Episode-2851- Another Look at Backyard Aquaculture

Today we are going to take another look at back yard aquaculture.  Aquaculture has a history over thousands of years of feeding people via small self managed systems.  I have now been doing this at various levels for about 8 years.  I have also done a large number of episodes more on the how to aspects so today I am coming at it more on how to think about it and chose the right tactics for your own needs.

Join Me Today To Discuss…

  • The MSB is on sale just use code iwant35 when you sign up – full details here
  • Why aquaculture in America today
    • With adjustments is can be done in most of the US even on small properties
    • A lot of the feed requirements can be self provided
    • High quality protein that can be harvested as needed (no storage energy)
    • Growth rates are high due to high efficiency of aquatic environments
    • Other feed stock for other animals can be an out put
    • Huge fertility can be built by even small aquatic systems
    • A track record of feeding humans for thousands of years
    • Tons of aquatic and semi aquatic vegetables can be grown along with fish
    • Water is life
  • Some ideas I have that may help you
    • Miyagis are beautiful but above ground pools are cheaper and more efficient
    • If you can dig a hole go as deep as is practical
    • Use either local fish or fish that are endemic to a climate like your own
    • Do not adjust PH, etc. find fish that live in your natural water source
    • If you are not on a well you really and I mean really need to harness rain catch
    • Don’t hesitate to use commercial feed
  • This is something you really will not learn and understand until you do it

Solaray Zinc Copper Amino Acid Chelates – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on April 6, 2021 by Modern SurvivalApril 6, 2021  

Special Note – I talked about this yesterday in Episode 2850 and linked to it.  Over night at some point the link I had in that show started redirecting to another product that does not contain copper.  I don’t know why so I am officially reviewing this item so there can be no further confusion.  Also for the dot gov, I am MAKING NO HEALTH CLAIMS on this SUPPLEMENT.  I am just telling you the logic behind why I chose it and why I take it.  Do your own research and always check with your healh care provider about any supplement or drug for risks, counter indications, etc.

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 Solaray Zinc Copper Amino Acid Chelates.  I have always known that zinc is a vital mineral for human health and hence always made sure my multi vitamins have included a highly absorbable form or zinc.  Then in 2020 when CoVid hit I did a lot of research about exactly what the science says about how zinc helps us with immune functions.

It turned out the primary way was by getting zinc into our cells.  That when zinc is inside the cell our scientific research indicates that it slows the replication of many viruses and even some other things such as some types of cancer cells.  The issue was even very absorbable zinc does a poor job of getting inside our cell walls.  This led me to find quercetin as a natual ionophore for zinc, with proven scientific that it does in fact work as an ionophore.  Meaning it opens a path way and gets zinc into the cell.

Quercetin is a commonly available health supplement and there are many good sources of it, I settled on this one, but any should be fine if made by a quality manufacturer.  So the next step was find zinc for daily use.  The recommendations I kept finding for immune boosting were 50mg per day.  There were a ton of options of quality zinc, so I didn’t really worry much about brand.

Along the way an MD from the TSPC audience reached out and told me something I didn’t know.  This fact is EASY to confirm but you generally don’t find it unless you specifically know to research it.  Tons of medical sites run by professionals recommend zinc and leave this part out, you need to supplement copper if you daily supplement zinc.  The reason is copper and zinc compete for absorption in the gut and copper is a necessary mineral for many functions in your body.  So experts recommend for every 50mg of zinc you include 2mg of copper.

Given this is common medical knowledge I figured there’d be tons of options, there may be but on Amazon I only found one that was also a long known manufacturer of supplements.  That one was of course Solaray Zinc Copper Amino Acid Chelates.  I have now been using it for about 8 months and I am grateful to the Doctor that made me aware of the need for copper with zinc supplementation.

Again I am not making any health claims that this product will treat, cure or prevent a disease.  What I am saying is that it is known science that zinc inside your cells reduces the replication of many viruses, specifically those that are mRNA based such as CoVid-SARs-2 and variants there of.  I am also stating that it is known science that an ionophore such as quercetin is needed even when supplementing zinc to get it inside the cell walls.  Lastly that when supplementing zinc daily the science says you should also supplement copper.

