    • Family-Friendly Content: Our podcast maintains clean, judgment-free advice that’s appropriate for all ages—prioritizing practicality over paranoia.

    • Weather emergencies like tornadoes, hurricanes, and winter storms
    • Power outages and water disruptions
    • Financial preparedness and debt reduction

    • Everyday carry essentials
    • Food storage and preservation
    • First aid and medical preparedness
    • Much more

    Thanks to you, this is our one year anniversary episode! That's right, we have completed our first year in podcasting. It has been fun, and we sure have learned a lot.

    We appreciate our listeners sharing the podcasts. Because of you we are growing at a rate of about 30% per month. That is amazing, and we are humbled by this.

    Today is part one of a two part series on "When the power goes out."

    We've covered power outages before, but this goes into more depth as we address the four main concerns in power outages; sanitation, heat, light, food and water.

    In part one, we cover sanitation and light.

    Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 110, "Why a lever action rifle may be a good choice for SHTF"

    Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

    Also, check out the redesigned website. We have added a blog for announcements, updates, and listener interaction.

    Our topic is, "Why a lever action may be a good choice for SHTF"

    The lever action is a versatile rifle, with a very dependable action.
    It has probably killed more game than all other rifles combined, and is available in a wide choice of calibers

    Thety are fun to shoot, are good hunting rifles, and I wouldn't discount it's "grey man" worth, either. In a time when Black Rifles attract too much attention or are out and out banned, the lever gun and its wheeled partner just might fly under the radar.

    Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 107, "We Discuss, And 'bust,' Six Myths About Prepping And Preppers"

    Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.com

    Prepping Is about more than storing food and water, stocking guns, ammo, tacticool gear, bunkers, and giant bug out vehicles, or living off the land.
    Its about being prepared for life's "normal" emergencies.

    In this episode, we "bust" six myths some people believe are true.

    Myth # 1: All you need is food and water
    Truth: Prepping Is about more than storing food and water

    Myth # 2: All preppers buy into conspiracy theories
    Truth: Most preppers are normal, very stable, regular people.

    Myth # 3: You need lots of guns, ammo, and tacticool gear.
    Truth: While many preppers are gun owners, many are not. Prepping is about more than stocking guns, ammo, and tactical gear, unless you believe zombies or aliens from space will be the issue

    Myth # 4: To be a prepper, you have to have a bug out location in the boonies and be able to go off-grid
    Truth: No, you really don't.

    Myth # 5: You have to have a big, older model, bug-out vehicle
    Truth: Prepping does not require a go-anywhere bug-out-vehicle

    Truth # 6 You don't have to be crazy to be a prepper.
    Truth: But it helps!
