In this episode of the Future Forecast Podcast, host Dennis Nappi II sits down with guest Bones, a seasoned prepper from Florida, to deliver a grounded, no-fear approach to emergency preparedness in today’s unpredictable world.
Bones shares his journey from growing up on a rural homestead to becoming deeply embedded in the preparedness community after a short stint in the Marine Corps and years of working blue-collar construction. His core message: you don’t need to panic—just prepare smartly and build local resilience.
🔑 Key Topics Covered:
What Prepping Really Means: It’s not doomsday fear—it’s having basic needs covered when systems fail (natural disaster, economic collapse, civil unrest, etc.)
The Importance of Community: Local skills-sharing and bartering are critical; prepping is easier and more sustainable when done together.
Bug-Out Bag Essentials: Tailored kits for individuals and families including socks, paracord, fishing line, tarps, LifeStraws, emergency blankets, and basic medical gear.
Low-Budget Prep Tips: Dryer lint as fire starter, Vaseline-soaked cotton balls, rice and beans as food staples, and urban chicken coops.
Home as Base Camp: How to stockpile water, food, and heat sources for shelter-in-place scenarios.
Why You Shouldn’t Rely on FEMA or Red Cross Shelters: Issues with weapons restrictions, pet policies, and past inefficiencies (e.g. Katrina).
Navigating Crisis Events: Practical advice for what to do if sheltering isn’t possible—get high, get dry, and secure a vantage point.
Bones brings a practical, lived-in wisdom to the conversation, emphasizing realistic readiness over paranoia. His insights are accessible for both beginners and experienced preppers.
“We’re not here to scare you… we’re here to help you think ahead.”
