Contra Radio Network

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.

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.

The globalists already took Romania off the board and now they're trying to do it again in Poland this weekend. Orban and Hungary are in their sights in 2026. From there, he discusses $66M worth of fraud being perpetrated at the USDA. Dave closes the show discussing a Project Veritas video and the left's continued lawfare.

BARBARIAN TALK RADIO FROM THE CALIFORNIA COAST TONIGHT!! BROADCASTING FROM A SECRET COAST LOCATION ABOUT OUR WORLD AND BEYOND IN TIME AND SPACE...

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.

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.

In Episode 79 of The Kershner Files, Dave starts the show by discussing an email he received from Ammo Squared regarding future potential ammo shortages. After that, he provides the usual updates for PMs, Survival Realty, and Gun Shows. From there, Dave showcases the Everyday Carry collection from the tworiversoutfitter.com website and the carrying capacity of one-strap vs two-strap bags. He closes the show by talking about the garden plot and the implementation of electroculture this year.

In our last live episode (Episode 342), we read Patreons' comments about what Prepping 2.0 has meant to them - and describe what it's meant to us. But have no fear: rebroadcasts of Prepping 2.0 will continue. Thanks for an amazing ride. We'll never forget how wonderful it was talking with you every week.

In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're talking about something most people don't think twice about—light—until it's gone. When the grid fails, darkness creeps in fast. And it's not just inconvenient. It's dangerous. From navigating your space safely to avoiding accidents, staying productive, and even protecting your mental health, reliable lighting is one of the most overlooked survival essentials.

In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're getting uncomfortable — on purpose. Because comfort breeds softness, and softness breaks fast under pressure. Real prepping isn't just about storing food or packing bags. It's about mental resilience — the ability to keep going when everything sucks. And you don't get that by staying cozy.

This episode will show everyone, that no matter how well you think you plan, things can and will go sideways.  I decided to leave the episode as recorded so we can all see just how messed up things can get.     Welcome to another captivating episode of The Steadfast Code, where host John Jeffers dives into spirited discussions on masculinity, tradition, and patriotism. Joined by guest Tim, the episode kicks off with candid critiques on tech giants and shifts to deeper dialogues on leadership and conservative values. The conversation takes an intriguing turn with a special segment rating Elon Musk on his manliness and patriotism, sparking debate and engagement among listeners and guests alike. As Gen Z navigates evolving identities, this episode highlights their growing conservative lean, affinity for trades, and industry discussions, including insights into the state of education and its impact on new generations. Talk time with Tina debuts in this episode.  She will give her unfiltered version and opinions.   The episode wraps up with engaging personal anecdotes, offering a platform for opinions and unique perspectives on modern issues. Join the conversation and help shape the future with grit, integrity, and unwavering resolve.

In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we take a hard look at a grim but realistic scenario: surviving on just 1,000 calories a day.

In Episode 341, we listen to some of the touching thoughts from past guests as we transition from the weekly show to the live show. Learn more about our podcast at Prepping 2-0.com

In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're going back to basics — and that's a good thing. Whether you're building your first bug-out bag or refining your tenth, the 10 Cs of survival are your foundation. Made popular by survival expert Dave Canterbury, the 10 Cs are ten categories of gear that cover everything you truly need — without the fluff or fantasy.

In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're tackling a realistic but often overlooked scenario — what if the world falls apart while you're at work? Most people spend 8+ hours a day away from home. If something goes down — power grid failure, civil unrest, major natural disaster — you might be miles from your gear, your family, and your safety plan.

In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're firing up the topic of outdoor cooking — not just for fun, but for real-world preparedness. Whether you're trying to beat the summer heat, deal with a blackout, or sharpen your SHTF cooking skills, learning to cook outside is one of the most practical and underrated prepper skills out there.

In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're tackling something that doesn't come in a Mylar bag or ammo can: your mindset. Prepping is supposed to make you feel more in control, not more afraid. But too many people spiral into doomscrolling, panic-buying, or feeling hopeless.

