    Grow It, Raise It, Preserve It: Building Food Security

    What happens when the grocery store stops being reliable? In this episode of The Survival and Basic Badass Podcast, we continue the Build a Life That’s Hard to Disrupt series by tackling one of the most important preparedness systems of all: food. Food storage is important, but eventually stored food runs out. Real food security means developing the ability to produce food yourself—and building multiple systems so one failure doesn’t leave you hungry. We talk about practical ways to build a more resilient food supply, including gardening, greenhouses, chickens, rabbits, food preservation, and producing food on your own property. More importantly, we look at how these systems can work together to reduce your dependence on grocery stores and fragile supply chains. This isn’t about predicting whether the next disruption will be an EMP, economic collapse, cyberattack, natural disaster, supply-chain failure, or something completely unexpected. It’s about asking a better questions If the normal food system stopped working tomorrow, how long could you keep producing food? We’ll discuss: • Building a garden that actually contributes to your food supply • Using a greenhouse to extend your growing season • Chickens for eggs, meat, and a renewable food source • Rabbits as a practical small-scale livestock option • Preserving what you grow and produce • Creating redundancy instead of relying on one food source • Turning your property into a productive part of your preparedness plan • Building food systems that are useful during emergencies—and ordinary life You don’t have to become completely self-sufficient. The goal is to become less dependent, more capable, and harder to disrupt. Stop preparing for one disaster. Start building systems that keep working when life doesn’t. 🎙️ The Survival and Basic Badass Podcast Build a Life That’s Hard to Disrupt Learn more about your ad choices.

    So Kevin Started Talking

    Kevin Started Talking… This episode started out as a perfectly reasonable conversation about food production, preparedness, and building a life that’s hard to disrupt. Then Kevin started talking. What followed includes questionable opinions, dark humor, wild speculation, things somebody probably read on the internet, and several moments where Chuck attempts—sometimes successfully—to steer the conversation back toward the original topic.

This episode contains explicit language and adult humor. Listener discretion is advised.

    Stop Prepping for Disasters. Start Prepping for Disruption

    Stop Prepping for Disasters. Start Prepping for Disruption What if we’ve been thinking about preparedness the wrong way? Preppers spend a lot of time trying to predict the next disaster—EMP, hurricanes, cyberattacks, economic collapse, pandemics, war, grid failure, or civil unrest. But the truth is, we don’t know what’s coming next. And maybe we don’t need to. In this episode of The Survival and Basic Badass Podcast, we explore a different approach to preparedness: stop preparing for individual disasters and start preparing for the disruptions they create. Most emergencies eventually create the same handful of problems: loss of electricity, water, food, transportation, communication, income, banking, fuel, or access to essential services. Instead of trying to predict the next crisis, what if we built our lives so those disruptions were simply harder to hurt us? We discuss: • Why scenario-based prepping can create blind spots • Preparing for consequences instead of specific disasters • The danger of single points of failure • Why redundancy isn’t paranoia—it’s good system design • The difference between stockpiling supplies and building sustainable systems • Why skills, finances, relationships, and community belong in preparedness • How modern convenience creates hidden dependencies • Why your most likely “disaster” may be something completely personal • Building preparedness systems that provide value even when nothing goes wrong The goal isn’t to predict the apocalypse. The goal is to build a life that’s hard to disrupt. Whether you’re interested in emergency preparedness, self-reliance, homesteading, off-grid living, survival, financial resilience, or simply becoming less dependent on fragile systems, this episode challenges you to rethink what being prepared actually means. 🎙️ Listen to the Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4YdMrZ4oWTPKv4YrcZgExg 📲 Follow Us: 🔹 https://survivalandbasicbadasspodcast.com/ 🔹 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/15wU8rw6hS/ Don't let uncertainty overwhelm you.

    Build A Life That Is Hard To Disrupt

    What happens when the power goes out—and doesn’t come back on? In this episode of The Survival and Basic Badass Podcast, we explore what it really means to Build a Life That Is Hard to Disrupt. This episode is based on my Prepper Camp presentation and takes a different approach to preparedness. Instead of preparing for one specific disaster, the goal is to build a home, homestead, and lifestyle that can continue functioning when the systems we normally depend on begin to fail. Whether the cause is an EMP, cyberattack, severe weather, grid failure, economic disruption, or another major emergency, the basic problems are often the same: no electricity, limited water, disrupted food supplies, failing communications, and services we normally take for granted becoming unavailable. We walk through practical ways to build resilience one system at a time, including: • Water storage, collection, and backup water sources • Off-grid and emergency power • Solar power and battery systems • Heating and cooking without electricity • Food production and long-term food storage • Gardening, chickens, rabbits, and greenhouse systems • Canning, root cellars, and preserving food • Sanitation and composting toilets • EMP preparedness and Faraday cages • Protecting critical electronics • Communications when normal systems fail • Homestead security and solar lighting • Building redundancy into the systems you depend on • Developing a preparedness mindset focused on resilience instead of fear You don’t need a bunker, a million-dollar homestead, or a warehouse full of survival gear. Start with the systems you depend on every day and ask one simple question: “What happens if this stops working?” Then build a backup. Preparedness isn’t about predicting exactly what disaster comes next. It’s about creating a life capable of absorbing failures without everything falling apart. You don’t have to do it all today. Build it one system at a time. Build a Life That Is Hard to Disrupt. The Survival and Basic Badass Podcast covers preparedness, survival, homesteading, off-grid living, emergency preparedness, self-reliance, EMP preparedness, grid-down survival, food storage, water preparedness, and the skills needed to become more resilient and less dependent on fragile systems.

    Badasses Who Solve Problems

    Some people panic when everything falls apart. Others get to work. What makes them different? In this episode of The Survival and Basic Badass Podcast, we’re talking about the men and women who refuse to accept “it can’t be done.” The innovators, survivors, engineers, explorers, soldiers, and everyday people who looked at impossible situations and found solutions that changed history. Being a badass isn’t about being the strongest person in the room. It’s about keeping your head when everyone else loses theirs. It’s about adapting when the plan falls apart. It’s about refusing to quit. From survival disasters and engineering miracles to legendary expeditions and real-world emergencies, we explore what these extraordinary problem-solvers all have in common—and, more importantly, what we can learn from them. Whether you’re preparing for a disaster, building a resilient homestead, leading a family, running a business, or simply trying to become more capable, the mindset behind these stories applies to everyday life. • What separates problem-solvers from everyone else • Why mindset beats equipment • The power of staying calm under extreme pressure • Creative thinking when resources are limited • Leadership during crisis • Why adaptability is one of the greatest survival skills • Lessons from history’s greatest “fixers” • How ordinary people accomplish extraordinary things Preparedness isn’t about having every answer. It’s about becoming the kind of person who can find one.
