633: When All Hell Breaks Loose! Survival Skills: Before, During and After

·40 min·3 clips

Carbon monoxide kills more Americans than any other poison, yet most don't know how to spot it.

The setup is blunt. The show starts with economic turmoil as something that can land on the doorstep, then moves straight into preparation, self reliance, and what a household can do before things go sideways. Jason is in the car, apologizes for the rough audio, introduces Cody Lundeen, and points the episode at sudden change and worst case scenarios. Cody keeps the survival talk grounded. Gear should be cheap, smart, and useful in more than one way. Hurricane Katrina is his example: open cuts, dirty streets, infection risk, and hospitals too full to handle everyone. That takes the conversation out of bunker fantasy and into the boring stuff that matters, like clean water and what happens when a small wound gets ugly. Jason presses on water storage. He asks about shelf life, containers, what needs to be added, and whether a home water heater can serve as backup supply. Cody answers from experience, including sealed outdoor tanks, annual fills of about 1,600 gallons, and water that sat for a year without treatment. He does not pretend the stats are tidy. If stored water makes someone nervous, he says chlorine bleach can be added in small measured amounts. For a five gallon jerry can filled in better times, he gives the math: two to four drops per quart, or eight to sixteen drops per gallon. That is where the episode works best. It keeps circling back to ordinary homes, ordinary containers, and choices made before trouble shows up. Jason plays the skeptic, taking big survival claims and dragging them into the closet, the bathtub, the water heater, and the crowded hospital. The warning is grim, but useful: self reliance here means having a workable plan before overwhelmed systems become your only plan.
