Growing your own food sounds like ultimate form of preparedness - but is it actually more reliable than buying food and stock piling your pantry?

In this episode, we break down gardening vs food stockpiling and the trade offs most people ignore. From weather dependence and time delays to shelf life, calories and convenience, we look at what really feeds you when conditions aren't ideal.

We cover:

• Gardening as a long term resilience
• Stockpiling food for immediate security
• The risks of relying on weather, seasons and yield
• The false comfort of "I'll just grow it" thinking.
• Why real food preparedness is about layers and not choosing sides.

This isn't about homesteading aesthetics or panic buying. It's about realistic food security and honest preparedness. Because one depends on the weather and the other depends on your credit card.

Phones, apps, cloud services and instant communication have made life easier — but have they made us less prepared?

In this episode, we break down radio preparedness vs modern convenience culture and why so many people mistake connectivity for capability. When the internet drops, networks overload, or power disappears, what actually still works?

We talk about:

The difference between owning radios and using radios.

Passive listening vs active communication.

Why real preparedness means practicing communication, not just planning it.

How old “outdated” tech keeps outperforming modern convenience in real crises.

This isn’t about nostalgia or gear flexing. It's about reliable communication when it actually matters. Because when comfort fails… preparedness speaks.

Welcome to the Radio Prepper Network.

In this episode of the Prepper Network Podcast, we discuss the prepping dilemma: lone wolf vs community, solo prepping vs group prepping, and how modern preparedness is changing.Is solo prepping smarter, safer, and more realistic? Or is community the ultimate force multiplier when things go wrong?This isn't theory - it's an honest discussion meant to make you think, question and decide for yourself. let us know in the comments: would you rather prep alone.. or rely on others?

What's the real difference between a prepper and a survivalist - and does it even matter when things go wrong?

In this episode of the Prepper Network Podcast, we break down the mindset on both sides. Stockpiling vs Skill-building. Comfort vs capability. planning vs adapting.

No fear-mongering, no politics. Just real conversations about preparedness, resilience, and doing things properly.

Listen in, and decide for yourself - Prepper or survivalist?

Bug In or Bug Out - What's the right call when things go wrong?
