I put out a little video yesterday about the progress of our Bantam Chickens at Nine Mile Farm. I just love the personality of these pint sized chickens and they are coming along nicely. Someone asked this question in the comments section… Why bantams and not full size chickens? They are small and lay small eggs. I would think that they would be best for someone with limited space? It is a totally reasonable question. There are really two angles in it though. One is some reality, they do lay smaller eggs and they are good for someone with limited … Continue reading →

Jason van Gumster does a lot of things. Mostly he make stuff up. He writes, animates, and occasionally teaches. He’s got heavy entrepreneurial tendencies that run nearly as deep as his creative ones, so he has a constant fascination with producing creative content with as much control and independence as possible. This has resulted in him being a big proponent of open source software; nearly everything that he’s produced in the last 20 years – books, animation, graphic design, websites, video, a podcast – is made using Free and open source tools. Resources for today’s show… Follow Life With Jack … Continue reading →

The world liberty has been elevated to what was once referred to in an old episode of Star Trek a “worship word”. Yet many seem to not even truly understand what the world liberty means. They seem to feel it means voting for their side so that only the things they want restricted or taxed are restricted or taxed. Liberty is the freedom to live as you choose until such time as you interfere with the liberty of others. That and only that is true liberty. Liberty can’t come from government and government also is not able to defend it. … Continue reading →

“Follow your passion”, has become a catch phrase of both modern business gurus and modern spiritual gurus. It is actually one case where the gurus have it right. You absolutely should follow your passion, 100%, but the sad reality is, most people don’t have a damn clue what their passion is. It gets worse. If you want to know the answer to a math problem, there is an answer and someone can give it to you. If you want to know the best shovel to buy, it may be opinion but I can tell you about a shovel that will … Continue reading →

I have done a series of YouTube Videos lately in addition to the podcast about “getting out of the cities”. It has occurred to me that one reason for the push back may be that a lot of new listeners and especially YouTube views likely think this is only about the riots. Long term listeners know I have said basically the same thing since 2008 when I started TSP in June of that year. In other words I have been advising people to get out of these cities I refer to as “flash point cities” for over 12 years now. … Continue reading →

Matt is a longtime fan of the The Survival podcast who was inspired enough by podcasting to start his own podcast with two of his friends. He felt this could be a good topic for people wanting to get started podcasting. We have a great discussion today about podcasting both for fun and as a business. We also end up talking about the riots in Wisconsin a bit near the end and I continue with some more thoughts about where we are heading with all these riots soon after the interview is over.

I was thinking a lot this morning as I took care of my garden about how much we have done here to make our lives wonderful. And not just wonderful but non brittle, resilient and largely unaffected by societies nonsense. Write before starting this write up I watched my grandson finish one of his home school lessons and take a nap on the floor with the dog because he wanted to. 15 minutes later I went to fill my coffee cup and he was back at his lessons, no one told him what to do, he just did it, he’s … Continue reading →

For the last two years I have really been ready to get off of both Facebook and Twitter. I have not used google as a primary search engine for a very long time. For browsers I either use FireFox or Brave, google can shove Crome up its ass as can Apple do with safari. I am not going to go into it but we have known all the major tech giants have been in bed with government and industry both for a long time, almost since the beginning. Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, etc all admit being part of a government … Continue reading →

Some in our community are starting to toss around the concept of a new “civil war”. I understand why but I disagree. Yet the US may be heading into something more like a late 80s, early 90s USSR break down. Notice I didn’t use the more common term, “break up”. Would this be good, bad, terrible, a mix, well as in most complex things I think “it depends”. And it depends on a lot. How does it go down, how long does it last, how do different regions respond. Additionally where do you live and not just what state but … Continue reading →

Nicole joins me today for a discussion on what we have both learned during the 2020 pandemic and the colossal over reaction by government to it. We beat up on the scientific community, politicians, The Karens and more today. We talk about the shortages that happened, the ones that made sense and the ones that really didn’t. We talk about how a lot of the “inside information” both of us got was helpful but most of it really wasn’t. We talk about income stability during times like this, growing your own food, the power of community and more. We also … Continue reading →

I wanted a proactive and fun show today and shows about useful plants are always subscriber favorites. Last night on Episode 5 of Unloose the Goose we discussed the food system and it has a lot of this churning in my brain. When I was a kid my Grandfather taught me to tend our garden. In many ways is was a lot like a small row farm. Strait rows and a row for each thing. A row of broccoli, a row of beans, a row of cucumbers, 8 rows of corn, etc. When I moved to Texas I started out … Continue reading →

