Essential Prepper gear
Forrest & Kyle “The Prepping Academy” Audio in player below!
In the Prepper community there seems to be two prevailing purchasing strategies for gear. Buy cheap and buy often, or buy once cry once. Some Preppers buy some of the absolute cheapest gear possible from sites like Aliexpress and buy as many as duplicates as they can. Others do a ton of research and buy high end. Continue reading Essential Prepper gear!
Hygiene and being resourceful!
When you talk about threats in a post disaster scenario it’s easy to get wrapped up in the obvious. I wouldn’t begrudge anyone for having fear of roving mobs of the desperate, life threatening conditions of the environment around us or even the very real possibility of starvation. These are threats that people in perilous situations face all over the world. We don’t see them very often close to home but when disaster strikes the threats to our well being come screaming back into reality. Continue reading Hygiene and being resourceful!

Are any of us prepared? prepper checklist
Highlander “Survival & Tech Preps”
This episode I will talk about how prepared we think we are, or aren’t. I will make a generalized checklist of what we should have and maybe a few things you might not have thought of.

Josh “The 7P’s of Survival”
On this show we take a look at the value of a few pre-made kits or components of a full kit vs. buying each part of your kit individually to your specifications.

Co-ops and buying clubs
D.J. Cooper “Surviving Dystopia”

Another way to save money and make those pennies last is to buy in bulk, Co-ops and buying clubs. If in the long run you can reduce the expenses of your household wouldn’t this be something you would choose to do? Continue reading Co-ops and buying clubs!
For some reason, not a lot of people talk about this very important yet crucial aspect of prepping. Everyone’s got food and water in their pantry, in their bug out bags but no one seems to care whether or not they have any preps at their bug out location.
Is it because they don’t need them? Is it because their BOLs are self-sufficient and don’t need cans of tuna and wheat berries when they can just hunt and dig wells? No and no. I believe this to be yet another overlooked aspect of prepping Continue reading Stockpile Your Bug Out Location?
