Today we are joined by Billy Bond to discuss taking back control of your food, your health, and your vitality. We will look at why health itself is a preparedness skill and why producing some of your own food may be one of the most important steps you can take toward real independence. This is not just about having a garden or storing some extra food. It is about understanding the systems that keep you alive and becoming less dependent on systems you have little or no control over. Billy and I will dig into what we have outsourced when … Continue reading →
A time bomb is ticking, and it is the kind of bomb you can not disarm. We all hear it. We keep hoping some fiscal bomb squad will show up and shut it down, but deep down, we know they are not coming. The question is not if the bomb goes off. It is when, and what the aftermath looks like. Run from the blast radius? You can not. Forty trillion dollars in US federal debt is more powerful than any weapon we have ever detonated. But this bomb does not level a city overnight. It corrodes and breaks down … Continue reading →

Today we are joined by Ryan Steva to discuss how to build a practical backup power plan that goes well beyond simply buying a generator and hoping for the best. We will look at how to prepare for the most likely outages first, define what you actually need to keep running, and build a system over time instead of overspending on equipment that may not fit your real needs. We will dig into why Ryan strongly dislikes whole home standby generators, when a larger generator actually makes sense, and how smaller inverter generators and portable power stations can work together … Continue reading →
When you talk about dehydrating food many jump right to the prepper angle. And not just the common sense prepping angle we make part of lifestyle design at TSPC. No the 500 buckets ready to ride out the zombie apocalypse kind of prepping. The truth though is dehydrating is likely mans oldest form of food preservation along with perhaps salting, which is honestly just another form of dehydration. The reason is obvious. First it works for many foods and all you really need to do it is sunshine during the dry season. Today though we have affordable and efficient machines … Continue reading →
Today we launch something new on The Survival Podcast and it has been a while since we have, so we are due for a shake up. Today we begin something we are going to call Monday Mayhem going forward. Monday shows will now be very old school in feel if you have been around TSPC since the first few years. Less polish, less visual aids in the live streams just be riffing on a few topics and what ever is on my mind after the weekend heading into the new week. Show notes will mostly be 4-6 bullet point, thin … Continue reading →

Today we are joined by Dalton Bradshaw of New Candle Cottages to discuss off frame modular homes and whether they can offer a realistic path back toward the American dream of home ownership. With conventional housing costs putting more pressure on buyers, we look at how modular construction compares with both manufactured homes and traditional site built houses. We will dig into what these homes actually cost, including price per square foot and the types of monthly payments buyers are seeing. Dalton will also explain financing options, including land and home packages, delivery ranges, and wh
Today we go with an old school style just Jack variety show. We will lead off with a gun topic which is always fun. The folks at Kel-Tec released the Nub SUB-SDP this year, is it worth owning and why might nub have more than one meaning here. Trump changed the vaccine schedule, why it is good news and why all criticism is baseless. In the same lane we now know Fauci new miscarriages were a risk for pregnant women who got the CoVid vaccine. Then onto some Bitcoin news, BIP-110 died as soon as it activated, just as I … Continue reading →

Today we are joined by Vin Armani to discuss his new book, The Vineyard and The Vessel, and what it has to say about sovereignty, empire, tradition, production, and the structure of human society. We will examine the idea of sovereignty as a vertical relationship under a Divine Landlord, rather than a simple claim to land based on force, legal paperwork, or how long someone has occupied it. We will also discuss the difference between importing capital goods and importing endless cargo. One gives people the tools to produce. The other turns them into permanent consumers while local knowledge, s
Today we have our first Tuesday Coffee Chat with John Willis of SOE Tactical Gear and Nicole Sauce of Living Free in Tennessee. These discussions are always a wildcard and can go anywhere. We usually hit on some current events of course. We also tend to talk about things like entrepreneurship, homesteading and a ton more.

Today we are joined by David Stelzer to discuss the story of Azure Standard and what it takes to build real food resilience in an age of fragile supply chains, declining soil health and centralized food distribution. We will look at how one family walked away from conventional farming practices long before organic food became popular, and how the challenges they faced led to the creation of one of the largest independent organic food networks in America. We will also dig into the problems within the modern food system and what families can do to regain control over where their … Continue readi
Today we discuss 18 animals that “everyone knows are terrible to eat” but everyone is also wrong about. I hear it all the time, salt water catfish are disgusting, bullheads eat mud, feral hogs are inedible and pigeons are just rats with wings. None of this is based on anything approaching reality. What it actually amounts to is a combination of factors. The first factor is that people in the US and the western world in general are spoiled. I could have made this list a lot longer to be honest. We live in a world where 95% of people … Continue reading →

Today we are joined by CJ Lafferty to discuss blackhead disease, one of the most destructive and frustrating problems facing anyone raising turkeys on pasture. After losing nearly half of his flock for two years in a row, CJ decided he was not going to accept those losses as inevitable. He began observing, experimenting, and testing practical management changes that a small farmer or homesteader could actually use. We will dig into what blackhead disease is, how it spreads, why it is so difficult to eliminate, and why many of the common assumptions about it are wrong. CJ will share … Continue
Today we pause and take a look at various news, technical and political news going on in the world. We will lead off with me keeping a promise, I was wrong, Darleen Graham is chasing the “ring of power” after all. We also talk about the idiotic idea of permanent daylight savings time, who controls the Strait of Hormuz and coming pop of the AI bubble. Then we will talk about the real lesson of the “explosive diarrhea lettuce” story and finish up today with 6 pillars of liberty you are going to need with what comes next. Join Me … Continue reading →

Kyle Beaver joins us today to discuss building food and income self sufficiency through specialty mushroom cultivation, then using documented farm income to gain access to USDA land programs most people have never heard of. This is not a story about buying a giant farm, borrowing a fortune and hoping it all works out. Kyle started with $300, limited land and no farming background. We will dig into why specialty mushrooms made sense, how he found buyers and what it took to build a real business while still working a full time job. We will also discuss lion’s mane as … Continue reading →
Today we start with the penny being dead, the nickel being gutted and cash looking like it may be next in line. We also have a new study about liberals and conservatives that appears to confirm what most people already knew. Lindsey Graham has passed away. I do not care, and I will explain why. We will also talk about the false nostalgia people have for stick shifts, records and similar things. In many cases, what they actually miss is not the thing itself. Solar and farms can work together, but many of the people who should be championing that … Continue reading →

Today we are joined by Andrew Impson to discuss home security for the everyday person. This is a practical discussion about how normal people can think about defending their homes in layers, identifying vulnerabilities before someone else does, and building a realistic security plan without turning life into paranoia. We will talk about how criminals assess homes and choose targets, why mindset and routine awareness matter, and how simple things like lighting, layout, neighbors, terrain, and daily habits can either increase or reduce your risk. Home security is not just about buying a camera,
