It empower you to determine exactly what to do based on your climate, context and goals … Continue reading →

Dropping the Denominator – Epi-3554 Sep 09, 2024

There is a math concept known as the “lowest common denominator” but this phrase is also used to describe people.

Urban “Ditch Fishing” as a Survival Skill – Epi-3544 Aug 20, 2024

When I say “ditch fishing” am a using a common term amount anglers who fish very small bodies of water in urban, suburban and even somewhat rural environments.

Agorism is most simply put the idea of building a free society by trading and working directly with others, without government rules.

The Last Free Generation – Epi-3513 Jun 25, 2024

Let me ask you a question, do you really feel future generations will know anything approaching the freedoms we still have today? Do you think even the freedom that children had in say 1985 will ever be restored? Have you ever considered the progression of the loss of freedom in this nation? I am talking going way, way back. It was said of the Native Americans prior to the founding of our nation that “never have there ever been a people who were so free”.

I am the grandfather of a Gen Alpha and a GenZ grandson. My granddaughter is at the elder age for a Gen Alpha and my Grandson at the lower age of a GenZ.

How At Risk is the US & Our Infrastructure – Epi-3468 Mar 26, 2024

The huge over night news is a container ship slammed into the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore. It is likely the case that some of the special children are cheering this as Key was a “colonizer” and should have his bridge torn down. These special children will soon find that that bridge is an important thing if you live on the east coast and want your chocolate, coffee and avocado toast ever day. Of course the loons on the right are already telling you they “know” it was an “inside job” or a “false flag” or whatever. Look, I … Continue reading →

Starting & Running a Business – Epi-3461 Mar 12, 2024

I am often asked for specific business advice and consulting. Things like “can we hire you to assess our business” which I don’t do because I simply don’t have the time to do that type of consulting. I am far more often though asked about business ideas. Like what do you think of this product or this service as a business. I almost always say, “sorry but I don’t do this type of thing”. The reason is simple, what I think about your idea is meaningless to your success with it. The truth is I really believe that the most … Continue reading →

Join me at 13:00 CST as we continue our multi part series on redefining education. I thought about calling this series “redefining childhood education” and while we will come at it a lot from what we should teach our kids, I am betting most adults may have to learn over half of the things we will talk about in this series as well.

Biology Over Chemistry to Restore Our Planet – Epi-3458 Mar 06, 2024

Chemistry and Biology are both wonderful sciences that have done many great things for mankind. Though like anything that is essentially a tool, some tools are right for somethings but not for others. When it come to taking care of soils, growing food, grazing animals, cycling nutrients and restoring ecosystems, biology is the right active tool. I say active tool because it isn’t that chemistry isn’t useful at all in these scenarios, rather it is how it can be useful. Biology is full of chemical prodcesses. Hence chemistry can be extremely useful in understanding organic systems. However when we use … Continue reading →

STX-3000 Turboforce Meat Grinder – Item of the Day Dec 06, 2023

Special Update – I have recommended this grinder a long time and I still do. I first brought it to you in 2017 and to this day it is still one of the best bangs for the buck out there.

If you start buying larger cuts, cutting your own steaks and roasts and grinding your trim, you can pay for this thing easily in 2-3 months and it is all “profit” past that. … Continue reading →

We also video’d all the presentations and they are now in a play list on youtube. They include the following… Low Cost Off Grid Housing – Shawn Mills Building a Niche Business – Joel Ryals Structural Shifts in the Economy … Continue reading →

Cole’s Canned Seafood Variety 3-Pack – Item of the Day Oct 30, 2023

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is Coles Canned Seafood Variety 3-Pack. Recently I brought you the 10 Variety Pack from Matiz in the category of tinned fish. I love that pack but it is very sardine heavy. Let’s be honest sardines are a thing you either love or hate. They are oily (beyond the olive oil) and have a deep “fishy” flavor. No matter how great a sardine … Continue reading →

Free Bantam Chickens at TSP-23 Oct 27, 2023

Dorothy has decreed that “ALL CHICKENS MUST GO” and hence any that do not find new homes are freezer/crockpot bound after the workshop. They all carry the genetics of the Blue Phantom Experiment. They vary in color some look like buffs, some more like old English and some show the blue/black colors really well but all carry the genetics. They are free, take your pick of them but you’ll need to bring something to carry them in. I realize this will only work for those driving in but thought I would throw it out there anyway. Of course if you … Continue reading →

What if you Don’t want to “Get Out” of the City – Epi-3396 Oct 24, 2023

During my panel session in Camden at the Self Reliance Festival, a question was asked that I was absolutely not expecting. A young woman, who was very emotional, asked, “But what if you can’t leave the city?” I listened to her intently, realizing very quickly that the reality was not that her family could not leave; rather, at this point in their lives, they simply didn’t want to. The bigger issue was her emotion; clearly, this was painful for her. They were a young couple, into gardening, had kiddos, but they were working with lower-income people, trying to make the … Continue reading →

Sometimes this was done with fruit tree grafted together, hazelnuts or even old cottage roses that provided thorns and huge hips as a crop. Other times the “productivity” took on a different bent like using willow and … Continue reading →

Saving Future Generations from Self Inflicted Slavery – Epi-3382 Sep 25, 2023

Let me pose a question to you: do you genuinely believe that future generations will experience anything close to the freedoms we still enjoy today? Can you envision the liberties children had in, say, 1985, ever being reinstated? Have you pondered the gradual erosion of freedom in our nation? I’m referring to a time long, long ago. It was once said of the Native Americans, before the founding of our nation, that “never have there ever been a people who were so free.” While this holds some truth, it isn’t entirely accurate, as various peoples have experienced such freedom at … Continue reading →

Beyond TEOTWAWKI: Building Your Personal Safety Net – Epi-3376 Sep 14, 2023

When the phrase “economic collapse” pops up, I often find myself saying, “no, that’s not going to happen.” Well, not the way many envision it, at least. The real deal is that the collapse is already here. It’s a slow burn, affecting us with both constant and sudden hardships.

Inflation & Interest: The Heat-Humidity Parallel – Epi-3369 Sep 06, 2023

In the realm of weather, we often hear the age-old adage, “it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.” This saying, while rooted in some truth, can sometimes feel oversimplified.

However, the reality is that both heat and humidity, individually or combined, can be perilous. They combine to create conditions that can lead to severe health risks, such as heat strokes. Drawing a parallel to our economic landscape, the dynamics of inflation and interest rates mirror the heat and humidity analogy. Individually, they … Continue reading →

How Would you Design a Society From Scratch – Epi-3302 May 16, 2023

This show is designed only to make you think and think deeply about many issues. In my view our society doesn’t do enough thinking, many people have claim to think and say stuff like I think _____ should be or not be done.

Thinking about an issue or a problem and how to solve it requires a total consideration of all sides, views and a review of all facts and theories about the concept. We don’t do this very … Continue reading →

The world is in desperate need of a true “green revolution” but it won’t and can’t come from government. We won’t get it done by mandating anything or taxing the air you exhale.

The first time I used the phrase “from home to homestead” on the show was quite a while ago. How long ago you ask? That would have been Episode 20 recorded on July 22, 2008.

Will the Dollar Lose Global Reserve Status – Epi-3277 Mar 27, 2023

The U.S. dollar is currently the dominant global reserve currency, meaning that it is held by central banks and other financial institutions around the world as a store of value and a medium of exchange. If the dollar were to lose its status as the global reserve currency, several significant consequences could occur: Decreased demand for U.S. assets: As central banks and other financial institutions reduce their holdings of U.S. dollars, demand for U.S. assets, such as Treasury bonds and equities, would decline.

Bitcoin is Freedom & Many Fear Freedom – Epi-3258 Feb 28, 2023

Like many I initially came to Bitcoin due to the simple concept of “number go up”, that was a long time ago and all I can say is I regret every bitcoin I didn’t buy and every bitcoin I ever spent.

Jack’s Cooking Hacks & Techniques – Epi-3220 Dec 19, 2022

I decided to do one more “new” episode for 2022 and just woke up thinking about cooking and different techniques.

Folks John Bush is a true OG in the world of Bitcoin and crypto and he just announced his free Common Sense Crypto Seminar coming this week.

The How What & Why of Bitcoin Self Custody – Epi-3211 Dec 06, 2022

The entire point of bitcoin is that you can self custody your bitcoin. In fact while many seem to think “be your own bank” means run your own node, it is really all about self custody. Think about why we have banks in the first place. Banking as we know it (international banking) goes back to the times of The Knights Templar. In this time people would make pilgrimages to the holy lands. You may imagine at such a time only those with means could make such a journey. The journey would be long, hard and expensive. You’d also have … Continue reading →

It isn’t hating everyone who is a cop or works for “the system” while you yourself take advantage of … Continue reading →

Stacking Sats will Never Be this Easy Again – Epi-3195 Nov 01, 2022

Has the bottom hit for the current cycle? The truth is that I don’t know. Further the truth is math never lies and hence it doesn’t matter. I actually called the bottom once the cycles top was established at 14,400 and I say yes, we have hit bottom. Yet when I say, “never be this easy again” I am referring to the next 2 years leading up to the next halving. There are so many ways to stack right now, let’s talk about some of them and why bear markets are for building. Join Me Today to Discuss… What is … Continue reading →

Building a Business is Hard & it Should Be – Epi-3194 Oct 31, 2022

I have been asked a few times in the past weeks to do a “just Jack show” on business. I decided it was a good idea but I want to take a bit of a different tact this time. I try to be very motivational when it comes to this topic. The reason is I know that nothing gets a business, especially a small one driven by one person more than irrational exuberance. Normally irrational exuberance refers to investor activity but today I am defining it this way. irrational exuberance – being so motivated that you ignore anything that would … Continue reading →

Understanding Permaculture – Epi-3189 Oct 24, 2022

It has been a while since we have dug deep into this subject and a while since we have looked at the more practical aspects of homesteading and prepping as well. Everyone loves the current event, gloom and doom stuff but what to do is really more important than why we need to do it. Also I started thinking about this and I think it is true to say many that learn, practice and teach permaculture have a hard time answering the question of “what is permaculture” beyond a dictionary type definition. Something like… Permaculture is an ethical design science … Continue reading →

Fan Picks & Clips – Weekly Top Moments on TSPC Oct 22, 2022

So as many of you know I have been encouraging folks to use the Fountain.fm app. It has worked well and TSPC has routinely ranked in the top 5 podcasts on the fountain charts. In fact this week we hit the top of the charts. That is great and thanks to all who support us via Podcasting 2.0 but I have pushed Fountain far more for how much more interactive it is than any other app. While it still does have bugs popping up at times it does so much and people can even earn a few sats just by … Continue reading →

Homesteading is the New Counter Culture – 3187 Oct 20, 2022

Yesterday chatting with Mark Baker about Homesteading I was reminded of an episode I did back originally in July of 2013 called, The Bright Future of Homesteading in America which is now a bit over 9 years old. It was interesting to listen to what Mark had to say about homesteading and contrast that with some of the bullet points in the old show notes. Today I decided to simply take those bullets and present them in the context of 2022 and all that has happened in the past 9 years and especially the past 3. The world has changed … Continue reading →

Updates for TSPC 2022 – Very Important Info if you are Attending Oct 19, 2022

So first the bad news. Billy Bond will be unable to attend and that means two presentation slots are now unfilled. While it is unfortunate that personal reasons are preventing Billy from coming there is something really great about those two open slots. We are going to fill them with hands on stuff! My original plan was to do a really basic chop and drop over view in the food forest which we likely would not have been able to complete and show you how to prep one bed for winter in our miyagi gardens. This was all going to … Continue reading →

Sacred 7 Mushroom Extract Powder – Item of the Day Oct 17, 2022

Note – While I explain Nurse Amy’s reasoning in adding this to their life it really isn’t why I have become a regular user. I figure my odds of getting a cytokine storm due to CoVid are about the same as being struck twice by lighting (especially since I have had Covid and it was no big deal). However, cancer is a real risk in our polluted world. If you read up on these mushrooms their anti cancer characteristics are well documented and at the cost per day this to me is insurance too cheap not to have. Of course … Continue reading →

A Master Class in Statist Jiu Jitsu – Epi-3182 Oct 13, 2022

I have been throwing around this term, “statist jiu jitsu” for a long time, over a decade for sure but it has been a while since we have dug into it. A new potential rule about who is and is not a contractor, proposed by the Brandon Administration brought it back into my sights this week. Honestly this rule if enacted is so simple to circumvent (assuming both sides want to) it is amazing no one is pointing out how to do so, at all. I am going to do exactly that today. Then we will dig into some other … Continue reading →

The Two Big Things Lightning Network Devs Need to Solve that No One Talks About Jun 01, 2022

Lightning is the most exciting technology on the planet today in my view. Nothing I say here is an attack. I am just a person that actually sells product and service.

