Permaculture Institute Certificate

PI-USA logoThose who successfully complete the “Creating Gaia’s Garden” course will receive a certificate from The Permaculture Institute USA, a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 1997 by Bill Mollison and Scott Pittman, and will also receive 10 credit hours toward a Diploma in Permaculture. PI-USA is one of the principal certifying organizations of the international permaculture community, and Toby Hemenway is a Field Director for the Institute, which means that he can offer certificates sponsored by PI-USA, and can mentor students through the Institute’s Diploma Program.

The Diploma in Permaculture is awarded to individuals who meet certain education requirements, achieve excellence in permaculture practice, demonstrate their commitment to permaculture ethics, and submit adequate evidence of their work to a committee of peers (College of Diplomats) for review and recommendations.

A permaculture design certificate course (PDC) is a pre-requisite for the diploma, but the credit hours from the ”Creating Gaia’s Garden” online course can be applied toward the diploma regardless of whether the student has completed a PDC prior to this course or not. The credit hours from this course cannot be applied toward the PDC at the present time. More information about PI-USA’s diploma program can be found at http://www.permaculture.org/what/diploma/

Episode-1861- Marcin Jakubowski on Open Source Ecology

Episode-1861- Marcin Jakubowski on Open Source Ecology [ 1:06:59 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

ose

Marcin Jakubowski is a Polish-American who came to the U.S. from Poland as a child. He graduated with honors from Princeton and earned his Ph.D. in fusion physics from the University of Wisconsin. Frustrated with the lack of relevance to pressing world issues in his education, he founded Open Source Ecology in 2003 in order to make closed-loop manufacturing a reality.

He began development of the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS)—an open source tool set of 50 industrial machines necessary to create a small civilization with modern comforts. His work has recently been recognized as a 2012 TED Senior Fellow, in Time Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2012, as a 2013 Shuttleworth Foundation Fellow, and a White House Champion of Change in 2013.

Marcin joins us to discuss Open Source Ecology (OSE) and Open Building Institute (OBI) and how they are launching a joint project to make affordable, ecological housing accessible to everyone—using a library of engineered modules and a series of rapid-build procedures.

Beginning in 2016, the project plans to offer aspiring home owners all the designs and tools necessary to build a 700 square foot Expandable Starter Home at 1/10th the cost of an average new home. This incremental home is loaded with ecological features and can be built in 5 days—from raw materials—and then expanded as needed.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull – Item of the Day

Posted on August 31, 2016 by Modern Survival| 1 Comment

jlsEvery day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.

Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is a book written all the way back in 1970 by Richard Bach, it is called Jonathan Livingston Seagull.  Many people today have not heard of this book but between 1970-1972 it sold over a million copies.  It is a brief and easy read and a multi faceted story.

Many see it as a purely spiritual story, one examining life today and life after death.  It certainly can be.  It also can be more seen as I do as a lesson about life and what it takes to make a difference.

What I have learned as I have aged is that the more one does to help others the more he at times will be looked upon harshly by those we would call the “status quo”.  To move forward requires change, those in charge have no interest in change for obvious reasons.

I will simply say of this book, that much of the philosophy you hear me talk about has at least some roots in this book.  This is a great book for a planned down time or reboot.  It would be a great read on vacation, on a camping trip or what have you.  Again it is a deep story but light reading, it can be read in say 90 minutes without speed reading, but you will likely read it more than once, in fact you will likely read it many times.

FWIW, yes, Jonathan Livingston Seagull is an actual seagull and the story is about seagulls, how exactly does that work, well you will have to read it to find out.

Remember you can always find the TSP Amazon Item of the day by just going to TspAz.com and by shopping at TspAz.com anytime you shop on Amazon you help support TSP and the work we do here no matter what you buy.

