E52 - All About Prepping (for Emergencies, Natural Disasters, or Worse)

Prepping has become increasingly popular as people become more aware of the potential for catastrophic events. From natural disasters to economic collapse, there are many reasons why people choose to prepare for the worst. While some people may think preppers are odd, they are some of the most level-headed, reasonable, and self-sufficient people on earth. They are taking steps to protect themselves and their families. If a major disaster does occur, the preppers will be ready – while the rest of us will be scrambling to survive.

In this episode, Jim and Dan talk about everything prepping. As a prepper, Jim speaks about how the world is vulnerable to EMP attacks, how he prepared for unfortunate events, and what's in his bug-out bags.
