Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode with an all new introduction was originally Episode-836- Understanding Multi System Dependence and first aired on Feb 8th, 2012. The following are the original show notes from that episode One concept that many modern survivalists aspire to is to be less dependent on “the system“ or independent of “the system”. I know this seems like a great goal but the problem with it is that it is not “a system” or “the system” the reality is that we are dependent today on multiple interconnected … Continue reading →

Has the bottom hit for the current cycle? The truth is that I don’t know. Further the truth is math never lies and hence it doesn’t matter. I actually called the bottom once the cycles top was established at 14,400 and I say yes, we have hit bottom. Yet when I say, “never be this easy again” I am referring to the next 2 years leading up to the next halving. There are so many ways to stack right now, let’s talk about some of them and why bear markets are for building. Join Me Today to Discuss… What is … Continue reading →

I have been asked a few times in the past weeks to do a “just Jack show” on business. I decided it was a good idea but I want to take a bit of a different tact this time. I try to be very motivational when it comes to this topic. The reason is I know that nothing gets a business, especially a small one driven by one person more than irrational exuberance. Normally irrational exuberance refers to investor activity but today I am defining it this way. irrational exuberance – being so motivated that you ignore anything that would … Continue reading →

It has been a while since we have dug deep into this subject and a while since we have looked at the more practical aspects of homesteading and prepping as well. Everyone loves the current event, gloom and doom stuff but what to do is really more important than why we need to do it. Also I started thinking about this and I think it is true to say many that learn, practice and teach permaculture have a hard time answering the question of “what is permaculture” beyond a dictionary type definition. Something like… Permaculture is an ethical design science … Continue reading →

Yesterday chatting with Mark Baker about Homesteading I was reminded of an episode I did back originally in July of 2013 called, The Bright Future of Homesteading in America which is now a bit over 9 years old. It was interesting to listen to what Mark had to say about homesteading and contrast that with some of the bullet points in the old show notes. Today I decided to simply take those bullets and present them in the context of 2022 and all that has happened in the past 9 years and especially the past 3. The world has changed … Continue reading →

I have been throwing around this term, “statist jiu jitsu” for a long time, over a decade for sure but it has been a while since we have dug into it. A new potential rule about who is and is not a contractor, proposed by the Brandon Administration brought it back into my sights this week. Honestly this rule if enacted is so simple to circumvent (assuming both sides want to) it is amazing no one is pointing out how to do so, at all. I am going to do exactly that today. Then we will dig into some other … Continue reading →

Today’s episode was originally Episode-2289- Practical Homesteading in the Modern Age and first aired on Sept. 11th, 2018. The following are the original show notes from that episode 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 don’t but see no value in such things.

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Epi-2516- Total Lifestyle Health for Modern Survival and first aired on Sept. 24, 2019. The following are the original show notes from that episode Health is an interesting word. One most people simply think of as the absence of illness, being physically fit and may be even eating well. I also find it interesting that doctors will take 11-18 years of education to be fully certified and yet they tend to learn almost nothing about “health” beyond the absence of disease. Still … Continue reading →

What do I mean by minimalist homesteading? Simply put the least amount of work for a reasonable return of investment in food and resources for your life. Something you can do on land, small or large while working a full time job and not feel overly taxed by it. Many of us like having large designed systems, multiple gardens, 4-5 different livestock species, etc. Chopping and splitting wood, building structures, etc. Yet the average person (that might just be you) isn’t going to do this. Or often they will, then they hate it, then they get rid of everything and … Continue reading →

For all the shrieking about “insurrection” on Jan. 6th we all know it was basically a riot that paled into comparison to the linty or riots that occurred all though the prior year. Thing is the media and the state both thrive on violence, whether a likely orchestrated riot like Jan. 6th or the huge number of city burning riots that proceeded it. They would also love an “insurrection” that was violent in nature. The state excels at violence and the media lives by “if it bleeds it leads”. So insurrection by force is the state’s game and it is … Continue reading →
