I have such a huge back load of great questions at this point so as I mentioned yesterday I am going to double up on feedback shows this week.  Today we have questions about buying silver, setting up bug out locations, when to “dump” stocks, walking away from a mortgage, suburban vs. rural real estate and more. Join me today as we answer your questions such as… Does suburban real estate give a better investment return than rural real estate? When buying silver can you claim the money as an “investment”? How does the purchase of silver work concerning “tax … Continue reading →

Today we do another round of listener questions on all kinds of stuff like alternative energy, gardening, real estate, bug out locations and more. First let me take a moment to mention the sad passing of Linda Rawles (wife of James Wesley Rawles).  James have hugely contributed to the survivalist and prepper movement over the past few years.  Let me state as a husband myself that when a man gives this much his wife must give as well and his actions are driven as much by his passion to help others as to be a good husband and provider.  I … Continue reading →

I got an email recently that said… I have not had much success the past few years in growing food. I tried Mel Bartholomew’s square foot gardening last year without luck, problems with bugs, too little or too much water not sure. Here’s my plan: 16′ x 3′ raised bed about a 16″ deep in an area that gets sun from around 9 or 10 am through nightfall. I plan to use part of this space for composing until I get a full bed of nice topsoil. And I’d like to add some PVC irrigation to the bed that I … Continue reading →

Monday I took a question on “economic collapse” and tried to explain that no that isn’t going to  happen, not the way many think about it anyway.  That the collapse is here, it is on going and it will have both chronic and acute symptoms.  In short instead of prepping for TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it) many should be prepping for TEOYWAYKI (the end of your world as you know it) As usual when you try to explain this some people feel that means, well, “it isn’t so bad” so do we even need to … Continue reading →

Yes I know it is supposed to be a Monday feedback show but sometimes I am called or inspired to talk on a subject.  After Friday’s rant about legalized cheating in the class room, I feel it is necessary to do two things to be “fair to educators”, as quite a few people have asked for that. The first part won’t make those calling for fairness happy but it is about being fair, fair to the children in these systems of programming.  In part one of the show I will further define the problem until it is so in your … Continue reading →

Today’s show is a hybrid, some listener feedback, some stuff from Expert Council Member John Pugliano and some stuff I have been looking into on my own.  I want to tell you something you likely already know, the US Economy is screwed. Frankly many other nations that people think are doing great are also screwed.  Likely  one of the best positioned nation in the world right now is Russia, but the problems of the world are the subject for another day, today I want to take a look at the shifts coming to our own backyard.

Jason Burns lives near Liberty, IN. His primary profession is in hospital pharmacy. He began keeping bees in 2010 because he was interested in pollination for his garden and obtaining a honey for his family. Initially he had planned on keeping two hives. Things got interesting when he figured out how easy it was to catch feral bees that were local to his area. Currently he keeps about 30 hives of untreated/unfed bees amongst endless fields of soybeans and corn (mono-crop hell). Jason joins us to discuss sourcing honeybees by Swarm trapping for sustainability and self sufficiency for the backyard … Continue reading →

Back From Big Bend

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

Well I was gone for two days off to Big Bend National Park to help Bryan Black of ITS Tactical with his second round of the camo comparison.   Bryan is doing some great work with comparing camo patterns in various terrain, at various distances under controlled third party conditions.   Big Bend provided the perfect environment to simulate what our troops are working with in Afghanistan right now.    We shot 12 patterns, in four locations at various magnifications.  Each was shot according to a rigorous methodology that Bryan developed to allow a truly objective vendor agnostic assessment of each pattern in … Continue reading →
