TweetThank a Vet Today

Today is Veteran’s Day and so it is time yet again for our special Veteran’s Day edition of The Survival Podcast.

I have also removed any time based references so that this version can be timeless. There is no commercial content today as the entire show is dedicated to those that serve our nation.

You will notice more music in today’s show, with songs by Trace Atkins, Tim McGraw or Toby Keith.

Additionally you will hear the song I co wrote with Gregg Yows, “What Have You Done”.

So tune in today for the story of Veteran’s Day, stories about our troops and the real reasons you should never miss a chance to say thank you to a veteran.

TweetToday is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes.

Today’s episode was originally, Episode-534- Prep? Save Money? Or Enjoy Life? and was first published on Oct. 19, 2010.

The following are the original show notes from that episode.

A question I get often is some variation of the following….

When do I stop prepping for a while and simply save some of our money?

When have I invested enough into prepping and should just start blowing some money once in a while?

How do I stay positive in the face of all the problems headed our way?

In essence these folks are asking at the core of things….

Is there hope in spite of the danger?

Is it okay to just have fun in spite of what might be coming?

Is there a such things as a “maintenance mode” as a prepper?

The nice thing is the answer to those last three questions are yes, yes and yes.

Join Me Today as We Discuss…

A quick refresher on commonality and probability

Exactly what is “money” anyway, why do we have it

What is life all about, what are we surviving for?

Setting your personal goals, the big ones

Time to debt freedom

Time forward in self reliance

Percentage of self sufficiency

Where you will go if you have to leave

How you want your daily life to be

What you need for basic comfort

What you need to be truly happy

What level of physical security do you desire

What level of financial security do you desire

How much redundancy do you want

The reasons most people won’t ask these questions

They require you to be 100% responsible for yourself

The answers are subject to your self imposed limitations

We have been conditioned to think focusing on what we want is selfish

The resulting answers require massive action

We all have a desire to “fit in” on some level, even me

Your plan is going to require sacrifice for some period of time

Why you can make it happen

In the end you make the decisions

You have the courage to ask the questions

It ain’t as hard as “they” make it out to be

We don’t have to prepared for “the end” just change

TweetToday is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes.

Today’s episode was originally, Episode-305- You Can’t Lose by as a Modern Survivalist and was originally published on Oct. 28th 2009.

The following are the original show notes from that episode.

The number one question I get from non preparedness minded individuals when I tell them about The Survival Podcast is simply, why?

Why takes many forms such as…

Why do you worry about so many things you can’t control?

Why do I need to do anything different then I am doing now, I got this far OK, right?

Why should I spend money on things I may never need or even use?

Why should I sacrifice just to be “debt free” because “you’re no one unless you own money in the nation anyway”?

Why should I store food?

Why do I need a gun, we have a nice town and a great police force?

Why do you feel the need to be an alarmist?

Oh and that list of why’s goes on and on, I assure you. Yet I always answer every single why with the same answer, “because the way I do things my life is better even if nothing bad ever happens”.

Tune in today as we discuss this concept and thoughts on how…

Living debt free is the only way to have the freedom we all desire

Why most people tolerate things in their life they should never allow

Why tax is theft and why understanding it creates freedom

Why no matter what people say you do need to prepare for bad times

How the media and the government create plastic lifestyles that we choose to live within

Why storing food will always pay itself back even if you never have to rely on it directly

Why a garden is liberating and a financial gain

Why so many people that start to prep fail and fall out and how to change that

TweetToday is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes.

Today’s episode was originally,  Episode-165- Threat Probability and Theat Impacts and was originally published on March 25th 2009.

The following are the original show notes from that episode.

Due to ongoing site level issues today’s show notes are brief and will have to be upgraded later. Today’s show covers two main concepts,

The Threat Probability Matrix and The Threat Impact Scale

As one decreases the other increases yet by focusing on the order of probability you can be must more effective in your planning and prepping.

Today its Friday so it’s time for 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 the expert council answers questions on knife making, farming, corporate structure, diet, earth works, battery banks, egg production and more.

TweetBen Falk in a Typical N.H. Winter

Ben developed Whole Systems Design, LLC as a land-based response to biological and cultural extinction and the increasing separation between people and elemental things. Life as a designer, builder, ecologist, tree-tender, and back country traveler continually informs Ben’s integrative approach to developing landscapes and buildings.

His home landscape and the WSD studio site in Vermont’s Mad River Valley serve as a proving ground for the regenerative land developments featured in the projects of Whole Systems Design. Ben has studied architecture and landscape architecture at the graduate level and holds a master’s degree in land-use planning and design.

He has conducted more than 300 site development consultations across the US and abroad, and has facilitated dozens of courses on property selection, permaculture design, and resilient systems.

He has given keynote addresses and presented dozens of workshops at venues ranging from Bione ers to the Omega Institute. Ben is the author of the award-winning book the Resilient Farm and Homestead (Chelsea Green, 2013).

He joins us today to discuss Winter preparations, firewood processing and storage, heating your home and domestic water with WOOD. Like why isn’t everyone doing this?  We also chat about his permaculture site in year 14 – huge fruit year here despite cool rainy summer.  About 20 types of fruit and another 50 varieties within that.
