Survival Punk | Ep389: Prepping for the Slow Collapse
from Contra Radio Network · host john jeffers
Most prepping content is built around a sudden, dramatic event: a grid-down blackout, an EMP, a nuclear strike, or a massive natural disaster. These "flashbang" events are dramatic and terrifying, but they’re not the only way society falls apart. In fact, history shows us that more often than not, collapse comes slowly. Systems rot from the inside, trust erodes, infrastructure crumbles—and one day, you wake up to realize you’re already living in the aftermath. In this episode, we’re talking about the slow collapse: what it looks like, why it’s dangerous, and how to prep for it.
