Basic Preparedness as Lifestyle Design – Epi-3680 Jun 02, 2025

Show notes

When I talk to people and they ask what I do and I tell them I run a podcast I get three very common questions…. How do you make money doing that? What is your podcast about? What is it called? ` When I answer that third question with “The Survival Podcast”, it almost always starts a conversation that begins with some quite inaccurate assumptions by the person I am talking to. Whether they are of a prepper mind set or not it tends to be the same angle. “End of the world” type stuff. I instantly shift into explaining … Continue reading →

The hippies in the 60s had their “protest” bards in the form of Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Janice Joplin, John Lennon, Joan Baez…the list goes on. Now, I ain’t claimin’ to have their skill.

Become Dangerous with ChatGPT – Goes On Sale Tomorrow May 28, 2025

We are putting the Become Dangerous with ChatGPT course on sale tomorrow but it will likely never get posted publicly. If you are already on the pre registration list you should get an email later today reminding you that it is dropping tomorrow. This is not some marketing trick, this first round will sell out in minutes. I am limiting it to 100 people because that is as many and Tom and I can handle per round. We need to do a good job over the 40 days this course lasts. Daily videos prepping the class for what that day … Continue reading →

VEVOR 5-Tray Worm Composter – Item of the Day May 28, 2025

Show notes

Today’s Item of the Day is from Vevor—it’s their 5-Tray Worm Composter. Remember to use the code VVPROMO to get 5% off anything you buy from Vevor with my links. I mentioned this item in a recent podcast about various methods of composting. Enough of you guys got one that my Vevor rep literally reached out and said, “Hey, let us send you one for a proper review.” I figured this one was safe to recommend without a review, as screwing up a worm bin isn’t easy to do, at least not from a manufacturing standpoint. Now, management of worms … Continue reading →

Show notes

TSPC will return tomorrow, I take this day off with my family like most of America and I leave you with these thoughts on this day. Today is Memorial Day and I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone today of what Memorial Day is really all about. Many well meaning people even get it wrong in a way. My inbox tends to fill up with “thanks for your service” emails around Memorial Day. I appreciate it, there is nothing wrong with thanking a vet today, yet it is not really the day to thank vets many seem to … Continue reading →
