In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re talking prepper clothing — not tactical cosplay, but real-world clothes that keep you alive, mobile, and ready for anything. The best part? You don’t have to spend a fortune. From thrift stores to yard sales, we cover how to find quality gear dirt cheap — and how to store it so it’s ready when you need it.

Listen to Episode 411 and build a wardrobe that works as hard as you do.
