In Ep4, we take some time and work our way through a grid failure as a result of our heavily divided national politics and the powder keg we're all sitting on waiting for the next wave of civil unrest. We've all seen this scenario play out. Some of you may have even survived it. The Summer of Love on 2020 and the assortment of ICE protests in 2025 as the most recent examples… and it's always the same. It starts with a protest. A crowd gathers downtown — angry, loud, frustrated about one thing or another. Police form a line. Someone throws a bottle. Someone else lights a flare. There's spitting and shouting… smoke bombs, tear gas, and non-lethal measures deployed. Within minutes, the protest becomes a riot. Within hours, the riot becomes a citywide emergency. And by nightfall, the governor has activated the National Guard. But this isn't one city. It's not one issue. It's happening in dozens of places at once — each with its own spark, its own grievances, its own momentum. And as the unrest spreads, something becomes clear: This isn't a moment. It's a fracture. A sign that the political fabric of the nation is tearing — and no one knows how far the tear will go.

In Episode 108 of The Kershner Files, Dave starts the show by talking through some current event/headlines and the current spot prices for gold and silver. From there he heads into the Survival Realty and state gun show data. After all of that, Dave spends the rest of the show discussing the US nuclear target map and how various targets can put your rural location in the crosshairs.

What if the very thing that sets Christian preppers apart from everyone else isn't the gear we stockpile or the skills we develop, but the certainty of knowing where we ultimately end up? The unknown terrifies many in the preparedness community, driving endless acquisition and anxiety-fueled planning. But the Bible offers something far more grounding than any supply cache ever could. In this episode, Todd walks through one of Scripture's most powerful prophecies, tracing the promise of "God with us" from the anxious days of King Ahaz through the birth of Christ and into the eternal reality described in Revelation. Along the way, he unpacks why understanding biblical prophecy isn't just theological exercise but essential perspective for anyone serious about preparedness. When Christian preppers grasp where their story ends, it fundamentally changes how they approach every emergency, every uncertainty, and every fear that the world throws their way. If you've ever found yourself overwhelmed by all the potential scenarios you're trying to prepare for, this episode offers the recalibration your preparedness mindset may need. True readiness isn't just about surviving what comes next—it's about knowing who you belong to and where you're headed when all is said and done. Resources Get Prepper Tips in Your Email!

Today, we're shifting to another pillar of modern civilization: **the economy**. Most Americans think of the economy as something abstract — stock tickers, interest rates, inflation numbers. But the truth is simple: The economy is the system that moves food, fuel, medicine, and money. When it breaks, everything breaks. This episode is about how economic collapse happens, what it looks like on the ground, and how ordinary Americans can prepare for the shockwaves that follow.

In this shocking exposé, we delve into the disturbing trend of infiltrators spying on churches, gun clubs, and veteran organizations. These seemingly safe spaces are being targeted by individuals and groups with ulterior motives, posing a significant threat to the privacy and security of their members. From undercover operatives to cyber snoops, we'll explore the various methods being used to gather intelligence and compromise the trust of these communities. Join us as we shed light on this alarming phenomenon and discuss the implications for freedom of speech, assembly, and association. With expert insights and real-life examples, this video aims to raise awareness and prompt a call to action to protect these vital institutions from the prying eyes of infiltrators. Whether you're a devout churchgoer, a gun enthusiast, or a veteran, this video is a must-watch for anyone concerned about their rights and freedoms. If you're into preparedness, liberty, and keeping your community safe, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

