Understanding local deer populations is essential for property management. Terrain features significantly influence deer movement and behavior. Selecting the right logger and forester is vital for property success. Creating physical barriers can help manage deer access and pressure. Planning and execution are key to successful land management. Compartmentalization can reduce social pressure on deer populations. Regeneration of native browse is important for wildlife health. Effective property management requires ongoing observation and adaptation. Property safety is paramount in land management. Economic factors play a crucial role in forestry decisions. Tree selection impacts habitat and wildlife positively. Ironwood trees are valuable for food and ecosystem health. Mushroom growth indicates a thriving ecosystem. Food plots can enhance wildlife management strategies. Diversity in tree species promotes resilience in ecosystems. Creating a food forest can provide sustainable resources.

Natural Intelligence Guest Cory Edmund Endrulat, Teacher of Natural Law, Integrative Health Coach and Author Humans invent synthetic technologies with the intention of solving problems and making life easier, yet there are many instances where these so-called advances have ended up creating more problems and complicating life. Pesticides, plastic packaging and processed foods are all prime examples of inventions that have fostered tremendous environmental and health challenges. Do these matters indicate that humans have lost touch with their natural intelligence - that innate ability to coexist in natural balance with all other life forms on earth? Guest Cory Endrulat, author of Natural Intelligence: The Technology of Peace joins us to talk about the natural intelligence of permaculture and voluntaryism as solutions to many of our modern world problems. Permaculture is a form of agriculture that mimics a natural ecosystem, in which each species contributes to the natural process of growing food - channeling rainwater, fixing nitrogen into the soil, helping the soil retain water, creating or decomposing compost and so on. Nature nourishes itself. Voluntaryism is the doctrine that relations among people are cooperative, accomplished with mutual consent. Voluntaryists are advocates of nonpolitical, non-violent strategies to achieve a free and smoothly functioning society. Cory helps us explore the natural and philosophical parallels between permaculture and voluntarism. He is a Teacher of Natural Law, an Integrative Health Coach, a practitioner of permaculture and a video content creator. His content covers health, education, freedom, morality, philosophy and taking action, and this work connects his mission and his message: "Nature Is The Answer," to inform us of a movement created for anyone to use in sharing timeless and universal knowledge.

"When we take the poisons out and we grow food instead of lawns, we grow the Garden of Eden all around us." "The idea is simply going back to nature, going back to God, going back to service and love and joy and stewardship of our land." "Permaculture is not only the most loving and logical strategy on how we end hunger globally, but this is also the only way we are going to defeat tyranny." "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve." "Faith and courage have no boundaries." "The answer to war is peace." Today's guest, Jim Gale, was introduced to me by Matt Drinkhahn, the eternal optimist. And my dad said that today's guest, Jim Gale, is the eternal optimist. He says that food forests equal freedom. My dad said it would be nice if we could go back to the Garden of Eden and make that happen again. Jim, welcome to the Better Call Daddy show. Broadcasting live from the Garden of Eden, Jim Gale shares his journey of raising four daughters during an apocalypse, his dedication to bringing solutions to the masses, and the importance of permaculture. Jim discusses how sustainable agricultural design can solve the world's biggest problems and the critical role of nature in our lives. He reflects on his connection to nature through meditation, breathwork, and reading, and how this has led him to a simple truth: love life again. Jim's work has even caught the attention of Robert Kennedy Jr., and he shares his conversation with Kennedy about changing society through permaculture. Jim explains how permaculture can reduce crime, improve mental health, and create food security by integrating food forests into schools, prisons, and community spaces. He also touches on his experiences in Costa Rica and the challenges of government intervention. Join us as Jim Gale discusses his mission to catalyze a shift in awareness, the importance of self-reliance, and the role of faith and courage in standing up to tyranny. He shares personal anecdotes, including his red-pill moment, the impact of permaculture on his family, and his vision for a world where food forests replace lawns and bring about peace on earth. Whether you're interested in sustainable living, permaculture, or simply seeking inspiration, this episode offers valuable insights into creating a healthier, more connected world.
