Survival Punk | Ep278: Thoughts on Homeschooling

In our latest podcast episode, we’re exploring why more families are considering homeschooling as an alternative to public school. Concerns about violence, curriculum quality, and the need for individualized learning are just a few reasons homeschooling is growing in popularity. Let’s dive into some key points on why homeschooling might be the right choice for your family and how to make it a fulfilling experience for your child.
Why Public School May Not Be the Best Option
Increasing concerns over safety and curriculum issues have led many parents to explore homeschooling. Reports of violence, bullying, and even a lack of supportive resources are affecting students’ ability to focus and learn. On top of that, many feel that the public school curriculum often misses the mark on important life skills, critical thinking, or even foundational subjects. Homeschooling allows parents to directly influence what their children are learning, tailoring the curriculum to meet their child’s needs.
Exploring Homeschooling Options
If you’re considering homeschooling, there are several options to explore. Online school programs can offer a structured, accredited education from the comfort of home, providing materials and lesson plans that help parents guide their children’s learning. Many families also design their own curriculum, mixing educational resources that suit their child’s strengths and interests. For those looking for flexibility, combining online programs with parent-led instruction can provide a balanced approach.
Building Social Connections
One common concern about homeschooling is the potential for isolation, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Homeschool co-ops and groups are a fantastic way for children to build friendships, practice teamwork, and participate in group activities. Co-ops often offer group classes, sports, and even field trips, allowing homeschooled kids to experience social interaction and develop essential skills alongside peers.
For more insights, join us in this episode as we break down the benefits, options, and tips for a rewarding homeschooling experience!

The Kershner Files | Ep55: Election Review and Ramifications and Hiding Essentials from the Government

Somewhere in the middle of all that reverie he manages to still provide the standard updates for PMs, Survival Realty, and state specific gun shows. After all that election talk Dave closes the show by reviewing an article regarding the concealment of gear and supplies so they aren’t confiscated. Articles/topics discussed:

Survival Punk | Ep257: 5 Nonfiction Survival Books

Join me today as I discuss 5 Nonfiction Survival books to check out. I give a definitive one for some of the books; others are a category you need to fill.
When it comes to a straight Survival Book I don’t have an end-all-be-all pick. To be honest it doesn’t even matter which one you buy and you will most likely get more than one anyway. I talk about a few of my favorites. Cody Lunden’s books, Emergency by Neil Strauss, and a few others. All old books can probably be found in a used bookstore. 
My number one most recommended nonfiction survival books is Back to Basics. This one book has so much information in it. If you wanted one book to rebuild society after a collapse I would recommend this one. It has everything you need from building a house to farming to canning and much more. 
I talk about the great wild edibles book The Foragers Harvest by Samuel Thayer. This is an absolute must-have in my opinion. 
Next is The Survival Medicine Handbook: The Essential Guide for When Help is NOT on the Way by Doc Bones and Nurse Amy. If you’re going to have only one medical book this should be it.

Dave Kershner Lightning Round | Ep192: Garbage, Iranian Moles, ABC Results, CO Passwords, ActBlue, Honey Pots, and Rocket Man

In Episode 192, the last show before the fate, destiny, and direction of our country is decided in the next election, Dave discusses a variety of topics starting with a brief comment on the ‘garbage’ gaffe from the potato. From there, he reviews the ‘alleged’ Iranian dissident dishing info to her former country. That subject eventually devolves into a discussion on the VP and a former Bill Clinton advisor prediction of a Trump Electoral College landslide victory. Dave circles back to trash talking the cacklin’ one before turning his attention to ABC News displaying election results in the screen crawl during a live broadcast, GA experiencing a decrease in overseas ballot requests, passwords exposed in CO, and ActBlue and their international money laundering election interference. After all of that, there’s still more to discuss in the form of Comey’s off book ‘honey pot’ scheme and Rocket Man test firing ballistic missiles again. Articles discussed:
The Curious Case of Ariane Tabatabai by Jay Solomon from The Free Press
Ex-Clinton adviser predicts Trump landslide: 'Absolute wipeout' by Candace Hathaway from Blaze Media
