Ready Your Future - A Prepper Podcast

If you couldn't go to the store, could you grow enough food for your family?  Here are some important things to consider.

How to Grow Enough Food

Most preppers have stockpiled food, water, and medical supplies, but far fewer have seriously considered what happens when the cleaning products run out. In a prolonged SHTF scenario, sanitation isn't a convenience—it's the difference between a manageable situation and a cascading health crisis that can take down an entire household. The flu doesn't stop because supply chains have collapsed. Foodborne illness doesn't care that you can't run to the store for more disinfectant. If your preparedness plan relies on commercial cleaners with limited shelf lives, you may be far less prepared than you think.

In this episode, Todd breaks down the essential knowledge every serious prepper needs for maintaining a sanitary living environment when resupply isn't an option. You'll learn which common items offer indefinite shelf stability for SHTF cleaning purposes, why the solutions you've read about in prepper forums may not work the way you assume, and the critical distinctions that could mean the difference between effective disinfection and false confidence. This isn't about stockpiling more products—it's about understanding the science behind sanitation so you can adapt and create what you need from shelf-stable supplies you can store for years.

The ability to maintain a clean, disease-free environment is a fundamental skill that protects everything else you've worked to build. These aren't theoretical concerns—they're the practical realities that will define quality of life in any extended grid-down or collapse scenario.

You need to know how to stay healthy in an SHTF scenario by being able to disinfect and sanitize your home.

SHTF Cleaning: How to Disinfect and Sanitize Your Home When the Supply Chain Collapses

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.
