We only occasionally dip into politics around here, time to time we focus on economics and that always by the very nature of out current state must include some political components as well.  Some members of the audience want more and some want less and wish we would stick 100% to practical pepping action.

By the time our children are in high school today they should be getting what I consider to be a basic financial education.  In fact our citizens in college today don’t get this education unless they specialize in economics or finance and even then it is slanted to the “Statist” or “Keynesian” model. Join me today as we discuss the following… What is money? What is a backed currency? What is a “fiat currency”? Why does money exist? What is M0, M1, M2 and M3? What is inflation? What is debt?

Based on the response from yesterday I am going to do a show today on setting up a BOL (bug out location).  This should be a good show and will differ from previous shows on the subject as I will be discussing far more about what to do with the location than how to choose it and what to look for in its selection.  Though we will cover a bit of that to make the episode complete. Join me today as we discuss… What is a bug out location and what is its purpose? Why being to remote can back … Continue reading →

Yep I am in Llano Texas at a camp ground hanging with Ron Hood and his folks from the Hoods Woods gang.  My AT&T card does give me enough connection to post a quick post and to answer emails but I can’t upload a big MP3 so you will have to wait until I return on Monday for a new show.
