Podcast appearances and mentions of jack spirko

My planned guest didn’t show up today and left me in a last minute lurch.  I reached out to Nick Ferguson because we can always do a great show even in a last minute situation on permaculture and homesteading.  So join us today as we just riff on some topics. Some things we will talk about today include… The coming fall workshop and some of the stuff we will be teaching students during it A chance to engage Nick as a property consultant on property if you are in the TX/LA/OK/AR area A chance to engage Nick as a remote … Continue reading →

Jack Spirko joins us to discuss Jack's new book, Laws of Life: Now Build the System for Your Life (the second of two in the series) and the worldview behind it: that nearly everyone has a marketable genius and the tools to build the life he wants, yet most people stay stuck -- complaining, fantasizing about ideas they never execute, and measuring success in the wrong terms. All this despite having more and (more extraordinary) tools at their fingertips than anyone who came before them. The conversation runs from reprogramming negative self-talk and monetizing your own expertise, through the difference between making and earning money, to a blunt case for ignoring your critics.

This year Walmart has a store brand of plant starts that are $2.48, which is more than half the price of the other name brand.  The selection isn't large, but if you want to grow something without having to spend too much this is a great option.    Walmart also marks plants down on Tuesday and Friday, I go in on Wednesdays. This week I got a pot with two jalapeno plants that are over 2' tall with flowers and some peppers on them for $4, marked down from $12, and a few weeks ago I found some tomato starts for $1.     Operation Independence Gutter Magic   Filter or Firehose Set: Bear's presentation on layers of community and the question (I'm weird) Dating these days 5 elements of building community Create Contribute Connect Clarity Compassion Purpose of dating Partnership or hookup - which person are you?

