When disaster strikes—be it climate chaos, civil unrest, or tech billionaires triggering society’s implosion—will you know what to do? 🤯

This week on Are We F#cked?, I (Lisa Camillo, anthropologist & filmmaker) sit down with Derrick James, founder of the legendary @prepperpublishing and SHTF Blog, to discuss practical prepping—without the paranoia. From bug-out bags to community prepping vs. lone survival, Derrick shares wisdom earned from decades of experience and a childhood shaped by Cold War fears.

What we cover:
🧯 How to prepare without panic
🏕️ What to pack (and what to ditch) in your bug-out bag
🧠 Why community is your best survival tool
📰 How close we really are to a breakdown—and what to do about it
🔥 The line between informed and fear-mongering
