The TSP Survival Wiki is Coming Tomorrow
I am pretty excited about this! It all began less than a month ago with a simple idea in the comments here at the blog. “What I think we need is a no nonsense survival wiki” mused a commenter, thank him because that very week the wiki was born.
A really awesome team assembled around the task of putting the bones on the TSP Survival Wiki and it now has even a bit of flesh on those bones. We have a ton on the beans, bullets and band-aid style stuff already included. The truth though about wikis is they are never “finished”. Ours is now a new born baby wiki and will need the help of many members of the community to become what it really can become.
My view is with our team that we have here our wiki should become the go to resource for all things prepper, survival and even permaculture. Devoid of the politics that plague wikipedia.org not to mention the minutiae some topics are taken to, our wiki will focus on the stuff new and seasoned preppers really want to know.
The great part is starting tomorrow anyone that wants to can sign up for an account and help add new pages or edit and expand existing ones. Editing a wiki is really easy but takes a little knowledge, but our team even set up some basic training materials on how to do stuff for you. Anyway get ready for a new cool chapter in TSP history as the TSP Survival Wiki launches officially tomorrow morning.
Oh and a huge round of thank yous to the founders team! Many of them did a lot of work around Christmas and New Years. I continue to be amazed at the amazing people our community attracts.
One of the best things you can do not only for your members, but the world. I have often thought something like this is needed, as well as a REAL SHTF interactive game for both old and YOUNG alike to “die” or learn serious skills and survival knowledge base.
Does it have the 37 things to hoard before a crisis?
LMAO nope! Seriously LMAO!
You know what may be we should review that shitty product and list those 37 things!
Glad to give you a chuckle. Thanks for all you and your team/panel does.
HA. I definitely laughed out loud on this one.
I was definitely thinking that listing the most popular of these ridiculous survival things, might not be a bad idea. (As jack says, to critique).
But then keeping up with the sheer number of these stupid ads would be ridiculous.
many hands make light work
😉
here it is and it has already been ruthlessly edited ( witty commentary may not work in a wiki ) but it was fun. I encourage others to try it out.

Wish I could have helped you out Jack. I used to manage 3 wikis. Can’t wait to use it.
This is begging for a small section that is dedicated to parody or “honeypot” for morons. You could intentionally give ridiculous advice on how to defend against nazi zombies, or maybe something more subtle. It’d be a fun joke for us in the community, but the downside might be some MSM bozo taking it seriously.
I tend to inject some amount of humor into everything I do, so maybe it’s just me. Cheers.
Very cool. Can’t wait to add what I have.
I’ll admit there is definitely some need of some centralized information (At least as a starting point) for modern survivalism information.
Will this wiki also include “homesteading” type things? (Canning, rotational grazing animals, fodder systems).
Sure will, has some already and the truth is as long as it is relevant to anything we would discuss at TSP on the show, the forum, the zello channel that type of thing it really works this way, there will be anything anyone who wants to help is motivated enough to create.
Very cool; this is going to be awesome! Thanks Jack; keep up the great work!
I’ve hit up /r/collapse and /r/preppers. Any other redditors here want to hit up other like minded subs. I don’t want to spam them all. If I don’t see anything on some other subs in the next day or so I’ll chime in.
Jack I know some of my emails show bad spelling but they are usually written late at night when I am bushed.
I can do a pretty good job in the writing with references. So if anyone with experience in an area wants to write something I can comb through and insert primary source references to make it a secondary source for school projects and so forth.
