 Episode-97- TSP Rewind – Prepping from Starting Out to Advanced Tactics | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:00:10

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-626- Prepping from Starting Out to Advanced Tactics and was originally published on March 17, 2011.  A lot has changed since this show originally aired and a lot has remained the same.  One thing is clear though my call at the time to not freak the hell out over the Fukushima incident was pretty damn accurate. The following are the original show notes from that episode… With the disaster in Japan I am getting a lot of emails from brand new people and long time listeners, the basic question is “what should we do”? Well this may be hard for you to believe given the non stop media coverage of the burning reactor but the answer is, unless you are in Japan you should probably not do anything. That said getting out of Japan unless you are part of the relief efforts probably isn’t a bad idea. You certainly shouldn’t go spend 100 dollars for a bottle of potassium iodine on eBay because you will be able to get all you want for about 15 bucks a bottle in about a month, there is really nothing for you to do, perhaps other than make a contribution to the relief efforts in Japan. What we all should be doing right now personally is using this current disaster as a gut check of sorts. Rather than worry about some fictitious cloud of death, that just isn’t going to happen you should be asking the following. What would it have meant to me had this disaster occurred in California or New York? What if it had just been a tsunami, just a nuclear accident or just an earth quake but had happened much closer to me, would I have been prepared enough to shelter in place or get out of dodge? With that in mind I think it is time we take a show to go back and just talk about prepping in general, the tenets of preparedness and self evaluation of how we would handle a disaster that wasn’t thousands of miles away. Join me today as we discuss… Why now is not the time to panic but to plan Why 30 days is the absolute minimum amount of food you should have on hand Why having a means of water purification is more important than water storage Why you need both lethal and non lethal methods of self defense Getting started with personal energy independence Understanding how most people are enslaved by the systems Realizing the link between liberty and prepping   Additional Resources for Today’s Show Members Support Brigade Join Our Forum Follow Life With Jack on Instagram TSP Facebook Group Walking To Freedom TspAz.com The Granddaddy’s Gun Club Biltong for Breakfast Find Your TSP Facebook Group for Your State Raised on Radio – Journey   Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

 Episode-2405- Bryan and Laura Emerson on Life in a Fly In Only Location | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:57:42

Bryan and Laura Emerson moved from a high-rise in Houston, TX to a two room log cabin – with an outhouse – in Bush Alaska, a 20 minute flight from the nearest road. They have lived there full time for six years and part time for a prior five. They enjoy a kayaking happy hour in the summer and wood fired hot tub at 10 below. They join us today to talk about the reality of living in a totally remote environment.  The challenges with getting supplies, transportation where there are no roads, staying prepared when there is no other real alternative and more.

 Episode-2404- Container Gardens for Food Production | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:30:45

Today we take a  look at a subject we really haven’t gone into for a long time, container gardening. I know many listeners have very small yards or no yards and are regulated to growing things on a balcony. Containers though to me are for everyone, they short cut soil prep time, offer many advantages and can be used in a variety of ways that improve your production regardless of your land or lack thereof. Get ready and strap in, I am on fire today with information and resources, this is one of those shows that will overload and work your brain. Join me today as we discuss… Why containers are for all gardeners Grow crops outside of your geographic zone Use your land for plants that really need the space Allows you to grow food anywhere you can find sun Opens up new spacing opportunities Turn some “annuals” into “perennials” Advantages of Container Gardens Very few weeds Easy and fast to build fertility Easy to work, harvest, etc. Easy to extend seasons with Easy to teach others how to do Fits perfectly into zone one design Lots of cheap and free container options Protected to a degree from your lifestock Crops that are ideal for containers Greens of all kinds but here are some people over look Swiss Chard Celery Heart Regrow Amaranth Orach Cress Argula Tomatoes Peppers Patio Blueberries Carrots Daikon Herbs – Basil – Oregano – Parsley – Sage – Rosemary – Chives – Dill Green/Bunching Onions Beans Peas Nasturtiums and other flowers Sweet potato (dual crop) Self Watering Containers – AKA Wicking Beds Perfect for water conservation Actually a lite form of hydroponics/aquaponics Easy to fertilize Allow you to go a week or longer with out gardening Getting really creative No limit to container size Companion planting and succession planting Getting permission to use the space of others Get started anytime of year Growing from seed, why not? Using vertical spaces to increase growing area Expand as you so desire   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 The Granddaddy’s Gun Club Bullhead Fishing Forum – A new little site I started Binance.com Biltong for Breakfast Find Your TSP Facebook Group for Your State Video of My Garden back in 2010 Escape – Journey   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.

