Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the Dura Heat Convection Kerosene Heater. What!  My God Jack don’t you know how dangerous those things are?  Hold on, calm down, let’s take a look at this concern. We now live in a society where they put, “do not iron clothes while wearing them” as a warning label on irons.  Think about that for a moment please.  Oven doors have a … Continue reading →

Jack’s Bourbon Cooled Sumatra Coffee is Back at Holler Roast

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

Jack’s Bourbon Cooled Sumatra is back in stock at Holler Roast Coffee. Better, it is a new harvest year, and this crop is stellar. It was a good year for coffee growers in Indonesia and, especially, in the northern Sumatran region where the Mandheling variety is grown. The flavor profile of Jack’s Bourbon Cooled Sumatra has shifted with the harvest. It has notes of earthiness, brown sugar, dried dates, maple syrup, and a nice, subtle acidity. Bourbon-cooling these beans brings out sweet tones of chocolate and a hint of licorice. We quietly released 200 pounds of Jack’s signature coffee late … Continue reading →

Long ago, we are talking 2008 here I started this podcast.  I wanted to talk about all things modern survival related.  To me nothing is more rooted in our survival than the ability to feed ourselves so I started talking about gardening.  Still with tons of guns and gear types showing up in the early days I wondered if garden type shows would be well received.  Not only were they but they became some of the most popular episodes I have ever done. Within that group shows dedicated to a group of plants you can or should grow, especially lesser … Continue reading →

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

Every 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 are Fuel Gas Can Jug Vents.  Now look this is technically something you are not supposed to do, because the government ruined gas cans long ago and this fixes them.  I first caught onto this idea long ago when I saw the video called, “How to Fix a New Gas Can” by Double Survivalists a few years ago. If you watch the video … Continue reading →

Last week I discussed a YouTube video called “The Tool Box Fallacy” (a video by Passion of the Nerd on YouTube) and I challenged you guys to state a life goal that you have been holding back on due to this fallacy.  So far six audience members have written in and told me the goal they had and the metaphorical needed tool box that was holding them back and stated their intention to just get it done. Well 6 people willing to step up is enough for me so today we are digging into this at a deeper level. The … Continue reading →

Time for a two fer Tuesday.  Rather than cover one of these subjects in deep detail I plan to cover both with enough of the basics for you to just be able to understand the primary concepts and get started with both.  First on saving seed, the good news is this is really easy and man has been doing it with no special equipment for about as long as he has understood what seeds were.  It is simple to do and the key is picking the things that work best for you. Starting plants is actually a bit more complicated, … Continue reading →
