The Survival Podcast

TweetToday is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally, Episode-744- Building a Business to Create Economic Freedom and was originally published on September 14, 2011. The following are the original show notes from that episode. For the last three years all talk in regard to employment and business has been pretty bad. Yet in the depths of this recession many businesses are thriving. These include mega corps, small businesses and what I consider “micro businesses”. To me a “micro business” is a one or two man show. Such businesses can often end up being nothing more than a hobby unless they are built by the owner with the same passion Henry Ford put into the Model T. Yet for those who really commit, those who really build with unyielding passion there has never been a time better than now to create economic freedom. In our community many people want more freedom, perhaps a little homestead and most of all the ability to focus on what really matters, their families and communities. This is also the real world though and we have to “keep a roof over head and food on the table”. Join me today as I discuss how building a business can create the freedom to really live the way you choose and above all grant you geographic freedom. Join Me Today As I Discuss… Why the time is now better than any other Why no matter your business the web is key Social media is simply becoming communications The death of the “gate keepers” The commitment required Why “doing what you love” works Why “doing what you know” also works Why the system is more important than the subject Why poverty is NOT a virtue Three things you need to know about your audience Who are they What do they want How do they want it What your audience most wants today Affinity Authenticity Action Items All products can be classified as one of two types Needed Wanted (focus on these) The golden trifecta of product marketing Entertaining Life Changing Profit Yielding Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

Tweet Dillon was born and raised outside Jackson, MS. He studied chemical, mechanical, and nuclear engineering as well as business and, due to a fortunate injury, ended up in the one place in the military where his questioning attitude was welcomed instead of court-martialed. His military service took him to Washington, DC and Central America, both of which were formative in his adult view on governments, freedom, and liberty. He witnessed 9/11 first hand and how it changed his town as well as the blatant lies told by our most senior politicians about how we interact with foreign nations. He was lucky enough to return home to MS with his family where he is a senior leader in a major US utility, large enough that I’m giving the following disclaimer for him: The views Dillon expresses are his own and are not that of or endorsed by his company. He’s been listening to the show since 2010 somewhere in the neighborhood of episode 500 and has been engaging as a member of the community as Angusbangus via the blog, forum, Permaethos, 5min with Jack, Walking to Freedom, & MT Knives. He designed his own avatar that marries Calico Jack’s Jolly Roger and the rattlesnake from the Navy Jack. Some say “Don’t Tread on Me”. Dillon prefers to live by the motto “Tread if you Dare”.

Tweet I should probably call this podcast “an accurate understanding of permaculture” but “A New Understanding of Permaculture” has a better ring to it.   This show was in part inspired by a video by my good friend Curtis Stone called “What Permaculture Got Wrong“, while I love Curtis it could have been called “What Curtis Doesn’t Understand About Permaculture”. Though that is in NO WAY a dig at Curtis.  His opinion is based on seeing what people call permaculture and how those same people define it.  I see a huge problem here and it comes down to conflating technique and tactics with overall strategy. Permaculture is a strategy, more accurately… Permaculture is an ethical design science used to create specific strategies for any given situation using appropriate methods and techniques for the purpose of specific goals. Many have struggled to define permaculture over the years but I would hold that the above one may be the most accurate, simply because it separates strategy from techniques and tactics.  Permaculture is a systems thinking process, it is not simply a collection of techniques that are natural and safe ways to grow food.  Today we examine how that simple understanding allows Permaculture to actually live up to all that it promises. Join Me Today to Discuss… What does permaculture actually promise What is permaculture at its core The Prime Directive The Three Ethics How politics screws everything up Understanding Strategy Method Techniques How the three lead to good design How many critics get it right and wrong at the same time What is really meant by appropriate technology Some common methods and how they go wrong Mulching Swales Hugulkulture Rotational Grazing Food Forestry Some common myths about permaculture There is no annual production in permaculture There are no real pest/weed problems Permaculture is only good for back yards You can’t do mechanized harvest and do permaculture, etc. Some of Permaculture’s biggest pitfalls Obsession with a method Unrealistic goals Lack of experience (equating knowledge with skill) Attachment to ideology The keys to success Start with realistic goals Define the end game Accept the following Budgets (time and money) Your ability Market realities Climate limitations Why I feel Permaculture when understood is the best of all worlds Resources for today’s show… 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 Madman Across the Water – On SongFacts Madman Across the Water – Elton John Sponsors of the Day The Berkey Guy Knife Kits Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

