Prof CJ has multiple history degrees and has taught college history for eight years. He is also the host of a podcast called Prof CJ’s Dangerous History Podcast, which covers a wide variety of historical and related topics from a skeptical, libertarian, individual anarchist, anti-establishment viewpoint. Prof CJ has been teaching college history since 2006, but he has been a smartass, iconoclast, and a cynical questioner and critic of authority since he was a little whippersnapper. Naturally, these attitudes have influenced his take on history. Prof CJ likes his teaching job and does his utmost to incorporate his radical critiques of the established narrative into the classes he teaches, but he still finds formal academia somewhat limiting at times. He decided to start a podcast as an outlet for his revisionist rants. His podcast “The Dangerous History Podcast” teaches his listeners the history that the establishment would prefer that you didn’t know about.  His goal is to help his listeners learn about the past, so they can understand the present and prepare for the future. Today we look at the American Civil War.  CJ, just completed a lengthy series on the American Civil War and will be discuss the work he put into creating 28 hours of content on the subject along with the key lessons and take aways from it.

Two weeks ago I realized that we have not really dived deep into the topic of Permaculture I began this current series on Permaculture.  So far we have completed part one and part two of this series. If you have not listened to them you may want to because today we are going into techniques and tactics.  In general when people jump into techniques and consider the technique itself “permaculture” we get “type one errors”, and we don’t want that. Today we expand on our series as we continue with techniques, tactics and strategies as they relate to Permaculture design.  While today we will focus on food production and livestock I do want to remind you that as a design science permaculture can be applied to just about anything from designing a business to designing your lifestyle. Join Me Today to Discuss… What is a type one error as applied to permaculture design What is a technique What is a tactic What is a strategy Some Permaculture Techniques Key hole gardens Contour gardens Terrace gardens The herb spiral (or herb garden) Aquatics Hugulkulture Back Yard Orchard Culture Composting Wicking beds Green houses and other season extenders And many more Getting tactical Determine connections between systems Integrate systems and stack functions Eliminate labor via automation and natural process Consider restrictions based on the scale of permanence How to come up with your strategy What do you need What do you want What do you like What do you hate How much time do you have What realities are you ignoring Final thoughts   This continues a multi part series on Permaculture, next time we will discuss, guilds, free form vs. specific design, 6 more design principles and more.

Last week I realized that we have not really dived deep into the topic of Permaculture for a while so last Tuesday I did part one of this series.  If you have not listened to it you may want to listen to it for a basic understanding of the science of permaculture, especially if the topic itself is new to you. Today we expand on Part One and discuss sectors of design and basic earthworks.  We also discuss property evaluation though the permaculture lens of “water, access, structure”. I also expand on the prior episodes design principles with 6 more design principles and how they should influence your choices with design. Join Me Today to Discuss… A basic definition of Permaculture Permaculture’s Sectors of Design Winds – hot summer, cold winter, etc Solar – sun in summer, winter, shadows, etc Water – flows onto, across and off the property Pollution – noise, chemicals, run off, flood zones, etc. Views – good views, bad view, etc. Fire – blocks, dangers, etc Wild Life – natural movement, attractants, repellents, etc. Any and All Energies Earth Works – water moves at right angle to contour Swales – not every design should have them Ponds and Dams – water is life Terraces Plowing and Ripping Texture How to Evaluate a Property Water Access Structure Six More Design Principles Obtain a yield The mature forest floor is an underground lake Connect all systems by relationships, functions and surpluses The problem is the solution Everything gardens Patterns dictate design Final Thoughts   This continues a multi part series on Permaculture, next time we will discuss, guilds, free form vs. specific design, 6 more design principles and more.

Our guest Daniel Allen says that for $38 per square foot you can build a DIY off grid home finished with appliances. That it’s possible to throw a few simple tools and a pallet of cement in your truck and go build the shell of a cabin, in a month at any location you can get water to.  That this is all possible with AirCrete. AirCrete is a home made cellular cement product with structural & insulating properties. When you make AirCrete cement is inflated 6 times its volume with air bubbles. When building a dome it is rot proof, fire proof, pest proof, tornado proof,and sound resistant.  Walls can be cast into shape, stained to any color, and made to look like almost anything you can imagine. Daniel joins us to have an open discussion as one leg of using this product in building a well designed lifestyle. Using this method Daniel says even a person on minimum wage can have land, car, & home in 1-2 years if they are simply willing to camp and tough it out to get it done.

We have not really dived deep into the topic of Permaculture for a while so we are going to do that today.  For those who have studied Permaculture for a while today might be just a bit remedial but I will try to make it interesting for everyone.  We are going to start out with the prime directive, ethics, zones of design and the layers of a forest.  These four components drive the entire system thinking process of permaculture. We will then discuss 6 permaculture principles and how they apply to the modern survivalist life style.  We will then finish up with some myths and misconceptions about Permaculture.  In doing so I think you will realize that Permaculture is so much more than a way to grow food naturally. Join Me Today to Discuss… Permaculture’s Prime Directive and Three Ethics The only ethical decision is to take responsibility for our own existence and that of our children. Care of the earth Care of people Return of surplus Zones of Design Zone 0 – inside your shelter Zone 1 – where you naturally step every day Zone 2 – where you are weekly Zone 3 – main crops of agriculture Zone 4 – large scale farm forestry Zone 5 – nature, hunt and gather only Rules of Zones You don’t have them all on all properties They should get progressively larger They are not circular they are specific to a property They are in the end subject to the designer not the other way around Spend most of your initial effort on zone 1 or zone 1-2 The layers of a forest Canopy Sub Canopy Shrub Herbaceous Ground Cover Rhizome Vine Key Takeaways About Layers They exist so if you don’t fill them nature will They scale up and down Layers exist in natural and man made systems Six Key Permaculture Principles – There are many more. Observe, interact and accept feedback Integrate rather than segregate The greatest yields are always on the edges of systems The forest is the greatest of all teachers Catch, store and rebound energy The more restriction on a design the more eloquent the design if the designer is up to the task Permaculture Myths It is only perennials It is separate from techniques like say aquaponics, rotational grazing, etc. It is only for ______ Final Thoughts   This begins a multi part series on Permaculture, next week we will discuss, sectors of design, earth works, guilds and 6 more design principles.

In the body of your email first tell me the council member your question is for. Second ask your question concisely in one to two sentences maximum. Third any and all details after that. This is the formula to give you the best chance of getting on the air. I do what I can to get as many of your questions as possible on the air but can’t always get to all of them. Our council is made of a wide variety of experts in everything from the tactical to the practical and everything in between. To get more information on our Expert Council visit our “Meet the Expert Council Page” to learn more about them and their specific areas of expertise.
