Sure I always tell you that it is a good idea to store food but today I want to get you really serious about doing this both to mitigate threats and to enhance your life on an everyday basis. While I strive to keep the tone of TSP upbeat once in a while we must look at concrete underlying threats to our lives.  Every major organization that monitors the food supply is saying the same thing right now about our global supply of food, simply put, shortages are coming and they won’t be going away. Join me today as we … Continue reading →

Today we hear from two listeners who have found their own path to individual liberty.  Not in some Utopian sense of some mythical new nation that recognizes the liberty we claim to recognize in America today, rather they have claimed their own personal liberty their own way. Both of these couples said, screw it and JUST DID IT, and not in the cliche way of the Nike catch phrase.  They took decisive action, they stated their intent, they designed a road map and they acted.  Today my hope is many of our listeners will do the same in their own … Continue reading →

Today we take a deep look at a subject we really haven’t gone into for a long time, container gardening.  I know many listeners have very small yards or no yards and are regulated to growing things on a balcony.  Containers though to me are for everyone, they short cut soil prep time, offer many advantages and can be used in a variety of ways that improve your production regardless of your land or lack thereof. Get ready and strap in, I am on fire today with information and resources, this is one of those shows that will overload and … Continue reading →

Current Website Issues

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

Last night sometime about 12 PM something went wacky with the theme that we have been running the site with.  I am not sure what occured but the site would not load, we had not performed any maintenance on the site the theme (which controls the look and feel of a site based on wordpress like our site) just seemed to eat itself. As a short term fix I have reverted to the old theme so that is why the site looks different for the time being.  The center column is blank due to this and I will back fill … Continue reading →
