Survival Punk | Ep446: Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal Jun 28, 2025

In Episode 446 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we take a hard look at the red tape, restrictions, and straight-up stupidity that makes basic self-reliance a legal landmine. Inspired by Joel Salatin’s legendary book Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal, this episode pulls back the curtain on how laws and regulations actively work against your ability to be healthy, free, and prepared.

Prepper Net's Prepping Academy | Prepper Camp 2025 Preview Jun 28, 2025

Podcast Summary: Prepper Camp 2025 Preview with James Walton & Forrest Garvin

In this energetic episode of ⁠The Prepper Broadcasting Network⁠, host ⁠James Walton⁠ sits down with preparedness leader Forrest Garvin to deliver an insider’s look at Prepper Camp 2025, happening September 26–28, 2025, in Saluda, North Carolina. Over roughly thirty minutes, the conversation highlights why Prepper Camp has become the premier “family reunion” for America’s self-reliance community and what new skills, speakers, and experiences await attendees this year.

Garvin—founder of ⁠PrepperNet⁠ and a former airman turned Bank of America webmaster—explains how his unique journey from Y2K concerns to modern cyber-threats fuels the two classes he’ll teach on-site:

“⁠Privacy & Security: How to Disappear on the Internet⁠” – step-by-step methods to shield your address, phone number, and financial data from data-breach fallout.
“⁠The Case for Cryptocurrency⁠” – a courtroom-style defense of Bitcoin and digital assets as part of every prepper’s PACE financial plan.

The pair also previews Prepper Camp’s 60+ daily workshops, from ham radio mesh networks to hands-on fire-starting, plus evening concerts, vendor lanes stocked with freeze-dried food and survival gear, and the famous Tent City campfires where lifelong friendships form. Garvin shares memorable moments—such as late-night chats with fellow instructor Dave Wolf—and reminds listeners that 150–200 ⁠PrepperNet members⁠ typically gather for Friday-night dinners, making the event the best networking opportunity in preparedness.

Walton closes with a timely call-to-action: tickets are currently discounted at ⁠PrepperCamp.com⁠, but prices rise fast. If you want expert survival training, actionable privacy tactics, and real-world crypto insights—all in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains—mark your calendar for ⁠Prepper Camp 2025 in Saluda, NC⁠ , and secure your spot today.

Survival Punk | Ep445: Beating the Heat Before It Beats You Jun 26, 2025

In Episode 445 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re tackling a killer that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: heat. Summer is here, and with it comes record-breaking temps, blackout risks, and real dangers for anyone living in a concrete jungle — or storing gear in a hot vehicle.

Survival Punk | Ep443: The Illusion of Money Scarcity: You Can Make More Than You Think Jun 26, 2025

In Episode 443 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re breaking down a dangerous lie that keeps people stuck: the illusion of money scarcity. So many people — especially those who’ve struggled growing up — believe they’ll never have enough. That money is this rare, magical thing other people get, but they don’t. And that mindset? It’s the first thing keeping you broke.

Survival Punk | Ep442: Sharpening & Sewing: The Forgotten Survival Skills Jun 26, 2025

In Episode 442 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re going back to basics — the kind of basics that keep your gear working and your clothes from falling apart when it really counts. Sharpening blades and sewing repairs aren’t glamorous, but they’re survival gold. You can have all the high-end tools and tactical clothing in the world, but if you can’t maintain them, you’re just waiting for failure.

The Lightning Round | Ep214: Review of the Covid Years, Autopen Investigation Heats Up, Laughing at Lefties, Save the Farm Jun 21, 2025

In Episode 214, Dave starts the show discussing some inside scoop details in the medical field as it relates to Covid and the jabby jabs. From there, he has a wide ranging conversation about this auto pen business. Dave then turns his attention to the latest SCOTUS ruling and the left is predictably apoplectic. After those serious topics, he then has some fun at the expense of libs when he talks about their attempts to get into Gaza, celebrate pride month in the Middle East, and Vance joining the uber leftist propaganda app Bluesky. Dave closes the show with a feel-good story about the Trump administration stepping in and possibly saving a 175 year old family farm in New Jersey. Article Links:

Survival Punk | Ep441: Fathers Matter: The Backbone of a Strong Society Jun 21, 2025

In Episode 441 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re talking about something you don’t hear much in the prepping world — but it’s at the core of everything we do: the importance of fathers. A strong father isn’t just a personal blessing. He’s a stabilizer, a teacher, and a builder of the next generation. And if we want to rebuild or survive the fall of society, we need to start by recognizing just how much fathers matter.

