Bug-A-Salt 2.0 Insect Eradication Gun – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 15

saltgun

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.

Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the Bug-A-Salt 2.0 Insect Eradication Gun. I decided it was time for something that was just fun for an Item of the Day.  And this thing is fun.  Here is how it works, you put a bit of salt in it.  Not fancy kosher or sea salt, plain very fine table salt.  You cock it, and find a fly, flip off the safety and BAM!  Dead fly!

Range is about 2-3 feet for effective killing, which is pretty easy to get in range of on a fly.  Is this a practical tool?  In some ways yes it is.  You know when a fly is up in top of a window and you just can’t smack it in a recessed area, well now, BAM! Dead fly.

Or you know that one fly that torments you and you just can’t get a crack at him.  There ain’t no hunting regulation about baiting flies boy.  Put out a bit of scrap, hide by the fridge and when he comes BAM! Dead fly.

Okay but seriously it is just fun to blast the shit out of a fly with salt.  This thing is inherently safe fun as well.  About the only real injury it might cause if if you shot someone or yourself in the face so don’t do that.  Salt is not a aerodynamic substance so at about 4 feet it is pretty much done and done.  It only shots a tiny amount per shot.  What I am saying is you can set any responsible child or adult loose with it and not worry too much.

So check out the Bug-A-Salt 2.0 Insect Eradication Gun today and have some good, clean, salty fun.  And hey if you keep chickens, consider giving some lightly salted flies to them after your hunting trips.

Episode-2674- The Time to Get Out of the Cities Has Long Since Come

Episode-2673- The Time to Get Out of the Cities Has Long Since Come [ 1:11:06 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

I would say that the most current crises of CoVid and the Riots should be the final nail in the coffin if you have not already seen the writing on the wall.  Life in large cities is just not a good life for humans, it is no longer necessary to make a good living and truthfully it just keeps getting worse.

And as the title indicates as bad as they are, they really are not the final straw as that really fell long ago.  Large scale high density cities are in my view at best a failed experiment and at worst one of the primary methods of controlling a population.  I recently discussed aspects of this in a recent episode where I compared cities to ticks, in that they are a resource sink.

Some on social media thought this was an attack on people in cities, it was not, it was an attack on the system of cities themselves.  When you treat a person in any unnatural way they behave in an unnatural manner, not unlike what happens when tourists ignore the signs that say, “do not feed the bears”.

Join Me Today as We Discuss…

  • Why did men create cities?
    • To centralize power
    • To centralize production
    • To justify taxation
  • How have humans traditionally lived for most of out history
    • Small settlement
    • Population was highly controlled though various means
    • Any space not in a controlled territory was considered “common”
    • Wars were rare and always short
    • Resource use was not exceeded
    • Disasters were naturally mitigated
  • Why do people live in cities today
    • The most common reason is really being born there
    • The next most common reason is “opportunity”
  • What you really get from cities
    • Less freedom (in life and business)
    • More taxes
    • Lower air quality
    • More pollution in general
    • Less wild life
    • Greater risk of disease
    • More violent crime
  • What are the options for “getting out of the city”
    • The Urban Rural Fringe (Nine Mile Farm)
    • The true small town (Shabogeanville)
    • Way out here (the sticks ala Josh Thompson)
  • Only you can know what is right for you
  • What one solution may look like that can be duplicated
    • Small settlements that reclaim old towns or create new ones
    • Economies are built on a local first mindset
    • Common areas tend to be “wild”
    • Managed common areas are managed by volunteers
    • Communities have a planned maximum size
    • Communities trade first with other communities before the rest of the world
  • The truth is that idea is great, there are many great ideas, but don’t wait on any, take action
  • The lesson in how many blame others for lack of action compared to being a prisoner of war attempting escape

Cable Matters 6-Outlet Wall Mount Surge Protector – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 6

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.

Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the Cable Matters 6-Outlet Wall Mount Surge Protector and it is one of my favorite little gadgets for making my life easier.  It is available in both black and white depending on your preferences.

