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 communica...

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 ah...

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. Artic...

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 happ...

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 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.

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 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 h...

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 c...

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 r...

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.

We look at them all. If you want to be the person who learns from others' mistakes, get out a pen and paper to take notes now, so you don't mess it up when others did Jo...
