Survival Pun k | Ep426: From Flat Tire to Full Collapse: Everyday Disasters as Training

Prepping doesn’t always look like bug-out bags and bunker drills. Sometimes it’s changing a tire in the rain. Sometimes it’s figuring out how to cook dinner when the propane runs out. In Episode 426 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re diving into how those annoying, inconvenient daily hiccups are actually training grounds for the real deal.
The Flat Tire Mindset
Changing a tire isn’t just a car skill — it’s a readiness skill. It tests your ability to stay calm, work with your hands, and solve problems under pressure. That moment of frustration, of being stuck and needing to fix it yourself? That’s survival in miniature.
Even better? Teach your kids. Show them how to jack the car up, pull the lug nuts, and swap it out. It’s hands-on, confidence-building, and way more useful than half the stuff they learn in school. You’re not just giving them a chore — you’re planting seeds of independence and grit.
