Stakeholder Prepping with Chris and AC

In this episode of Stakeholder Prepping, Chris and AC reveal 10 must-have survival foods that can last for decades, support you during a crisis, and even serve as trade goods when the grid goes down. From rice, wheat berries, beans, and honey to salt, powdered milk, coffee, vinegar, and pemmican, they explain what to store, how to preserve it, and the off-grid uses most people overlook.

In this episode of Stakeholder Prepping, Chris and AC take PACE modeling beyond primary, alternate, contingency, and emergency planning to reveal the hidden dependencies that can make every backup fail at once. They explain why you should protect capabilities—not just equipment—and explore redundancy across power, water, communications, medical supplies, transportation, finances, information, personnel, and supply chains. With practical examples and a simple exercise, this episode shows how to identify shared vulnerabilities, set decision triggers, and build a more resilient preparedness plan.

Pocket dumps are not preparedness! In this episode of Stakeholder Prepping, Jim Cobb explains the difference between carrying gear that looks cool and building an everyday carry system that actually solves real problems. If you want a smarter, lighter, more useful loadout for daily life, this conversation will change how you think about EDC. Chris and AC sit down with longtime preparedness writer, instructor, and editor Jim Cobb, whose book, The Common Sense Everyday Carry, lays out a practical model for what belongs on your body, in your bag, and in your vehicle.

From sugar-free mint gum and fresh socks to mattress toppers, spices, sweets, honey, and hygiene essentials like Aquaphor, medical-grade silicone tape, and toilet paper, they make the case that morale is a tactical advantage. The takeaway: small comforts can reduce stress, preserve sanity, and keep you functional when conditions get rough.
