4-in-1 Immersion Blender – 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 the 4-in-1 Immersion Blender. This item first came into my life when Dorothy and I made a batch of the famous squash and apple soup we serve at workshops. This soup is basically butternut squash, onions and apples along with some other stuff. You roast the squash and apples, saute the onions, put it all in a big pot with chicken stock … Continue reading →

When I say “ditch fishing” am a using a common term amount anglers who fish very small bodies of water in urban, suburban and even somewhat rural environments. While some really could be called actual ditches, most are more accurately small creeks and road crossings are ideal places to gain access to them. This is a true survival skill, one practiced for a long as such small creeks have existed. It fed everyone from country boys, to poor kids like me in the 80s, and even the hobos of the 1860s-1950s. Today we look at this skill, how to find … Continue reading →

The real dangers are more what sentient humans, either due to poor decisions or malicious intent may do with AI. Along with the harsh reality that many of societies’ systems are ill prepared for the disruptions that are coming. And I even through in a bonus 11th threat that honestly should scare the hell out of us.  All of these scenarios are dangerous and all far more likely … Continue reading →

Diablo 12-Inch Pruning Reciprocating Saw Blades – 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 the Diablo 12-Inch Pruning Reciprocating Saw Blade.  I have always been a fan of using Reciprocating Saws (IE Sawzalls) as a tool for pruning trees or removing small trees where a chain saw would be over kill.  It is especially nice for small trees that you want to cut off flush to the ground.  They also make a less damaging cut when … Continue reading →

LIZZQ Premium Pellet Smoker Tube – 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 the LIZZQ Premium Pellet Smoker Tube.  Up until now I recommended a tube made by a company called Cave Tools.  I loved it but it has now been “out of stock” for almost a year, I think the supply chain crunch killed it.  Smoker tubes are too wonderful for me not to have one in the TspAz catalog so I went out … Continue reading →
