Last Hour Warning for TSP-Fall-21 Workshop Ticket Sales

The Survival Podcast Posted on by  

This is it, the final warning!  In about 1.5 hours from right now I will be putting the fall workshop on sale.  You will need to have telegram installed and be on our Telegram Channel and or Group to be able to get the link.  Last year we sold out in about 6 minutes.

When I drop the link you must fill out the registration form and then complete payment of the 150 dollar deposit only then is your seat locked in.  Couples need to do that twice to be clear.

If you want to come and have not yet dones so download the telegram app NOW and join our Telegram Channel or our Telegram Group. (Both get everything I post as announcements.  Also we have a secret Telegram Channel you will get after you sign up that ties you into our workshop alumni and gets you important updates before and during the workshop.

But this is it, if you need more info on the workshop it is all here.   The short version though, 3.5 amazing days, great education, great food, great people and great fun.  Cost is 550, today there is a deposit of 150 to hold your seat, then the balance is due when you show up.  Full info packet is available after your deposit.  Location is near Azle, TX.  If you want to fly in best airport is DFW, about 30-45 minutes drive depending on traffic with plenty of service from Uber/Lyft if you want to go that route.

Good luck to all in getting a spot.  I hate to make it competitive but it is literally the only way I know to be fair about it.

Back Porch Chat with Jack Today at 12:30 CST

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 2

Today about 12:30 CST I will do a live feed chat with Jack from the back porch.  I will have some topics to lead off with but you will be able to ask questions in chat.  While the feed will be on YouTube, Odysee and Flote I will only see comments on YouTube the other two require a second screen and I can’t do that on the porch for now anyway.

Well may be I can, but don’t bet on it.

I am doing this because this has been a short week and Monday you are getting a rewind and no Miyagi Morning so I want to leave some fresh content behind.  I may also spin the audio from this and put it out as a podcast depending on how it goes if you miss it.  Either way the video will be there for you to watch later if can’t check in during the live feed.

You can find the feeds starting at 12:30 CST at these locations….

 

You will be able to ask questions in real time on the feed but if there is anything in particular going on you want me to speak about, feel free to post it in the comments below.

Qinlianf 5 Outlet Extender with 4 USB Charging Ports

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 1

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 Qinlianf 5 Outlet Extender with 4 USB Charging Ports.  This simple low cost device will turn any standard duplex power outlet into 5 duplex outlets, 3 USB outlets and 1 USB-C outlet.  It takes about 1 minute tops to install and it works great.

Here is the caveat, so far…

I do not anticipate any issues with this device or I would not list it and it is cheap enough to go ahead and list right away.  However, unlike the Cable Matters 6-Outlet Wall Mount Surge Protector that I recently ran on a deal of the day special price from Amazon, I just got this one so no longevity testing on this one so far.  It just popped up one day as a recommended item and I was like, heck yea I will give that a try.  Yep they got Jack with automated marketing!

So why add another device like this to TspAz?  The form factor, I mean take a look at it.  By moving 4 of the 110 outlets to the sides on 45 degree angles the usability factor really goes up a lot.  It keeps it sleek and allows you to actually use the outlets, all of them.

Another advantage over the Cable Matters one is that its “surge protection indicator light” is tiny by comparison. On the Cable Matters model the only complaints are that the indicator light is “too bright” for some and indeed as I reported it is like having a small night light in a room, which can honestly be a good thing but may be you don’t want that in a specific room or area.

Okay here is the weakness, this thing is a wall expanding outlet it is NOT A SURGE PROTECTOR.  The specified fail over voltage is just too high to trust as a surge protector.  So here is what I am going to say, this device will expand any outlet and do so in a way that will be fine for anything you’d plug into any standard outlet in the first place.  If you feel you need surge protection, get something better for that job.

Another thing I really like about the Qinlianf is you don’t just plug it in, you remove the little screw on the face plate of the 110 outlet, don’t worry this is safe to do.  You then remove the faceplate, plug in the device and use the included screw to attach it like a new faceplate to the outlet, this makes is stable and it does not unplug when unplugging things from it.

And for 14 bucks it works just great as what it is, an outlet expander with built in USB capability.  Its advantages over the Cable Matters model are…

  1.  Form factor making plugging in multiple 110 outlets easier to do
  2.  3 USB plugs vs. two on the Cable Matters
  3.  1 USBC plug vs. none on the Cable Matters
  4.  Much dimmer on light if you don’t want bright lights
  5.  Screws into the face plate screw hole on the outlet so it is more stable when unplugging things

 

Advantages for the Cable Matters model are….

  1.  6 power outlets (110) vs. 5 for the Qinlianf
  2.  Brighter indicator light (this one is subjective)
  3.  I have owned the Cable Matters model for 2 years now and no issues, can’t say that about the other one yet

 

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

P.S. – I really do not recommend any device like this be trusted for high end surge protection anyway, including the Cable Matters model.  Even those with acceptable fail protection ratings tend to degrade in performance over time.   As I said best to use these types of devices with the mindset would I plug this thing, whatever it is, into a standard outlet?

Also I recommend you consider talking to your electrician about a whole house surge protector just as an aside.  Those will be 100-200 bucks based on what you pick plus labor, usually 1-2 hours depending on how your electrician bills truck roll time.

