We bring you food for thought in this episode about urban foraging. Find out what you can, can't or shouldn't eat in your neighborhood (blackberries, rhododendrons and discarded underwear, respectively).

Water is awesome. Get wet with prepping topics like flooding and water purification. Oh yeah.

We got out of the recording studio (Lex's basement) and into our community to spread the prepping love! From a failed work presentation, weirded out neighbors and creepin' on our local communications hub, it was a busy week!

Warning: Facts ahead! We learned a lot this past week. One of us from a trained emergency response professional and one of us from the fictional inventor, disaster dodger and fashionista, MacGyver

Summer is here! Naturally we explore how to survive being stranded on a desert island, with Tom Hanks and Harrison Ford. Warning, there will be a quiz at the end of this episode.

Tommy Lee Jones and Pierce Brosnan go head-to-head in this explosive episode.
