| Emergency Communication and First Aid: GMRS Radios, IFAKs, and PFAKs | 12 Oct 2026 | 00:21:51 | |
Cell phones are great until service disappears, batteries die, or your group gets separated. In this episode, we explain how GMRS radios can help families, campers, off-road groups, farms, neighborhoods, and small teams stay connected during emergencies. We compare GMRS with FRS, discuss licensing, channels, repeaters, privacy codes, range expectations, and common radio types. We also cover the important difference between an IFAK and a PFAK. An IFAK is built for serious trauma and life-threatening bleeding, while a PFAK handles everyday first aid needs like cuts, scrapes, blisters, headaches, and minor injuries. Practical gear, clearly explained.

We have several in the practical Prepping Private Facebook Group and other groups who have asked about how to keep frozen and refrigerated foods safe during a power outage, so we're doing a segment on that.

| Our Personal Everyday Carry Handgun Setups, And The ReadyFam App | 21 Sep 2026 | 00:24:41 | |
In this episode, we break down two personal everyday carry setups. Krista shares why she carries the Smith and Wesson M&P 380 Shield EZ, and Mark discusses his Springfield RDP 9mm. We also talk with Adam Baker, cofounder of ReadyFam.app, about using technology to organize emergency preparedness supplies, track expiration dates, and build a better family preparedness plan. Krista’s everyday carry handgun is the Smith and Wesson M&P 380 Shield EZ, chambered in 380 ACP. She chose it because the slide is easy to rack, which matters because she has some arthritis and struggled with a stiffer slide on a previous handgun. The Shield EZ also has easy load magazines, an eight round magazine with eight plus one capacity, a grip safety, and an optional ambidextrous thumb safety.

| Inflation Busting Ideas: Practical Ways to Save Money and Prepare for Inflation or Recession | 14 Sep 2026 | 00:29:09 | |
In this episode of Practical Prepping, we discuss practical inflation busting ideas to help you stretch your money and prepare for uncertain economic times. As groceries, gas, utilities, medication, and everyday essentials continue to cost more, many families are feeling real pressure on their budgets. We talk about three basic ways to deal with inflation and recession concerns: having more money, increasing income, and reducing expenses. We share realistic ideas for side gigs, budgeting, tracking expenses, building an emergency fund, cutting impulse spending, reviewing subscriptions, buying second hand, using coupons, cooking at home, growing some of your own food, reducing energy use, and attacking high interest debt. Preparedness is not just about gear and supplies. It is also about financial resilience and making wise choices before a crisis hits. If rising prices are squeezing your household, this episode offers simple, practical steps to help you save money, reduce stress, and stay prepared.

| Prepping for People Who Live Alone or Whose Spouse Cannot Help | 07 Sep 2026 | 00:22:41 | |
Preparedness advice often assumes there are multiple capable adults in the home, but that is not always reality. Some people live alone, and others have a spouse who may be out of town, sick, injured, caring for others, or unable to help during a crisis. In this episode, we talk about building an emergency plan that works when you are the only functioning adult available. You will learn how to create a simple check-in plan, use written checklists, arrange supplies so they are easy to reach, prepare medical information, think through transportation backups, and include pets in your plan.

| What to Do When an Emergency Happens Away From Home | 31 Aug 2026 | 00:32:22 | |
What happens if an emergency starts while you are not home? In this episode, we discuss the often-overlooked problem of being away from your supplies when roads close, cell service slows, or your family is separated. We cover how to assess whether to stay, move nearby, or go home, and why a get-home plan is really a transportation, communication, and reunification plan. We also discuss everyday carry, vehicle kits, work bags, school pickup plans, public transit concerns, paper maps, and the half-tank fuel rule. Preparedness is not just what you store at home. It is also the decisions, tools, and plans that help you respond wherever you are. 1791gunleather.com - Use the discount code "prep15" Practical Prepping Facebook Group If you find value in what we do, if you've learned something new, gotten an idea for something you need to do, been entertained, or just like Krista's Southern charm, would you be willing to give back a little?

| Extreme Heat Preparedness: How to Stay Safe and Cool During Extreme Heat | 24 Aug 2026 | 00:15:10 | |
Today’s episode of Practical Prepping focuses on staying safe during extreme heat, especially if the air conditioner goes out or you have to be outside. We discuss practical ways to stay cooler and reduce the risk of heat-related problems. Start with hydration. Drink water regularly and avoid too much caffeine or alcohol, which can contribute to dehydration. Use battery-powered fans, handheld fans, or neck fans, and keep extra batteries ready. Cool wet towels, cooling cloths, or damp washcloths placed on the neck, wrists, or forehead can help lower body temperature. Cool showers or baths can also provide relief. Inside the home, use nighttime cooling, cross-ventilation, and fans to move air. Stay on lower floors or in the basement if possible. Close off unused rooms, use ice packs or frozen bottles in front of fans, and avoid heat-generating cooking. Plan cold meals and know where local cooling centers are. 1791gunleather.com - Use the discount code "prep15" Practical Prepping Facebook Group If you find value in what we do, if you've learned something new, gotten an idea for something you need to do, been entertained, or just like Krista's Southern charm, would you be willing to give back a little?

| The Core Categories Every Prepper Should Cover | 17 Aug 2026 | 00:36:20 | |
In this episode, we look at the major categories of prepping and why balance matters. Preparedness is more than food, firearms, or gear. We discuss starting with the needs that apply to nearly every emergency, including water, food, finances, first aid, sanitation, shelter, lighting, power, communications, safety, and security. We share some practical advice on avoiding debt, building emergency savings, storing shelf stable foods, purifying water, preparing get home bags, and developing useful skills. We hope this helps new and experienced preppers identify weak spots, avoid tunnel vision, and build a more complete, realistic preparedness plan.

| Survival Uses for Ordinary Office Supplies | 10 Aug 2026 | 00:24:26 | |
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.

| 17 Overlooked Everyday Items With Real Survival Uses | 13 Jul 2026 | 00:25:30 | |
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.

| Redneck Engineering and the Lost Art of Self Reliance | 06 Jul 2026 | 00:31:58 | |
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. Mentioned In This Episode: Proof Vanguard Pen Use discount code "Prepper" 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 Is One of America’s Deadliest Weather Hazards. These Decisions and Actions Save Lives and Property | 29 Jun 2026 | 00:23:26 | |
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 Evacuation and Getting Family Onboard in Prepping | 22 Jun 2026 | 00:23:14 | |
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.

| The Calm Before the Chaos; Preparing For Hurricane Season | 04 May 2026 | 00:31:30 | |
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 | 27 Apr 2026 | 00:35:08 | |
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.

| Prepping Pitfalls: The Mistakes, Myths, Failures, and Lessons Learned | 13 Apr 2026 | 00:27:34 | |
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. If you find value in what we do, if you've learned something new, gotten an idea for something you need to do, been entertained, or just like out Southern charm, would you be willing to give back a little?

| 15 Prepper Uses for Honey That You Should Know | 06 Apr 2026 | 00:29:21 | |
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. If you find value in what we do, if you've learned something new, gotten an idea for something you need to do, been entertained, or just like out Southern charm, would you be willing to give back a little? You can do that one of several ways.

| Ten Prepping Items That Could Save Your Life | 30 Mar 2026 | 00:32:25 | |
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.

| When the Grid Fails: Chronic Illness Continuity Planning | 16 Mar 2026 | 00:28:47 | |
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.

| Cold Makes You Stupid: How Hypothermia and Frostbite Sneak Up on You | 02 Feb 2026 | 00:21:31 | |
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.

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.
