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 →

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 2

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 →

Peter Quinones is the host of the “The Peter Quinones Show” which was formally known as “Free Man Beyond the Wall”.  If you don’t listen to Peter but he seems familiar to you it may be because he was one of the founding members of the “Unloose the Goose” group.  A sort of podcasting supergroup I helped found back in 2020. Peter reached out to me on Facebook about coming on the air to discuss “community organizing” from an liberty view point.  I think this may merge quite well with my prior shows like Rules for Radicals for the Right … Continue reading →

We are just a few days from Valentines day.  For me that is when I want most of my seeds started for spring set out.  I use that date as a cut off because I tend to set my plants out starting about March 15th.  This is also the time of year when my inbox starts to heat up with questions about the coming garden season and one topic always exceeds all others.  No not which variety of tomato to plant, not which fertility aid to use or what to use for mulch.  No the number one question is always … Continue reading →
