When I talk to people and they ask what I do and I tell them I run a podcast I get three very common questions…. How do you make money doing that? What is your podcast about? What is it called? ` When I answer that third question with “The Survival Podcast”, it almost always starts a conversation that begins with some quite inaccurate assumptions by the person I am talking to.  Whether they are of a prepper mind set or not it tends to be the same angle.  “End of the world” type stuff.  I instantly shift into explaining … Continue reading →

Today we are going to do a back to basics show. Simple stuff that we all need reminding about day to day in order to stay sharp. This is also the exact type of information to give to people new to prepping, especially the totally unprepared that “don’t get it”. We all have fiends like that right? So many people seem to believe you are either some sort of “extreme doomsday prepper” or you are just normal.  I say that the way most people not normal.  I am talking about adults here and adults should be first and foremost responsible.  … Continue reading →

Episode-2613- Why Homesteading is one of the best “Preps” you can Make

We have talked a lot about homesteading over the years, in fact one of my biggest early hit shows was called “From Home to Homestead” first published all the way back in July of 2008.  To make the point of how long I have been teaching this concept, that was episode 20 of this podcast and today we are doing episode 2613. I have taught this approach from two primary angles.  The first being the economic ROI by converting homes which for most Americans are consumers into producers.  The other angle has been the health and well being aspect.  I … Continue reading →

Figured I would though some change ups at you guys this week so skipping the typical Monday feedback show for a back to basics episode.  I think sometimes we get too deep in the weeds with advanced topics and forget to return to the fundamentals from time to time, with the most basic needs.  So today I am going to basically interview myself by answering 12 questions that will get most people in the right mindset about prepping. This should be a good show for everyone.  It should help new people get off to a great start, help the seasoned … Continue reading →

Episode-2506- Modern Survivalism and Your Six Primary Survival Needs

All the way back in 2008 I launched this podcast and I wanted a term I could hang my hat on so to say.  I wanted something sane sounding and yet I wanted it to be accurate as to preparedness at the same time.  Within the first few weeks I came up with the concept of “modern survivalism” and hence, “modern survivalist”.  At that time I searched for exact matches of both terms and none came up.  So I anchored down on that phrase.  Today it is everywhere but I really believe TSP is the genesis of that concept. As … Continue reading →

I feel we need to do more fundamentals shows than we have been doing lately.  I almost called them beginner shows but I don’t feel that is really what they are.  While great for beginners fundamentals are for everyone. Back when I played various sports, even when I got to an advanced level we often worked on the same fundamentals we all had started with say 10 years earlier.  There is a reason, in any discipline when your fundamentals are solid everything you add to them improves things.  Yet, when those fundamentals are weak the opposite happens, everything you makes … Continue reading →
