The Changing Earth Podcast, Survival Fiction & Facts

Venezuela Double Earthquake: Real Lessons for The Great Quake & How to Prepare
On June 24, 2026, Venezuela was rocked by a devastating double earthquake — a 7.2 followed just 39 seconds later by a 7.5. This real-world event gives us a powerful look at what happens when infrastructure fails and governments are forced into national triage.
In this episode, we break down the lessons from Venezuela and how they apply to The Great Quake scenario in our series. We also cover practical, hands-on preparedness steps you can take right now — from building a solid bedside kit to neighborhood CERT response priorities.
Because when systems go down, preparedness isn't fear-based… it's love in action.

Mule Power in Disaster Response – Mike Toberer of Mission Mules
Mike Toberer, founder of Mission Mules and owner of Mountain Mule Packers, joins us to share how pack mules have been used to deliver critical supplies in real disasters. After Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, Mike and his team took mules into areas where roads had collapsed and no vehicles could reach. He shares powerful stories from the ground, including the heartbreaking loss of several mules and how Samaritan's Purse stepped in to help them continue the mission.
We also discuss the team's work in Texas after major flooding, where they supported river recovery crews and began...
From Dog Kennel to Chicken Mansion – Building Real Food Security on a Changing Earth
In this episode, we pull back the wire on our complete Texas chicken coop system — built from affordable Tractor Supply dog kennels, salvaged fence wood, 2ft paver blocks, PVC framing, and smart predator-proofing.

Whether you're starting small or scaling up, this is practical homesteading you can replicate today.
Then we deliver a full Changing Earth News update: a chronological look at the major disasters of late March through April 2026 — deadly flooding in K...
