Apartment Prepping: Survive in Small Spaces | Episode 460
In Episode 460 of the Survival Punk Podcast, I dive into the often-overlooked world of apartment prepping. Just because you live in a small space doesn’t mean you’re out of options — it means you have to get smarter.
If you’re stuck in an apartment, condo, or even just renting a room, this episode is for you. I cover real-world, no-BS ways to turn your tiny space into a survival stronghold.
Reinforce What You’ve Got
Most apartment doors are one kick away from wide open. In this episode, I talk about how to reinforce your front door — from simple tricks like a door jammer or barricade bar, to upgrading your strike plate or installing a door armor kit.
When the power’s out and the neighborhood’s on edge, you don’t want your door to be the easiest one on the block.
Where the Hell Do You Store Food?
Apartment preppers face one brutal reality: limited storage. But space is never the real problem — creativity is.
Here are just a few hacks from the show:
Raise your bed and store tubs or buckets underneath.
Use false backs behind books on your shelves.
Tuck long-term food inside empty suitcases, toolboxes, or unused closets.
Stack cans behind furniture or even inside ottomans and footlockers.
This isn’t hoarder mode. It’s being ready when everyone else is panicking.
Mindset: Maximize, Not Minimize
Apartment prepping isn’t about giving up — it’s about going lean, tight, and smart. You can build layers of security, backup water, power options, and even small-scale gardening systems in a space smaller than most garages.
You don’t need five acres to be prepared. You need intentionality.
Final Thought: The City Mouse Doesn’t Have to Die First
Don’t let YouTube bushcrafters shame you. Prepping in the city — or in an apartment — is just as legit. In fact, when SHTF, you’ll probably have fewer deer and more desperate people. That’s a threat worth preparing for.
Listen to Episode 460 and make your apartment collapse-ready.
