In this episode of our podcast, Dealing With Expired Food, we tackle a common household issue: what to do with food that’s past its expiration date. Many of us find ourselves looking at cans, boxes, and jars, wondering if they’re still safe to eat or if they should go straight to the trash. Here’s a simple guide to help you make the most out of your food and reduce waste.
Join me today as I discuss the nonsense of hiding your garden. This episode will not teach you how to hide your garden. It will teach you why that’s the wrong approach.
I came across this idea on Facebook. Some made a post about how is everyone going to hide their gardens when SHTF? So the roving biker gangs or whatever don’t steal their gardens.
The people saying this have never nor will ever grow a garden. They want an excuse to not have to grow one. Not to even mention that growing one now would save them money.
I get a bit heated in this episode. I feel like half the prepper community is fantastic amazing people. The other half have gone full retard and you never go full retard. It seems like their plan is a mixture of hiding in their homes 24/7 eating mres or using a mountain of ammo to rob people.
Both plans are stupid and full of holes. The solution to the problem of hiding your garden is community. Your entire community should be gardening and trading with each other.
Join me today as I discuss 5 Nonfiction Survival books to check out. I give a definitive one for some of the books; others are a category you need to fill.
When it comes to a straight Survival Book I don’t have an end-all-be-all pick. To be honest it doesn’t even matter which one you buy and you will most likely get more than one anyway. I talk about a few of my favorites. Cody Lunden’s books, Emergency by Neil Strauss, and a few others. All old books can probably be found in a used bookstore.
My number one most recommended nonfiction survival books is Back to Basics. This one book has so much information in it. If you wanted one book to rebuild society after a collapse I would recommend this one. It has everything you need from building a house to farming to canning and much more.
I talk about the great wild edibles book The Foragers Harvest by Samuel Thayer. This is an absolute must-have in my opinion.
Next is The Survival Medicine Handbook: The Essential Guide for When Help is NOT on the Way by Doc Bones and Nurse Amy. If you’re going to have only one medical book this should be it.
Join me today as I discuss prepping for events and why I don’t think you should. I do not think it is a good idea to focus on a specific event when you are prepping.
If you put all your effort into an event it is usually done in fear, and fear leads to dumb decisions. Events are usually always time based. So they have a deadline and come and go. If you focus on an event and it doesn’t happen you are likely to quit prepping when it doesn’t happen.
After Y2k there was a lot of survival gear up for sale. So it works out well for us. If you prepare to improve your quality of life regardless of events then you are better off whether something bad happens or not.
So do not prepare for any giant event prepare for life nad you won’t be disappointed.
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.
