  • Great ideas. Hate to say it but I do find the call and response style quite distracting from the information sometimes, love the hosts though

  • Mindset

    First time listener. Enjoyed the episode and information. Being prepared is a mindset as well as having items available in an emergency. Remain calm and alert.

  • Won’t play on any platform

    This podcast no longer plays for me on any platform. I have asked the producers for help but no luck. Oh well, back when it would play I would get useful information from it.

  • Real people, great advice

    Practical advice for real people. I can listen to this show in the car with kids and not have to worry about the language. I don’t need to be a survivalist or expert to understand it.

    I highly recommend this show for people who have a life and responsibilities, but want to be prepared for the most probable emergencies.

    This couple has practical wisdom for everyday people just trying to prepare regardless of how much money one has. Thanks so much for doing the show.
