I try not to go tin foil hat on you, but in this episode I discuss the importance of exercising your righs and how they apply to survivalism. Bob Mayne, Today’s Survival Show

We don't usually think of optimism as a survival skill, but that's exactly what it is. In this podcast I will discuss why it's a survival skill and give you some clear examples. When you start to see optimism as a survival skill you will immediately start working to improve that skill. I'll also give you some examples of how to do that. I'll also cover the 5 different ways that people look at survivalism and where you might fight in. I also give you examples of how people react to danger which will also tell you whether they are an optimist or not. This is not a conventional survival discussion, but when I'm through, I think you'll agree that it should be. Thanks for downloading and listening, Bob Mayne, Today's Survival Show

I had a chance to meet with Wade in Louisiana in person and we went outdoors and discussed growing, harvesting and dehydrating herbs. In this interview Wade also cooks some herbs and discusses some medicinal and nutritional qualities of popular herbs and how to acquire them. Remember, this podcast is not medical advice and does not replace the treatment of a doctor. This is meant to give you some information on how to use herbs as temporary relief or nutrition until medical help or more food is available. You'll enjoy Wade's enthusiasm and knowledge about herbs. He's also a member of our forum. Bob Mayne, Today's Survival Show

I try not to go tinfoil hat, but this episode is an examination of statistics that prove we are in deep trouble. Not only in the USA but in most of the world. These are facts, not theories or opinions. You need to know this stuff and it's not talked about in the media, in school or at the dinner table. This should get you motivated to beef up your preparations. Even though I'm a positive guy, I'm also a realist. This show is a dose of reality. Bob Mayne, Today's Survival Show
