The Survival Podcast (General)

In this episode I was joined by Joel Salatin. We discussed some of the biggest challenges to small producers today, how can farmers transition from traditional agriculture to more natural production and increase profits at the same time. We also talked about how homesteaders can adapt some of Joel’s techniques raising small livestock like poultry and rabbits and the importance of ethical slaughter. We then moved in to leader follower grazing systems, helping our local producers and a ton more.

It has been awhile since we have done a strait up listener Q&A show so I thought today would be a great day to do just that. We have a few bitcoin questions today, we also have some on business and economics along with a mixed bag of homestead/permaculture/gardening type stuff as well. I love old school shows like this, it is a huge part of what we built TSPC on in the early days so kick back and enjoy the variety of this episode.

Today we’re diving into the underground world of fungi with Olga from Mushroom Mountain. She grew up foraging mushrooms in the forests of Bosnia and Hercegovina, learning from her grandparents which ones to eat, which to toss, and how to live with the land instead of just on it. These days, she runs Mushroom Mountain, a powerhouse operation producing spawn for edible and medicinal varieties, plus mushroom extracts and honeys under the Mycomatrix label. But that’s just scratching the surface. Olga also leads a wild mushroom food safety certification program that’s FDA-endorsed and accepted by seven states so far. She’s … Continue reading →

Last week I was at the LFTN 25 Workshop put on by my good friend Nicole Sauce. While there, one of the fellow presenters was talking about applying permaculture in suburban settings. She had done an amazing job transforming her backyard into a productive, beautiful space. But when it came to the front yard? That’s where the “Karens” and the HOA enforcers drew the line. Nicole pointed out to me, “You haven’t covered that in a while.” She’s right, it’s time to revisit how to stick it to the rule-makers while still playing the game better than they do. Today, … Continue reading →

Today we discuss the launch of 21 Capital, something everyone’s talking about, but no one’s actually explaining. The headlines are full of noise, but the real story is deeper and way bigger than most people realize. We’ll break down what’s really going on behind the scenes: why Cantor Fitzgerald, Tether, SoftBank, and Jack Mallers are teaming up, what 21 Capital’s true business model is likely to be, and how it could completely reshape Bitcoin’s role in finance. No hype, no clickbait, and no half-baked opinions just well-formed, logical answers based on facts, connections, and the real incentives driving this move. … Continue reading →

In this episode I was joined by author and fellow podcaster Rob Wolf. We discussed paleo nutrition and the misconceptions in modern nutritional science. We also discuss his new entry into the world of Permaculture. Interviewing Robb was like talking to an old friend and more like having a bad ass co-host than a typical guest interview. I loved learning from him and I loved his openness to learn more about modern agricultural problems as well.

In this episode we discussed a common and bluntly stupid misconception among new preppers, the idea that with a gun and ammo you can get whatever you need. This is bluntly stupid an not only won’t it work, it won’t even be a remote possibility in 99% of all situations. This one is a hard core old school TSPC episode.

In this episode we discussed Permaculture design for the every day person’s property. In other words not necessarily the person who is going to attend a full PDC and spend the time and money to be certified. Ignoring the complex parts of permaculture that a specific to region types most of us will never visit let along live in. Rather sticking to the principles and techniques that work well for the average small to mid size property.

This will be the last new show (other than an Expert Council show this Thursday) until I return from Tenessee on Monday next week from Nicole Sauce’s LFTN Workshop. So I thought about it and one of my goals in 2025 has become to inspire more businesses to be founded and existing ones expanded in the TSPC community. So of course to do that I will leave you with an awesome motivational “you can do it” type of show, right? Nope! Today we will hit you hard with relaity and at the same time attempt to not destroy your “irrational … Continue reading →

In this episode Steven Harris joined me to discuss all aspects of solar heating. The minute people hear solar they think panels for electricity. However, the most efficient use of solar with the shortest ROI are solar heat systems. In this episode we talk about how you can build these systems for almost no money and more.

From there we move onto Real ID and why even though I don’t like it, I don’t really care much about it and why the hype around … Continue reading →

Today we discuss my personal 12 rules of business. Like many of my rules they are not exactly mine, rather those I learned from others and experience over the years. So many people seem to want to have a business but they either approach it without discipline or simply don’t know what to do so they never start. Many of my rules seem to oppose the experts, for example I do say follow your passion and many “experts” say that is a bad idea. They say seek a business that serves a market that has high demand, forget your passion. … Continue reading →

In this episode we discussed wicking beds for home food production in a way that improves ease of growing and virtually eliminates any conventional irrigation requirements. In reality wicking beds are the easy button especially in hot dry climates. While scale can be a limiting factor the production, reliability and reduced maintenance make them a fantastic choice for homestead production.

We talk a lot about side hustles as a transition strategy from the world of the J O B to the world of entrepreneurship but what if you could do it in a big way. From wage slave to 500K business, it can be done and today we talk to someone actively doing it. Our guest today is Nate who will remain anonymous other wise. He started his business in 2019 on a whim ager a slew of other attempts failed. This time he has gotten traction and is blowing it up. Today we will dig into how you actually … Continue reading →

Today we discuss restoring America’s health, not with another fad or magic pill, but by rethinking what we put in our bodies every single day. I’m using the word “diet” the way it’s meant to be used—our habitual nourishment, not some temporary punishment. The truth is, our nation’s health is in the gutter. Chronic disease is skyrocketing, and the solution isn’t more meds and surgeries—it’s food. Real food. In this episode, I break down how we got here, what all effective diets have in common, and six simple ways you can scale your eating habits to match your goals. Plus, … Continue reading →

