Bad Ass Deal on Grow Lights – TspAz Deal of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 1

Hat tip to James White who has helped me a lot over the years with techniques and product recommendations for hydroponics and aquatics.  James is the guy that told me about Barrina Grow Lights.  Since that time I have sold literal 10s of thousands of them.  People use them for indoor hydro, starting plants, supplemental green house lights in winter, etc. The consensus from my audience has been is they may not be the highest end lights out there but they are bang for the buck the best deal there is.  Well until now! Barrina like most companies selling stuff … Continue reading →

VEVOR 5-Tray Worm Composter – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

Today’s Item of the Day is from Vevor—it’s their 5-Tray Worm Composter. Remember to use the code VVPROMO to get 5% off anything you buy from Vevor with my links. I mentioned this item in a recent podcast about various methods of composting. Enough of you guys got one that my Vevor rep literally reached out and said, “Hey, let us send you one for a proper review.” I figured this one was safe to recommend without a review, as screwing up a worm bin isn’t easy to do, at least not from a manufacturing standpoint. Now, management of worms … Continue reading →

Diablo 12-Inch Pruning Reciprocating Saw Blades – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the Diablo 12-Inch Pruning Reciprocating Saw Blade.  I have always been a fan of using Reciprocating Saws (IE Sawzalls) as a tool for pruning trees or removing small trees where a chain saw would be over kill.  It is especially nice for small trees that you want to cut off flush to the ground.  They also make a less damaging cut when … Continue reading →
