Time To Assess Your Readiness

Time To Assess Your Readiness

Note – If you send this show to a new listener and they want to skip the intro, have them jump to 11 minutes in.

This show is sort of a beginners show and also at the same time a whack the “experienced prepper” with the 2×4 of reality show.  Recently we started doing the “Monday Prepper Scenario” and the entire point of it is a trickling in of the subject we will cover in depth today.

The truth is many people who fancy themselves preppers are not actually preparing for the most likely disasters and emergencies they will face.   Additionally many people won’t prep at all because they consider “prepping” the realm of the mentally defunct on shows like “Doomsday Preppers”.

In both cases a focus on the extreme leads to a failure to plan for the likely.

Let’s look at it this way, here are some things that have happened to large numbers real people in the US since TSP started, just 6.5 years ago.

Things that Have Happened Recently

  • Ice Storms
  • Hurricanes
  • Flooding
  • Blizzards
  • Contaminated Water
  • Riots in their Cities
  • Tornadoes
  • A massive recession
  • A stock market crash
  • A real estate market crash

Here are Some Things that Have not Happened

  • A global pandemic killing 50% of the population
  • An EMP destroying all electronics on the planet
  • All the oil/coal/gas running out
  • A meteor or comment strike
  • The Zombie Apocalypse
  • The complete and total collapse of the economy

Sadly many peppers are so worried about the things that have not happened their preps are full of holes in being prepared for what has happened and likely will happen again.

  • Disaster comonality
  • Your 6 Primary Needs

Join the MSB Today

Join the MSB Today and Get 20 Dollars Off Your First Year with Discount Code fall14

Just a quick reminder that the current sale on the MSB ends at Midnight Central Time tomorrow Oct. 1st.

The MSB is a great value and this is a great time of year for fall homestead planning. So I decided to make the MSB an even bigger value for the next week.

Fall officially began yesterday with the fall equinox on Sept. 21st. To celebrate from now until Oct. 1st you can get your first year of MSB for only 30 dollars. This sale is open to new members or members who’s prior membership has expired.

To get your first year of the MSB for only 30 dollars just use the discount code

fall14

Remember Bob Wells Nursery was Just Added to the MSB

Planning that fall planting? Well fall/winter is the best time to plant trees, bushes and many other perennials. Now all MSB Members get 10% off all purchases from Bob Wells Nursery. That means with this one benefit alone a 300 dollar tree order alone would pay for the entire first year.

More is Coming

I can’t say what yet but at least two more very exciting vendors will be added to the MSB before the year ends! I am constantly looking for great companies to get you guys the best deals I can with.

Lastly the premium eBook Collection is worth over 150 dollars alone, it includes…

  • How to Build Your Own Residential Wind Turbine (value $14.99 )

As you can see I work very hard to insure there is a tremendous value to the MSB and I keep working to increase the value for my members. In the end it is also a way you can help support the show.

At 30 dollars for your first year that works out to only 12.5 cents an episode to support the show.

You can Join the MSB at the Members Page

This Monday’s Prepper Scenario

An ice storm hits your area. There is no electricity and won’t be for weeks.  Movement is all but impossible, even with chains most roads are blocked by multiple downed trees.  Forecast is for bitterly cold weather for the next week or so, highs below freezing.  Power companies say power will be out for up to three weeks for some customers, in this case that includes you.  It will be at least a week before you can get out and about.  At that time supplies, gas, etc. will be short and many stores closed anyway for another week due to no power, damage, folks not being able to come to work, etc.  What do you do, including sanitation, animal needs (if applicable), heat, motivation and morale, etc.  

Last Monday’s Prepper Scenario

A serious illness of some form has gone into true epidemic mode. The government and the CDC have imposed a quarantine. There is to be no travel or movement in your area for 30 days. If you are away from home you are permitted to travel home but once there you must stay put. If you are home now you must stay, no last minute trips to “the store” which is likely a shambles anyway. You can’t go to work, you and your family just have to stick it out for 30 days, may be more. What would you do, including how to keep sanitation in check and how to keep morale up.

Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

Can a Community Member Get Some Legal Advice

Posted on September 26, 2014 by Modern Survival| Comments Off on Can a Community Member Get Some Legal Advice

I could use an attorney who would not mind at least discussing some options with a TSP community member that I feel is being bullied by a person with no leg to stand on.

This good friend of TSP is being threatened with a lawsuit, they know the attacker has no real grounds for the attack but they are worried it will cost more to defend the case then to yield to bullying tactics.

The ideal person will have experience in litigation over IPR and be licensed in Oregon or Kansas but honestly any help would be appreciated.  A community is only strong if it is united when ANY member is attacked unfairly.  This is one such time!

