The Survival Podcast

Vin Armani is a philosopher, serial tech entrepreneur, and CryptoSavage. He is the founder and Chief Technology Officer of CoinText.io, an SMS-based cryptocurrency wallet available in over 40 countries. In addition to being a software developer, author and speaker, he has made his living as a television star, film producer, art gallerist, pirate radio station operator, DJ, and motorcycle courier. He studied Philosophy at Howard University. A few years ago Vin founded CoinText.  CoinText is the fastest and easiest way to start receiving and sending crypto, as it uses your existing phone number as a wallet.  CoinText is built on BitcoinCash because of its rapid transaction times allow it to be used as a virtual currency for fast exchange and low priced items. We also discuss SLP (simple ledger protocol) and how it revolutionizes crypto currency, smart contracts and more.  From there we talk about Coin Spice, a YouTube Show and news source Vin supports.  And we talk about something called Spice Token designed for tipping and showing appreciation.  We conclude with a discussion on crypto currency in general, where things are headed.  Who will the losers and winners be and what is the future of the crypto world. Join Us Today As We Discuss… What is CoinText and why did Vin Create it How do you move BCH to a CoinText Number and back to a traditional wallet Are there privacy concerns with CoinText If you use CoinText and a merchant doesn’t, what is the solution What is SLP and why is it so important How many merchants are now taking crypto and specifically BCH What is Coin Spice and what is Spice Coin and are they even related The future of crypto currency in general Who some of the winners and losers will be and why so many cryptos were created   Resources for today’s show… Follow Life With Jack on Instagram TSP Facebook Group Join the Members Brigade Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TspAz.com CoinText.io VinArmaini.com Coin Spice Spice Token Vin on Twitter Vin on InstaGram Vin on FaceBook Levon – Elton John   Sponsors of the Day Safecastle Royal The Berkey Guy   Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

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 happens now if you ask people they have a lots of definitions of the phrase, but as the initial source I want to remind you guys what I meant when I started using it.  Simply put that while we have a ton we can learn from primitive and bush craft techniques that we have no reason to ignore or fail to use modern technology.  This can be some traditional skill set like learning land nav with a map and a compass, but also using GPS tech when available. However, it goes beyond that, many “doomsday type preppers” are big on going all in on gold and silver and shunning more traditional investments.  The modern survivalist take a far more balanced approach, using stocks for what stocks are good for, silver and gold for what they are good for and real estate for what it is good for.  We do this while shunning consumer debt and yet knowing in some business ventures you are stupid if you don’t leverage debt.  In short we use everything available to us and create redundancy for failures. When we look at true survivalism, as in continuing to exist and no dying, we can see some real genius in the bush craft survival concept of 5 needs being food, water, shelter, fire and security.  As modern survivalists that don’t go our of our way to be lost in the woods though we modify one of them and add a sixth.  Our new list looks like this…. Food Water Shelter Energy (fire is only one form of energy) Security Health and Sanitation (shitting in the woods is easy, dealing with the waste of a family in the burbs is more complicated)   Today we discuss modern survivalism, common sense prepping and evaluation of our six primary needs… What is a survivalist survive – continue to exist ist – suffix meaning to specialize in Every human is a survivalist, the question is only how good are they at it Modern Survivalism Explained Our Six Primary Needs and How to Think about Them Food Water Shelter Energy (fire is only one form of energy) Security Health and Sanitation The components that make them work optimally Money and Economics Time Freedom Lifestyle Freedom Space Personal Discipline Sufficient Motivation Final Thought – Who is really crazy?  The person who is prepared or the person who isn’t?   Resources for today’s show… Follow Life With Jack on Instagram TSP Facebook Group Join the Members Brigade Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TspAz.com Love Me Anyway – Pink (featuring Chris Stapleton)   Sponsors of the Day Butcher Box Backwoods Home   Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

