DeWalt Cordless Jig Saw (Bare Tool) on Sale

The Survival Podcast Posted on July 6, 2022 by Jack SpirkoJuly 6, 2022  

Okay just saw this one and these deals often sell out or get modified early on, so it won’t be the item of the day.  Just a quick heads up, if you want to add a DeWalt 20V cordless jig saw to your kit today is the day, if you get there first.

It is on sale right now as a bare tool only for 109 bucks, the retail on this item is 179 a discount of 70 dollars, which is 39% off.  This is a top end brushless tool, and one of those tools you tend to get last in your power tools kit.  If you need one and are already on the DeWalt platform, get this now before the inventory is gone or the deal simply disappears.

* Note that some items that go on deals like this often sell out before the daily episode is published or the daily mail is sent.  It doesn’t always happen but it often does and DeWalt deals are notorious for it.  I maintain active price watches for almost everything in the TspAz catalog and when deals like this happen I always run them.
`
To insure that you have first crack before these deals go away, I really encourage you to join the TSP Telegram Channel.  If you do that you will get texts of every post at TSP within minutes of them going live.  And while the TSP Telegram Group is great if you only want updates from me vs. chat with the entire community, the Channel will give you that.

Death in a Lonely Land – By Peter Capstick – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on July 5, 2022 by Modern SurvivalJuly 5, 2022 1

deathEvery 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 book Death in a Lonely Land, by Peter Hathaway Capstick.  Most of Capstick’s books are now in limited printing or simply being sold on what is left in stock.  So the hard covers are all over 20 dollars.  Some of the first editions I own are now worth over a hundred dollars.  But fortunately almost all of them are now on kindle and can be had at more affordable prices.

This one, Death in a Lonely Land is one of his best as it is a collection of shorter stories from Africa and across the globe.  Hair raising dangerous game stories of a time since passed.  Capstick’s work took up where famed writer Robert Ruark’s ended.

He was an amazing guy, with a really amazing life.  After a short career as a Wall Street stockbroker, Capstick headed to Latin America, where he traveled widely while hunting and fishing.

A few years later he returned to New York, where he founded a business arranging professionally guided hunting trips. Shortly thereafter, he took a position as hunting and fishing director of Winchester Adventures. In that capacity he made his first trip to Africa in 1968.  Subsequently, he worked as a professional hunter and game ranger in Zambia, Botswana, and Rhodesia.

He became a successful author in the 70s, wrote many books and was a featured writer for many magazines including Guns and Ammo and Sports Afield.  His books make you feel as though you are there, tracking the leopard or dodging the angry buffalo.

Sadly in 1996 at only 56 years of age he died of heart complications.  His work though lives on in his writing.  Also fans of this podcast owe Death in a Lonely Land a special little debt.  You see one of the last little stories in this book is about biltong.  Capstick describes his craving for the stuff while living in his semi retirement in Florida.

He discovers that he can simply hang red meat, dredged in apple cider vinegar and coated with salt, pepper and coriander in his home and in 7-14 days have wonderful biltong.  No stupid “biltong box” or dehydrator required.  In most instances just hang it, if it is abnormally humid just point a fan at it.   Sound familiar.

Yes Capstick didn’t just make me love hunting even more, he didn’t just let me travel to hunt Lions, Leopards and Jaguars with him, he also taught me about biltong, a debt I can never repay.  I will warn you though if you pick up Death in a Lonely Land you may find yourself like me, with every book the man wrote in your library or in your electronic collection.

Today we have another episode of  “Outback with Jack”.  These podcasts will be generated though live steam sessions done early early in the morning.  These will have an approximate start time of 0830 -11:30 CST.

These podcasts will are a lot like old school TSPC episodes on a variety of topics, many quite topical from the news and from social media.  Each show will covers a bullet point list of 5-12 topics that I will handle rather rapid fire.

From there we will talk about what ever the live audience comes up with.  These livestreams will then be converted to MP3s and put out in the standard TSPC Podcast feeds under the new series title of “Outback with Jack”

Today we discuss a the reality about how easy it would be to actually take out a “prepper compound”, some of the biggest problems we have, some new things in science, meat based diets and more.

