Episode-1682- The Thanksgiving Special for 2015

Episode-1682- The Thanksgiving Special for 2015 [ 33:18 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Note – You can get a full transcript of the original portion of this show here. Many families read this and the Christmas show as part of their holidays.

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

The beginning of today’s show is new, most of it is rebroadcast of the first year I did this show.

The beauty of this show is I feel it is something you can share with friends and family. The real history of Thanksgiving is actually a lot more interesting and special then many of the myths.

Tune in today to hear…

  • How thankful I am for all that has happened so far in 2015
  • Why much of what we learn about Thanksgiving is wrong or at least inaccurate
  • How Thanksgiving was at one time considered a “damn yankee holiday”
  • How Thanksgiving became a way for our nation to heal and reunite
  • How the date of Thanksgiving has often been moved around and why
  • The truth about those big buckles the pilgrims wore and all that black clothing
  • What feasting meant 100 years ago to our prior generation that we have forgotten

Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon. Also please enter our listener appreciation contest and help spread the word about our show. Also remember you can call in your questions and comments to 866-65-THINK and you might hear yourself on the air.

One Dead Coyote and Too Many Dead Ducks – Duck Chronicles Adjunct Nine

Posted on November 24, 2015 by Modern Survival| 57 Comments
Too High a Cost but This Yote is Done Harming My Ducks!

Too High a Cost but This Yote is Done Harming My Ducks!

Warning this Video Shows Graphic Footage of a Dead Coyote and Dead Ducks. Some of the images are bloody and may be disturbing to some viewers.

That said this video is the reality that comes with farming at times. This is what really happens and what must be done to protect animals that depend on you.

Again some of the footage is pretty graphic including decapitated ducks that had to be put down. Viewer discretion is advised.  Parents should watch this and determine for themselves if they want their children to see it.

Sorry for the wind noise at the beginning.  Any PETA types do not bother to comment, this is an example of a rouge predator, one that kills and kills rather than kills and retreats with a meal.  Such predators must be eliminated.

We lost at least 12 young layers in total along with some drakes and two geese, the financial loss alone to our farm there exceeds 3,000 dollars.  This is however one coyote that will do no further damage to anyone or anything.

Big time equal credit to Charlie who bravely confronted the coyote, chased her into the coop and was then smart enough (a challenge for him) to back off and let me shoot it.

Charlie was later seen, pissing on the body!  Good boy Charlie.
Last week I did this post, vowing that I would have this animal dead within a week, http://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/tsp-will-return-tomorrow-a-coyote-will-die-asap

The post was on Nov. 16th, 8 days ago, one day late and too high a cost, but let it be known to any predator, if you harm my animals you head goes on a T-Post!

Every Citizen a Sentinel T-shirts

Posted on November 22, 2015 by Kelly Gendrou| Comments Off on Every Citizen a Sentinel T-shirts


ECAS t

The Every Citizen a Sentinel T-shirt was the first item to appear at TSPgear.com. Now TSP Gear Shop is running a new batch of these.

Printed with “Not on my watch” on the front chest and “Long Live the Republic” on the back. The phrase “Every Citizen a Sentinel” originally appeared on an episode a few years ago after it was realized that not everyone is cut out to be a warrior, but all who embrace personal philosophies of freedom and liberty are surely warriors at heart. Only some will be labeled a soldier, but anyone can deem him or herself a Sentinel.

To get in on this new batch, place your order at TSP Gear Shop. You can also add any other items from the store, and your whole order will Ship for FREE. MSB members can take 10% off their entire order.

Special New Product Deal from Old Grouch

Posted on November 20, 2015 by Modern Survival| Comments Off on Special New Product Deal from Old Grouch

Just got the following email for you guys from Tim Glance at Old Grouch.   Seems like a really good idea to add to our kits.

Hey TSP, this is Tim Glance from The Old Grouch’s Military surplus with a special deal for you.

Do you use a chainsaw, power tools, axe or similar tools on the homestead? Do you shoot? Do you do any other activities that have a risk of eye injury? Of course you do- now do you have anything in your first aid preps for treating eye injuries?

A few years ago the US Military started issuing a new style of battle dressing for treating eye wounds, specifically penetrating eye injuries. It uses a ventilated metal shield with a special hydrogel adhesive disk around it to protect the wounded eye from injury without putting any pressure or contact on it that can make the injury worse.

These normally sell for $15-20 each. The ones I got are past the “use-by” date but the sterile wraps are intact and the adhesive is fine, so they are still usable if you don’t mind the date being past- that is something you have to judge for yourself. For my personal use I don’t care! And if anyone gets these and isn’t happy with them I will refund 100%, I am confident you will be pleased.

Because they were past the date I got these from the manufacturer of military kits at a great deal- and just started offering them on the website for $16.95 for 4 kits. Well, I have 100 sets set aside for a special offer for TSP listeners- use the code “tspeye” and get a set of 4 for $10!

Full details and even a video are on our website here http://store.oldgrouch.biz/hhcoeyeshlot.html

Make sure to check your shipping options as you checkout, on these USPS will offer the lowest rates for most people unless you are buying with other items.

~ Tim
