Prep Talk: Live
Join Casey from Cascadia Dispatch and The Urban Prepper as we discuss the lighter side of Prepping. Preparing for Emergencies and Disasters has become more and more popular over the last few years, but many of the blogs and podcasts that are already out there can feel overwhelming and intimidating. This podcast, like our YouTube channels, is designed for beginners and intermediates. We talk about new (and sometimes old) gear, deals we find on products and supplies, and preparedness projects were working on or planning. We answer questions from our various social media communities (don’t be shy, send us your questions) and occasionally, we talk about Pro Wrestling, Legos, and TikTok…No, we are not your father’s doomsday podcast! So, if you’ve got a can of soup and not much else, this podcast is for you! If you like your advice and information without a tinfoil hat, this podcast is for you! If you think earthquakes and hurricanes don’t care who you voted for, then this politics-free podcast is for you!