Todays Subjects Include…

  1. How I would kill every single person on your “compound” if I was a bad guy
  2. Is the great reset actually turning into a “great awakening” or is that just hopium
  3. The three really big threats are economic, regulatory and supply side, plan accordingly
  4. Can you use an old pool liner as a back yard pond liner, yes but
  5. Have humans really lost over half our gut biome, I am not so sure – link
  6. Growing plants in the dark a prime example of “too much magic” – link
  7. Let’s talk a bit more about a meat based diet and 5 of the problems it solves
    1. Takes too much time to cook healthy
    2. We need to put “carbon in the soil”
    3. We need to reduce run off into our oceans and rivers
    4. We need to feed over 300 million people just in the US
    5. We need to decentralize food production and processing
  8. Time for live listener Q&A

Cable Matters 6-Outlet Wall Mount Surge Protector – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on July 1, 2022 by Modern SurvivalJuly 1, 2022 6

Price Alert – I absolutely love this little device.  Go from two, 110 outlets to 6 plus add in 2 USB power outlets then top it off with surge protection.  I have tried a lot of items like this and this one simply is the best I can find.  And today it is on sale for 50% off the regular price.

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 Cable Matters 6-Outlet Wall Mount Surge Protector and it is one of my favorite little gadgets for making my life easier.  It is available in both black and white depending on your preferences.

There are so many reasons I love this thing.  First is my wife and her fricken air fresheners that plug in.  She has them all over, and okay they smell nice but plug in one and you loose two outlets.  This lets me take them back for more practical things like my favorite power failure lights.  But I will admit those too take way an outlet and most of the time it doesn’t matter.

But then you are cooking and want to plug in your spice grinder or some other gadget, fricken outlet is blocked.  By expanding dual boxes into quads or six ways you can still plug in another item or two.

Next there are the USB ports, these have two 2.4 amp charging ports for USB devices.  While not as fast as 3.1 USB ports they are not snails either.  I use them all the time and they put juice back in my phone plenty fast.  They are really great at times when the phone is low and say I am cooking, I want to plug it in but am listening to music and don’t want to walk to the other room to skip songs, etc.

The next thing I love is something that could be a problem for some folks or in some rooms, suffice to say I won’t put one of these in my bedrooms.  Why?  Well they have a green power indicator light on them.  It is actually bright enough to be like a night light.  So when you get up in the night you have enough light not to stub your toe.  I am sure you could paint over part of this light or put a bit of tape on it to dim it down a bit if you wanted to.

Last but not least the entire unit is a surge protector that protects your electronic devices from surges.  And to top it all off, again it is on sale today with a total cost of 10.99 on sale today with free shipping on Prime.

Frankly I have looked at dozens of similar products and for the money nothing beats this one, especially marked down like it is today.  So check out the Cable Matters 6-Outlet Wall Mount Surge Protector today and take back your outlets! I have two of these in my home, the oldest has been in operation for about 5 years now.  It still works perfectly, I mean what else an you ask for at about 10 bucks and change.

Stephen Raisner is a leading aquaponic consultant and founder of Potent Ponics. He has helped pioneer many of the methods now use for high value and hard to grow crops in aquaponics and has worked on projects around the world including Canada, Jamaica, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and across the US.

During his time working with aquaponics he developed a method now known as dual root zone planting which allows for a much wider range of crops to grow via aquaponics than was previously possible with traditional methods of production.

Steve is also the host of the Growing With Fishes Podcast which is on its 6th year with over 700 hours of educational content for your garden be is soil or aquaponics. On the show they interview botanists, biologists, professors and other industry experts to share the latest in gardening methods and practices.

Today we discuss….

  • What is aquaponics
  • How can aquaponics fit into a homestead or intentional community as part of its cultivation plan
  • What equipment is needed to run an aquaponic system
  • What kind of methods do you use for various crops grown in aquaponics
  • What species of fish are commonly kept in aquaponics
  • What crops grow best for beginners in aquaponics
  • How much does an aquaponic system produce compared to soil or other methods
  • What does aquaponics offer over other cultivation methods
  • Can you grow fruit trees and other odd ball crops like root crops in aquaponics
  • And a ton more

Winchester 51 Piece Gunsmith Screwdriver Set – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on June 29, 2022 by Modern SurvivalJune 29, 2022 10

smithkitEvery 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 the Winchester 51 Piece Gunsmith Screwdriver Set.  Look strait out of the gate this is not really “the kit” for the big time gun enthusiast that tinkers often with many projects.  It won’t do everything  you will even need in drivers for guns, but it will do most, like 95%.

No what this kit is for is your range bag.  I can’t tell you how many times I have been at a range and a fellow shooter had some maintenance issue and no tools to fix the situation.  With this kit and a basic cleaning kit, a shell extractor and some lube if you can’t fix it at the range, you likely need a gun smith or to use your warranty if it is yet to expire.

driverkitbackThis is more than just a gun smith kit though.  Come on, 15 bucks and some change for a good quality kit that has 48 different driver bits in it.  You know what I am going to say right.  Put one in the glove box of your vehicles.  Perhaps one in your Go Bag or BOB as well.

