A lot of you guys have been asking me to put up some pictures of the new homestead. Well, I got some time today and did one better for you with a video tour of the new place. Its just a quick walk around with the iPhone but it gives you a good overview of our new place. I hope many TSPers get a chance to come out and spend some time with us and learn more about self sufficiency as we improve the property.

Today is my first show back at the helm after the big move. The show was disrupted far more then in anticipated. As anyone knows moving is a tough thing to do, moving 350 miles with multiple animals in tow along with prepping supplies is even tougher. This time we used a service from ABF to move the majority of our stuff for us, it was really the only way we could get things done. So from Thursday the 24th until Monday the 28th we didn’t actually possess the majority of our stuff. Even on Monday when the truck showed … Continue reading →
I am about to disconnect the Satellite modem and begin loading the last of our items along with our pets into our two trucks. Within an hour Dorothy and I will be on the road. We do maintain an apartment with our son in the Arlington area but it is about an hour from our new house. Likely we will get down there once every other day to respond to emails. This will be our situation until some time on Wednesday the 30th. I do plan to try to put up an episode for Monday and Tuesday next week, one … Continue reading →
Thanks to some help with the design on facebook from the TSP community the TSP Gear Shop is introducing a new shirt today that shows support for the second amendment. The front breast design proudly states Molon Labe. It is a classical expression of defiance reportedly spoken by King Leonidas I in response to the Persian army’s demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae. Consider it the orginal statement of “from my cold dead hands”. The back design flies the stars and stripe and our guns which folks like to us seem to cling to … Continue reading →

Many people romanticize history. Oh if only we could have lived in the old days right? Taking a wagon out to homestead virgin land. Let me tell you as a student of history it was an amazing time to be alive, it was also a hell of a lot harder then many in the preparedness movement make it out to have been. The reality is modern technology isn’t going away. That is a great thing, it will change, adapt and face certain challenges due to energy availability but we are not going back to Little House on the Prairie. Frankly … Continue reading →

Please understand I receive several hundred emails a day and can’t get them all on … Continue reading →

Today we cover part two of going from zero to prepared. If you haven’t listened to part one of this series yet, you really should do so first. You will notice that title of this episode ends in “low cost” vs. “cheap”. As a marketer there is a rule, if you can eliminate a word do it, but that won’t work here. Cheap sets the wrong tone for what we will discuss today, we are talking about protecting your life, your property and the lives of those you love, one doesn’t go “cheap” with such things. Today may seem like … Continue reading →

Cheap sets the wrong tone for what we will discuss today, we are talking about protecting your life, your property and the lives of those you love, one doesn’t go “cheap” with such things. Today may seem like a basic beginners show but I will bet even the seasoned prepper will gain something and if nothing else will be better able to help others get started. … Continue reading →