Today I'm fired up from the Spring Workshop and a pretty fantastic concert we had yesterday with my choir in Cookeville, tn. We will share the stories, the people, the late-night brainstorms, the amazing food, and yes... the sea sponges. If you've never been to one, this episode will be a fun listen and if you have - I hope you enjoy the journey through LFTN25. Featured Event: Wild Foraging Walk with Strong Roots Resources – May 10, strongrootsresources.com Sponsor 1: EMP Shield – Protect your home, car, and gear from lightning strikes and power surges. empshield.com — Use coupon code LFTN for a $50 discount.
 Sponsor 2: Discount Mylar Bags – Long-term food storage doesn't have to break the bank. Quality mylar bags, oxygen absorbers, and more. discountmylarbags.com Tales from the Prepper Pantry - The prepper pantry is finally usable and mostly organized—still clearing out the last of the Spring Workshop aftermath
 - Pulling road food from the freezers: steaks travel well, plus premade chili, soup, scotch eggs, and dried salami
 - May is audit month for leftover canned goods
 - Planting a much smaller garden this year since we moved it—but still planting
 - Also, I GOT BROCCOLI. Weekly Shopping Report I made a trip on Tuesday to Food City for a couple of bags of flour and a 22 lb. bag of Meow Mix (that our cats ask for by name); and Walgreens for the goop I put in my eye at night (“Stye”) so it doesn't dry out. Only the first Tuesday in the month is Walgreens' “senior day,” when Grumpy Old Men (and women) get a discount.
For our usual trip, the weather gave us a clear stretch amidst the bands of heavy rain on Thursday. Most people must have decided to wait, as there was little traffic.
Dollar Tree was first. They're finally out of the big non-carbonated Monsters I was getting, but there were plenty of other choices. Stock levels throughout the store looked good. Sonia has been able to find some craft items in there lately.
We also went to Hobby Lobby for some acrylic paint. We didn't walk around the whole store looking at other stock, but I didn't see empty sections or anything else odd. Things may change with the tariffs on Dragon Country, but not yet. They were “normal-busy” with a short wait to check out.
The online price of a 2x4x8 stud at Home Depot is still $3.85.
Aldi was last. We found everything we wanted. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.39; eggs: $4.97; whole milk: $2.92; heavy cream: $5.29; OJ: $4.09; butter: $3.49 (-); bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.39; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% ground beef: $4.59.
Untainted regular gasoline at Weigels is still $3.59/gallon. Operation Independence I had a great conversation with John Pugliano this week that's helping bring clarity to the next big project here at the Holler. I'm still sorting out the details, but it's one of those moments where a few things click into place, and you realize what really needs to happen next. Hint: It starts with some RV spots. Main Topic: Behind the Scenes at the LFTN Spring Workshop Today I want to pull back the curtain on what really makes the Spring Workshop special—not the agenda, not the official sessions, but the stuff that makes it unforgettable.
 Glenn's Rum – He always shows up with something we've never tried. This year? It was memorable. Let's just leave it at that. Carnivore Scotch Duck Eggs – Y'all, the food. This isn't your standard workshop fare. It's duck eggs. It's bacon. It's food that fuels you for real work. Alan Booker measuring brix – Alan showed me how to measure brix in my plants, gave me a compliment, then called my leaves "aphid food." And you know what? He was right. Patrick Roehrman's precision strike – My one-of-a-kind MT Knives kitchen knife got used to slice a carpenter bee out of the air. No, really. While it was flying. Emily Zanotti Skyles and the plantain spit war – She left fired up about wild edibles. Her kids? They took that knowledge and turned it into backyard ammo. The greenhouse swim spa debate – We planned to function-stack a greenhouse over the swim spa… and ended up realizing Nicole just needs to bury her electrical lines already. Ian's moment – On his way home, Ian stopped by his family land and decided: it's time. That's the kind of clarity these weekends bring. John Pugliano and Meshtastic – He helped all of us finally understand how Meshtastic works—and why it matters. Leos' pop-up blacksmithing – Did I mention we had a surprise forge session? Because of course we did. Glenn's hamburgers – Day one. Fire. Flavor. No notes. Gavin and the birds – Gavin wandered through the holler like a nature monk with binoculars, pointing out the birds we miss every day. Jack Spirko's bioreactor breakthrough – Sometimes the right fencing and weed cloth are all it takes to spark a better compost design. Community eggs – Between scotch eggs, scrambles, and three separate egg suppliers, we fed the holler crew with ease—and had leftovers. Late-night wrestling matches – You know who you are. I won't name names… this time. Pocket door rescues – Multiple saves were made, but one prepper decided to handle it solo. Mad respect. The sea sponges – If you know, you know. And finally—YOU – The participants. Every single person showed up not just to learn, but to help each other figure out their next chapter. So why haven't you taken your shot? Is it the money? The time? The fear of people? Or do you just think you're not good enough? If it is that last one, take a good hard look at that because you are. You are good enough. You deserve to build your dream. And you can do it - it may look different when you get there than you thought it would, but you can go further - but it takes hard work, strong community and it takes being a DOER. Make it a great week, GUYS!

Jack Spirko passionately identifies 15 things that are the enemies of the people, and this ends up being a great reveal for our generation! He goes from the military industrial complex, to the medical complex, to education. Of course, the government is intimately involved in almost every one of these enemies!The question becomes, do we really think we can elect politicians who will fix any of these things? Or should we just learn how to cope?Follow Us:YouTubeTwitterFacebookTumblrAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott VideographyClip Used: The 15 Biggest Enemies of the People - Epi-3641By: Jack Spirko

