Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes.  Today’s episode was originally Episode-2320- Ten Basic Preparedness Questions Answered & was originally first published on Oct 30th, 2018. The notes below are the original notes from that episode. I feel we need to do more fundamentals shows than we have been doing lately.  I almost called them beginner shows but I don’t feel that is really what they are.  While great for beginners fundamentals are for everyone. Back when I played various sports, even when I got to an advanced level we often worked on … Continue reading →

The notes below are the original notes from that episode. I see and hear versions of this admittedly extreme version of why survivalists are nuts all the time. I just talked to a guy that pointed out how “we were all gonna die from swine flu” and it turned out to be nothing but “a bunch of bullshit”. I guess he hadn’t listened … Continue reading →

Most of today’s show is a recreation of 2008’s Christmas special. Today we pause and take a moment to reflect on Christmas and how it has become the Holiday we celebrate today.

Anker Soundcore P20i Wireless Earbuds

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

You guys know me a shutdown for the holidays is my thing and I don’t do much if any work during that time.  But I just got a pricing alert on Anker Soundcore P20i Wireless Earbuds for 50% off. Anker is my favorite value brand for electronics.  Day to day they have better gear than big brands at a fraction of the cost.  At the regular retail of 40 bucks the Anker Soundcore P20i Wireless Earbuds are a great deal.  Equal in quality in my opinion to 150 dollar Apple Airpods.  I’ll put it this way, I own these, my … Continue reading →

Join me today as we are joined by Michael Milito to discuss guns for the modern survivalist.  Michael is a veteran of both the US Army and US Marine Corps, a former Urban Warfare instructor, LAPD officer and is currently the host of the Gunfighter Life Podcast.
