Along with why he currently is producing in depth analytical content on current events from a liberty centered point of view.

TweetToday is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally, Episode-635- Creating Your Vision of Liberty and originally aired on March 30th, 2011. I chose this show for today because it tells the story of listeners who early on in the history of this show totally transformed their lives.  And it then inspired many more such transformations.  I decided that it was time for these stories to be told once again.  In hopes that it will once again inspire more people to make that positive change in their own lives. The notes below are the original notes from that episode. Today we hear from two listeners who have found their own path to individual liberty.  Not in some Utopian sense of some mythical new nation that recognizes the liberty we claim to recognize in America today, rather they have claimed their own personal liberty their own way. Both of these couples said, screw it and JUST DID IT, and not in the cliche way of the Nike catch phrase.  They took decisive action, they stated their intent, they designed a road map and they acted.  Today my hope is many of our listeners will do the same in their own lives.  Freedom is something no man or woman can define for another, by its very nature it is individualized. Join me today as we discuss… How a simple post in the forum changed many lives How one listener spent two years and gained back 15 How a couple in NJ, changed with out moving far, for now How you begin your path to finding your own vision of liberty You don’t have to be rich to live like a broke ass redneck That broke ass redneck is probably happier then you are Why you must define what you don’t like to find what you do like Why what you think you hate may not actually be what you hate How figuring out what you love can lead you to more of it The moments etched into your soul are your key to personal freedom Why 99.9% of ships reach their ports on time and what it teaches us The difference between simple and easy and why it matters Additional Resources for Today’s Show Members Support Brigade TSP Gear Shop Join Our Forum 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-1341- The Basics of Fishing Gear and originally aired on  May 6th, 2014. The notes below are the original notes from that episode. Unlike many rewinds though this show does have about 10 minutes of new content where I discuss some of the things going on at Nine Mile Farm right now.  This topic also fits very nicely with today’s TSP Amazon Item of the Day. A Small Surf Caught Pompano that became Sashimi While at Sanibel Island I did a LOT of fishing.  Had a blast as the surf was pretty good to me for the first half of the trip.  About mid way into it, the ocean just got really rough and turbid and it really wasn’t worth the effort at that point. I always enjoy fishing and frankly the last year was so full of work not much of it got done.  I enjoy fishing in fresh and salt water, in bays, estuaries, the surf, rivers, streams, creeks, hell I would fish a puddle if I thought there was a fish in it. Surf fishing is hard to beat though, just for pure variety and the “never know what you will catch next” factor.  Over the years I have both caught and watched others catch some really interesting stuff just surf fishing the guts and bars on the beaches. Here is a list of the species I caught while on vacation in the Sanibel Island Surf… Spanish Mackerel Permit Snook Ladyfish Whiting Gafftop Sail Catfish Hard Head Catfish Jack Cravalle Blue Runner Speckled Sea Trout It was an absolute blast.  As always though when I am in a place where fishing is popular I see a ton of other fishermen.  Some are really switched on, some are specialists, like the guys fly casting to snook.  But there are always some who are well, just not quite “getting it”. From rods that are too heavy to giant weights and hooks or God knows what else, you see a lot of things that just don’t work when you go fishing where others are fishing too.  This got me thinking, why not do a TSP fishing series. So we are going to start that today, here is the plan for all the shows in this series… Episode One -The basics of gear, rods, hooks, weights, reels, etc. (Today) Episode Two – Fishing rivers and streams Episode Three – Fishing the surf and bays and piers, etc. Episode Four – Lakes Episode Five – All about boats and hiring guides Episode Six – “Unconventional Methods” – Jugging, Trot Lines, Bank Lines, etc. If there is anything else you would want added to that list, let me know.  I am not going to focus much of artificals today but will pepper thoughts on them into most of the episodes as the situations discussed demand. For Today this is What We Will Cover Rods and reels (bait casting, spinning, fly, cane, etc) Types of fishing line, mono, braided, fluoro Hooks, bait holder, khale, circle, long shank (Aberdeen and Siwash), treble Weights, split shots, casting, slip, rubber core and more Nets and gaffs Bait containers, stringers, coolers, etc Floats, round, stick, slip, fly bubbles, etc. Clippers, pliers, first aid stuff, hand towel, gloves, etc. Some basic tips that always apply Fish relate to structure and edges Use the lightest gear that is suitable If you are getting no action, move, change baits, etc. don’t just wait Talk to others, read “fishing reports” If you are going to fish often in one place keep notes Target species or “go for anything” based on the situation Learn “feel”, “hook set” and “play” (find easy action) Have fun, don’t overdue it Resources for today’s show… Join the MSB The Year 1341 Join Our Forum 13Skills.com Join Our Forum TSP Gear PermaEthos.com BrinkOfFreedom.net Bulk Ammo – (sponsor of the day) Ready Made Resources – (sponsor of the day) Raw Fish at the Beach Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast[...]

TweetToday is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally, Episode-858- Lierre Keith on The Vegetarian Myth and originally aired on March 13, 2012. The notes below are the original notes from that episode. I am doing a rewind episode today because I once again have to drive to Granbury which to and back will take over two hours out of my day.  This was due to incompetence at Tractor Supply! Additionally we are behind on being ready for the Spring Workshop and I need to get caught up.  We were rained out this weekend on a lot of stuff that needs doing outside.  TSP will return to our usual programming tomorrow. Lierre Keith Author of The Vegetarian Myth I first found Lierre Keith on Peak Moment TV being interviewed by Janaia Donaldson.  She is the author of a book highly recommended by Robb Wolf called, “The Vegetarian Myth”.  When I heard her explain many of the roots of why we are told veganism is so good for us I knew I had to bring her on TSP. The Forward of The Vegetarian Myth explains, “We’ve been told that a vegetarian diet can feed the hungry, honor the animals, and save the planet. Lierre Keith believed in that plant-based diet and spent twenty years as a vegan. But in The Vegetarian Myth, she argues that we’ve been led astray–not by our longings for a just and sustainable world, but by our ignorance. The truth is that agriculture is a relentless assault against the planet, and more of the same won’t save us. In service to annual grains, humans have devastated prairies and forests, driven countless species extinct, altered the climate, and destroyed the topsoil–the basis of life itself. Keith argues that if we are to save this planet, our food must be an act of profound and abiding repair: it must come from inside living communities, not be imposed across them.

TweetNote – I am running a rewind today for a few reasons.  One is that the new ducks are coming in either tomorrow or Thursday and I need to get everything ready. Additionally  I have to go out to Granburry to buy some stock tanks to plumb into our aquaponics system this weekend.  Normally this is a much shorter trip but someone out there bought all the 100 gallon tanks at my Tractor Supply, and you know who you are LOL. I also need to get all the new stands built for that system this week and need some more lumber to get that done. Lastly my voice is a wreck from this current cold or flu or whatever it is, I barely got though yesterdays show, so it seems like a good day to rest my vocal cords and get shit done! Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes.

Several dozen of you told me that this article sounded like 8 things I say often on TSP. So rather than read the article at all I decided to do the show based just on the 8 tenets of Franklin and see how much in sync we really are or are not.  One thing for sure old Ben’s advice seems quite timeless to me.