There are so many reasons I love this thing.  First is my wife and her fricken air fresheners that plug in.  She has them all over, and okay they smell nice but plug in one and you loose two outlets.  This lets me take them back for more practical things like my favorite power failure lights.  But I will admit those too take way an outlet and most of the time it doesn’t matter.

But then you are cooking and want to plug in your spice grinder or some other gadget, fricken outlet is blocked.  By expanding dual boxes into quads or six ways you can still plug in another item or two.

Next there are the USB ports, these have two 2.4 amp charging ports for USB devices.  While not as fast as 3.1 USB ports they are not snails either.  I don’t really use them that much anyway because we have a charging station in the dining room.  But there are times when the phone is low and say I am cooking, I want to plug it in but am listening to music and don’t want to walk to the other room to skip songs, etc.

The next thing I love is something that could be a problem for some folks or in some rooms, suffice to say I won’t put one of these in my bedrooms.  Why?  Well they have a green power indicator light on them.  It is actually bright enough to be like a night light.  So when you get up in the night you have enough light not to stub your toe.  I am sure you could paint over part of this light to dim it down a bit if you wanted to.

Last but not least the entire unit is a surge protector that protects your electronic devices from surges.  And to top it all off, they give you two micro USB charging cables with it for free, total cost, 17 bucks with free shipping on Prime.

Frankly I have looked at dozens of similar products and for the money nothing beats this one.  So check out the Cable Matters 6-Outlet Wall Mount Surge Protector today and take back your outlets!

Stainless Steel Insulated French Press by Secura – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 6

Note – I am bringing this around again for two reasons. First this item is currently on sale at 30% off with a total savings of about 12 bucks.  Also if you’d like a larger one, the 50oz unit is also on sale for 39 bucks which is 20 dollars off.  I am eying that one myself, because we use big coffee cups and after Dorothy and I both have one cup, there is only about half a cup remaining.  With the bigger size we could get a full second cup for one of us.

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.

Today’s TSP Amazon Item is the Stainless Steel Insulated French Press by Secura.  We have been using the glass version by Fine Dine for a long time and I still really love it and have no plans to get rid of it.  The way I found this one is first of all I have been kicking around the idea of getting a second one for a while

Some time ago realizing I was drinking far too much coffee I went cold turkey on a coffee fast for a few months and drank only tea.  I got rid of our coffee maker and when I started drinking coffee again I went to a French Press.  It makes better coffee and it takes a little effort to make the next cup or two, so it naturally slows you down on consumption.

Thing is some times Dorothy wants to have more coffee and I am ready to switch to tea.  Some days she wants coffee and I only want tea.  So a second one seemed like a good idea.  Additionally as we were discussing this Dorothy suggested that we should take a French Press on our vacations, because it makes better coffee then “the shitty coffee makers in hotel rooms”.  Yes that is a quote!

So my thought was why pack a glass container in luggage that you know will be thrown around by baggage handlers acting like a bunch of gorillas.  So my quest for a good stainless press began.  I found the one by Secura and despite a few negative reviews, with over 4,000 reviews, 4.5 stars over all and a B grade on Fakespot I figured it was worth a shot.

Up front the only negative comment that I sort of agree with from some of the negative reviews is the top doesn’t “seal” tightly.  It moves around a bit, you know what though, it just doesn’t matter.  It seems some of these folks want a press to hold in heat like a Yeti Thermos or something.  The truth is you only want to leave coffee or tea in a press for so long anyway.  In any event I made a press full of Earl Grey yesterday.  I brought the press into my office and when I poured the last cup about 30 minutes later it was still very much “Captain Picard Hot“.

Again I think the few negative reviews are by people with either mental deficiencies or perhaps unreasonable expectations.  Like I said some say it doesn’t hold in heat very long, they are just wrong they also may not know how to work a lid.  Seriously!  On the lid there is a gap for pouring, by turning the lid about 1/4 turn it closes the gap.  Ya think some of this special children might have a hard time figuring that complex concept out?  That leads me to a nice little feature.  They put an arrow on the top so you know where the gap is, nice since you can’t see into the press, well unless your vision can see though steel like Superman.