Yesterday I had to be in my car for a bit and so I listened to part of one of Nicole Sauce’s recent podcasts on meat chicken raising. She covered it all from getting new chicks to butchering them. It made me realize I have not talked about poultry recently and that hey I wanted to. Not wanting to redo the great work Nicole just did I thought, well lets talk about the other side of bird keeping, eggs. I grew up at what I kind of like to think of as the end of the great era of back … Continue reading →

Just a ton of stuff I want to discuss today. It won’t have as many topics as Tuesday’s show so we will go a bit deeper into each one. Some of this is a result of thoughts brought to me by last night’s episode of Unloose the Goose which as titled Episode-4 Cryto Agorism vs. the Machine so we will talk a bit about Crypto and Agorism along with some updates from the back yard. Some of this will be driven by feedback both direct and from social media and even some driven by the new Unloose the Goose telegram … Continue reading →

I personally feel my father only gave me a few pieces of real wisdom. My childhood was not exactly the best be he did what he could and the wisdom he did give to me has stood the test of time. Much of it sounded crazy when he said it, today I see how wise it was. When I was young, way to young to really understand he told me something as follows… The people that run this country have one primary thing they want to do, fully domesticate the man. They want us to be like dogs or worse … Continue reading →

A bit of this is feedback by one means or another but a lot of it is just what is on my mind based on current events and what I am observing on social media. I am getting a lot of health questions as well and I want to make sure no one is making decisions only based on what I say. Make sure you have good reasons for what you do when it comes to your health and supplements, specifically when considering a lot of what I have said about D3 recently.

We recently unloosed Episode #3 of Unloose the Goose titled The Futility of Politics and the Utility of Community. It was a great episode and exactly what I hoped for when I assembled the gaggle happened, an idea popped out. You might say we laid and idea egg. Like most idea eggs it was tiny at first, just a topic of discussion, the concept of protecting some activities by creating a “private club” and thereby not being subject to many of the states systems. For 48 hours now this egg has rolled around in my head and made me think … Continue reading →

Today is a different show than I usually do. Yesterday a group of doctors called America’s Frontline Doctors courageously told the truth about hydroxychloroquine in a series of videos. The most powerful video they released in my opinion was then banned by YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Following that their website was taken down by Square Space and the establishment is now going into character assassination mode on all of them. I am going to play most of that video on the air today along with my commentary. I have to say that I know I am voluntarilary risking my entire … Continue reading →

I do realize that the title is a bit redundant. Yes, I know, I could just say “almost everything the government says is a lie” but today we zoom in on specific lies, show them to be lies and come away with solutions to them. Sound good? Great and be assured that these are just a very small number of the lies the government tells along with the medical establishment on this subject. Specifically the ones I am most familiar with and thus able to discuss in depth. Join Me Today to Discuss… Enhancements to my CoVid Prevention Supplements and … Continue reading →

I want to start out by clarifying I am talking about businesses and entrepreneurs who had a chance to succeed in the first place. So a lazy person won’t succeed and a flawed product or service is likely to fail, but we are not talking about that. I am also not really speaking of the “gig economy” here either. Driving or Uber is entrepreneurial but it does not make you an entrepreneur. It is sort of half and half model and the system itself largely compensates for the primary cause of failure in many true independent entrepreneurial ventures. What I … Continue reading →

Frankly it is amusing to me that most people are agorists even though most either do not even know the word at all or simply associate it with anarchism. The word agora is from Greek and it simply means market. Now today the first thing anyone wants to do with anything is politicize it. Capitalist, socialist, etc, must be inserted into any discussion about a market. That is mostly a fallacy though. When spoken of in the form of agorism, we are discussing the market that is, always has been and will always be there when humans interact at any … Continue reading →

So recently I began a series of articles on 8 Mega Trend that are leading the US into extreme flux and likely recession or even depression. The good news is I feel there will be tremendous opportunities as this occurs for people who have their heads on right, are prepared and are skilled in sufficient areas to capitalize the opportunities we will find in our future. In fact I plan a second series of articles on that subject when the first 8 are complete. Given that I am a solutions guy I figured I would get ahead of the game … Continue reading →

Time for the hysteria to end? But are not cases surging, Texas hospitals over loaded, Sweden’s now at black plague death levels and all the Karen’s are cowering in TP forts? Mix of truth, hype and bullshit there folks and today I am going to try to cut though a lot of it. I am going to say this, many times my sources I provide are impeccable but today I am only going to provide a few. I am sick of doing “homework” for people. I will simply say I will be clear as I can today about when I … Continue reading →
