 Episode-2091- The Future of Homesteading in America | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:12:14

TweetFood From Back Yard to Stir Fry in Under 20 Minutes! Long ago in the first year of TSP, which would be 2008 I said something pretty close to this… Many are comparing the current interest in homestead to the earlier back to the land movements of the 70s and 30s both which fizzled out.  This time is different though, homestead is returning as simply being an American way of life and current forces will only make it stronger over time. So how has that worked out?  I would say that today there are more people “homesteading” then ten years ago, that number is growing and the only time there have been more people homesteading, is when almost everyone was doing it because they had to. Can I prove that?  Nope but based on my observations on and off line and my discussions on and off line, I find it to be a reasonable position to take.  Today we examine this phenomenon and examine its potential evolving future. Join Me Today to Discuss… Why homesteading has become so popular in the last decade Because it works It improves lives, health and economics of families and individuals Because it is fun and innately human Because of the internet What we can expect to see growth of in the future Green houses and screen houses Aquaponics Aquatics Urban (small scale) homesteading Micro greens and quick return crops Back yard orchards and berry patches Back yard livestock Automation Community development The primary skill sets that will become common again Composting Gardening Food Preservation Animal Husbandry Several Additional Factors to Consider A rapidly changing economy and employment sector The propensity to “double up” (multi generation homes) The growing desire to simplify “pair down” etc. A growing dissatisfaction with “faster, better, cheaper, more” Final Thoughts Resources for today’s show… Join the Members Brigade The Year 61 Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TspAz.com The Granddaddy’s Gun Club Bullhead Fishing Forum – A new little site I started Learning to Fly – Tom Petty Sponsors of the Day Bulk Ammo JM Bullion Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

TweetToday is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally, Episode-521- Why I Think The Way I Do and was originally published on September 30th, 2010. The following are the original show notes from that episode. When I talk to folks that have not listened to TSP and they ask me what I do today I generally start with “I run a podcast”, many then need to have me explain what a podcast is. Often there is disbelief that this is actually what I do for a living but soon the questions begin about “well what is your show about?” I often soft sell it at first and start with, “I do a show about self reliance and self sufficiency, about how to do everything from stay out of debt to growing your own food and being prepared for things like natural disasters”. I generally now find myself with one of three types of people… The true the world is going to end believer – They are the worst of the three! Generally I start hearing about The Book of Revelation, etc. The prepper/modern survivalist – recently some of these types have even gone, OH YOUR THAT GUY! This is kind of cool when it happens. The person who hasn’t really thought about it. – I love meeting these people! Most want to know more if for no other reason that the fact that I don’t have a j-o-b just doesn’t make sense Eventually though we get into some level of philosophical discussion and unless the person is a listener they are always some what surprised by my view. Most want to know why I have the beliefs I do, why I don’t fully trust the system but don’t write it fully off either and why even though I am a “survivalist” I seem so moderate and well, normal. I am not sure how “normal” I really am but I figured if total strangers wanted to know about this stuff than perhaps your guys would as well. Join me today as I tell you about my life and why I think the way I do including… My family was poor, but I never knew that to be the case I grew up in the woods and holding a rifle I have grown food almost my entire life (took a break in the Army) I served in the military in the 3rd World I became “successful” in the main stream world I am a “trouble shooter” (aka problem solver) I analyze anything I find interesting I remember the details of things, like in a freaky sort of way I am never satisfied that I have learned enough I know the reality of how fragile life and life styles are To me liberty is the most precious thing a man can have I gave up on political affiliation I have given up as much of my personal prejudice as I am humanly capable of I accept that I am at times going to be completely wrong I know I can’t predict the future but I can be prepared for it anyway I believe above all else that I am in control of my life, I know I am NOT a victim I recognize modern slavery as self inflicted I want to help others but understand in the end they must choose for themselves I most want people to know WHY they believe WHAT they believe Additional Resources for Today’s Show Members Support Brigade TSP Gear Shop Join Our Forum One Year Anniversary Show 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.

Today in America despite the mortgage meltdown and other economic problems more people then ever own their own homes. The problem though is we have gone from a nation of Homesteaders to a nation of debt laden home owners, ownership is not even the correct term. Mortgage has turned into long term rental for many. In today’s show we discuss… How to turn your home from a consumer to producer How buying regional can lead to more independence Elimination of debt as part of homesteading The best crops to begin gardening with How growing food can lead to freedom How a mortgage was NOT part of the original homesteading process Making your home provide for you vs. you having to provide for your home How solar and green energy can help you be more independent The salmonella scare and genetically altered plants are yet another reason to “grow your own” How the Internet is helping us all reconnect and inspire each other The “smaller home concept” and even how to adapt it to a large home Tossing a bit of politics in, does the media favor Obama?