When ever the topic of low carb eating comes up almost instantly I get emails with two questions.  Question one is, well how do we prep food wise with out rice, beans, wheat and pasta?  The second one is, well what do we grow in our gardens?  Today we will take on question two, because it is the easier one to discuss and I have to manage to do two shows today due to a commitment to friends tomorrow. Recently I embarked on a full on keto diet, my results have been amazing, you can track them along with me at this Keto Diet Playlist on my YouTube Channel.  But today we really are not going to talk about that so if you have zero interest in Keto or other low carb plans what you will get today is gardening for nutrient dense and high financial ROI food.  We will also say just a little bit about livestock and the role they play in this. Join Me Today to Discuss… Quote of the Day – Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are. ~ Kurt Cobain What is low carb eating, simply put 20-40 carbs a day The role of livestock in homesteading when low carb and some good choices Quail – meat and eggs Chicken – meat or eggs plus culls Ducks – same as chickens Rabbits – meat Pigs, Cows, Goats, Sheep require more effort All provide fertility The good news is a lot of low carb veggies are high dollar and or high turn over My 20 best crops for the Keto Gardener Leaf lettuces – .5 net grams per ounce – note POINT 5 Spinach – .5 net grams per ounce – note POINT 5 Swiss Chard – .6 net grams per ounce – note POINT 6 Mustards – .5 net grams per ounce – note POINT 5 Asparagus – .7 net grams per ounce – note POINT 7 Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts – .8 -1.25 net grams per ounce Kale and Cabbage – Under net grams per ounce Green Beans – (pick young) – About 1 net grams per ounce Peppers (hot and sweet) .9 – 1.25 net grams per ounce depending on variety Okra (great at thickening) – 1 net gram per ounce Radishes (wow do I have good news here) – .46 net grams per ounce (note POINT 46) Tomatoes – .7 net grams per ounce (note POINT 7) Summer Squash – .65 net grams per ounce (note POINT 65) Seed Pumpkins – 1 net gram per ounce Celery (regrowing cores is the easiest thing to do) .3 net grams per ounce (note that is POINT 3) Green Onions – 1.3 net grams per ounce Ginger (yes you can) – Used in very small quantities Cucumbers –  About one net gram per ounce Sweet Potatoes (summer greens, emergency calories) Less then net gram to the ounce raw Ground Nut (apios americana) 2.5 Net Carbs to the Ounce Bonus – Sunflower Microgreens – Per Ounce about .29 net carbs but 1.4 grams fat and .7 grams protein (12% ~ carbs ~ 59% fat ~ 29% protein) Translation, it isn’t even hard and Keto Dieters and should garden for economic and quality reasons alone   Resources for today’s show… Join the Members Brigade Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TspAz.com – support TSP when you shop on Online Granddaddy’s Gun Club Biltong for Breakfast TSP Android App TSP iPhone App Dr. Axe on Inulin Song of the Day Playlist – 2015 Song of the Day Playlist – 2016 Song of the Day Playlist – 2017 Ballad of Spider John – Willis Alan Ramsey Ballad of Spider John – Jimmy Buffett   Geoff Lawton’s Permaculture Videos 2019 Permaculture Masterclass :: Video-1 2019 Permaculture Masterclass :: Video 2 2019 Permaculture Masterclass :: Video 3 2019 Permaculture Masterclass :: Video 4   Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

Today the show notes are very brief, no links, no long story, just an introduction to the show so new folks that find it know what the heck is going on.  In 2008 I said for the first time on the air, “you are never gonna pay off all your debt, then call me up and say Jack you are such a jerk, now I have no debt and all this stupid money”.  Over the years from time to time I said many versions of this.  Eventually people started actually doing it as a joke and it become a thing. So today for episode 2500 we hear from a ton of listeners as to why I am a jerk.  In all seriousness if you are a modern survivalist, prepper, permaculturist or just a fan of liberty and ever feel that you are alone, just pull up this episode and give it a listen and you will instantly realize you are definitely not alone.    

