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.

Join John Jeffers on the latest episode of The Jeffers Brief, exclusive to Contra Radio Network, as he delves into essential prepping tools and insightful political analysis. John kicks off the episode by highlighting the importance of having a jump starter in your prepper supply cache, featuring the Loki Thor J400 jump starter from L2 Survive. He underscores its practicality and urges preppers to check out the demonstration video on YouTube.
Transitioning into the political sphere, John discusses recent psyops and media narratives surrounding President Trump, urging listeners to stay vigilant against misleading stories.

As the episode progresses, John touches on the current political climate, election integrity issues, and the role of media bias. He analyzes recent events in Georgia and Pennsylvania, where election processes have come under scrutiny, and comments on the implications for the upcoming elections.
Finally, John wraps up with a call to action for listeners to engage actively in the political process and make their voices heard at the polls. Tune in for a blend of practical prepping advice and sharp political commentary.

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
Georgia Receives 15 Percent Fewer Ballot Requests From Overseas Voters Than In 2020 by Brianna Lyman from The Federalist

Survival Punk | Ep256: Prepping for Events

Join me today as I discuss prepping for events and why I don’t think you should. I do not think it is a good idea to focus on a specific event when you are prepping. 
If you put all your effort into an event it is usually done in fear, and fear leads to dumb decisions. Events are usually always time based. So they have a deadline and come and go. If you focus on an event and it doesn’t happen you are likely to quit prepping when it doesn’t happen. 
After Y2k there was a lot of survival gear up for sale. So it works out well for us. If you prepare to improve your quality of life regardless of events then you are better off whether something bad happens or not. 
So do not prepare for any giant event prepare for life nad you won’t be disappointed.

Survival Punk | Ep255: My Thoughts On The Self Reliance Festival

My Thoughts On The Self Reliance Festival | episode 255
Join me today as I talk about my thoughts on the self reliance festival. My family and I just returned from this year’s self-reliance festival in Camden Tennessee at the SOE compound. We loved it. It was our first time going but definitely not our last. 
There were so many great speakers and demos going on there. There’s no way you could have left there without a lot more knowledge and being hyped to go out there and do things. 
I was very excited to see some old faces and meet some new ones. I have met Jack Spirko and John Willis before but it has been more than 10 years. I was still drinking when I went to Jack’s place so that’s at least more than 11 years ago.
Camping was fun as always. This was my daughter’s second time camping and she loved it.  There were so many kids for her to play with while we were there she had an absolute blast. 
The real hero of the festival was Toolman Tim’s wife who put on the Self Reliance Kids program. She did an amazing job.
