This morning when I checked crypto prices I did a quick double take, “Bitcoin is at 44K, what is going on”? Ten seconds into it I found the media going ape about the fact that Elon Musk announced that Tesla purchased 1.5 billion dollars worth of Bitcoin mostly in January and as part of being a public company had to disclose this. Every article on it had a passive aggressive undertone, attacking Musk, Tesla and above all Bitcoin itself. I am pretty sure that this one is on cut and paste phrase list for any so called journalist writing about … Continue reading →

It is days like this where I think back to living in Pennsylvania for much of my life, and remember cabin fever often lasting into April. It makes me really appreciate some part of living so much further south. Don’t get me wrong, I do miss many things like the colors and smells in the fall when archery hunting but man I am not a winter type of guy. A massive cold front is about to rock most of the nation and even I won’t be spared in North Central Texas. So this may seem like an odd time to … Continue reading →

In some ways chickens are like WordPress Plugins. What do I mean by that? Man and chicken go back so far that no matter what you really want, someone has likely already bred a chicken breed that does that. Different breeds have different intrinsic characteristics. In permaculture any living element is analyzed for a few different things but one is intrinsic characteristics. For this discussion let’s break down and define those words Intrinsic – belonging to the essential nature or constitution of a thing Characteristic – a distinguishing trait, quality, or property In other words some animals and further some … Continue reading →

Today I am just going to 100% freestyle the show a lot like it was done for the first 18 months. For those that do not know the show’s full history from June of 2008-Dec of 2010 I did the show from my car on my daily drive to my office, roughly a 55 mile commute. My only notes were an index card in my console with a few bullet points on it. Today I won’t even do that, the message I have for you today is essentially the sum of 12.5 years of my work at this point. Many … Continue reading →

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally and was originally Episode-1274- 14 Life Rules of a Modern Survivalist; and first published on Jan. 7th, 2014. The following are the original show notes from that episode. I was going to call this show “14 Rules for Being a Modern Survivalist” but I realized that would violate my survival tenet that reads… “Your personal philosophy is more important for you than mine! You are the master of your own life and if you don’t agree with my views, great, define, understand … Continue reading →

Jonathan and Ashley and their 4 children traveled the country for 5 years, renovated a vintage Airstream to fit their needs for off-grid camping, and set off on an adventure that would forever change the course of their lives. To do this they sold their house and all their belongings in exchange for a life of adventure. After 5 years on the road, they found an off grid property that they wanted to call home in Southeastern Arizona. This brought a host of new challenges that came with learning how to homestead, let alone homestead in the high desert. Completely … Continue reading →

The principles of Permaculture covered today are the 12 principles offered by Permaculture’s co-founder David Holmgren. There are far more than these 12, we are just going to cover these today as a way to expose our audience to what Permaculture is really all about. I feel the discipline is largely misunderstood, either as simply organic farming on steroids or some hippy dippy lefty mud rolling eco leftist ideology. It is really neither, rather it is a design science used to create systems that work with nature to support all of humanities needs. Join Us Today to Discuss… Why permaculture … Continue reading →

Today I want to discuss a skill we have not dug into for quite a while. That is seed saving and I also want to talk a bit about seed storage, trading seed and the value of regionally adapted seeds. There is also a ton of confusion in the seed marketplace today about exactly what a GMO is, what a hybrid is and what an “heirloom” seed is. Without an understanding of this you are vulnerable to a lot of misinformation campaigns designed to sell you things you don’t need or keep you from using some seeds that may really … Continue reading →

Today I am going to use a variety of projects I am currently planning and implementing here at Nine Mile Farm to teach you about function stacking. Function stacking is a key principle in permaculture but it should really be a key principle in all design. Geoff Lawton says “the more restrictions on a design, the more eloquent the design” and it is always how you see function stacking show up even when designers don’t use the term. A perfect example is all the “tiny house” TV shows and videos. Equally you see it in RVs. As soon as that … Continue reading →

