Prepping

Episode 500 feels like a milestone—and it’s the perfect time to share the story of what built the Survival Punk philosophy.

For decades, the global economy has run on razor-thin margins. Factories don’t store parts, stores don’t store food, and warehouses only keep enough on hand to keep costs low. It’s called just-in-time delivery—and it works great until something breaks. When one link in the chain fails, the whole thing collapses faster than most people realize.

The Prepping Academy welcomes Forrest Garvin, founder of PrepperNet, Garvin Academy, and other entrepreneurial ventures that are countable. In today's episode, Forrest updates us on what he has been up to over the last year.  We also discuss the current happenings in  PrepperNet, where PrepperNet is heading in the future, and a general update on the status of Prepping 2025.

It’s comfort, it’s morale, and for a lot of us, it’s the fuel that keeps us moving. That’s why coffee deserves its own episode of the Survival Punk Podcast.

Money gets tight, imports dry up, and new products get scarce. That’s when one of the most valuable skills kicks in: repair and reuse.
