Cultivating a survival mindset is necessary for staying calm, focused, and resilient in emergencies. This mindset doesn’t develop overnight, but with consistent effort and practice, you can condition yourself to face challenges with confidence.

Today we are going to cover four segments. We have "Mental Preparedness for Preppers part 2".  We also  have segments on tornado season, avoiding scams, and a gear review.

Everyone carries something with them every day. Most people carry keys, identification, phone, and cash/debit card at a minimum. But there are a number of other things that we, as practical preppers, should have with us for all those things that come up throughout the day. That is what we are talking about every day carry, or EDC.