Tech people have one huge problem, in short they know too much. That alone is not the real problem.

Developing True Mental Sovereignty – Epi-3091 May 11, 2022

Mental Sovereignty is the ability to fully and wholly think for oneself by using logic, reason and all available fact to form truly independent opinions and then take useful personal action based on them. Such actions may be proactive, such as “doing something about it”. They may also be non reactive, such as “this does not qualify for my attention”. But they are never over reactive in such as “I am so angry, I am going to fume about this and get nothing done while I waste this energy”. Sadly most Americans would claim that they do think for themselves, … Continue reading →

NOTE – This deal has expired. If/when it returns I will let you know.

Storms happen, electric companies underestimating a cold snap happen, trucks and back hoes hit power poles and lines. Now this particular generator is not cheap and it is not something … Continue reading →

10 Keys to Unlock the Chains of the Systemic Slavery – Epi-3067 Apr 04, 2022

The truth is you likely are not going to fully exit the system or more accurately systems. For all the evils of the systems of control and power there is also good. The key is to not be dependent upon them for you needs and rather use them at your discretion for your wants. The problem is that it is very easy to become convinced that you are in control when in fact you are not. Then much like the addict who thinks they can quit at anytime the reality only kicks in when the supply is cut off. The … Continue reading →

Dexter-Russell Spatula with Walnut Handle – Item of the Day Mar 28, 2022

There is No Left vs. Right Only Liberty vs. Tyranny – Episode 3033 Feb 08, 2022

The term “right wing extremist” to me no longer means anything. I mean it never meant much but at this point it simply means anyone and everyone who dares oppose the media/government coordinated narrative of how the world should be.

This is all of course absurd but what if I told you that it is only part of the real reality? That left and right do not even exist as we were trained … Continue reading →

Restoring Local Government with “Lawful Transparency” – Epi-3019 Jan 19, 2022

David F. Bradley, Sr. was elected by my community in the general election to fix the local school board from the inside.

We are in the Middle of a Collapse and that is Good – Epi-3001 Dec 14, 2021

This episode will likely go in a direction you will not expect based on either the title or the graphic I chose for a thumbnail. Today we are going to look at the current, (yes current) and ongoing collapse a different way. From the lens of the death of “trust” and the role we can play in building new institutions, communities, systems, etc that are worth of the trust that is largely dead in society today. Join Me Today to Discuss… What I said to Foster Gamble this weekend when he said “how do we prepare for what is coming” … Continue reading →

Reflections on 3000 Episodes of The Survival Podcast – Epi-3000 Dec 13, 2021

Today I invite you to reflect on 3,000 episodes of The Survival Podcast with me. When I started this show almost 14 years ago now, I knew it would become something amazing. But I had no idea how amazing the journey would be or that some day I would be doing my 3,000th episode. My original plan was for this to be just another show, but this morning I thought it really was time to look back and reflect on what TSPC has become, what it has meant to so many and how grateful I am to still be here, … Continue reading →

Fighting Back by Living a Better Life – Epi – 2996 Dec 07, 2021

I see a lot of talk about “fighting back” and have for some time now. Most of it is about posting angry things on social media, “holding them accountable” (whatever the hell people think that means) and voting. You know I tried all of that at one point or another. I tried “waking people up” with facts, logic and reason. I get all types of emails about how I did that for various listeners to the podcast, and I wish I deserved said credit. No, what I have determined is no one wakes up anyone! Period, the end, full stop. … Continue reading →

Crypto Thoughts for 12-2-21 Dec 02, 2021

I don’t expect this will be weekly segment but there are times when I figure it would be good to give a short update on this subject. May be once a month or every few weeks but no promises just yet. Anyway here are some of the cryptos I am holding and paying attention to and some brief thoughts on them. Bitcoin – As always I am bigger on Bitcoin then any other crypto.

How NFTs can Transition the World into an Ownership Economy – Epi-2991 Nov 30, 2021

I have been huge on the technology of NFTs since I first learned about them. On the other hand I have also been on record saying most of what is being done with them is beyond stupid. People buying the rights to a jpeg and other such nonsense often for 10s or even 100s of thousands of dollars. Recently I happened on this announcement from Algorand and LiquidVineyards. Now this is the type of thing I have been talking about. The basic concept is perhaps you want to invest in XYZ vineyard and buy the rights to say 3 vines … Continue reading →

Get Your Hands on a Super Venturi! So recently prior guest Rob Torcellini reached out about a kick starter he is running right now for a very innovative venturi nozzle that puts a lot more O2 into aquatic systems fo the same amount of energy. It is really cool and I have personally backed it. Rob is on an all or nothing Kickstarter here with only 9 days to go and about 60% to hitting the goal so he needs a lift to put him over. While he made this for aquaponics as I discussed yesterday O2 is great in … Continue reading →

Now is the Time to Start Indoor Hydroponics – Epi-2990 Nov 29, 2021

I am currently working on a presentation for when I am asked to do virtual summits and things like that. The concept will be simplifying down to 10 big problems in our world like food supply, medical treatment, etc. Then to give 2-4 simple and low cost things everyone can do to address them. Of course those things won’t “fix everything” or make you 100% ready for TEOTWAWKI but what they will do is make a meaningful difference in your life, if times get tough or even if they don’t. As you may imagine under food supply starting up a … Continue reading →

Time for Humanity to Grow Up – Epi-2984 Nov 16, 2021

I have been thinking about this a lot lately and how it relates to everything we teach under larger categories like cryptocurrency, permaculture, real entrepreneurship, voluntarism, etc. The reality is we do know what to do to solve every problem we have. I don’t mean solve in some utopian view where nothing ever breaks or fails, I mean solve as in any person who wants to live peacefully and be productive in some way can do so and be mostly happy and comfortable. Stuff will still break, we will still have problems to solve, but the answers are not unknown. … Continue reading →

Heads Up on a Ridge Wallet Sale – Your MSB Discount “Stacks” Nov 16, 2021

NOTE – As some have commented below they have not been able to use both codes. It is possible that Ridge changed their code because they set it up wrong in the first place. I do not expect MSB partners to stack it is just nice when they do. I heard from a listener that said this was working this AM. It appears not to now. I apologize for the confusion. I should have reached out to Ridge first but was behind today and didn’t want anyone to miss out. That said 15% is a solid discount. Our sponsor Ridge … Continue reading →

16 Things Bitcoin and Crypto have Made People Aware Of – Epi-2980 Nov 02, 2021

It has often been claimed that libertarians are the group that “flocks to crypto and bitcoin”. In the beginning I’d say that was true, but it has not really been the case in recent history. It may same that way, but it is more that crypto seems to move people toward libertarianism. We are now at a point where more than 20% of Americans own some crypto. If it was only libertarians who did so, I think the government would look different, don’t you? On top of that more than 44% of Americans who own crypto are millennials, defined as … Continue reading →

Protection Dogs with Joel Ryals – Epi-2979 Nov 01, 2021

Today we discuss protection dogs with Joe Ryals of FortressK9.com. Joel has appeared on TSPC before but it was quite a few years ago so I thought it was a good idea to get him back on the show.

We are not talking the simple “watch dog” here that guards a home or property. Nor are we talking the kind of dog that military or police use, though the breeds are often similar. The military mostly uses dogs to find … Continue reading →

Hoosier Hill Farms Gourmet Paprika – Item of the Day Oct 12, 2021

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is Hoosier Hill Farms Gourmet Paprika. Eventually I will be posting all my favorite spices, seasoning and herbs. Why? First they are consumables, meaning you use them over and over and in this case often. Two they are expensive in small quantities, the way most people buy them. Three, they are incredibly easy to store in bulk. In this case much like my … Continue reading →

Note even if you are not keto or interested in trying it, this show can help you. The same tactics can be used to save money on your meals, make use of left overs and eat healthier. Last week we had a question about eating Keto on the go. That was more in the vein of like a “protein bar” perspective. Meaning really you could toss stuff in a back back or briefcase and always have a meal on hand long term. During that discussion both Ken Berry and I talked about ways to prep things to take with you. … Continue reading →

Dr. Ken Berry on Reversing Type 2 Diabetes – Epi-2969 Oct 05, 2021

Dr. Ken Berry is a long time repeat guest on The Survival Podcast and a member of our expert council. Let me say he is one of our hardest working and most consistent members at that. So when I heard he was part of a new docuseries called “Reversed” and he wanted to let the audience know about it and reversing Type 2 Diabetes in general, I instantly asked him to be on air about it. In my view we should not even call Type Two Diabetes, well Diabetes. I personally consider it “lifestyle induced insulin resistance”. Type Two Diabetics … Continue reading →

10 Steps to Restoring America – Epi-2968 Oct 04, 2021

There is a lot of discussion about this concept right now and God knows we need it. That said most of the talk is total bullshit out of the standard play books of the political left and political right. It is all bullshit and you should know that, since such talk and empty rhetoric is how we got here in the first place. Trusting in the political process at this point is akin to a grown ass man or women waiting for “The Great Pumpkin” to rise on Halloween night. Charlie Brown, go trick-or-treat, don’t waste time in the field … Continue reading →

I really like Thomas and while I don’t agree 100% with him, I have leaned a ton from him. Monkfruit has been used for centuries as a sweetener, as you might imagine often by monks. It is a … Continue reading →

Win a Free Trip with my Favorite Fishing Guide Sep 29, 2021

Yesterday I went fishing, um I mean catching once again with my friend of almost two decades and favorite fishing guide Omar Cotter. Omar runs Luck O’ the Irish Guide Service specializing in White Bass and Stripers on some of North Texas’ best lakes. I have to say having gone out with Omar many many times, the results in the picture to the left are not guaranteed but they are very typical. The man and his other captains know their stuff and work their butts off for their clients. Well now you can win a trip with them and all … Continue reading →

Ron Paul on Fighting for Liberty – Episode-2964 Sep 28, 2021

Today I am honored to have Dr. Ron Paul on TSPC as my special guest. Dr. Paul is a big part of why TSPC even exists. In the early 2000s I discovered Dr. Paul and began my journey deeper into libertarian thought. He was an inspiration in so many ways but mostly due to his 100% unwillining to compromise his principles. Something largely unheard of from a politicians, especially one constantly reelected to the US House of Representatives. Since retiring as a US Congressman in 2013 Dr. Paul has remained an uncompromising voice for liberty in the modern world. Now … Continue reading →

Courtney & David Gleason on Building a Resilient Lifestyle – Epi-2960 Sep 22, 2021

In 2014, David and Courtney Gleason and their two (at the time) small children left their suburban Charlotte, NC home, moving to a dilapidated farmhouse on five acres. Their original intention was to raise their own food under the highest standards, and to live a more sustainable, financially resilient life. In addition to homesteading, David works full time in the tool industry, and Courtney works part-time managing a residential real estate portfolio, plus she homeschools their (now) four little kids. Within a few years of starting their homestead, they began producing more food than their family could eat, with the … Continue reading →

Sorry for the Interruptions – Here’s the Deal Sep 21, 2021

So I am hoping to have a regular edition of TSPC out later today, later than normal but a new episode. On Saturday evening (good humored sarcasm on) engaged in the highly dangerous act of simply walking to my back door (good humored sarcasm off) I heard a loud pop and my left achilles tendon popped. It clearly did not break but it stretched out a lot and it was not fun. Of course I am applying comfrey and have already gotten off crutches. I am going to a doc today only to get a referral for imaging to be … Continue reading →

Blind Patriotism is a Greater Danger than State Oppression – Episode-167- TSP Rewind Sep 20, 2021

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-1582- Why Blind Patriotism is a Greater Danger than State Oppression and was originally published on May 27, 2015. The following are the original show notes from that episode… I could simply say as to today’s topic that blind patriotism is a greater danger to liberty than state oppression because the former enables the latter but that would be an over simplification. This is actually a highly complex and I believe a very important subject. I have been struggling with how to … Continue reading →

Knowing When You Need to Take a Step Back – Miyagi Mornings Epi-170 Sep 16, 2021

I attempt to live my life based on a series of principles I call “Spirko’s Laws of Life”. A few of them literally are mine, as in I created them, most though are not. They are either sayings from other people or variations of things that have been said many times in many ways. This one though really is my own… “You are a battery and a battery needs to recharged from time to time”. While I teach these laws both directly and indirectly sometimes I find myself failing to truly live by them. In may ways I am the … Continue reading →

