Mindless Banter 142 – Q&A – Wives
📄 Episode Description
Once a year, we bring in the real decision-makers. The wives are back for the annual Q&A, and nothing is off limits. From prepping habits they secretly hate, to what they’d actually want in a post-collapse scavenger bag, to whether they’d choose a bear over a prepper convention… this one gets honest fast.
We dig into marriage, preparedness, clutter, hobbies, survival food debates, and yes… couch-sleeping-level questions. If you’ve ever wondered what prepping looks like from the other side of the house, this episode delivers.
