94_Prepared, Not Paranoid with Jim Cobb
Preparedness should make you more capable — not more paranoid.<br />In this episode of the DisasterClass Podcast, Jason Perez and Pappy sit down with Jim Cobb, a nationally recognized authority on disaster readiness and the Editor in Chief of Backwoods Survival Guide magazine.<br /><br />Jim has spent roughly 40 years involved in preparedness, survival, self-reliance, and disaster readiness. He has written numerous books and hundreds of articles, and he brings a grounded, practical perspective to a topic that is often overwhelmed by fear, gear, and online misinformation.<br /><br />This conversation focuses on real-world preparedness: what has changed over the last four decades, what has stayed the same, and what families can actually do to become more capable before disruption happens.<br /><br />Jason, Pappy, and Jim discuss financial preparedness, water storage, evacuation planning, beginner mistakes, social media myths, fantasy bug-out plans, community support, OPSEC, soft skills, communication, physical capability, and why small practical actions matter more than endless planning.<br /><br />This is not a fear-based prepping episode. It is a practical conversation about readiness, resilience, and common-sense self-reliance.<br /><br />Guest:<br />Jim Cobb<br />Editor in Chief, Backwoods Survival Guide magazine<br />Author of Prepper’s Long-Term Survival Guide, Prepper’s Home Defense, Countdown to Preparedness, The Urban Prepper’s Guide, and Common Sense Everyday Carry.<br /><br />Guest Links:<br />The Survival Weekly Dispatch: https://jimcobb.substack.com/<br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.cobb.739/<br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimcobb_ig/<br />X: https://x.com/jimcobbprepper<br /><br />🔗 Sponsors & Partners<br />🩸 STOP THE BLEED® Coalition<br />Uncontrolled bleeding is a leading cause of preventable death after injury.

93_HazAdapt: Making Emergency Preparedness Easier
Emergency preparedness has a problem.<br />Not because people do not care.<br />Not because they are lazy.<br />Not because they are ignoring risk on purpose.<br /><br />For many people, preparedness has become overwhelming.<br /><br />Wildfires. Floods. Extreme weather. Mass shootings. Infrastructure failures. Disease outbreaks. Alerts keep coming, but most people are still trying to figure out where to start.<br /><br />In this documentary-style episode of the DisasterClass Podcast, Jason Perez and Jason “Pappy” Martin explore that challenge through a conversation with Ginny from HazAdapt.<br />HazAdapt is designed to make emergency and disaster preparedness more approachable, more usable, and more human-centered. Instead of assuming everyone is already prepared, HazAdapt meets people where they are — often at what Ginny describes as a “just-in-time preparedness level.”<br /><br />This episode explores:<br />• Why “all-hazards preparedness” can overwhelm the public<br />• Why people often default to Google, Facebook, or social media during emergencies<br />• How stress affects decision-making during a crisis<br />• Why emergency guidance needs to be easy to understand under pressure<br />• How HazAdapt acts like a “hazard helper” in your hand<br />• Real-world stories where simple guidance helped people make better emergency decisions<br />• Why preparedness is not just about information — it is about human behavior, trust, and interaction<br />• How communities can make preparedness more social, practical, and empowering<br /><br />Preparedness should not make people feel afraid.<br />It should make people feel capable.<br /><br />Learn more about HazAdapt:<br />HazAdapt.com<br />Featured Guest / Resource:<br />HazAdapt Safety App<br />HazAdapt.com<br />Available through the web, App Store, and Google Play.<br /><br />🔗 Sponsors & Partners<br />🩸 STOP THE BLEED® Coalition<br />Uncontrolled bleeding is a leading cause of preventable death after injury.
