Health is an interesting word.  One most people simply think of as the absence of illness, being physically fit and may be even eating well.  I also find it interesting that doctors will take 11-18 years of education to be fully certified and yet they tend to learn almost nothing about “health” beyond the absence of disease. Still I think we tend to think very compartmentalized, even those of us that fancy ourselves as “living a healthy lifestyle”.  Many people hit the gym often, eat well, see their doctors like clock work and yet are they really “healthy” if we … Continue reading →

There are two schools of thought that seem to exist about our economy right now.  The first seems to be we are screwed and very soon.  The second seems to be there is nothing to worry about, the economy will have ups and downs just like always but long term we will continue to grow and move forward. Both of these are short sighted.  The first view is like being told you have a treatable but eventually fatal cancer and assuming that means you will be dead by next week.  So you blow all your money on a big party … Continue reading →

One concept that many modern survivalists aspire to is to be less dependent on “the system“ or independent of “the system”.   I know this seems like a great goal but the problem with it is that it is not “a system” or “the system” the reality is that we are dependent today on multiple interconnected systems. Each of these systems is becoming more globalized and centralized and the dependence upon them in growing at an alarming rate.  While there are more systems of dependency then the following today we will focus on what I consider the 8 largest systems of … Continue reading →

With the disaster in Japan I am getting a lot of emails from brand new people and long time listeners, the basic question is “what should we do”?  Well this may be hard for you to believe given the non stop media coverage of the burning reactor but the answer is, unless you are in Japan you should probably not do anything.  That said getting out of Japan unless you are part of the relief efforts probably isn’t a bad idea. You certainly shouldn’t go spend 100 dollars for a bottle of potassium iodine on eBay because you will be … Continue reading →

Today we have a rebroadcast of a show I did back in August 27th, 2008.  I decided this would be a good show to have on during my absence to Arkansas where I am laying wood flooring getting ready for our move there this winter. I want you to think about some of these things in contrast with the so called “historic election” that just occurred yesterday.  My belief is until some of these underlying issues no matter who is in charge we will get the same results with a different marketing message.   Today’s podcast may challenge some of your … Continue reading →
