The Common Sense Practical Prepper
Welcome to the Common Sense Practical Prepper Podcast, where I, a novice prepper, share my successes, stumbles, and lessons to make prepping approachable for all. Discover how to build long-term food storage with budget-friendly options like freeze-dried meals and bulk grains, while keeping your supplies fresh and ready.
I’ll also dive into situational awareness to stay sharp in any crisis, personal safety tips to protect yourself and loved ones, and bartering strategies for when cash isn’t king. Each episode ties real-world examples to current events, like recent storms or supply shortages, to keep you prepared. Have feedback or ideas? Email practicalpreppodcast@gmail.com.