Episode-1860- Fun, Training and Family Time With Airsoft Guns

Posted on August 30, 2016 by Modern Survival| 25 Comments
Episode-1860- Fun, Training and Family Time With Airsoft Guns [ 1:26:50 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
The KWA LM4-PTR is a "Professional Training Rifle" Designed for Military and Police Training with Airsoft.

The KWA LM4-PTR is a “Professional Training Rifle” Designed for Military and Police Training with Airsoft.

Today we delve into the misunderstood world of airsoft.  I think airsoft has an unfair and undeserved stigma among many of the “tactically minded” due to the majority of enthusiasts being gamers.  While I have no interest in the game aspects of airsoft I feel even this community is misunderstood and many unfair assumptions are made about them.

Today though I will focus on what I call “Airsoft for Practical Training”.  By that I mean real world training that benefits the average civilian that either carries a gun for defense or keeps a gun in their home for the same purpose or both.

While I love things like IDPA and IPSC shooting and I have great respect for the many tactical training schools like my good friends Frank Sharpe Jr. and James Yeager run, or even the big time schools like Front Sight provide, I don’t find what they teach particularly valuable to the average guy with a job, two kids, wife and a dog to protect from a group of thugs or an armed intruder in the middle of the night.

Join me today to discuss…

  • The reason people dislike airsoft
    • It is just a toy
    • Gamers that think they are heroes
    • It isn’t realistic (rate of fire, machine guns, etc.)
  • Why people should love airsoft if they are gun owners
    • Cheap practice
    • Practice every day
    • Realistic practice (in ways you never thought of)
  • The basics of airsoft guns
    • Springers
    • AEG (automatic electric guns)
    • Gas (blow back and non blow back)
      • CO2 and “Green Gas”
    • Pellets, yes they matter
      • Just forget .12 they are flatly junk and ruin guns
      • .20 is the most common and the “industry standard”
      • Generally, .25-.36 can be more accurate in many guns
      • The heavier they are the more they cost
    • Guns I own and what I like about them
    • Getting started
      • Springers are cheap and do work for draw and shoot practice
      • I would avoid AEGs for practical training
      • I would avoid CO2 due to long term economics
      • Almost all “green gas” guns are blow back gun
      • Get an adapter and run propane
      • Use your carry holster if you carry
      • Don’t get bogged down in deep tech specs
      • If your gun doesn’t have a “clone” get something close
      • Search google for “model name airsoft gas blow back”
      • Why it is hard to find some specific GBB Clones
    • Some training ideas
      • Every morning/evening quick shoot
      • Practicing after dark with a light
      • Play “knock out” with your kids
      • Draw and shoot, make safe, return to holster, repeat
      • Variations on draw and shoot
    • Target ideas
      • Professional airsoft steel
      • Sheet metal cut outs
      • Heavy steel – (nice because it works for lead pellets too)
      • Heavy plastic jugs
      • Cheap pots and pans (Walmart, Dollar Store, Goodwill)
    • Spreading gun rights and gun ownership with airsoft

Resources for today’s show…

Some Good Places to Buy Airsoft Guns

Some Good Low Cost Guns and Accessories on Amazon – Like I said on the air I had lousy luck with the few people offering GBB guns on Amazon, use the stores above for that.  But here are some things you can get on Amazon.

Tickets for the Fall Workshop Go On Sale Friday Sept 2nd.

Posted on August 29, 2016 by Modern Survival| 3 Comments

tspclass7

Here is how it is going to go.  On Friday at 9AM central standard time I will add a special link to the home page of the Member’s Area of the MSB.  You can log in and click on that link to reserve your spot.  When I do that I will post here that registration is open.   Spots will be reserved for MSB members only for the first 24 hours.

On Saturday at 9AM if and it is a big IF, any seats remain I will open it to any and all to sign up.  So if you are an MSB member you may want to log in now and make sure your account is in current standing, that you have the right password etc. before Friday morning if you want to come.