Betsy Dewey is a self described “freedom junkie” and American patriot. She is also a homeschool mom, a home birther, a musician, a Constitutionalist and a pioneer of light. She says, “My intention is to bring you the most important voices and information of our times, and to have fun doing it”. Betsy started her website and podcast at Freedom Junkie Radio because she feels present day journalism has become a farce. Industrial farming is destroying our planet. Our education system is churning out robots with very little capacity to think for themselves. After all, critical thinking is dangerous to … Continue reading →

It isn’t All Inflation, Some Crazy Shit is Coming – Miyagi Mornings Epi-169 Sep 15, 2021

Yesterday I discussed how inflation and deflation occur at the same time in our world. Due to money printing on one side and technology pushing costs down on the other. It is not that simple though, nothing on a scale like this can ever be simple. There are many dynamics at play. Right now we have one that people are talking about but I don’t think fully understanding. Supply shortages, even without direct inflation simple supply and demand says, if you have less items than people want the cost of them will go up. We have a lot of this … Continue reading →

My Crypto Views & Recommended Resources 7 Years In – Epi-2955 Sep 14, 2021

Time marches on, the world changes and if you are thinking person therefore so do your opinions and recommendations. If there is any place this applies when it comes to what I discuss and teach on the podcast it is cryto currency. When I first purchased and started taking crypto it was Bitcoin only and the year was 2014. Bitcoin was trading for about 300-500 dollars at the time. Since then I have watched alt coin and tokens rise and the industry grow to a 2 plus trillion dollar industry. There are now public companies with Bitcoin on their balance … Continue reading →

Surviving Economic Shifts will Require Drastic Thinking – Miyagi Mornings Epi-168 Sep 14, 2021

I was listening to this episode of Pomp’s Podcast today called, “#662 Deflation Is The Key To An Abundant Future w/ Jeff Booth” https://apple.co/2VLzbGU while the episode itself was about crypto, bitcoin and NFTs the part I want to direct today really is not directly a crypto topic. He also mentioned the death of Blockbuster as an example of how a deflationary economy is influenced by the relentless march of technologies progress. As soon as bandwidth to the average American house hold made high quality steaming possible, Netflix won and Blockbuster died. Many would say that all the Blockbuster would … Continue reading →

Get Ready for Bitcoin ETF Fuckery – Miyagi Mornings Epi-166 Sep 09, 2021

I have put my ear to the rails and I hear the train coming it is a good thing over all but it is also fuckery consistent with what has been going on all year. All the FUD about banning crypto, regulations that will kill it, etc is exactly that, just FUD. The billionaire class has made a decision rather than ban they plan to co-opt and they also know they have already been heavily “front run” and they don’t want any more of it that they have to allow at this point. Everything institutions are doing right now is … Continue reading →

While I am doing this for my audience today this is also one to share with your friends and family that need a wake up call. We have to start from a few absolute truths… One – We have all be subjected to obedience training Two – It has affected us all and none are immune to it 100% Three – We are continuously exposed to “reenforcement training” from media and peers Four – This ties into a human survival instinct, that is why it is so powerful Five – Any source that intentionally lies to you can never be … Continue reading →

Building Wealth is Boring – Miyagi Mornings Epi-164 Sep 07, 2021

Some times things just all line up. Recently I saw a post about BTC saying, “Bitcoin is boring” meaning we should all be buying up Doge Shit Coins, I guess. Anyway my response was, “Every reliable way of building wealth is boring, that is why so many people fail at doing something that is relatively easy to do in our world today.” Then just this weekend I listened to someone who I will say is a “young millennial” age wise say to a friend of mine, “You would not believe how many people younger than me are millionaires due to … Continue reading →

If the Odysee Video has any playback issues the YouTube Version is here. So I have said over an over when it comes to all these alt coins, what is the utility of the token.

As bad as I felt the overreaction by government and CoVid Karens was over the past 1.5 years, it continues to get worse while the disease itself continues to decline in its lethality. We also know it is not going to “run away” at this point. What I mean is we know it runs in waves, that it does not go into stratospheric numbers and over run the medical system. On the 3rd of August I made the post in this screen shot…. If you go to the official Texas website for CoVid Numbers you will see that not only … Continue reading →

Developing a Daily Routine as an Entrepreneur – Miyagi Mornings Epi-158 Aug 25, 2021

If the odysee video has any play back issues the back up youtube version is here.

Considerations of Fermentations – Episode 2941 Aug 23, 2021

As soon as I say fermentation most jump to making alcohol. And yes that is one kind but we are going to do a mile high view of many types of fermentation today. Man has been using fermentation for longer than he has even really known what it is. From the first honey in water in a sack made of leather to kick off into mead, to the first flour and water to rise on its own, to the first salted vegetables to sweat out and become sour and crispy, man used this process without understanding it. It in fact … Continue reading →

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. Every time I mention Dorothy and I are land shopping for a BOL, I get the standard question of where and why that place. I think many are looking for something akin to “Northern Idaho”, with some long explanation about natural disasters, remote populations and seasonal rainfall. My answer is far more boring. Where – within three hours of my primary residence. Why – because it is in three hours drive of my primary residence. Today I am going … Continue reading →

So How Do Swales Work and Should You Use Them – Miyagi Mornings Epi-155 Aug 19, 2021

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. So some of my old swale videos are getting the usual question about mosquitos, being stagnate, etc. I thought today we would look at swales. Many of you know I am going to say swales don’t breed mosquitos they don’t hold water. True but I should really say, “properly designed swales don’t hold water long term”. You absolutely can build a swale that turns into a stagnant nasty canal. The key here is swales are not “permaculture” as in … Continue reading →

Your Mind is Powerful & That Can be Dangerous – Epi-2936 Aug 16, 2021

In todays episode of Miyagi Mornings we discussed strategic relocation and what I guess you would call the “after show” came from a comment about how many people in cities feel “trapped” as though they can’t move. This led to a “Jack Rant” about how people crossed the Berlin Wall during the cold war risking being machined gun down and a state line not being the Berlin Wall. I started down the road in that discussion with how the human mind is the most powerful computer in the known universe. Something I have discussed on the podcast before but I … Continue reading →

Being an Anarchist in a World Where you will Never be the Majority – Miyagi Mornings Epi-151 Aug 12, 2021

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. I always say being an anarchist requires 7th generational thinking.

There has been a lot of fear based shrieking about the new infrastructure law and KYC requirements in it that could have broadly applied to crypto.

Fishing as a Form of Food Independence – Miyagi Mornings Epi-146 Aug 04, 2021

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here.

I Have CoVid – AMA Livestream 12PM CST Tomorrow with Jack Spirko Jul 28, 2021

So I had my suspicions for a few days. Dorothy had a truly painful sore throat and I had mild symptoms at the same time. Yesterday Dorothy was tested and popped positive. So given we spend nights in the same bed I am sure I would if I got tested too. Before I go any further, WE ARE BOTH FINE, in fact we are already improving. We started taking HCQ and Zinc yesterday and that seems to have also helped really quickly (surprise, surprise).

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here.

Laura and Bryan Emerson have been on TSPC twice before. They live in a location accessible only by plane (8 months per year)and snowmachine (2 months per year).

Eliminate What Isn’t, To Know What Is – Miyagi Mornings Epi-141 Jul 26, 2021

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. I have done some episodes recently hitting on why I do not trust science as an authority only as a process. This episode will touch on that as well, as it is where this concept naturally leads. However I also want to focus today on how this process is not just the scientific method summed up in a sentence. It is also trouble shooting and problem solving and it naturally leads to “systems thinking” as well. Hence it has … Continue reading →

Amazon has the Toshiba 32LF221U21 32-inch Smart HD 720p TV on a deal of the day right now. I don’t own this and I am not buying one as I have no need of another TV right now. This seems great for like in a game room or home bar or something like that where you don’t need a huge screen. The price is stupid cheap at only 140 bucks and it is highly rated in the review system. For those who worry about “Alexa” listening in, it does have the Alexa assistant built into it.

Today I am not telling you what is going to happen, I am telling you instead what very well might happen. We all know the media and the left have totally over blown the events of Jan. 6th while down playing months of burning city level riots in the summer/fall of 2020. The real down playing though is the potential of what may come. The nation is angry, both sides more and more are convinced they are 100% right … Continue reading →

Sustainable Civilization Lessons From Poverty Point Louisiana – Epi 2917 Jul 20, 2021

Recently I have been doing lot of study and research into ancient North America cultures. I have taken particular interest in the first true cities in North America and they are far older than many of us are told and taught in school. They are also far more grand. The oldest large and well preserved city (my word for it) in North America is today known as “Poverty Point” and you can go visit it in Northeast Louisiana. This settlement was very advanced, had massive trade networks with other locations. It was built 3500 years ago and was at its … Continue reading →

How F$%ked is the Dollar – Epi-2916 Jul 19, 2021

As many of you know I have been teaching people to actually diversify their assets for a very long time. In fact my recommendations have been fairly consistent since 2008 when I started, adjusted only as conditions on the ground have dictated. For instance I added Bitcoin as an asset to hold, once it came into existence and I learned enough about it to recommend it. My basic recommendations for an allocated holding group of assets are and have been…. Cash (dollars) for short term and mid term needs Precious metals as a wealth insurance program (at 5-10% of net … Continue reading →

Natural Law a Word Does’t Mean what Some of You Think it Means – Miyagi Mornings Epi-137 Jul 19, 2021

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. There are a lot of well meaning yet misguided folks in the liberty movement, frankly a better word may be delusional for them. Such people often speak of “natural law” as though it is some sort of anti statist mysticism. Learn the right words to say, and what not to say and most of the laws that apply to others, do not apply to you. With the right magic words you too can…. Drive without a license or registration … Continue reading →

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. Yesterday I got tired of the nonsense I keep hearing over and over and made a simple meme, the one you see as the thumbnail in this video. It is of course Ron Paul with the slogan, If y’all really wanted the “swamp drained” this guy would have been in the White House As expected the apologists showed up.

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s TSP Item of the day is SPQR Everything Bagel Seasoning. Before I fully committed to low carb one of the biggest temptations I fell for was bagels, and everything bagels.

Why I Don’t Trust the Authority of Science – Miyagi Mornings Epi-133 Jul 12, 2021

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. The short answer to why I don’t trust science as an authority is because it is not supposed to be an authority in the first place. Science is supposed to be a process and a never ending one. The journey from hypothesis to theory should be rigorous. The journey from theory to scientific law should be like a journey to the 7th level of hell. Instead we have a dogma that is so much more insidious then the common … Continue reading →

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. I have heard a lot of talk about “breaking up big tech” recently and this is coming mostly from the right wing media, for now. The truth is before the last election a lot of democrats were talking about things like this as well, even Biden was. For some reason he seems to have forgotten about it since the election.

Episode-2907- The Virtual Nations Currently Developing in Real Time Jul 06, 2021

I did my Miyagi Mornings video as a live stream today. One viewer when asked at the end about ideas for today’s podcast suggested say how to vet new people coming into things like “Freedom Cells”. This is a valid concern, there are definitely operatives attempting to infiltrate groups and worse instigate bad actions of said groups. I will talk about some of that today but I want to have a more broad discussion about the virtual nation concept I have been discussing in one way or another since at least Sept. of 2014 when I did my first fully … Continue reading →

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. I often refer to myself is as a Bitcoin Maximalist Lite, which honestly isn’t a thing other than me saying it. Here is what I mean though, I agree a lot with many “maximalists” in the following.

I believe it will be “digital gold” as long as we see that analogy as an actual analogy not a literal … Continue reading →

If you like these videos you will likely love my podcast and all my other stuff you can find at http://tspc.co If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. This came from a question both about improving pasture for grazing and what to do along the way to keep cattle fed.

Growing Older on the Homestead – Miyagi Mornings Epi-128 Jul 01, 2021

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. This was a fantastic post from the ask me questions Miyagi Mornings post on my MeWe page…. What do you do with a homestead when you’re elderly? There’s a lot we can do to increase our health span and be active well into our 70’s. But at the end of the day, we are all headed in the same direction and eventually even a modest homestead is unsustainable for an older person. What’s the long term prep here? How … Continue reading →

Episode-2903- A Live Ask Jack Anything Jun 30, 2021

Brief and short show notes today. I ended up having to cancel a scheduled guest for reasons I won’t discuss here. This left me with no show for today and I either had to do a rewind or call an audible. So audible it is!

