The 2025 Blackout Killed 8 People. Could You Survive Without Power?

In this episode, we're diving into the massive blackout that hit Spain, Portugal, and France on April 28th, 2025. Power dropped by 60 percent in seconds. Hospitals scrambled to keep patients alive. Communications failed. At least eight people died.

But you don’t need a national disaster for your world to go dark. One storm, one transformer, one cyberattack and it’s just you, your family, and whatever you have ready.

I’ll break down exactly what happened during the 2025 blackout and the chain reaction that followed. Then we get into real-world prepping strategies you can use right now to get ready for a power outage. Whether you live in a high-rise apartment or a farmhouse.

We talk about how to store water in a bathtub without ruining it. Why 5-gallon buckets are your new best friend. How to cook, heat your home, and stay secure when the grid is down. What to pack in a get-home bag. What actually works in tight spaces. And the tools I trust to get through 3 days or 30.

If you’re trying to protect your home, your health, and your family during a blackout, this episode is for you.

Hit play, take notes, and let’s get prepared.