As the year winds down, it's the perfect time to pause and honestly evaluate your preparedness journey. In this episode, I share three powerful reflection questions designed to help you examine what truly moved the needle in your preps this year—and what might have been little more than busy work. If you've ever felt like you're spinning your wheels or wonder if your efforts are focused on the right things, this conversation is for you as you start prepping in 2026! I also tackle a tough topic that might ruffle some feathers: the difference between preparing for probable scenarios versus fantasy-level events. The truth is, if most of your energy goes toward that one catastrophic possibility, you might be ignoring the everyday disruptions that are far more likely to affect you. Plus, I close out with a quote from Albert Einstein that perfectly captures why preparedness isn't just about you—it's about the people whose lives depend on your readiness. Listen to the episode to hear all three reflection questions and start your year with clarity. Topics Covered Why the holiday season is an ideal time for preparedness reflection The danger of settling into a rut with your preparedness efforts The current feeling that “everyone and everything seems on edge” heading into 2026 How threat assessment should evolve with experience rather than staying static The “fantasy prepping” trap and why it keeps people from building real resilience How preparing for common events (hurricanes, storms) covers most of what you actually need Reflection Questions from this Episode Looking back at the beginning of this year, what was your biggest preparedness concern, and does that same concern still top your list today or has your perspective shifted? When you think about the preparedness actions you took this year, which single step gave you the most genuine peace of mind, and which ones felt more like busywork in retrospect? What percentage of your preparedness efforts this year went toward planning for unlikely catastrophic events versus building capacity for the likely disruptions you actually face regularly?

In Episode 233, Dave laments the uptick in violence around the world by providing lengthy commentary to try and highlight the riots, protests, mass shootings, and outright murders occurring globally.

Picture this… you're in a quiet room. There's no hum, no appliances, no HVAC fans and blowers…. just…. silence. It's almost imperceptible… you've had a long day at work and just want some peace and quiet before the children get home or the spouse get s home and you almost miss it. The refrigerator stops humming. The air conditioner cuts out. Your phone won't connect. You check the breaker panel — everything looks normal. Then you step outside. Your neighbors are standing in their driveways, confused. Cars won't start. The radio is dead. The entire horizon is dark.  And yet, there have been no alerts, No explanation…. There's just… silence. And in that silence, a realization settles in: The grid is down and you know it's not going to be down for minutes or hours… but for good. ---------- Today we're starting with the backbone of modern civilization: the electrical grid.  It's the system that powers everything — water, fuel, food distribution, hospitals, communications, transportation, and the economy itself. And it's also one of the most fragile, aging, and over‑stressed systems in the United States. This episode is about how the grid can fail, why it's more vulnerable than most people realize, and what life looks like when the lights go out and don't come back on. Let's get into it.

Good morning, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and today's episode is a little different. This one isn't about gear, food buckets, or backup power. It's about something just as important for survival, especially when things feel shaky: keeping traditions alive.

Good morning, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and it's one of those cold, gray mornings where power outages feel just a little too plausible. Today's episode tackles a question a lot of people quietly stress about but don't get good answers on: how do you do real backup power when you live in an apartment or rental?

What invisible threats are you unknowingly bringing into your home, your vehicle, and your preparedness supplies every single day? For Christian preppers focused on stockpiling food, water, and gear, it's easy to overlook one of the most fundamental vulnerabilities in any survival plan—your own health. When illness strikes, every carefully laid plan becomes exponentially harder to execute, and in a true crisis scenario, medical care may be limited or unavailable entirely. In this episode, Todd draws from over two decades of personal experience to discuss the often-underestimated importance of germ awareness and practical hygiene habits for preppers. From lessons learned as a first-year teacher to navigating COVID and current flu season concerns, this conversation addresses why being careful with germs isn't paranoia—it's wisdom. You'll hear real-world examples of how simple, consistent habits can serve as your first line of defense against the kind of illness that could sideline you when your family needs you most. For those serious about preparedness, maintaining your health through intentional practices like washing your hands and staying aware of what you touch isn't optional—it's foundational. Whether flu season is in full swing or you're thinking ahead to potential grid-down scenarios where medical resources are scarce, this episode offers perspective every faithful prepper needs to consider.

