Today we are joined by Daniel Halsey to discuss what real collapse preparation looks like when you move past the fantasy version. This is not about knives, guns, bug out bags, or trapping rabbits. It is about the social side of long term disruption, the bad assumptions people carry into community living, and what actually has to be designed before people can thrive through hard times instead of just surviving the first wave of them. Daniel has spent about 20 years as a permaculture and ecological designer, working across the United States and internationally. His work has put him in … Continue reading →

Today’s we are going to talk about vehicle preparedness. This is designed to be stuff that can be in just about any vehicle at all times and yet you still have room for your groceries and your kids.  Next while two is one and one is none, we are not looking to over do redundancy here.  So this list assumes you have a good BOB (72 hour kit) and that it goes in your vehicle when needed (most times) and that you also carry a reasonable EDC kit on your person. We also purposefully left out items like guns and … Continue reading →

We have heard a lot of “AI is coming for your jobs” talk in the media and then the layoffs came just as predicted.  But did AI really drive the layoffs?  More did it even really have anything to do with them in any meaningful way?  If AI is replacing all these jobs, where is the actual proof, is there any really there. No, at least in 95% of all instances when examined not really.  A few real cases have been seen but they are more like Unicorns for now vs. a herd of wild mustangs.  In fact recently Fortune … Continue reading →

Matthew Sercely follows that up with a hard look at whether social media “experts” pitching trusts as magic tax savings tools are selling real strategy or just reheated snake oil. … Continue reading →

Merten & Storck Carbon Steel Skillets – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is Merten & Storck Carbon Steel Skillets.  I have recommended the Lodge brand a long time and there is nothing wrong with them, but they could be better.  Problem is most carbon steel skillets that are measurably better are stupid expensive. So how would I improve Lodge Skillets if I could.  First I would do better milling of the surface so it was … Continue reading →

Today we discuss why I don’t give one F about Hantavirus and why you probably shouldn’t either. We also get into why Saylor hatred has become a failed IQ test for Bitcoin maxis, what Elon’s DODGE really was, and why calling it a “once in a lifetime opportunity” is true, just not in the way most people mean it. We also talk about the White House Ballroom fight and why it may be one of the dumbest political hills Democrats have picked lately. From there we move into silver and ask whether 70 to 80 dollar silver is the new … Continue reading →
