Today one day before the great American Holiday we stop and pause to think about what we have to be thankful for.

The real history of Thanksgiving is actually a lot more interesting … Continue reading →

Today on the Survival Podcast I take your emails on crowd funding, agriculture, soil amendments, politics, education, guns, law enforcement and more. Make sure if you submit content for a feedback show that you put something like “comment for jack”, “question for jack” or “article for jack” in the subject line to assure proper identification for my screening process.

Five New Companies Added to the MSB

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

I have been working hard to increase the value of the MSB and today am happy to let you know that 5 new partners have been added. I am constantly looking for high quality unique vendors that offer things you would likely want to buy anyway.  I work with them to get my members significant discounts that you can’t just get anywhere else. I personally vet each company and the products they offer by direct personal purchase or investigating the response of community members who have done business with them.  In most instances I have personally done business with many … Continue reading →

In October of 2012 I rolled out of my warm bed, headed to my kitchen and poured a hot cup of coffee.  I walked my dogs, breathed cool beautiful fall air and got ready to head to my office (at the time called The Ant Hill).  I went inside and turned on the news to see how things were going for victims of Hurricane Sandy. I sat there for many minutes awestruck at what I saw.  Not so much the devastation, it was expected and I  had followed the storm closely.  I was mostly struck by how little people had, … Continue reading →

Monday I took a question on “economic collapse” and tried to explain that no that isn’t going to  happen, not the way many think about it anyway.  That the collapse is here, it is on going and it will have both chronic and acute symptoms.  In short instead of prepping for TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it) many should be prepping for TEOYWAYKI (the end of your world as you know it) As usual when you try to explain this some people feel that means, well, “it isn’t so bad” so do we even need to … Continue reading →
