ER Nurse Prepper
With a background as a former ER RN/Paramedic and Attorney, I’ve witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, prolonged power outages, and the global upheaval caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Having navigated these crises, it’s evident that relying solely on government entities, be it local, state, or federal, might not be the most effective strategy. In fact, they are a recipe for disaster.
Take a moment to consider the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the response to COVID-19, or the extensive power outages resulting from grid failures in Texas in 2022. It becomes clear that self-preparedness is crucial. I’m deeply passionate about urban homestead prepping, and I invite you to embark on a journey towards preparedness with me. From essential emergency supplies to practical life-saving tips, let’s navigate this together. My mission is to guide you towards being prepped, not wrecked!

James Shook
Meet James, a seasoned RN/Paramedic with over 25 years of experience primarily in high-volume Emergency Rooms and Intensive Care Units. Throughout my career, I’ve encountered the impacts of massive tornadoes, hurricanes, extended power outages, and the global upheaval caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Through both personal experiences and conversations with friends and family who’ve been deployed, a resounding realization has taken root within me. Local, State, and Federal government entities often fall short in delivering the swift response needed during a true emergency. In truth, Local, State, and Federal government entities are inept in this aspect. The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the response to COVID-19, and the prolonged power outages in Texas following grid failures in 2022 highlight this reality. In light of this, I firmly believe that the best chance for survival is preparation.
Residing in an urban environment, I understand the challenges of lacking the traditional homestead benefits. Nevertheless, my enthusiasm lies in urban homestead prepping. I’m on a mission to guide you towards preparedness, ensuring you are “prepped, not wrecked!” Join me on this journey, from essential emergency supplies to practical life-saving tips. Let’s get prepped together!
P.S. Beware my terrifying Guard Yorkie; she will lick an arm off in a heartbeat!
