These are the things you're most likely to need after a disaster and the main categories you should provide for in your packs and preparedness plans. There are also 5 main scenarios you should consider when making your plans. I discuss these topics - and more - on the latest episode of the Preparedness Podcast. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/episode-245-priorities-of-survival-planning-scenarios/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast245.mp3 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 13:44:40 -0700 Education clean 01:01:57 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios Rob Hanus - The Preparedness Podcast Local School Shooting Threat - School Safety- Heartbreaking Change - NK Issues A recent threat to my kids' high school and the lack of school safety and security.

Having been gone for a number of years, a new podcast has been published. In addition to a summary of why the podcast hasn't been updated, I discuss the several different types of preppers and prepping. The internet would make you believe you need to be all of these in order to truly be a prepper, and I talk about why this isn't even remotely true. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/episode-243-the-different-prepper-types/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast243.mp3 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 15:40:40 -0700 Education clean 00:38:51 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios Rob Hanus - The Preparedness Podcast Staying Fit for Preparedness. Exercising is an important aspect in preparing for disasters. Unfortunately, too many people don't stay active and pack on the weight and get out of shape. If you're a prepper, staying fit should be just as important as food storage, water treatment, or any of your preparedness areas. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/episode-242-staying-fit-for-preparedness/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast242.mp3 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 21:38:46 -0700 Education clean 00:51:01 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios Rob Hanus - The Preparedness Podcast My interview with Steve Konkoly and Randy Powers, co-authors of the book, Practical Prepping (No Apocalypse Required).

Overall Topics: Passing along a suggestion by a listener for developing situational awareness using sketches. If you’re a beginner prepper, get trained in survival skills. We’ve covered this before, but it’s always a good reminder to either get skills, develop new skills, or brush up on the skills you have.

Because we want to stay ahead of the curve when it comes time to do things like bug out or enact other parts of our preparedness plan, getting timely information is critical. This podcast is the interview with Steven Aukstakalnis of AlertsUSA.com. AlertsUSA.com is an alert service unlike any other that I've used. It provides a nearly instant alert for events that happen across the globe and especially the USA. The alerts are sent via SMS directly to your phone, so you'll be notified of major events, even if you're not near a TV, radio or computer. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/episode-206-stay-informed/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast206.mp3 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 23:06:31 -0700 Education clean 00:52:03 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios Rob Hanus - The Preparedness Podcast NOTE TO PARENTS - Unlike my other shows, this is not a podcast to listen to with your kids.

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. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/episode-101-repacking-for-food-storage-part-2/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast101.mp3 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 11:53:00 -0700 Society & Culture no 00:24:46 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios The Preparedness Podcast Buy bulk food and repackage, part 1. 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. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/episode-100-repacking-for-food-storage-part-1/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast100.mp3 Tue, 12 Apr 2011 21:02:00 -0700 Society & Culture no 00:19:19 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios The Preparedness Podcast An interview with The Survival Mom, Lisa Bedford.

Don't Panic! 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. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/episode-98-potassium-iodide/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast98.mp3 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 12:45:00 -0700 Society & Culture no 00:17:03 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios The Preparedness Podcast While omissions in your preparedness plan need to be taken care of, don't get so caught up in a single event that you get blindsided by something else. 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. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/episode-97-avoid-being-too-narrow-focused/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast97.mp3 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 17:49:00 -0700 Society & Culture no 00:12:00 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios The Preparedness Podcast Every day the crisis of Japan's nuclear reactors that were damaged in the earthquake and tsunami gets worse. 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. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/the-preparedness-podcast-episode-97-thoughts-on-the-nuclear-crisis-happening-in-japan/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast96.mp3 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 17:56:00 -0700 Society & Culture no 00:17:39 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios The Preparedness Podcast A recap of 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.

