Ariel lives off grid in a tiny house nestled into the western mountains of Wyoming, a little over 6000 feet above sea level. She splits her own wood for heat, carries water by hand, uses a composting toilet, and attempts to grow, hunt, or forage as much of her own food as possible between the weather and wildlife she’s surrounded by. As a child, she was fortunate enough to be able to spend much of her free time exploring and playing in the woods. Little has changed now that she older. She moved to a place with a bigger woods … Continue reading →

Well the truth is these are 10 life skills we should be teaching every child and many adults who never learned. them.

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. Of you can teach the process and theory behind cooking and a person can then create meals on the fly … Continue reading →

Figured I would though some change ups at you guys this week so skipping the typical Monday feedback show for a back to basics episode.

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 →

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 →

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.

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 →

All the way back in 2008 I launched this podcast and I wanted a term I could hang my hat on so to say. I wanted something sane sounding and yet I wanted it to be accurate as to preparedness at the same time. Within the first few weeks I came up with the concept of “modern survivalism” and hence, “modern survivalist”. At that time I searched for exact matches of both terms and none came up. So I anchored down on that phrase. Today it is everywhere but I really believe TSP is the genesis of that concept. As … Continue reading →

Today the show notes are very brief, no links, no long story, just an introduction to the show so new folks that find it know what the heck is going on. In 2008 I said for the first time on the air, “you are never gonna pay off all your debt, then call me up and say Jack you are such a jerk, now I have no debt and all this stupid money”. Over the years from time to time I said many versions of this. Eventually people started actually doing it as a joke and it become a thing. … Continue reading →