In this episode of The Privacy & Freedom Podcast, Forrest Garvin pulls back the curtain on one of the most overlooked privacy vulnerabilities — your email address. That single piece of digital identity connects your banking, shopping, social media, and even government records. If your email isn't private, nothing else truly is. Forrest breaks down why your inbox is the #1 gateway for data collection, surveillance, and hacking attempts — and how to protect it. You'll learn how major tech companies use email data to build marketing profiles, how data brokers trace every online registration back to you, and why “free” email accounts come at the cost of your personal freedom. He walks you through practical solutions — from alias-based addresses and encrypted email providers to domain masking, burner accounts, and password segmentation. Forrest explains how to layer your communications using services like ProtonMail, StartMail, and SimpleLogin, and why separating your real identity from your digital one is the cornerstone of modern privacy. At Garvin Academy, Forrest teaches these same principles step-by-step inside his Privacy & Security Masterclass, where students learn to disappear from the internet, reclaim their privacy, and protect their family's information from corporate and government surveillance. Because privacy and security are freedom — and it all starts with securing your inbox.

Good morning, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and holy hell — it's cold. Like ten degrees, why do I live here cold. That makes today's episode even more fitting, because we're continuing the DIY Christmas gift series with Part 2, and this time we're getting into non-edible gifts — the stuff you can make with your hands that people actually use, appreciate, and remember.

He then spends the rest of the show discussing an article related to something no one wants to think about.

I discuss the thumbnail sketches of US military failure since the end of WWI and try to elucidate some of the reasons for the failure and the existential threat this cavalcade of calamities is to 21st century America if the ship of state doesn't reverse course. This a a dangerous time for America to continue its bad habits of wars of choice and allowing its intelligence organizations and their cutout mischief-makers to poke the bear and create black swan events out of whole cloth. America boasts a magnificent 20th century war machine not fit for purpose for 21st century peer warfare. The crossroads is chock-full of landmines.

Do you have everything in its place—your gear organized, your plans made, your supplies stocked—yet still find yourself anxious about what might come? For Christian preppers, there's a tension between doing the hard work of preparedness planning and truly resting in the sovereignty of God. This episode tackles that tension head-on, exploring what it really means to have it all locked down when the One who sits on the throne already holds everything in the palm of His hand. Todd walks through powerful scripture. This isn't about future authority; it's present reality. For those serious about preparedness, this changes everything about how we approach our prepper gear, our emergency plans, and the inevitable moments when those plans fail us. This is essential perspective for any Christian prepper who wants to be truly prepared, not just physically, but spiritually grounded in the One who has it all locked down.

Good morning, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and we're continuing the Christmas run with something that hits harder than anything you can grab off a shelf: DIY, homemade Christmas gifts.

What would you do if the power went out tonight and it was below freezing? Most people don't think about it until they're already shivering, but having a solid plan for staying warm during a winter power outage is one of the most important preps you can make. In this episode, Todd breaks down multiple heating alternatives—from backup heat sources to clever low-tech solutions—and shares personal stories from his own experiences with Winter Storm Uri. Whether you have a wood stove, a propane heater, or absolutely nothing, there's something here for you. But this episode goes beyond just heating methods. Todd discusses strategic thinking that most people overlook: which room to choose, how to maximize the heat you do have, when it's time to leave your home, and how to turn a scary situation into a training opportunity for your family. If you live anywhere that gets cold, this is an episode you can't afford to skip. [00:00] Why losing power in freezing temperatures shifts from inconvenience to life-threatening emergency—and what most people get wrong about how to stay warm and their preparedness. [02:32] The truth about propane heaters: Todd shares a surprising tip about using a fan that most Little Buddy owners never consider. [07:07] How one family survived Christmas Eve when their furnace died—using nothing but quilts, strategic room selection, and a simple door trick. [09:11] The candle experiment that shocked Todd: a group home story reveals how small flames can change room temperature faster than you'd expect. [19:13] Stranded in the cold: the incredible survival story of a father who kept his family of six alive for two days after their Jeep flipped in the Nevada wilderness. [23:36] The “pre-heat your house” strategy: a counterintuitive move that could buy you hours of comfort before the power even goes out. [28:31] The danger signs you need to recognize: Todd explains when staying home becomes more dangerous than braving the elements to find warmth elsewhere.