Today I released an older video I found about Brad Lancaster and his water harvesting efforts in Tuscon Arizona. It really got me thinking about the need to build community though abundance. As this was happening I had a guest turn out to be and this is as nice as I can put it, “not right for the show” and hence lost my booked guest for today. So I reached out to fellow Goose Gaggle member and friend of the TSPC community Xavier Hawk about this topic and he was kind enough to join me at the last minute for … Continue reading →

The topic of the day is by far the recent purging of Parler and their total shut down due to Amazon AWS pulling the plug on their hosting. This was clearly a well coordinated attack with cooperation between Amazon, FaceBook, Twitter, Apple and Google on a competitor. There should be lawyers lining up for racketeering and anti trust actions. That said not only can we not wait for such action to “fix things” we need to see and seize upon the opportunity we now have. This purging is what so many needed to see to understand the true world we … Continue reading →

I am going to talk a bit today about the demonstrations and violence in the capital yesterday. I am also going to talk about why it happened, why it was easy to predict and why we need to all step back before talking about “what really happened” because that is rife with misinformation right now. I will provide you two great videos that break this down. One by Dr. Ron Paul and the second by Derek Broze. As they have done a great job of examining what we know and don’t know and the ramifications of this really bad idea, … Continue reading →

Small livestock are great to have around. They are the best way to produce protein and fat we have. They do this with meat and eggs along with dairy in the case of things like goats. We have talked a lot about this in the past and we will do so again in the future but today I want to start zeroing in on fertility. I am going to tell you about one of our biggest problems leading off today and yet one almost no one even bothers to consider, look at or try to solve. That problem is we … Continue reading →

Most of today’s show is a recreation of 2008’s Christmas special. Today we pause and take a moment to reflect on Christmas and how it has become the Holiday we celebrate today. Many American’s have no idea just how Christmas became unique here in America, the role it played in bringing our nation together after two wars of independence and the civil war. Christmas is special and a time to pause and reflect. Christmas is indeed a special time of year, today I will cover many aspects of it that may make this Christmas just a bit more special. There … Continue reading →

Today to put it bluntly you can either build your own world or live in the one being created by centralized authority for you. There is no third option available. The time to either stand as a free being or kneel as a slave has come, which choice will you make in the coming decade? Every means of control centralized authority uses comes down to one of your 6 primary survival needs. They are food, water, shelter, energy, security and health. To build your own world you must provide these for yourself and obtain what you can’t directly secure from … Continue reading →

The world is accelerating into total insanity and controlling your own life is the only vaccine for the resulting mass hysteria at this point. Last night on Unloose the Goose we discussed mental health, it was a great episode and you should totally check it out if you have not done so already. At one point Xavier Hawk got really deep with why he stays plugged into the news and how unless you understand why people are behaving as they are you are likely to be sucked into their behavior. While I think that cuts two ways, he was making … Continue reading →

The year is almost over and it was one for the books in so many ways. 2020 will always be a memory point for anyone who lived though it while being old enough to understand the basics of what was going on. Of course it is all about “the pandemic” which may be the least lethal pandemic in real deaths in recorded history by the way. It was also a major assclown circus election year and that is still being disputed. I expect to still be in dispute when Biden is no longer in office and off feeding seagulls ice … Continue reading →

A recent video from “Ice Age Farmer” made the case that we will have a dire shortage of soy beans in the coming year, other grains as well especially soy. I checked into it and I have to say for the US market I am not highly concerned. I don’t think the soy boys will need to give up their lattes in 2021. His point was well beyond soy milk and the lot though and to animal feed. I do have to say he is not totally wrong and I expect flat our famine in the 3rd world in the … Continue reading →

I did an episode of Miyagi Mornings this morning and it was on the rumor that Trump would roll out “Burdensome Crypto Wallet Rules“. I covered why that resulted in an almost 3,000 dollar drop in BTC pricing but why it went back up over a few days. I won’t get deep into that today so if you want the full explanation on it, check my video about it here. The key here is Crypto is a technology and there is a massive and multi faceted industry build upon it. What we have seen from the very beginning well over … Continue reading →
