This is timely. I’m working on this right now.

I’m following TSP for over 7 years, but I missed this episode. I wonder how many ideas I came up with by myself, or took in from other episodes.

This summer I spent 6 days on a bike with a friend, our trip was for over 280 miles. I wanted to see if it’s feasible to bug-out on a bike. It is, unless you don’t have to carry your kids or elderly parents. If you do, there’s nothing better than a car that you use early enough (not to get stuck on the way out from the city).

Great show, hadn’t heard it before.
Just wondering did you do the ham radio licence and would you recommend, is it worth the effort do get a ham radio and do the licence these days?

I remember years ago a college lecturer explaining that military planners never fully rely on satellite communication because in a war situation a satellite is very vulnerable to being destroyed. And that the army invest a lot in the technology of understanding and using natural layers of the ionosphere to bounce radio signals long distance as well as use longwave and shortwave as a more reliable way for terrestrial communication, hence the huge long fishing rod antenna on some army vehicles. I wonder is still true ?

In a doomsday situation with electricity grid and cellular network down would a ham radio powered by a car battery be a use full asset to get information.

Did Jack ever elaborate on the “Frisco Aspenites?”

I’ve listened to every episode except for a small backlog of recent shows and don’t recall ever hearing more about them.

Something I have observed in life is that people with little motivation in life and low creativity who somehow stumble on big wealth (be it through inheritance or marriage) tend to later become unhappy with life and are likely to become addicted to alcohol or something similar.

But a creative person who plans and builds his way through life by work, grafting, continuous learning and developing skills will tend to be much more content with life.

Those links are 8 years old, or so. Tea Party Silver has been defunct at least 5 years. Safe Castle is still there, but their URL may have changed.
