TOPS Bunker Podcast - A Podcast For Preppers

Keith Otworth & Rhonda Triggs

TOPS Bunker Podcast.

By no means are we the actual, original podcast within the preparedness genre, but we really wanted to have a mascot for the show and of course, that had to be the hairy man himself... BIGFOOT. If anyone was to be crowned, The Original Prepper Survivalist, that title should most definitely go to Sasquatch.
As if y'all couldn't tell, we like to keep things light and fun. And in most cases, that includes this show and as well TOPS Bunker Group on Facebook. We get serious when we need to... mad when we have to... but most days we're just kickin around Survivalist and Preparedness ideas and mindsets to help our listeners and ourselves, be the best modern-day Preppers we can be.

Systems, like congress, drag on, stall, and even stop. Government Secrets, Big Pharma Scams, Stolen Elections, and Fake News. For too many years now, people have become way too comfortable pretending that it’s all good. Everything's fine. I hope so. I do. But hope… is not a plan. Hope is an emotional state of mind. Hope alone… is not a plan. We hope for the best, but plan for the worst. Tonight, we’re stepping into that world where Hope plus Planning equals Readiness, with return guest… Christina Bowers. Business owner. Realtor. Mother. Wife. and Homesteader. Hands in the dirt. Eyes wide open. Faith driven and No excuses. She’s managing her home. Raising her young family. Producing her own food, all while navigating the modern grind, at the same time. That’s the kind of pressure most people avoid. But not her. She leans into it. Let’s welcome Christina back to the show and see if we can get her to tell us how she does it. Support the show
