I didn’t go looking for peptides to turn into Captain America. It actually started with trying to help my wife. She’s been dealing with chronic pain, autoimmune issues, weight that won't go down, and more than her fair share of setbacks. Traditional medicine had failed her in too many ways. So, like any good punk, I started digging. That rabbit hole led me to peptides.

You never think it's going to be today—until it is. In Episode 468 of the Survival Punk Podcast, I share a painful lesson in preparedness. While cleaning out my late aunt’s house, I gashed my elbow wide open. It wasn’t the cut that bothered me the most—it was the realization that my first aid kit wasn’t in the car.

Forget the movies. The image of the grizzled, solitary survivalist living off the land with nothing but a knife and a glare is a fantasy. Real survival? It takes people. In Episode 467 of the Survival Punk Podcast, I break down why going it alone is a losing strategy — and why building community, even just one good friendship, might be your most important prep.

In Episode 466 of the Survival Punk Podcast, I’m hitting the trail — not just for the scenery, but for survival. Hiking is one of the most underrated ways to train for collapse. It’s free, it’s fun, and it’ll quietly turn you into someone who’s actually ready when things fall apart.

In Episode 465 of the Survival Punk Podcast, I’m laying out why picking up a drill, hammer, or shovel isn’t just a hobby anymore — it’s an act of rebellion. This isn’t about Pinterest projects. This is about building resilience with your own two hands. Because in a world full of dependence, learning to do it yourself is one of the most powerful things you can do.

In Episode 462 of the Survival Punk Podcast, we're diving into one of the most critical — and overlooked — elements of survival: finding water in the wild. You can go weeks without food, but only a few days without water. And if you’re relying on that dusty old bottle in your bug out bag… good luck.