America's food independence is collapsing in real time — and almost nobody is talking about it. In this explosive episode of the Survival & Basic Badass Podcast, we rip the curtain off the terrifying truth: • The U.S. is now running a RECORD $49.5 BILLION food trade deficit in 2025 • We import more food than ever while domestic production craters • The average American farmer is almost 60 years old and retiring with no one to replace them • Insane labor laws, sky-high regulations, and emotion-driven bans are crushing U.S. growers… while imported food from Mexico and beyond skates by with almost zero oversight • If global shipping stops tomorrow (war, blockade, cyberattack), grocery shelves go EMPTY in days This isn't fear porn — this is math, USDA data, and cold hard reality. Whether you're a hardcore prepper, a homesteader, or just someone who likes eating, you NEED to hear this episode before it's too late. ⏰ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: The nightmare scenario nobody wants to face 03:12 – The $49.5 billion food trade deficit nobody's talking about 12:05 – Why the American farmer is going extinct (average age 58+) 25:30 – The regulatory double-standard destroying U.S. agriculture 40:15 – Labor laws & costs that make growing food here impossible 50:20 – What YOU must do RIGHT NOW to food-proof your family Stock up.

Good morning — it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and it's a crisp 40-degree December morning. Today we're kicking off Part 1 of a new holiday series: how to cook a full Christmas dinner entirely from your preps — no grocery trip required.

This CG episode got the complete audio upgrade and revision to achieve the cleanest sound ever for the podcast series effective 22 June 2025 using the new technology at Chris Williams' Podsworth. This episode examines civil war manifesting itself in the world in the west in the 21st century and some of my modest forecasts of war weather in the next few years. Dr. David Betz and others have started to float the balloons of probability and possibility of civil kinetic conflict in the West. My Storming America Series covers the gamut of what a spontaneous attack in the US will look like when terror cells launch a simultaneous attack on the US homeland which in my mind is the primary man-made vector for civil war in America.

Are you truly prepared, or have you simply collected the appearance of preparedness? It's a question every faithful prepper needs to ask themselves honestly. The difference between having gear and being ready to use that gear could mean everything when it matters most. In this truck ride episode, Todd addresses one of the most common and deceptive traps in the preparedness community—the allure of collecting. From downloading free survival books that never get read to ordering prepper gear that sits unopened in closets, many well-intentioned Christian preppers fall into a cycle of acquiring without truly preparing. Todd shares lessons learned from his own experience and explains why this pattern creates a dangerous false sense of security. Whether it's food storage you've never actually cooked with or equipment you've never tested, the gap between ownership and readiness could leave you vulnerable at the worst possible moment. This episode challenges you to examine your own preparedness habits and offers a different approach—one that transforms collecting into genuine capability. If you're serious about being truly prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead, this conversation will change how you think about every future purchase and download.

Good morning, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and — surprise, surprise — it's another 36-degree morning. Today we're continuing the Christmas prepper gift series with Part 2, diving deeper into practical gifts you can give to preppers or use to sneak-prep your non-prepper friends and family without freaking them out.

The US Air Force is at a turning point in 21st century warfare and in danger of whistling past the graveyard if they fail to take notice and action on the emerging Revolutions in Military Affairs (RMA). The era of manned combat aircraft is coming to a close. The era of manned bombers with gravity bombs is over. The era of fixed site nuclear missiles is in great peril. The era of hyper-velocity missiles whether high parabola of IRBM/ICBM or Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS) glide vehicles. If the pilot mafia doesn't do something about what is coming, the result will be cataclysmic. The Pentagon will not do the right thing, regretfully.

Good morning, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and today we're talking about something fun, useful, and extremely relevant this time of year: Christmas gifts for the preppers in your life — all under $100, all practical, all survival-ready. You walked through a solid list in your recording — from Leathermans to cheap knives to power banks — so this episode breaks down those ideas into a clean Survival Punk gift guide.