Rob, Greg, and Mike return in Episode 16 to finish off the "100 Items to Disappear First in a Disaster Situation" with items 51-100. As originally approached in Episode 14, The PPC crew tries to help people cut through sea of information by offering a review of the "100" list while stressing that the list should be approached as a "think" list as opposed to a definite and finite source for preparedness information. It's important as preppers, to never take items like the "100 list" as gold standard, but instead use sources as spring boards or inspiration for your own personal preparedness plan. Preparedness is something that requires active participation and enormous amounts of personalization to be successful. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/episode-16-miscellaneous-preparedness-tips-continued/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast16.mp3 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:00:00 -0700 Society & Culture no 02:17:42 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios The Preparedness Podcast First Aid Kits and Medical Kits. Rob, Greg, and Mike return in Episode 15 to discuss First Aid Kits and Medical Kits. Lead by Mike, an EMT of 10 years, the group addresses some of the common and uncommon questions brought up when creating, carrying, and maintaining this vital part of anyone's preparedness plan. Some of the questions or issued addressed by the PPC team are: What do you want to accomplish with FAK/MK (med kit) Can't be done with one Bag, etc. Don't try to overload Kits Don't try to do too much with FAK. Will never be a definitive care option. Do familiarize yourself with items, supplies, and equipment. Don't include supplies you cannot use or don't know how to use. Do practice with supplies, just like everything else. Having ALS supplies ( IV's, non-prescription medications, etc) will not typically benefit you. Use of these items is dangerous. Exception is if you can find an advanced provider (Physician, Physician assistant, in some cases RN, Paramedic) Important: Check and recheck supplies frequently and replace as needed. Some things don't like hot environments (vehicle, garage, etc) and will deteriorate quickly, medications, and supplies. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/episode-15-first-aid-and-medical-kits/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast15.mp3 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 12:00:00 -0700 Society & Culture no 02:01:10 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios The Preparedness Podcast Rob, Greg and Mike discuss a wide variety of preparedness topics and tips. Rob, Greg and Mike discuss a wide variety of preparedness topics and tips. There is so much information that we would like to give out, but there is a finite amount of time for the podcasts (which is why they keep getting longer and longer!). In an effort to to cover more, we decided to review a list called "100 Things to Disappear in a Disaster." Overall, this seems more like someone's shopping list than a true listing of supplies that will quickly disappear, but it provides a good tool to use as a Think List - something that gets you thinking about other things. Even though the podcast went over 2 hours, we were only able to get through the first 50 list items, but there was some good discussion on these topics. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/episode-14-miscellaneous-preparedness-tips/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast14.mp3 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 21:00:00 -0700 Society & Culture no 02:12:34 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios The Preparedness Podcast Water is one of the most important items you can store.

Developing alternate revenue streams and downsizing what you spend on every month can go a long way to surviving an economic crisis. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/episode-9-preparing-to-survive-an-economic-crash/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast9.mp3 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 19:39:00 -0700 Society & Culture no 01:38:43 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios The Preparedness Podcast Networking is contacting like minded individuals in an effort to increase your survival chances and/or make life easier.

The Capability Checklist is a preparedness tool that helps you ensure that your preparations, whether they be a small kit or your entire household's prep supplies, meet certain functions that you will most likely need to accomplish in order to survive. We start with the Food and Cooking category, going over both the Minimum and Extended Capability lists. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/episode-4-food-and-cooking-category-of-the-capability-checklist/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast4.mp3 Tue, 30 Dec 2008 13:49:00 -0700 Society & Culture no 01:29:41 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios The Preparedness Podcast Three main threats that we're facing right now: Economic Crash, Food shortages, Terrorism. Reviewing and discussing our posts on ThePreparednessBlog.com (now found on http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com). Three main threats that we're facing right now: Economic Crash, Food shortages, Terrorism. Preparedness is about keeping your options open and keeping opportunities available. Everyday items you can stock up on now. Panic buying of guns and ammo. Chances are, if you don't have it now, you either can't get it or you're going to pay a lot more for it. Weight of supplies and portability. Does your spouse know how to do everything you can do? Did you write everything down so their survival chances are maximized even if you weren't around? Deflation and Inflation. The experts say that we'll have deflation before we have inflation. Are we in a deflationary period now? http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/episode-3-preparedness-issues-that-face-us-today/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast3.mp3 Sun, 30 Nov 2008 23:33:00 -0700 Society & Culture no 01:26:02 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios The Preparedness Podcast Current economic crisis, layoffs, the possible coming depression.

The next (possible) assault gun ban. - Creation of a new college drinking game. - Better to pay down debt or cash on hand? - Climate change and food shortages.

We're new at this and it shows. The introductory podcast where we try to introduce ourselves and what the podcasts will be about, our backgrounds and experiences. We discuss what we hope to accomplish in this series of podcasts, which is to help other people get prepared for emergencies and other social crisis events. We briefly go over the Capability Checklist tool, which is a list that helps you get better prepared by outlining what functions you need to make sure you can do when you have to be self-sufficient. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.com/episode-1-the-first-podcast/ http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/thepreparednesspodcast.com/podcasts/preparedness-podcast1.mp3 Sun, 09 Nov 2008 23:41:00 -0700 Society & Culture no 00:44:10 Preparedness, Preparedness Podcast, Survival, Survival Podcast, Emergency Preparedness, Disasters, Disaster Preparedness, Evacuation, Bug Out Bags, Bugging Out, Home Security, Self-Sufficiency, Survival Skills, Threat Analysis, What-If Scenarios
