Ready Your Future - A Prepper Podcast

EP. 94 - Cut Off During An Emergency, Power Options, Things to Never Throw Away

Most preppers understand that gardening is a cornerstone of long-term self-reliance, yet far too many operate under a dangerous assumption: that growing food is simply a matter of seeds, soil, and water. The reality is that every garden faces an inevitable adversary—pests that can decimate weeks of careful cultivation in a matter of days. If your preparedness plan includes food production but lacks a reliable, organic solution for pest control, you've built your garden on a foundation that could collapse when you need it most.

In this episode, Todd shares a time-tested neem oil recipe he's used successfully in his own garden, along with the critical details that make the difference between an effective treatment and wasted effort. You'll learn why this particular approach to organic gardening matters for preppers who refuse to compromise their soil with harsh chemicals, how to properly mix and apply the solution for maximum effectiveness against garden pests, and the storage considerations that most people overlook—mistakes that render even the best organic bug recipe useless. Todd also addresses the broader preparedness implications of having this capability when supply chains fail and garden stores are no longer an option.

For those serious about genuine food independence, understanding how to protect your harvest isn't optional—it's fundamental knowledge. Whether you're currently maintaining a productive garden or building toward that goal, these are the practical, organic pest control skills that separate those who can actually feed themselves from those who merely think they can.

Your Secret Gardening Recipe to Fight Bugs

Most preppers measure their readiness against an impossible standard—the mythical perfect prepper with unlimited acreage, boundless resources, and zero real-world constraints. This false benchmark creates a dangerous illusion that keeps otherwise capable individuals from recognizing their actual preparedness level. The truth is far more nuanced and, frankly, more achievable than the prepper community often admits. When you strip away the Instagram-worthy setups and forum bragging, genuine preparedness isn't about matching someone else's checklist. It's about developing reliable prepper skills and prepper abilities that function within your specific reality, whether that's an urban apartment, a suburban home with a resistant spouse, or a rural property you're managing solo as you age.

In this episode, Todd examines why the pursuit of perfect prepper status actually undermines effective preparedness. Drawing from Daisy Luther's eye-opening article "There Isn't Just One Way to Prep," he breaks down the critical variables that determine real survival readiness—from financial limitations and physical capabilities to family dynamics and geographic constraints. You'll discover why that Montana homesteader with two years of freeze-dried food might be less prepared than you think, and more importantly, how to assess and build upon your actual situation rather than chasing an unattainable ideal. Todd adds his own scenarios for preppers facing family resistance, demonstrating practical approaches for making consistent progress even when your household isn't fully on board.

This episode matters because the reality is that one step forward always beats standing still, and your unique situation—with all its constraints and compromises—is far more valid than the prepper community typically acknowledges. Whether you're navigating budget limitations, health concerns, unsupportive family members, or simply the reality of aging, these insights will help you build sustainable preparedness that actually works for your life, not someone else's fantasy scenario.

There is No Perfect Prepper!

Most preppers assume their fire-making capabilities are squared away—a lighter in the drawer, maybe a ferro rod tucked into a bag somewhere. But owning fire-starting tools and actually being able to create fire under pressure are two very different things. When temperatures drop, conditions turn wet, and your hands are shaking, the gap between "I have a fire kit" and "I can reliably make fire" becomes the difference between recovery and catastrophe. This episode challenges you to honestly assess whether your fire-making setup and skills would hold up when it actually matters.

Todd breaks down the hierarchy of fire-starting tools and why the order matters, examines the critical preparation steps that most failed fire attempts skip entirely, and addresses the technique errors that plague even experienced outdoorsmen. Beyond the mechanics, this episode tackles fire kit philosophy—what actually belongs in a compact, reliable kit versus what just takes up space. From understanding why certain budget options consistently fail to knowing how to source dry material when everything around you is soaked, the discussion moves through the practical realities of fire-making that armchair preppers rarely consider.

Fire-making isn't just a wilderness survival skill—it's foundational to emergency preparedness, self-reliance, and your EDC strategy. Whether you're building redundancy into your everyday carry or pressure-testing your current fire kit setup, this episode delivers the essential knowledge that separates those who think they're prepared from those who actually are. These are the skills that matter when the grid fails and modern conveniences disappear.
