E.J. Snyder isn’t just a survivalist—he’s a full-on force of nature. You’ve seen him conquer the wild on Naked and Afraid, Dual Survival, and First Man Out. With 206 survival days under his belt and a 25-year Army career behind him, E.J. has walked into jungles with nothing—and walked out with wisdom. Now, he’s using that knowledge to help everyday people prepare for real-world emergencies at home.

In this episode, Adam and E.J. dive deep into what real preparedness looks like in a world that feels increasingly unstable. They talk about Emergency Home Preparedness, E.J.’s powerful new guide for building a safer, more resilient life. From prepping your house and car to knowing your neighbors and staying calm in chaos—this convo delivers insights that are as practical as they are powerful. If you’ve ever wondered what it really means to be ready... this is your episode.
