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. 🎧 Listen now — and make the Rule of Three your survival instinct.
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.

In this episode of The Privacy & Freedom Podcast, Forrest Garvin exposes a truth most people never consider — your car is one of the most powerful surveillance devices you own. From built-in GPS trackers and microphones to data-sharing apps and telematics, modern vehicles quietly collect your movements, contacts, driving habits, and even conversations. Forrest breaks down how automakers, insurers, and tech partners harvest massive amounts of personal data every time you start the engine. He explains how this information is sold, traded, and stored — creating a complete digital dossier of your life behind the wheel. Most drivers have no idea their car knows where they sleep, work, and worship… and who’s in the passenger seat. You’ll also discover practical steps to reduce exposure — from disabling unnecessary connections and removing old paired phones, to deleting stored navigation data and limiting app permissions. Forrest introduces Privacy4Cars, a powerful tool designed to help you erase personal information from your vehicle before it’s sold, rented, or serviced.

In Episode 231, Dave records a lengthier episode early for the holiday weekend and starts the show discussing the presence of ICE in Charlotte resulting in 20% of the student population not showing up. From there, he reviews the latest in a long line of corruption in the Democratic Party. First up is a Dem Rep stealing $5M in FEMA funds followed by an Arizona Dem stealing $63M in Covid funds. Dave returns to Congress because it seems Hakeem Jeffries (aka the Brooklyn Barack Obama) was soliciting donations from Epstein and MTG may have ties to George Soros and other previously undisclosed issues with being in Congress. The toxic politic topics continues with Killary and her latest comments regarding a nationwide announcement that Trump had been unalived which forces Dave to have a little thought experiment regarding a possible trigger for CW2. Speaking of possible triggers, Dave takes some time to discuss the Seditious Six and their little video. After that, there is a discussion of the nation’s financial sector, a possible rate cut in December, and new IRS tax code thresholds. Also, it seems we’re going to have a resurgent GOP once Trump is out of office because the Bush family is planning to retake the party back. After all of that domestic news, Dave closes the show by reviewing a video of an American citizen being detained at the airport in England and charged with terrorism because he ridiculed Islam and Elon Musk add a new feature to ‘X’ that exposes account locations.
