandparents just called "life"

A Prepper Is Not someone:has 3 ARs and a big bucket of ammo and believes they are a prepper; OR....has ordered a years worth of food, but if that is all...

An "prepper" is a person who wants to:make sure the family is taken care of.
see the family get through the "what ifs"
who takes responsibility to provide for themselves when others must depend on someone else

What does it take to be prepared for most disasters or weather events?To be prepared be self-sufficient, in any event, for a minimum of 7 days, 14 days is better.

Well rounded preppers don't get so caught up in prepping for what might happen in the future that they ignore relationships, or fail to live in the here and now.

Considerations:
Food & Water
Shelter
Shelter At Home
Shelter For Get-Home SituationsElectrical Needs
Medical
- good first aid kit
Security - Adequate for risk
Sanitation options

Tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, wild fires, and snowstorms WILL happen as we have seen recently.
Maybe this episode will help you and your family get through it much easier.

Episode # 40 is brought to you by Covenant Music and features Krista Lawley singing the title cut from her album, "I've Got A Joy."

Worldwide we have come through a very hard year:

We have experienced Covid Lockdowns, School closures, Economic repression, Political upheaval,
Skyrocketing unemployment, Business closings, Rising prices, Declining mental conditions, Mass depression, and Increasing suicides

How do we come to a point of believing that God really is in control, that He will carry us through this?

We can Praise, Pray, or Meditate

For Christians, praise is worship
Prayer connects us with our creator
Meditation means "To ponder"
Who we are, our strengths & weaknesses,
Our Core beliefs, life's purpose,
Lessons learned,
And our priorities

We end todays episode with one of Krista's original songs,
"I've Got A Joy"

If you would like to hear more of Krista's music, you can find her on YouTube, just search for Krista Lawley.

In Episode # 37 we continue with low cost/no cost prepping activities. This particulat one doesnt cost money, just some time, and can increase your knowledge base exponentially. Here's our recommendations.

Read online articles.There is a plethora of information on the internet, just sitting there waiting to be perused, and much of it is free. Sure, you have to weed through some poppycock here and there, but there are many trustworthy sites available. Here are some of out favorites.

Our website, of course. www.practicalprepping.info a great place for starting out
prepperwebsite.com a daily compilation of articles from many prepper sites
thesurvivalmom.com a mom who cared enough for her family to start prepping
Prepper.com a site to take you toward sustainability
mdcreekmore.com this guy has skills! He shares them freely.
shtfplan.com - many current event articles as they relate to prepping
theprepared.com a lot of "The best articles"

Join online prepping forumsThere is a lot of noise you will need to weed through, and some people don't think it through before answering, like the single mom on a limited budget asking about getting started and was told to buy five acres in a secluded location. Yeah, right. Scroll on, nothing of value.
However, there are some knowledgeable preppers who freely share info. Ask your questions then seek consensus in opinions and you'll usually be ok.
These are good places to glean ideas, take them and customize them to fit your needs.
Facebook, MEWE, Parlor and other platforms have prepper groups, gardening groups, ham radio groups and groups for about any topic. Some are regional groups, some national, and some international.
The persona of the groups can range from warm and friendly to downright rude. Stay out of the drama and just scroll on by where appropriate, but there is good information in some of them.

Episode #36 "Getting Children Involved In Prepping"
We certainly want to get our young children and grandchildren involved in prepping, but we don't want to scare them.

If we teach them from a young age, and make it fun, it's more likely to become a lifestyle for them.

Psalms says "Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it."

The time to be teaching them is when they are young!

We don't want to be talking TEOTWAWKI, or EMP, of long-term grid down situations with young children. That instills fear.

We can talk about "practicing" for when the power goes out, or when we have a big snow and can't go to the grocery store. That instills confidence.

Depending on age appropriateness, we can practice "camping" in the living room, in the back yard, or even at a campground or park.

We can learn and practice fire making skills in the backyard by gathering tinder and sticks. Then we can roast marshmallows or make Smores after we build a fire to make it more fun.

You can let them make a "go bag" by putting a change of clothes, bottle of water, crayons, and coloring book in their own bag. As they grow, their bag will change over time. Then go on a "hike" around the yard, the block, or nature trail, while everyone wears their own bag.

Even a three year old can have and wear a go bag. They'll love it, and you will too.

We can instill in them the lifestyle of prepping by making it fun. Be consistent. Teach them regularly. Practice regularly.

By involving our children and grandchildren at young ages, and teaching them appropriately for their age, we can instill in them the lifestyle of preparedness.

We are recording this on Sunday March 14th as we face the possibility of long-track tornados in the Southeast USA later this week.

