In the world of prepping, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of acquiring gear, stocking up on supplies, and fortifying your defenses.
However, one crucial principle often overlooked is the simple fact that you can't eat gear.
We have two episodes today: "You can't eat gear", and "non-medication ways to deal with arthritis, now or in a grid-down event."

We have two segments for you today.

After a natural disaster, there are several items that many people may not have on hand but may be needed for survival and recovery. We are going to use an exercise scenario of a category three hurricane. That's the first segment.

 In the second segment, (starting at 31:25) we are going to address the warning that Texas authorities gave to their residents in the path of the total eclipse on April 8, 2024. It panicked some people, so we are going to dig into that.

It's important to study history and learn from the experiences.
The Great Depression, a challenging period in history, offers several lessons that can be applied to prepping.
This first segment is more about the hard times we may come to face, not about surviving some great apocalyptic event leaving us grid down for an extended times.
The 2nd segment details my recent bout with strep throat and an upper respiratory infection, which caused me to ponder how I would have fared in a grid-down situation. Third segment is some how-to's on keeping food long-term in the freezer.

If you live in an apartment, you probably lack space, but there are many situations you can prepare for should the need ever occur.
Here are twelve tips for the apartment prepper, and they work in any small space.

Chris Weatherman, also known A. American, or Angery American, (not a typo) is the author of twenty-two books, including The Survivalist Series."  His book, "Going Home" was one of the early books in the post apocalyptic genre, and it's a good read.

Chris is a life-long student of survival skills, a teacher and speaker, and an expert on survival skills. 

This is an interview with him, where we discuss getting started in solar power, and a little bit about HAM radio and it's importance in prepper communications.