Does it have every torx bit, no but it has 7 and the one you are looking at pissed off because you expected it to be a Phillips bit likely will be one of those.  This is also a great gift to a young person who has finally be trusted to maintain his/her own firearms and frankly a good gift for anyone you need to get something for, not something spectacular just something.  You know what I mean.

Pick up one or a few of these and the first time you need it, you will feel like it just paid for itself.  Again this isn’t top quality on the level of say Forester or Grace USA (which I keep in my smithing box) but for about 18 bucks it is extremely versatile and I have never had one fail me yet.  So give the Winchester 51 Piece Gunsmith Screwdriver Set a look and determine if it might be the right product for your range bag or other needs.

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

P.S. – Even if you don’t own a single firearm you should pick up one or two of these.  The ones in my boat and in my truck have both saved my butt a time or two.  Looking at a screw that needs turning and not having a simple tool with which to turn it suck.  Especially when it is either really hot or really cold outside and said screw is the one that can get you home.

The Shotgun – The Most Versatile of All Prepper Guns – Epi-3114

Today we are going to talk about the shotgun.  My goal is to give the listener a fundamental understanding of exactly how shotguns work.  What all the jargon like shot size, choke, gauge, etc. means and more importantly why it matters.  I also would like to dispel some myths and explain why in my view, the shotgun is the ultimate prepper gun.

PRICING AERT – Bringing this around today because the gallon size is marked down to 86 dollars for a kit of all three and that will grow a literal ton of hydroponics greens.  And yea I mean a damn actual ton.  The cost on the gallon set of three spent pretty much all of 2022 so far over 110 dollars.

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 General Hydroponics Combo Fertilizer Kit, this stuff is easy to mix, complete and it works, I mean it really works.  But before I go on, I actually prefer Masterblend for most hydro needs.  As long as you use air tight storage Masterblend Stores infinitely, costs less and ships easier since it is dry.

So why this product at all.  Well I found it when both Masterblend and Texas Tomato Food were impossible to get last spring when everyone and their mother jumped into growing food. And it worked really good and it does have some advantages.

First is as long as you follow the instructions (order of adding to your system) since it is liquid it mixes really easily.   Next if you are growing out plants that fruit it is really easy to fine tune as your plant progresses from growth, to bloom to fruiting.  Last even though I am linking to the combo kit, if all you are doing is starting plants to transplant size, you can get just the Flora Grow and it will do all you need at the lowest recommended level of use.

So it does have a lot going for it and for some with small indoor kratky or seed starting systems they may not mind the cost increase per gallon of actual hydroponics fluid.

Next yes this is “synthetic” fertilizer as most hydroponic fertilizer is, if you want something different you need to be in the world of aquaponicis or wormponics or something like that.  That said I have tons of worms living in my hydro systems, so at the proper levels of use these fertilizers (all of them Texas Tomato, MasterBlend, General Hydroponics, etc) do not create “sterile environments”.  That is a myth and one that needs to die.  If it were so legumes would not set nitrogen nodules in them for one thing.

That said after many experiments with hydro I am now only really using it to grow some herbs in winter and start seeds for my gardens and aquaponic systems etc.  I will say more about that this week on the air.   In the end though hydro works and for some with very little space it is one of the best options you have.  This fertilizer is a great option for specific needs or smaller systems.

If however you are doing larger systems with hydro I think  you own it to yourself purely based on economics to go with MasterBlend.

On the General Hydroponics Combo you can get that either in

  • Quart Sized Combo Kit
  • Gallon Sized Combo Kit

 

The combo kits are composed of three parts which is good becuase if you do standardize on this you will run out of Flora Gro before the other two, the three parts are…

  • Flora Gro – a General purpose fertilizer, sufficient for fast growing greens and plant starts as a stand alone.
  • Flora Micro – Provides the micro nutrients plants need for full growth and healthy fruiting.
  • Flora Bloom – Gives a good kick of P and K to encourage blooming.

 

So if you prefer a liquid nutrient consider trying the General Hydroponics Combo Fertilizer Kit in either a quart or gallon size depending on your needs. Oh and right now most of the options are on sale.

Last I want to make sure I am 100% understood here.  If you are going to grow nothing but salad greens, you absolutely can use the Flora Gro only.  I would personally buy it AND the Flora Micro but you don’t have to.  What I would personally do if I wanted to use this for indoor hydro is, buy one gallon of Flora Gro and one quart of Flora Micro.  I would then add 1/4th the amount of micro and both would run out at the same time.  That would cost right at 50 bucks today, so it doesn’t save much over the Gallon sized combo kit, but it will easily do a full season of indoor growing and you can spend the other 30 bucks on lights, net cups or say rapid rooter plugs.
