Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes.

Today’s episode was originally, Episode-1654- The Basics of Prepping for the Real World and originally aired on Oct 6, 2015.

The following are the original show notes from that episode.

Today we are going to do a back to basics show. Simple stuff that we all need reminding about day to day in order to stay sharp. This is also the exact type of information to give to people new to prepping, especially the totally unprepared that “don’t get it”. We all have fiends like that right?

This show is also great for the totally freaked out that are in panic mode. The people who have been listening to too much Alex Jones and are worried that they are going to be tossed into a FEMA Camp soon, I mean even though nothing happened, Jade Helm was a test run for martial law.
