In this episode of the Survival and Basic Badass Podcast, I break down the biggest mistake I made as a prepper — and how it cost me thousands of dollars in wasted gear.
Too many people jump into prepping by buying survival gear, tactical equipment, off-grid tools, and camping gadgets without ever creating a real survival plan. The truth? Gear without a system is just clutter.
If you’re serious about survival, preparedness, and building real resilience, you need to define your fears, clarify your goals, and design your world before spending a dime.
In this episode we cover:
• The most common prepping mistakes
• Why buying gear first is backwards
• How to define your collapse scenario
• Building survival systems (water, food, security, medical, energy)
• How to stop wasting money on the wrong survival gear
• The difference between looking prepared and actually being prepared
Whether you’re a beginner prepper or someone who’s been stockpiling survival supplies for years, this episode will challenge you to rethink your approach.
Prepping isn’t about owning things. It’s about designing survival.
