Homesteading and Preparedness with Samantha Biggers of Backdoor Survival

You've spent serious time and resources building out your food storage, securing your water supply, and planning for power disruptions — but if anyone in your household depends on a daily prescription, you may have a critical gap in your preps that could compromise everything else you've built. The problem isn't laziness or ignorance. It's a category mismatch. Most preppers mentally place prescriptions in a different bucket — one that belongs to doctors, pharmacies, and insurance companies — and that psychological wall is exactly why an emergency supply of prescription medications is the most overlooked piece of a serious preparedness plan. FEMA has explicitly identified medication access as a standard preparedness priority, and real-world disasters from hurricanes to supply chain disruptions have proven why that guidance exists.

In this episode, Todd draws from a well-researched guide authored by Dr. James Redford to walk through what a legitimate, practical approach to medical preparedness actually looks like — covering everything from how to stockpile prescription medications legally, to how long expired medication lasts and whether expired medications are safe to take when your options are limited. The episode also addresses the contentious topic of fish antibiotics for SHTF scenarios, what the current landscape looks like for accessing them, and how to think about building out your antibiotic stores responsibly. Whether you're trying to establish an emergency medication plan for elderly parents or simply learning how to store medications at home long term, this episode closes the gap that most preparedness content never touches.

True preparedness means accounting for every dependency your household has — and for millions of families, that dependency includes daily medication. Knowing how to pursue an emergency prescription refill during a disaster, how to document your family's medical needs before a crisis hits, and how to store what you have so it retains maximum potency are fundamental skills that round out everything else you've worked to build. Don't let the one thing you haven't prepped for be the thing that takes you down.

You've spent serious time and resources building out your food storage, securing your water supply, and planning for power disruptions — but if anyone in your household depends on a daily prescription, you may have a critical gap in your preps that could compromise everything else you've built.

Why Most Families Never Think to Store Medications — And What Changes When They Do

Most preppers have a pantry. Fewer have a plan. There's a critical difference between stockpiling food and actually being able to use it when the grid goes down — and that gap is where preparedness either holds or falls apart. If you've invested time and resources building out your food storage, but haven't thought through the full operational reality of cooking under stress, in the dark, for a family that needs to eat, you may be far less prepared than your supply list suggests.

In this third and final installment of the Food Storage That Actually Works series, Todd walks through the overlooked essentials that rarely make it onto standard food storage checklists. From securing reliable fuel sources and heat options for cooking in a grid-down situation, to calculating the water you actually need — not just for hydration, but for cooking and sanitation — this episode closes the gap between having food and being able to prepare it. Todd also covers why spices and seasonings deserve a place in any serious food storage plan, how to think through a realistic cooking scenario before an emergency forces the question, and the kind of clean-up systems that work when running water isn't available.

These aren't advanced topics reserved for hardcore survivalists — they're the foundational details that determine whether your food storage actually functions when it matters most. Serious preppers build systems, not just stockpiles. This episode gives you the lens to look at your existing plan with fresh eyes and fill in the gaps before a real emergency exposes them.

The Forgotten Items - Food Storage that Actually Works - Pt.3

Most preppers have a general sense that food storage matters — but having a few extra cans in the pantry and having a legitimate long-term food supply are two very different things. The gap between those two realities is where preparedness either holds or falls apart. If you've never built a DIY food storage system using 5 gallon food buckets, mylar bags, and oxygen absorbers, you may be less prepared than you think — not because the process is complicated, but because no one has walked you through it in a way that actually makes sense.

In this episode, Todd breaks down exactly what it takes to build food storage buckets that can realistically last up to 25 years. From gathering the right materials — including the truth about whether you actually need food-grade buckets — to the step-by-step process of sealing mylar bags, managing oxygen absorbers, and labeling for long-term organization, this episode covers the full workflow for storing dry goods like rice, beans, oats, pasta, sugar, and salt. Todd also addresses the critical storage conditions and why your water plan is inseparable from your long term food storage strategy.

Building 5 gallon buckets of food is one of the most cost-effective and confidence-building steps a serious prepper can take. Once this system is in place, the anxiety of not knowing whether your family could eat through a prolonged emergency begins to lift — and that peace of mind is exactly what real emergency preparedness is built on. If you've been putting this off, this episode gives you everything you need to move from intent to execution.