From that point I invite you to do your own research and make your own decisions.  Then if you decide you want to supplement zinc, I do think you should put Solaray Zinc Copper Amino Acid Chelates at the top of your list for brands to consider.

Don’t worry no April Fools day stuff in this one, we don’t do that at TSPC or do we, only time will tell. Anyway time for another topic round table discussion. This one is all from things I simply see and hear going on in the world around us today. We will start with some comments on the current propped up pandemic and where your mind should be in it and proceed to some other topics.

Join me today as we discuss supplements, nutrition, the coming CoVid wave in nations that did “better”, cryptocurrency, covid backlash, facts vs. opinions and more.

Join Me Today To Discuss…

  • The MSB is on sale just use code iwant35 when you sign up
  • Okay here is my core supplement routine this is NOT MEDICAL ADVICE
    • Quercetin – 250mg twice a day –  the brand I use
    • Zinc/Copper – 50mg a day in the AM with quercetin – the brand I use, because it has the proper Zn/Cu ratio
    • Vitamin D3 – morning, noon and evening (I take 10KIUs 3x a day) – the brand I would use
    • Vitamin K2 (MK4 version) – 100mcg per each 10K IUs of D3 (3x a day) – the only pure MK4 brand I have found
    • Vitamin C – 1000mg three times a day – the brand I use
    • A Good Multi – a brand I would use – I get what I take from Dr. Steven Lewis
    • B-Complex – a brand I would use – I get what I take from Dr. Steven Lewis
  • Final Note – I take various other things, all are done in conjunction with Dr. Lewis and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
  • Why I think eating low carb, keto, paleo or something such as this is more important than any supplements
  • The inconvenient truth nations that think they “managed CoVid well” will in time have to deal with
  • CoinBase is going public and it looks like a BTC ETF is imminent – it is all about to explode
  • Pirate Chain style crypto is going to be a key way to “erase the past” when it comes to non privacy cryptos
  • My mixed emotions about the Feds suing LBRY and the response by LBRY to it, truth is IDK here
  • Why I think the entire CoVid Plandemic will backfire especially vaccine passports
  • Why I say vaccine resistance opinions are based on facts where as pro vaxx arguments are built upon faith

Why LLCs and Corporations are not for Every Business – Miyagi Mornings Episode-81

The Survival Podcast Posted on April 5, 2021 by Modern SurvivalApril 6, 2021  

If for any reason the above Odysee video has any playback issues you can find the YouTube version here.

I was asked today about LLCs and Corporations yet again today. As always I answer this question first with the advice of “talk to a CPA and likely a Tax Attorney”, before you move forward. This question also asked if sites and services like “Legal Zoom” were okay for filing as an LLC. There are really a few questions in this one or at least there should be. To me we need to answer the following here….

1. What is positive and negative about using a site like Legal Zoom
2. Why you need to at least consult with an attorney before you file
3. Why many sole proprietors don’t really need an LLC and why it won’t do what many think it will
4. The advantages of doing business as an LLC from an accounting perspective
5. Why I do always recommend at least and LLC for partnerships
6. An example of a hidden gotcha when it comes to LLCs/Corps

MSB Sale – This Deal Will Self Destruct in 7 Days

The Survival Podcast Posted on April 5, 2021 by Modern SurvivalApril 5, 2021 13

I set up MSB from the beginning with the hope that it would not cost my members a dime in the long term. So I set out and locked in about 70 discounts on tons of stuff you likely buy all the time. Simply by using these discounts a few times a year I can’t see how anyone living a modern survival lifestyle won’t get their money back at least two times over a year, especially at 35 bucks.  And it gets better as that rate locks in for life.  As long as you remain a member you will keep this price vs. the 50 dollar standard rate.

So consider signing up today. Again just use the discount code iwant35 when you sign up. To do that just go here and set up your account.

