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 →

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

The presentation I gave at the 2012 Liberty Forum can be found in 3 parts below.  It went very well and it is a great introduction to Modern Survival Philosophy and has the added value of being done with a live audience. If you actually go to Vimeo to view these in each part there is an option to download the actual videos rather than just stream them.  Should anyone wish to do so and use them in any way to help spread the message about being prepared please do so.  I consider them to be public domain videos and … Continue reading →

I see and hear versions of this admittedly extreme version of why survivalists are nuts all the time. I just talked to a guy that pointed out how “we were all gonna die from swine flu” and it turned out to be nothing but “a bunch of bullshit”. I guess he hadn’t listened to my show called, “Lessons From the Non Event of Swine Flu“. It is really common though for the average person to look at a “prepper” or “survivalist” and wonder why we in their minds waste money and resources. The reality is we actually save money and … Continue reading →

The media’s veiw of survivalism and modern survivalist philosophy are greatly disconnected from realtiy.  Join me today as I discuss a recent episode of the T.V. show “Medium” (yes the show sucks I watched it just for you so tune in) where a survivalist was painted as and eccentric killer. In my view this media bias is actually quite dangerous and could cause a lot of suffering or even cost lives in the future.  Tune in today to get some thoughts on countering this bias, why it is important to do so and how we can reach people who are … Continue reading →