Episode-2902- 15 Reasons I am Highly Optimistic about Our Future Jun 29, 2021

There is a metric shit ton of defeatism in the anarcho, libertarian, liberty, homesteader, prepper communities going around right now. I honestly feel we are on the cusp of massive victories while so many among us are all but holding up the white flag of surrender. I have seen a lot of this, more so in communities outside of TSPC. Having done many presentations lately for other liberty minded groups I have been privy to community chats, telegrams, etc. The defeatist language is so toxic at times I wonder why such people are even in such communities. I have been … Continue reading →

Episode-2901- Answers to the Most Common Questions I Get about Anarchism Jun 28, 2021

Many years ago, I guess about 7 years now, I made the shift from minarchist libertarian to full on anarchist. When I did so for some you’d of thought I had rolled up an orphan in a flag, set both on fire and used it to burn down a church. I mean people were literally outraged as though I had personally wronged them. Sigh. I learned early on that such entitled ass clowns are best simply ignored. But many others had real solid questions. In fact many such questions and a belief they could not be answered were questions I … Continue reading →

Gold and Silver are Terrible forms of Money – Miyagi Mornings Epi-125 Jun 28, 2021

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. I want to say something right out of the gate, lots of things are terrible forms or money but still good assets to hold and invest in. This is exactly how I view gold and silver, exceptional inflation bucking assets, but 100% terrible, outdated forms of money. I come to this conclusion by having done something most people on either side of the debate between precious metals and crypto have not. That is I have done significant business in … Continue reading →

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. A common theme in the worlds of prepping and liberty (which must coexist to be real – topic for another day) is the concept of building a community. And to be clear a local community of people that know one another in real life. People that can trade resources with one another, help one another and provide services to one another. The idea is since one person can’t ever be fully self sufficient, perhaps a larger group can. Let … Continue reading →

Why Any Sane Developing Nation Should Make Bitcoin Legal Tender – Miyagi Mornings Epi-123 Jun 23, 2021

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. I have a feeling even those that completely agree with this title will not expect the true reason that I will give. This is because most people simply do not understand where money derives value from. The worst offenders in this are what I will call the “gold maximalists”. If you are not familiar with the term maximalists it is common in the crypto space and refers to the “Bitcoin Only” crowd. All other coins are shit coins type … Continue reading →

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. The topic today was chosen in a bit of a round about way. I had a question on our MeWe official thread which I wanted to answer but the answer would have ended up really short if I took it on directly. The question came from Mia V on MeWe and it was…. How do you mentally and emotionally deal with family and loved ones who have become woke obsessed. The short answer here is that you have exactly … Continue reading →

Ironically the video they censored was about how the real conspiracy is people believing big tech, big business, big pharma, big banks and big media have … Continue reading →

If for any reason the above Odysee Video doesn’t play smoothly for you, the back up YouTube version is here. So recently I have talked a bit about how El Salvador adopting BTC as an official currency is much bigger news than most realize. I also said that Panama and Costa Rica were both considering it, and all this would lead other small nations to do the same.

Why is My Grass Fed Beef Tough & What to do About It – Miyagi Mornings Epi-118 Jun 15, 2021

If for any reason the above Odysee Video doesn’t play smoothly for you, the back up YouTube version is here. I am a huge fan of grass fed vs. CAFO beef for a ton of reasons. First any bovine is a ruminant and should be eating grass not grain. None of these animals evolved eating grain because there is no mass quantity of grain that is edible to such animals in the wild. Indeed when you graze cattle you know they prefer what we call “teen age grass” about half grown well before it puts on any seed heads. Go … Continue reading →

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is Redmond Real Salt. We first got this because Dorothy heard a certain YouTube personality state that “sea salt and pink salt are good sources of minerals, unlike table salt”.

If for any reason the above Odysee Video doesn’t play smoothly for you, the back up YouTube version is here. I want to lead off with a reality, I personally feel the narrative behind most “conspiracy theories” to be well, basically bat shit crazy. When ever anyone wishes to discuss a conspiracy theory with me, about anything at all I ask them a simple question. Is there any conspiracy theory you don’t believe? If they can’t name one, I don’t bother with the conversation. Like any sane person I am naturally skeptical of anything and everything lacking evidence. I am … Continue reading →

If there are any issues with the above Odysee Video the back up on YouTube is Here I talked about this on Episode-2778- 15 Fishing Hacks for the Everyday Fisherman. It is a very simple technique basically take shrimp, cover it with salt and wait at least one day, a few days are even better. I love shrimp as catfish bait, both Channel Cats and Bullheads love it. The problem is if smaller fish are around (and they usually are) it is a very easy bait for fish to steal. One of my favorite local ponds is full of Bullheads … Continue reading →

Will Bitcoin Become A Global Reserve Currency – Miyagi Mornings Epi-114 Jun 08, 2021

If for any reason the above Odysee Video doesn’t play smoothly for you, the back up YouTube version is here. In truth I doubt that any nation will 100% make Bitcoin their reserve currency. The reason may shock you but once you hear it and think about it for about 10 seconds, it should make sense. In two words, “alt coins”. Wait does that mean some nation will make say Litecoin or god forbid Dogecoin their reserve? In a word no. I have talked about the unnecessary number of alt coins before and what reason do I always give for … Continue reading →

Episode-2887- Producing at Least Some of Your Food for Everyone Jun 07, 2021

One thing I hear so many successful people in the food production world say almost every time one of them speaks is “grow at least some of your own food”. The problem is the only solution they usually provide is something like, “even if it is just some herbs in a window”.

If for any reason the above Odysee Video doesn’t play smoothly for you, the back up YouTube version is here. So today I saw a meme on MeWe of some stories in the MSM from a couple months ago.

Episode-2872- The Big Lie – Just Follow the Rules May 17, 2021

This episode in a way springs off the topic of today’s Miyagi Morning’s video which was about getting past fear. As I was doing that video it occurred to me how many times I have talked about today’s subject in pieces and parts. So many people really think if they just “follow the rules” it is the safest and most reliable course of action. Yet here is a fact I have observed in my life. The happiest and most successful people in life that I know have tended to be those that “broke the rules” and I have to say … Continue reading →

If for any reason the above Odysee Video doesn’t play smoothly for you, the back up YouTube version is here. Note I don’t mean should you see BTC or other crypto assets as part of your retirement.

To listen to politicians, oligarchs and technocrats speak today you’d think the number one thing they care about is the environment. I have been asked why I am convinced things like “climate change regulations” are nothing more than an excuse for a global tax. It is simple, I judge a source based on its most common behavior.

Streamlight Stylus Pro Flashlight – Item of the Day Mar 04, 2021

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the Streamlight Stylus Pro LED Pen Flashlight. This is my EDC light, sure there are better and far more expensive tac lights, but the beauty of this light is multifold. First it uses standard AAA batteries. Not some special form factor that is hard to find. In our home we have good quality AA and AAA batteries on hand at all times … Continue reading →

Episode-2833- Really Understanding Money Mar 02, 2021

Money is something we are not taught about in school on any meaningful level and how could we expect otherwise. It isn’t like the average teacher has a clue about money, just listen to them talk about it and that rapidly becomes clear. I’ll tell you though in many ways it is people who have a degree in economics that know the least about money and what it really is. I know that sounds crazy but the best way to get someone to believe something that isn’t true is to teach it to them in an institution. Bluntly money isn’t … Continue reading →

Episode-2832- The Actual Climate Change You Should be Concerned About Mar 01, 2021

As I do not subscribe to the alarmism around CO2 based climate change I am often accused of being of all things, a “climate change denier”. This is so asinine! I am actually very concerned about climate change an always have been. And to be clear I am concerned about both man made and natural climate change. Breaking it down into both sides I would say that natural is the bigger issue (you can’t stop it) and that man made is also a big problem and has likely caused issues with reducing natural moderation of our ecosystems. While the alarmists … Continue reading →

4 Shelf Indoor Mini Greenhouse – TSP Item of the Day Feb 26, 2021

Special Note – As I say in this review these are provided by many vendors. They are all basically the same. The current vendor with them in stock now offers them in quite a few sizes, some quite a bit taller and wider. The least expensive size is what I have but I may have chosen something with more space, so please size your choice to suite your needs. Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s … Continue reading →

Episode-2828- Seeing Permaculture in a Different Light Feb 23, 2021

Most people come to permaculture because of a desire to produce their own food and it is to be fair a huge part of the discipline. In fact people often say that permaculture is a system of “permanent agriculture”. This is understandable as even the founders have on occasion said such things or at least things you can interpret this way. The key though is to understand that when David Holmgren and Bill Mollison created this system, it didn’t exist. While obvious it is the kind of thing we tend to gloss over. When they began and wrote Permaculture One … Continue reading →

Take Back Your Privacy and Get Paid when you Search the Web Feb 11, 2021

I am very excited about PreSearch.org and it is my new default search engine. Presearch is a block chain based search engine and I feel it gets far more accurate results then DuckDuckGo which I have used mostly up till now. It gets better, not only does PreSearch not track your searches or record them, they pay you to use their service with a crpyto currency called you guessed it PRE. You earn up to 4 PRE coins a day at a rate of .25 per search. All you have to do is sign up for an account and you … Continue reading →

TSP-21 Spring Work Shop Sold Out Feb 10, 2021

So it took a couple days this time but the Spring 21 Workshop at Nine Mile Farm sold out, yet again. I am always humbled when this happens. Last time when it sold out in minutes I was happy and sad at the same time. Seeing so many familiar names not get in sucked. We do have a capacity limit and we pushed it last fall to the absolute limit. Spring is a busier time for folks and we run a slightly smaller event. I am happy that we both sold out and that it took a couple of days … Continue reading →

Episode-2821- Paradigms Fall, The Media is in Denial & The Elites Capitalize Feb 08, 2021

This morning when I checked crypto prices I did a quick double take, “Bitcoin is at 44K, what is going on”? Ten seconds into it I found the media going ape about the fact that Elon Musk announced that Tesla purchased 1.5 billion dollars worth of Bitcoin mostly in January and as part of being a public company had to disclose this. Every article on it had a passive aggressive undertone, attacking Musk, Tesla and above all Bitcoin itself. I am pretty sure that this one is on cut and paste phrase list for any so called journalist writing about … Continue reading →

Episode-2819- Dreaming of Spring and Planning Gardens Feb 04, 2021

It is days like this where I think back to living in Pennsylvania for much of my life, and remember cabin fever often lasting into April. It makes me really appreciate some part of living so much further south. Don’t get me wrong, I do miss many things like the colors and smells in the fall when archery hunting but man I am not a winter type of guy. A massive cold front is about to rock most of the nation and even I won’t be spared in North Central Texas. So this may seem like an odd time to … Continue reading →

They will be released on the TSPC Telegram Channel at 9AM CST on the 6th.

For the second project as it is so complex in its simplicity (yea … Continue reading →

Episode-2817- Choosing Chicken Breeds Based on Homestead Goals and Intrinsic Characteristics Feb 02, 2021

In some ways chickens are like WordPress Plugins. What do I mean by that? Man and chicken go back so far that no matter what you really want, someone has likely already bred a chicken breed that does that. Different breeds have different intrinsic characteristics. In permaculture any living element is analyzed for a few different things but one is intrinsic characteristics. For this discussion let’s break down and define those words Intrinsic – belonging to the essential nature or constitution of a thing Characteristic – a distinguishing trait, quality, or property In other words some animals and further some … Continue reading →

The principles of Permaculture covered today are the 12 principles offered by Permaculture’s co-founder David Holmgren. There are far more than these 12, we are just going to cover these today as a way to expose our audience to what Permaculture is really all about. I feel the discipline is largely misunderstood, either as simply organic farming on steroids or some hippy dippy lefty mud rolling eco leftist ideology. It is really neither, rather it is a design science used to create systems that work with nature to support all of humanities needs. Join Us Today to Discuss… Why permaculture … Continue reading →

CZ Garden Net Pot Cups – Item of the Day Jan 19, 2021

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day are CZ Garden Net Pot Cups. Let me come out of the gate with this fact, there are cheaper net cups, but none actually cost less. How is this possible, we are back to always be frugal never be cheap. CZ is well priced but top quality, the price to value ratio we always look for. Most cheap net cups won’t last a … Continue reading →

Episode-2807- Saving Seed and Developing Your Own Varieties Jan 18, 2021

Today I want to discuss a skill we have not dug into for quite a while. That is seed saving and I also want to talk a bit about seed storage, trading seed and the value of regionally adapted seeds. There is also a ton of confusion in the seed marketplace today about exactly what a GMO is, what a hybrid is and what an “heirloom” seed is. Without an understanding of this you are vulnerable to a lot of misinformation campaigns designed to sell you things you don’t need or keep you from using some seeds that may really … Continue reading →

Universal Cell Phone Tripod Mount – Item of the Day Jan 15, 2021

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the Universal Cell Phone Tripod Mount by Ulanzi. A few years back, we launched our instagram channel (ItsAJackLife) and Dorothy has been managing it for me. We started to do some short videos there and decided being able to use our tripod would be a good idea. Issue was my old adapter made by DaVoice didn’t work for vertical, only horizontal.

