Need a Word Press Theme Designer (Well Customizer)

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

Hey guys and gals my son is about to start a new business.  I need someone to customize a theme for me.  Pretty simple job, basically set it up to look like a simple website vs. a  blog. A simple page navigation bar, four content blocks on the home page.  Customize the colors to work with the logo that we already have made up.  That is about it. Honestly I could likely do this this myself but I am just flat out of time. Job will pay about 250 dollars plus I will give you the exposure as the designer … Continue reading →

In spite of the fact that yesterday’s show went two hours I realized at the end that many things I wanted to include didn’t get included.  For instance we didn’t cover breeding, incubating, brooding, slaughter and cooking. Today I am going to take a second pass at this.  I am going to give you some actual numbers about weights when it comes to the slaughter of young, non meat breed cockerels.  Likely it will have you never bothering to pluck one again. I am also going to provide you with a variety of ways to cook cull birds in order … Continue reading →

Episode-1396- All About Keeping Chickens

I think perhaps the hottest thing in the modern homesteading trend right now is keeping chickens for both meat and eggs.  It isn’t hard to understand why!  The chicken and mankind go back thousands of years as allies.  I figure the natural fit is mostly that chickens will eat almost anything people will eat and many things we won’t. Hence you have a bird that lays eggs almost year round that in many places can make its living off your scraps and the surrounding land.  Once trained to a coop, which takes about a day on average it will put … Continue reading →

I have been on a theme as of late and I think I will leave you with one more show in this vein before I move on to something else.  Do you realize that most people are living their modern lives based on a series of well sold lies? Everything you hear is largely a lie today.  The TV lies to you.  Your parents though well meaning likely repeat those lies, largely because they believe them. The radio lies to you while you drive to work, well, unless you listen to TSP or something similar.  Most companies lie very professionally … Continue reading →

I have talked a lot about personal liberty lately from the stand point of first you must think for yourself or you have no liberty.  This has prompted some requests such as “fine but once you start doing so what do you do next, what actions does a person no awakening take to be more independently liberated? One some levels this is what we discuss every single day on TSP.  On another level it is a difficult request to answer.  In someways what a person is saying is YOU tell ME what I should do with MY liberty.  As you … Continue reading →
