13 in 13 Skills Challenge

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

In episode 1002 I mentioned a program we are soft launching right now and hard launching on Jan 1st 2013.   The program works this way, people commit  to either adding or drastically improving 13 skills in 2013.  The skills can be primitive, traditional, mechanical or even technical.  It is all about restoring the ability to actually do things to our nation. I would like a cool way for people to track their progress.  A simple profile based website where people can set up their profile, list their skills and just check them off as they get them done.  It needs … Continue reading →

There is an old saying, “what’s old is new again”.  While a fashion minded yuppie may be referring to something like a brief return of the awful concept of bell bottom jeans or some such nonsense, there is a real meaningful component to the statement. When we are unhappy, when we know something is wrong we try to think back to happier times and make part of what they had part of what we have today.  Why do you think “I Love Lucy”, “Andy Griffith” and even “The Three Stooges” enjoyed a lot of rebirth after 911? Why do you … Continue reading →

Today on TSP we are joined by James Burnette from the Survival Punk blog.  James takes a rational, creative approach to self-reliance, applying a punk DIY ethic to survivalism without any of the fear mongering or “tinfoil hattery” found in some other areas of the survivalist movement. James is a long time listener to The Survival Podcast and has even been out to our personal homestead to share some of my 18 year old Scotch with me, so you know he must be a good guy.  I don’t break out 18 year old Highland Park for just anyone after all. … Continue reading →

Planned Site Maintenance Tonight

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

We plan on doing a bit of site maintenance tonight and the site will likely be down for a bit.  It won’t occur until a bit after midnight Pacific time so likely most of you won’t even notice it.  Just letting everyone know ahead of time. This will effect all TSP sites, the blog, the MSB, the forum, etc.  It should not be for long but we need to replace some wonky hardware, test a few things and see if some upgrades are in order.

I am calling today’s show “The Voice of the Community” because that is what is really is.  Over 150 of members of the audience called in and contributed to a narrative almost 5 hours in length.  If I ever had a single doubt about the impact of TSP this episode alone demolishes them with the force of an atomic bomb. I am so grateful to all of you for being part of the revolution each in your own way.  I will be spending most of the rest of the week working on the Revolution 2.0 video and hope to release … Continue reading →

Last week I had a great interview with James Howard Kunstler, a man I find interesting yet I also find many places where we disagree.  Many wondered why I allowed some of his comments to go unchallenged, the reality is simple, I don’t bring guests on for debate sparing.  I bring them on to give their view and trust that the audience will distill what they need, as each individual sees fit. I also have been around long enough to understand that it is a sorry ass weak mind that can’t stand to listen to a differing opinion.  It is … Continue reading →
