Effective 20 June 2025, I did a major improved revision on the sound quality for all my WarNotes episodes retroactively thanks to the technology at Podsworth. It is time for America to completely reassess alliances and partnership around the world starting with NATO and then working its way down the list of useless and toxic relationships and promises to commit American blood and treasure to flashpoints planet-wide. NATO insisted after the wall 1989-91 fell that the NATO blob would NOT expand eastward. It did. 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.

Are you truly leveraging every resource available to you as a Christian prepper, or are you leaving your most powerful assets untapped? Too many preppers accumulate gear and supplies only to store them away, never testing them until crisis strikes. Even more critically, many prepping believers fail to recognize the extraordinary spiritual resource they carry within them every day. This episode challenges both approaches and reveals why faithful preppers must actively engage with all the resources at their disposal. In this episode, Todd examines a profound parallel between unused prepper gear and underutilized spiritual power. Drawing from the encounters of Moses at the burning bush and Joshua before Jericho, this teaching explores the concept of standing on holy ground and what it means to have constant access to divine guidance and strength. The episode then applies this principle directly to your preparedness efforts, addressing why Christian preppers often stockpile equipment without developing genuine proficiency. Todd outlines practical strategies for testing your gear, building real-world skills, and maintaining inventory systems that ensure your resources remain accessible when needed most. Whether it's a ham radio gathering dust or spiritual strength you've overlooked, this episode equips you to move from passive accumulation to active preparation. For preppers serious about readiness, understanding the full scope of your available resources, both physical and spiritual, represents fundamental knowledge that separates theoretical preparation from genuine capability.

Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and it's a crisp 56-degree morning — perfect weather to tackle a topic every prepper thinks they understand… until life humbles them: Discipline fails. Automation doesn't. Systems work.

Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and it's a chilly 45-degree morning out here — perfect weather to talk about one of my favorite survival topics that applies to everyone, every day: saving money like a prepper. Because the cold truth is this: everything costs more, wages haven't kept up, and if you aren't intentional, your money will evaporate faster than a Taco Bell taco in the hands of a 90s kid. Today we're hitting three big money-saving pillars straight from my own life: cutting your own hair, eating at home, and never paying retail. These simple habits save me thousands every year — and they'll do the same for you.

Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and this morning it's a cool 40 degrees — perfect weather to rant about something spicy: a YouTube commenter who proudly declared that “prepping is stupid.” Yeah. He said that on a prepping podcast video. Bold move, Cotton. But this episode isn't just me roasting one random dude with a strong opinion and weak logic — it's a deep dive into why prepping isn't stupid, why skills matter, and why it's not an either/or choice.

Have you ever considered that societal breakdown might not arrive with dramatic fanfare but instead through subtle, everyday changes? In this episode, Todd challenges Christian Preppers to reconsider their apocalyptic expectations, drawing a powerful parallel to how religious leaders in Jesus's time missed the Messiah because He didn't match their preconceived notions. This thought-provoking episode explores how economic collapse might manifest not as sudden bank closures, but as the slow erosion of purchasing power, and how grid failures could resemble rolling blackouts rather than permanent darkness. Todd examines why dogmatic thinking about disaster scenarios can leave even well-stocked preppers vulnerable when reality unfolds differently than anticipated. For truly prepared Christians, this episode offers profound insight into balancing steadfast faith with adaptable thinking, ensuring you won't miss crucial turning points simply because they don't match your expectations. This foundational perspective doesn't just enhance your preparedness strategy—it aligns with biblical principles of discernment and wisdom that serve faithful preppers in times of both stability and crisis.

In this third episode, I examine the epistemology that created a rump state of communist resistance in America. I tease out the feeder mechanism for communist and terrorist insurgency that is Antifa and its affiliated organizations both governmental and non-governmental (domestic and international). America is in a Civil War with a major political party and its blacked-shirted paramilitary arm going from cold to hot war. Prepare accordingly. Part Two at Episode 73 Part One at Episode 72.