The Kershner Files | Ep82: Water System Vulnerability plus CCP Devices in Power Inverters, Civil Wars in the EU and US? Jun 19, 2025

Survival Punk | Ep440: The Federal Reserve - The Hidden Hand in Your Pocket Jun 19, 2025

In Episode 440 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain on a system most folks never question: The Federal Reserve. You work hard for your money — but the Fed controls its value, its supply, and its future. If you want to be truly self-reliant, you need to understand the game you’re caught in — and how to stop playing it their way.

Survival Punk | Ep439: Riot Ready: Staying Safe When the Crowd Goes Wild Jun 18, 2025

In Episode 439 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re tackling one of the most chaotic and fast-moving threats you can face: riots. When tempers flare and crowds turn violent, things spiral fast. And the best prep isn’t a gas mask or body armor — it’s staying the hell out of the way.

PrepperNet's Prepping Academy | Helene Communications 4 Jun 18, 2025

In this episode of Grid Down Comms Up on the Prepping Academy, Patrick looks at tactical and team communications and strategic communications in a disaster. Team communications are a simple concept, but become surprisingly complex when users enter the equation. Frequency coordination and interference are a reality of a large-scale disaster scene. We discuss how that impacts operations and how we can avoid some of those issues. Strategic communication is frequently overlooked by the prepping and survival community, usually due to the lone wolf mentality. In a disaster, you aren't going to be the lone wolf; you may even be the voice of your community. Having the skills and tools to quickly and effectively relay the needs of those around you is critical to helping those who are trying to help you. In this episode, we look at some details and facts of communications to support the logistical log train to keep your community going in a disaster.

Survival Punk | Ep438: Don’t Build a Museum: Use Your Preps Jun 18, 2025

In Episode 438 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re calling out one of the most common traps preppers fall into: turning your stash into a museum. It’s easy to pile up gear, food, tools, and supplies — and then leave them sitting untouched, collecting dust like relics of some imagined collapse. But prepping isn’t about hoarding. It’s about readiness. And if you’re not using your preps, you’re not ready.

Survival Punk | Ep437: The Right Tool for the Job — And What to Do When You Don’t Have It Jun 18, 2025

In Episode 437 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re talking about something that separates smooth, efficient survival from frustration and failure: using the right tool for the job. Whether you’re building, fixing, cooking, or defending — the right tool makes the job faster, safer, and cleaner. But what happens when you don’t have it? That’s where mindset and improvisation take over.

The Lightning Round | Ep213: Strikes in Iran, Wilders Forces Dutch Elections, Court Blocks Voter ID, and LA is Burning Jun 14, 2025

In Episode 213, Dave starts the show discussing the Israeli strikes in Iran. From there he moves to the Netherlands where Party of Freedom leader Geert Wilders blew up the PMs administration and forced elections. Dave then covers a hodge lodge of topics like Trumps court setback and the House passing a recession bill to codify the DOGE savings. He closes the show by providing some of the info that isn’t making it to legacy media regarding the ‘mostly peaceful protests’ out in LA.

Survival Punk | Ep436: Staying Safe: Threat Assessment and Common Sense Survival Jun 14, 2025

In Episode 436 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re getting tactical about something that should be obvious but too often isn’t: staying alive by not being stupid. Survival isn’t always about fire-starting or food storage — sometimes it’s just about not putting yourself in danger in the first place

Survival Punk | Ep435: Legacy: What Will Outlast You? Jun 14, 2025

In Episode 435 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re stepping back from the gear and grit to talk about something deeper: legacy. Prepping isn’t just about surviving the now — it’s about leaving something behind. Something solid. Something that matters. What you build today can echo into generations — if you do it right.