In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're diving into the world of black and grey market prepping — because when systems fail, the rules change fast. Whether you're bartering in a post-collapse economy or just trying to make ends meet now, understanding how to operate outside the official system can be the edge that keeps you alive.

In Episode 340, we announce a transition in the show from live, weekly episodes to rebroadcasts. Listen for all the details. Learn more about our podcast at Prepping 2-0.com

In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're diving into the world of sauces — because flavor is morale, and morale is survival. Whether you're living off rice and beans or stretching shelf-stable staples, the right sauce can turn bland into badass. From classic pan sauces to time-tested “mother sauces,” this episode is all about making survival food actually taste good.

In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we step into the eerie calm of a post-collapse world — where empty buildings, forgotten homes, and quiet streets may hold everything you need to survive. But scavenging isn't looting. It's not dumb luck or a free-for-all. It's a skill. And doing it wrong can get you injured, arrested, or dead.

Welcome to the final episode of The Jeffers Brief, a captivating journey hosted by John Jeffers on the Contra Radio Network.

In this episode, John addresses the current political climate, discussing figures like Bill Maher and exploring controversial themes. He shares insights into the decline of the democratic agenda and poses critical questions about America's future. Moving forward, John announces a new venture: The Steadfast Code. This new series aims to mentor and guide the emerging generation of conservative thinkers, offering a platform for discussion and learning.

In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're talking prepper clothing — not tactical cosplay, but real-world clothes that keep you alive, mobile, and ready for anything. The best part? You don't have to spend a fortune. From thrift stores to yard sales, we cover how to find quality gear dirt cheap — and how to store it so it's ready when you need it. Why Clothing Matters in Preparedness When the grid goes down, your clothes become your shelter, your protection, and your armor. But most folks are unprepared — they have a closet full of cotton and nothing fit for cold, wet, or rugged conditions. Prepping your wardrobe is about: Layering smart for all seasons Durability that can handle rough use Neutral colors for blending in Comfort and function over fashion

In Episode 77 of The Kershner Files, Dave provides updates for PMs, Survival Realty, and Gun Shows.

In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we tackle one of the most overlooked areas in preparedness — your health. You can have all the gear in the world, but if your body breaks down or you rely on a system that's collapsing, you're in trouble. This episode is about taking your health into your own hands — from getting in shape to prepping meds and treating minor issues without waiting on a doctor.

In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we ride the rails back in time to explore the forgotten survival system of the American hobo. During the Great Depression, hobos were more than just drifters — they were tactical survivors who developed a network of symbols, signals, and strategies to navigate a collapsing society.

The Warning Wrapped in Fiction Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged used to be considered dystopian fiction. Now, for many of us watching the modern world unravel, it feels more like a prophetic blueprint. In this episode, we dive into the eerie parallels between Rand's vision of a crumbling society—and the slow collapse playing out around us today. The Rise of Incompetence In Atlas Shrugged, skilled workers, engineers, and innovators walk away as bureaucrats and paper-pushers take control. Sound familiar? Today, government agencies balloon with red tape while infrastructure, like trains, power grids, and bridges, worsens yearly. Expertise is ignored. Bureaucracy is rewarded. And the people who still know how to do things are being sidelined. Demonizing the Productive Rand warned about the demonization of success. Look around: entrepreneurship is labeled “privilege,” working too hard is “toxic,” and profit is a dirty word. In the novel, those who produced were taxed and regulated into silence. In real life, we see a culture that punishes competence and celebrates mediocrity. This isn't theory—it's happening now. Blackouts, Shortages, and Stalled Supply Chains In the book, trains stop running. Entire cities lose power. Goods vanish from shelves. It's no longer far-fetched. Between supply chain collapses, energy instability, and labor strikes, we're seeing real-world echoes of Rand's fictional breakdown. Factories closing. Supermarkets thin on essentials. Delivery delays are stretching from days to months. Who Is John Galt? In Atlas Shrugged, the productive minority goes into hiding, refusing to support a system that punishes effort. In our world, many are quitting high-stress jobs, moving off-grid, or finding ways to live with less government and more independence. That's where preppers shine—we've been preparing for this shift all along. Lessons for Preppers Don't count on the system. It's already showing cracks. Reward competence—in yourself and in your community. Value production over appearances. Skill beats status every time. Build your parallel systems—food, power, comms, security. Be ready to walk away from broken structures before they fall on you. Final Thought Whether or not you agree with Ayn Rand's philosophy, one thing's clear: Atlas Shrugged isn't just a book anymore. It's a warning. And it's being played out in slow motion. Preppers aren't shocked—we've seen it coming. But now it's time to act like we mean it. Because when the world shrugs… you'd better be standing.

