About this episode
David Burnell and Jeffrey Denning team up for a practical, no-fluff guide to everyday preparedness. Starting with true-to-life scenarios—urban errands, highway shutdowns, earthquakes, and mass-casualty responses—they break down exactly what to keep on your person, in your vehicle, and in a grab-and-go 72-hour kit.Topics include: picking footwear that won’t fail when you have to run, water storage and purification, calorie-smart foods, EDC blades and flashlights (and why “one is none”), tourniquets, gauze packing, chest seals, reflective vests, backup power/solar, analog radios, maps and alternate routes, meds/insulin contingencies, and simple annual kit refresh routines. Plus: realistic triage realities, Stop the Bleed/CPR training, and how-to kits for family members.Brought to you by EchoValor.com with friends at CrisisResponse.Help, JeffreyDenning.com, and DavidBurnell.com—because being prepared is an act of love.DOWNLOAD EDC PRINTABLE CHECKLISTS - PDF FILEDOWNLOAD FIRST AID PRINTABLE CHECKLISTS - PDF FILE Find this and other episodes from the Echo Valor Podcast by searching “Echo Valor Podcast” on your favorite podcast platform.
