In this episode from 2018 I talked about how few things on my property give me more enjoyment than my various garden ponds.  There is something peaceful about moving water and fish.  The bonus is if we want fish tacos tonight and didn’t take any out of the freezer, with 4 bread balls and 5 minutes I can have us 4 nice pan fish for cooking. Aquaculture is function stacking in the best way.  You get a beautiful piece of landscaping, wildlife habitat and free food as a bonus. Join Me Today to Discuss… Why bother with aquaculture in the … Continue reading →

This was a fantastic question that came in by email back in 2021 for my podcast but I thought it would be exceptional for a Miyagi Mornings. Here it is exactly as it came in from a long time listener named Dan. “How would a deflationary economy work? ` If our entire economy was based on a currency with a fixed supply like bitcoin, ` 1. What’s the velocity of money look like? 2. How is money lent particularly for large long-term lending. Houses, New Factories, etc. 3. How is economic growth effected/measured. 4. Wouldn’t % economic growth roughly translate … Continue reading →

In this episode from 2017 we turned our focus on food production in our own back yards.  The plants I will describe here are wonderful for growing in just about any environment.  And even though they are perennials most will do find in containers and wicking beds, etc.  Indeed a few are custom made for such applications though normally not grown that way. Perennials are wonderful because they either come back on their own every year or they require very minimal effort to assure their return each year.  Many are even considered weeds or a nuisance by the unknowing.  Yep … Continue reading →

In this episode from 2015 we talked about guns today, but a bit differently then you might expect from a “survival podcast” to do.  No ARs, no concealed carry and no ninja like accessories. No today I want to tell you about the gun wisdom I learned at the hands of my grandfather and father as a young man.  The stories, lessons and realities that made me love guns as the tools they truly are. You may be shocked to learn I didn’t grow up hearing much about the 2nd amendment or gun rights.  Where I grew up boys hunted … Continue reading →

I did this episode back in 2012 when I stated I wanted to do some more shows on firearms topics I was flooded with emails by new shooters that all basically said some version of this… “Jack can you do a very basics style show that explains what all these calibers and rounds mean.  Sometimes when you are talking about a firearms subject I am fine then you start saying something like the 38 special is 35 caliber and I just don’t get it.  Or that a 40 S&W is equivalent to a 10mm in a carbine.  None of this … Continue reading →

When I did this episode back in 22012 ut was because I got a ton of emails on an article called. 8 Personal Finance Lessons from Benjamin Franklin that was published on the very cool blog, The Art of Manliness. Several dozen of you told me that this article sounded like 8 things I say often on TSP. So rather than read the article at all I decided to do the show based just on the 8 tenets of Franklin and see how much in sync we really are or are not. One thing for sure old Ben’s advice seems … Continue reading →

TSPC will return tomorrow, I take this day off with my family like most of America and I leave you with these thoughts on this day. Today is Memorial Day and I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone today of what Memorial Day is really all about. Many well meaning people even get it wrong in a way. My inbox tends to fill up with “thanks for your service” emails around Memorial Day. I appreciate it, there is nothing wrong with thanking a vet today, yet it is not really the day to thank vets many seem to … Continue reading →

Critical Thinking and Issue Analysis – TSP Rewind – Epi-316

Today I want to discuss the concept of critical thinking and how we are often led by those in power.  How many “issues” are presented to divide us yet they really shouldn’t.  Most if actually examined critically would result in people either realizing the issue doesn’t matter and nothing should be done, or in general agreeing on the solution. Those in charge can’t have this, a people divided are easily led, in fact a divided people given their consent to being controlled, having liberty taken and are in general okay with the oppression of their fellow man. Way back in … Continue reading →

In this episode from 2012 we discussed what I call “the great lie of dichotomy” and while 14 years have passed you will soon see that very little has changed at least in regard to this concept. Once in a while I just need to take the time to chat with you guys about what is going on and perhaps clean up some things from past episodes as well. Today is such a day.  Likely as in most instances when I speak my mind I will tick some of you off, hence I ask you to listen to the second … Continue reading →

In this episode from 2011 we examined liberty to truly understand what we are working for with self sufficient lifestyles.  Liberty seems like a simple concept at first, are you free or not?  But what really defines freedom, what really is the difference between liberty and captivity and are their shades of gray that deceive us? Join me today as we discuss these thirteen facts about liberty… Liberty can not exist in a pure democracy Liberty can not be defined except by the one experiencing it Government can not create liberty only defend it Liberty is about equal opportunity not … Continue reading →
