Having been gone for a number of years, a new podcast has been published. In addition to a summary of why the podcast hasn't been updated, I discuss the several different types of preppers and prepping. The internet would make you believe you need to be all of these in order to truly be a prepper, and I talk about why this isn't even remotely true.

Exercising is an important aspect in preparing for disasters. Unfortunately, too many people don't stay active and pack on the weight and get out of shape. If you're a prepper, staying fit should be just as important as food storage, water treatment, or any of your preparedness areas.
