The concept of GMO’s (generically modified organisms) is largely misunderstood and I feel somewhat hyped as both overly safe and overly dangerous by both sides of the debate.    Today we dig deeply into this issue to fully understand the dangers of GMO’s including the often missed larger implications and impact on the biosphere and system level life webs. Also remember today is the last day of our MSB special.  You can get your first year of MSB today for only 30 dollars.  Just join the MSB and use the discount code “positive” and get your first year for only 30 … Continue reading →

Emergency Seed Banks and Open Pollinated vs Hybrid vs GMO

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

In this video I don’t just review the emergency seed bank from Directive21.com I dispel many myths about GMOs vs. Hybrid Variety seeds.  Emergency seed vaults are in my view an outstanding addition to your long term preps but the hype in the emergency seed industry is really misleading.  Tune into this video for hard and somewhat harsh facts about emergency seed products and the real reasons to invest in them vs. the fear based marketing of many other manufactures. Having seeds is a vital part of preparation and survival. One really great seed bank is the seed bank that … Continue reading →

While it is true we head on face disaster and accept some of them are invertible we also understand that for the most … Continue reading →
