Prepping on Autopilot | Episode 358

Prepping doesn’t have to be a time-consuming task. With the right systems in place, you can automate your preparedness efforts, ensuring that you and your family are always ready for whatever comes your way. In this episode of the Survivalpunk Podcast, we dive into strategies for putting prepping on autopilot so you can focus on other aspects of life while still staying prepared.

Automating Food Storage

Keeping a well-stocked pantry and long-term food supply is essential, but manually managing your inventory can be a hassle. Thankfully, several subscription services now make it easy to build and maintain your emergency food storage with little effort. Some excellent options include:

  • Valley Food Storage – A subscription service that delivers long-lasting, high-quality survival food on a monthly basis, helping you gradually build your stockpile.
  • Ready Project – Offers a variety of emergency food kits with convenient monthly delivery, ensuring you always have a supply of nutritious, long-lasting meals.
  • ReadyWise – Known for its freeze-dried and dehydrated food kits, ReadyWise helps automate food storage with bulk meal plans designed for long-term use.
  • Ready Supply Foods – Provides high-calorie, long-term food storage solutions to help preppers stay prepared without constantly monitoring their supplies.
    • Automating Water Security

    Having access to clean water is just as important as food storage. Consider setting up:

    • Rainwater Collection Systems – Install rain barrels with filtration to collect and store clean water for emergencies.
    • Water Delivery Subscriptions – Some services allow you to receive large water containers regularly so you always have an emergency supply.
    • Filtration Systems – Invest in a high-quality gravity-fed water filter that continuously purifies water without requiring electricity.
      • Automating Finances for Prepping

      Prepping can get expensive, but you can make it more manageable by automating your financial contributions:

      • Dedicated Prepping Savings Account – Set up an automatic transfer to a separate account for emergency preparedness expenses.
      • Auto-Refill for Essential Supplies – Use online retailers like Amazon’s Subscribe & Save to get regular shipments of key survival items like batteries, first-aid supplies, and hygiene products.
        • Automating Skills Development

        Being prepared isn’t just about stockpiling supplies—you need to develop survival skills too. Here are ways to ensure consistent learning:

        • Online Course Subscriptions – Platforms like Skillshare and Udemy offer survival and homesteading courses on demand.
        • Local Class Sign-Ups – Many community centers offer self-defense, first aid, and gardening courses that you can register for in advance.
        • Scheduled Practice Days – Set reminders on your phone for regular skill-building activities, such as practicing fire-starting, cooking with stored food, or testing gear.
          • Automating Communication & Alerts

          Staying informed is crucial in an emergency. Set up these automated systems to keep yourself updated:

          • NOAA Weather Alerts – Get real-time updates on severe weather by enabling notifications from NOAA and emergency apps.
          • Emergency Contact Lists – Use apps like Signal or Zello to create pre-set emergency communication plans with friends and family.
          • Automated Check-In Systems – Set up scheduled check-ins with loved ones via text or email during emergency situations.
            • Final Thoughts

            Prepping on autopilot is all about setting up systems that work for you without constant intervention. By automating your food, water, finances, skills, and communication strategies, you can ensure that your preparedness efforts continue smoothly in the background of your daily life. In this episode, we discuss these strategies and more to help you create a self-sustaining prepping plan with minimal effort.
