The Survivalist Prepper Podcast

A well-stocked Pantry is not only an important part a preppers food storage, it also offers peace of mind when times get tough. When done properly, building and maintaining your food storage pantry can also save you money. Pantry foods include not only the pantry, but cupboards, shelves, and anything you use on a regular […] The post Building & Maintaining Your Food Storage Pantry appeared first o...

When it comes to preparedness, our main concerns are usually centered around how much we can stockpile, and how long we are prepared for. Most preppers tend to fall short when it comes to long term self-sufficiency. Having a years' worth of food stored is great, but what do you do when that runs out? […] The post Long Term Preparedness & Self-Sufficiency appeared first on Survivalist Prepper .

Our countries financial stability, government overspending, high taxes, and the national debt are major issues for many people. This is especially true for preppers and anyone involved in preparedness and self-sufficiency. People have been talking about an economic collapse for decades, and we've had a couple of close calls in recent history, yet we always […] The post The Impending Economic Colla...

The basics of prepping are simple. Food, water, shelter, security, sanitation, and first aid, but it shouldn't stop there. Taking prepping to the next level means going beyond the basics and becoming more proficient in each or all the areas of preparedness. I'm not trying to disparage anyone who only prepares on a small scale, […] The post Taking Prepping to the Next Level appeared first on Surviv...

This weeks show is sort of an impromptu show with Sara Hathaway of the Changing Earth Podcast and book series. Sara was not only our guest on the show this week, she was a guest in our home while she was in town for the preparedness convention here in Denver.  After the convention on Sunday […] The post Preparing Your Children, Bugging Out & Yellowstone appeared first on Survivalist Prepper .

As we prepare, we inevitably become more confident about our ability to get through any disaster we might face. At times though, we can be a little over confident and underestimate what a real disaster would look like.  You may have heard people say (or said it yourself) that an SHTF event needs to happen […] The post How Life Will Change After the S Hits the Fan appeared first on Survivalist Prep...

For those of us that live in the northern states it's that time of year again, and depending on who you are, you either love the winter or hate it. None the less it's time to get ready for the cold and snow and that means doing inventory of your winter preparedness supplies, rotating your […] The post Winter Preparedness Tips for Preppers appeared first on Survivalist Prepper .

As we dig through the internet researching different topics in the preparedness community, some are covered much more than others. This is because as preppers we love to read and talk about bugging out, we probably know 20 ways to start a fire, and the new trinkets and gadgets fascinate us. This however shouldn't be […] The post The Over-hyped & the Underappreciated Prepping Topics appeared first...

One of the most critical parts of a good preparedness plan is the ability to gather information about what's going on, and what could happen. When cell phones don't work, the internet is down, or when radio and television is just static, we need good alternatives.   In the second half of our 2 part podcast […] The post Grid Down Communications for Preppers (Part 2) appeared first on Survivalist Pr...

In the event of any disaster or SHTf event, the ability to get information about what's going on and communicate will be vital. Grid down communications is also important in order to communicate with family friends and group members.  Along with police scanners and weather radios, there are a few other prepper comm options that […] The post Grid Down Communications for Preppers (Part 1) appeared f...

Being able to eat in a grid down or SHTF scenario is more complicated than just having your long-term food storage needs taken care of. There are quite a few other considerations preppers need to keep in mind. How will you cook the food you have stored? How will you get rid of the trash […] The post Grid Down Cooking Options and Considerations for Preppers appeared first on Survivalist Prepper .

Of all the prepper fiction authors out there, the few that catch my attention are the ones who actually live the lifestyle, and write because of their experiences. After reading a few chapters of any book, we can usually figure out if the author is the real deal, or if they're just trying to make […] The post The Prepping Basics & Then Some With Ron Foster appeared first on Survivalist Prepper .

There are a number of scenarios we think about as preppers where trauma supplies and skills are important. However, as preppers we tend to head straight for "worst case scenario" when thinking about traumatic injuries and large SHTF injuries, and by doing this we tend to miss the other more likely disaster scenarios. While there […] The post Prepper First Aid: Trauma and Large SHTF Injuries appear...

Last week at The Preparedness Experience we did a live video and talked about SHTF wound care, sanitation and cleanliness. This week we want to expand on that a bit and talk about SHTF injuries and prevention for preppers. Some of you may know that I recently had emergency appendix surgery, and while it isn't […] The post SHTF Injuries and Prevention for Preppers appeared first on Survivalist Prep...

Some of the biggest challenges with preparedness don't involve bug out bags or long term food storage, sometimes preparing your home and family can be a huge challenge. This week we we're honored to have Lisa Bedford (The Survival Mom) on with us to talk about some of these challenges at home. For the few […] The post Preparing Your Home & Family With the Survival Mom appeared first on Survivalist...

A few times over the last couple of month's we have talked about the future of prepping, and how things might look in the next few decades. While the basics of preparedness will always remain the same, how we do it, and what we prepare for may change. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. When […] The post Long Term Preparedness With Sara Hathaway appeared first on Survivalist Prepper .

This week Lisa and I have Kevin back on to finish off our list of 16 prepping medical myths. Last week in part 1 of this 2 part podcast we went over myths about dead bodies, suturing, and some snake bite myths. As I mentioned last week, there is a lot of misinformation out there, […] The post Prepping Medical Myths Part 2 appeared first on Survivalist Prepper .

People who didn't live through the 80's and 90's probably look back and say "how did they ever survive". Kids drank from garden hoses, we played cowboys and Indians, and when you needed to learn about something, you went to what was called a library and read a book. These days because of YouTube University […] The post Medical Prepping Myths Part 1 appeared first on Survivalist Prepper .

At times it can be difficult to explain to your children of family members how important prepping and being prepared is. With the world the way it is today, and all the different potentially catastrophic scenarios we face, we know we can't afford to sit around with our fingers crossed, but how do we convey […] The post Getting the Family Onboard with Prepping appeared first on Survivalist Prepper...

As preppers, some of us have an uneasy feeling from time to time about how prepared we are, compared to how prepared we need to be. To me this seems completely natural, especially when you consider how things change daily, and how some of these disaster scenarios increase or decrease on our threat radar. This […] The post Is There a "Right" Way to Be a Prepper? appeared first on Survivalist Preppe...

With technology advancing on a seemingly daily basis, and with everything being connected to everything, cyber security for preppers is becoming increasingly important. With governments and companies gathering your data, and tracking every move you make, and hackers trying to take every dime you have, protecting ourselves is a full time job. Last week we […] The post Cyber Security for Preppers ap...

As things seem to get worse around the globe and right here at home, our urgency to be better prepared escalates daily. With social, economic, and political divides, with world conflicts, and with our national debt, it seems that something is going to give. Let's imagine for a second that nothing major happens in the […] The post Artificial Intelligence, Family Values & Propaganda appeared first o...
