Hi folks, Jack Spirko here. Today you are listening to an episode of TSP Rewind.

Commercial free versions of past episodes podcast blast from the past.

I put these up when I can't do a show due to professional commitments or rare vacations.

These podcasts will appear and standard iTunes Stitcher and other feeds,

but will be titled TSP Rewind episodes and numbered accordingly.

And today folks, we are rewinding back to December the 17th, 2014,

originally episode 1486.

And this is an interesting episode.

It's called 20 simple prepper steps every American should take.

By 2014, this show was well established.

We were up somewhere in the neighborhood of about 100,000 downloads per episode,

so we had definitely kind of matured a great deal.

And this was one of those shows that was kind of like a rewind before there were rewinds

and that we took a lot of the fundamental things that we had taught from the very beginning back in08.

And I made a list of 20 things that people should do, like, you know,

just a couple of them keeping a food log, keeping a spending log, building a basic blackout kit.

And a bunch more. And these are basic things.

These are things that, again, every American should do.

A person that doesn't want to be known as a prepper or a server like these are basic common sense things

because if you hadn't paid attention during the almost 15 years survival podcast is running,

occasionally things go wrong for people, either a few people or a lot of people.

We even have a method by which we kind of work that out and probability and what have you.
