In Episode 86 of The Kershner Files, Dave provides the usual Survival Realty, Gun Shows, and now conferences & convention information. After all of that, he discusses several foreign and domestic topics that will affect your preparedness plans. The first is the progress of the Convention of States movement. From there, he notes some simulated advancements in energy production, the Fed possibly benefitting from a Powell resignation and lowered rates, and apparently some Powell corruption caught by James O'Keefe. He wasn't done there… Dave takes some time to highlight the vindication of a Utah doctor before finishing the show discussing China social credit scores, possible Iranian unrest, and the new China/Iran train.

In Episode 459 of the Survival Punk Podcast, I talk about one of the strangest but most telling moments I've had in a store: a woman — masked up in 2025 — picked up a package of fresh tomatoes and asked, “Where's the expiration date?”
Most survival content acts like we all live in the woods with a fire pit and a lean-to. But what about the rest of us — stuck in cities, suburbs, or apartments when disaster hits? In Episode 458 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we dive into five urban survival tools that actually matter. No bushcraft fantasy. No tactical cosplay. Just gear that keeps you alive in concrete chaos.
If you had to go off-grid tomorrow — no U-Haul, no second trip — what five tools would you take? In Episode 457 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we strip it down to the bare essentials. No fluff, no fantasy gear — just the core tools that can keep you alive, building, and thriving when the system's gone.
This episode marks the final chapter of the Jeffers Brief as John Jeffers reflects on over a decade of broadcasting on the Contra Radio Network. Dive into the evolution of his podcast journey, from its inception in 2014 to its growth into diverse topics beyond prepping and survival. With heartfelt gratitude, Jeffers thanks his loyal listeners and passes the baton to Dave Kershner, ensuring the continued legacy of the network. Explore insights on making an impact in the podcasting world and the reasons behind his step back, as Jeffers looks forward to future possibilities and relishes the community that has supported him all these years. Join us as we celebrate the stories, challenges, and triumphs of the Jeffers Brief and understand the transition that marks a new era for the Contra Radio Network, now under Kershner's guidance. A reflective and hopeful episode dedicated to the listeners and supporters who have been part of this remarkable journey. The end of the show has tacked on bits.
In Episode 217, Dave starts the show with some insight on Trump the consoler and the Texas floods. From there, he stays on the domestic front by discussing the Potato, his doctor, lever puller Barry, and Auto-Pen Jill. Dave closes the show by reviewing the vast amount of land ownership by Bill Gates and the CCP.

In Episode 456 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're getting our hands dirty with a topic that matters more than most people realize — tools. Not the tactical gear with molle straps. Real tools. Power tools, hand tools, and the stuff that lets you build, fix, and survive without waiting on someone else.
In Episode 455 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're hitting a reality that too many preppers gloss over: being broke. You don't need stacks of cash, a fancy bugout rig, or a retreat in the woods to get prepared. You just need grit, creativity, and the right mindset.
In Episode 85 of The Kershner Files, Dave provides the usual Survival Realty, Gun Shows, and now conferences & convention information. After all of that, he discusses the full court press pushback on migrants around the world. This about face is making everything extremely dangerous in all of these countries including the US and especially in Mexico. Dave also touches on the flooding in Texas, the WHO expanding their global powers and reach, a weather modification bill being introduced in the House, and the EU ditching their carbon tax. Dave closes the show discussing rights we'll likely lose if martial law is declared.