In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're talking about something that can happen to anyone — getting lost. Whether you're deep in the woods, on a backroad adventure, or even exploring a new city, getting turned around can go from frustrating to deadly fast. But with a little preparation and the right mindset, you can avoid getting lost — and know what to do if it happens.

In Episode 209, Dave starts the show with a discussion about the power outage in Spain, Portugal, and France. This sparks an unsolicited plug and reference to the tworiversoutfitter.com website, specifically the ‘Batteries & Solar' and the ‘Communications' collections. That entire discussion brings out the tin foil hat and a winding discussion about the nefarious activities of the WEF and IMF. After all that fun, Dave carries on with a conversation about the polygraphs being utilized (finally) at the FBI and the latest Trump announcement. Dave closes the show discussing the Canadian election results and the tin foil hat comes back out for an encore performance.

In the prepping world, we love our gear. We train. We stockpile. We have bug-out bags packed like puzzle boxes and caches hidden in the woods. But when the storm hits, the grid goes down, or your plan gets blindsided by reality, there's only one skill that always matters:

The Warning Signs Are Everywhere Empty shelves used to be rare. Now they're just part of the background noise. Delays, shortages, and “out of stock” notices are no longer the exception—they're the new normal. In Episode 404, we're talking about what's breaking down globally, what it means for you, and what you should be buying and stockpiling right now before it gets even worse.

In Episode 76 of The Kershner Files, Dave provides updates for PMs, Survival Realty, and Gun Shows. After all of that, we go on a winding journey through several topics related to spring projects before Dave closes the show with the serious topic of some impossible, often heartbreaking, decisions we're all going to have to make.  Articles/topics discussed: Two Rivers Outfitter - The Premiere Online Preparedness Store DesignsbyDandTStore - Dave's Etsy Shop for fun clothing options Spot Prices for Gold (Au) and Silver (Ag) - from the davidjkershner.com website Survival Realty - featured properties and new listings State-by-State Gun Shows - from the davidjkershner.com website How to Install a Rainwater Collection System by Steve Nubie from Aska a Prepper How To Protect Your Food Storage From Insects by Michael B from Self-Sufficient Projects Impossible SHTF Choices You Will Have To Make by Fergus Mason from Ask a Prepper Support Dave by visiting his new website at Two Rivers Outfitter for all of your preparedness needs and you can also visit his Etsy shop at DesignsbyDandTStore for fun clothing options.

In prepping circles, the idea of bugging out has almost become a religion. There's something exciting about the thought of grabbing your bag, disappearing into the woods, and living off the land while society burns. But here's the hard truth: bugging out is your worst option most of the time. In Episode 403, we're breaking down why bugging in—staying home, defending your turf, and riding out the storm—is usually the smarter, safer, and more realistic play for survival.

Patrick takes the Prepping Academy helm once again with a new episode of Grid Down Comms Up. In breaking world news massive power outages in in Spain impact communications infrastructure sending some residents looking for portable radios to receive information. This episode looks at commercially available information sources that have been hardened by FEMA to survive disasters, EMP's and national blackouts too. Do you know where to turn to if internet and cell service stops? What information should you have available before the grid goes down?
