If I lost all my emergency preparedness equipment tomorrow and had to start completely over, these are the 20 things I'd buy again. From backup power and water filtration to emergency communications, food preservation, and shelter, these are the purchases I'd make again. Free PDF download available too! What piece of preparedness gear would you absolutely buy again if you had to start from scratch?

I put together a new Power Outage Preparedness playlist with my videos on backup power, generators, solar charging, emergency lighting, outage kits, and real-world blackout testing.

I shut off the power to my home for 48 hours to test our emergency power plan.

I ran the house on backup power, managed essential loads, tested multiple recharge methods, and learned a few things along the way.

What belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Prepper Books?

I picked 4 based on historical influence, longevity, innovation, community impact, and cultural significance, not simply the “best” books today.

What’s on your Mount Rushmore? https://t.co/MXbS5OoTVm

@TheSurvivalMom Looking forward to it!

I'm speaking at the 2026 Resilient Living Summit this September, alongside 20+ preparedness, homesteading, and self-reliance educators.

My session, "The Urban Prepper Blueprint," breaks down a layered system for family emergency prep, what you carry, your home, your vehicle, offsite resources, evacuation, and how to figure out what to prep for next.

The whole Summit is FREE to attend (Sept 14-19), each presentation is available free for 48 hours after it goes live. Mine airs Monday, September 14.

Wildfires can change direction fast. Are you ready to leave if an evacuation order comes?

My latest video covers home protection, evacuation planning, air quality, Bug Out Bags, vehicle readiness, respirators, and more. https://t.co/Ma1XyDUS7w

Live in an apartment or condo? What’s your power outage plan when there’s no generator, no transfer switch, and the elevator may be down?

That’s what I tackle in today’s new video:

Emergency food keeps you alive. Comfort food helps things feel normal.

The community voted blueberry pancakes as the winner, so I added some long-term pancake preps to our pantry. 🥞🫐

What’s your emergency morale food?

Prepping isn't about buying more gear.

It's about rotating food, replacing batteries, updating plans, and doing the boring work that actually makes you prepared.

What's one preparedness task you've been putting off?

Which multitools deserve to be carved into the Mount Rushmore of EDC?

I ranked the 4 models that had the biggest historical impact on the industry, not just the best ones you can buy today.

Do you agree with my picks, or would you replace one? #EDC #multitool #preparedness

Nice deals going on over at @jasemedical right now. I just purchased a Jase Case of antibiotics. Check it out if you're in the market for preparedness medications: https://t.co/tkf4t9d3Bo

Most power outage plans assume you’ll stay home. But what if the grid is down and you have to evacuate?

In my latest video, I test the Jackery HomePower 2000 Plus V2 in a mock bug-out scenario and look at what you may still need to keep powered away from home. @jackeryinc https://t.co/rADyhc88Jp

Prime Day is coming and my wish list is already full of preps I've been waiting to pull the trigger on. Power banks. Bug out bag gear. Vehicle Dash Cams. A few things for my new baby's go bag. What's on YOUR Prime Day prep list this year? Drop it below. I'm always looking for stuff I missed.

Half of America is one major unexpected expense away from a personal emergency.

Financial preparedness is prepping. It's just not as fun to film and it doesn't get views on YouTube for content creators. It's still super important! Some good goals:

☐ 3-month emergency fund.
☐ Paid-off debt.
☐ No dependencies on a single income stream.

It's your word vs theirs. That's why one of the first preparedness items I wanted in my son's first vehicle was a dashcam. Here's a look at the Vantrue Nexus 4 Pro S. @VantrueOfficial https://t.co/fjAnXAoxIL

Most people think a dehumidifier is just for damp basements. Here's what it actually does for your preps:

☐ Lowers indoor temp feel during summer heat; less AC needed
☐ Keeps stored food and gear from moisture damage
☐ Runs more efficiently than AC during a power outage on backup power
☐ Collects water you can filter and purify in a pinch

It's not a replacement for your water storage. But it's a passive backup most preppers overlook.
