Today on The Survival Podcast the expert council covers a wide range of real world topics. We kick things off with Joel Ryals on getting obedience from your dog the first time, every time, without turning your relationship into a constant battle. Jesse Markowitz then digs into whether Start9 actually makes sense for data storage and remote access, or if it is just another shiny tech toy for privacy nerds. Matthew Sercely follows that up with a hard look at whether social media “experts” pitching trusts as magic tax savings tools are selling real strategy or just reheated snake oil.
Ryan Steva joins us to break down whether solar components actually age from time itself or mostly from use, along with recommendations on alternator chargers, power stations, Victron charge controllers and LiFePO4 batteries. Mike Milito talks steel competition shooting, how to get started, and what gear matters versus what is just expensive noise. Antonino Gatto covers the leap from a great idea to actually executing on your first rental property. I wrap things up with why so much store bought ground meat cooks up like little meat pellets instead of real browned beef, and how to fix it in your own kitchen.
Make sure if you submit content for an expert council show you do the following….
- Email it to me at jack @ thesurvivalpodcast.com
- Put TSPC Expert in the subject line
- Ask you question and state the expert you have the question for in one coherent sentence
- Hit the return key a few times and then give all the details you think are necessary
`
Following that procedure makes it about 100X more likely your question will get though screening and sent on to one of our experts. All expert council members can be found on the Meet the Expert Council Page.

One thing to be aware of is that LiFePO4 cells are quite temperature sensitive so if folks are buying these expensive all-in-one systems, don’t store them in a hot car, RV, or storage building for any extended period of time. Just a single summer in a hot car can permanently reduce their capacity by 10-20%.
