Homesteading with an Engineering Mindset – Epi-3802 Feb 18, 2026

Show notes

Today Abraham Pittman joins us to discuss how to apply engineering (particularly field service engineering) to homesteading and prepping, so examples include: Triaging problems, ie, make sure your chickens have reliable water systems before building a roll away nesting box.

Calculating risk/cost benefit analysis, ie, is it best to just let a lawn mower run until it dies, compared to letting a generator run until it dies ` Abraham Pitman is a field service engineer, homesteader, and practical prepper based in North Queensland, … Continue reading →

Dorloti Propane Torch Weed Burner – Item of the Day Feb 16, 2026

Show notes

SPECIAL NOTE – This item was discontinued under the previous brand name of Gagiter, but is now sold under the name Dorloti. I have ordered one under the new brand and inspected them side by side, they are 100% identical in all ways. This is quite common for “off brand” products that come out of China. It is still the best value for this type of tool I have found. So while the video at the end has a different torch in it, they are identical. Even the marketing images/cretatives are the same other than the change in brand name. … Continue reading →

Can Freedom Survive with Peter Quinones – Epi-3798 Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

Peter Quinones is the host of the “The Peter Quinones Show” which was formally known as “Free Man Beyond the Wall”. If you don’t listen to Peter but he seems familiar to you it may be because he was one of the founding members of the “Unloose the Goose” group. A sort of podcasting supergroup I helped found back in 2020. Peter reached out to me on Facebook about coming on the air to discuss “community organizing” from an liberty view point. I think this may merge quite well with my prior shows like Rules for Radicals for the Right … Continue reading →

Show notes

We are just a few days from Valentines day. For me that is when I want most of my seeds started for spring set out. I use that date as a cut off because I tend to set my plants out starting about March 15th. This is also the time of year when my inbox starts to heat up with questions about the coming garden season and one topic always exceeds all others. No not which variety of tomato to plant, not which fertility aid to use or what to use for mulch. No the number one question is always … Continue reading →

Show notes

Pretty much every year I do a show like this where I go into 10-12 things I am going to try growing this year that I have never grown before. Thing is after decades of doing that I really don’t have a list of that many this year, that I have never grown before anyway. I do have a few I will share today. The big thing though is my core crops, at least many of them came from this annual exercise. Examples include Ping Tung Eggplant, Tromboncino Squash, Snake Beans and Safflower all became standard crops by starting out … Continue reading →
