Join me today as I discuss some self sufficiency goals that I have set for myself in 2010, along with goals I have for the show and to better serve you the audience. The show notes are brief today due to the type of show we are doing, I am not going to list my goals in the notes if you want to know them you will have to tune in.
I will be trying to inform and educate along the way too. I will be discussing some really interesting permaculture concepts, revisiting my “green greenhouse” (Bill Mollison does it better then me), ideas for people that want to start a business and more.

I have been asked quite a bit lately by email what advice I have to the young folks out there that are just starting out. What should the youngest adult demographic (18-25) be doing right now if they have awaken to reality and want to start builiding a better life right from the start.
Tune in today to hear what I would tell myself when I was 21 right out of the Army if I could go back in time and talk to that young man about his future.
If you are an older person make no mistake about it, today’s message is as much for you as it is for younger folks.

This is a question I get quite often when I discuss my show with people be they individuals or the media. Generally they are expecting some sort of answer about the end of the world coming or something like that. Of course TEOTWAWKI threats are out there, they exist but they are not my main motivation. I also don’t think they are the main reason most people choose prepping as a lifestyle.
Tune in Today to Hear…
- My number one motivation for prepping, I don’t want to be anyone’s slave
- How debt creates slavery
- How government support creates slavery
- Why slavery isn’t inherently malevolent in intent but is always malevolent in practice
- The comparison between being dependent and living a dogs life
- How Hurricane Katrina has devalued the impact of other storms and made people complacent vs. vigilant
- Why individual threats are not as important about the concept of losing systems of support
- Understanding systems of dependence and how many you really have
- The journey of a cucumber from Argentina to your home and what it can teach us

Honestly I get a question similar to this at least once a day, “Jack, how in the world do you find the time and resources to do all of these things?”. So today I decided to discuss that subject because indeed prepping can seem over whelming at times.
Tune in today to hear…
- You always get the things done that you see as being the most important
- The false sense of security from “perceived abundance”
- Food stored is better then money in the bank
- The incremental approach to food storage
- 1 meal a month from your preps will teach you where your holes are
- The lesson of the ant, he didn’t store everything for winter in one day
- Why your construction projects are important beyond their immediate results
- Finding time to garden is easy if you just do a very little each day
- Making time to exercise, just take a walk
- Why preppers are building up their assets while most of America is building up debt
- Finish one project before you start the next
- Three items that should be in your car today, right now, get on it
- Slowing building up your bug out bag and bug out vehicles
- Understand how long you worked at being unprepared, you can’t correct it overnight
- The importance of planning
- A cool way to automate watering, very low tech but very effective
- Including education and awareness in your prepping
