The Survival Podcast

Today is an episode of Friday Fusions, a series that combines my direction and source selection with the virtual AI hosts in Google Gemini Notebook. I choose the topic, assemble the source material and give the AI specific instructions on how to approach it. The virtual hosts then turn that information into a conversation. These Friday episodes let me bring you additional content while continuing to produce the four regular TSPC episodes I host each week. AI can make mistakes, mispronounce words or occasionally state something with more confidence than accuracy, so verify anything important before acting on it. The … Continue reading →

Today we are joined by Robin Greenfield to discuss what it actually takes to forage 100% of your food and medicine for an entire year. No grocery stores, no restaurants and not even a garden to fall back on. Robin is living entirely from what he can harvest from the land and water, using wild plants, fish, wild rice, mushrooms, road killed deer and other locally available foods to sustain himself. This is not some weekend stunt either. It is the result of more than a decade spent building the knowledge and skills required to even attempt something like this. … Continue reading →

Here’s the cleaned up version. I kept your meaning, structure, and voice intact, and only fixed grammar, typos, punctuation, and clunky phrasing. We as humans owe a great deal to technology. If I think back to when I was a senior in high school in 1989, so many things I take for granted today simply did not exist. Today, if I need a ride, I can use Uber or Lyft and do so in just about any town with a few thousand people. When I was a kid, if my car was not available, I had to bum a ride … Continue reading →

Monday Mayhem shows are a throwback to the roots of The Survival Podcast.  Fast riffs on many topics in real time.  No deep presentations or digging into the finer points of a an aquaponics system.  A mix of practical prepping, current news and economic trends and real opinions you will never hear from main stream or even most alternative media. Today we discuss some good news about meat processing but don’t celebrate just yet.  We ask a simple question, why don’t any of the people upset about retiring farmers selling their land, take up farming?  Yes, diesel has gone up … Continue reading →

Today we are joined by Peter Mac Isaac to talk about something that can become life or death very damn fast, surviving a wildfire and giving yourself a real chance of saving your family, your property and your home. Most people are told that when wildfire approaches the answer is simple, evacuate and hope for the best. Peter says that approach leaves people dangerously dependent on a system that may be overwhelmed, delayed or simply unable to get to them in time. We will dig into what homeowners can actually do before and during a wildfire. That includes creating defensible … Continue reading →

If you asked me simply, “what is the one action that most people could take that will bring them the most freedom”, my instant response would be starting a business.  If you then asked me, “why don’t more people do it”, my answer would be far more layered and it would include… Because it is hard Because they don’t know what to do or how to to it Because they perceive it as risky Because people fear failure Because they doubt themselves ` There is more but in my experience which now spans more 35 years these are the big … Continue reading →
