Expert Council Questions and Answers for Friday the 13th!

Today is Friday so it is time for our ask expert council show. To ask a question for a show like this, just send an email to me at jack at thesurvivalpodcast.com with “TSPC Expert” in the subject line.

Today the expert council answers questions on plant cuttings, alternative energy, fencing, homestead, livestock, snakes and more.

In the body of your email first tell me the council member your question is for. Second ask your question concisely in one to two sentences maximum. Third any and all details after that. This is the formula to give you the best chance of getting on the air.

I do what I can to get as many of your questions as possible on the air but can’t always get to all of them. Our council is made of a wide variety of experts in everything from the tactical to the practical and everything in between.

To get more information on our Expert Council visit our “Meet the Expert Council Page” to learn more about them and their specific areas of expertise.

Jack, loved your answer on snakes and snake behavior. You explained something I saw years ago: a garter snake rattling its tail in some dry leaves on the patio. What made this mimicry slightly less effective as a threat was that the snake was maybe all of 10″ long and about as big around as a pencil. I had to laugh. I know it was instinct but I felt like awarding points for attitude.

I’ve not seen any of the local garter snakes do this but have had some big, long gopher snakes play this game. It’s hilarious, but only after you realize it’s NOT actually a rattler. Before that = adrenaline check!

For a minute there I thought this was going to be the episode where Jack interviews Jason Vorhees about making human biltong. =)

Any ideas on handling 2 legged snakes? The ones commonly found in corporate pits.

In the History Segment your fascinating aside on The Geodesy Series by Piers Anthony lead me to search for it without luck. So now am thinking it’s something else by Mr Anthony as the Geodesy Series by Susan Michalski doesn’t seem to be about linguistics or have the historical scope. If you think of which Piers Anthony books you meant I’d love to know.

But I recommend starting with Isle of Women the first book and it is the first link I gave you.

Thanks very much, have ordered it. As am in France I do use Amazon UK to order books in English. If you can do your Amazon ordering thing on Amazon UK the ex-pat listeners of your excellent podcasts who live this side of the Atlantic would use it….