Have you ever considered what would happen if physical preparations weren't enough? In this episode of the Christian Prepper Podcast, Todd explores the sobering reality that some catastrophes are beyond our ability to prepare for materially. Through an examination of Ezekiel 7, Todd reveals what God's judgment looked like for ancient Jerusalem and what it might mean for faithful believers living in increasingly turbulent times. This essential teaching illuminates the critical distinction between everyday preparedness and spiritual readiness for God's judgment. While our stockpiles and skills serve us well for economic downturns and natural disasters, Todd exposes the ultimate truth every Christian prepper must embrace: when God brings true judgment, our gold, silver, and supplies will not save us. As end times signs manifest around us, this episode provides crucial wisdom about aligning your preparedness mindset with biblical understanding about what's truly coming. Your spiritual preparedness is the foundation upon which all other preparation must be built. For the faithful prepper seeking to navigate these challenging times with wisdom and discernment, this episode offers indispensable guidance on preparing not just for this life, but for eternity.

Are You Protected? In the event of a self-defense shooting, it's crucial to know what to do after the shot. This video provides essential self-defense training and tips on how to handle the situation, from a tactical mindset to understanding carry law and gun law. Whether you're a concealed carry permit holder or an everyday carry practitioner, it's vital to be prepared for any situation. The United States Concealed Carry Association, or USCCA, emphasizes the importance of self-defense training and having the right mindset when carrying a firearm. Concealed carry insurance is also an important consideration for those who carry a handgun. By watching this video, you'll gain valuable insight into self defense and learn how to protect yourself and others in a life-threatening situation. With the right self defense training and knowledge of firearms training, you can feel more confident and prepared when carrying a firearm. Remember, self defense is not just about carrying a gun, it's about being aware of your surroundings and having the right tactical mindset to respond to any situation.

In this episode of Ready Your Future, Todd explores the critical skill every prepper needs to master: making water safe to drink without chemicals. Discussing an excellent article from PrepersWill.com, Todd breaks down why understanding multiple water purification methods isn't just good practice—it's essential survival knowledge. From boiling basics to DIY filtration and the power of UV sterilization, this episode delivers actionable insights for every preparedness level. What makes this episode particularly valuable is the emphasis on “stacking methods” for water safety. As Todd highlights, no single purification technique addresses all potential water contaminants, which is why smart preppers layer their approaches. Whether you're concerned about biological pathogens, chemical runoff, or sediment, you'll discover how combining filtration, heat treatment, and other methods creates the redundancy needed when facing questionable water sources. Don't miss this comprehensive guide to one of prepping's most fundamental skills.

Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and this morning we're diving into one of my favorite prepper topics: food that lasts for decades. Not the trendy freeze-dried stuff or overpriced buckets — I'm talking about the staples you can buy cheap, store easily, and forget about until you need them. These are the real long-haul preps — the ones that'll outlast your pantry, your house, and maybe even you.

In Episode 229, Dave riffs his way through numerous topics again this week. First up, several topics dealing with Congress particularly Rep Omar and and Pelosi's “retirement” plus the socialist NYC mayor-elect. From there, Dave discusses some updates on the ICE and DHS fronts before spending a fair amount of time railing about the dissenting SCOTUS opinion from Justice Jackson.

Are you noticing how our world is no longer facing isolated challenges, but rather multiple simultaneous crises that demand your attention and resources? In this Christian Prepper Podcast Truck Ride episode, Todd explores the concept of "Peak Everything" – a critical expansion of the historical "Peak Oil" theory that serious preparedness-minded must understand to navigate our increasingly complex world. This episode examines how the 1970s oil crisis and the 2008 economic downturn were merely precursors to our current reality, where we're experiencing Peak Chaos across economic, political, social, and spiritual domains simultaneously. Todd delivers profound insights on maintaining spiritual equilibrium while implementing strategic preparedness measures during these unprecedented times. For faithful preppers committed to both godly wisdom and practical readiness, understanding these converging crises is fundamental to developing a truly effective preparedness strategy. Those who recognize these patterns and implement the balanced approach discussed in this episode will position themselves among the truly prepared when these escalating situations inevitably intensify.

Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com. It's a crisp 51-degree November morning — and yes, I'm still coughing up half a gallon of crud — but the show must go on. Today's topic? One every prepper wrestles with sooner or later: When to build it yourself, and when to just buy the damn thing. There's a fine line between DIY ingenuity and wasting months of your life reinventing something that's already perfect. Let's talk about how to know the difference — and why the smartest preppers use both approaches.

In Episode 101 of The Kershner Files, Dave reviews a number current events topics that are going to have deep impacts on preparedness planning. These are impacts being felt in every state as it pertains to energy demands for data  centers. From there, he discusses updates regarding SNAP funding and the legitimacy of recipients. Also, it's election day so he points out some interesting items relating to the NYC mayoral race. Dave closes the show discussing the news and insight on the education front and at the local level.

In our latest episode “Don't Say Never! Will Your Family Have to Move In?”, Todd tackles a scenario many preppers would prefer to avoid—the possibility of family members needing to join your household during challenging times. Drawing from personal experiences and insights from Food Storage Moms' Linda Loosli, the discussion challenges the common prepper stance of “you didn't prepare, so you can't stay here” by asking a crucial question: will your spouse and children really support turning away loved ones when crisis strikes? As economic pressures mount and multi-generational living becomes increasingly common, this episode offers valuable perspective on balancing preparedness priorities with family obligations. The conversation explores practical aspects of multi-generational living, from housing arrangements and financial considerations to the importance of clear communication and established boundaries. Rather than viewing family integration as a threat to your prepper lifestyle, this episode presents strategies for creating mutually beneficial living situations that respect everyone's needs while maintaining household stability. Whether you're currently managing a multi-generational household or simply want to prepare for this possibility in an uncertain future, this episode provides essential insights for preserving both your preparedness goals and your family relationships when loved ones need your support most.

Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com. It's another chilly 41-degree morning, and today we're tackling one of the least glamorous but most practical topics in prepping — laundry. It's one of those things we all take for granted until the grid goes down and suddenly you're staring at a pile of filthy clothes wondering how to keep your hygiene in check. I've never done a full episode on laundry before, and that's a shame — because clean clothes are critical to morale, health, and long-term survival.

Are you truly prepared? In a world where spiritual vigilance is declining and physical threats are escalating, the faithful prepper understands that readiness must operate on multiple dimensions. This episode unveils the profound parallel between Christ's teachings on spiritual watchfulness and the essential preparedness mindset that safeguards your family during uncertain times. Todd explores Luke 12:35-38, revealing how Jesus' command to "be dressed in readiness and keep your lamps lit" provides the perfect biblical foundation for both spiritual and physical preparedness. The episode examines the critical distinction between passive waiting and active readiness—a fundamental principle that separates truly prepared Christians from those merely going through religious motions. As the signs of End Times intensify around us, this teaching illuminates why maintaining a constant state of readiness isn't optional for believers who take both their faith and their family's security seriously. In a world where even professing Christians are abandoning their spiritual vigilance, your commitment to readiness—both for Jesus' return and for worldly emergencies—may be the decisive factor that determines whether you face coming challenges with confidence or chaos.

Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com. It's a chilly 41-degree morning, and we're talking about something I've never dedicated a full show to — gloves. You've probably heard me mention them in passing, but today we're breaking it down: why you need them, what kinds to keep in your prepping supplies, and how the wrong glove (or no glove) can turn a simple cut into a disaster.

Most preppers focus on accumulating gear and supplies, but truly prepared individuals understand that effective preparedness is about having layers. This fundamental preparedness strategy separates novice preppers from those who've built genuinely resilient systems. The concept of preparedness layers ensures that when your primary plan fails, you have tested backup systems ready to deploy, creating multiple pathways to survival across every critical need. In this essential episode, Todd breaks down the layered preparedness methodology that transforms scattered supplies into coordinated survival systems. You'll discover how to evaluate your current preparedness through the lens of multiple layers of preparedness, identifying critical gaps that could leave you vulnerable when it matters most. This isn't theoretical prepping—it's the practical framework that separates prepared families from those who merely own preparedness gear. Todd demonstrates how this prepping layers approach applies across fire-starting, water procurement, food security, defense, and power generation, revealing why redundancy without strategy often leads to false confidence. For the faithful prepper committed to true self-reliance, understanding preparedness strategy through layered systems isn't optional—it's foundational. These are the fundamental principles that ensure your family's safety when single points of failure could mean the difference between thriving and merely surviving during extended emergencies.

Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and today we're talking about something a little fun — and a little dark. Halloween might be over by the time you hear this, but the lessons from horror movies never expire. This episode dives into some of my favorite (and not-so-favorite) horror flicks and what they can actually teach us about survival, mindset, and staying alive when things go bad.

In Episode 229, Dave riffs his way through numerous topics this week. First up is the NBA gambling sting. From there he reviews the pause on CBP Agents being sent to San Francisco and then segues into trannies fleeing the US and Young Republicans getting eviscerated by the GOP. After that, Dave continues with a review of Gen Z Republicans propping up Newsom's public image because he looks the part while denigrating J.D. Vance. Idiots. Then he spends a fair amount of time discussing the new national debt numbers and the deployment of a carrier strike group to the Caribbean. Dave closes the show discussing two articles highlighting the violent rhetoric from the left but it's the right that needs to tone things down?

Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and after a few recording hiccups, we're finally diving into one of the oldest survival skills in the book—bartering. In this episode, I break down how to make trades that actually work, why taxes make bartering awesome, and why every prepper should start practicing the art of the deal now, not after the collapse.

Ever wonder if your preparedness efforts are actually working against you? In this eye-opening truck ride episode, we dive into the surprising connection between multitasking habits and preparedness efficiency, sparked by a frustrating Starbucks experience that revealed a crucial preparedness principle. While most preppers think juggling multiple preparedness projects simultaneously makes them more productive, the reality might shock you – and it's costing you valuable time, money, and progress toward your preparedness goals. This episode explores the critical difference between harmful multitasking that derails your preparedness plans and the game-changing power of multiple-use items that every serious prepper should prioritize. You'll discover why legendary preparedness items have earned their reputation in the prepping community, and learn how multitools and multi-function gear can revolutionize your prepping strategy without breaking your budget. We'll challenge you to reimagine your existing gear through a new lens, revealing hidden multiple-use potential in items you already own while providing a practical framework for future preparedness purchases.

This episode examines American landscape one year later and whether the probability of attack is reduced or increased. My Storming America Series covers the gamut of what the spontaneous attack in the US will look like when terror cells launch a simultaneous attack on the US homeland. I cover it in Episodes 37, 41-43 and 49-50 of my Chasing Ghosts podcast. I discuss the outcome of the probable jihadist invasion of America. America is in a unique position in history in which it has facilitated the unfettered invasion of its borders and a large swath of military age males have been granted asylum or gone undetected to link up with legacy underground Islamist and terrorist groups across the country.

Every fall, I drop a “Winter Is Coming” episode, but this one hits different. After five failed recording attempts and a cursed mic, I finally got it done — and I'm diving deeper than just telling you to “buy extra blankets.” This one's about seasonal strategy, prepping for power loss, and fine-tuning your pantry before the freeze hits.

When the lights go out and society grinds to halt, what separates those who thrive from those who merely survive? The answer lies in understanding force multipliers - the strategic tools and capabilities that amplify your preparedness efforts exponentially. In this episode, Todd explores one of the most critical force multipliers every serious prepper must master: independent power generation. Drawing from real-world experience including hurricane responses, grid failures, and extended outages, this discussion reveals why power independence isn't just a convenience - it's a fundamental cornerstone of true preparedness. You'll discover the layered approach to power security that transforms your family from vulnerable to resilient, whether facing a simple power outage or a complete grid down scenario. Todd breaks down practical strategies that work across multiple threat levels, from everyday blackouts to SHTF situations, showing how the right power solutions become true force multipliers in any crisis. For Christian preppers serious about protecting their families, this episode delivers the foundational knowledge needed to build robust power independence. These aren't theoretical concepts - they're strategies that make the difference between comfort and misery when the generator becomes your lifeline and preparedness planning proves its worth.
