    Annie Jacobsen - Biological War: A Scenario

    Biological War: A Scenario with Annie Jacobsen Today we’re joined by bestselling author and investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen to discuss her brand-new book, Biological War: A Scenario. Annie is the author of Area 51, Operation Paperclip, The Pentagon’s Brain, Surprise, Kill, Vanish, and one of our favorites, Nuclear War: A Scenario. In this episode, we talk with Annie about why she moved from nuclear war to biological war, how a biological attack could unfold, and why the pathogen itself may only be part of the disaster. We get into public distrust after Covid, how misinformation and panic could make a biological event far worse, and how quickly a crisis like this could overwhelm institutions, hospitals, government response, and normal civilian life. We also discuss how biological war could spiral into military escalation or even nuclear conflict, what continuity-of-government plans and martial law might look like, and how regular people can think about preparedness without living in fear. This is a heavy one, but it’s an important conversation about one of the most unsettling threats facing the modern world. In This Episode Why Annie wrote Biological War after Nuclear War: A Scenario The basic scenario behind the new book Why public trust may be one of the biggest survival factors How Covid changed the way people respond to public health warnings Biological weapons, engineered pathogens, and institutional failure How misinformation, rumors, and panic could accelerate collapse Why a biological event could lead to military escalation How a pathogen crisis could potentially trigger nuclear decisions Continuity of government, martial law, and emergency powers What regular people should do with terrifying information like this How to take biological threats seriously without becoming consumed by fear Sponsors BattlBox Get solid outdoor, survival, EDC, and adventure gear delivered monthly.

    CPP Classics: 2020 Halloween Special – Legendary Creatures

    CPP Classics: 2020 Halloween Special – Legendary Creatures Due to a family emergency, we’re reaching into the vault for one of our favorite Halloween episodes. In this 2020 Halloween Special, Coby and Cam explore the strange world of legendary creatures, terrifying folklore, and the monsters people have claimed to encounter throughout history. We look at where these stories came from, what might be hiding behind the legends, and how prepared you would actually be if one of these creatures showed up outside your tent. It’s creepy stories, questionable survival plans, legendary monsters, and classic Casual Preppers nonsense pulled directly from the dirty little archives. Stay safe. Stay spooky. Stay survived.

    Mindless Banter 153 - Q&A

    Listener Q&A: Apocalypse Superpowers, Cave Bugouts and the Stay Survived Sandwich We’re answering another round of listener questions, and this one goes in every possible direction. Would we use an old diesel tractor to help stranded people after a CME? Is bugging out to a cave actually a good idea? Would we rather survive Jurassic Park or Predator? And which apocalypse superpower would be the most useful? We also get into camping lantern recommendations, embarrassing early prepping mistakes, keeping an offline phone or tablet in a Faraday bag, Flock cameras, surviving extreme heat versus extreme cold, celebrity man crushes, unfinished Casual Preppers film projects, and what we would change to make the podcast better. Then we create the ultimate Arby’s collaboration: the Stay Survived Sandwich, featuring every meat on the menu, roughly 180 grams of protein, 3,500 calories, a 72-Hour Calorie Stick and emergency-ready packaging. Plus, grocery-store survival strategy, questionable childhood movie crushes, biblical survival, machete collections and more completely necessary preparedness discussion.

    Wilhelm Reich - Mindless Banter 152

    Mindless Banter: Wilhelm Reich and Orgone Energy Wilhelm Reich started as a serious psychoanalyst in Freud’s world and ended up building orgone boxes, weather machines, and UFO-fighting pipe cannons. This episode has everything: childhood trauma, cosmic sex energy, healing cabinets, Einstein’s basement, FDA raids, burned books, deadly sky poison, blueberry rainmaking, cloudbusters, Arizona UFO battles, and maybe even an alien dad. Reich believed he had discovered orgone, a universal life force tied to sex, health, weather, radiation, and outer space. Then he spent the rest of his life trying to collect it, measure it, weaponize it, and defend Earth with it. It’s one of the strangest spirals we’ve ever covered. A Freud guy goes full cosmic plumber. Sponsors: BattlBox LMNT TacPack: Use code CASUALPREPPERS for a free $70 machine-made part from Next Level Armament.

    The Last Safe Town

    The Last Safe Town: Could Your Town Hold It Together? In most emergencies, people think about two choices: stay home or bug out. But there’s another piece that matters just as much: the town you already live in. In this episode, we’re looking at your actual town as a survival asset. The roads, water system, grocery stores, fuel, comms, schools, churches, public works, medical care, local businesses, and the people who keep the whole thing running. Could your town handle 72 hours? What about three weeks? What about three months? We talk about what could cut your town off, how weather and geography shape your risks, whether people and supplies can actually move, where your water and food really come from, how fuel and power keep the town functioning, and why public works might be one of the most important groups nobody thinks about until something breaks. We also get into local comms, gathering places, medical weak points, outside support, leadership, outsiders coming in, and how to score your town with a simple green, yellow, or red “hold-together” test. Your town is not automatically safe because it’s small. It’s not automatically doomed because it has limits. The real question is whether you know what’s actually there and whether those things can hold under pressure.

    Q&A - Mindless Banter 151

    10 Year Anniversary Q&A This week we’re celebrating 10 years of The Casual Preppers Podcast with a listener Q&A full of survival talk, questionable vehicles, tactical animals, hook-hand attachments, Arby’s controversy, movie kids, horses, cults, FEMA camps, and plenty of mindless banter. We get into bug out bags for kids, the best SHTF vehicles, which movie crew we’d rather babysit during the apocalypse, survival skill priorities, grid-down celebrity cabin buddies, EMP-proof transportation, stashed motorcycles, checking in on family, and whether prepper anxiety ever really goes away. Most importantly, thank you. Ten years of this show only happened because you kept listening, sharing, sending questions, supporting sponsors, buying merch, and letting us crawl into your dirty little ear holes every week. Thanks for 10 years. Stay Survived.

    Why Your Bug Out Bag Sucks

    Why Your Bug Out Bag Sucks Everybody loves the idea of a bug out bag, but a lot of them are built more like fantasy survival gear collections than real emergency tools. In this episode, we break down why bug out bags fail: no destination, too much weight, untested gear, bad food, weak water plans, forgotten family needs, poor communication, expired supplies, and no real decision point for when to actually leave. A good bug out bag is not supposed to help you disappear into the woods forever. It should help you leave fast, stay functional, communicate, handle basic problems, and get to the next safe place. We also run through a quick bag audit you can use to check your own setup. Stay survived.
