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.

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.

Have you ever encountered someone who uses faith as a convenient excuse to avoid the responsibilities God has actually called them to? In this episode of the Christian Prepper Podcast, Todd examines an obstacles in the faith community—the tendency among believers to twist scripture into justification for inaction.
This devotional dives deep into the excuses that are used often, from "God understands my heart" to claims that a pre-tribulation rapture eliminates any need to prepare. Todd addresses these head-on with biblical clarity, reminding listeners that Jesus never promised a suffering-free existence.
If you've struggled to explain preparedness to fellow believers or family members who resist the conversation, this episode equips you with scriptural foundations and practical talking points.
