Before getting to the gun shows though, he pauses the Survival Realty update to provide some specificity regarding his comments on Dem migration out of blue state hell holes. That really fouled his mood but good. After all of the updates and the mini rant, Dave takes a look at Biden’s authorization to use long range missiles by Ukraine against Russia.

Survival Punk | Ep284: Don't Let Yourself Go To The Crazy Place

In the world of prepping, it’s easy to slide from being prepared to feeling paranoid. Prepping has an important purpose: to ensure we’re ready to face unexpected events. But sometimes, in the quest to be ready for anything, it’s possible to lose perspective. In this podcast, we’ll discuss how to stay grounded and avoid the “crazy place” while prepping.
Keep Paranoia in Check
Prepping often means staying informed about possible risks, from natural disasters to economic downturns. However, too much focus on worst-case scenarios can lead to paranoia. Instead, view prepping as a tool to enhance your life, not something driven by fear. Remember that many potential crises are rare, and balancing awareness with realistic expectations will help you prepare without unnecessary anxiety.
Stay Positive and Balanced
Mindset is crucial. When prepping starts to feel overwhelming, step back and remember why you started. The goal isn’t to live in fear but to be secure and confident in your preparations. Make positivity part of your routine by practicing gratitude and appreciating the security your efforts bring. Keeping your spirit positive will help you stay motivated and less stressed.
Watch Less News
Constant news can amplify feelings of dread, especially if it focuses on negative stories. Try limiting your news intake to just once a day or a few times a week to avoid becoming overwhelmed. Balance factual information with time to relax and enjoy other activities. This approach will help you stay informed without feeling alarmed by every headline.
Connect Socially
It’s easy to become isolated when prepping, but staying social is important. Engage with friends, family, or prepper communities that support positive, balanced perspectives. Social interactions can provide fresh insights and help you stay grounded. In the end, prepping should help you live confidently—not consume your life.

Survival Punk | Ep275: Dealing with Predatory Preppers

In the latest podcast episode, we tackle a crucial issue for those in the preparedness community: dealing with “predatory preppers.” These individuals don’t stockpile or plan to sustain themselves long-term; instead, they prepare with the intention of taking from others. Here’s how to recognize them and tips on protecting yourself.
What is a Predatory Prepper?
To start, let’s define the term. A “predatory prepper” is someone who invests time and energy into skills or resources primarily aimed at taking supplies from other people in a crisis. Instead of stockpiling food, water, or essentials, they might build up weaponry and tactical knowledge, intending to exploit those who are better prepared. Because they focus on what others have rather than what they need themselves, they’re often unprepared for long-term survival without their “targets.”
Recognizing and Defending Against Them
In many cases, these individuals tend to be less disciplined or resourceful. However, they don’t want to put in the hard work of actual prepping and are often complacent, hoping to take an easier route by exploiting others. Thus, one major advantage for well-prepared individuals is that predatory preppers are often not well-equipped to launch sustained attacks. Furthermore, basic defensive measures like secure locks, alarms, and even visible deterrents can make them think twice.
The Importance of a 24-Hour Guard Duty
In times of crisis, maintaining security becomes essential. A 24-hour watch rotation is a practical way to ensure someone is always on the lookout, which can discourage predatory behavior. Having trusted individuals assigned to a rotating guard duty not only provides protection but also adds peace of mind. You can effectively deter those with predatory intentions by staying vigilant and organized.
Consequently, understanding how to identify and defend against predatory preppers can be a valuable part of your survival plan. Listen to the episode to learn more about protecting yourself and your resources!

Survival Punk | Ep272: Survival Guns 101

In our latest podcast episode, we cover an important topic for anyone serious about preparedness: the four types of guns every survivalist should consider owning. Whether you’re planning for self-defense, hunting, or general survival scenarios, having the right firearms can make a significant difference. We break down the essentials, discussing the benefits and uses of each type of gun and why they’re crucial for any survival plan.
Handgun
 A reliable handgun is essential for personal protection. It’s portable, easy to conceal, and can be quickly accessed in emergency situations. We recommend choosing a handgun that you’re comfortable shooting and carrying, with sufficient stopping power for self-defense. Popular calibers include 9mm and .45 ACP, as they strike a good balance between power and manageable recoil. In the podcast, we discuss the pros and cons of various models and how to choose one that suits your needs.
.22 Long Rifle
 The .22 long rifle is an incredibly versatile firearm, perfect for small game hunting and even target practice. It’s lightweight, has minimal recoil, and the ammunition is affordable and easy to stockpile. A .22 can help you hunt small animals for food, making it a valuable tool in any survival scenario. We share tips on finding a reliable .22 rifle and why it’s a must-have for both beginners and seasoned survivalists.
Shotgun (Preferably 12 Gauge)
 The shotgun is one of the most versatile firearms you can own. Futhermore, a 12-gauge shotgun can be used for home defense, hunting birds, and even larger game with the right type of ammunition. We suggest opting for a pump-action model, as it’s reliable and easy to maintain.
Defense Rifle
 A defense rifle, like an AR-15 or AK-47, is an essential tool for protecting yourself and your family in a serious survival situation. These rifles are effective for both defense and hunting larger game, offering accuracy, range, and power. The AR-15 is known for its modularity, allowing users to customize and modify it to their preference, while the AK-47 is renowned for its durability and simplicity. We dive into the strengths of each, helping you decide which is better suited for your needs.
Tune in to this episode to get a detailed breakdown of these four essential survival guns, their uses, and tips on selecting the right models. With the right knowledge and tools, you can build a well-rounded survival arsenal that prepares you for whatever may come.