TweetDaniel Miller is President of the Texas Nationalist Movement and has been an outspoken advocate for Texas independence since 1996. As the head of one of the largest and most influential political organizations in Texas, Miller has extensively researched and engaged the issue of self-determination, not just for Texas, but as part of a growing global trend. He has been featured on every major news network and been interviewed by every major newspaper in Texas and around the world. A featured guest on FoxNews, CNN, CNBC, BBC News, RT-TV and many other news outlets, Miller has been a vocal proponent of a fundamental reexamination of the relationship between all states in the Federal union. In 2011 he authored Line in the Sand, his first book, which addresses the roots of Texas Nationalism and the practical implications of national self-identity for Texans. Taken from years of experience, Line In The Sand, has become a primer in the fundamentals of Texas Nationalism. Miller, a sixth generation Texan, was born and raised in Northeast Texas and currently resides in Southeast Texas with his wife, Cara. Both avid Texas Music fans, Daniel and Cara operate Radio Free Texas, one of the first online outlets for independent music created in Texas.

Tweet Today Steven Harris and I answer your questions on Bug Out Trailers.  This time discuss generators, sleeping in tents, building tent cities, dealing with insects, keeping temperatures down and cold food storage. This is the third in a multi part series that began with Episode-2117- Steven Harris and Jack Spirko on Bug Out Trailers. As this is clearly going to become a multi episode series I have created the tag BOT Shows so that all of them can be found at one location. The response to the first in the series was overwhelming, Steve compiled and sent me 14 pages of questions, I printed it out and it feels like a small book, and these are just questions and a few notes here and there. So we are going to run about 1 hour and 15 minutes on the interview and break it into pieces parts over the next few months.

TweetSpeckled Trout Ceviche so Fresh, The Gills are Still Moving Today we take a look at cooking that which swims or otherwise lives in water, both fresh and salt water.  I am doing this for a few reasons.  One it just seems like a fun and easy show right before a rare mid week holiday.  Next fishing and aquaponics are both great ways to live a modern survivalist lifestyle. The next way if fits our modern survival lifestyle is that while we all want more of the “good things” in our lives we must balance that with the reality that money is important.  We need to pay off all debt, save for our future, invest wisely, create businesses, etc.  Also we want to develop our homesteads, which is simply another form of investing.  All of this requires money. Now if you go out and order good seafood or fish in a good restaurant you are going to pay 75% to be served and 25% for the underlying food.  That will fluctuate a bit but in my experience it is pretty consistent.  So you can have one banging meal a month at some artsy fartsy place or 4-5 for the same money, and you can make it 6-8 if you get a bit creative. Even when you do totally splurge at home, you can fricken SPLURGE for real.  Like this pile of lobster Dorothy ate the day before our vacation began to celebrate our well earned time off. Now sure I had about 60 bucks in that meal but can you imagine what 8 lobster tails and small batch sausage like that would cost at even a low end restaurant?  Last time I was at a good place a dish with two tails was 25 bucks if you didn’t get anything to go with it.  So call that 100 bucks just in lobster. Now add in the sides and the 4 Mojitos I made for Dorothy and I before and after this dinner.  Those would easily be 12 bucks a piece.  Next add in the tip and the cost of a trip out and this much would be well over 200 bucks, more like 250.  Again you are going to pay about 25% for the food and 75% for the service. Now I like going to nice places, I am willing to pay for it from time to time but not all the time.  Any anytime we can do better in quality and cut a bill 75% or more, we are on track to live that better life, if times get tough or even if they don’t. Join Me Today to Discuss… Getting good quality fish and sea food Self caught or grown is best Freshly caught never frozen, may be, where do you live? Frozen is often your best bet, tune in to learn why Ceviche – the best thing most people never make Salt water only Some fantastic fish for this Snapper Whiting Trout (spec and sand) Scallops Anything salt water, light and delicate Super fresh ingredients Cook separately anything you would not eat raw (shrimp) Serve well chilled Get creative Fried fish The right temp 325-350 depending on the fish You can’t go wrong with Louisiana Fish Fry Of course you can make your own breading Yes I can do low carb fried fish, it is fricken easy to do Coat and let sit, one of the few things I learned about cooking from Grandmaw Oil must be at temp when the fish goes in Jalapeno tarter sauce is easy to make and bangin good Smaller pieces come out better Surface ratio Retains less grease Cooks faster All pieces finish at the same time Grilling Fish Different fish, different techniques Foil pouch Wood planks Direct Grilling Skinless Direct Grilling on the Half Shell Consider dill or sumac for any fish Grilled whole head on skin on fish – (Gochujang FTW) The number one mistake is over cooking Fish tacos Different fish have different techniques and advantages My chili seasoning in dry form, simplified and improved (recipe) Cook the fish almost done in a frying pan with oil, season then finish My new amazing carrot, cabbage and jalapeno slaw Guacamole done right!
