Today we discuss a concept that is very old to me merged with a term that is brand new to me.  It is called Rebel Canning.  Rebel Canners are communities of people using traditional canning methods that gasp, ignore many recommendations by the USDA for canning.  These people however are not adult children.  The spirit in these groups is not I won’t do what you say simply because I want to be a rebel.  More I am a rebel because I can think for myself and your rules do not really make sense at all. But how could the USDA … Continue reading →

NESCO/Cary Smart Pressure Canner and Cooker – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 80

Special Notice – I want to clear up some confusion.  For a long time I have recommended the Chard/Carry Smart Pressure Canner and Cooker.  That caused confusion as Chard consolidated under the Carry Brand as they were actually both brands, (think say GM and Chevy).  Not long ago Nesco bought out the Cary Company.  This canner/cooker is the exact same model the only thing they change is the name they print on it.  You still see them both ways, they are the exact same thing. Every day I will bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or … Continue reading →

Right now all the talk in the media is about a woman who was shot in her vehicle by an ICE agent.  Most of the talk is of course retarded and angled to support the left’s claim that ICE murdered a woman in cold blood.  But what really happened, that is just one thing we will look at today.  We will also revisit the new food pyramid we discussed on Thursday and the left’s predictable reaction to it, but what is the real source of anger about it?  Also quietly last month the USDA reallocated almost 700 million dollars to … Continue reading →

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 1

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 OLIGHT Arkfeld Ultra EDC Flashlight.  I absolutely love this thing and at a price over 100 bucks that says something.  I am not known to be cheap but I am very focused on a price to value ratio.  I recommend a lot of good lights at 30-60 bucks and they are great for what they are, this Olight though is just … Continue reading →

Over the holiday break I got out and did a bit of fishing for a variety of things but mainly just some bullhead catfish to add to my back yard ponds.  I also started to reorganize my gear after a recent surf trip and as part of my winter routine.  Then on top if it had a text conversation with a good friend about fishing.  Turns out the guy is a huge fan of catfish so I was giving him some advice on using things like range cubes for chum.  He didn’t know what range cubes were so I texted … Continue reading →

Merten & Storck Carbon Steel Skillets – 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 Merten & Storck Carbon Steel Skillets.  I have recommended the Lodge brand a long time and there is nothing wrong with them, but they could be better.  Problem is most carbon steel skillets that are measurably better are stupid expensive. So how would I improve Lodge Skillets if I could.  First I would do better milling of the surface so it was … Continue reading →

This is one of the laws of life in my new book which is almost done being written.  The law itself sounds simple and brutal but trust me as you will see today it isn’t really either, at least in the way it may appear to be.  While we will discuss physical conflict today, this law is more applicable to the office, the board room or in family arguments then on the mean streets. You see all “conflict” is a form of a fight and all fights should follow certain principles.  The first of which is the principle of non … Continue reading →
