Many preppers are now looking at their stock piles and while they don’t necessarily need to go into long term storage they are using some of it and pondering say another 30-60 days of limited availability and restricted movement.  Keith Snow reached out about doing a show on cooking with your preps and I thought it was a great idea.  Keith is a long term friend of TSP and served on the exper...

I consider it quite fortunate that back in late November of 2019 a listener asked me about something called, “Kratky Hydroponics” named for Dr. Kratky who is a professor at the University of Hawaii.  Up until that point I had never really seriously considered hydroponics as I vastly preferred aquaponics because it is a more natural system. When I grasped the true simplicity of Kratky t...

I am going to say a bit more on the concept of treating CoVid with hydroxychloroquine today and play a patient testimonial as well.  Doing this because I feel we 100% need to educate people about this.  Doctors are still resistant and supplies are still limited but for many this is the answer to treatment. Very quickly though we will turn to growing your own food.  Today I just going to give you s...

I want to take a three pronged approach to this today.  First as I predicted treatment of CoVid with hydroxyhloroquine is already beginning in earnest.  I am no doctor but I am going to talk about this form a set of known facts today, then expand into my opinion based on those facts. I am in fact going to tell you why I think some over the counter supplements MIGHT be very useful for fighting CoVi...

The word of the week in fact the word or the month is solutions and so that is what we are discussing today with Expert Council member Nicole Sauce.  While many right now are out of work and hoping this ends before that becomes permanent, some are thriving in the side hustle and gig economy.

I asked expert council member John Pugliano to join me today to discuss the effects of the CoVid-19 outbreak on our economy. The reality is nothing in modern history really compares to what we are now experiencing. The market is down massively and businesses are closed others are open only part time, many that are open are doing very little business. All of this has both good and bad aspects to it...

I decided to bring on Doc Bones from the expert panel to discuss the CoVid-19 situation from a pragmatic real world stand point.  Doc is taking this seriously and has good advice but his central message can be broken down into two parts. Part One – Flatten the curve, follow the general advice, wash hands, social distance, etc. Part Two – Don’t panic, this too shall pass.  It won&...

Today we are not really going to talk about CoVid-2019 directly but more what it has exposed as weaknesses in the United States, what we should learn from it, why we likely will not and what that means you should do.  Hint on the last one, what you should do is mostly what I have said you should be doing for about 12 years now. The truth about CoVid-2019 is that it is not nothing but it is nothing...

Bit of a two fer today, going to spend about 10 minutes on Corona Virus an the financial hysteria going on right now and the amazing economic opportunity it is about to open up.  Yes I said opportunity!  It will get worse before it gets better and I think I may do a “what America should learn from CoVid-2019” show tomorrow so I will keep this all pretty brief.

I have attempted to be a voice of calm and reason with this current situation, as I always do.  As I stated last week the main reason is this audience should be at minimum prepared at a basic level.  What I have seen in general in response to “the corona virus” is a mixture ranging from some common sense to outright hysteria. The hysteria is coming from two camps, first is the main str...
