In this video I break down the 10 preps everyone should be doing right now — the practical, no-BS steps that actually move the needle whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been prepping for years. We start with the least sexy but most important one: planning. Life doesn’t just fall into place, and disasters don’t come with a warning. I walk you through how to map out where you want to be in 1, 2, 5, and 10 years, plus how to realistically game out the emergencies that could hit your area — from hurricanes and wildfires to grid-down scenarios.
From there we hit the rest of the list: getting your physical health and fitness dialed in, building reliable food and water storage, defense, knowledge and information, communications, medical preparedness, power and solar solutions, why owning a capable truck and developing real hands-on fixing/building skills is a game-changer, and finally why networking (iron sharpens iron) might be the most underrated prep of all. These aren’t complicated or expensive — they’re the foundational moves that give you real peace of mind and a massive advantage when things get tough.
