War Notes | Ep20: The Jerboa That Squeaked: Broke and Woke NATO on the Warpath Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

“If in 10 years, all American troops stationed in Europe for national defense purposes have not been returned to the United States, then this whole project [NATO] will have failed.”

-General of the Army Dwight Eisenhower, February, 1951

The Greenland debacle is bringing the NATO relationship into better focus on just how bad the EU/SSR has become.

America should take a non-interventionist pause and get its internal house in order before standing astride the world again and lighting fires that never go away and continuously make things worse.

The US a deep history in Greenland:

1867: Andrew Johnson: explored buying Greenland & Iceland (right after Alaska).
WWII: FDR: U.S. took over Greenland’s defense while Denmark was occupied.
1946: Truman: offered $100M in gold to buy it.
Cold War: Eisenhower → Kennedy: nonstop negotiations for bases, radar, missiles.
Post–Cold War: Clinton/Bush/Obama: expanded Arctic security & missile defense.
2019: Trump said publicly what presidents discussed privately for 150+ years.

The U.S. didn’t “suddenly” want Greenland.

It’s been defending it, negotiating it, and embedding there since the 1800s.

Greenland = Arctic power, shipping lanes, missiles, minerals, and bases.

Trump didn’t invent it.

He said the quiet part out loud.

There is a realpolitik logic to the concerns.

Stop the madness.

Survival Punk | Ep577: The Gear You’ll Never Use (And Why You Bought It Anyway) Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

There’s a lot of gear that looks cool, feels cool to buy, and then quietly sits in a closet for years. In this episode, I’m talking about the stuff that rarely gets used — the gear you bought anyway — and how to think about whether it was a smart purchase or just fantasy prepping. Some of this gear is absolutely worth owning even if you never use it. Other gear should probably be getting a lot more reps than it does.

Ready Your Future | SHTF Cleaning: How to Disinfect and Sanitize Your Home When the Supply Chain Collapses Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

Most preppers have stockpiled food, water, and medical supplies, but far fewer have seriously considered what happens when the cleaning products run out. In a prolonged SHTF scenario, sanitation isn't a convenience—it's the difference between a manageable situation and a cascading health crisis that can take down an entire household. The flu doesn't stop because supply chains have collapsed. Foodborne illness doesn't care that you can't run to the store for more disinfectant. If your preparedness plan relies on commercial cleaners with limited shelf lives, you may be far less prepared than you think.

In this episode, Todd breaks down the essential knowledge every serious prepper needs for maintaining a sanitary living environment when resupply isn't an option. You'll learn which common items offer indefinite shelf stability for SHTF cleaning purposes, why the solutions you've read about in prepper forums may not work the way you assume, and the critical distinctions that could mean the difference between effective disinfection and false confidence. This isn't about stockpiling more products—it's about understanding the science behind sanitation so you can adapt and create what you need from shelf-stable supplies you can store for years.

The ability to maintain a clean, disease-free environment is a fundamental skill that protects everything else you've worked to build. These aren't theoretical concerns—they're the practical realities that will define quality of life in any extended grid-down or collapse scenario.

Christian Prepper | The Silent Ones Jan 17, 2026

Show notes

What happens when the faithful stay silent while a vocal few reshape the world around them? In this thought-provoking episode, Todd examines a pattern that Christian preppers cannot afford to ignore—how small, loud minorities consistently move culture, policy, and community standards while the majority sits quietly on the sidelines, assuming everything will work out. From workplace dynamics to online communities, the evidence is clear: silence is not neutrality, and those who value faith, family, and preparedness are often the ones least likely to speak up when it matters most.

This episode challenges the silent majority mindset that has left many Christian preppers watching from the sidelines as the things they value erode around them. Todd shares real-world examples of how strategic, kind, and purposeful communication can create meaningful change—and why coming to the table with respect rather than hostility opens doors that aggressive tactics never will. More importantly, he pushes listeners to take an honest inventory of their own values and consider where their voice might be needed in their church, community, workplace, or beyond.

For preppers who understand that true preparedness extends beyond stockpiles and skills, this episode delivers an essential reminder: knowing what you value and being willing to stand for it is fundamental to the Christian prepper lifestyle. The next time you see a vocal minority pushing against something you hold dear, consider whether your silence is serving your family, your faith, and your future—or working against them.
