It’s been a month and a half since Hurricane Helene struck, and today, we’re on the ground again with someone who’s been in the thick of it since day one. Join me as I interview a dedicated rescue team member who shares incredible stories of survival, community, and hard lessons learned in the aftermath of disaster. From bringing in cadaver dogs to locate victims to performing miraculous rescues with nothing but teamwork and grit, he’s seen it all. He even reflects on his own preparedness, admitting he forgot his sleeping bag and nearly froze during one of the first cold nights.

In this video, we dive into the realities of disaster response, how they managed without reliable communication, and what it truly takes to be prepared in extreme conditions. These are critical lessons for every prepper, as we learn from both his successes and the surprising oversights even a seasoned responder can make.

Six weeks after Hurricane Helene, I’m back in the field for an indepth interview with a longtime rescue team member who’s been working on the ground since day one. We’ve worked together on past projects, and he shares firsthand stories about rescue operations, bringing in cadaver dogs, finding survivors, and the struggle of operating without reliable power. He opens up about how, even as a preparedminded individual, he overlooked some essentials—like his sleeping bag—which nearly cost him a sleepless, freezing night.

As always, I’m here with my vehicle preparedness bag, ready for anything these zones throw my way. This video highlights realworld insights into staying prepared, from critical lessons to ontheground teamwork and resilience. These experiences are invaluable reminders of why being prepared matters—whether you're on the ground or gearing up at home.