Episode-2805- Function Stacking and New Projects on Nine Mile Farm Jan 14, 2021

Today I am going to use a variety of projects I am currently planning and implementing here at Nine Mile Farm to teach you about function stacking. Function stacking is a key principle in permaculture but it should really be a key principle in all design. Geoff Lawton says “the more restrictions on a design, the more eloquent the design” and it is always how you see function stacking show up even when designers don’t use the term. A perfect example is all the “tiny house” TV shows and videos. Equally you see it in RVs. As soon as that … Continue reading →

Episode-2804- Building Stability though Abundance Jan 13, 2021

Today I released an older video I found about Brad Lancaster and his water harvesting efforts in Tuscon Arizona. It really got me thinking about the need to build community though abundance. As this was happening I had a guest turn out to be and this is as nice as I can put it, “not right for the show” and hence lost my booked guest for today. So I reached out to fellow Goose Gaggle member and friend of the TSPC community Xavier Hawk about this topic and he was kind enough to join me at the last minute for … Continue reading →

The DeeJo Gentleman’s Knife – Item of the Day Jan 12, 2021

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the DeeJo Gentleman’s Knife. I honestly love this knife and it is the first time in all my years I was sold something with a marketing article! You know those articles that pretend to be about this cool new thing you need to know about but are really a sales pitch, pretending to be a digital magazine article. As a knife enthusiast … Continue reading →

Episode-2802- Big Tech’s Purges and Our Decentralized Future Jan 11, 2021

The topic of the day is by far the recent purging of Parler and their total shut down due to Amazon AWS pulling the plug on their hosting. This was clearly a well coordinated attack with cooperation between Amazon, FaceBook, Twitter, Apple and Google on a competitor. There should be lawyers lining up for racketeering and anti trust actions. That said not only can we not wait for such action to “fix things” we need to see and seize upon the opportunity we now have. This purging is what so many needed to see to understand the true world we … Continue reading →

Episode-2800- The Shit Has Only Begun to Hit the Fan Jan 07, 2021

I am going to talk a bit today about the demonstrations and violence in the capital yesterday. I am also going to talk about why it happened, why it was easy to predict and why we need to all step back before talking about “what really happened” because that is rife with misinformation right now. I will provide you two great videos that break this down. One by Dr. Ron Paul and the second by Derek Broze. As they have done a great job of examining what we know and don’t know and the ramifications of this really bad idea, … Continue reading →

Episode-2797- Using Small Livestock to Build Fertility Jan 04, 2021

Small livestock are great to have around. They are the best way to produce protein and fat we have. They do this with meat and eggs along with dairy in the case of things like goats. We have talked a lot about this in the past and we will do so again in the future but today I want to start zeroing in on fertility. I am going to tell you about one of our biggest problems leading off today and yet one almost no one even bothers to consider, look at or try to solve. That problem is we … Continue reading →

I came across 15 videos from a PDC he taught in Glen Rose Texas from 1995. They are now all on my Odysee Channel but better yet I set up an Odysee Channel just for Bill Mollison Videos. More will be added in the future. If you don’t have an Odysee account you can set on up in minutes and do so for free … Continue reading →

MSB Supporter Brave Botanicals adds Pirate Crypto (ARRR) as a Payment Option Dec 29, 2020

Hey TSP listeners, I’ve been talking a lot about crypto lately, specifically Pirate Chain, which I think is one of the best privacy coins out there. Well, longtime TSP friend John Bush, who sells kratom, delta 8 THC, and CBD at MyBraveBotanicals.com, just added Pirate Chain as a payment method on his site. So now you use your ARRR to buy some kratom or Delta 8 THC gummies.

Some Cool Permaculture Videos to Check Out During My Christmas Shutdown Dec 28, 2020

There will be no podcast today, not even a rewind. But in addition to the almost 2800 past editions of TSPC I have made a variety of Pemaculture oriented videos available on my Odysee channel. While all are good videos many of them could also just be listened to like a podcast and perhaps looked at when something visual peaks your interest. Here is what I put up for you over the Holiday. Taking Regen Ag and Permaculture Main Stream – This one is by me and is from my 2016 presentation at Permaculture Voices 3. ` Mark Shepard on … Continue reading →

Most of today’s show is a recreation of 2008’s Christmas special. Today we pause and take a moment to reflect on Christmas and how it has become the Holiday we celebrate today. Many American’s have no idea just how Christmas became unique here in America, the role it played in bringing our nation together after two wars of independence and the civil war. Christmas is special and a time to pause and reflect. Christmas is indeed a special time of year, today I will cover many aspects of it that may make this Christmas just a bit more special.

Episode-2795- The Mass Hysteria Has Only Just Begun Dec 17, 2020

The world is accelerating into total insanity and controlling your own life is the only vaccine for the resulting mass hysteria at this point. Last night on Unloose the Goose we discussed mental health, it was a great episode and you should totally check it out if you have not done so already. At one point Xavier Hawk got really deep with why he stays plugged into the news and how unless you understand why people are behaving as they are you are likely to be sucked into their behavior. While I think that cuts two ways, he was making … Continue reading →

Episode-2793- 10 Things 2020 Taught or Confirmed for Me Dec 15, 2020

The year is almost over and it was one for the books in so many ways. 2020 will always be a memory point for anyone who lived though it while being old enough to understand the basics of what was going on. Of course it is all about “the pandemic” which may be the least lethal pandemic in real deaths in recorded history by the way. It was also a major assclown circus election year and that is still being disputed. I expect to still be in dispute when Biden is no longer in office and off feeding seagulls ice … Continue reading →

Demystifying Crypto with Coinivore – Check it Out Dec 15, 2020

The folks at Coinivore reached out to me about their new website to “completely demystify cryptocurrency to help you use it to claim more freedom in your life.” The site is Coinivore.com. They’re a crypto news hub with live price data for every digital asset. Besides expert analysis, the site has educational info for beginners and reviews of top tools and services. They also have a cryptocurrency news aggregator with all the top stories from other crypto news sites. I like that they seem to put a big focus on earning crypto. Makes sense since it is one of the … Continue reading →

Episode-2792- Growing Your Own Poultry Feed Dec 14, 2020

A recent video from “Ice Age Farmer” made the case that we will have a dire shortage of soy beans in the coming year, other grains as well especially soy. I checked into it and I have to say for the US market I am not highly concerned. I don’t think the soy boys will need to give up their lattes in 2021. His point was well beyond soy milk and the lot though and to animal feed. I do have to say he is not totally wrong and I expect flat our famine in the 3rd world in the … Continue reading →

MeWe is Awesome – Here’s How It Could be Better Dec 13, 2020

Let me start out with the good, I love MeWe. Of all the alternative social media platforms I have tried it is the most feature filled and most respecting of your right to privacy. In fact they have a “Privacy Bill of Rights” and pledge to always do so. Some coming over from FaceBook say it is hard to figure out, I find this amusing as the interface is 90% identical to FaceBook with a few cool additional features. The big thing to be aware of on MeWe is posts are divided into your Contacts Feed, Groups Feed and Pages … Continue reading →

Check Out What’s Going on at TSP’s Discord Dec 12, 2020

I am not going to lie, I was not all in or even in on Discord on my first pass. Setting up a “discord server” comes with some need of technical knowledge and it just looked like a pain in the ass. So I did not do it. As so often happens when you have a great community, the community wanted one so they did it for me, whether I wanted it done or not. They then made me an admin and said, “get your ass on discord”. I have been doing this long enough to know such things are … Continue reading →

TTStar UHF Wireless Microphone System – Items of the Day Dec 08, 2020

Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the TTStar UHF Wireless Microphone System. I have gotten a lot of questions about this microphone set since I first launched Miyagi Mornings and started using it. I feel this microphone can truly elevate your video production, specifically on cell phones to a much higher level. The best part is the price, under 50 bucks and you are in business. There is a lot to love here, but the biggest part is how simple it is. Plug the receiver, turn on the transmitter and you are in business. I also love that … Continue reading →

Join Us To Talk About Crypto on MeWe Dec 05, 2020

I keep being told alternative social media is a “right wing echo chamber” and oddly by people who are not using it so they know nothing about it. Like this little tantrum by the media and MeWe’s Founder’s epic response to it. When it comes to MeWe what we have built is a huge community of people from the TSPC world. We talk about all kinds of things that have nothing to do with politics at all, everything from goats to guns and back again.

Episode-2782- The Future of Crypto Currency Nov 30, 2020

I did an episode of Miyagi Mornings this morning and it was on the rumor that Trump would roll out “Burdensome Crypto Wallet Rules“. I covered why that resulted in an almost 3,000 dollar drop in BTC pricing but why it went back up over a few days. I won’t get deep into that today so if you want the full explanation on it, check my video about it here. The key here is Crypto is a technology and there is a massive and multi faceted industry build upon it. What we have seen from the very beginning well over … Continue reading →

Episode-2780- The Most Misunderstood Delicious Fish in America Nov 24, 2020

Today I was gonna do a show about living free in an age of digital tyranny. I thought about it though as tomorrow is the Thanksgiving Special Show, and then I am out until Monday. It just seems like a good day for an informative, useful and yet totally light hearted show. Well just so happens I was moving stuff around in the freezer today and found a few packs of bullhead catfish which were recently “shucked” and set aside for eating on a cold winter day. I thought “hey you know I have talked about these guys in various … Continue reading →

Episode-2779- The Future Belongs to Land Holders and Entrepreneurs Nov 23, 2020

Historically in America who has been president or your senator, etc has meant very little in reality. What has mattered is how well individuals have designed their lives. The two biggest things that have enabled this for the most people are… Land Ownership (control of real property) Entrepreneurship (control of your own production of value) In some ways the place we live is so different from the nation Americans of the early 1800s lived in that you’d think they were different worlds. Yet the power of entrepreneurship and land ownership has remained fairly constant. While I don’t expect that … Continue reading →

Episode-2775- Resistance via Adaptation During the Great Reset Nov 17, 2020

I ended up skipping two questions yesterday due to being flat worn out and having my voice start to strain after a week of the TSP 20 workshop. Today I am going to use those two bullet points to do a stand alone episode and I think it will work better that way. These two questions were…. Could block chain solve election fraud, and do they even want the fraud solved? Can the great reset be fought, is there anyway to stop it? The short answers are yes, sort of and no in that order.

Today’s show is from a video I did back in September. At the time good friend asked me a sincere question. It has continued to roll around in my head. This talk by the pond was the result.

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.

Heads Up on a Lightning Deal on Anker Soundcore Q10 Bluetooth Headphones Oct 27, 2020

Anker ran a great sale a while back on a few items and these Q10 Bluetooth Headphones were one of them. I ordered a pair and have been hugely impressed with them. I find them to be a great deal at the normal price of 45 dollars a pair, but on sale for 29-32 like they are today, I consider them the best bang for the buck on the market. These went on sale last night and the blue and the red and black ones sold out almost instantly. They have the all black ones in stock though for 32 … Continue reading →

Episode-2756- 20 Perennial Herbs for Perennial Production Oct 20, 2020

Yesterday on the so called right wing echo chamber that is only about politics, someone posted this quite non partisan and non political graphic. I was like wow, someone did my pre show work for my next podcast, of course I added a few as bonus for you guys. To me herbs are one of natures true gifts to man and beast alike. They grow like weeds, they provide food, flavor and medicine and they ask very little in return.

Last week we discussed a surface level few of general concepts of getting your garden ready for the coming winter months. Today we take a deeper dive into what might be the most important and most overlooked part of the process, building soil. I once heard famous soil scientist Elaine Ingham say something very close to the following… As gardeners and farmers you have been tricked into thinking your job is to grow plants. It isn’t, the plants themselves have tricked you into doing their bidding, by growing soil for them. You can’t grow a plant, it is impossible. If … Continue reading →

Episode-2748- A High Level View of Resisting Social Engineering Oct 08, 2020

Last night in Episode 13 of Unloose the Goose the Gaggle Took on Social Engineering. What I mean by that is the way the systems are used to program and control others. Our initial idea was to discuss what I can best describe as “mechanical measures” to deal with the problem. What I mean by that is a basic formula of identify the source of the control and separate from it. An example would be if the nightly news is the issue, stop watching it. If the government schools are programming your children home school them. Things like that. This … Continue reading →

Episode-2741- You are Either Refuse to Play the Game or you are a Pawn Sep 29, 2020

Over and over I have said so often when it comes to people using the term “the system” that it is incorrect. The correct term is “the systems”. While it is true that in the macro these systems all serve the same objective (control of society) to not see them as individual entities such as the food system, medical system, economic system, etc. will prevent you from ever seeing the truth…. Fighting the system in the way most people use the term is a fool’s errand that only results in picking a side in the system you think you are … Continue reading →

Ken and I decided to get together today and discuss the proper human diet (keto) as a component of a prepared lifestyle.

