NOTE – Due to an error Paul Wheaton’s segment got double played on the show today. I have fixed it and the current file is good. If you downloaded the show in the first 20 minutes after it was published you may have the one with the double play on it.

Today its Friday so it’s time for the 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 on The Survival Podcast, the expert council answers questions on permaculture, the kissing bug, dogs, pastured turkey, investing, insurance 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.

Hey Jack, At 1:12:55 Steven’s segment ends early and John’s segment starts already in progress. Thanks for the show.

I’m definitely not an expert, but I think you handled the life insurance question well. Our financial guy puts it like this: “The purpose of life insurance is to provide for those you love, if you die – that which you would provide if you live.” For example, if you’re providing $50K/yr to support your family, you need enough life insurance to provide that much from income generated by investing the death benefit. That amounts to more than most people realize, but I think it’s sound advice. If you’re not supporting anyone, there’s no need for life insurance (provided you’re leaving enough to bury yourself).
