    The Last Scenario: The Ultimate Prepping Game That Tests Your Survival Strategy

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Prepping Academy Podcast, Forrest Garvin introduces The Last Scenario—a preparedness game he created to train decision-making when everything goes wrong. This isn’t entertainment. It’s a real-world simulation designed to expose the gaps in your planning before a crisis happens. Most people focus on gear, food, and supplies—but when pressure hits, they freeze. Why? Because they’ve never been forced to think through real scenarios, make hard decisions, or face uncomfortable outcomes. The Last Scenario changes that. In this episode, Forrest walks through why he created the game, how it works, and how you can use it with your family, group, or community to sharpen your mindset and prepare for situations most people avoid thinking about. You’ll hear examples of real scenarios that challenge your judgment, test your priorities, and force you to answer the question: What would you do? Topics covered: Why most preppers fail under pressureThe difference between gear and mindsetHow The Last Scenario was createdUsing scenario-based training to prepare for real lifeExamples of difficult survival decisionsBecause when things collapse, you won’t rise to the occasion… You’ll fall back on your training.   The question is—have you trained your mind? https://lastscenario.com/ Join PrepperNet.Net - https://www.preppernet.netPrepperNet is an organization of like-minded individuals who believe in personal responsibility, individual freedoms and preparing for disasters of all origins.

    Patrick with @griddowncomms - Winter Storm Fern

    Send us Fan Mail Patrick with @griddowncomms - Winter Storm Fern Patrick with @griddowncomms takes the microphone again for an after-action report on winter storm Fern and a few rants along the way. In the communications portion of today's show, we discuss shortcomings of some popular but perhaps misguided online communications advice. Next up, we discuss the political impact of disasters. In this case, Winter Storm Fern. The leadership in your area has a massive impact on recovery, and political parties and the urban vs. rural mindset determine your outcome. Last, we discussed tips and lessons learned for power, heat, and staying warm in a prolonged grid down. Many of us prep for a few days to a week in winter storms, but an ice storm combined with terrible leadership could leave you in the cold and dark for weeks at a time. How will you prepare for a winter weather disaster?