In Episode 454 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're getting into one of the most basic but essential pieces of survival: shelter. Whether you're stuck in the woods or navigating a blacked-out city, you need a place to get out of the wind, stay dry, and protect yourself from the elements.
In Episode 453 of the Survival Punk Podcast, I'm diving into something most people avoid like the plague: failure. Messing up. Falling on your face. Making bad calls, burning food, blowing a DIY job, or prepping wrong. And why you should learn to love it.
In Episode 452 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're digging into the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill — a massive piece of legislation that's being called everything from a game-changer to a political stunt. But forget the headlines — we're talking about what it means for real people, especially preppers.
In Episode 451 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're asking a hard question for the Fourth of July: What would the Founding Fathers think of America today? Would Jefferson see liberty? Would Washington see a proud, self-reliant people? Or would they see a country slowly smothered by comfort, control, and compliance? This isn't a history lesson. It's a wake-up call.
On this week's episode of The Prepping Academy, we welcome a special guest, John Jacob Schmidt, founder of AmRRON, for a discussion on the history of AmRRON and what the future holds. We also discuss his new project, AmRRON Reloaded, and efforts to grow the ranks of individuals capable of effectively communicating in any emergency situation. Remember, the annual AmRRON national grid down communications exercise takes place later in July. It is your opportunity to test your skills and see what information you can receive during the exercise. Remember, if you do not have communications when the balloon goes up, you are just another refugee staring at your dead cell phone, wondering what just happened.

In Episode 216, Dave starts the show with his tin foil hat due to the pearl clutching as a result of fencing going up in DC for the 4th of July festivities. However, there may be other nefarious forces at work behind the fencing. After that, he discusses the announcement that we're going to suspend shipping munitions to Ukraine. From there, Dave gleefully discusses the UPenn 180 in order to get ahold of the Fed dollars. He closes the show by passionately decrying the lack of planning by conservative minded legislative members of Congress or in law firms nationwide as another agenda driven leftist judge finds a loophole to thwart our deportation wishes.

In Episode 450 of the Survival Punk Podcast, I'm laying it out straight: I no longer call myself a libertarian — and here's why. This isn't about giving up on freedom, individual responsibility, or small government. It's about recognizing that the libertarian movement, and especially the Libertarian Party, has lost the plot — and I'm not interested in being associated with it anymore.

In Episode 449 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're digging into the AI job apocalypse — not the future, but what's already been lost. This isn't just about robots taking your job tomorrow. It's about entire industries that have already vanished... and what that means for the next wave of collapse.
In Episode 84 of The Kershner Files, Dave provides a ton of updates along with the usual Survival Realty, Gun Shows, and now conferences & convention information. After all of that, he shares his thoughts on the increase in extremist islamic terrorism, steps to avoid being a targeted victim, the pushback against migration, and illegals being stopped (potentially) from sending money home.

In Episode 448 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're getting into something uncomfortable — and necessary: radical responsibility. Inspired by ideas in The 10X Rule by Grant Cardone, this episode is about owning everything in your life, even the stuff that isn't your fault. Because here's the truth most people don't want to hear: you might not be the cause, but you're still responsible for what happens next.
In Episode 447 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're getting into a topic most preppers ignore until it's too late: comfort. Not just food, but the stuff that keeps you sane when the world's gone sideways — stories, games, music, and rituals that remind you you're still human.
In Episode 215, Dave starts the show discussing Trump's repeated SCOTUS wins before turning his attention to a peace deal in Congo, the US economy, tariff's, and a potential Fed rate cut in September. After all of that, Dave circles back and discusses the SCOTUS ruling allowing South Carolina to prohibit Medicaid money for Planned Parenthood. Dave closes the show with a round up of news and current events related to the pushback on mass unchecked migration in the UK, Northern Ireland, many EU countries, Australia, and the US.

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.
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.

In Episode 83 of The Kershner Files, Dave provides a ton of updates along with the usual Survival Realty, Gun Shows, and now conferences & convention information. After all of that, he shares some research results for just how long all of those condiment and sauce packets last.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
In Episode 82 of The Kershner Files, Dave provides a ton of updates along with the usual Survival Realty and Gun Show information. After all of that, he takes considerable time to discuss water system vulnerabilities in conjunction with the previously discussed rogue comms devices and some other events. From there, Dave closes the show with two different warnings for the potential of Civil Wars not only in the US but also throughout Europe.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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
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.

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.
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.