If you want to pay by check, silver, etc. you can get a form to fill out on the sign up page. Just print it out and make sure to write the discount code on the form. If you pay with silver we will just give you some extra time instead of cutting the price.

P.S. – If you want to pay with cryptocurrency, just use the standard pay by crypto form and I will respond to you as per usual but with the adjusted lower price.  I should note that when it it comes to crypto I take any crypto that I am either holding or is on one of the exchanges I use.  I also offer a standard discount if you pay for 3 years with crypto of 100 bucks for all three years, so that is even a bit cheaper than this great sales price.

P.S.S. – A special note, the default online payment method is now credit/debit cards via Stripe. Some folks seem to think they need a Stripe account to use that method, you don’t. It is just my merchant account provider. All you need is any major credit or debit card and you are good to go.

I do still take PayPal but they have been really buggy with a ton of failed renewals and problems when people are trying to sign up and they have been NO HELP in fixing it. So while you can use PayPal I prefer that you sign up via Stripe. And if you have a PayPal debit card you can of course use it that way.

*This offer expires at 12 midnight CST on 4-12-21 no exceptions.

Etekcity 4 Pack of LED Lanterns – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on April 5, 2021 by Modern SurvivalApril 5, 2021 18

Special Note – These are one of my favorite items to give and gifts and in doing so spread the concept of preparedness.  The bank for the buck on these guys is massive!

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 Etekcity’s 4 Pack of LED Lanterns.  These things are an incredible value and are the result of a lot of research.  At this point while you can still get the original version I now exclusively recommend the new upgraded option is 4 units for $28.08 or about 7 bucks a piece.  So what does the higher price get you?  Two big things, first they now have a dimmer switch, with four different light levels, that can extend the insane battery life even more, or it is just nice when you want less light.  Also the bases on the new models now have magnets so they will stick to any metal surface.

On top of this the tops now have a storage space.  It isn’t a ton of space but plenty for a small bit of cordage, some tinder, extra keys, etc.  Let me just say as I order more of these, and I will, I will happily spend the extra 1-dollar a piece for these upgrades.

I have previously reviewed The Streamlight Siege Lantern.  And I still think it is the highest quality LED lantern on the market.

It is also 26-114 dollars based on the options you pick.  Even at the lowest priced option if you wanted one for every room of a 8 room house, you are looking at 200 bucks.  Frankly for this type of thing, it is over kill.  I wanted an affordable solution for every room lighting during an extended blackout.

I started looking around and dozens of companies are marketing these little pop up lanterns with minor differences.  The housings are almost identical.  Some are very inexpensive and some cost almost as much as The Siege, none are as good though.

Well I love Etekcity which has a lot of really cool stuff much of which I have reviewed in the past like their Thermal Gun, Power Failure Lights and Remote Control Electrical Outlets.  So I checked and back when I first found these the originals were $32.99 with free shipping.  They were also an Amazon best seller with over a 4000 reviews and an average of 5 stare

But I always check the one star reviews before picking an item.  Many times you can tell said reviews are written by idiots.  In this case, however; they bothered me.  Almost all of them said they got one that didn’t work out of the box and then never worked again.  So I began checking other options, heck it is almost like ever single brand of these things are clones.   They all have great reviews, a few bad reviews and all the different ones have almost the exact same complaint, dead on arrival or after one use.

So I contacted Etekcity who has great service and said basically that it is understandable at this price point and selling so many a few will have problems, but what is your return/replacement policy and this is what I got back in return, within an hour by the way!

Hello Jack,

Thank you for reaching out to us and thank you for all the feedback we appreciate it. Honestly we sell hundreds if not a thousand of these lanterns a day and we do have problems with them, they are not perfect.

 

Typically the main issue is a little toggle switch in the base that likely during shipping breaks unfortunately and once in awhile the top of the lantern is cracked or loose again probably due to shipping.

 

Once the lantern makes it to the customer and they arrive in good order we never hear from the customer because they seem to not fail with normal use.

 

We usually only hear from the customers the moment they open the package and find the damage and then we immediately send out a replacement and then all lanterns come with a 1 year warranty.

