Well the truth is these are 10 life skills we should be teaching every child and many adults who never learned. them.  I have done shows like this before but I want to come at it from a slightly different angle today.  More along the lines of the process behind the skills.  In other words you can teach someone to cook but showing them how a stove and a knife works and giving them recipes.  That is...

Long ago, we are talking 2008 here I started this podcast.  I wanted to talk about all things modern survival related.  To me nothing is more rooted in our survival than the ability to feed ourselves so I started talking about gardening.  Still with tons of guns and gear types showing up in the early days I wondered if garden type shows would be well received.  Not only were they but they became s...

Time for a two fer Tuesday.  Rather than cover one of these subjects in deep detail I plan to cover both with enough of the basics for you to just be able to understand the primary concepts and get started with both.  First on saving seed, the good news is this is really easy and man has been doing it with no special equipment for about as long as he has understood what seeds were.  It is simple t...

According to the people in power we are all on the edge of total destruction, all the time and only they separate us from oblivion.  Of course this is mostly a great way to control people.  Governments need enemies to protect citizens from in order to keep them obedient and to allow for the steady removal of liberty over time.
