Today I will take a look into the next 3.5 years, yea half of 2016 is already gone and tell you the good, the bad and the ugly of what I see coming.  They world is not on “a tipping point” it is teetering on dozens of them, some good, some bad and again some ugly.

Understand I am not someone who claims to be a futurist or a profit, just a person that pays attention and isn’t willing to let others tell me what will or won’t happen.  Over the years I racked up a lot of spot on predictions and a few misses to boot, keep that in mind today.

We are at a very unique point in history though, there has never been a time like this, ever.  Every generation seems to think that but this time really is different.

Consider that in 1995 almost no one was online.  It was going to be 3 years before google was even founded, but yahoo was born in that year, as a simple directory.  There was no such thing as a smart phone, no Facebook, Twitter, Slack or any social media at all.  I was using a pager for work, only senior managers had mobile phones.  We still had tape players and frankly CD players in cars.  It would not be till 2001 that the first iPod would let you keep a measly 1000 songs on it.

In 1995 a 1 gig hard drive was huge, now we have 256 gig usb drives that hang on a key chain.  That is only 20 years ago folks.  And nothing has slowed down, in fact tech is speeding up rapidly.

In those same 20 years China’s GDP doubled making second only to the US as a global economic super power.  Russia rebuilt itself after the fall of the USSR into a new military and economic superpower.  In the last 5 years the middle east has turned into a complete quagmire.  You know what though, all that stuff is typical, it is what happens when you marry technology to the standard global flux that thing really start to change.

Tune in today to discuss…

Things that will clearly be on their way out by 2020

Conventional education

Most manufacturing jobs

Most agricultural jobs

The general practitioner doctor

A tremendous number of low level and service jobs

The current IPR paradigm

Things we will see available by 2020 in mass

3D printers – in a way you can’t yet imagine

Self driving cars will start to be on regular roads

Virtual reality will be on the way to becoming a mega industry

Bad things likely to happen by 2020 or very soon there after

The student loan bubble won’t pop, it will explode

Commercial real estate will crash in a way that makes 2008 look like a day at Disneyland

The government is going to take over health care, people will beg them to

The stock market will crash, hard

The government will take over everything it can (survival mode)

Dozens even hundreds of pension funds will fail

Domestic terrorism will get worse

The solution

There is no one solution

Work hard, save, protect your wealth

Develop hard and soft skills

Stay up to date on technology (yes social media)

Create groups, community, relationships

There has never been a time more suited to basic prepping

Don’t be afraid, when you fear you capitulate to tyranny

Be open to radical change at the systems level

Be a willow not an oak

Today I was supposed to have an interview for you but due to a technical problem, that has to be postponed.  As this came up late in the day doing the Thursday show today isn’t really an option either, so you get two just Jack shows this week.

I feel this subject is very important and it is why I created the Granddaddy’s gun club recently.  I think too many in this nation who are pro gun rights are in a false sense of security today, seeing only “liberals”, “progressives” and politicians as enemies of the 2nd Amendment.

The truth is that the largest growing anti gun block in America is people under 30 and there is a reason!  You can blame politicians and policy makers for it but changing them out won’t help, the problem is far more systemic.

Join Me Today to Hear…

The objections we hear and how misguided they are

Thinking you will fight the government is delusional

We only want “common sense gun control”

You are more likely to kill yourself or a loved one than stop a crime

The second amendment is about the National Guard

Why we are in real trouble long term

The level of ignorance about guns has hit an all time high

The gun show loophole myth

The second amendment is about muskets

Assault rifles are “more powerful”

Many pro gun people are not active gun owners/users

Children are being taught to fear guns

Children are not being taken out to shoot

Finding a place to shoot is getting harder every day

People with guns are being vilified just for having them

What we need to do and start doing right now

Make no apologies and no concessions, 20,000 plus “infringements” are enough

Take non shooters to the range, to the back 40 what ever

Use training tools like airsoft, etc. to soften entry

Teach your children to tell you anything they hear in school about guns

Avoid “arguments of statistics”

Explain what “responsible gun ownership means”

Correct logical fallacies and outright lies

Teach, train and preach responsible gun ownership

TweetNine Mile Farm – Three Years Into It – We Didn’t Get Here By Accident but we did Make Mistakes Along the Way

Today we continue our Tuesday shows selected by you the audience.  You can see the results of the voting for June here, and the new poll to vote on July’s show is already up and ready for voting here.

The winners for June are as follows,

Four Years of Flux – The Rapid Changes Between Now and 2020

Your First Year on a New Homestead – Taking Actions without Regretting Them

Eating like a king on a Below Average Income

The 12 Planks of Modern Survivalism – A Revisit 8 Years After I First Created Them

I decided to kick the month off with Your First Year on the New Homestead as a lot is fresh in my mind because Dorothy and I watched this video last night.  If you have seen any recent video of my property the differences are staggering.  That said there were a lot of things in this video that changed, some even failed and some we just decided not to do.

Why?  Observation, interaction, on the fly learning, adaptation, opportunity recognition and other things we will discuss today.

Join Me Today To Discuss…

The Urge to get shit done fast and why to hold back a bit

Start with infrastructure

Water – specifically irrigation/pluming

Access – don’t design it out

Structures – people, gear, animals

Containment – control of animals and humans

Mobile Housing – best bet in the first year

For food production start small and intensive

Intensive gardens or wicking beds

Rack housed livestock

Tractored livestock

Some big things to do not

Buying plants/trees without know where/when they will be planted

Adding livestock before you have means to control them

Put in isolated structures, features, gardens, etc

Some things to do

Walk your property daily take it all in

Keep a journal, notes, etc.

Observe neighboring property

See out cheap/free sources of materials (use caution)

Develop a composting solution

Get shit organized – I am personally weak at this

Finish one thing before you begin the next

Keep a record of things you have to do/fix often, develop a how to “manual”

The most important analysis – analyze yourself

What do you like to eat

Are you going to be okay killing animals or even having them killed

How much can you store

How much time a week do you have to do things

Can you honestly do basic maintenance every morning and evening

What do you really want from your homestead

Some very important things to consider

Just because it works for someone else doesn’t mean it will for you

Homesteading is NOT a competitive sport

Always remember you may have to sell a property some day

Admit, accept and correct mistakes FAST

Always be willing to take a step back

Understand most animals bind you to your property

Consider hiring part time help if you have the budget

Hire out stuff you will never get to if it is important

In the end, you will make mistakes just stick to ones you can correct easily
