Today two of my favorite people, John Willis and Nicole Sauce join me for our First Tuesday Coffee Chat. Today we talk about some current events and news stories but mostly dig into the recent ice storms and what prepping should be done for such events. We talked about the things you need to get though winter storms including the 4 simple preps that would save 90% of people, 90% of the problems.  I learned about an 1800s cook book that I bought right in the middle of the episode.  We even talked a bit about the recent shooting in … Continue reading →

Is it the best of times or is it the worst of times?  Perhaps it is just the dumbest of times?  I mean just look around you and ask yourself how we got here.  Just five and half years ago over half of America was hiding from the flu while building forts out of toilet paper and bottled water.  They were also chanting death cult slogans like, “stay at home, save lives” and “my mask protects me and your mask protects me” all while shoving untested vaccines into their bodies. Eventually that stupidity ended but today’s stupidity looks far worse … Continue reading →

Today we discuss a concept that is very old to me merged with a term that is brand new to me.  It is called Rebel Canning.  Rebel Canners are communities of people using traditional canning methods that gasp, ignore many recommendations by the USDA for canning.  These people however are not adult children.  The spirit in these groups is not I won’t do what you say simply because I want to be a rebel.  More I am a rebel because I can think for myself and your rules do not really make sense at all. But how could the USDA … Continue reading →

SPECIAL NOTICE – The intro to this episode may seem a bit “off” as it is a rewind of a rewind.  I am stuck in Vegas so this is the best I can do for today and tomorrow.   For more info on that, see this link. I was going to call this show “14 Rules for Being a Modern Survivalist” but I realized that would violate my survival tenet that reads… “Your personal philosophy is more important for you than mine! You are the master of your own life and if you don’t agree with my views, great, define, understand … Continue reading →

SPECIAL NOTICE – The intro to this episode may seem a bit “off” as it is a rewind of a rewind.  I am stuck in Vegas so this is the best I can do for today and tomorrow.   For more info on that, see this link. Today we get a lighter show and I think we could use one.  I was happy to see this subject come in second place in the polls for September’s shows.  Those of us that grew up in the 70s and 80s may be the last generation of children who knew true freedom as children. … Continue reading →

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 basic technique teaching. Of you can teach the process and theory behind cooking and a person can then create meals on the fly … Continue reading →

Sadly a component of the “sovereign citizen movement” have actually ruined the word, “sovereign citizen”.  While many in the movement are peaceful and tend to operate via turning the state unto itself via the courts, enough idiots have committed acts of violence under the phrase to widely ruin what it was supposed to mean. However, as so often is the case that which is ruined often leads to that which is better.  In this case I think the term “sovereign human” is a much better term.  Citizen denotes a state, and a state denotes control.  But no matter our state … Continue reading →

This episode was a back to basics show. Simple stuff that we all need reminding about day to day in order to stay sharp. This is also the exact type of information to give to people new to prepping, especially the totally unprepared that “don’t get it”. We all have fiends like that right? So many people seem to believe you are either some sort of “extreme doomsday prepper” or you are just normal.  I say that the way most people not normal.  I am talking about adults here and adults should be first and foremost responsible.  Responsible first for … Continue reading →

Today we are going to talk about one of the primary support planks that need to be in place for real modern survival living.  It won’t be about storing food, the right guns, getting defense training or securing your property.  All of those are incredibly important and there is a ton more that is important as well.  That said, what is the primary leverage we use to get these things and many others done?  The answer is money. Money is a symbol for energy, that is what it really represents, whether human labor, natural energetic systems or man made automation, … Continue reading →

Right now all the talk in the media is about a woman who was shot in her vehicle by an ICE agent.  Most of the talk is of course retarded and angled to support the left’s claim that ICE murdered a woman in cold blood.  But what really happened, that is just one thing we will look at today.  We will also revisit the new food pyramid we discussed on Thursday and the left’s predictable reaction to it, but what is the real source of anger about it?  Also quietly last month the USDA reallocated almost 700 million dollars to … Continue reading →
