Survival:Beyond the Bug-Out BagAuthor: Bill Bateman
We all agree that being prepared for an emergency is important. That's why preparing a "Bug Out Bag" that will allow you can grab and go can be a lifesaver. So I began posting information here over 6 years ago, and I'm updating that information regularly. I've also gone beyond the traditional products. Because creating "the bag" is just the first step to being prepared, not the final product. We now know we each need to have at least 30 days of essential supplies like food water and medicine. We must be our own first responders.I cover topics like:*Products I both use and trust.*Often forgotten items you need to have in your bag.*Psychological and Emotional planning for the family*Planning for Kids and Seniors*What to do when Plan "A" fails?This includes a curated list of links from a variety of sources too. I'll be sharing and updating links to sites I buy from and products I use. So we are clear, I have no sponsors, so the opinions, both good and bad, are my own.Join me as I begin the 7th year/6th season of productions in an ongoing series of podcasts for you and your family to use and to share with others as you build a community.

Send us a textA short outage can be annoying; a long one can upend your life. We open the door to a calmer, more capable approach to preparedness by focusing on the two weak links that fail first after a crisis: water and power. With our upcoming OLLI course as the backdrop, we map a practical path from “I should get ready” to “I can handle thirty days.”We start with water because scarcity and contamination now collide more often. You’ll hear a clear breakdown of collection and storage fundamentals, why purification isn’t the same as removing chemicals, and how to layer treatment with sediment filters, activated carbon, boiling or UV, and when to consider reverse osmosis. We point to trusted resources and emphasize simple routines that keep your supply fresh and safe.Then we shift to electricity: choosing the right portable solar power stations, matching watt-hours to your actual loads, and using open-box and seasonal deals to stretch your budget. From 750 to 2000 watt setups, we share where solar shines—quiet backup for lights, comms, laptops, and compact fridges—and how to size panels and plan multiple charging paths. The goal isn’t a bunker; it’s reliable, everyday capability you use and understand.Finally, we turn gift cards and post-holiday sales into durable wins by shopping local for gear you’ll use weekly: water containers, headlamps, first aid, and layers that hold up. Throughout, we frame preparedness as being your own first responder, not a caricature—calm, skilled, and ready for thirty days of self-sufficiency. If this resonates, tap follow, share this with someone who could use a nudge, and leave a quick review telling us your top priority this month: water or power?True Prepper Water Treatment LinkClass Information: Refuse to be a Victim Personal ProtectionTrainingFor questions and comments, email me at: profprepper@protonmail.com Please "Follow Us" or Subscribe, and remember that this program may be downloaded and shared for educational purposes.
