Two Is One, One Is None: Why Backups Matter with Greg Peterson

What happens when your backup plan fails? And what happens when your backup to the backup fails, too?

In this episode of Homesteading Made Simple, Wendi Bergin sits down with her good friend Greg Peterson of The Urban Farm Podcast to talk about preparedness, self-reliance, and the peace that comes from knowing you can take care of yourself and your family.

Greg shares what Hurricane Helene taught him about backup generators, water storage, and the importance of testing your equipment before you need it. Wendi shares her own experiences with preparedness, from stocking a pantry with food her family actually eats to learning skills that can never be taken away.

Together, they explore why preparedness isn't about fear, hoarding supplies, or preparing for the end of the world. It's about building a way of life that allows you to care for yourself, support your family, and serve your community when life gets difficult.

Because sometimes the most important thing you can store isn't food or equipment. It's knowledge, confidence, and the ability to begin again.
