Today we are going to look at fishing and how it can be part of the modern preppers lifestyle for day to day living rather than in a capacity such as wilderness survival or bush craft.  Our nation is blessed with millions of acres of accessible water for fishing.

Join me today as I discuss a variety of methods of having and utilizing wild fish protein…

  • Focusing on what is locally available
  • Targeting species with good food value, ease of harvest and high bag limits
  • Insuring that specific techniques are legal in your area
  • What trapping teaches us about fishing
  • The technique of jug fishing
  • What is limb lining
  • What is a trot-line
  • Combining multi species on trips for maximum harvest
  • The secret of creating your own structure
  • Sensible harvest and safe eating
  • When all else fails grow your own fish

Episode-250- 5 Rules for Food Storage [ 52:05 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Today we have a wide variety to discuss but the main topic is the 5 primary rules for food storage. Specifically how to build up a truly sustainable food storage and production program. Today’s show is mostly based on the article that I had published on Lew Rockwell today. (The Article on LRW.com).

In the intro segment today I talk about a random assclown blogger that is lying about me saying such things is I “teach isolationist survivalism” and that “I make up fantasy lies about Barack Obama” and worse that I am a right wing shill.  Clearly this twit does not comprehend that I am a raving libertarian often to the dismay of many of my conservative listeners.  I don’t mind critisim, I don’t even mind the ocassional out of context comments but this person is a liar.  Please go visit her, inform her she is a liar and make her aware that I have invited her to come on TSP to discuss these lies directly.  Her pile of crap hack piece (can be viewed here)  Oh and you do loose credit when you write about someone and can’t even spell their name correctly.

I even include an end of show bonus segment with a brief review and commentary on Episode 3 of “The Colony” a reality TV show on Discovery Channel.

The Rules We Discuss Today for Food Storage….

  • Store what you eate and eat what you store
  • Take advantage of opportunity buys
  • Use long term storage items as extenders and adjuncts
  • Become a producer
  • Use a holistic approach not a magic bullet

Episode-170- Let’s Take a Trip Back in Time

Episode-170- Let's Take a Trip Back in Time [ 45:00 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Today folks we are dusting off Michael J. Fox’s old Delorian, dropping in some Plutonium and traveling back in time to when everyone in a small town was a survivalist and didn’t know it.

When are we going back to?

  • 1829 and life on the frontier?
  • 1880 during the Indian wars and the rebuilding after The War Between The States?
  • 1918 dealing with the Influenza Pandemic?
  • 1935 in the middle of The Great Depression?
  • May be the 50s as the nation began to prosper after WWII?

Nope none of those, we only need a little Plutonium 235 because we are just taking a short trip back to 1986-1990 to my teenage years living in the three towns of Jonestown, Minersville and Pottsville in the coal region of Pennsylvania.

Listen today as I take you through a typical year back then, count how many survival skills you hear that we consider part of the survivalist lifestyle today.  In 1986 in the Appalation Mountains of Pennsylvania this wasn’t survivalism, it was just what we did.

Today I decided to so something more in the realm of “traditional survival skills” or the more typical “wilderness survival skills” that many popular survival shows are based on.  Today we discuss assembling both a very basic bare bones fishing kit and a more advanced better equipped version with complete survival fishing gear included.

Tune in today to hear…

  • Why caring a fishing kit makes so much sense
  • Can you find fish anywhere, well as long as you can find reasonable water supplies, yes
  • Why you need an air/water tight container for your tackle
  • Advice on hook sizes
  • How to make a “frog gig” using large hooks
  • How the spin fishermen can effectively use even the tiniest of dry flys
  • How to find bait in survival situations
  • Bait or food, the choice is yours, a new version of “a bird in the hand”
  • How to make a “hobo reel”
  • Advice on a collapsible fishing rod, get one, carry it, it beats a hobo reel or improvised can pool
  • Why you should carry netting
  • Minnow soup?  It might be “what’s for dinner”
  • Advice on carrying more fishing line then you think you will need
