Survival Punk | Ep446: Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal

In Episode 446 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we take a hard look at the red tape, restrictions, and straight-up stupidity that makes basic self-reliance a legal landmine. Inspired by Joel Salatin’s legendary book Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal, this episode pulls back the curtain on how laws and regulations actively work against your ability to be healthy, free, and prepared.

Prepper Net's Prepping Academy | Prepper Camp 2025 Preview

Podcast Summary: Prepper Camp 2025 Preview with James Walton & Forrest Garvin
In this energetic episode of ⁠The Prepper Broadcasting Network⁠, host ⁠James Walton⁠ sits down with preparedness leader Forrest Garvin to deliver an insider’s look at Prepper Camp 2025, happening September 26–28, 2025, in Saluda, North Carolina. Over roughly thirty minutes, the conversation highlights why Prepper Camp has become the premier “family reunion” for America’s self-reliance community and what new skills, speakers, and experiences await attendees this year.
Garvin—founder of ⁠PrepperNet⁠ and a former airman turned Bank of America webmaster—explains how his unique journey from Y2K concerns to modern cyber-threats fuels the two classes he’ll teach on-site:
“⁠Privacy & Security: How to Disappear on the Internet⁠” – step-by-step methods to shield your address, phone number, and financial data from data-breach fallout.
“⁠The Case for Cryptocurrency⁠” – a courtroom-style defense of Bitcoin and digital assets as part of every prepper’s PACE financial plan.
The pair also previews Prepper Camp’s 60+ daily workshops, from ham radio mesh networks to hands-on fire-starting, plus evening concerts, vendor lanes stocked with freeze-dried food and survival gear, and the famous Tent City campfires where lifelong friendships form. Garvin shares memorable moments—such as late-night chats with fellow instructor Dave Wolf—and reminds listeners that 150–200 ⁠PrepperNet members⁠ typically gather for Friday-night dinners, making the event the best networking opportunity in preparedness.
Walton closes with a timely call-to-action: tickets are currently discounted at ⁠PrepperCamp.com⁠, but prices rise fast. If you want expert survival training, actionable privacy tactics, and real-world crypto insights—all in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains—mark your calendar for ⁠Prepper Camp 2025 in Saluda, NC⁠ , and secure your spot today.

Survival Punk | Ep445: Beating the Heat Before It Beats You

In Episode 445 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re tackling a killer that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: heat. Summer is here, and with it comes record-breaking temps, blackout risks, and real dangers for anyone living in a concrete jungle — or storing gear in a hot vehicle.

Survival Punk | Ep443: The Illusion of Money Scarcity: You Can Make More Than You Think

In Episode 443 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re breaking down a dangerous lie that keeps people stuck: the illusion of money scarcity. So many people — especially those who’ve struggled growing up — believe they’ll never have enough. That money is this rare, magical thing other people get, but they don’t. And that mindset? It’s the first thing keeping you broke.

Survival Punk | Ep442: Sharpening & Sewing: The Forgotten Survival Skills

In Episode 442 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re going back to basics — the kind of basics that keep your gear working and your clothes from falling apart when it really counts. Sharpening blades and sewing repairs aren’t glamorous, but they’re survival gold. You can have all the high-end tools and tactical clothing in the world, but if you can’t maintain them, you’re just waiting for failure.

The Lightning Round | Ep214: Review of the Covid Years, Autopen Investigation Heats Up, Laughing at Lefties, Save the Farm

In Episode 214, Dave starts the show discussing some inside scoop details in the medical field as it relates to Covid and the jabby jabs. From there, he has a wide ranging conversation about this auto pen business. Dave then turns his attention to the latest SCOTUS ruling and the left is predictably apoplectic. After those serious topics, he then has some fun at the expense of libs when he talks about their attempts to get into Gaza, celebrate pride month in the Middle East, and Vance joining the uber leftist propaganda app Bluesky. Dave closes the show with a feel-good story about the Trump administration stepping in and possibly saving a 175 year old family farm in New Jersey. Article Links:

Survival Punk | Ep441: Fathers Matter: The Backbone of a Strong Society

In Episode 441 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re talking about something you don’t hear much in the prepping world — but it’s at the core of everything we do: the importance of fathers. A strong father isn’t just a personal blessing. He’s a stabilizer, a teacher, and a builder of the next generation. And if we want to rebuild or survive the fall of society, we need to start by recognizing just how much fathers matter.
