Today we look at mayhem around the world.  A huge US build up near Iran but will it go kenetic?  The Cartel is going ape in Mexico but will it simply be a short term temper tantrum?  The joy of socialism continues in NYC.  The Dutch just passed an “unrealized gains” tax which might have global consequences.  Did we have another assassination attempt or simply suicide by stupid?  We will also dig into some more positive and typical news things today. Join Me Today to Discuss… NYC is expecting epic snow, so they are hiring citizens to shovel, but multiple … Continue reading →

VEVOR DZ-260 Chamber Vacuum Sealer – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 15

Today’s Item of the Day is from Vevor, it is their DZ-260 Chamber Vacuum Sealer. (Remember to use code VVPROMO to get 5% off anything you buy from Vevor with my links) In the video at the end of this review I compare it to my 1100 dollar Vac Master 230 and honestly performance wise they are pretty much equal except for a few nitpicks.  Given the Vac Master is 1100 bucks and the Vevor often retails at 430 bucks and is on sale as of the time of this post for only 330 bucks, those nit picks don’t matter … Continue reading →

Developing systems and procedures, ie, maintenance regimes, and things similar to the documentation package you talk about. Calculating risk/cost benefit analysis, ie, is it best to just let a lawn mower run until it dies, compared to letting a generator run until it dies ` Abraham Pitman is a field service engineer, homesteader, and practical prepper based in North Queensland, … Continue reading →

School is marketed as key to success in life. Yet if we look at what defines real success and an exceptional life, much of what we are trained to do in school is an impediment to our goals.  On top of schooling be it K-12 or university we are also trained by the media, the government and “society”.   Much of this training is far more about conformity and keeping us easily controlled. Today we discuss 20 things were are trained to believe that must be unlearned if you want full control over your life and future. Join Me Today to … Continue reading →

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 Energizer Power Failure Lights 3-Pack.  This is one of those “why didn’t I do this sooner” items. I’ve had these little guys plugged in around the house for a while now, and every time the power goes out, I’m reminded why I recommend them. They’re not for camping or travel, they’re for that exact moment when everything suddenly goes black and … Continue reading →

Dorloti Propane Torch Weed Burner – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 2

SPECIAL NOTE – This item was discontinued under the previous brand name of Gagiter, but is now sold under the name Dorloti.  I have ordered one under the new brand and inspected them side by side, they are 100% identical in all ways.  This is quite common for “off brand” products that come out of China.  It is still the best value for this type of tool I have found.   So while the video at the end has a different torch in it, they are identical.  Even the marketing images/cretatives are the same other than the change in brand name. … Continue reading →
