Today we’re diving into the underground world of fungi with Olga from Mushroom Mountain. She grew up foraging mushrooms in the forests of Bosnia and Hercegovina, learning from her grandparents which ones to eat, which to toss, and how to live with the land instead of just on it. These days, she runs Mushroom Mountain, a powerhouse operation producing spawn for edible and medicinal varieties, plus mushroom extracts and honeys under the Mycomatrix label. But that’s just scratching the surface. Olga also leads a wild mushroom food safety certification program that’s FDA-endorsed and accepted by seven states so far. She’s … Continue reading →

Last week I was at the LFTN 25 Workshop put on by my good friend Nicole Sauce. While there, one of the fellow presenters was talking about applying permaculture in suburban settings. She had done an amazing job transforming her backyard into a productive, beautiful space. But when it came to the front yard? That’s where the “Karens” and the HOA enforcers drew the line. Nicole pointed out to me, “You haven’t covered that in a while.” She’s right, it’s time to revisit how to stick it to the rule-makers while still playing the game better than they do. Today, … Continue reading →

Landscaping with Fruit by Lee Reich – 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 Item of the day is Landscaping with Fruit by Lee Reich.  I decided to bring this book around today because it pairs perfectly with Episode 3662 of the podcast, “Edible Ops: Behind Enemy Lines.” (To be released by 3PM CDT today) While that episode focuses on stealth gardening and edible ornamentals, this book brings the fruit side of the equation into focus; helping you integrate fruit production into your … Continue reading →

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

Joel and I talked about this recently in TN. He is trying to finish moving into the house he built in Ohio, and needs a final boost to get the electric setup. So we worked out a deal where there’s something in it for everyone. Joel never has sales on his dogs, but for this one time, he is offering a 10% sale on any of his trained dogs.  I own a Fortress K9 we call Belle and she is an amazing dog.  Agile, brave and loving. Now Joel never and I mean never does a discount but he is … Continue reading →

The headlines are full of noise, but the real story is deeper and way bigger than most people realize. We’ll break down what’s really going on behind the scenes: why Cantor Fitzgerald, Tether, SoftBank, and Jack Mallers are teaming up, what 21 Capital’s true business model is likely to be, and how it could completely reshape Bitcoin’s role in finance.

In this episode I was joined by author and fellow podcaster Rob Wolf.  We discussed paleo nutrition and the misconceptions in modern nutritional science.  We also discuss his new entry into the world of Permaculture.  Interviewing Robb was like talking to an old friend and more like having a bad ass co-host than a typical guest interview.  I loved learning from him and I loved his openness to learn more about modern agricultural problems as well. Today’s episode of Friday Flashbacks was originally published on 12-9-11 and was originally Episode-800- Robb Wolf on Paleo Nutrition and Permaculture The show notes … Continue reading →

Mushroom Mountain added to the MSB

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

This is a big win for the MSB and I am also really excited about it.  I have used mushroom spawn as many of you know for a long time in conditioning garden soils and helping to really blow up the results from bioreactor compost.  In that time I have used many different suppliers of sawdust spawn but Mushroom Mountain due to price, service and availability became my go to supplier. Well I reached out to them this year and was able to work out a deal for you guys in the Member’s Brigade. How this?  15% off everything at … Continue reading →
