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.

In Episode 81 of The Kershner Files, Dave provides the usual Survival Realty and Gun Show updates before venturing into some current events. He’s specifically chosen three articles to review as a means to showcase why we shouldn’t stop or slow down our preparedness planning. Articles/topics discussed: Two Rivers Outfitter - The Premiere Online Preparedness Store DesignsbyDandTStore - Dave’s Etsy S...

In Episode 432 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re getting into one of the most underrated survival skills out there — troubleshooting. This isn’t just about fixing gear. It’s a way of thinking. A mindset. The ability to stay calm, identify the problem, and make things work — even if the solution isn’t perfect.

In Episode 212, Dave starts the show discussing the Polish election results and Ep211 commentary on the my Rumble Channel. From there, he discusses the AZ Gov veto that would have prohibited CCP land ownership and the continued on-going law fare against the Trumpster. The latest case being kicked to SCOTUS pertains to the dismantling of the US Dept of Ed. Dave closes the show with some comments on...

In Episode 431 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re cracking open the lid on one of the most versatile tools in off-grid cooking: the Dutch oven. Rugged, reliable, and ridiculously useful, this heavy chunk of cast iron can feed you like royalty long after the microwave is dead and gone.

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.

In Episode 211, Dave starts the show discussing the ramifications of the Romanian, Polish, and the future Hungary election. 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...

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 sk...

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 close...

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 surviv...

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 epi...

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. Whether it’s a food shortage, a botched resupply, or you're deep into bug-out territory, knowing how to stretch calories and keep going isn’t just useful — it could save your life.