In this episode of The Privacy & Freedom Podcast, Forrest Garvin takes you deep into one of the most powerful — and misunderstood — tools for modern privacy and asset protection: the Anonymous LLC. Also known as a “Ghost LLC,” this structure allows you to legally own property, businesses, and assets without your personal name appearing on public records. Forrest explains how data brokers, trial lawyers, and even online stalkers use state business registries to track ownership, target individuals, and uncover wealth. Then he shows how Anonymous LLCs provide a legal firewall between you and your holdings — protecting your family, your finances, and your freedom. You'll learn which states offer the strongest privacy laws (like Wyoming and New Mexico), how registered agents keep your identity off public filings, and how to layer your LLCs for maximum protection. This episode also uncovers the biggest mistakes people make when setting up “anonymous” entities — from using the wrong address or email to accidentally revealing ownership through tax or payment records. Forrest walks you through how to do it the right way, step-by-step. At Garvin Academy, Forrest teaches both the Disappear on the Internet course — a complete 25-hour guide to wiping your digital footprint — and his exclusive How to Create an Anonymous LLC course, which walks you through building and managing a true privacy protected business entity. Both courses are available now at GarvinAcademy.com. Because in today's world, privacy and security are freedom — and if your name is tied to everything you own, you don't truly own anything at all. Take back control of your online privacy with Proton Mail, the world's most trusted encrypted email service. Built in Switzerland and protected by some of the world's strongest privacy laws, Proton Mail ensures your data stays yours—always.

Think you're prepared for a UK emergency? In this episode, we reveal 10 essential survival skills most adults have never learned—from purifying water and handling blackouts to basic first aid, off-grid cooking, and communicating when networks fail. Practical, simple, and surprisingly overlooked, these skills can turn a small crisis into something you can handle with confidence.

In Episode 106 of The Kershner Files, Dave quickly runs through some current events topics dealing with Epstein and the SCOTUS hearing oral arguments regarding the interpretation of the 14th Amendment. Then, Dave spends quite a fair amount of time discussing the means and methods of disappearing within nine hours of the balloon going up.

Have you ever encountered someone who uses faith as a convenient excuse to avoid the responsibilities God has actually called them to? In this episode of the Christian Prepper Podcast, Todd examines an obstacles in the faith community—the tendency among believers to twist scripture into justification for inaction. This devotional dives deep into the excuses that are used often, from "God understands my heart" to claims that a pre-tribulation rapture eliminates any need to prepare. Todd addresses these head-on with biblical clarity, reminding listeners that Jesus never promised a suffering-free existence. If you've struggled to explain preparedness to fellow believers or family members who resist the conversation, this episode equips you with scriptural foundations and practical talking points.

In the future near-peer and peer fight, salvo competition will be the preeminent means by which one country will kinetically overwhelm the other in a fight. I discuss the way the West is in an existential hazard of being woefully under-prepared to meet the threat if Western forces go toe to toe with regional hegemons in the East or West. The US is NOT prepared for the war of leakers in which the inadequate missile defense systems and strategy now deployed will be overwhelmed if it enters a war of choice with China or Russia. It isn't simply the peer competitors but the smaller players like North Korea and Yemen are demonstrating that the US and its allies can't cash the checks they boast about. Once again, the US should stand down, reassess, re-calibrate and stop thinking defense is a four letter word.

We usually prep for the first thing that goes wrong—the flood, the power outage, the supply disruption. But what about what happens after that? In this episode, I break down a concept that's been on my mind for a while: thinking through the 2nd and 3rd level effects of emergencies. This is the kind of strategic thinking that transforms how you approach your entire preparedness plan, and I walk through real-world examples to show you exactly what I mean. If you've ever felt like your preps might have gaps you haven't considered, or if you want to develop that “see around corners” instinct that helps you stay ahead of problems, this episode is for you. I share some practical frameworks you can use to audit your own preparedness and start thinking more strategically about how emergencies unfold. It's not about being scared—it's about being smart.

