Sorghum is a highly versatile crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years and has become an essential food source in many parts of the world.

Sorghum is highly resilient and can grow in various conditions. It is drought-tolerant, making it an excellent crop to grow in arid areas where other crops may not survive. It is also resistant to pests and diseases, making it easier to grow … Continue reading →

Welcome to the latest episode of The Survival Podcast, today’s episode is, “Azolla & Biochar: Nature’s Perfect Combination.” In this episode, we will explore the incredible synergy between Azolla and Biochar and how they can potentially revolutionize the world of agriculture.

Biochar, on the other hand, is a type of charcoal that is produced from biomass and has been used for centuries as a soil amendment. Together, they create a powerful combination that can … Continue reading →

The U.S. dollar is currently the dominant global reserve currency, meaning that it is held by central banks and other financial institutions around the world as a store of value and a medium of exchange. If the dollar were to lose its status as the global reserve currency, several significant consequences could occur: Decreased demand for U.S. assets: As central banks and other financial institutions reduce their holdings of U.S. dollars, demand for U.S. assets, such as Treasury bonds and equities, would decline. This could lead to lower prices for these assets and higher borrowing costs for the U.S. government … Continue reading →

The average farmer and even large scale gardener in the US spends a great deal on fertilizers and fertility aids to gain a good yield on their efforts. Due to modern chemistry mankind was gifted or cursed depending on how you look at it, by learning two things… Plants can grow and be productive with only three primary nutrients (NPK) We can make NPK cheaply from industrial processes   This is what led to the “green revolution” credited today with feeding the planet with almost 8 billion people on it. I want to point out before turning the corner that … Continue reading →

Brian Perry and Luke Grim are the creators of these16things.com. Brian is a long-time listener of TSP and got the original idea when he heard Jack’s podcast titled, “15 Things to Teach Kids that Government Schools Never Will“.

Since finding Jack’s show, he has changed his diet, … Continue reading →

We are heading into the back half of the current bitcoin halving cycle. Simply put the next halving will be sometime in March of 2024, and the reward per block will drop from 6.25 to 3.125. We call this a supply shock. Simply put Bitcoin has put in its bottom for this cycle and it will be a bumpy up and down journey from here that will trend upward likely for the next two years. This means the excitement will pick up, tons of misinformation from both the pro and anti bitcoin sides will flow. Bitcoin is going to zero, … Continue reading →

Time to pop up our heads and see what is really going on out there. In some ways today we are continuing some of what we started on Monday’s show.

My conversation with Bruce Ford on Wednesday got me thinking about mead making. Bruce is a bee keeper of course and while our conversation started on tax reduction though ag exemption, we ended up in a discussion about parallel economies. When we did that I brought up the subject of mead and it kind of stuck in my head. So since I gave the Expert Council the week off, I will take up that topic today. Honestly we have not talked about it since at least before all the CoVid BS started. Mead is a fascinating thing, it is chemistry … Continue reading →

Today we step into the world of the unknown. There is no way to answer then question other then with guess work. We all know the ability of the US to act as the police force and welfare daddy to the rest of the world is ending. Fiat currency and central banking are reaching the limits of delusional money printing. Also the developed world is beginning to see population peak, then decline. The last one gets over looked but no serious discussion about this topic should do that. In 1970 we had 3.7 workers paying into SSI for every 1 … Continue reading →

Like many I initially came to Bitcoin due to the simple concept of “number go up”, that was a long time ago and all I can say is I regret every bitcoin I didn’t buy and every bitcoin I ever spent. I traded shitcoins for a while, mostly successfully as to profit. Yet the simple act of DCAing and HODLing Bitcoin would honestly have me ahead right now, had it been all I had ever done. In that time, I became a 99% Bitcoin Maxi. I still see the case for a privacy tool like Monero and remain open to … Continue reading →

Today I am solo and am simply going to discuss what is actually the primary reason I started The Bitcoin Breakout as a production of The Survival Podcast. Simply put in the last 4 years I have watched many bitcoiners on Twitter and elsewhere post pictures of new homesteads, solar arrays, gardens, grass fed beef, new homesteads, etc. I’d say the big topics that bitcoiners come into after fully being onboarded are in no particular order… Growing your own food Carnivore/keto/paleo diets Permaculture/Regen Ag Alternative energy Libertarian values Guns Skillset Development Prepping   The big issue though is all these … Continue reading →

Today is really more than a podcast. I would consider it a full on introduction workshop for making, using and understanding biochar. It will be geared to the homestead or small farm level of things.

Elsie Pickett joins me today to discuss growing in small spaces and creating urban homesteads, why growing food can be an entry point literally anyone can achieve and can actually prove much more productive and sustainable than most people think. The Urban Harvest was created by Elise Pickett in 2013 to help others cultivate a more sustainable home and healthy diet by teaching them about growing their own vegetables at home. Her journey to healthy eating and growing her own food began when she learned about our current food system and the impacts that it has on our health. The … Continue reading →

Sometimes I feel society in on the edge of yet another split. Those that value things like gardens, back yard birds and foraging, and those who see no value in such things. These people look around and see a world when you can summon a car with a cell phone, to either take you to dinner or bring dinner to you. Unlike 2008 when I began the journey of this podcast people are not in touch with our current economic situation. While I feel we are on the verge of a recession that will be worse than 2008, currently if … Continue reading →
