The Survival Podcast

Tweet Robert G (Bob) Brown has a bachelors degree in chemistry (SUNY Stony Brook) and a masters in computer science (New York Institute of Technology) but considers his pursuit of life long learning far more important than his formal education. He started out teaching science but has been an embedded computer systems engineer for three decades. As an engineer he is listed as the inventor on several patents and has written over a dozen articles on computer and electronic topics. He is a knowledgeable investor who has been expanding his investment strategies beyond just the financial for several years now. Born in the middle of the baby boom years, he is also focused on health and wellness so that he can keep pace with his two teenage children and remain an asset for them as he gets older. This has lead him to study and practice permaculture, which is an ethics based design system for meeting human needs while caring for the planet.  He joins us today with an engineers perspective on how automation is changing the world.

Tweet Today I am “calling and audible” and dedicating this show to Bill Mollison.  He is to date the greatest mentor I have that I have also never met.   Many are understandably sad at Bill’s passing, but I am less so.  In 2013 I spoke at length to his grandson and even that long ago the family knew Bill would not be here much longer. His family had come to as peace with it as anyone contemplating the loss of a loved one can.  Bill is the reason I even know what Permaculture is, as its’ creator that is true of everyone, but for me it was this rough old man that made me see Permaculture as something beyond purple breathing hippy stuff. Part of today’s episode is from Diego Footer’s Permaculture Voices Podcast where he reads a wonderful obituary for Bill, rather than redo that I thought I would just include it today. This piece was actually written by Graham Bell, you can find the transcript here.

TweetToday we are joined by Jordan Reed to discuss using dogs to control rodents.  Jordan hopes to educate and support organic and small scale farmers. His message is that a certified organic farm cannot use poisons in a food production area; A chicken coop is an egg or food production area. The most commonly used poisons are anti-coagulants, which causes the rodents’ blood to thin, resulting in bleeding from the eyes and internal organs. As no immediate effect is felt, a rodent may consume many times the mortal dose. A dosed rodent often suffers extreme thirst, and can be found wandering aimlessly from day 3-5, which is usually how long it takes for the animal to die. These poisons are considered one bite, one kill. As a dosed rodent wanders the landscape bleeding, what might happen? For a start, all predators prey on the sick and wounded, including owls and raptors, other land mammals follow. Bobcats are the only animal to exhibit any natural resistance to these types of poisons, and that is resistance not immunity. In short, to poison rats, you also inadvertently poison all natural and native predators along with your pets as well.

Tweet Despite this phraseology today’s show isn’t a play on Jeff Foxworthy’s you might be a red neck if.  Today we won’t be either poking fun at anarchists or talking about the things they do and say, as such.  Rather we are going to talk about the core of anarchism and reveal to many who thing anarchism is radical, dangerous, won’t work, etc, that they in fact are at their core already anarchists. How is this possible?  Well anarchism isn’t a way you vote like democrat, republican or even libertarian, it is a philosophy of morality at its core.  It actually comes down to core beliefs of right and wrong.  Such at taking the legitimate property of another is wrong.  Using force or coercion is wrong, period. It is a belief that you own yourself, and an acknowledgement that others also own themselves.  My hope is this show will reach many that are currently closed minded to anarchism.  Those who think “that can’t work” or “its never been done”, because frankly it has, you can read about it here. Beyond that though, humans have been on this planet for a long time.  The oldest human tools date to about 2.4 million years ago and were found in a cave in China.  Even if we shrunk that down to say 200,000 years, the state as a form of control is only about 5000 years old and it wasn’t everywhere at once.  Franky humans have lived as anarchists far longer as a species than we have lived as statists. Join Me Today to Discuss… Why you might be an anarchist and not know it The core beliefs of anarchists Theft is wrong no matter who does it Force is wrong unless it is used in defense People own themselves No person should be forced to participate in anything they don’t want to be part of The pragmatism of the modern anarchist It isn’t going to happen today or next week, or next decade The way you live is what you control Only a goal of no state can ever shrink the state Voluntary associations can exist now, so lets do that If you can solve a problem without the state, do so Technology is our greatest tool for human evolution How becoming an anarchist by choice changes your world view Might no longer makes right War becomes an absolute last resort You stop focusing on things outside of your control You find an “inner peace” not too dissimilar from some religions Your obligations increase they do not decrease You become a systems thinker and solutions orentied Final Thoughts Resources for today’s show… Join the Members Brigade The Year 1874 Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TSP Gear AgriTrue.com TspAz.com – Support TSP When You Shop on Amazon GrandaddysGun.Com Green Fields of France – Drop Kick Murphys 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.

Tweet14, Blood Smeared on My Face, and The Arrow Flew Well. Today we get a lighter show and I think we could use one.  I was happy to see this subject come in second place in the polls for September’s shows.  Those of us that grew up in the 70s and 80s may be the last generation of children who knew true freedom as children. We walked to the bus alone, many of us rode bikes several miles to school and to other activities.   We didn’t have social media and the internet, we grew up with sling shots, bb guns and old sing shot shotguns, that kicked like hell but were small enough for us to shoulder properly. We broke bones, skinned knees and fell out of trees, as long as no one was dead or paralyzed we just went on with life.  Scratches, scars and pain were teachers who taught us swiftly the consequences of stupidity. In this world a young blonde boy named Jack Spirko Jr. (his friends called him J.J.) grew up in two very different places.  Until he was 14 he wandered the Florida swamps, the shores of the St. Johns river and argued with Alligators on golf courses.  In the summer of 1986 he and his father piled into a very old Oldsmobile Station Wagon painted with honest to God black tire paint. With them they carried guns and the old man’s entire life savings in cash.  19 hours later they pulled into the Grandparent’s drive way.  The boy and his father spent the summer finding the family a new home.  The father returned to Florida to retrieve the rest of the family, the boy stayed behind and worked on his skills with a bow and took his hunters safety course.  Later that year he would take his first deer with a bow.  We will walk with this kid and remember what it was like growing up in the woods not so long ago.