And it all started with that one, poorly executed episode. A single decision. A ton of feedback from yall. And encouragement when things got tennous. Episode 1000 is tomorrow and I am excited to share it with Jack Spirko fo the Survival Podcast and John Willis of Special Operations Equipment. But today, I'd like to share with you what my life was like in May of 2016. I was founder and president of a half million to  million dollar nonprofit with a mission to equip free market economists in the public policy world with better story telling skills and marketing departments (TALK ABOUT NICHE) I had been homesteading for 9 years and was selling my extra vegetables and craft roasted coffee at the farmers market on saturdays I flew for work so much that I had earned a companion pass on Southwest - look that up I had 1 rental property in Nashville I was deeply unhappy, finding myself in a role where my time was not my own, my primary job was to raise money so that I could pay people to train other people who were not as good of trainers as I was. I was also HR manager, and operations vp, and cfo in function which meant …. Paperwork. Lots and lots of paperwork. After a trip, you could not get me out of the soil if you tried I drank too much A typical day on the homestead started early with some work outside and a cup of coffee. I would then transition into computer work and meetings, frantically tossing in a load of laundry or pulling something out of the freezer for dinner as I went. If there was a crisis, I was able to flew, but then would be looking at a late night of catch up for work. There were no days off. Not ever. The role I was in required that I be constantly available to respond to emails and text messages. It was so bad then when I started turning off my phone from 7-9pm on Mondays, one of the people who interacted with me actually had the gall to explain that because she was on the west coast and her day was not yet done, it was unreasonable for me to not be available from 7-9pm. And she was supported in this from the people who were responsible for about half to ¾ of my budget. The segment operation independence? That stemmed from this situation. Because my area of Focus from my personal life strategic plan was to “Have enough local, ongoing revenue to support my life.” It has been adjusted to regenerative ongoing revenue nine years later, but you get the point. I was solving for being too dependent on one source of income so that I could NOT say no even though I was running my own organization. I became soured on the whole nonprofit world as well as the public policy one because I saw the inherent flaw in trying to fix the system from within the system and over the next few years became convinced that the only way for freedom to grow was through individual action. Starting with myself. In 2017 - I broke out of the system. A typical day was to work for the nonprofit, unpaid so that the people there could use me for creating value so that they could continue it on. They failed at that. A sign the nonprofit should never have existed really. The day:1) Work frenetically on the Center Hill Sun 2) Sell a few coffee orders 3) Weekly podcast 4) More time for homesteading 5) Contract work for corporate facilitations >>>>Tell the rest of the story Make it a great week!

Main Topic: Seed Starting 4 Keys to Successful Seedlings Light, Light, Light A window isn't going to cut it—this is the #1 reason for failure. Use proper, full-spectrum grow lights (like Burrina lights) positioned uncomfortably close to seedlings. Keep lights on 12-16 hours per day for strong, stocky plants. If you don't have grow lights, be prepared for leggy seedlings. Soil Temperature Matters Too cold? Bad germination and weak seedlings. Ideal temp: 65-85 for many plants Use a seed heat mat (updated links below) or place trays in a warm spot like on top of the fridge. Consistent Moisture—Not Overwatering Keep soil evenly moist, not soggy. Bottom watering is best—use trays with no holes to create a DIY water table. Overwatering leads to weak roots and damping off. Underwatering even once can stunt growth for the life of the plant Potting Mix & Soil Biology If you're new, just buy a good quality seed-starting mix. Look for fine-textured, bark-free soil. Pro tip: Add a quart of soil from a well-run local garden to introduce beneficial microbes and integrate local soil biology. Advanced growers: Make your own with compost, biochar, worm castings, and indigenous microorganisms (IMO). Compost tea made from local soil is a fantastic boost. Soil Mix Don't mix your own unless you know what you're doing (WRONG ADVICE) Experiment while setting yourself up for success—but start with a 50/50 blend before committing fully. Learn from my mistakes Trays & Containers Deep pots (3-4 inches) = Stronger roots Plastic trays with no drainage holes work great for bottom watering. Solo cups are cheap and effective (poke a few drainage holes). Peat pucks: Can work, but I don't use them. Peat pots: Just don't. Choosing Seeds: Heirloom vs. Hybrid It's all okay! Pick what works for your system. Good seedling choices: Tomatoes, peppers, kale, chard, broccoli, lettuce, loofahs. Less ideal: Squash, cucumbers (direct sow if possible). Don't start indoors: Peas, beans, carrots, and most root crops. First Year: Choose 1-2 things, experiment, and don't stress if you buy starts. Keep going! Troubleshooting Germination: The Paper Towel Trick Use damp paper towels in a plastic bag to check seed viability before planting. Keeping Costs Down (While Buying Quality Equipment) Source second-hand greenhouse supplies from local growers. Attend local seed swaps (like the one here in February) for high-quality, adapted seeds. Consider bulk seed buys as a community.     Make it a great week!   GUYS!

