A common theme I tend to point out this time of year is that the winter months often come with an abundance of time to do things that simply don’t get done in busier times of the year. As a teen in Pennsylvania I came to fully understand the concept of “cabin fever”. The spring was full of gardening, trout fishing, chores, etc. Then summer brought more fishing (bass and catfish), harvesting, berry picking, scouting for hunting season, ground hog hunting. Fall would come and it was three months of bird hunting, sitting in tree stands, butchering deer and more. … Continue reading →

I want to focus on some side dishes, some additional meat options and yea even some keto/low carb options. However, let me say Thanksgiving is one day a year. … Continue reading →

Just so guys there is a method to my madness here, two hydro shows in one week? Yep so here is the reasoning.

A few weeks ago a caller asked me about something called Kratky Hydroponics. Now when you guys ask about something I have not yet heard about I look into it. I will admit though I was highly skeptical. It feels like today every other person wants to invent something, some new whatsitcalled method. Now look I am all for innovation but so many new “systems” often seem like solutions in search of a problem. I figured that is what Kratky was, bluntly I was wrong! Unlike most subjects that I do a stand alone show on I have not yet … Continue reading →

Ariel lives off grid in a tiny house nestled into the western mountains of Wyoming, a little over 6000 feet above sea level.

Well the truth is these are 10 life skills we should be teaching every child and many adults who never learned. them. I have done shows like this before but I want to come at it from a slightly different angle today. More along the lines of the process behind the skills. In other words you can teach someone to cook but showing them how a stove and a knife works and giving them recipes. That is basic technique teaching.

Long ago, we are talking 2008 here I started this podcast. I wanted to talk about all things modern survival related. To me nothing is more rooted in our survival than the ability to feed ourselves so I started talking about gardening. Still with tons of guns and gear types showing up in the early days I wondered if garden type shows would be well received. Not only were they but they became some of the most popular episodes I have ever done. Within that group shows dedicated to a group of plants you can or should grow, especially lesser … Continue reading →

Last week I discussed a YouTube video called “The Tool Box Fallacy” (a video by Passion of the Nerd on YouTube) and I challenged you guys to state a life goal that you have been holding back on due to this fallacy.

Well 6 people willing to step up is enough for me so today we are digging into this at a deeper level. The … Continue reading →

Time for a two fer Tuesday. Rather than cover one of these subjects in deep detail I plan to cover both with enough of the basics for you to just be able to understand the primary concepts and get started with both. First on saving seed, the good news is this is really easy and man has been doing it with no special equipment for about as long as he has understood what seeds were. It is simple to do and the key is picking the things that work best for you. Starting plants is actually a bit more complicated, … Continue reading →

Donnie Gebert is a former Army and Navy; Ammunition Supply, Infantry, Electronics Tech, and Intelligence Sergeant. Donnie joins us today to discuss decentralized/DIY legislatures and the concept of “automating Congress”.

Each individual signs the social contract, agreeing to not commit basic human harms like murder, rape, and theft. The individual then becomes their own Senator in their own legal silo. Legal silos aggregate to form legal structures. Sound complicated or crazy, it really isn’t either one. Tune in today to learn all about this revolutionary idea. Resources for … Continue reading →

The Summer of 2019 seemed to go on forever, September was no relief for much of the nation, it sure wasn’t here. That said the last two nights were in the 50s and nights in the 40s are soon on the way by the end of the week. The days are getting shorter and my morning walks result in blinding low sun angles at times. Two days ago a pack of black birds numbering several hundred passed though my back yard. Diamond doves has started showing up. All of these things are signs that the seasonal wheel has turned and … Continue reading →

According to the people in power we are all on the edge of total destruction, all the time and only they separate us from oblivion. Of course this is mostly a great way to control people. Governments need enemies to protect citizens from in order to keep them obedient and to allow for the steady removal of liberty over time. That said we do have some real problems, the fact that the people who claim to have solutions are actually the cause of those problems doesn’t change the fact that said problems exist. Just because many of the problems are … Continue reading →

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 I think we tend to think very compartmentalized, even those of us that fancy ourselves as “living a healthy lifestyle”. Many people hit the gym often, eat well, see their doctors like clock work and yet are they really “healthy” if we … Continue reading →
