Sadaf Sumac – Item of the Day

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 Sadaf Sumac.  Note that this is middle eastern sumac not our native variety here in North America.  While there are some similar characteristics sumac from the Mediterranean and Arabic parts of the world is a different species with a long history of culinary use.

I put out a little video yesterday about the progress of our Bantam Chickens at Nine Mile Farm.  I just love the personality of these pint sized chickens and they are coming along nicely.  Someone asked this question in the comments section… Why bantams and not full size chickens? They are small and lay small eggs. I would think that they would be best for someone with limited space? It is a totally reasonable question.  There are really two angles in it though.  One is some reality, they do lay smaller eggs and they are good for someone with limited … Continue reading →

Jason van Gumster does a lot of things. Mostly he make stuff up. He writes, animates, and occasionally teaches. He’s got heavy entrepreneurial tendencies that run nearly as deep as his creative ones, so he has a constant fascination with producing creative content with as much control and independence as possible.

Resources for today’s show… Follow Life With Jack … Continue reading →

The world liberty has been elevated to what was once referred to in an old episode of Star Trek a “worship word”.  Yet many seem to not even truly understand what the world liberty means.  They seem to feel it means voting for their side so that only the things they want restricted or taxed are restricted or taxed. Liberty is the freedom to live as you choose until such time as you interfere with the liberty of others.  That and only that is true liberty.  Liberty can’t come from government and government also is not able to defend it.  … Continue reading →

Holler Roast is Growing – Help Nicole Take it to the Next Level

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

Holler Roast Coffee is ready to grow and they are pre-selling coffee and other cool benefits in a crowdfunding campaign, to get this done before the Christmas rush. Back in 2017 when I first met Nicole, she presented her side hustle at my spring workshop. She declared in front of the whole room that she did not want to roast coffee as a full-time business. And at that moment, I saw this look come over her face as if she had just heard herself tell a lie and knew it. And a few weeks later, when I interviewed her on … Continue reading →
