The Survival Podcast

TweetToday is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally, Episode-802- Permaculture Misconception vs. Reality and was first published on Dec. 13th 2011.   The following are the original show notes from that episode. The Forest is the Teacher, Not the End Goal – Photo Credit to Axel-D via Flickr I keep quite a few things set up on Google New Alerts.  That is where you run a search for a term on Google News and ask them to send you an email when ever a given word or phrase pops up in the news.  So as you might imagine I do this for terms like “pandemic”, “economic collapse”, “natural disaster” and many others related to the preparedness industry. I also have terms set up that are more on subjects connected to basic self sufficiency and homesteading.   As you might imagine I include the term “permacuture”.  The other day that alert sent me a link to an article called, “Traditional Farming in the Rain Forest”, it led to an article that was a scathing retort on permaculture calling it basically useless. The author gets almost every single part wrong.  It wasn’t that we disagree mind you it was that his claims and assertions were simply 100% inaccurate.  Despite this it  has helped me to better understand many of the objections I hear about permaculture.  Today I plan to discuss them and try to answer some of these objections, hopefully with a now better understanding of what the objection is really all about. Join me today as I discuss… 1 Prime Directive + 3 Ethics = Permaculture Common Objections to Permaculture (none of which are based on reality) The Rain Forest can’t feed as many people per acre as a farm If we don’t do anything and let nature take its course we will starve We need annual crops too not just perennials Permaculture only produces weird things no one eats Permaculture is limited to forest gardening All permaculture amounts to is good organic gardening Permaculture is all about growing food and plants We can’t have productivity with out fertilizer and irrigation We have to till soil to plant modern crop Resources for Today’s Show… Members Support Brigade TSP Gear Shop Join Our Forum Traditional Farming in the Rain Forest – (Misguided article I read today on air) Podcast I did with Paul Wheaton – Lessons From the Forest (Warning Paul’s standards for language are lower then mine on TSP, the f word does get used.)

TweetToday is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally, Episode-561- Building Your Own Long Term Rations and was first published on Dec. 1st 2010.   The following are the original show notes from that episode. Last week a listener asked about question about building your own meals for a bug out bag or for back packing etc.  As it was a feed back show I gave the 5 minute answer to the question.  Today we dig deeper, I will give you some methods of creating long term storeable but ready to cook rations to supplement products like Mountain House, etc.  These recipes are more about building bases first and then customizing them to taste. Join me today to learn… Why create your own rations You know what goes in them Utilize your gardens production Easily scale them up and down (home and away) Save money One day it may be the only choice Recipes The vegetable soup base The chili base The potato/chowder base Tips and Tricks Why you should carry rice/beans separately Dehydrated beans and lentils are your friends Small packets for seasonings and certain items Vac sealers are great but not the only choice Getting meat into the picture Hunt/Trap Canned Meats Dehydrated Meats (biltong and jerkey) Freeze Dried (repackaged) TVP – When all else fails Fruits and Nuts and other Stuffs Dried berries, raisins etc. add flavor sweetness Flour is versatile and lasts a long time vac sealed Sardines and other canned fish (shrimp/clam chowder) Pastas – (think mini and cut spaghetti) Resources for Today’s Show Members Support Brigade TSP Gear Shop Join Our Forum Western Botanicals – (sponsor of the day) Knife Kits – (sponsor of the day) Word Doc with my Soup Bases (right click and save as for best results) Harmony House Dehydrated Foods (source I mentioned of some really cool items) Members Support Brigade Ron Hood’s Survival.com Magazine Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

