Gardening and permaculture are key topics with me when it comes to modern survival living.  Some question this concept and feel survivalism is far more about beans, bullets and bandaids than compost, a shovel and turning soil. To such types I have one question, where do you think the beans come from? I have said a few things before that I feel need to be reinforced today. You can only store so much food You may fight a real battle a handful of times in your life or never but you must eat daily Our current food supply is threatened … Continue reading →

One of the favorite topics on prepper forums and in doomer literature is TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it).  I think what many fail to focus on with this is the (as we know it) portion.  The fact is the world as people of their time knew it has ended many times, it will continue to end. At one time a Roman citizen was the most advantaged in the world, so also there was a time when it was a great to be a Greek, an Aztec or a member of the Hopi Tribe.  None of … Continue reading →

Rather than continue to deal with concerns and perhaps give TSP a bad reputation with new visitors I have simply disabled the old theme. Rest assured this is not our new look an feel just a get by so I can get on with recording today’s show. … Continue reading →
