So today we will talk a bit about foraging and hunting and where they fit into all this but that is not the main topic.  I am talking hunting and gathering like behavior on your own homestead be it 1000 acres or 1000 square feet. The term hunter/gather is tossed around a lot but we seldom look at the actual lifestyle of such people.  What is it composed of?  We such people do either grow or gather “survival rations” things you can store long term for when times get lean.  But in general they are like omnivorous human grazers.

I got an email today that went like this about how one listener is using permaculture design to not just redesign his property but his life and health.   The abbreviated version is he was taking his “personal time” in the evenings.  That led to drinking too much, not enough time with the family, eating junk food, etc. The solution as always is dramatically simple, he simply started getting up earlier and using the early AM for his personal time.  Instead of junk food his personal time is now full of getting shit done, and that alone time we all need … Continue reading →

One Simple Rule Our Schools will Never Teach Our Children

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

The one rule we should teach at the core of all ethics in our schools but never will is called the Non-Aggression Principle (or NAP).  The non-aggression principle is simply an ethical stance that asserts that aggression is inherently wrong. In this context, “aggression” is defined as initiating or threatening any forcible interference with an individual or individual’s property. To put it simply I have no right to use force, violence or coercion on you to make you do what I want you to do or to take your rightful property.  My one true obligation to you as a fellow human … Continue reading →
