The State of Prepping in America 2026: Are Americans Really Prepared?
Is America becoming more prepared, or are we more vulnerable than ever? What will emergency preparedness look like in 2026?
In this episode of The Prepping Academy Podcast, preparedness expert and PrepperNet founder Forrest Garvin examines America's preparedness in 2026, exploring the biggest trends, challenges, and opportunities facing preppers, survivalists, and everyday families.
From economic uncertainty and cyberattacks to power grid failures, natural disasters, and supply chain disruptions, Americans are increasingly recognizing the importance of emergency preparedness. But are they actually taking the necessary steps to protect themselves?
Forrest explores how technology, artificial intelligence, emergency communications, homesteading, and community preparedness are transforming the prepping movement. He also explains why survival skills, self-reliance, and strong local networks matter more than simply stockpiling gear.
Discover why preparedness is becoming mainstream, where Americans are falling short, and what families should prioritize to become more resilient in an uncertain world.