Dates – The class dates are Oct. 27-29 but most students choose to set up camp on the 26th.  You can arrive on property any time after 2PM on the 26th.  Most students, especially those who camp on site, will stay over until the 30th.  We request everyone off property by 11:30 AM on the 30th.

Location – for those who have not been here before our property is located near Lakeside Texas, which is just north of Fort Worth.  If you are flying in, DFW Airport is the best bet to fly into.  It is about a 30 minute drive from our house, if you take the toll express lane, trust me, pay the five bucks or it is an hour of hell instead!  You don’t even need to pay the toll, just take the express lane and they will send you a bill in the mail if you don’t have a toll tag.  Big brother at his finest.

Cost and Payment – Cost is 500 dollars per student.  We take a 100 dollar deposit to hold your spot with balance due when you show up.  You need to pay your deposit with paypal but you don’t need a paypal account.  You can use a major credit/debit card to make your deposit payment.

Couples and Families – Due to the extreme limited spots in this event couples will have to pay for both parties and will have to complete two separate forms to do that.  Kids under 18 are free if accompanied by an adult, limit two per family.  Conditions for your kids include the following.

First you are 100% responsible for your kids, they are expected to be part of the event, not running around messing with our animals or breaking things.   Please do not drag your kid to this event, bring only older children that considers attendance an opportunity.

Second, this is an adult event, there will be drinking, “adult words spoken” etc, if you are not okay with this, do not bring children to this event. People will be up late, making noise, you get the picture.

Third I get final approval, if you reserve a spot and intend to bring a minor, email me with details to make sure it is going to be okay.  I am going to want to know age, maturity level, etc.  I don’t mean to be a hard ass about this but we have a LOT going on in taking care of everyone.  My rule used to be no kids but the few we have allowed in have been really great, so I am doing this on a case by case basis.  If I end up saying no and that is a deal breaker for you I will happily refund your deposit.

Refunds on Deposits – I have what I think is a very fair deal on this.  If you decide in 48 hours of locking in your spot you want to cancel, I refund you no questions asked.  After that if a true emergency occurs like a death or illness in the family, something involving work you can’t get out of, I refund 100% of your deposit.  Otherwise this is my rule, if I can sell the spot, you get a refund, if I can’t you don’t.  This is because sometimes people cancel a day or two before the event, when that happens it is hard to sell the spot which would have otherwise sold and been filled.

This is going to be the most awesome workshop we have ever done, just check out the schedule.

Presentation Details

Gasification is an old technology, with a history going back as far the nineteenth century. Before the dominance of liquid fuels, gasification was a technology widely known in Europe. In fact, during WWII, over one million automobiles were fitted to run on wood gas, primarily due to the shortage of petroleum-based fuels.

It seems gasification emerges from obscurity whenever there is an energy crisis, and because of its ubiquity, and low barrier of entry, it has become a favorite to those interested in alternative energy, preparedness, and sustainability.

This presentation is designed to introduce the viewers to the technology, and present a path forward for those who wish to incorporate it into their energy package. We will be discussing the science, the variations (biomass vs. charcoal gasification), the feasibility and/or practicality—based on your climate, biome, and context—and the holistic strategy to make it all come together.

  • Introduction & History
  • The New Pioneers
  • The Science
  • The Various Designs
  • The Market
  • The DIY Community
  • Related Technology
  • The Holistic Strategy

Prof. CJ – Of The Dangerous History Podcast

CJ Killmer has been teaching college history since 2006, but he has been a smartass, iconoclast, and cynical questioner and critic of authority since he was a kid.

Naturally, these attitudes have influenced his take on history.

In 2014, he started the Dangerous History Podcast, a show that covers a wide variety of history topics from an individualist-anarchist perspective, combining education and entertainment with the ultimate goal of empowerment.

Today we discuss the historical reality of societal collapses in history, both long ago and very recently.  We also take a look at the causes of societal collapse beyond the surface examples usually given.  Further we look at what our future holds and what lessons we can learn from past collapses.
