In Episode 107 of The Kershner Files, Dave notes some of the more trendy idiot box headlines  before heading into the standard Survival Realty, gun shows, and conferences and convention data. He then spends the rest of the show discussing an article related to something no one wants to think about. What happens to you and yours if all of your meticulously stockpiled gear, supplies, food, etc. is lost and now you’re stuck looting and scavenging?

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. I cover it in Episodes 37, 41-43, 49-50 and 62 of my Chasing Ghosts podcast.

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?