Today we discuss The Trade Wars — a chaotic but opportunity-filled moment as Trump’s tariffs shake global markets, traders panic, and prices drop instead of rise. We dive into why early deleveraging might’ve saved the system, how Taiwan and Vietnam are already folding, and why a market crash is a buyer’s dream. Plus, oil’s collapse to $60 puts pressure on Russia and drops prices everywhere. And for the first time, Bitcoin holds steady while everything else burns — as the U.S. quietly embraces crypto with a Bitcoin reserve and stablecoin banking. This isn’t collapse — it’s the start of a … Continue reading →

You don’t have to own a business to think like an entrepreneur. That’s the big message today. Whether you’re self-employed, running a company, or punching a clock at a W2 job, adopting an ownership mindset changes everything. We’re talking about how this shift helps you build wealth, gain freedom, and take real control of your future. Entrepreneurs get the perks—tax advantages, flexibility, multiple income streams—but the mindset that gets them there? That’s available to everyone. If you’re an employee, you can still think like a business owner. Be proactive. Solve problems. Look for ways to create more value than you’re … Continue reading →

Today we discuss the concept of the “High Cycle Approach” — a simple but powerful way to rethink how resources move through a homestead. Instead of using something once and tossing it, what if you could squeeze two, three, or even five productive uses out of it before it ever left your system? That’s what high cycle thinking is all about. It’s the opposite of the modern throwaway mindset, and it builds serious resilience. In this episode, I’ll walk you through real-world homestead examples where this kind of thinking turns waste into abundance, simplifies inputs, and stacks functions like crazy. … Continue reading →

The world is changing fast. The EU and the head of the ECB Christine Lagarde (who I call Euro Karen) have announced that the entire EU will be under a CBDC by fall. China basically already is and they also have a “social credit system” to control the population. Odds are if the EU doesn’t have a social credit score when the Central Bank Digital Euro drops they will soon after. Dark days indeed. Hold the phone though, what is going on in the US? The US government is adopting Bitcoin as an economic reserve, bringing Stable Coins under the … Continue reading →

Today we are going to look at producing meat and eggs on the homestead. This was something not so uncommon in America just half a century ago. In that time, the practice dwindled as people had smaller families, many small-town Americans moved to larger cities, and fiat money made meat cheap for a time. Over those five decades, though, the quality of our animal-based foods continuously declined while the cost skyrocketed. Even traditionally “cheap” meat cuts have become expensive today. Chicken wings, chuck roast, pork ribs, etc., used to be hidden gems of value. Today, they sell for what ribeye … Continue reading →

We’re constantly told who our enemies are—other nations, political opponents, or whoever the media demonizes today. But the real threats to our freedom and well-being aren’t across the ocean or in the opposite political party. They’re right here, embedded in the systems we rely on every day. In this episode, we break down 15 of the most dangerous institutions and power structures that manipulate, exploit, and control the public. From Big Food and Big Pharma keeping people sick to central banks devaluing wealth, from unelected bureaucracies writing laws to public sector unions protecting incompetence, the real enemies of the people … Continue reading →

Most people come to permaculture because of a desire to produce their own food and it is to be fair a huge part of the discipline. In fact people often say that permaculture is a system of “permanent agriculture”. This is understandable as even the founders have on occasion said such things or at least things you can interpret this way. The key though is to understand that when David Holmgren and Bill Mollison created this system, it didn’t exist. While obvious it is the kind of thing we tend to gloss over. When they began and wrote Permaculture One it did indeed focus almost exclusively … Continue reading →

The world is in desperate need of a true “green revolution” but it won’t and can’t come from government. We won’t get it done by mandating anything or taxing the air you exhale. All of these state level actions consist of pipe dreams and lies. Worse though is they are an absolute excuse by those who claim to care the most for individual inaction. Just another version of “tax the rich”. Today we look at what a true “green society” might look like if everyone did just a little bit to see to their own needs in their own back … Continue reading →

Bitcoin arguments get weird fast. Proponents say never spend it, but imagine saying, “Never spend your money.” Others insist you must spend it to help it gain acceptance—would you ever say, “You have to spend YOUR MONEY to make it legitimate?” Meanwhile, critics call it volatile while ignoring that the dollar has lost 99% of its value. The confusion vanishes when you strip away the hype and just call Bitcoin what it is: money. In this episode, I break down the nonsense from both sides, showing how many so-called debates fall apart the moment you apply the same logic to … Continue reading →

Today we dive into a topic that starts simple but quickly becomes a full-blown red pill moment—raising chickens and producing your own eggs. At first, it seems like an innocent step toward self-sufficiency. Get a few birds, collect some eggs, enjoy better food. But before you know it, you’re staring straight into the cracks of the system. You realize grocery store eggs are garbage, regulations exist just to control you, and suddenly, you’re bartering with neighbors, dodging stupid local ordinances, and questioning everything you thought you knew about food, supply chains, and independence. We’ll break down why eggs are the … Continue reading →

Tune in today to hear a conversation about taxes that won’t turn into a political shouting match. We all know taxes exist, but what most people never learn—especially in school—is how they’re designed to influence behavior. Governments don’t just collect taxes to fund things; they use them to push people toward certain choices and away from others. Whether it’s income, property, or sales taxes, each one quietly shapes the way we work, spend, invest, and even live. Yet, hardly anyone stops to think about how these forces impact their own lives. In this episode, we break down the real incentives … Continue reading →

From strategic engagement with fiat to knowing when and how to bend rules legally, today’s discussion is about operating … Continue reading →