I can’t say anything further now, I don’t want people guessing here (as you will LIKELY BE WRONG ANYWAY) so I am turning off comments.  If the full force of this community of 100,000 is needed at some point I will let you know then.

For now if you are an attorney that is willing to do at least a pro bono verbal consult with a wonderful member of the TSP community, just email me at jack at thesurvivalpodcast.com with “willing to consult” in the subject line and I will put you in touch with this individual.

I feel this person is being bullied, given unreasonable terms, threatened with a short deadline and more.  I don’t like it and I really just don’t want them to make a decision based on fear and false assumptions.

I am not a lawyer, I think I know what to do here but I also know my limits.  Anyone who helps this individual will have my eternal gratitude.  Thanks to all,

Jack

Ben's sons Rye and Fin in a Real World "Classroom"

Ben’s sons Rye and Fin in a Real World “Classroom”

Ben Hewitt was born and raised in northern Vermont, where he currently lives on a 40-acre diversified hill farm with his wife, Penny, and two sons, Fin and Rye.

Fin and Rye sons are educated at home in the context of a life-learning process known colloquially as unschooling. The Hewitt’s believe that contemporary, institutionalized American educational expectations create “childhood deficit disorder” and do not allow for full maturity of mind, spirit, and skills. Nor do modern public educational options offer the practical, hands-on skills that reduce one’s reliance on industry. Fin and Rye are highly skilled woodsmen, proficient with firearms and bow. They also trap and forage extensively.

Ben is himself a high-school dropout and the author of five books, including The Town That Food Saved: How One Community Found Vitality in Local Food. His most recent book, is Home Grown: Adventures in Parenting Off the Beaten Track, Unschooling, and Reconnecting With Nature.

Episode-1433- Developing an Online Business

Posted on September 24, 2014 by Modern Survival| 49 Comments
Episode-1433- Developing an Online Business [ 1:22:17 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

It has been a long time since I have really dug deep into this topic.  Our mission at TSP is to help people become more self sufficient.  The reality is the biggest systemic dependency most people must deal with is economic dependence.

Economic dependence also leads to a required acceptance of many things you don’t want in your life.  Trading time for dollars is what the labor force is based on.  Yet the entire concept of “labor” is actually disdained by most business owners, even those that treat people very good.  In the end a labor force is an massive expense and a massive source of frustration.

Every business, no matter how well they treat employees is always looking to improve efficiency, at least if it is to survive it is.  Every time I improve efficiency I reduce my need for labor relative to my production.  This means quite literally that business is and has been seeking to design out labor to the highest degree possible for a very long time.

So all while we are told about “job creation” the entire system is based on systemic job elimination.  To be brutally honest, if I am employing 500 people and improved efficiency will let me get rid of 50 I will do so.  Why?  Beyond the capital return, it will let me purge the 10% of the lowest performers from my company.  In the end the 450 will actually be a lot happier.

There is nothing wrong with a job and being an employee, just understand the above is the reality of your existence.  You are employed only because you are either necessary or perceived necessary.  That alone should make most people at least consider either building a business or learning to at least market themselves more effectively.

Join Me Today As We Discuss…

  • The entrepreneur mindset is for everyone, even employees
  • The entrepreneur mindset is infectious, just warning you
  • Business ownership is easy, successful business dev and operation is hard
  • You are likely to fail, so what, that’s great
  • How the internet should really be seen and what is an online business
  • The two types of products, there are only two, no more
    • Needed
    • Desired
  • There are three primary reasons people buy, only three
    • Entertainment
    • Profit
    • Life Changing
  • Define the market in simple terms
    • Who are they (BE SPECIFIC)
    • What do they want (BE VERY SPECIFIC)
    • How do they want it delivered (BE LASER PRECISE)
  • Thoughts on getting started, why just do it works
  • Remember if you are just starting no one is paying attention
  • Success comes with time, if the work is done and a system is followed
  • Many times it is best to develop a market and make the market develop the product
  • Why I suggest above all, follow your passions

Episode-1432- Why the Current Generation is “Lost”

Episode-1432- Why the Current Generation is "Lost" [ 1:17:11 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
Call a Generation Lost and it May Believe You.

Call a Generation Lost and it May Believe You.

You might think that the most difficult questions I get come from older folks who have been around a while, you would be wrong.  The most difficult questions to answer come from young people, asking “what do I do with my life”, in some sort of way.

The current generation (Millennials) and the one coming next (Generation Z) take a lot of flack.  We hear they are lazy, don’t know the value of hard work and never knew a day without a computer.  Really, well, hey Boomers and Gen X on that last one, few of us knew a day without a TV right?  Sometimes we should think before pointing to the “flaws” of others.  I digress though.