Personally since switching to a keto diet in August of 2019 I have lost over 65 pounds. More over I have reversed pre diabetes, metabolic syndrome and according to many folks I look 10 years younger. Ken experienced a similar transition when he found this way of eating quite a few years ago and he will tell that story … Continue reading →

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the Boska Cheese Slicer. A while ago I did a show on kitchen items and you may wonder why this wasn’t on it, well simply because it was 15 vs. 16 items for that show.

Episode-2736- Back Yard Aquatics as a Permaculture Design Element Sep 22, 2020

Honestly one of the greatest things I have done on my property is the installation of multiple aquatic systems. I likely have done more than I should have but such is the life of an educator and in the end over time it led me to the concept of the “Miyagi Pond” which likely would have never occurred if I didn’t simply start playing around with Stock Tanks and IBCs. There is a saying most people know, that saying is, “water is life” and it is beyond a simple truth, rather it is a fundamental reality. And one can make … Continue reading →

Episode-2733- The Case for Bantam Chickens Sep 17, 2020

I put out a little video yesterday about the progress of our Bantam Chickens at Nine Mile Farm. I just love the personality of these pint sized chickens and they are coming along nicely. Someone asked this question in the comments section… Why bantams and not full size chickens? They are small and lay small eggs. I would think that they would be best for someone with limited space? It is a totally reasonable question. There are really two angles in it though. One is some reality, they do lay smaller eggs and they are good for someone with limited … Continue reading →

Episode-2731- Liberty By Lifestyle Design Sep 15, 2020

The world liberty has been elevated to what was once referred to in an old episode of Star Trek a “worship word”. Yet many seem to not even truly understand what the world liberty means. They seem to feel it means voting for their side so that only the things they want restricted or taxed are restricted or taxed. Liberty is the freedom to live as you choose until such time as you interfere with the liberty of others. That and only that is true liberty. Liberty can’t come from government and government also is not able to defend it. … Continue reading →

Holler Roast is Growing – Help Nicole Take it to the Next Level Sep 14, 2020

Holler Roast Coffee is ready to grow and they are pre-selling coffee and other cool benefits in a crowdfunding campaign, to get this done before the Christmas rush. Back in 2017 when I first met Nicole, she presented her side hustle at my spring workshop. She declared in front of the whole room that she did not want to roast coffee as a full-time business. And at that moment, I saw this look come over her face as if she had just heard herself tell a lie and knew it. And a few weeks later, when I interviewed her on … Continue reading →

Episode-2728- Finding your Why and your Passion Sep 10, 2020

“Follow your passion”, has become a catch phrase of both modern business gurus and modern spiritual gurus. It is actually one case where the gurus have it right. You absolutely should follow your passion, 100%, but the sad reality is, most people don’t have a damn clue what their passion is. It gets worse. If you want to know the answer to a math problem, there is an answer and someone can give it to you. If you want to know the best shovel to buy, it may be opinion but I can tell you about a shovel that will … Continue reading →

Video – The Honey Badger Squash that Beats the Vine Borers – Tromboncino Zucchini Sep 08, 2020

To me the squash vine borer is the demon of southern gardens. Taking squash that are so productive in the north they are given to neighbors who don’t like their car doors and destroying them before they even produce. Enter the Zucchetta Tromboncino aka “the bad ass, honey badger, dual purpose squash”. Check these guys out going into second season production after being hammered by vine borers and yet they just keep going. We look at another plant that may also be a bad ass for squash production, the Seminole pumpkin and take a look at some other garden updates, … Continue reading →

A New Way to Get TSP Updates Sep 08, 2020

This was one of those “duh” moments for me. Like why didn’t you do this long ago. As many of you know recently I discovered Telegram and we created two groups, one for Unloose the Goose and one for TSP. With a group on Telegram it is like a giant group chat. Anyone can post it it, anyone can share files, etc. This is great for those who want it but some just don’t want to get hundreds of texts a day about things they are not interested in. Enter Telegram Channels. A Channel is different, you subscribe and you … Continue reading →

Looking for a Web Services Administrator Sep 08, 2020

I run TSP on a dedicated server, my existing team no longer has the time necessary to help me when necessary. I am looking for someone skilled at server administration, and word press blogs.

State of the Social (9-4-20) Sep 04, 2020

It has been a few weeks since I went all in on “alternative social media”. Meaning I left Twitter and Facebook and started using MeWe, Gab, LBRY, Telegram and Parler full time. So far my results are a mixed bag and some of it is really positive. Here is a quick update on my thoughts for each service so far… Parler – This one has been the most impressive.

Episode-2724- There is a Better Way to do This Sep 03, 2020

I have done a series of YouTube Videos lately in addition to the podcast about “getting out of the cities”. It has occurred to me that one reason for the push back may be that a lot of new listeners and especially YouTube views likely think this is only about the riots. Long term listeners know I have said basically the same thing since 2008 when I started TSP in June of that year. In other words I have been advising people to get out of these cities I refer to as “flash point cities” for over 12 years now. … Continue reading →

Episode-2719- 20 Skills and Actions you Really Need for the Coming Future Aug 25, 2020

I was thinking a lot this morning as I took care of my garden about how much we have done here to make our lives wonderful. And not just wonderful but non brittle, resilient and largely unaffected by societies nonsense. Write before starting this write up I watched my grandson finish one of his home school lessons and take a nap on the floor with the dog because he wanted to. 15 minutes later I went to fill my coffee cup and he was back at his lessons, no one told him what to do, he just did it, he’s … Continue reading →

Episode-2718- The Digital Version of Walking to Freedom Aug 24, 2020

For the last two years I have really been ready to get off of both Facebook and Twitter. I have not used google as a primary search engine for a very long time. For browsers I either use FireFox or Brave, google can shove Crome up its ass as can Apple do with safari.

Episode-2714- A Coming Potential Insurrection Aug 18, 2020

Some in our community are starting to toss around the concept of a new “civil war”. I understand why but I disagree. Yet the US may be heading into something more like a late 80s, early 90s USSR break down. Notice I didn’t use the more common term, “break up”. Would this be good, bad, terrible, a mix, well as in most complex things I think “it depends”. And it depends on a lot. How does it go down, how long does it last, how do different regions respond. Additionally where do you live and not just what state but … Continue reading →

A Stark Message to all Youtube Content Creators – Get on LBRY Aug 18, 2020

I just watched Stefan Molyneux’s statement on his YouTube ban at LBRY.tv and it is eye opening. He said something to the effect of 14 years of my life, thousands of videos, millions of comments, have been destroyed. I know some don’t care for Stefan, that isn’t the point, at all. The issue is YouTube wiping out 12 year of work in one hour flat. Many of his videos are now on LBRY and yet I figure many are lost forever. It did not have to be. LBRY has an import function that can let you copy 100% of your … Continue reading →

Nicole joins me today for a discussion on what we have both learned during the 2020 pandemic and the colossal over reaction by government to it. We beat up on the scientific community, politicians, The Karens and more today. We talk about the shortages that happened, the ones that made sense and the ones that really didn’t. We talk about how a lot of the “inside information” both of us got was helpful but most of it really wasn’t.

Episode-2711- 24 Bullet Proof Plants for the Back Yard Hunter Gatherer Aug 13, 2020

I wanted a proactive and fun show today and shows about useful plants are always subscriber favorites. Last night on Episode 5 of Unloose the Goose we discussed the food system and it has a lot of this churning in my brain. When I was a kid my Grandfather taught me to tend our garden. In many ways is was a lot like a small row farm. Strait rows and a row for each thing. A row of broccoli, a row of beans, a row of cucumbers, 8 rows of corn, etc. When I moved to Texas I started out … Continue reading →

Huauzontle – The Most Useful Plant You’ve Probably Never Heard Of Aug 13, 2020

Huauzontle is often referred to as lambsquarters and that is a generic name for a family of plants that huauzontle is part of. The scientific name for huauzontle is Chenopodium nuttalliae while the common variety of lambsquarters known to most people in the US is Chenopodium album. Think of them as cousins, rather than sisters. Huauzontle grows lower and more spreading, it puts on a great deal more seed and does so earlier. Native peoples of Mexico where this plant originated used the dried seed as a grain, one reason it is also commonly called “hairy amaranth” the the seed … Continue reading →

Episode-2709- Eggs the Back Yard Protein that Fed Americans for Generations Aug 11, 2020

Yesterday I had to be in my car for a bit and so I listened to part of one of Nicole Sauce’s recent podcasts on meat chicken raising. She covered it all from getting new chicks to butchering them. It made me realize I have not talked about poultry recently and that hey I wanted to. Not wanting to redo the great work Nicole just did I thought, well lets talk about the other side of bird keeping, eggs. I grew up at what I kind of like to think of as the end of the great era of back … Continue reading →

Four Things Parler Needs to do to Blow Up Big Time Aug 11, 2020

I want to start out with what this post isn’t. This is not a post saying “hey Parler, you suck”. Rather so far I am enjoying Parler and I want it to succeed. So these are things I think they can and should do better. I am also doing this post because yesterday I criticized something they are doing, in response one of their people gave me a great answer. Also Parlers official account is following me and does respond to me at times. I know some of you may be like, well of course they do, you are a … Continue reading →

Episode-2706- Another Round Table Episode Aug 06, 2020

Just a ton of stuff I want to discuss today. It won’t have as many topics as Tuesday’s show so we will go a bit deeper into each one.

Episode-2704- Resist Domestication and Become a Feral Human Aug 04, 2020

I personally feel my father only gave me a few pieces of real wisdom. My childhood was not exactly the best be he did what he could and the wisdom he did give to me has stood the test of time. Much of it sounded crazy when he said it, today I see how wise it was. When I was young, way to young to really understand he told me something as follows… The people that run this country have one primary thing they want to do, fully domesticate the man. They want us to be like dogs or worse … Continue reading →

The Rice Knife or Serrated Sickle – Item of the Day Aug 04, 2020

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is a tool called a “rice knife” also called a “serrated hand sickle”. This one is a bit different then what I typically post for an IOTD. I don’t have a brand to recommend here. The truth is none of these are super high quality. They are almost all made in China and Japan. The ones from Japan are honestly a little better … Continue reading →

Episode-2703- Topic Round Table for 8-3-20 Aug 03, 2020

A bit of this is feedback by one means or another but a lot of it is just what is on my mind based on current events and what I am observing on social media. I am getting a lot of health questions as well and I want to make sure no one is making decisions only based on what I say.

An Open Challenge to Debate Any Scientist or Doctor on the Merits of HCQ for the Treatment and Prevention of CoVid Jul 31, 2020

The Open Challenge I have been trying to do this since March and have ramped it up hard in the last week, I have had no takers on this issue. I am open to other points of debate but specifically here are 9 points of debate I want to have with any professional about hydroxychloroquine, (hereafter referred to as HCQ in this article) as it relates to CoVid and the prevention and treatment of it. 1. HCQ is safe and the claim it should only be used in a hospital is a blatant lie 2. HCQ is a zinc ionophore … Continue reading →

Episode-2701- Instead of a Virtual Nation what about a Private Club Jul 30, 2020

We recently unloosed Episode #3 of Unloose the Goose titled The Futility of Politics and the Utility of Community. It was a great episode and exactly what I hoped for when I assembled the gaggle happened, an idea popped out. You might say we laid and idea egg. Like most idea eggs it was tiny at first, just a topic of discussion, the concept of protecting some activities by creating a “private club” and thereby not being subject to many of the states systems. For 48 hours now this egg has rolled around in my head and made me think … Continue reading →

Episode-2699- The Danger of Censoring Doctors Jul 28, 2020

Today is a different show than I usually do. Yesterday a group of doctors called America’s Frontline Doctors courageously told the truth about hydroxychloroquine in a series of videos. The most powerful video they released in my opinion was then banned by YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Following that their website was taken down by Square Space and the establishment is now going into character assassination mode on all of them. I am going to play most of that video on the air today along with my commentary. I have to say that I know I am voluntarilary risking my entire … Continue reading →

Episode-2698- Almost Everything the Government Says about Health and Nutrition is a Lie Jul 27, 2020

I do realize that the title is a bit redundant. Yes, I know, I could just say “almost everything the government says is a lie” but today we zoom in on specific lies, show them to be lies and come away with solutions to them. Sound good? Great and be assured that these are just a very small number of the lies the government tells along with the medical establishment on this subject. Specifically the ones I am most familiar with and thus able to discuss in depth. Join Me Today to Discuss… Enhancements to my CoVid Prevention Supplements and … Continue reading →

Editors Note – Today’s article was authored by John Pugliano. Given Mr. Pugliano is a regular contributor to my podcast and literally wrote to book on the coming automation wave (The Robots are Coming: A Human’s Survival Guide to Profiting in the Age of Automation) I decided to ask him to write this one. He graciously accepted. . This is the fourth article in this series. The main concept to remember as you move through it is that each of these articles focuses on one “mega trend”.

