Be Prepared: No Theory, Just What Works With Tim Cook

Tim Cook brings boots-on-the-ground know-how, decades of experience, and a practical approach to self-reliance, preparedness, and building a sustainable life. Whether he’s getting rid of wasps with a homemade bee vacuum,  or showing you how to outthink a supply chain failure, Tim shows you what it really means to be prepared—not just for tomorrow, but for the decades ahead.

What you’ll learn:

• Real-world skills you can use now to build resilience and prosperity no matter what happens
• Where most folks waste time and energy in preparedness—and how to avoid it
• How to create systems that work even when things go sideways

I caught up with Tim and asked him a few things”

• If duct tape didn’t exist, what would be your ride-or-die fix-it material?
  I hope this isn’t a cheat but I would use what we call tuck tape up here in canada it is the red/blue/white tape that is used to seal vapor barrier.  Its basically like a strong stickier version of packing tape its easy to cut its light weight but it holds like a bugger.  I honestly use this more than anything as long as you don’t want it to let go.  One warning is it is damn near impossible to remove so expect whatever it is on to have some red residue if you try to remove it.
• What’s the weirdest barter deal you’ve ever made?
  I have traded a summer of lawn care for a brand new push mower,  built a set of shelves for a 1/10 ounce of gold, but the oddest barter I did was I did a winters worth of snow removal in trade for three soviet made 1940’s tokarev hand guns, which was totally legal which I had then planned on trading for a glock but there was an admin problem with the registration which delayed the sale until after the latest ban on handguns so unless something changes I am stuck with those three tokarevs for the rest of my days lol.