PLEASE HEED THE WARNINGS.

You may have only minutes to take action.

HAVE A SAFE PLACE and a plan.

YOU MUST NOT STAY IN A MOBILE HOME!

If you don't have a safe place at home, you need to know where the community shelters are located and you should leave early to go to the community shelter.

Episode #34

Hurricane Season almost here.
Avoid the rush. The time to prepare is now.

Have a plan:
Decide these things ahead of time:
Know when to bug out
Know your threshold on leaving or staying
Know where you are bugging out to

LEAVE EARLY if you are going to leave. Don't wait until there are thousands of others trying to leave after a mandatory evacuation oder.

Carry some cash with you. Gas may be available, but only for cash sales.

Stores run out as people panic to get ready, and and especially after a hurricane. The time to prepare is now!

We discuss many of the things you need to buy ahead of time... because... the time to prepare is now!

Summary:

Dont wait, prepare now
Have a plan
Work your plan

IMPORTANT NOTE: Remember, that after an evacuation order, there will be NO Emergency Services coming to rescue you until it is safe for them to do so. You will be on your own for some time. Please stay safe!

NOTE:
EVERY piece of gear reviewed on Practical Prepping Podcast has been purchased with our own money so you know you are getting an honest review, not a paid review.

In Episode #33, we do a gear review of the Mr. Heater, Big Buddy Propane Heater

This model has three heating levels, low - 4,000 BTU, medium 9,000 BTU, and high at 18,000 BTU.

This model operates off one pound, little green, propane bottles. Two bottles may be inserted into the back of the heator.

The heater will also operate with the adaptor hose from the 20 pound, BBQ grill style tanks.

We've found that the Big Buddy, on high heat setting, consumes approximately one pound per hour. We have yet to test the propane consumption on medium and low settings.

The heater is rated indoor safe and has the ffollowing features:
Low Oxygen safety shut off ( ODS)
Accidental tip-over shut off
Piezo sparking igniter
Heats up to 450 Sq. Ft
Weight 17.1 pounds

Our Conclusion:
This heater is a great auxiliary or supplemental heat source.
We recommend the Big Buddy heater without hesitation.
Be sure to stock up on propane considering your personal needs.

In many natural disasters, we often lose electricity, occasionally for extended time. This creates a challenge in preparing food. We must have alternatives for preparing food.

In Episode #32, we explore many options for cooking without electricity, and some creative ways to bake, fry, and slow cook.

We must stress that USING A GRILL INSIDE IS DANGEROUS AND CAN KILL!

A propane cook stove inside can be safely used for short periods in well ventilated areas.

Here are some of the options we discuss for alternative cooking methods when the power is off.

Butane stove, Rocket stove, alcohol stove, backpack stoves

Grills may be used for more than grilling:
Side burner Use
Using a crock pot insert for slow cookIng
Baking
Frying
Roasting
Smokeing

Turkey fryers are for more than frying turkeys
Cooking On Open Fires
Fireplace
Camp fires
With foil & Disposable pans

Heating Water
Turkey fryers
Open fires
Fireplaces

In Episode #31, we bring you more low cost, or no cost, prepping ideas.

We begin with exercise - we just need to get moving and get healthier. Here's some things to help, which don't feel so much like exercising.

Developing relationships - we as a society no longer know our neighbors, much less the people in the neighborhood. These are our first line of help in a disaster.

Collecting things we have around the house which may have usefulness in a disaster or other SHTF situation costs nothing. You'll discover things you forgot you had. Organize them so you will know where they are when you need them.

Learning skills is not enough. We have to practice our skills. Build a fire. Cook on it. Practice identifying plants.... especially the ones that will hurt you. Go hunting or fishing. Even if you aren't out for food, it's relaxing and good for the soul.

Purge stuff - is your garage, prepper closet, or shelves crowded with things you no longer need, no longer work, or are just in the way. Throw out the junk and consider selling or giving away no longer needed items.

These small kits can be built in empty medicine bottles, snap top containers, and even smokeless tobacco cans.

One man made small kits and shrink-wrapped six together to keep in his glove box. Anytime he was going any distance from the truck, he dropped it in his jacket pocket or bag.

In episode #13 we do a review of the most popular radio in prepper circles, probably for the very low cost of the radios. However, the stock "rubber duck" antenna is the cause of frustration for many who have purchased this radio. A simple antenna upgrade increases the performance of this radio greatly. Nagoya makes several which are very appropriate for this radio, but be careful, there are a lot of counterfeits out there. We'll tell you how to tell the difference in the genuine and the counterfeits.