TweetMost of today’s show is a recreation of 2008’s Christmas special. Today we pause and take a moment to reflect on Christmas and how it has become the Holiday we celebrate today. Many American’s have no idea just how Christmas became unique here in America, the role it played in bringing our nation together after two wars of independence and the civil war. Christmas is special and a time to pause and reflect. Christmas is indeed a special time of year, today I will cover many aspects of it that may make this Christmas just a bit more special. There is also a full text transcription on of the non commercial portion of today’s show in the show notes below. Tune in today to hear about… Christmas was banned in England at one time and even parts of America Early Americans didn’t really celebrate Christmas, (congress was in session on Dec 25th, 1789) In the early 1800s Christmas was a rowdy holiday spurred by class conflict, turmoil and unemployment In 1819, best-selling author Washington Irving wrote The Sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon bringing us many “ancient customs”, he simply invented Leading up to the Civil War, Christmas was a “southern holiday” and Thanksgiving a “northern holiday” How Christmas and Thanksgiving together helped to heal a young America Today is a time to pause, reflect and just be, prepping, planning and stress will all wait patiently for you Different ending music for today’s show! The most beautiful version of Oh Holly Night I have ever heard, just pause, listen and realize what really matters while it plays.

TweetAaron Dorr is a Michigan born native. Growing up in rural northern Michigan has its advantages for a young boy and he spent most of his youth in the woods hunting and otherwise learning about the great outdoors. At 17 he enlisted in the USMC reserve and after his initial year of training returned home to serve out his contract with 6th ESB, start a family, and earn his degree from Northwood University. In recent years his gravitation toward the outdoors has only increased as he has discovered his new addiction to trapping. In June of 2017 he launched Bandit’s Outdoor Supply LLC,  a small start up with a mission to get you into the woods, swamps, and marshes of this great country.  He joins us today to discuss trapping as a skill set, a hobby, a source of income and a source of meat.

Tweet Given this will be the last “Just Jack Show” of 2017 I figured we should end on a positive note.  Preppers are often cast as the doomsday bunker type by many, not just the Hollywood crowd.  I remember not long ago a guy saw one of my TSP T-shirts at a local store, he said, so you are a prepper?  My response was, I sure am. His next question was, “so when do you think its gonna happen”?  I knew what he meant but replied with, “when whats gonna happen”?  He responded with, “you know, it”?  I looked at him like he was crazy, he kinda was and say, “it what”?  Then he let it out, quietly of course looking around to make sure no spies were listening, “the big one, the collapse, when the entire thing crashes to the ground”. I explained that is now what we do, he explained that he had started watching shows about stuff and was very concerned by hadn’t actually done anything about it yet.  I gave him the website address and went on with my day.  Such is the misunderstood life of a modern survivalist.   The reality is the true modern survivalist should be among the happiest and most optimistic people on the planet.

TweetToday is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally, Episode-1976- Why I Switched to Aquaponics and was first published on April 4th, 2017. Here are some resources mentioned in today’s new introduction.  The video playlist of the new aquaponics project is here and the Gerber EAB Lite Item of the Day his here. You can also find the video for I Won’t Be Home for Christmas by Blink182 here and the LED Lights I am trialing here. The following are the original show notes from that episode. A Simple Flood and Drain Bed Made With a 14 Gallon Mixing Tray Right out of the gate “switched” may not be the best word here, but it certainly applies to my growing of annual vegetables. It may have been a better title to have said, “Why I Changed My Mind About Aquaponics. Today I want to take a new look at aquaponics and try to demystify it a bit so that it is a bit more approachable at the small end of the scale to anyone. The reality though is until recently I always looked at aquaponics this way, “what a great thing, for other people to do”. I wasn’t opposed to it, I just had my own ways and well they worked. Well until I moved to this limestone ledge we call a farm. I met a good friend named David and he told me how much food they were producing on their small property and together we designed the systems I now run on my property. Today I will talk about them and give you some simple ways to get started for a few hundred dollars with 100% off the shelf prices. Join Me Today to Discuss…. What is aquaponics in a nut shell The three main grow beds and what they are best for Ebb and Flow (aka flood and drain) Deep Water Raft Wicking Beds Additional components Choosing a Pump What makes a bulkhead a good bulkhead The basics of a bell siphon A simple flood and drain system and a few options on building it 100 Gallon Stock Tank with 4 Ebb and Flow Beds $310.00 150 Gallon Stock Tank with 6 or more Ebb and Flow Beds $460.00 3 x 100 Gallon Stock Tanks with 6 or more Ebb and Flow Beds $560.00 300 Gallon Stock Tank with 6 or more Ebb and Flow Beds $570.00 Add $90.00 to the above prices for the larger pump Incorporating deep water or wicking into these designs The value of shade cloth or eastern sun and western shade Some additional ideas and thoughts Adding a duck weed biofilter bed How to make an “aquarium siphon” Protecting your pump with a bucket or a bag When IBCs make a lot of sense Lava Rock, Expanded Shale and Expanded Clay Pebbles Plant propagation with ebb and flow Replanting produce with ebb and flow Final thoughts Resources for today’s show… Join the Members Brigade The Year 1976 Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TSP Gear PermaEthos.com TspAz.com – Support TSP When You Shop Amazon My Playlist on Aquatic and Aquaponic Systems Rob Bob’s Backyard Farming Channel – Lots of Aquaponics Rubbermaid Stock Tanks at Tractor Supply The 3/4 inch bulkheads for the concrete food and drain beds Pump I recommend for larger systems (I use this in my aquatic system of garden ponds) Pump I recommend for small systems (huge bang for the buck) Danner Pond Pump Protection Bag Python Aquarium Vacuum Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

