Weekend Skills: Get Better Before Monday | Episode 461
In Episode 461 of the Survival Punk Podcast, I’m challenging you to stop watching prepping videos and start doing. This one’s all about weekend skills — the kind you can learn fast, practice cheap, and build mastery in over time.
The truth is, it’s easy to become part of the top 10% at almost anything. Most people don’t practice, don’t follow through, and don’t get their hands dirty. If you just show up, try, and fail forward… you’re already ahead of the curve.
Cordage Making: The Forgotten Skill
One skill I focus on is cordage making. It’s ancient, it’s simple, and it’s useful in every scenario from shelter building to gear repair. You don’t need expensive kits — just grass, bark, or even plastic bags and the right technique.
Spend one weekend making cordage, and suddenly you’ve got a muscle memory most people will never have.
Fire Without a Lighter
Can you make a fire without your Bic? This weekend, try a ferro rod, a magnifying lens, or even a bow drill. Learn how to build a proper tinder bundle and how much prep it actually takes to get a coal going. You’ll gain real respect for the process.
Skill > Stuff
Weekend skills are about leveling up your ability — not just stocking more gear. Practice:
-
Filtering water from a nasty pond and testing it
-
Cooking a full day’s meals from only your pantry
-
Sharpening every blade in your house and EDC
-
Making your own char cloth or fire starters
-
Building a Dakota fire hole in your backyard (or a friend’s with looser laws)
The Mental Edge
Trying new things builds more than muscle memory — it builds grit. Learning to fail without quitting is one of the best preps you can have. That weekend you burn your bread or collapse your tarp shelter? It teaches you way more than a YouTube binge.
Final Thought: Build Your Library of Muscle
Every weekend you choose action over excuses, you build something no one can take away — skill. No EMP, law, or collapse can erase it. So pick something new, screw it up, and get a little better before Monday.
Listen to Episode 461 — then go get your hands dirty.