My Thoughts On The Self Reliance Festival | episode 255 Join me today as I talk about my thoughts on the self reliance festival. My family and I just returned from this year's self-reliance festival in Camden Tennessee at the SOE compound. We loved it. It was our first time going but definitely not our last.  There were so many great speakers and demos going on there. There's no way you could have left there without a lot more knowledge and being hyped to go out there and do things.  I was very excited to see some old faces and meet some new ones. I have met Jack Spirko and John Willis before but it has been more than 10 years. I was still drinking when I went to Jack's place so that's at least more than 11 years ago. Camping was fun as always. This was my daughter's second time camping and she loved it.  There were so many kids for her to play with while we were there she had an absolute blast.  The real hero of the festival was Toolman Tim's wife who put on the Self Reliance Kids program. She did an amazing job. 

Today we have a catch up episode with some of the Unloose the Goose crowd.

Today, I run through my ten principles for canning. We will also cover canning basics for those of you who have not tried your own home canning. Livestream Schedule Tuesday, 9:30AM, Coffee Chat with Jack Spirko and John Willis Friday, 10:30AM,  Homestead Happenings With The Tactical Redneck Featured Event: SelfRelianceFestival.con Sponsor 1: The Wealthsteading Podcast Sponsor 2: DiscountMylarBags.com Tales from the Prepper Pantry Canning Pickled Beets Nervous about green beans Meal planning, pile of meat style Organizing meals for when I am away Weekly Shopping Report from Joe At Home Depot, a 2x4x8 is still $3.48. The store was fairly busy on multiple trips here on different days. On a later trip, I picked up a small Midea window AC unit I had ordered, a very efficient inverter model that I should be able to run with solar power if the need arises. Home Depot's price on it was actually slightly cheaper than Amazon's. They also had the blacktop patching "stuff" we needed for a spot on the driveway; sometimes they haven't had it. Aldi: They were busy on all three days, with multiple checkout lines going. We found everything we wanted except for cantaloupes, as they were few and miserable. I found a couple of better ones today. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.35; eggs: $2.67 (++); whole milk: $2.83; heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45 (+}; butter: $3.59; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.49; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $3.79. A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599. Frugality Tip From Christie My frugal tip is not a money tip, it's a time tip   Watering trees:  Hubby and I spent way too much time watering new trees around our property.  We found some cheap five gallon buckets, drilled four holes in the bottom using his smallest drill bit. Now to water a tree, we put the bucket beside the tree on the up side if it's on a hill and fill the bucket up and walk away. Let the bucket do the work.  The water slowly drains out of the bucket into the ground to the roots where you want the water, not running off because the hose delivers the water too fast.

"People that are in the Western world and specifically in the United States, what they're realizing, whether they can say it this way or not, is you're watching the end of an empire. I said this for a long time, and it's not the empire is going to collapse. The empire is collapsing right now. We are in the midst of, and people say economic collapse, it's empire collapse, which means economic is part of it." ~ Jack Spirko In this episode I interview Jack Spirko, host of The Survival Podcast, delving into the intersection of self-reliance, Bitcoin, and navigating the complexities of modern society.We explore the significance of preparedness in the digital age, the evolution of Bitcoin and its role in fostering financial autonomy, and discuss practical strategies for building a self-sufficient lifestyle amidst the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
