Episode-250- 5 Rules for Food Storage

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

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.
