Today on The Survival Podcast I answer your questions on diet, composting, soil fertility, aquaculture, family issues, green houses, automation, ponds, lawns, election predictions and more.

Make sure if you submit content for a feedback show that you put something like “comment for jack”, “question for jack” or “article for jack” in the subject line to assure proper identification for my screening process.

Please understand I receive several hundred emails a day and can’t get them all on the air.

I also do put out a lot of information on Facebook from emails that I can’t fit on the program though so keep em coming.

Today its Friday so it’s time for the expert council show. To ask a question for a show like this, just send an email to me at jack at thesurvivalpodcast.com with “TSPC Expert” in the subject line.

Today on The Survival Podcast, the expert council answers questions on vehicle maintenance, alternative health, bees, diabetes, invasive plants, AR15s, dogs, hiking, cooking, food storage and more.

In the body of your email first tell me the council member your question is for. Second ask your question concisely in one to two sentences maximum. Third any and all details after that. This is the formula to give you the best chance of getting on the air.

I do what I can to get as many of your questions as possible on the air but can’t always get to all of them. Our council is made of a wide variety of experts in everything from the tactical to the practical and everything in between.

To get more information on our Expert Council visit our “Meet the Expert Council Page” to learn more about them and their specific areas of expertise.

When ever the topic of low carb eating comes up almost instantly I get emails with two questions.  Question one is, well how do we prep food wise with out rice, beans, wheat and pasta?  The second one is, well what do we grow in our gardens?  Today we will take on question two, because it is the easier one to discuss and I have to manage to do two shows today due to a commitment to friends tomorrow.

Recently I embarked on a full on keto diet, my results have been amazing, you can track them along with me at this Keto Diet Playlist on my YouTube Channel.  But today we really are not going to talk about that so if you have zero interest in Keto or other low carb plans what you will get today is gardening for nutrient dense and high financial ROI food.  We will also say just a little bit about livestock and the role they play in this.

Join Me Today to Discuss…

Quote of the Day – Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are. ~ Kurt Cobain

What is low carb eating, simply put 20-40 carbs a day

The role of livestock in homesteading when low carb and some good choices

Quail – meat and eggs

Chicken – meat or eggs plus culls

Ducks – same as chickens

Rabbits – meat

Pigs, Cows, Goats, Sheep require more effort

All provide fertility

The good news is a lot of low carb veggies are high dollar and or high turn over

My 20 best crops for the Keto Gardener

Leaf lettuces – .5 net grams per ounce – note POINT 5

Spinach – .5 net grams per ounce – note POINT 5

Swiss Chard – .6 net grams per ounce – note POINT 6

Mustards – .5 net grams per ounce – note POINT 5

Asparagus – .7 net grams per ounce – note POINT 7

Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts – .8 -1.25 net grams per ounce

Kale and Cabbage – Under net grams per ounce

Green Beans – (pick young) – About 1 net grams per ounce

Peppers (hot and sweet) .9 – 1.25 net grams per ounce depending on variety

Okra (great at thickening) – 1 net gram per ounce

Radishes (wow do I have good news here) – .46 net grams per ounce (note POINT 46)

Tomatoes – .7 net grams per ounce (note POINT 7)

Summer Squash – .65 net grams per ounce (note POINT 65)

Seed Pumpkins – 1 net gram per ounce

Celery (regrowing cores is the easiest thing to do) .3 net grams per ounce (note that is POINT 3)

Green Onions – 1.3 net grams per ounce

Ginger (yes you can) – Used in very small quantities

Cucumbers –  About one net gram per ounce

Sweet Potatoes (summer greens, emergency calories) Less then net gram to the ounce raw

Ground Nut (apios americana) 2.5 Net Carbs to the Ounce

Bonus – Sunflower Microgreens – Per Ounce about .29 net carbs but 1.4 grams fat and .7 grams protein (12% ~ carbs ~ 59% fat ~ 29% protein)

Translation, it isn’t even hard and Keto Dieters and should garden for economic and quality reasons alone

Nicole sauce is a member of the TSP Expert Council and is known for her side hustle mentality and building community, among many other things. Since starting her homestead in 2007, Nicole has a strange habit of saying she will do something, then actually getting it done all while roasting some really great coffee.

Over the past three years she has rebuilt her life from the bottom up after leaving her career expanding Libertarian Party public policy, along with sharing her story on her podcast “Living Free in Tennessee”.

For 20 years Nicole has coached individual and corporations to systematically identify and pursue their core purpose, one step at a time.  Then how to take these core principles and effectively market their products and services.  She joins us today for a discussion on getting shit done, building community and giving back to others.