 Episode-2400- Carey Holzman on being Terrorized by the State | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:35:06

Carey Holzman is  a Tech Expert who streams live on Youtube with over 230,000 subscribers and 25 million views of his videos.  His videos are mostly about computers and some stuff on the music he listens to.  With titles such as “How to Build a Computer”, “How to Shut Down Your Computer Faster” and “Music I am Listening to”. So imagine his surprise when, he was recently swatted while he was live streaming and the police terrorized Carey and his family to make sure we were not terrorists. He attempted to explain it to them, but they remained locked and loaded and endangered the community while violating his rights when they forcefully invaded his home with weapons drawn to ‘check on “their safety” while they were already safe waiting outside with other officers who knew who they were. Join us today for a cautionary tale that shows just how fast every right you think you have can be tossed out the window.  How your life can be place in jeopardy with a phone call and what you can do to prevent it from happening to you.

 Episode-2399- Individual Insurrection and Personal Freedom | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:23:49

Americans in particular are very fond of the word freedom.  It always has amazed me how people so attracted to the word freedom can get so upset when someone chooses to use said freedom differently then they do.  Over half of the people don’t vote, we all know this but tell someone who does vote you are going to around an election and watch them lose their minds about it. America’s main population has no idea what freedom means any longer.  They think it basically means, go to school and conform.  Go to college and conform.  Get a job and conform.  Pick a side of the dichotomy and conform to that.  Buy a house with massive debt, get credit cards, obey ever law including unjust ones. Never speak a single negative word about teacher, cops or soldiers, ever, under any circumstances, they are all heroes, ever single one of them, always.  A 401K is your total retirement because SSI will be there, just trust the state.  Spend 20% of your life in a car going back and forth to pay for a house you will likely never own.  Shut up and pay your taxes, it is the patriotic thing to do, we need roads! Work until at least 70, then pray you have enough money to live an okay life until you die.  Along the way never make the sheep uncomfortable.  Don’t say anything offensive.  Never mention a single difference between races or sexes and accept that gender is “fluid”.  Listen to the TV and believe what it tells you.  Never question “settled science” and you better not ever question a doctor’s view on medicine or vaccines.  It is totally acceptable to point out the curruption, lies, greed and malice of drug companies, but never question the people that sell you the drugs. There are literally hundreds of “rules” that are not laws yet society itself enforces them to the point of collective enforced brainwashing.  Today we discuss how to pull away from being part of the “self policing monkeys”. Join me today as we discuss… The story of the self policing monkeys The difference between what you care about and what you can influence Why you have to fight a “guerrilla war” at this point in the game Why radical, rebel and revolutionary are positive things Why growing food is the ultimate act of rebellion Why building things is an act of rebellion How we now plan out deaths instead of retirement Why you don’t have to do many of the things you think you do The motivation that makes you do things you don’t want to do Changing that motivation into a positive force The sliding scale, your on it what does it mean and what direction are you going What would you do if you could do anything you wanted   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 The Granddaddy’s Gun Club Biltong for Breakfast Find Your TSP Facebook Group for Your State The Heart from your Hate – Trivium   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.

 Episode-2394- 20 Herbs to Grow in 2019 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:41:08

Anyone that has followed me on TSP for any length of time, knows that I love herbs.  I love them as the medicinal gifts of creation they are.  I love them for the pollinators and predators they attract.  I love them for how the enhance our foods.  I love them for the teas they make.  And I love them simply for how they look and smell on a warm afternoon. Many people seem to think of growing herbs sort of as an after thought.  Or they think of them only in a dedicated space, an “herb garden”. To me they are best planted right with our crops, right in our flower beds and everywhere and anywhere in margins and edges.  Why?  For a few reasons…  It is what nature does, mimicking nature is almost always a good choice  If you want the pollinators and predators in your garden put what attracts them in your garden  As to planting edges and margins, it displaces “weeds” and maximizes productivity  Lastly herbs are tough, many are almost weed like, they can grow almost anywhere   This doesn’t mean I am anti herb garden, I think that is a great idea as well, I just think doing that and more makes a ton of sense.  Today we are going to look at 20 herbs, why I love them, what they do and how to grow them.