The reality is this generation has been born at what should be one of the most exciting times in history.  There is more opportunity today than ever before.  Businesses are easier to start, educations are easier to obtain and new ways of doing things happen every day.  The truth is right now is one of the greatest expansions of entrepreneurship ever seen  on the planet.

Yet many of our young people feel lost.  TSP is about survival and living a better life.  If we don’t preserve families and if we don’t look out for our next generations, who will look out for us when we are old men and women.  What of any value can we leave behind if we don’t leave behind young men and women who value both their past and their futures?

Join Me Today As I Discuss…

  • Why today really is a great time to be alive
  • Why can’t people see how great this time is, what went wrong
  • Why do out children and young adults feel lost
    • They don’t know where they have come from
    • Due to that they don’t know where they are going
    • They don’t have a connection to the earth and innate humanity
    • They believe the hype from both sides of the dichotomy
    • They feel helpless about the hype
    • They are not permitted to fail
    • They are not challenged to excel
    • They are praised for mediocrity and they know it
    • They are presented with a single path to “success”
    • The path is expensive and they know it often doesn’t fit or doesn’t work
    • They are being taught success formulas that are often out dated
    • They see their “parents hell” but are pushed to follow that example
    • They are then blamed for all of the above
    • It is more our fault then theirs and they know it
  • Fixing the problem isn’t really that hard
    • Address the above at least for your family
    • If your family won’t do it, do it for yourself
    • Life really is amazing, just make sure to realize that
    • Take risks, winners fail before they succeed
    • Realize that others will always urge caution to the bold
  • The choice is yours, choose your path wisely and don’t hesitate to change paths

Bob Wells Plant of the Week – Arbequina Olive – Adaptable from zone 8 to zone 10

Cold hardy variety that has one of the highest olive production and oil yields. The soil should be well drained. Tree has an upright habit. We recommend covering the tree the first winter if the temperature drops below freezing. Once the tree has been in the ground for a year and is well rooted, it then will begin to withstand the colder temperatures.

The older the tree gets the more, cold hardy it becomes. Oil is sweet, delicate and fragrant with intense fruitiness but low levels of bitterness and spiciness. If you live above zone 8, you can grow it in a container and bring it inside during the winter months.  –  Order this Plant at Bob Wells Nursery

This Monday’s Prepper Scenario

A serious illness of some form has gone into true epidemic mode.  The government and the CDC have imposed a quarantine.  There is to be no travel or movement in your area for 30 days.  If you are away from home you are permitted to travel home but once there you must stay put.  If you are home now you must stay, no last minute trips to “the store” which is likely a shambles anyway.  You can’t go to work, you and your family just have to stick it out for 30 days, may be more.  What would you do, including how to keep sanitation in check and how to keep morale up. 

Last Monday’s Prepper Scenario

There is a knock on your door, it is a sheriff deputy or local police officer. He tells you there is a chemical spill just up the road and mandatory evacuation has been ordered. It is about 8pm, your spouse is in the shower, your kids are in PJs in front of the TV. The threat is real and you understand and will comply with the order to evacuate.

The officer doesn’t know how long it will last, he says likely at least a week and you need to move NOW, ten minutes to get out tops, what do you do? The evacuation area is relatively small, about a mile in diameter.

  • A free LIFETIME Discount Membership to SafeCastle’s Discount club (value 49 dollars)
  • A free Premium Membership with Western Botanicals (value 50 dollars)

Remember Bob Wells Nursery was Just Added to the MSB

Planning that fall planting?  Well fall/winter is the best time to plant trees, bushes and many other perennials. Now all MSB Members get 10% off all purchases from Bob Wells Nursery. That means with this one benefit alone a 300 dollar tree order alone would pay for the entire first year.

More is Coming

I can’t say what yet but at least two more very exciting vendors will be added to the MSB before the year ends! I am constantly looking for great companies to get you guys the best deals I can with.

Lastly the premium eBook Collection is worth over 150 dollars alone, it includes…

  • Planting Trees The Low Cost Easy Way (value $6.99 )
  • How to Build Top Bar Behives (value $6.99 )
  • Basics of Sprouting (value $6.95 )
  • Building an EPAK Kit (value $12.95 )
  • Getting Your Household in Order (value $6.95 )
  • Building a Traditional Clay Oven (value $18.00 )
  • Building Aquaponics Systems (value $18.00 )
  • Secrets of Ballistic Striking (value $11.95 )
  • The Glycation Factor (value $49.99 )
  • How to Build Your Own Residential Wind Turbine (value $14.99 )

As you can see I work very hard to insure there is a tremendous value to the MSB and I keep working to increase the value for my members. In the end it is also a way you can help support the show.

At 30 dollars for your first year that works out to only 12.5 cents an episode to support the show.
