Episode-816- Listener Feedback for 1-9-12 [ 1:01:10 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

It is Monday so time for another show based 100% on emails the audicence has sent in to jack at thesurvivalpodcast.com  Remember to submit content for a show like this.

Please realize I get hundreds of submissions a week and can only get about a dozen on the weekly feedback show.  That said I do read them all and often put out many of them on facebook and twitter even if I don’t put them on the show.

The best way to make sure I read your question or comment is to put “question for jack” or something similar in the subject line of your email.  This will also help to prevent accidental spam sorting.

Tune in today as I respond to your emails on…

• Another listener tells their story of a dangerous confrontation
• What economic information sources do I follow/trust
• A story or one listener helping a family in a bad spot
• A couple great resources on plants from the Oregon Biodynamics Group
• A little humor related to planting potatoes
• Thoughts on moving to my state of Arkansas
• A back up wood stove makes life a lot easier during a furnace failure
• Residents in one PA town go with out water, the failure of the EPA is telling
• Thoughts on containing dogs with out the use of traditional fencing
