Life can change in an instant. That's what hit me as I returned from the supportive community of Prepper Camp to discover news of two devastating mass shootings occurring within just 24 hours—one at a waterfront restaurant in North Carolina and another at a church in Michigan. The jarring contrast between the empowerment I felt among like-minded preparedness enthusiasts and the harsh reality of these tragedies perfectly illustrates why practical prepping matters now more than ever.
Throughout this raw and timely episode, I break down the essentials of the "run, hide, fight" protocol we'd previously discussed, emphasizing how critical these simple steps can be when facing an active threat situation. The statistics don't lie—324 mass shootings recorded this year alone according to the Gun Violence Archive. This isn't paranoia; it's pattern recognition. Those who act fastest in crisis situations have the highest survival rates, which is why knowing your exits and having a plan matters wherever you go.
I share details about my most valuable purchase from Prepper Camp: a comprehensive individual trauma kit containing tourniquets, pressure dressings, hemostatic gauze, chest seals, and more. At $190, it wasn't cheap, but what's the value of potentially saving a life when first responders are minutes away and bleeding needs to be stopped in seconds? The "Stop the Bleed" class I attended drove home that these tools aren't for show—they're for those "holy crap" moments that can happen anywhere, anytime.
What struck me most about Prepper Camp was how little politics entered our conversations. When preparing for disasters, whether natural or man-made, we're all simply humans helping humans. Take action this week by finding a Stop the Bleed class through your local Red Cross. Research trauma kits and tourniquets. Because ultimately, preparedness isn't about fear—it's about empowerment in a world where the unthinkable happens all too often. Stay safe out there, and take care of one another.
