Today we are joined by Bo Carter to talk about solar grazing and agrivoltaics: combining food production with solar energy on the same land. I’ve been talking about this idea for about ten years, including how spaced-out solar panels can leave pasture growing beneath them, provide shade for livestock and improve resilience during dry periods. I was often told the animals would destroy the panels a...

I thought it was time for a not so serious episode and given we are heading into the holiday season, it also seems timely.  There are plenty of parties, meals and such coming in the next few months of course.  I have also said since starting this podcast over 18 years ago that, “since we all eat every day cooking is both a survival skill and a lifestyle design skill as well. Cooking and trying new...

Today we are joined by Mollie Engelhart to discuss disturbing research showing that male cattle are producing milk. A study of over 20,000 cattle found that 14.5% of beef steers and nearly 20% of dairy-cross steers were lactating at slaughter. One possible explanation involves hormonal growth implants used in commercial beef production. While no direct connection has been proven, the findings rais...

One of the quotes the audience really loved from early days of this podcast all the way back in 2008 was, “winter is coming it always does”.  Well it is coming again, as it always does.  And now is the time for us to get prepared because now is when we have the time to look forward and can logically find solutions before we are hit by the stress of emergency reaction mode. Additionally with the “m...

In this episode from 2021 I talked about remaining bold in the face of fear, and did so right in the middle of the CoVid 19 scamdemic. On the day I did the original version that morning I did a Miyagi Mornings video.  It was about the difference between entrepreneurs and business owners and it got me thinking about being bold when others are in a state of fear.  More it made me think about how big...

In this episode from 2016 I talked about cooking venison.  And right out of the gate if you are not into or do not have access to game, this podcast will still be advantageous to you, every technique I cover can be applied to any red meat like say beef or lamb. Cooking really is all about technique, and red meat is red meat, pork is pork, etc.  There are some differences due to fat content we will...

After yesterday’s closing segment I started thinking about what people should grow if they really need to grow food.  More what people with average sized yards can grow and how they should be growing it for real needs, not just the nice to have garden many of us maintain. The crops here can all be grown on small patches of land and they are either very high value in either a monetary or caloric wa...

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....

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 wit...