Episode-2694- The 2 Reasons Most New Businesses Fail Jul 21, 2020

I want to start out by clarifying I am talking about businesses and entrepreneurs who had a chance to succeed in the first place. So a lazy person won’t succeed and a flawed product or service is likely to fail, but we are not talking about that. I am also not really speaking of the “gig economy” here either. Driving or Uber is entrepreneurial but it does not make you an entrepreneur. It is sort of half and half model and the system itself largely compensates for the primary cause of failure in many true independent entrepreneurial ventures. What I … Continue reading →

Episode-2692- Almost Everyone is Already an Agorist Jul 20, 2020

Frankly it is amusing to me that most people are agorists even though most either do not even know the word at all or simply associate it with anarchism. The word agora is from Greek and it simply means market. Now today the first thing anyone wants to do with anything is politicize it. Capitalist, socialist, etc, must be inserted into any discussion about a market. That is mostly a fallacy though. When spoken of in the form of agorism, we are discussing the market that is, always has been and will always be there when humans interact at any … Continue reading →

Episode-2689- 12 Critical Skills and Knowledge Sets for the Coming Years Jul 14, 2020

So recently I began a series of articles on 8 Mega Trend that are leading the US into extreme flux and likely recession or even depression. The good news is I feel there will be tremendous opportunities as this occurs for people who have their heads on right, are prepared and are skilled in sufficient areas to capitalize the opportunities we will find in our future.

This is the first in a series of articles on why I feel in the next few months a pending crash of the US and much of the global economic system, will become our obvious future to even the most casual observer.

I am on Parler – Come Parley with Me Jul 09, 2020

I have never been one to just run out and join the latest social media platform. I do most of my stuff on facebook, not because I like facebook, at all, but because that is where most of my people seem to want to interact with me. Parler is marketed as a free speech version of twitter, and it seems to be, but that is also not why I decided to give it a shot. Here is why I am on Parler and why you may want to come parley with me and others there. I know I have been … Continue reading →

The upshot, capitalism … Continue reading →

Episode-2682- Get Ready for an Action Packed Second Half of 2020 Jun 16, 2020

I am not talking about CoVid Wave Two or any bullshit that might come with it. Nope I am talking about what TSP will be all about for the rest of the year. I am now only a few days away from my once a year vacation. I will be spending two full weeks on the beach with my wife. Recently a family member asked Dorothy, what do you two do for that long on the beach. Her response was epic and just one of the reasons I love her, it was, “nothing”. Ha! She followed up with “Well really … Continue reading →

Episode-2681- The Problem is the Solution if you Correctly Define the Problem Jun 15, 2020

Today we are going to discuss a permaculture principle many are familiar with, “the problem is the solution” but we are going to do so without really going into what most people see as permaculture. In other words while I may use some analogies to growing crops here, the problems we will discuss are going to be more main stream problems. The key to making the principal of “the problem is the solution” it two fold. Understand this does not mean the problem is not in fact a problem. If we have an actual problem, and we have many of … Continue reading →

Episode-2679 – Disconnecting from the Psychotic Loop of Media Content Jun 11, 2020

Today’s show was chosen by open suggestions from the TSP Facebook Forum, the person suggesting it put it this way. Disconnecting from the political/media insanity. You did a show a while back reiterating circle of concern, etc… recent news has brought tons of your listeners back into the psychotic loop of following politics and corporate news, getting angry, following more, etc… like it really is the most important thing to their personal well being (which couldn’t be further from the truth). This resonated with me a great deal. Here is why, I can tell you the two stories that will … Continue reading →

Episode-2678 – The Ultimate Conversation on Children and Technology Jun 10, 2020

Matt Kleopfer joins us today to discuss the impact of technology on children and families. Matt grew up as a stereotypical midwest farm kid, but like most decided to ditch the farm for a college indoctrination and pursued music and education. After 2 college degrees, Matt grabbed his helmet and shovel and headed for the trenches of public government education in a small rural Kansas town. After spending 5 years in the government school scene, Matt noticed some very alarming patterns. By this time he and his wife had four kids and were looking for an alternative. It all changed … Continue reading →

Episode-2677- Individual Insurrection though Group Action – The Podcast Super Group is Coming Jun 09, 2020

Just a week ago I was inspired by the awesome Curtis Stone to reply to one of his videos and an idea formed. What if a group of podcasters dedicated to liberty in every meaningful way from permaculture, to education reform, to well, everything came together to tackle the big problems in a new way. Rather then telling you what solutions we think you should use, we simply discuss them, in a way designed to teach people not only what can be done but how to discuss big ideas with total respect for everyone one in the conversation, focusing on … Continue reading →

Episode-2676- Replacing the Modern Education System Jun 08, 2020

I want to talk about a new initiative I am working on today in bringing together sort of a podcast mastermind group. Then I want to prime that by giving my potential solutions for the current flawed system of so called “public” education. There is no doubt that the modern education system is in trouble, in decline and headed off the rails. Part of me is very excited about this, there is another part of me though that understands a fundamental truth. The death of any system is a death of a mechanism of control, so its death will create … Continue reading →

Episode-2674- The Time to Get Out of the Cities Has Long Since Come Jun 04, 2020

I would say that the most current crises of CoVid and the Riots should be the final nail in the coffin if you have not already seen the writing on the wall. Life in large cities is just not a good life for humans, it is no longer necessary to make a good living and truthfully it just keeps getting worse. And as the title indicates as bad as they are, they really are not the final straw as that really fell long ago. Large scale high density cities are in my view at best a failed experiment and at … Continue reading →

Episode-2671- 12 Easy Productive Summer Plants and the Best Ways to Store Them Jun 01, 2020

I was told today that I needed to do less about plants and yes, this is a quote, “Jack, Don’t mean to sound negative, but our country is burning down!! I know you get excited about new plants. We need to concentrate on proven things now. Time to get back to basics!!” I have to say I was up in the air about what to discuss today until I got this email and it shoved me right into plants and food preservation.

Episode-2669- 12 Really Cool Plants Inspired by Joseph Simcox May 28, 2020

Joseph Simcox was awesome on yesterday’s show and after talking to him I looked up more of his stuff.

While you have heard me talk about some of these before many of them are brand new to TSP for sure. Finding a new plant that provides food, fiber, medicine, etc. is like finding a new gem.

Episode-2667- More on the Failed Policies of CoVid-19 Mitigation May 26, 2020

I wanted to get off this subject today but the mounting evidence that almost everything we did was wrong is coming though like a massive dam broke at this point. We have more studies saying asymptomatic spread is not likely, we have a conclusive trend in Sweden with no massive death spike coming. We have more antibody testing being reported, we have had states now open for three weeks without a massive second wave, and on and on it goes. The key here is I want to continue to help this audience understand what it can do to protect itself … Continue reading →

My Open Honest Letter to 2020 High School Grads who won’t have a Ceremony May 22, 2020

Warning – Stern, frank and adult language follows, if that bothers you, don’t read this it can’t help you anyway. So now you are sad because you won’t walk down the isle to special music right? Don’t be! I only went to my own graduation because I believed the lie that I would not get my diploma if I didn’t go. I remember almost nothing about the ceremony, certainly none of the pretty words.

Great Deal on a Good Generator – 205 Bucks and Free Shipping May 20, 2020

Not an official TspAz Item of the day but this just came on my radar. The Dirty Hand Tools 800 Watt Gas Powered Inverter Generator is on sale on Amazon today for 205.33 with free shipping on Prime. This is essentially the same generator as the famous Sportsman’s Generator I have mentioned before when it was on sale. I own that one, again they are the same thing, different colors is all.

Episode-2663- Developing Your Personal Counter Economics Game Plan May 19, 2020

Two guys I really like (Vin Armani and Pete Quinones) have been trading some thoughts on counter economics recently. Pete said something like, “Any strategy to defeat the expanding technocracy that does not include counter-economics should be rethought, or abandoned.” Which Vin responded to with, “A successful countereconomics strategy won’t defeat the expanding technocracy, but it will enable individuals to avoid the worst of its effects.” My response to Vin was, “Bingo! Agorism is not going to save the world, it is innate to the human condition. It is something you do, not something you create as a system. It … Continue reading →

Episode-2660- Why the Post CoVid “New Normal” may be a Lot Like the “Old Normal” May 14, 2020

New normal is a phrase being tossed around a lot lately. I find it usually used to get the sheep in line. When the market crashed in 08, dolts like Susie Orman used it to explain to you why you should now work until you are 75 or 80 to retire. Proving that she was totally useless to anyone who had not already figured it out. Today “new normal” seems designed to condition you to expect to be locked in your own home for at least a few years and that life has changed forever. Never mind that humanity has … Continue reading →

Dr. Earth Premium Gold Organic Fertilizer – Item of the Day May 13, 2020

Note – I appreciate you guys buying though my links and this is my favorite organic fertilizer. That said it has gotten very high priced on Amazon and Dr. Earth has also stopped selling direct. ` My gut having managed distribution systems in my past is they are tying to up their retail market. Retailers hate brands that sell cheap online and they despise brands who sell directly to the customer. ` So check local suppliers first. In the meantime I am researching an alternative that is more affordable online to start recommending but for now this is still the … Continue reading →

Episode-2658- House Hunting in a Buyers Market May 12, 2020

I am gonna say it isn’t really a true buyer’s market right now, not based on the prices I see. It is much more so than it was 18 months ago but super great deals are not everywhere, YET. Yet? Yes yet! They are coming and I am going to discuss why the market is always good for smart buyers all the time anyway. That said, trust me, the recovery no matter how good it is, if it is the best one we can hope for will take time. During that time people will need to sell, not want to, … Continue reading →

Episode-2655- What I Think about CoVid at this Point in the Game May 07, 2020

I have made spot on calls about CoVid and frankly I blew a big one. It was of course how draconian the government response to it would become. While the government is doing exactly what I said they would do in a pandemic almost a decade ago, the current virus is not something that warrants such a response. That was my opinion early on and it is now my opinion at the current time. I remained open to being wrong though. The early death rates looked horrifying, like really bad. The models were even worse. It seemed without lock downs … Continue reading →

Heads up on the Etek City Lanterns with a Deal of the Day May 07, 2020

I am kicking these to the top of the blog again today because they are still on the deal of the day price and a fantastic fricken deal at this price!

Episode-2653- Developing Your Personal Recovery Plan May 05, 2020

CoVid is not over, the immediate infections will continue for a time, while the total lock downs are an over reaction, the threat is real, especially for those in high risk groups. While I don’t think there will be a “second wave” worse than the first wave, some up tick after lifting lock downs will likely occur. A return in fall is likely, again the entire doomsday worse than ever nonsense should stop, but some return is also possible. Worse we now know what government will do. We all need to be prepping right now for our own personal recovery … Continue reading →

Episode-2652- Backyard Ponds for Fish, Fun, Food and Frogs May 04, 2020

This year I think I have had more questions about my Miyagi Ponds (wood framed ponds made with a drop in liner) then I have in all years combined since installing my first one 4 years ago. I don’t know if more people are watching “the YouTube” now due to CoVid or what, but I realized it has been a while since we discussed this topic. I was in fact going to discuss some of it on the feedback show Thursday but we ran out of time, I also realized it really does not fit well in a 10 minute … Continue reading →

Episode-2646- How Wrong Have Our Choices on CoVid Been Apr 23, 2020

Stay home and save lives! It is the creed we are all supposed to follow. Apparently if I go out and walk by myself in the woods at a local park, what I am doing is akin to shooting an old person in the face. According to Governor Gretchen “MeMaw” Whitmer I guess all of Texas is killing people because you can buy seeds and a garden hose when you are at Walmart which is already open and full of people anyway? My problem with the lock down strategy is it is ignoring facts in preference to catch phrases, something … Continue reading →

I did a lot of work this weekend and wore myself out pretty good. Rather than a structured show I am going to just discuss a few different topics.