So if you want a press which way should you go, the Steel One from Secura or the Glass One from Fine Dine?  It is really personal choice, both are great.  The steel one won’t break if you drop it or travel with it and holds heat better.  The glass one in my opinion looks better and you an see how much is left in it.  With the Secura you really can’t tell because the thing is so heavy duty if feels full even when empty.  In the end, get the one you like, I think you will be happy with either of them.

Lastly one cool thing for some of you is this press is available in the 34oz version I bought and in a larger 50oz version if you have a large family or entertain guests often.  So give this press a shot and I think you will be happy with it.

Ugly Stik Elite Spinning Rod – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 2

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.

Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the Ugly Stik Elite Spinning Rod specifically the 5’6″ two piece model but the entire line is fantastic.  The line comes in weights from ultra light to medium heave and lengths from 4′ 6″ to 7′ 6″.  I have and will always be a light gear kind of guy.  My idea of fun is a 20 pound snook in the surf on 12 pound line and a light action rod to give you and idea of what I mean.

I was also at one time big into the all graphite super sensitive type rods until I broke one to many tips off them.  Years ago I switched to Ugly Stik as my go to rods and have been really happy with them, and I find them plenty sensitive for their weight class as well.

So recently I decided to add a new rod to the mix and wanted something light action and not too long for fishing creeks and over grown banks, etc.  So I settled on the  Ugly Stik Elite Spinning Rod in 5’6″ two piece and I am very pleased with it.

I paired this rod up with an Okuma Avenger ABF-30.  The Okuma reel comes with a metal and nylon spool.  So I rigged up the metal spool that I use daily with Spiderwire Ultracast Monofilament in 8lb line.  This is a great set up for everything from sunfish to mid sized catfish.  I rigged up the nylon spool with the same brand Spiderwire Ultracast Monofilament but in 12lb line for getting into larger catfish or rough fishing.

I previously reviewed the Okuma Avenger in the 65 size for surf fishing.  Since that review I have purchased both an ABF-20 and an ABF-30.  I am so impressed with Okuma reels I have pretty much switched over to them 100%.  The bait feeder feature is just great and the quality and smoothness of the reels is like something that cost three times as much.

The 5′ 6″ light action rod linked to in this review would pair fine with either of them.  What the 30 allows is more and larger line to get the most out of this rod.  Because for a rod of its size and weight it is damn solid even with larger fish.

In any event the Ugly Stik Elite Spinning Rods deliver exceptional performance for the price and if you ever break one you did something wrong, really wrong.  They are marketed as the toughest rods on the market and in this case after years of using them I can say, it isn’t just marketing, it is a fact.  Simply put I feel the Elite line of the Ugly Stick gets you a rod in the 100 dollar value class for about 50 bucks.  That friends is the value to price ratio I always shoot for.

Remember you can always find all of our reviews at TspAz.com

P.S. – In all my years I have only seen one Ugly Stik break.  It was on a beach on Sanibel Island and a guy hooked a very large bull shark with a Medium Heavy Ugly Stik running 100 pound braid.  The fish was so large his two buddies were holding him by his waste to keep him from being pulled in, the rod snapped in three pieces and the center piece bloodied his nose.  This fish was NEVER going to be landed with tackle of the size the man had, the line should have been cut, lesson learned!

Episode-2671- Ten Easy Productive Summer Plants and the Best Ways to Store Them [ 1:28:55 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

I was told today that I needed to do less about plants and yes, this is a quote,

“Jack,

Don’t mean to sound negative, but our country is burning down!! I know you get excited about new plants. We need to concentrate on proven things now. Time to get back to basics!!”

I have to say I was up in the air about what to discuss today until I got this email and it shoved me right into plants and food preservation.  While not what the guy meant, what other than that is a proven thing that is part of the basics?  Seriously do you think me adding to the talking head chorus right now about who is right when pretty much everybody involved is wrong will help?  This guy then went on to say….

“Our lives are fixing to get the FUBAR treatment!”

He damn well may be right too!  So you had better right now get with being more self sufficient and the best place I know to start is with food.   Right now unless you live in an urban center you have very little to worry about from riots.  When riots happen, stay away from them, see to your own shit and shore up your weaknesses.

