TSP Rewind – Downward Class Migration – Epi-228

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes.  Today’s episode was originally Episode-761- Downward Class Migration and originally aired on Oct 12th, 2011.  The notes below are the original notes from that episode. I have been predicting downward class migration in the coming years but the more research I do the more I realize that it is actively occurring and has been for the last 50 years. In reality it is only the illusions created by easy consumer level debt that has hidden the drop in class level over the past few decades. The … Continue reading →

Happy Frog Cavern Culture Fertilizer – 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 Happy Frog Cavern Culture Fertilizer.  This item really shines it two areas.  The first is it is an amazing source of phosphorus and it is primary made up of rock dust and guano.  The guano is a combination of sea bird and bat manure.  This phosphorus content is highly beneficial to the flowering phase of plants. The other big benefit is a … Continue reading →

The first time I used the phrase “from home to homestead” on the show was quite a while ago.  How long ago you ask?  That would have been Episode 20 recorded on July 22, 2008.  This concept so resonated with people it became not just a common discussion topic, it actually inspired one couple (Johnny Max and his wife, AKA “The Queen”) to run an entire podcast for a number of years on the concept. I realized while we talk a ton about the concept of homesteading we have not looked at it from this angle in a while, so … Continue reading →

Lifegard Aquatics Threaded Bulkheads – 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 Lifegard Aquatics Threaded Bulkheads.  In my estimation they are one of the best deals on bulkheads in the market and they are very reliable.  You can get them in sizes… 1/2″  3/4″ 1″ 1.5″   You should also check out the versions that are “slip” on both sides which eliminate the need for a threaded adapter all together. Those you can also … Continue reading →

Announcing the GrowNostr Initiative – Epi-3288

Having been on Nostr now for about a month and having banked a nice stack of satoshis in that time I have come to really appreciate what Nostr is all about.  In other words by using it, I get it.  There are some hiccups, this thing is brand new and not everything works all the time.  But Nostr is really not even a beta product yet, more like pre alpha.  So that will correct in time. The one legitimate complaint by members of my audience is that the conversation is dominated by Bitcoin talk.  This makes sense as Nostr’s first … Continue reading →

Let’s Grow Nostr

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

So I have been on Nostr about a month and I know it is the future of communications and many forms of commerce.  Nostr is not a platform, it is a protocol.  You can use your choice of popular clients to access it.  This may seem confusing until you compare it to another service that is a protocol, email. Let’s say you use Proton Mail and I use my own server here at TSP and Outlook as my client.  When you send me an email, I get it and respond to it, it isn’t confusing is it?  Just think of … Continue reading →
