If You’re Not Always Prepared, You’re Never Prepared | Episode 468


You never think it’s going to be today—until it is.


In Episode 468 of the Survival Punk Podcast, I share a painful lesson in preparedness. While cleaning out my late aunt’s house, I gashed my elbow wide open. It wasn’t the cut that bothered me the most—it was the realization that my first aid kit wasn’t in the car. Me, the preparedness guy, caught off guard.


This episode is a wake-up call and a challenge:
Are you really prepared if you’re only sometimes prepared?


What We Cover:


My Not-So-Great Moment of Realization




  • The story of how I cut myself and wasn’t equipped.




  • Why gear does no good if it’s not with you.




Daily-Carried Preparedness vs. Closet Prepping




  • How to build and maintain car kits, EDC bags, and home kits.




  • The difference between owning supplies and being ready to use them.




The Cycle of Forgetfulness




  • Why even seasoned preppers get complacent.




  • Tricks to rotate, check, and remember your gear.




Building “Always-There” Preparedness




  • Layered prepping: what should always be on your person, in your car, at work, and at home.




  • The “Rule of Redundancy” and how it can save your skin (literally).




Mindset > Gear




  • Why the right mindset is more important than the fanciest equipment.




  • How to turn mistakes into future readiness.





Being prepared isn’t about being paranoid. It’s about being consistent. If you’re only “ready” when it’s convenient, you’re not really ready at all.


Tune in to hear how a dumb mistake turned into a survival lesson I won’t forget—and how you can avoid learning it the hard way.
