Good morning, it’s James from SurvivalPunk.com, and it’s one of those cold, gray mornings where power outages feel just a little too plausible. Today’s episode tackles a question a lot of people quietly stress about but don’t get good answers on:
how do you do real backup power when you live in an apartment or rental?


"Apartment Backup Power That Actually Works | Episode 566"

Good morning, it’s James from SurvivalPunk.com, and holy hell — it’s cold. Like ten degrees, why do I live here cold.

"Prepper Christmas Gifts Under $100 | Episode 560"

Good morning, it’s James from SurvivalPunk.com, and today we’re continuing the series on ridiculous restrictions, overregulation, and government “solutions” that make preparedness harder instead of easier.

"TRT After Two Months — My Honest Thoughts So Far | Episode 555"

It’s James from SurvivalPunk.com, and this morning the fog is thick enough to feel like Silent Hill. One of my headlights is probably pointing toward the sky like a drunk lighthouse, but that’s a problem for later.

Right now, we’re diving into a topic I’m uniquely qualified to talk about because I’ve done it myself:
building your ultimate survival shed.


"Building Your Ultimate Survival Shed | Episode 554"

Good morning, it’s James from SurvivalPunk.com, and it’s a chilly 47-degree start to the day. Today we’re hitting a topic that’s part reality check, part rant, part parenting manual, and part prepper manifesto:

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone — it’s James from SurvivalPunk.com, and today’s episode is a little different.

"Choosing Your Apocalypse Uniform | Episode 549"

Hey, it’s James from SurvivalPunk.com, and this morning it’s a mild 56 degrees.