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-1649- Does Permaculture Lead to Anarchism and was first published on September 22nd, 2015. The following are the original show notes from that episode… Woh! What is up with that title. I know we have a lot of strong political views in Permaculture. And of all stripes, liberals, conservatives and a lot of libertarians. And many who have been in the movement a very long time are quite proud of what ever political stripe they have. So does this question make sense? I think that it does, and I think it leads many to start practicing anarchism without even knowing it or realizing it. Understand there are two real types of anarchism at the individual level. I call these philosophical and action based. Strangely you’d think the philosophical would come easier but we all do the action based stuff in degrees. Please understand these two definitions are no one’s but my own. Philosophical Anarchism is the declaring of yourself to be an anarchist and then making choices about thoughts, issues and actions based on that. Action Based Anarchism – is the ignoring or disobeying of authority so long as doing so does not violate the principle of non aggression. For instance here are some action based anarchist things many of us have done or would do if certain circumstances occurred… Dressing the way you want to vs. the way you are “supposed to” Marrying who ever you choose instead of having an arranged marriage Using an illegal substance, including a pain pill from your last prescription Driving over the speed limit when no danger is present to another by doing so Keeping 10 chickens when the code says you can only have four Feeding homeless people even if the law says you can’t Using violent force to stop one person from harming another.   Those are just a few examples. To be clear on what is not anarchism here are some things people think are anarchist that are not. Stealing your neighbors property. This violates non aggression and is not anarchism. Using violent force to harm another person because you simply don’t like them, again this violates non aggression. Damaging property with vandalism, arson, etc. Again this violates non aggression.   Join Me Today To Discuss… Some of Permaculture’s biggest names and their views on anarchism Bill Mollison – an anarchist that doesn’t know he is an anarchist David Holmgren – a self declared anarchist Geoff Lawton – teaches anarchism, though he would claim not to be an anarchist Joe Salatin – a self proclaimed libertarian who practices anarchy Toby Hemingway – a self described anarchist Byron Joel – a self described anarchist Ron Finely – no idea his politics but an anarchist in action Paul Wheaton – not an anarchist but damn sure practices anarchy Mark Sheppard – libertarian at a minimum, expert systems martial artist Why Permaculture leads to anarchy It leads to real solutions, often that are illegal but work Ethics based and concerned with “people care” Teaches the practice of currency creation and private banking It is a design science which causes you to question everything No room for bureaucracy, a tree doesn’t care about your title A meritocracy in other words those that get shit done succeed It is about rewilding humans to live with nature vs. opposing it Promotes community interdependence vs system and centralized dependence Focuses on real wealth above persevered wealth Creates wealth that is hard if not impossible to tax Leads naturally to commerce at a local level Can not be controlled, policed, slowed down or stopped by the oligarchy Final thoughts on what real freedom is and why morality is required for it   Resources for today’s show… Follow Life With Jack on Instagram TSP Facebook Group Jo[...]

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-751- Common Sense vs. Consumerism and was first published on September 28th, 2011. The following are the original show notes from that episode… Today I wanted to take a moment to take a look at the concept of consumerism and how it directly conflicts with the preparedness lifestyle. Now don’t get me wrong I am a capitalist libertarian, I believe in the free market but I also believe in making informed consumer decisions. Consumerism is the opposite of that, consumerism is a heard mentality where providers and producers spend time competing for existing market share and replacing products that are still functional. An informed consumer market requires producers and providers to innovate and create better longer lasting products and services. Join me today as I discuss… Early Retirement Extreme – a book that got me thinking this way Are we in a “climax stage” as in Permaculture Are companies innovating or competing in existing markets Working Man v. Salary Man v. Business Man v. Renaissance Man How our grandparents evaluated a purchase of a product Do I need it Does anything I have fill the role now How long will it last What will it do for me and my family How long must I work to pay for it If I don’t buy it what difference will it really make How companies market products today Can we create a fad/cult following around it What existing market share can we capture with it Can we build a market to sell subsequent products to Is it a consumable or designed to fail How cheaply can we manufacture it Can we outsource most of the work Will it last long enough to avoid returns Can we sell it for less than the competition Or can we justify a premium at little to no internal cost How do we avoid the consumerist trap and still have fun and cool stuff Avoiding debt solves most of the problems Have a 48 hour waiting period on major purchases Ask the questions our grandparents did   Additional Resources for Today’s Show Members Support Brigade TSP Gear Shop Silver and Gold Shop – (sponsor of the day) HarvestEating.com – (sponsor of the day) Early Retirement Extreme – Book I mentioned today EarlyRetirementExtreme.com Episode 752 – Courtney Clay on UnSchooling – Episode I mention at the end of this old episode.   Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

The Moody family farms and homesteads on 35 acres in Kentucky. John Moody discovered more than a decade ago that his diet was killing him, with duodenal ulcers, seasonal allergies, and other health problems. So, the family began to transition to local foods and local food distribution. Eventually, John relocated his family to 35 acres of land to put his learning into practice. He is the author of a number of books, including The Frugal Homesteader Handbook and The Elderberry Book. He is the founder of the Whole Life Buying club and co-founder with Joel Salatin of the Rogue Food Conference. He speaks across the country at a wide variety of events and conferences, along with writing for numerous publications and websites in the food, farming, homesteading, and health space. John joins us today to talk about the coming Rogue Food Conference.  A new event in Kentucky just across the river from Cincinnati Ohio, designed to promote the idea of local and sustainable food production, self reliance and solid nutrition Resources for today’s show… Follow Life With Jack on Instagram TSP Facebook Group Join the Members Brigade Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TspAz.com Rogue Food Conference Abby’s Elderberries I Want it All on SongFacts.com I Want it All – Queen   Sponsors of the Day Knife Kits Free State Project   Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.
