I did a lot of work this weekend and wore myself out pretty good.  Rather than a structured show I am going to just discuss a few different topics.  Some stuff on CoVid specifically a new potential treatment and some new results about anti body testing and random infection rates that seem to surprise everyone but me. I am also going to discuss some of the things I have been doing at my place.  Two new hydroponics systems are now installed, the new gardens are off to a good start and the place is green as green gets.  Sadly the … Continue reading →

Let’s start out with this, today’s show is not “since there is a pandemic you should run to a bug out location, or go buy one”.  Rather we have discussed bugging in (what everyone is doing) and bugging out (what only those with very well prepped BOLs are doing right now) many times.  As I thought about our old property in Arkansas I began to consider what it would be like if we still lived there right now. I also started thinking what if we had not sold it when we left?  Would we go up there right now?  My … Continue reading →

A Note about Amazon Delivery Times vs. Quoted Times

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

This is just a quick observation, it may not play out everywhere.  Keep in mind I am not in but near DFW (Dallas – Fort Worth) which is a major market by any definition of the word. What I have observed though is Amazon is in a major mode of under promise and over deliver on shipping times.  This is a not always but often type of thing.  Here is the first key though, is the item showing as in stock currently? If so I say MOST times expect your item in 2-4 days no matter what the shipping estimate … Continue reading →