Courtney & David Gleason on Building a Resilient Lifestyle – Epi-2960

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 1

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:06:14 — 15.2MB)

In 2014, David and Courtney Gleason and their two (at the time) small children left their suburban Charlotte, NC home, moving to a dilapidated farmhouse on five acres. Their original intention was to raise their own food under the highest standards, and to live a more sustainable, financially resilient life. In addition to homesteading, David works full time in the tool industry, and Courtney works part-time managing a residential real estate portfolio, plus she homeschools their (now) four little kids.

Within a few years of starting their homestead, they began producing more food than their family could eat, with the intention of selling the extra to offset their own food costs. It took several years and a lot of trial and error to learn how to build a sustainable pricing model for their premium products, and at the same time efficiently and effectively build a network full of potential and repeat customers without resorting to a farmer’s market booth.

Now, their homestead business sells a variety of products to passionate, loyal customers. Their premium soy-free, Certified Organic-fed, ethically raised eggs and meats are sold directly to their “farm fans” and are typically sold out with a wait list. They have an online course (Homesteader University) designed to help aspiring and seasoned homesteaders alike build their own resilient, sustainable homestead business from scratch without a farmer’s market booth.

Dr Christopher’s Complete Tissue and Bone Ointment – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 26

drchrisEvery 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 Dr Christopher’s Complete Tissue and Bone Ointment.  While I have often made my own comfrey ointment by simply infusing olive oil with dried comfrey root and leaf, and then thickening it with bees wax, this particular formula really works well.

I feel it is the combination of other ingredients that make something great like comfrey salve, even better.  As many of you know I severely injured my knee so bad I was on crutches for a week, a few years ago.  There was severe straining to both my MCL and LCL to the point where I could not even bear weight on it.

Upon returning from my trip I began using this and in two days went from crutches to a cane, one more week and I put the cane away.  I wore a knee brace for another week, and by then was walking normal.  This stuff doesn’t just help you heal from injuries it also reduces pain.  And that is almost instant.

One day my daughter-in-law was breaking out with a nasty rash due to post pregnancy hormones.  She was almost in tears as it was so uncomfortable.  I suggested that they apply a bit of this, to one area to test it.  The rash went away, almost at once, so they used it where ever she had the rash and 15 minutes later she was happy and content.

I am not saying this stuff treats or cures things, as the dot gov says I can’t say such a thing.  All I can tell you is our results have been fantastic.  And that the healing power of comfrey is well known and well documented, in fact its traditional folk medicine name is “bone knit”.

I have been recommending this highly on the air for a quite a few years at this point and have heard from dozens of you guys who have used it on abrasions, bruised ribs, twisted ankles, etc. with great results.  In fact I checked this morning (9-22-21) and over the past four years I have sold almost 4,000 jars of this stuff and have never had a single complaint, but I have had plenty of you guys rave about it.

I really recommend that as a prepper you keep a jar or two of Dr Christopher’s Complete Tissue and Bone Ointment on hand all the time.  It is too valuable not to, and if you live in the south like I do it is only a matter of when not if you will have an encounter with fire ants.  Let me say nothing I have ever used on a fire ant bite, well bites it is never just one is it, works as fast or as good as this stuff.

I know a lot of you guys have used this stuff so let me know your results in the comments below.  Also most of the negative reviews on Amazon say that “it is hard”, I know I should not have to say this, but that is because it is made with WAX, put it somewhere a bit warm if it is hard to work with, it will soften right up.

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

P.S. – For some reason the label says to refrigerate this stuff.  I don’t, I never have and I have been using it and self made comfrey salves for half my life. Besides you don’t eat this stuff, right?  I have never noticed a problem with not refrigerating it or any salve and doing so makes it hard to spread.  Do as you will with this information but I have no plans to keep mine in the refrigerator.

 

I’m a 30 Something Finally Making Bank, Now What – 2959

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 1

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:18:21 — 17.9MB)

I got and email today and thought, man that would make a great TSPC episode, here is that it said….

Jack, Could you do a show for the people like me? I am in my mid 30’s making more money than I have ever before but do not have very good financial role models. I am good at saving but have way too much cash in the bank and not working for me. I am buying crypto in a dollar averaging kinda of way but not enough.

Thank, SB

This is a great question because we are at a unique time in history where stacking cash alone has likely the biggest loss it has ever had outside of an extreme crisis.  At the same time my modern approach of utilizing crypto as part of your investments does not change my old school approach of following the tenants of George S. Clason’s classic work “The Richest Man in Babylon” from 1926.

Sorry for the Interruptions – Here’s the Deal

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 2

So I am hoping to have a regular edition of TSPC out later today, later than normal but a new episode.  On Saturday evening (good humored sarcasm on) engaged in the highly dangerous act of simply walking to my back door (good humored sarcasm off) I heard a loud pop and my left achilles tendon popped.   It clearly did not break but it stretched out a lot and it was not fun.

Of course I am applying comfrey and have already gotten off crutches.  I am going to a doc today only to get a referral for imaging to be sure.  I hope this can recover on it’s own, it really is not painful but I have very little to no control of the front ball of my foot as to bearing weight for now.  So in case it ends up needing surgery to recover I want to get the imaging done ASAP.

On top of this another event has happened in my family in another state, this requires my time and attention.  I am going to do what I can about it but it is time consuming.  I won’t say what it is, please don’t ask.  Those that might be able to help if needed already know about it.

Anyway please excuse the disruption, we will be back with a great interview show tomorrow and if I can’t do an episode today I will have a rewind out at least.  Miyagi Mornings will take this week off and return next week.
