7 Water Processing Skills Every Prepper Must Know  to Survive!

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.

The Prepper Community is Dying — Here's What's Really Happening

Think you're prepared for 2026? Before you answer, consider this: when was the last time you actually verified that your preps are still viable and your plans still make sense? In this episode, Todd Sepulveda kicks off the new year with a comprehensive look back at 2025's major events—both the headlines that dominated the news cycle and the ones you may have already forgotten—and examines what they reveal about the challenges preppers should anticipate moving forward.

This episode goes beyond year-in-review territory to deliver practical guidance for the year ahead. Todd shares insights from his most downloaded content of 2025, discusses critical infrastructure concerns that should be on every prepper's radar, and outlines a three-part framework for approaching preparedness in 2026. You'll be challenged to examine whether you actually have what you think you have, whether your plans account for second and third level effects, and whether you're balancing readiness with actually living your life.

As we enter a year that's already proving unpredictable, this episode provides the reset serious preppers need. The skills discussed here aren't theoretical—they're the fundamental practices that separate those who are genuinely prepared from those who simply believe they are. Take inventory, verify your plans, and widen your view of what could happen next.

Will Your Preps Pay-Off? Prepared for 2026!

Are you preparing for what's actually likely to happen, or have you been caught up in prepping for fantasy scenarios? As we close out 2025 and start looking back at our preparedness efforts, this episode challenges you to do some honest reflection on your prepping journey. Looking back at 2025, it's easy to realize that our concerns shift, our priorities change, and sometimes what felt urgent in January looks completely different by December.

Whether you're prepping for the new year or simply want to evaluate what worked (and what didn't), these three powerful reflection questions will help you assess where you've been and where you're headed. You'll discover how to identify the "busy work" preps that gave you little real peace of mind versus the actions that truly moved the needle.

This episode also digs into a hard truth many preppers don't want to hear—if 90% of your preparation addresses only 1% of probability, you might be building resilience in a fantasy world rather than for the disruptions you actually face. Preparing for 2026 starts with understanding where you've been, so grab a cup of coffee, take some time for prepper reflections, and let's get honest about preparedness in 2026.
