Surviving a Water Crisis
You probably use way more water every day than you realize. In this episode, we break down what happens when the tap suddenly runs dry, or worse, when the water is still flowing but you’ve been told not to drink it.

We cover how much water you actually need, what to do in the first 30 minutes of an outage, hidden water sources around your house, ways to stretch every gallon, emergency water collection, filtration and disinfection, sanitation problems, and the weird little tools that can make a water crisis a whole lot easier to manage.

We also get into:

How much water a family should realistically store

Why your water heater can become a massive emergency reserve

Bathtub bladders, rain catchment, pools, snow, dew, and other backup sources

The difference between biological and chemical contamination

Filters vs. purifiers vs. boiling

Why clear water can still absolutely wreck you

Conserving water for cooking, hygiene, and cleaning

The poop problem when toilets stop working

Useful gear like siphons, transfer pumps, sillcock keys, and collapsible containers

What to do when municipal water finally comes back

Our must-have water crisis kit

The big takeaway: storing water is only the beginning. You need a plan for collecting it, moving it, treating it, rationing it, and keeping the good stuff from getting contaminated.

Our Top 20 80’s Movies
This week we’re stepping away from the apocalypse for a very important topic: the greatest movies of the 1980s.

Coby and Cam each bring their personal Top 20, which means plenty of nostalgia, questionable rankings, ties, childhood favorites, and movies we’ve probably watched way too many times.

We’re talking Back to the Future, Predator, The Lost Boys, Indiana Jones, The Burbs, Top Gun, RoboCop, The Goonies, Ghostbusters, Gremlins and a whole pile of other 80s greatness.

Plus, honorable mentions, forgotten classics, Corey Feldman appreciation, dystopian Arnold movies, Spielberg, John Hughes, Christmas movies, and the inevitable argument over what deserves the #1 spot.

Basically, if you grew up in the 80s or just love the movies from that era, this one’s for you.

72 Hours at the End of the Road
What happens when a completely normal neighborhood gets cut off from the outside world for 72 hours?

In this episode, we drop into a fictional cul-de-sac after a violent storm washes out the only road, knocks out power, disrupts water service, and leaves twenty households to figure things out on their own.

As the hours pass, the problems start stacking up: medication shortages, generator fuel, questionable water, stranded family members, neighborhood security, hidden supplies, rumors, theft scares, and one very unfortunate missing gas can.

We work through the scenario hour by hour and ask what we would actually do, what gear really matters, how much we would share with neighbors, and how quickly a group of normal people could either become a functioning community or completely turn on each other.

Mindless Banter 155: The Hopkinsville Goblins
In 1955, a Kentucky family claimed their farmhouse was surrounded for hours by small glowing creatures with huge eyes, clawed hands and a strange ability to shrug off gunfire.

We break down the Hopkinsville Goblins encounter, the police response, the owl theory, the carnival connection, the weirder explanations and how the story became UFO legend.

The Last Grocery Trip Before SHTF
Something is happening, the shelves are still stocked, and you’ve got one more shot to make a grocery run before things get weird. In this episode, we break down how to handle that last trip without becoming the guy panic-buying 11 cases of water and a pallet of toilet paper.

We cover what to prioritize, how to shop based on the actual emergency, overlooked second-wave shortages, foods that require more water and fuel than you might think, checkout and payment problems, cold storage, and knowing when it’s time to stop shopping and get home. More importantly, we talk about how to build enough everyday preparedness that someday this entire trip becomes optional.