Have you ever considered what would happen if something happened to you and your loved ones couldn't access your phone or online accounts? For preppers, preparing for the unexpected isn't just about physical supplies—it's about ensuring your family can navigate life's challenges even in your absence. Yet many faithful preppers overlook one critical element: making sure the people they love can actually access the information they'll need when it matters most. In this truck ride episode, Todd addresses a common challenge that arose from a previous discussion on emergency access planning. Starting conversations about passwords, phone codes, and digital accounts can feel awkward, especially with adult or teenage children. This episode offers a practical approach that shifts the dynamic entirely—one that opens the door to these important discussions without putting anyone on the defensive. You'll discover how to frame the conversation in a way that feels natural and even invites your family members to think about their own preparedness without resistance. For Christian preppers committed to truly comprehensive preparedness, this kind of planning reflects good stewardship of both your resources and your relationships. The techniques shared in this episode could mean the difference between your family having immediate access to critical information or facing unnecessary obstacles during an already difficult time. Listen now and take the next step in protecting what matters most.

In a crisis, every second counts — but do you know what to do first? In this episode of the EOD Survival Podcast, we break down the Survival Rule of Three — the simple, science-backed hierarchy that can save your life: three minutes without air, three hours without shelter, three days without water, three weeks without food. Discover how to apply it to real UK and EU emergencies — from power cuts and floods to heatwaves — and learn the quick drills that turn panic into calm, decisive action. Stay ready. Stay safe. Prepare smarter. Survive stronger.

Good morning, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and it's a cold 42-degree start to the day. Today we're talking about something every man deals with, but almost nobody thinks about as a prepper: shaving — specifically why new shaving tech sucks, what actually works, and what you should use when SHTF.

Have you ever stopped to consider that your drive to prepare might not have originated with you at all? For Christian preppers, there's a profound truth hidden in Scripture that most preparedness discussions completely overlook—the reality that God Himself may be the preparedness force behind your calling to get ready. This episode takes you deep into Exodus 35 to examine the first recorded instance of someone being filled with the Spirit, and what that ancient account reveals about your own journey as a prepper. Todd explores the biblical pattern of God equipping specific individuals with skills, wisdom, and understanding to accomplish tasks He's set before them—from Bezalel crafting the tabernacle to Noah building the ark to Joseph preparing Egypt for famine. The connection to modern preparedness is unmistakable, and understanding it changes everything about how you view your role as someone who prepares. If you've ever sensed that your ability to plan, store, and prepare comes more naturally to you than to others around you, this episode offers a perspective that goes far beyond practical skills. For those who have been filled with the spirit to prepare, recognizing the source of that calling brings both purpose and responsibility. This isn't about the zombie apocalypse or dystopian scenarios—it's about faithfully stewarding the abilities God has given you to protect your household and potentially serve others when difficult times arrive.

In the future near-peer and peer fight, salvo competition and missiles will be the preeminent means by which one country will kinetically overwhelm the other in a fight. I discuss the way the US Navy is in an existential hazard of being woefully under-prepared to meet the threat if Western forces go toe toe with regional hegemons in the East or West. Let's anticipate the disasters now that are the Spanish in the English Channel in 1588, the British Royal Navy at Jutland in 1916, and the discovery in WWII all these battleships were not really capital ships, or had adequate armaments, yet their political dimensions compel not only their continuous construction but are the most devastating when lost. The aircraft carrier has been a signature component of US naval power and prestige for more than a century. The utility has continued to diminish since the end of WWII. The tremendous disadvantage of putting so much manpower and treasure into these single use leviathan systems in the modern world of distributed missile and PGM systems, emerging near-peer & peer adversaries and concentration of power in vulnerable systems is a recipe for future disaster. The US Navy surface fleet is in tatters and shattered by readiness, maintenance and armament issues that are critical indicators of a navy totally unprepared. It's time to clean house and fire the admirals and SES personnel. More on the carrier dilemma in Chasing Ghosts Episode #034 and Dispatch #006. References: Pro Publica: The Navy Accused Him of Arson.
