You may have stocked your shelves and assembled your gear, but have you honestly assessed where you stand as a prepper heading into 2026? In this candid conversation, Todd sits down with longtime preparedness thought leader Paul Martin to confront an uncomfortable truth facing the preparedness community: too many preppers have grown complacent, mistakenly believing that political outcomes or the absence of recent catastrophe somehow insulate them from what's coming. The data tells a different story, and both Todd and Paul have watched this pattern repeat across election cycles and quiet years alike. If your commitment to preparedness rises and falls with headlines or who occupies the White House, this episode delivers the reality check you need. Paul and Todd examine the current landscape of prepping in 2026, exploring why serious preppers must shift their focus from predicting the next big event to building genuine resilience that transcends any single scenario. They discuss what separates those who are truly prepared from the "throw it in the closet just in case" crowd, why community has become the missing link in most preparedness plans, and how the preparedness community can move beyond consuming content to taking meaningful action. From evaluating your actual inventory to building networks within walking distance of your home, this conversation offers the strategic perspective that seasoned preppers and newcomers alike need to hear. Whether you've been preparing for decades or are just recognizing that self-reliance is non-negotiable, this episode challenges you to move beyond passive accumulation toward purposeful readiness. The fundamentals discussed here are universal, applicable whether the disruption comes from natural disaster, economic instability, or geopolitical conflict. The time to assess your gaps, test your systems, and build your local network is now, while supplies are available and you have the luxury of thoughtful preparation rather than panicked reaction.

I agree with other reviews that say this podcast gives out lots of vague information that is mostly common sense. There are plenty of better options for people who are trying to be more prepared for the craziness these days. One of my favorites is the fieldcraft survival podcast with Mike Glover, several former army SF guys talking about things that make sense and are actually applicable in the real world.
For the oatmeal we use steel cut oats. ome large bag here in New Brunswick is around $8 Cdn. It will fill a large whey protien container. We slice apple and set the oatmeal I'm a small slow cooler over night with cinnamon and brown sugar add an extra cup of water so it doesn't go dry by morning. Powdered milk we add to a bannock dry mix and seal in add water portions for a ready mix on hikes etc. Great podcast glad I found it .listen to it while working nights makes the shift go by. Cheers Rick

cloche is a french word meaning 'bell' 😁
Listed to multiple episodes over the last few months and I don't feel it's worth the time. Most of the info is very vague and generic and a lot of it is common sense. The speaker reads articles about various topics that have been posted on the website, then gives an opinion of his own on some of the subject matter. throughout different articles, the same subjects come up like solar power, long term food storage, etc. I've noticed that his opinion on several topics are contradictary from episode to episode. Some of the opinions he forms are based on pure lack of knowledge of the subject he is talking about. This is less than useless and a waste of time.
