Extreme Delays in Email and Support Responses

I am about to disconnect the Satellite modem and begin loading the last of our items along with our pets into our two trucks. Within an hour Dorothy and I will be on the road. We do maintain an apartment with our son in the Arlington area but it is about an hour from our new house. Likely we will get down there once every other day to respond to emails. This will be our situation until some time on Wednesday the 30th.

I do plan to try to put up an episode for Monday and Tuesday next week, one may be recorded on the drive we are about to make, sort of a throwback to the Jetta TDI days for long time listeners.

The big thing is any thing you send me that is highly detailed in the next few days is likely best delayed for about a week, until we get settled in. We will handle all tech support emails in as timely a manner as possible but please excuse the delays during our relocation.

I will also be checking in on zello at times during the commute should be at random spots between say 10 Am to 4PM central time today. Until later, Jack out.

Best of luck, moving for a prepper is a special flavor of suck.

  Since its a throwback to the Jetta days, will there be an Assclown of the day/week/month/year?

Safe journey to you and the whole family. Hope to catch you on Zello.

When you said “moving” and “prepper” together, I threw up a little.
James on January 25, 2013 at 11:59 am said:

OK, I admit I have not been listening to the podcast for quite sometime, though I do read some of the things Jack sends out.

Am I right in assuming that they are moving back to TX? Confused…

  OK, found a post from Jack explaining they were looking for larger property in TX. http://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/episode-924-lessons-learned-on-the-arkansas-homestead
  
  no need to reply – I get it now.
  
  Warm wishes and safe travels Jack & Dorothy!!!

You and Dorothy have my prayers for safe travel and a good move.

We understand the delay on the shows; put it out of your mind. We’ll be here when you get back, dude. We know The Survival Podcast will be better than ever!

God speed Hon and take all the time you need. I feel for you we are doing a similar trip except we’re going North.
Love all that you do!

Good luck to you and Dorothy with the move back to Texas, Jack. Moving sucks. Too bad Arkansas didn’t work out for you. I think I would like Texas better anyway. – Sidney

Welcome back to Texas. I live 60 minutes from Arlington also, in Hood County.
FranklinJB on January 25, 2013 at 7:29 pm said:

Hey Jack

Have a safe trip! Question: have you thought about having guest hosts do your podcast when you can’t?

I’d volunteer for a shift. Being a strong gun control advocate but still a prepper, I’d bring a different flavor to the show.

It’d be more of a ‘big tent’ approach to the Survival Podcast.

And who knows, maybe you have a lot of anti-gun fans out there (like me).

Lemme know

  Thank you Jack

Haha, I would help out as well. I too have a face for radio!
Jon Dowie on January 26, 2013 at 9:42 pm said:

I was prepared for this. I stored “Spirkos” in memory cards to listen to in case of a TSP emergency. You see, Jack always tells up to be prepared for likely events first. So, I immediately began stock piling almost 900 “Spirkos”. All my neighbors are screwed!

Welcome to the neighborhood! I am fortunate enough to live fairly close to Eagle Mountain Lake. 🙂

If there’s no DSL run to your place, I know the local high speed wireless 411. Email me if’n you have interfering tree’s. A friend and I are capable in installing Rohn 25 towers.

Hope to hook up sometime.

glad to have you a little bit closer to us out in Arizona:)… even if it is still a 1000 miles away. Looking forward to hearing podcasts and seeing pictures of the new homestead!
Jack jones on January 27, 2013 at 11:52 pm said:

I’m looking forward to the “throw back” jetta style episode. Those were so fun to listen to, you never knew what to expect. I also miss the ass clown segment!

God speed

Hey Jack

Good luck on the move!! I thought maybe a half episode on moving as a prepper.