Tweet I have been getting tons of questions on Cryptocurrency and while I know some members of the audience sort of are tuning out on this subject, I ran a poll on our Facebook Group today and this won hands down. Additionally I felt if I did this episode I could condense the subject to a single show for those not overly excited about it and let most other questions on crypto go to our new Expert Council member Ben Fitts of CryptoGulch.  I try hard to not let any one subject dominate the show and our subject matter. This is one though I think you avoid at your own peril, even if you never invest a dime, this is something you need to understand.  Major shifts will come, there will be winners and losers, but crypto and blockchain are not going a way.  The governments and banks are not going to shut them down either, if they could do so they already would have done so. This is the single biggest thing to happen to “money” in the life of any living human being.  And the government can say it isn’t money all they want, anything that is a medium of exchange is money. I also obtained the majority of content for today’s show in a follow up post on the facebook group.  This group is not the TSP official business page, it is a private group you have to ask to join, no one can see what you post as a member unless they are also a member and posts are not sharable beyond the group.  We like it that way.  So if you are not a member this is a good reason to join, ability to influence show content.  You can find the group here, TSP Members Only Facebook Group.

He holds a Diploma in Permaculture Education, Design, Implementation, System Establishment, Administration and Community Development. Both of these were awarded by the founder of Permaculture, Bill Mollison. Geoff has undertaken thousands of jobs teaching, consulting, designing, administrating and implementing, in 6 continents and close to 50 countries around the world. Clients have included private individuals, groups, communities, governments, aid organizations, non-government organizations and multinational companies. He has currently educated over 15,000 students in Permaculture worldwide. These include graduates of the Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) Course and courses focused on the practical design of sustainable soil, water, plant, animal, energy, structures, legal and economic systems. Geoff has embraced the technology age. Not only is he the driving force behind the World Wide Permaculture Network (created in 2011), he also has an online training and education website named Geofflawton.com. Geoff established Geofflawton.com in 2013 with the aim of educating as many people as possible in Permaculture and environmental sustainability. He has released Permaculture educational and inspirational films to his members regularly throughout each year and holds one Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) Course event per calendar year. In 1996 he was accredited with the Permaculture Community Services Award by the Permaculture movement for services in Australia and around the world. In October 1996 Bill Mollison, upon his retirement, asked Geoff to establish and direct a new Permaculture Research Institute of Australia (PRI Australia) on the 147-acre Tagari Farm. The Institute was a global networking centre for Permaculture projects. It is currently located at Zaytuna Farm at The Channon in Northern NSW, Australia. Geoff is the Managing Director. The institute is a self funded non-profit company limited by guarantee. The institute has since founded PRI USA, PRI Jordan, PRI Sunshine Coast. Other Permaculture Research Institutes that have been launched or are in the process of being launched including: PRI Canada, PRI Chile, PRI Turkey, PRI Greece and PRI Afghanistan.