Episode-2641- A New Look at “Bug Out Locations” in the Context of Pandemic Threat Apr 16, 2020

Let’s start out with this, today’s show is not “since there is a pandemic you should run to a bug out location, or go buy one”. Rather we have discussed bugging in (what everyone is doing) and bugging out (what only those with very well prepped BOLs are doing right now) many times. As I thought about our old property in Arkansas I began to consider what it would be like if we still lived there right now. I also started thinking what if we had not sold it when we left? Would we go up there right now? My … Continue reading →

A Note about Amazon Delivery Times vs. Quoted Times Apr 13, 2020

This is just a quick observation, it may not play out everywhere. Keep in mind I am not in but near DFW (Dallas – Fort Worth) which is a major market by any definition of the word. What I have observed though is Amazon is in a major mode of under promise and over deliver on shipping times. This is a not always but often type of thing. Here is the first key though, is the item showing as in stock currently? If so I say MOST times expect your item in 2-4 days no matter what the shipping estimate … Continue reading →

Episode-2631- A New Look at Back Yard Livestock Apr 02, 2020

Yesterday we talked about keeping a dairy cow. Not gonna lie, just for the butter and cheese, I’d love to but it is not in the cards for me. I am thinking about a neighbor that raises beef and wondering if some consortium of neighbors can be set up with a cow share, but that is for another day.

Episode-2626- Simple, Fast and Easy Kratky Hydroponics for Growing Food Mar 26, 2020

I consider it quite fortunate that back in late November of 2019 a listener asked me about something called, “Kratky Hydroponics” named for Dr. Kratky who is a professor at the University of Hawaii. Up until that point I had never really seriously considered hydroponics as I vastly preferred aquaponics because it is a more natural system. When I grasped the true simplicity of Kratky though it would not let go of me. I first used it to create a very inexpensive and productive seed starting system and even that system grew some things so fast it was producing food … Continue reading →

Episode-2624- Now is the Time to Grow Your Own Food Mar 24, 2020

I am going to say a bit more on the concept of treating CoVid with hydroxychloroquine today and play a patient testimonial as well.

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is Gorilla Super Glue with Brush & Nozzle Applicator.

Episode-2623- CoVid Solutions and Gauging Future Opportunities Mar 23, 2020

Utopia Kitchen Flour Sack Towels – Item of the Day Mar 23, 2020

PS – Bringing this around today because these or anything like them, regardless of source are a great resource right now to avoid the use of paper towels which are in short supply. Other than things that stain or fats and oils these are great for cleaning, draining, etc. I mean it even will work for the others too but how clean they will get depends on the fats or staining liquids in question. We recently sweated zucchini for instance and usually use paper towels for that instead we used this, toss into the wash and done. So may be … Continue reading →

Amazon Elements Multi Vitamins – Item of the Day Mar 19, 2020

I am not a medical professional, and I am not claiming any of the products mentioned treat, cure or prevent any disease.

There Appears to be a “Cure” Corona Virus, So Let’s Use It Mar 17, 2020

What I am about to tell you is true, you can verify it. At least for some there is likely a “cure” for Covid-19. Not may be a cure, a cure, if it will work for all remains to be seen but when it was used, it worked and seems to have worked for every patient it was used on. Was the medical marvel accomplished in the US, where we have the “best medical system, doctors, scientists and hospitals there are on the earth” and may soon have the most active cases of CoVid on the planet? No. Rather it … Continue reading →

Episode-2619- John Pugliano on the Current and Future Economics of CoVid-19 Mar 17, 2020

I asked expert council member John Pugliano to join me today to discuss the effects of the CoVid-19 outbreak on our economy. The reality is nothing in modern history really compares to what we are now experiencing. The market is down massively and businesses are closed others are open only part time, many that are open are doing very little business. All of this has both good and bad aspects to it. The bad is pretty obvious, fear is driving hording of consumables while durable goods sit idle and services go unused. The good is harder to see right now. … Continue reading →

Episode-2618- Doc Bones on the CoVid-19 Pandemic Mar 16, 2020

I decided to bring on Doc Bones from the expert panel to discuss the CoVid-19 situation from a pragmatic real world stand point. Doc is taking this seriously and has good advice but his central message can be broken down into two parts. Part One – Flatten the curve, follow the general advice, wash hands, social distance, etc. Part Two – Don’t panic, this too shall pass. It won’t last forever, don’t act like it will. We cover a lot more than that and I finish with my 12 points of advice on the current situation. In the end if … Continue reading →

Today we are not really going to talk about CoVid-2019 directly but more what it has exposed as weaknesses in the United States, what we should learn from it, why we likely will not and what that means you should do. Hint on the last one, what you should do is mostly what I have said you should be doing for about 12 years now. The truth about CoVid-2019 is that it is not nothing but it is nothing like what it is being made out to be. It is a respiratory virus and every year we have many such … Continue reading →

We have talked a lot about homesteading over the years, in fact one of my biggest early hit shows was called “From Home to Homestead” first published all the way back in July of 2008. To make the point of how long I have been teaching this concept, that was episode 20 of this podcast and today we are doing episode 2613. I have taught this approach from two primary angles.

I have attempted to be a voice of calm and reason with this current situation, as I always do. As I stated last week the main reason is this audience should be at minimum prepared at a basic level. What I have seen in general in response to “the corona virus” is a mixture ranging from some common sense to outright hysteria. The hysteria is coming from two camps, first is the main stream media and the political left. This idiots see it as a chance to defeat the orangeman. Additionally the main stream media always hypes everything they can … Continue reading →

Episode-2592- Integrating Nature into Our Lives Jan 30, 2020

There are a lot of terms for this type of thinking. A very popular one is rewilding. Yesterday in my interview with Reed Richard we discussed it as the concept of a biophilic approach to life. We are going to expand on that today because yesterday’s show really made me want to come at this from a different angle than we covered it from yesterday. Our guest yesterday was very big on the spiritual side of this and on what can only be called an “alternative lifestyle”. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but the average person is simply … Continue reading →

Episode-2590- Building a Business in 2020 Jan 28, 2020

One of the topics I have been strong on since 2008 when I started TSP that is honestly unique in the preparedness world is entrepreneurship. Many take the view that since it is “all going to collapse”, why would you bother. Frankly that is a beyond myopic view, at TSP we don’t only plan for things to go wrong, we plan for them to go right as well. Perhaps it is that I did a lot of my growing up in the 80s.

Episode-2587- Food and Farm Forestry for Global Security Jan 23, 2020

Today’s show was actually requested by none other than Geoff Lawton. I made only one modification changing it from Food Forestry to Food and Farm Forestry, simply to be more clear. When we think of food forests we think 90% about fruits and nuts, then about 10% about under story including the shrub and herbaceous layers. The reality though is forests can provide among many other things, food, fiber, fodder, construction materials, medicine and more. Additionally we need to reconsider what we consider a “forest”. Most would figure a forest must be in some way a square, rectangle, trapezoid, triangle, … Continue reading →

One thing we know is the current food system works, shocked that I said that? Okay when is the last time you had money, wanted food and could not get any?

A common theme I tend to point out this time of year is that the winter months often come with an abundance of time to do things that simply don’t get done in busier times of the year.

The spring was full of gardening, trout fishing, chores, etc. Then summer brought more fishing (bass and catfish), harvesting, berry picking, scouting for hunting season, ground hog hunting. Fall would come and it was three months of bird hunting, sitting in tree stands, butchering deer and more. … Continue reading →

Bidding War Begun on Custom MT Knives Oct 24, 2019

About two years ago I had a custom knife maker reach out to me and trade me a Bird and Trout Knife for an MSB Membership. I have fallen in love with the Bird and Trout Pattern. The Bird and Trout Pattern has been around for ages, today a lot of people do not stay true to the concept in what they call a Bird and Trout Knife. Many just market any knife suitable for processing small game as such. The original version is a classic gentleman’s knife.

Jack’s Bourbon Cooled Sumatra Coffee is Back at Holler Roast Oct 23, 2019

Jack’s Bourbon Cooled Sumatra is back in stock at Holler Roast Coffee. Better, it is a new harvest year, and this crop is stellar. It was a good year for coffee growers in Indonesia and, especially, in the northern Sumatran region where the Mandheling variety is grown. The flavor profile of Jack’s Bourbon Cooled Sumatra has shifted with the harvest. It has notes of earthiness, brown sugar, dried dates, maple syrup, and a nice, subtle acidity. Bourbon-cooling these beans brings out sweet tones of chocolate and a hint of licorice. We quietly released 200 pounds of Jack’s signature coffee late … Continue reading →

Episode-2535- 20 Unique Garden Plants to Consider Growing Oct 22, 2019

Long ago, we are talking 2008 here I started this podcast. I wanted to talk about all things modern survival related. To me nothing is more rooted in our survival than the ability to feed ourselves so I started talking about gardening. Still with tons of guns and gear types showing up in the early days I wondered if garden type shows would be well received. Not only were they but they became some of the most popular episodes I have ever done. Within that group shows dedicated to a group of plants you can or should grow, especially lesser … Continue reading →

Last week I discussed a YouTube video called “The Tool Box Fallacy” (a video by Passion of the Nerd on YouTube) and I challenged you guys to state a life goal that you have been holding back on due to this fallacy.

Time for a two fer Tuesday. Rather than cover one of these subjects in deep detail I plan to cover both with enough of the basics for you to just be able to understand the primary concepts and get started with both. First on saving seed, the good news is this is really easy and man has been doing it with no special equipment for about as long as he has understood what seeds were.

Group Hotel Info for the Fall Workshop Oct 11, 2019

We reached out to Holiday Inn Express Suits on N.W. Loop 820 this year again as we always do. Here is what they did for us. They have 10 rooms blocked off until 10-18-19 and at that point they are available to anyone. This is a great hotel and everyone that uses it loves it, but they didn’t give us the great rate they have in the past. They offered us 109.99 a day which is a good discount off their normal rate of 139.00 but that rate has gone up a lot in the last year. Mainly because an … Continue reading →

Legal silos aggregate to form legal structures. Sound complicated or crazy, it really isn’t either one. Tune in today to learn all about this revolutionary idea. Resources for … Continue reading →

Deal of the Day Alert – Anker PowerCore II 20000, 20100mAh Portable Charger with Dual USB Ports Oct 09, 2019

As many of you know I have recommended the Astro E7 from Anker for a long time. It is bad ass but it looks like Anker is replacing it with new tech. Right now if you want one there is only one way to get it. This is the same exact battery back up they just stopped calling it the Astro E7. It is identical but they force you to buy the fast wall charger for it so it ups the price quite a bit. https://amzn.to/35jiPFh It looks like Anker is replacing it with the new Elite 20,000 model. … Continue reading →

According to the people in power we are all on the edge of total destruction, all the time and only they separate us from oblivion. Of course this is mostly a great way to control people. Governments need enemies to protect citizens from in order to keep them obedient and to allow for the steady removal of liberty over time. That said we do have some real problems, the fact that the people who claim to have solutions are actually the cause of those problems doesn’t change the fact that said problems exist.

Episode-2516- Total Lifestyle Health for Modern Survival Sep 24, 2019

Health is an interesting word. One most people simply think of as the absence of illness, being physically fit and may be even eating well. I also find it interesting that doctors will take 11-18 years of education to be fully certified and yet they tend to learn almost nothing about “health” beyond the absence of disease. Still I think we tend to think very compartmentalized, even those of us that fancy ourselves as “living a healthy lifestyle”. Many people hit the gym often, eat well, see their doctors like clock work and yet are they really “healthy” if we … Continue reading →

Episode-2506- Modern Survivalism and Your Six Primary Survival Needs Sep 10, 2019

All the way back in 2008 I launched this podcast and I wanted a term I could hang my hat on so to say. I wanted something sane sounding and yet I wanted it to be accurate as to preparedness at the same time. Within the first few weeks I came up with the concept of “modern survivalism” and hence, “modern survivalist”. At that time I searched for exact matches of both terms and none came up. So I anchored down on that phrase. Today it is everywhere but I really believe TSP is the genesis of that concept. As … Continue reading →

Okay I am calling this series “Half Acre Homesteading” because marketing. The use of two words in a 2-3 word phrase is good at grabbing attention, think “Taco Tuesdays” or anything in that vein.

Likewise even if you have a lot more land, then this is what we call zone one design. Creation of a 1/20th – 1/2 acre system that you spend the majority of your activity on and hence it is … Continue reading →

In essence a better title for this show may be “lowering the common denominator” with the sub title of “the dumbing down of America”, but I simply feel dropping the denominator sounds better and requires more thought, and … Continue reading →