Survival Punk | Ep434: Water Is Life: Backup Systems for SHTF Sanitation Jun 12, 2025

In Episode 434 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re talking about something a lot of preppers overlook until it’s too late: running water. Not just bottled water for drinking — but actual systems to keep water flowing for cooking, washing, flushing, and staying clean when the grid goes down.

Survival Punk | Ep433: Take What You Want From Life Jun 12, 2025

In Episode 433 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re breaking down a truth most people don’t want to hear: no one is coming to save you. If you want more from life — more freedom, more income, more options — you have to go take it. Because nothing is handed out. And sitting around waiting for a better life to show up isn’t a survival strategy — it’s a trap.

The Kershner Files | Ep81: Another Summer of Love on the Horizon - Do NOT Stop Preparing Jun 11, 2025

In Episode 432 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re getting into one of the most underrated survival skills out there — troubleshooting. This isn’t just about fixing gear. It’s a way of thinking. A mindset. The ability to stay calm, identify the problem, and make things work — even if the solution isn’t perfect.

The Lightning Round | Ep212: Polish Election Results, AZ Gov to Allow CCP Purchases, Lawfare News, and Interest Rates Jun 07, 2025

In Episode 212, Dave starts the show discussing the Polish election results and Ep211 commentary on the my Rumble Channel. From there, he discusses the AZ Gov veto that would have prohibited CCP land ownership and the continued on-going law fare against the Trumpster. The latest case being kicked to SCOTUS pertains to the dismantling of the US Dept of Ed. Dave closes the show with some comments on the Fed Chair not lowering rates. Articles discussed/reviewed:

In Episode 80 of The Kershner Files, Dave starts the show by discussing some topics and current events that will shape and impact your preparedness plans.

Survival Punk | Ep428: Trash Becomes Treasure: SHTF Repurposing Hacks Jun 03, 2025

In Episode 428 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re turning garbage into gear. When supply chains crumble and stores go dark, you won’t be able to run to Home Depot or hit “Buy Now.” But survival isn’t about shiny tools — it’s about creativity. The truth is, there’s a whole world of function hiding in the stuff most people throw away.

Survival Punk | Ep427: Prepper Burnout: When Readiness Wears You Down Jun 03, 2025

Let’s be honest—prepping can get exhausting. When you’re constantly thinking about what could go wrong, stocking up, learning skills, staying alert… it’s easy to hit a wall. In Episode 427 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re diving into something every serious prepper will face eventually: burnout.

Survival Pun k | Ep426: From Flat Tire to Full Collapse: Everyday Disasters as Training May 30, 2025

Prepping doesn’t always look like bug-out bags and bunker drills. Sometimes it’s changing a tire in the rain. Sometimes it’s figuring out how to cook dinner when the propane runs out. In Episode 426 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re diving into how those annoying, inconvenient daily hiccups are actually training grounds for the real deal.

The Flat Tire Mindset

Changing a tire isn’t just a car skill — it’s a readiness skill. It tests your ability to stay calm, work with your hands, and solve problems under pressure. That moment of frustration, of being stuck and needing to fix it yourself? That’s survival in miniature.

Even better? Teach your kids. Show them how to jack the car up, pull the lug nuts, and swap it out. It’s hands-on, confidence-building, and way more useful than half the stuff they learn in school. You’re not just giving them a chore — you’re planting seeds of independence and grit.

Survival Punk | Ep425: The Housing Market Collapse: What Preppers Need to Know May 30, 2025

The housing market is out of control — and it’s not just headlines, it’s real. In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we dive deep into the numbers, the history, and what it means for those of us who want to survive and thrive outside the system. Because when the roof over your head becomes unaffordable, it’s time to start thinking like a prepper, not a consumer.

The Kershner Files | Ep79: Ammo Prices Set to Increase, EDC Bag Options, and Electroculture Implemented in the Garden May 28, 2025
