12 Must Have Items for Prepping, Survival, and Self Reliance
In this episode, Mark and Krista dive into twelve essential categories of preparedness gear, not specific brands or fancy gadgets, but foundational items that every prepper should have ready. From water and food to cash and fire‑starting tools, this conversation is a practical guide for building or improving your emergency supplies.
They share personal experiences, listener insights, and even a few laughs (yes, including a very nerdy H₂O joke) while keeping things rooted in real‑world preparedness wisdom.