 Episode-2089- Mike Centex on Hurricane Harvey and CAC Teams | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:38:51

TweetMike is a PermaEthos founder and MSB member, a past presenter at TSP workshops and more recently a new Citizens Assisting Citizens team member when he found himself at ground zero of Hurricane Harvey in Houston, TX. Upon hearing the “Get Out, Get Out, Get Out” warnings from Jack Spirko, Mike, knowing he was based in a high elevation, flood free area, set up the first CAC Team safe haven/FOB in Houston the Day Harvey made landfall. He and his entire family spent the next 10 days coordinating CAC Team efforts to direct rescuers, donations and supplies, safely, to the accessible locations in need around Houston and the Beaumont/Port Arthur area. Having lived in the area a lifetime, his knowledge of the area and roadways was extremely beneficial to CAC Team responders coming in from out of state. With the assistance of Steven Harris and the entire CAC team nationwide, Mike and his family housed CAC responders, maintained constant contact on current needs and impacted areas, personally accompanied delivery of over 5,000 pounds of donated supplies to Houston area evacuation shelters. Mike monitored flooding and road conditions around the Beaumont impacted area and he helped the CAC Team to guide additional tons of supplies to CAC responders on the ground in and around the flooded areas of Beaumont. At the same time, Mike’s Wife and children assembled 100’s of emergency hygiene and disaster cleanup kits on their dining room table, that were immediately distributed to flood victims in the Humble/Kingwood area of Houston. Mike Video Chronicled the events from the day before landfall through the aftermath on his YouTube channel “Mike Centex Life”. Mike journaled extensively during the disaster and has learned many valuable lessons on how best to respond, communicate, and manage internal and external operations in the middle of an ongoing disaster area. He also shows how clear communications with those coming into a disaster area can make the difference between delivering the supplies needed by victims and not showing up from a multi-state commute with prom dresses and winter coats for victims of a summer hurricane. As Mike Tyson is famous for quoting, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”. When you unwittingly find yourself at ground zero of a disaster, you’re going to take some serious punching and plans will fall apart everyday. Mike’s current mission goal is to teach preparedness minded people on how to duck as many of those punches as possible, while in the operating in the eye of the disaster.

The trees require very little maintenance and most of our desired infrastructure is now installed.  Still we are constantly trying and testing out new things.  This year we have found some really great gems of knowledge and we have also come up with some quite refined plans for our future. A lot of the new stuff is going to be built in winter, because here in north Texas that is the most pleasant time of year for construction work and out door projects.  Today I am going to do an old school sort of “chat with Jack” episode on what has worked well this year and where we are taking that knowledge to in the future. Join Me Today to Discuss…. The aviary and aquaponics system has become a great asset in need of tweaking The timber frame pond (Miyagi) is the most trouble free aquatic system I’ve built Thai water spinach is an amazing and delicious plant Peppers do fantastic at 60% shade here in Texas anyway Tomato blight continues to be the bane of my existence Elevated ponds and gardens are the way forward due to the ducks Our in ground pond is pretty much a disaster, we may have to nuke it Bluegill and other sunfish are about the most trouble free and economically viable protein here in Texas Bullheads do not seem to be a good aquaponics option A Steven Harris Battery Bank and a cooler make a great live well Plans for this winter Build a bigger, better Miyagi Grow out koi for the Miyagi’s Develop a large wicking bed system that is 100% duck proof Design a planting plan for the new and old systems Meat chicken run in 2018, no new ducks this time Take another go at the orchard that failed Duck Free Zones and an Outdoor Kitchen Look to simplify systems and automate everything Final thoughts Resources for today’s show… Join the Members Brigade Join Our Forum The Year 59 Walking To Freedom TSP Gear TspAz.com – support TSP when you shop on Online Grandaddy’s Gun Club Bullhead Fishing Information The Lodge Cast Iron Wok – Item of the Day GunWerks – Youtuber of the Day There Was a Time – Tom Fogerty Sponsors of the Day Western Botanicals Ready Made Resources Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

 Episode-2086- Expert Council Q&A for 9-15-17 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:30:07

Tweet Today its Friday so it’s time for expert council show. To ask a question for a show like this, just send an email to me at jack at thesurvivalpodcast.com with “TSPC Expert” in the subject line. Today the expert council answers questions on vehicles, alternative health, plants, cooking, ETF investing, concealed carry, old guns and more. 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.
