Love the podcast and the site. You should add Mark Steyn’s new book After America. One of the most frightening books I’ve read and I’m only a few chapters in.

Earth4Energy is a scam.

And did you manage to build cheap solar panels? I would be very interested. Commercial solar panels (230 Wp) cost about 230 euro (so about 300 dollars) and you have to add a converter which can cost quite a bit of money too (say 800 euro). I adds up to quite a bit of money.

Jack,

Just finished 77 days in September. It was awesome. Your show is in the resource section in the end. I got it for a small price from amazon. Though you might be interested and know that part of your community has ready it and enjoyed it.

Thanks for what you do.

Caught you on the Glen Beck show last night. Very interesting.
We live in southern Colorado and we have found that gardening isn’t as easy here. I wold love any suggestions that folks have on gardening in this area.

Hi Jack!
Im a book junkie and I was wondering if you had any recommendations for canning/freezing/dehydrating/long term storage of foods. There are so many books available, but most are not geared towards the prepper mindset. Thanks!

Looks like the Amazon link for “What to Do When the Shit Hits the Fan” is no longer active…

Jack, what is the name of the book or the author that you worked with to write the real estate sales guide book.  1% or 10% something or other….

I know this is an older post, but still a good one, you can also add SAS Urban Survival Handbook by John “Lofty” Wiseman. I can see you have his “regular” book on the list.
Thanks, from Canada

Hey Jack,

Long time fan and avid listener, I was curious if you had any recommendations on learning about animal husbandry such as a book or even a course to take. I have a general sense being brought up on a farm in the south but would like to learn as much as possible. Thanks for all you do!

Can there be a category added for Kitchen books.. fermenting, kitchen techniques, etc.? There have been several good food podcasts recently that I think that would be fitting. I am especially interesting in a good book on kitchen techniques for a fairly experienced home cook.

Thanks!