I live only about 20 minute from Fort Worth, my total plans to deal with some of the shit that is going on there right now are as follows.

  1.  I am not going to go there while this is going on
  2.  I am prepared to defend my property as I am always
  3.  See numbers 1 and 2

 

I also expect the odds of rioters marching out to where I live where 90% of home owners also own guns and will shoot you in the face if you try it to be low.  Instead I am focusing one what I control.  Today I invite you to consider doing so as well…

Join Me Today to Discuss…

  • Okay you want something on the riots, they teach us
    • Most people are assholes, the less they have to lose the more so
    • Get the hell away from city centers, they are simply not good places for humans to live
    • Pay attention to what is going on, then avoid problems
    • See to your own shit
  • You want to really know why people will “burn down their own cities” the simple answer you won’t hear on TV
  • Why focusing on self sufficiency is the only real solution – ties into our quote of the day from Bill Mollison
    • “We’re only truly secure when we can look out our kitchen window and see our food growing and our friends working nearby.”
  • Now on to better things
  • The best methods of storing your garden production and how to do them
      • Sun Drying
      • Dehydration (yes this is different in a way)
      • Blanch and Freezing
      • Canning (acid water bath and pressure)
      • Quick Pickling
      • Lacto fermentation
      • In ground storage (improvised root cellaring)
      • Cold season stasis (don’t worry it will make sense)
      • Almost nothing – yea this is a thing
  • Ten Productive Summer Vegetables that Store Well
      1. Tomatoes
      2. Peppers
      3. Egg Plant
      4. Beans (string and dry)
      5. Cucumbers
      6. Sweet Potato
      7. Summer Squash
      8. Winter Squash
      9. Swiss Chard (any greens)
      10. Herbs
      11. Berries
      12. Ground Nuts
  • Final thoughts – ask yourself what you control

J.A. Henckels Original Version Steak Knives – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by  

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.

Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is J.A. Henckels Original Version Steak Knives.  I have owned two sets of these for at least 10 years and they still go through a one inch thick sirloin like it is soft butter.  I finally got around to reviewing them today because they are on sale for 19.95 a set, 43% off the regular price of 35 bucks.

To me these are the best value in steak knives on the market.  No they are not 200 dollar a piece custom knives, but that is not what you want from a steak knife.  Here is what I am looking for in a steak knife…

  1. I do not want to have to sharpen it, it should have serrations that will last
  2. I want a high quality handle that will not loosen or degrade over years of use
  3. I want a lifetime warranty, from a solid company because I know I will likely never use it
  4. I want something built to handle the abuse of a dishwasher even though I won’t use a dishwasher
  5. I want stainless steel, this is a steak knife I am not going to be starting fires with it
  6. I want it to look nice, I want a guest to enjoy using it
  7. I don’t want to spend a ton of money, this is a utility tool, not a display item

 

Again I have owed two sets of these for well past a decade.  I don’t know exactly how long but it predates TSP and that is going to be 12 years officially in just 19 days from today.  There are a few negative reviews and I have to say I don’t know what these people are talking about claiming that this knife does not cut well.

One blathered on about carrots, well it is not a chef knife or a pairing knife, it is not for prepping vegetables it is for cutting cooked meat.  Not slicing up raw veg or parting our raw full cuts of beef.  I’d like to see one of these people draw this “dull knife” across one of their fingers on camera honestly.

Again this is a steak knife and I guess just as some in American no longer comprehend how to use a shovel (we have all seen this have we not) many don’t know how to use a knife.  A serrated knife cuts with a sawing motion, back and forth, it is basically a tiny meat saw.  I don’t know if these idiots are pushing the damn thing threw like a clever or what.  What I do know is these knives work exactly as designed.  I can’t imagine a person who can’t cut a steak with one of these being capable of operating literally any form of a tool without assistance.  They likely need corks on their forks!

Anyway again they are on sale for 19.95 right now.  If you need a damn good set of knives, are capable or operating simple tools and don’t want to spend a fortune on them, these are the ones to get and now is a great time to get them.  So check out the J.A. Henckels Original Version Steak Knives today. Odds are a decade from now they will still be serving you well.
