Every prepper has one area they obsess over—guns, food, first aid, comms—but very few have all the bases covered. It’s human nature to focus on what we like or what we’re good at. The problem? Your blind spot is where reality punches you in the face.

In Episode 398, we’re talking about those blind spots—what they are, how to find yours, and why being strong in one area won’t save you if you’re weak in another.

Many preppers are stacked to the ceiling with ammo but barely have a trauma kit—and no idea how to use one. If you or someone in your group gets injured, it doesn’t matter how much gear you have if you bleed out in 10 minutes.

You can have the best bug-out bag in the world, but if you can’t carry it 3 miles, it’s a liability. Prepping isn’t just storing supplies—it’s prepping your body to endure stress, movement, and discomfort.

Everyone loves the gear talk. Few talk about mental health. Can you stay calm in a panic? Can you function under pressure? Will you hold your group together—or break down when it gets hard?

So many preppers have shelves of food but no plan for water past a few cases of bottled spring. Water is heavy, it’s life or death, and it’s one of the first things to disappear in any real disaster.

If the grid is down and phones are dead—how will you contact your family? Do you know how to use a ham radio? Do you even own one?

It’s one thing to have a plan. It’s another to run it. Have you ever tested your bug-out plan? Have you ever done a no-power weekend? A zero-spend week? Theory and experience are two very different things.

Prepping is about humility. It’s not about being invincible—it’s about being ready to fail smart. Every prepper has blind spots. The good ones go looking for them. The great ones fix them.

So ask yourself: what’s the thing you don’t want to think about? That’s probably where you need to focus next.

Don’t wait until it’s a problem. Find it now. Fix it while you can.

Because the disaster won’t care about your strengths. It’ll attack your weaknesses.
