Low budget or no budget prepping tonight on I Am Liberty! This one could get a little dodgey but if you are willing to put in the effort you can reap the benefits at little or no cost. Also arsenic rice and shameless questions answered.

Common Sense Preparedness #18

Feel Free to drop us a comment on our new comment system. Our staff is ready to respond to you. Memorial Day is the beginning of all the summertime fun, barbecuing, pool Parties, and camping. However during these fun times a lack of Common Sense can cause a quick end to all the fun. Common Sense Preparedness takes a look at how to be safe during our summertime fun.

A wise man prepares for the darkness, while a fool plays. Don't get caught playing. Listen to Common Sense Preparedness – An American Readiness Program

The Human Path is comprised of 3 episodes tonight

012: Introduction to Permaculture

July 17th, 2011 at 12:19 pm   Human Path instructor Paul Range, Ph.D., discusses the basics of Permaculture from its history to its intended purpose as a self-sustaining food source, part of the green homesteading movement.

013: - Primitive Engineer Specialty Overview

During this episode, Sam Coffman talks about the specialty of "Primitive Engineer."  The primitive engineer represents (more than any other specialty) the ability to "improvise, adapt and overcome."  Adaptability is one of the two major components of good survival skills, and in order to adapt, a person has to have a base set of skills.  

014: Urban Scenario Discussion, Part 1

Sam Coffman and Paul Range discuss a scenario that should benefit any listener:  Assume you live in the city in an apartment and have at most $50 - $100 of disposable income that you are willing to spend per month toward becoming more prepared.  This is the first segment of at least a few hours of discussion on this topic, so stay tuned for continuing episodes over the next 3 -4 days.This discussion will span several episodes.  In today’s podcast, Sam Coffman and urban survival instructor Paul Range Ph.D.  start by talking about:

    Basic Urban Strategies based on your Location

    Prepping on a Budget (again, more on this in the next few episodes as well)

    Water - Acquisition, Purification, Storage

    Food - Storage basics

John and Carrie talks about Homesteading/self sufficient and self reliant freedom. As well as Land Hints and compromises. Also the Code of the West by John Clarke and some Recipes.

A triple episode of The Human Path tonight. First is episode #2, "The Human Path School Specialties" originally aired 6/30/2011

In today's podcast, Sam discusses the specialty areas of his outdoor wilderness survival school, The Human Path.  The specialty areas help break down a massive amount of curriculum into digestible pieces.

Specialty Course Areas:

   Primitive Engineer     Combat Medic     Hunter Gatherer     Scout/Spy     Leader

In episode 11, Sam Coffman continues on the topic of the Hunter Gatherer (Level 1) specialty.  Some of the topics he covers are:

    Foraged edible plants in the wild - myth vs. realities     Surviving on wild food without animal protein. Is it possible?     The psychological aspects of dealing with hunger in a survival situation.  Both in a group and alone.     The "attitude" of primitive skills and how vital this is as a skill by itself.

And the third episode is from the 11th podcast, entitled, "Primitive Skills vs. Survivalism"

    Attitude and morale - how these are a crucial aspect to survival, and how this relates to learning primitives skills     A comparison between skills-based vs. technology-based survival.  Why is there a gap between these two worlds?     An overview of The Human Path's vision and how it relates to bridging the worlds between technology-based "survivalism" and primitive skills.
