What happens when holiday prep, tool talk, and winter survival collide? On this episode of Fix It Radio, host John Rush and co-host Larry Unger kick off Thanksgiving week with a lively, hands-on guide to smarter homeownership—packed with practical wisdom, real listener questions, and a few surprises you won't see coming.

Looking for the perfect tool gift for the hard-to-shop-for DIYer? John and Larry reveal why choosing the right tool platform, minimizing battery charger overload, and understanding someone's "mechanical rating" might be the key to buying a gift they'll actually use. What essential tools does almost every homeowner overlook? And which cordless vacuums, inflators, or ratchets are worth grabbing before Black Friday hits?

Listeners step into the conversation with real-world dilemmas—like Jerry from Greeley, asking whether battery-powered snowblowers can finally replace gas machines. Are single-stage or two-stage models better for Colorado's unpredictable storms? Could battery tech make winter cleanup easier than ever?

Then Steve calls in with a twist: travel CO detectors, Airbnb safety gaps, and the surprising new wave of security tech that might soon replace Wi-Fi systems altogether. Heard of Terra Firma? Their light-based security systems could change everything. The episode even detours into futuristic territory—fuel cells, natural gas, and the bizarre issues John sees at gas stations every week.

As the hour winds down, the hosts share hidden-gem gift ideas, like LED paddle lights that instantly transform any garage, shop, or workspace.

Whether you're prepping for winter, upgrading your toolbox, or hunting for the perfect Christmas gift… this episode asks the questions every homeowner should be thinking about—and answers the ones you didn't know you had.

What happens when the biggest threat to your readiness isn’t a natural disaster… but the clutter in your own home? On this episode of https://Ready-Radio.com, host John Rush and co-host Bill Anderson (https://Prep2Protect.com) dig into a rarely discussed but deeply necessary survival skill: organizing your life before life organizes it for you.

From the emotional weight of inherited possessions to garages overflowing with duplicate tools, John and Bill unravel how “stuff” quietly drains your time, energy, and preparedness. Why do we hold onto items we never use? Why does sentimentality sometimes turn into suffocating storage—and how do you break that cycle without betraying the memories behind the objects?

John shares his hard-earned lessons after sorting through years of his parents’ belongings following their passing. Bill brings the pastoral lens: are your conversations with family about possessions turning into debates—or opportunities for self-discovery? Together, they explore practical strategies for reducing chaos, creating zones, mapping your spaces, and developing routines that transform your home into a functional, stress-free environment.

And here’s the twist: preparedness isn’t about stockpiling. It’s about lifestyle design. Are you rotating your pantry? Are your tools where you actually need them? Could you leave your home on short notice, or would your possessions slow you down when it matters most?

This episode packs real-life wisdom, heartfelt honesty, and unexpectedly emotional conversations into one powerful hour—challenging you to rethink what you own, why you own it, and how it affects your readiness for the “what-ifs” of life.

Are you prepared… or just buried?

What happens when Toyota resurrects an icon—but strips away the old luxury, amps up the rugged capability, and drops in a turbo-hybrid powertrain built for altitude? Is the new 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser still worthy of its legendary badge… or is it an entirely new beast?

John Rush and Richard Rush take you inside the wheel of Toyota’s redesigned off-roader: a 5-passenger, i-Force Max hybrid SUV built for adventure but tuned for everyday comfort. But here’s the question—can it compete with Broncos, Wranglers, and even the Land Rover Defender… while still keeping that unmistakable Toyota reliability?

How does it really drive at Colorado altitude? Does the hybrid deliver more power and better fuel economy? Is the new design closer to the GX… or the beloved FJ? And at a price in the low-to-mid $60s, is this Toyota the smartest buy in the adventure SUV world?

If you’re shopping off-roaders, comparing hybrids, or wondering whether Toyota reinvented a legend—or replaced it—you won’t want to miss this review.
