Ready Your Future - A Prepper Podcast

Are preppers really crazy?  Here are 13 faqs about preppers.

Prepper's Are Crazy, Right?

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.

How to Stay Warm When You Have No Power!

When disaster strikes, most people only think about the immediate impact—but what happens next? In this episode of Ready Your Future, we dive deep into strategic prepping by exploring the often-overlooked world of 2nd level effects and 3rd level effects that can turn a manageable situation into a full-blown crisis. Understanding these ripple effects is what separates prepared individuals from those caught off guard when the dominoes start falling.

Being a strategic prepper means thinking beyond the obvious. A city-wide flood doesn't just damage your home—it disrupts supply chains, closes businesses, contaminates water, and creates health hazards that compound over days and weeks. This episode walks you through real-world examples, including lessons learned from Hurricane Harvey, to show exactly how emergencies scale and why your preparedness plan needs to account for these cascading consequences.

Whether you're just starting your preparedness journey or you're a seasoned prepper looking to level up your planning, this episode provides a framework for 2nd level prepping that will transform how you approach emergency readiness. You'll learn practical methods for mapping out chain reactions, auditing your current preps against deeper scenarios, and developing the "preparedness spidey sense" that helps you see around corners before trouble arrives. Strategic prepping isn't about fear—it's about thinking through problems before they happen so you can live proactively rather than reactively

We usually deal with the 1st level effects of an emergency, the most immediate impact.  But to be a strategic prepper, you need to consider how to prep for 2nd and 3rd level effects.
