    Mental Fortitude: Staying Calm & Thinking Straight When Disaster Strikes Oct 27, 2025
    Show notes

    When disaster hits, panic spreads fast, but calm is contagious. In this episode, Mark and Krista talk about one of the most powerful, and overlooked, preparedness skills: your mindset.

    You’ll learn how to manage stress when life gets chaotic, what to watch for when anxiety sneaks up on you, and how to recognize when others might be struggling, too. They share simple, practical tools, like breathing techniques, building routines, and limiting information overload, that help you think clearly when it matters most.

    Because when the power’s out, the storm’s raging, or everything seems uncertain, your most important prep isn’t in your backpack, it’s in your head.

    You’ve heard the frustration. You’ve seen the memes. Maybe you’ve even wondered — what does FEMA actually do?

    How To Practice "Minimalist Prepping" In Our Get Home Bags Sep 15, 2025
    Show notes

    We've all seen the memes of the 400 lb dude carrying a 400 lb bug out bag
    Everything he could ever want in there. That's not at all practical.
    Actually, many of us probably carry more in our bags than we need, and that adds weight, especially in a get home bag we might have to wear for an extended period of time.
    On today's episode we are going to discuss How To Practice "Minimalist Prepping" In Our Get Home Bags, and these principles can be practiced in our prepping at home as well.
