Episode 103 - Update Your Prep Plan Jun 02, 2011

Show notes

With the recent series of extreme disasters that we've been seeing around the world, now is a good time to update your preparedness plan and make sure you have a plan for even those events that aren't likely to happen. Case in point, the earthquake/tsunami/nuclear disaster that's still happening in Japan and the "worst case scenario" tornado that hit Joplin, MO.

Episode 102 - Repacking for Food Storage, Part 3 May 16, 2011

Show notes

This is the third installment of the mini-series about repacking food for your long-term food storage program.

Episode 101 - Repacking for Food Storage, Part 2 Apr 27, 2011

Show notes

Last podcast, I started a small series on Repacking for Food Storage, where I talked about what my goals were and how I was increasing my food storage and how I was going to go about doing that, specifically, in how I was going to repack the bulk foods that I've purchased. In this part, I continue my discussion on the issues I've been having with various aspects of repacking food, including issues with mylar bags and old O2 absorbers. Discussing the various aspects of using Mylar and Foodsaver bags for food storage and giving tips for using both.

Episode 100 - Repacking for Food Storage, Part 1 Apr 12, 2011

Show notes

Up until recently, most of my food storage has been of the 'pantry' storage type. Meaning, most of the foods that we eat on a regular basis bought from the grocery store. We have some long term storage foods in our storage plan, but recently, and for obvious reasons, I've started to increase these. I had some specific ideas on how I wanted to repack some of this food, but it didn't go the way I had hoped.

Show notes

An interview with The Survival Mom, Lisa Bedford, who runs the TheSurivalMom.com website.

Episode 98 - Potassium Iodide Mar 18, 2011

Show notes

As you may have already heard, there is a plume of radiation headed our way from Japan and should reach the US west coast today. Don't Panic! As it looks right now,the amount of radiation is very small, however, the real issue may not be how much radiation exists outside your body, but inside it.

Episode 97 - Avoid Being Too Narrow-Focused Mar 17, 2011

Show notes

Like me, I'm sure a lot of people who are preparing that take advantage of current events to focus on certain aspects of their preparedness planning. For example, the nuclear crisis we're witnessing in Japan is a good reminder that we need to have radiation detection gear and potassium iodide. Some of you may be scrambling to buy these things now, in a sudden realization that you have a void area in your prep plan.

Episode 96 - Thoughts on the Nuclear Crisis Happening in Japan Mar 15, 2011

Show notes

Every day the crisis of Japan's nuclear reactors that were damaged in the earthquake and tsunami gets worse. Currently, one of the reactors is on fire and there's no way to know how much radiation the reactor is leaking and whether it will stay localized or of it poses a threat to other countries. If you don't have potassium iodide or iodate now, good luck finding any. Probably the only sources available are from the 'greedsters' on eBay. This is why we prepare, so we have the resources available when a disaster or crisis event occurs. Once the event happens, the odds that you'll be able to get what you need drop to nil.

Episode 95 - Working Those Prep Muscles Mar 10, 2011

Show notes

Today I recap some of the things that I'm doing to get better prepared and some of the observations that I've noticed with what's going on in the world and how it affects us as preppers.
