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 happens next.

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 215, Dave starts the show discussing Trump’s repeated SCOTUS wins before turning his attention to a peace deal in Congo, the US economy, tariff’s, and a potential Fed rate cut in September. After all of that, Dave circles back and discusses the SCOTUS ruling allowing South Carolina to prohibit Medicaid money for Planned Parenthood. Dave closes the show with a round up of news and current events related to the pushback on mass unchecked migration in the UK, Northern Ireland, many EU countries, Australia, and the US.

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.

Podcast Summary: Prepper Camp 2025 Preview with James Walton & Forrest Garvin
In this energetic episode of ⁠The Prepper Broadcasting Network⁠, host ⁠James Walton⁠ sits down with preparedness leader Forrest Garvin to deliver an insider’s look at Prepper Camp 2025, happening September 26–28, 2025, in Saluda, North Carolina. Over roughly thirty minutes, the conversation highlights why Prepper Camp has become the premier “family reunion” for America’s self-reliance community and what new skills, speakers, and experiences await attendees this year.
Garvin—founder of ⁠PrepperNet⁠ and a former airman turned Bank of America webmaster—explains how his unique journey from Y2K concerns to modern cyber-threats fuels the two classes he’ll teach on-site:
“⁠Privacy & Security: How to Disappear on the Internet⁠” – step-by-step methods to shield your address, phone number, and financial data from data-breach fallout.
“⁠The Case for Cryptocurrency⁠” – a courtroom-style defense of Bitcoin and digital assets as part of every prepper’s PACE financial plan.
The pair also previews Prepper Camp’s 60+ daily workshops, from ham radio mesh networks to hands-on fire-starting, plus evening concerts, vendor lanes stocked with freeze-dried food and survival gear, and the famous Tent City campfires where lifelong friendships form. Garvin shares memorable moments—such as late-night chats with fellow instructor Dave Wolf—and reminds listeners that 150–200 ⁠PrepperNet members⁠ typically gather for Friday-night dinners, making the event the best networking opportunity in preparedness.
Walton closes with a timely call-to-action: tickets are currently discounted at ⁠PrepperCamp.com⁠, but prices rise fast. If you want expert survival training, actionable privacy tactics, and real-world crypto insights—all in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains—mark your calendar for ⁠Prepper Camp 2025 in Saluda, NC⁠ , and secure your spot today.

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.
