Hey, it’s James from SurvivalPunk.com — and today we’re tackling something real scary: what happens when the system that feeds millions grinds to a halt.

Hey, it’s James from SurvivalPunk.com, and after a few recording hiccups, we’re finally diving into one of the oldest survival skills in the book—bartering. In this episode, I break down how to make trades that actually work, why taxes make bartering awesome, and why every prepper should start practicing the art of the deal now, not after the collapse.

Ever wonder if your preparedness efforts are actually working against you?
In this eye-opening truck ride episode, we dive into the surprising connection between multitasking habits and preparedness efficiency, sparked by a frustrating Starbucks experience that revealed a crucial preparedness principle.
While most preppers think juggling multiple preparedness projects simultaneously makes them more productive, the reality might shock you – and it's costing you valuable time, money, and progress toward your preparedness goals.
This episode explores the critical difference between harmful multitasking that derails your preparedness plans and the game-changing power of multiple-use items that every serious prepper should prioritize. You'll discover why legendary preparedness items have earned their reputation in the prepping community, and learn how multitools and multi-function gear can revolutionize your prepping strategy without breaking your budget.
We'll challenge you to reimagine your existing gear through a new lens, revealing hidden multiple-use potential in items you already own while providing a practical framework for future preparedness purchases.
