It’s easy to call yourself a prepper — it’s harder to prove it. In this episode, Coby and Cam break down the “Prepper Audit”: a brutally honest self-check to find out if you’re actually ready or just feeling ready. We cover the six core areas every prepper should review, the most common weak spots, and simple fixes to get your readiness back on track before an emergency hits.

Why most people think they’re more prepared than they are.

How to check your real readiness instead of your imagined readiness.

Why prepping is never “set it and forget it.”
