Survival Punk | Ep318: Unexpected Prepping Items You Need in Your Kit

Unexpected Prepping Items You Need in Your Kit | episode  318
When you think of prepping, canned goods, water filters, and first aid kits probably come to mind. But what about zip ties and baking soda? Sometimes the most overlooked items can be the most valuable in an emergency. Here’s a list of unexpected preps that deserve a spot in your survival stash.
Zip Ties
These little plastic wonders are incredibly versatile. From securing gear and fixing broken zippers to making temporary handcuffs or splints, zip ties are a must-have. Keep a variety of sizes in your pack – you’ll thank yourself later.
Baking Soda
Baking soda isn’t just for baking. It’s a powerhouse for cleaning, deodorizing, and even putting out small grease fires. You can also use it to brush your teeth or soothe bug bites. One box can go a long way in a pinch.
Super Glue
Need to seal a small cut or repair broken gear? Super glue can save the day. It bonds quickly and works on everything from fabric to metal. It’s like having a portable fix-it kit in your pocket.
Paper Clips
These tiny office supplies can be used to pick locks, fix zippers, or hold things together temporarily. They’re lightweight and take up virtually no space in your pack.
Hard Candies
Not only do they boost morale, but hard candies provide quick energy and soothe sore throats. They can also be a great bartering item if things ever get rough.
Condoms
Surprisingly, condoms can store water, act as slingshot bands, or keep items waterproof. Plus, they’re compact and durable.
Old Credit Cards/Gift Cards
Cut them into tools, use them to scrape frost, or even shim a door lock. Don’t toss them – repurpose them.
Binder Clips
Great for organizing gear, sealing food bags, and even making quick repairs to clothing.
Fly Sticky Window Cling
Insects can be a huge nuisance in survival situations. A fly trap helps keep your space bug-free.
Add these items to your kit and be prepared for the unexpected!

Survival Punk | Ep316: Kickstart 2025: Essential Prepper Goals for the New Year

Kickstart 2025: Essential Prepper Goals for the New Year | episode 316
Inventory Check
Before diving into new projects, take stock of what you already have. Go through your food storage, medical supplies, and gear. Check expiration dates, identify gaps, and ensure your emergency kits are fully stocked. An annual inventory review helps prevent waste and guarantees you’re not left scrambling in a crisis.
Plan Your Garden
A self-sufficient food source is invaluable. Start planning your 2025 garden now. Research crops suited for your climate, map out planting schedules, and order seeds early. Even small urban gardens can yield a surprising amount of food. Consider adding medicinal herbs and perennial plants that will provide long-term benefits.
Learn One New Skill a Month
Survival skills are perishable – if you don’t use them, you lose them. Make it a goal to learn or refine one new skill every month. Whether it’s basic first aid, canning, woodworking, or foraging, continuous learning enhances self-reliance. Enroll in workshops, watch online tutorials, and practice regularly.
Make a Budget and Stick with It
Prepping can get expensive if you’re not careful. Establish a realistic budget that prioritizes essential purchases and training. Break larger projects into manageable steps to avoid burnout or financial strain. By staying disciplined, you’ll steadily build your resources without sacrificing financial stability.
This year, stay organized, keep learning, and grow stronger in your preparedness journey. Tune into the podcast for a deeper dive into these goals and practical tips to help you thrive in 2025!

Survival Punk | Ep313: Lost Jobs of the Past and How to Stay Ahead

The Forgotten ProfessionsIn the dim streets of Victorian London, lamplighters once roamed, bringing light to the night by igniting street lamps one by one. Switchboard operators connected voices across cities, and milkmen left bottles on doorsteps before the sun rose. These jobs, once essential, have faded into history. Technology and societal shifts often render roles obsolete. But with every lost job, new ones rise to take their place.
The Future of Work and AI DisruptionToday, a new wave of change is upon us. Artificial Intelligence is not just a buzzword but a transformative force across industries. From manufacturing lines to data analysis, AI is replacing repetitive tasks and even stepping into creative fields. But does this spell doom for the workforce? Not necessarily.
Who Moved My Cheese?Spencer Johnson’s book Who Moved My Cheese? explores how individuals react to change. The core lesson: those who embrace transformation, adapt, and seek new opportunities thrive. This same mindset applies to the evolving job landscape. Jobs may disappear, but by staying curious and flexible, new paths can open.
Emerging Careers in AIAI is not just a job-taker but a job-creator. Fields like AI ethics, prompt engineering, and machine learning operations are emerging rapidly. Creative professionals are using AI tools to enhance productivity, and entirely new sectors like virtual world design are gaining traction. The key to thriving? Learn to work with AI, not against it.
Staying Ahead
Learn Continuously: Online courses, podcasts, and workshops can keep your skills fresh.
Embrace Technology: Experiment with AI tools relevant to your field.
Network: Surround yourself with forward-thinkers and innovators.
The future isn’t about the jobs that are lost, but the ones we create by adapting to new realities. In every shift, there is opportunity—if we’re willing to chase it.
