Send us Fan Mail The last stretch to safety is where a lot of people die, because your guard drops right when the road decides to collect what you owe. Jack is rolling north toward Leesburg with Rachel, Lily, and Mr. Rogers in the cab, following Stephen’s radio breadcrumbs past the big airport and toward a smaller airfield with a gate that might mean sanctuary. For a moment, it almost feels possible. Then the traffic ahead stops looking abandoned and starts looking arranged. If y...
Send us Fan Mail A contractor trash bag. Dental floss. A kid’s crayon. A bandana. If those sound too ordinary to matter, that’s exactly the point. We get back to common sense emergency preparedness by walking through household items that can keep you warm, dry, and moving when your “real gear” is missing, soaked, broken, or just out of reach. Along the way, I share a quick detour into bunker browsing and survival shelter communities, because we’ve all been there, but then we bring it home to ...
Send us Fan Mail A podcast side project just turned into something you can actually put on your shelf. Keith from the Common Sense Practical Prepper Podcast shares the news that Lone Man On The Ridge is becoming a real paperback, and he’s genuinely fired up about it because it only happened for one reason: listeners kept showing up, sending messages, and demanding to know what happens to Jack next. We talk through how the story started as a between-episodes experiment, even though Keith had ...
Send us Fan Mail I went to Chicago for a work trip, had a great meeting, caught a Cubs game, and nothing bad happened. But being 12 hours from home by car meant something I did not expect to feel so sharply: I was 12 hours from my preps. No pantry. No familiar systems. No neatly organized gear. Just what I had in my head and what fit in a suitcase. That low-level hum of awareness kicked off a bigger conversation about something many of us in the prepping community rarely name out loud: the pr...
Send us Fan Mail Night driving used to be a nuisance. Now it’s a threat. We follow Jack as he pushes down I-66 with Rachel and Lily in the truck, watching every overpass and every dead car, knowing that one bad stop can end everything. The only thread he trusts is a strict 0900 ham radio schedule with Stephen, because routine and radio discipline are the closest thing left to security on an open HF frequency. If you’re into post-apocalyptic audio drama, survival travel tactics, and the quiet...
Send us Fan Mail Most “prepper” shows don’t teach preparedness, they sell adrenaline. I’m not interested in the ominous narrator voice, the bunkers-for-everyone fantasy, or the fear-first storytelling that makes normal people roll their eyes and do nothing. I want grounded, useful, real-world preparedness that feels like common sense, because that’s what actually helps you handle disruptions in water, power, food, and everyday life. After getting back from a work trip to Chicago (and spendin...
Send us Fan Mail Gear reviews are everywhere, and I get why people love them. But after years of doing the Common Sense Practical Prepper, I’m more interested in the part nobody can buy: how you think when things go sideways. Before I head out on a business trip to Chicago (and sneak in a Cubs game at Wrigley), I wanted to answer a question I keep getting in my inbox: why don’t I do more gear reviews? Here’s the honest take. We’re drowning in information: videos, lists, “must-have” products,...
Send us Fan Mail The fuel gauge is hovering over empty, the interstate is littered with wrecks, and every overpass feels like a question you might not like the answer to. Jack keeps the truck crawling north out of Roanoke with Rachel, Lily, and Mr. Rogers, doing the kind of brutal gas math that decides whether you sleep in a seat or walk into the dark. When the numbers refuse to add up, one oversized landmark appears on the horizon: Buc-ees, the biggest gas station on the highway, and maybe t...