 

These are not the worlds greatest lantern but for around $7 each, they are one of amazons best sellers and we think for the price they are the best around.

 

thank you

Okay so every single one of those one star reviews are people that simply could  have gotten a free replacement, on a $6-8.00 product?  Honestly this is why I have recommended so many things from Etekcity.

Talk about honesty in a nut shell they said, “hey look when you sell this many products of this type some will have problems, but we stand by and replace them”, what more could you ask for for about 6-8 bucks?

With that I was sold, I got two sets, we have them in our black out kits and if one fails, I don’t care I have 8!  That said all of mine have worked just fine and were in perfect shape when they got here.  But this was important to me, I wanted to be sure that if you did have a problem, Etekcity would fix it and I wanted to give you a lot cost option for back up lighting.  And hey even at this stupid cheap price, batteries are included!  Please consider that even cheap ass Rayovac Batteries are about 8 bucks for a 12-Pack.

And these do that, they will give you 12 full hours of light off three measly AA batteries.  So to me at the cost and for what they do this is the best deal in back up LED lighting for your house and your BOK (Black Out Kit).    So I really recommend you pick up at least one set of Etekcity’s 4 Pack of LED Lanterns.

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

P.S. – I have noticed a few negative reviews complaining of leaking batteries ruining these lanterns.  Here is my rule for batteries, never store them in your devices for long periods of time.  I don’t care if the device is expensive or cheap, I don’t care of the batteries are generic or top brand, just don’t do it.

We keep flashlights (mostly D-Cell Maglites) around the house, we use them all the time.  Used devices never seem to have this problem.  When they start to weaken we replace them.

In our BOK we keep our devices and with them a ziplock bag with 4 sets of batteries per device in the bag.  We use our power failure lights and flashlights to retrieve our BOK and simply put the batteries in at that point and time.

Note that it is true that battery manufacturers are required by law to replace any device that leaking batteries destroy.  That doesn’t help in the middle of a black out though does it?  Simply put any device that is not used often, take the batteries out of it, store them with it and save yourself the headache.

Zicome Set of 4 Basting Brushes – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on April 2, 2021 by Modern SurvivalApril 2, 2021 2

brushes

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 Zicome Set of 4 Basting Brushes.  Simple little item but these are the best thing out there in value and quality I can find.  I really enjoy cooking that is no secret and one of the great tricks to add flavor to food it is dry season and grill it, then baste it right at the end.

Now let me tell you silicone is the way to go here.  Unlike nylon or natural fibers it won’t burn on the grill when you hit it by accident.  The problem is every single silicon brush I have ever found is a multi piece arrangement.  The silicone head and bristles are in one way or another attached to the handle in a way in which they can be removed.

So you know what happens over time, the head gets loose and starts falling off.  So when I found these I knew I had found the solution to this issue.  These are formed from a single piece of silicone, so the head can’t fall off.

While we are on this subject let me give you one of my go to bastes for lighter fair like say chicken wings or quail or something like that.

  • 3TBS of Soy Sauce
  • 1TSP of Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 TBS of Hot Sauce (I like Cholula)
  • 5 TBS of Jalapeno Infused Olive Oil
  • 5 TBS of White Wine
  • 1 TBS of Mustard (plain yellow is fine for this)

 

Put all this into a jar, put the lid on the jar and shake the heck out of it.  The mustard in this is an emulsifier.   In that capacity it will allow you to blend all the ingredients and they won’t separate including the oil. If you do have any problem with separation, squirt in a bit more mustard and shake again until you don’t.  Since I am not looking for a lot of mustard flavor in this I use as little as is needed to get the job done.

Brush this on to your meat in the last few minutes of your cooking.  To guild the lily a bit then sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on the sticking coating after you take it off the grill.

So for making this and other great bastes and not ending up with your brush head in the coals, check out the Zicome Set of 4 Basting Brushes today.  With four for about 8 bucks they are only 2 bucks a piece, I bought my set 5 years ago and all of them are still like brand new.
