In this episode, I’ll be going over stepping out of our prepping comforts zones and being honest with ourselves about how prepared we really are. It’s common for preppers to become complacent from time to time, but it sure seems like now is the time to take stock and prep up. 



I’ll also be going over the recent bank closures and how that affects us. Is this a sign that things are about to get even worse for the economy? And what can we do to soften the blow if/when it does?

In this show, Local Prepper and I will discuss the similarities between the Roman Republic and Our Republic and where we might be headed. While nothing is written in stone, there are many lessons to learn about how we should prepare in the coming years.



Along the same lines, we’ll discuss where technology, society, and our “Leaders” might be taking us. It seems as though things are about to change in a big way, but will it be good, bad, or a mix of both?



Local Prepper also has some information on PrepStock 2024, which, as the website states, is the ultimate gathering of preppers, homesteaders, and survivalists! Learn from real preppers, ask questions, and meet like-minded people.

SPP407 WE ARE ROME! – It’s Time To Pay Attention










In this show, I have a special guest, Anthony from HomeFront Firearms Training, with me to discuss firearms, medical supplies, situational awareness, and important everyday carry items. 



I also have a few questions the group members have asked us to discuss, including what to do if you are first on the scene of an active shooter and concealed carry weapons. 



We went into quite a bit of detail about what medical supplies you should keep in your vehicle and why it’s important to get first aid training to accompany them. In addition to the first aid supplies, we also discussed other EDC (Everyday Carry) supplies we should consider. 



To get a better idea of the classes Anthony offers and what he is doing, visit his website here.

SPP406: Self Defense, EDC, & Firearms With Home Front Training










Are you prepared for any emergency situation? In this video, I will discuss the top 10 bug-out bag supplies that are essential for survival. Whether you are planning for a natural disaster, a sudden evacuation, or a complete collapse, having the right prepping supplies can make all the difference.



Our list includes the best bug out bag items that you should have in your arsenal. I go over starting fires and first aid because starting a fire is crucial for warmth, cooking, and building shelter. The most important may be water, which is essential for hydration and survival. We will also cover the importance of food and the best options for a bug out situation.



Next, we dive into cordage, which is essential for building shelters, creating traps, and securing equipment. A reliable knife is another must-have item, as it serves multiple purposes, such as cutting, self-defense, and survival tasks. We will also discuss the best options for shelter, including tents, tarps, and emergency blankets.



Throughout the video, we will provide recommendations for the best bug out bag available and prepping gear that will enhance your chances of survival. Finally, we will highlight the importance of a reliable flashlight, as it will be your light source during dark times.



While these ten items are the most critical for a bug out bag, remember to customize your bag to fit your specific needs and circumstances. Consider factors like your environment, climate, personal health needs, and the skills you possess. A well-prepared bug out bag can be your lifeline in a crisis, providing you with the essentials to survive and signaling the first step toward recovery in the aftermath of a disaster.



Join us as we explore the top 10 bug out bag supplies that every survivalist should have. Be prepared, equipped, and confident in your ability to handle any emergency. Don’t wait until it’s too late – start building your bug out bag today with the best prepping supplies available.







In this video, we will be sharing 20 cheap items that preppers can hoard or barter with during times of crisis.



When preparing for a disaster, consider low-cost, easily accessible items that can serve multiple purposes. We understand that not everyone has a huge budget, so we have compiled this list of everyday items you can stockpile without breaking the bank.



One of the most essential items for any prepper is a reliable source of fire. That’s why we recommend investing in affordable and easy-to-store lighters. They can be used to start fires, light candles, and even as a bartering tool.



Another crucial item that often gets overlooked is toilet paper. During a crisis, traditional methods of personal hygiene may no longer be available, making toilet paper a valuable commodity. Stocking up on this essential item will ensure your comfort and provide you with a trading item if needed.



Additionally, we will discuss important prepping supplies such as cooking fuel. Propane and butane canisters are relatively inexpensive and can be used with portable stoves or camping cookware. Having a good supply of cooking fuel will enable you to prepare meals even when no electricity or gas is available.



By hoarding or bartering with these inexpensive everyday items, you can greatly enhance your preparedness level without straining your budget. Remember,

Fire is a crucial element for survival, providing warmth, light, and the ability to cook food. We’ll discuss different fire-starting methods and the essential fire-making tools every prepper should have in their arsenal.
