Episode-279- The Foundational Principle of Modern Survivalism

Today we discuss principle one of modern survival philosophy, “Everything you do to prepare for disaster should improve your position in life even if nothing ever goes wrong.” Today I give you the background on where that principle came from, how I was inspired by many already living by it but just not putting it that way yet.  I tell you the story of my slumber during my years of success and what led me to forget what I knew to be true.  How over time many events led me to reconnect with what I was taught about frugality, common … Continue reading →

In my last show I gave a warning, “if you keep practicing survivalism you are going to sooner or later turn into a libertarian”.  I have gotten more then a few questions about what that means.  Is TSP a secret plot to brain wash people into a libertarian mindset sort of like those alien Hulu commercials?  No not at all but there is a reality that once you are self sufficient, well prepared and have the mentality of a survivor the way you view the world will start to change. Resources for Today’s Show TSP is on LewRockwell.com Region 5 … Continue reading →

If you listen to this podcast you are probabally a survivalist on one level or another.  Some are simple homesteader types that live in the country and try to be self sufficient.  Some are more the sterotype and into beans, bullets and bandaids.  Still others live in urban areas, work typical jobs and just make sure they have some extra food, supplies, etc around incase something goes wrong. My question though is “do you hide who you are”?  Clearly I can’t, by doing this show I must put myself out there. Yesterday this show and I were featured in the … 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 →

Today we examine some misconceptions about what survivalism is, how survivalists prepare and what actually being a survival minded person is all about.  The media paints us all as camouflage fatigue wearing, war game playing, gun nuts that live in bunkers full or rice, beans and MREs.  Nothing could be further from the truth… Tune in today to hear… How you save money as a survivalist vs. blowing your life savings on MREs and Guns Why storing food will make you sleep better at night and not cost you a penny more then you will spend on food anyway, if … Continue reading →

Last night I was asked a simple question, “well if you run the survival podcast, then tell me, how do you survive”.  This inspired todays show on Modern Survivalist Philosophy. Tune in today to hear… How the creation of the Federal Reserve has led to volentary enslavement of the American People Why debt freedom creates individual freedom Why debt was the only way to take over the America of the 1800s and how it took generations for it to occur The freedom of producing your own food How Tax is theft and how a bloodless revolution could reclaim America The … Continue reading →

Today I decided to do something a bit different and I have pulled 5 topics currently being discussed by various bloggers. Tune in today to hear my thoughts on the following posts – 1. Government May Have Massive Surveillance Program for Use in “National Emergency” – From The Ignorance is Futile Blog.

The article cites the following – 1. “According to a senior government official…”There exists a database of Americans, who, often for the slightest and … Continue reading →
