I want to point out that there were originally 20 preparedness steps in this article but Substack was not letting me publish due to the length. Here are the missing steps:
19) Maintain your readiness
A plan only works if it still works.
Action steps
• Rotate food and water
• Replace expired medicine
• Test batteries
• Check vehicle kit
• Update contact list
Field note: Set reminders for March, June, September, December.
20) Start today
Action beats intention.
Action steps
• Buy two cases of water
• Buy three days of food
• Charge every light and power bank
Join like minded prepping groups
Introduce yourselves to your neighbors if you haven't done so already
Field note: By tomorrow morning you will be more prepared than many Americans.

Thanks for having me here. Most people gather gear once and never touch it again. In real-world survival and disaster response, I’ve seen that small habits like rotating water, testing lights, and checking vehicle kits matter more than the expensive gear people brag about.
Preparedness is a living system, not a one-time purchase.
If you take these steps seriously, you’ll stay ahead of most people.
If you enjoy survival advice and practical prepping tips, follow along. I keep it real, I keep it useful, and I try to teach in a way where people have a good time learning the skills that keep families ready for anything.
Praying for you and Lilly. The persecution of Christians in the US is real and I have experienced it first hand also for the last 17 years. Unfortunately from those within the church who claim to know Jesus. The scripture says clearly that God will bless those that bless us and curse those that curse us. We stand firm on the truth. Godspeed brother and sister. They will not silence us!!! We will finish our race and God will get all the glory! We praise you Lord Jesus!! Thank you for your protection over these Lord!!
Glad it was helpful. I try to break down preparedness with simple, practical tips so it doesn’t feel overwhelming when people are just getting started. Have a blessed day.
Excellent article! We recently moved from central Phoenix to rural South Carolina. Having land to grow a garden, well & septic, a generator with a hookup to the breaker panel / transfer switch, a propane grill w/extra tanks, severl thousand dollars in small bills and sufficient self-defense weapons has brought great peace of mind. We are well-prepared in our faith as well, spending time daily in the Scriptures and prayer.
I hope and pray everyone that reads this article takes it seriously and prepares as best they can. We are heading towards a one-world government at a startling pace. When the Mark comes, the only way Christians will survive is with God's help thru prayer. Thank you to The Wise Wolf for the guest post, good to see I'm not the only Christian thinking about SHTF 🙏
Huh. I love joking around and messing with my buddies. How did you know? I always love how strangers make big assumptions off a tiny snapshot of something they read, pretending they know what they’re talking about. That’s the internet for you. Lots of keyboard warriors who want to battle you. Hope your day is solid though. Cheers to making the best out of life.
You're never able to shame or ratio people like me because I actually exist and have purpose IRL, and have a real network, you however are a plastic AI anon with outdated judaized conspiracy theories.
Yes they always try and cut Christians down because they know no not of GOD !! I am a minister and You know I taught college for many years. I don't teach anymore because people are just to stupid and lazy. They do not understand that we are spiritual beings encased in a human body. I have truly grown tired of the ignorance factor. I am very sorry to hear of the bodily threats to you and Lilly. But what do you expect from the devil spawn of modern humanity !
The survival article is excellent, I hope more people prepare, but as I have found out most will not bother or the thought will be short lived. I have been into the Survival mode since the early 70s. One of the things that you must do is practice these skills so you do not loose them. I have always been an adventurer. My Dad was an outdoorsman and grew up being the same. When I was 11 he took me into the Bounty waters canoe area and we went 125 miles into the Canadian interior. We took what was needed and there was no such thing as a cell phone. Walkie Talkies only reached so far, we had a set and occasionally we would see a park ranger. Otherwise we were on our own. It was beautiful and we stayed out for 2 weeks. Great memories, 4 years latter we took my close friend and my Mother out for a month 275 miles into the interior of Canada. It was incredible and we had so much fun. I have since done many more adventures. I was with my mountain climbing buddy in the Colorado Rockies for 3 months !!!!! It was beyond belief and we climbed and camped for the entire time. When it was time to return we did not want too !!! Nature had it's claws into us and when we returned we hated to come back
I have climbed mountains on 2 continents, I have scuba dived in 4 oceans I have paraglided and I am about to skydive. I am 70 years old and I am told I look 50. Many days I feel like I am 100. I catch my breath and I am on to something else. I have taught survival for over 20 years, This article is very good to start out with. I applaud your author friend. What he says is correct., but many things are needed to survive. The cost has skyrocketed for every thing. If you wish to survive then it is going to be very expensive right now.
I have stored and prepared enough food for several years, I have a few people to take care of, I love them dearly. One thing you need to do is take a course on fighting and Martial Arts. My wife and I are both into Kung Fu . She has a brown belt and I am a second degree blackbelt. As well as Tae Kwon Do and Kempo. If you wish to survive you need to be a bad ass.
You also need to be able to shoot a rifle and hand gun. If you do not have those skills than you will be D.O.A. when it comes to Défense. All of this knowledge takes time and practice. So get the hell off of the stupid tracking devices called a S.M.A.R.T. phone and start learning to survive !!!
Praying for the two of you! Psalms 91 and no fear because that’s what the enemy feeds on. God’s perfect peace and steadfast protection and love. In Jesus Name. 🙏💕
The fact that someone finds it necessary to threaten others, or feel threatened because others don’t share their same beliefs is proof pudding that whatever their beliefs, ideologies or convictions it must not be concrete enough for them to stand on. It really should not matter what others think, what matters is what you think.
Sorry, that you and Lilly experienced that. Stay safe, stay blessed ♥️💜💛

Don't worry about death threats, the people who make them are cowardly vermin who would never dare to do anything in real life.
Wear their hatred as a badge of honour.
Thanks for being on Substack. Great work!
Lol humorous cope
Thanks for the great article. It has helped me think outside the box on emergency preparedness. Blessings!
Glad it was helpful. I try to break down preparedness with simple, practical tips so it doesn’t feel overwhelming when people are just getting started. Have a blessed day.
You’re welcome
Good points. Yes, I receive threats to from the mentally ill. We have to expect that if we are trying to do good.

A true pagan would not give you death threats or hate you for being Christian
Those are people you are misnaming as being Pagan.
They're in a cult. They are NOT Pagans. Respectfully meant
appreciate that
You are a joke and you know it man

True true. If you dwell within the shadow of the Almighty, He’s got your back.
That’s right

A Christian family that aren't close anymore..told me their praying for folks with a bottomless food pantry....
