After yesterday’s closing segment I started thinking about what people should grow if they really need to grow food.  More what people with average sized yards can grow and how they should be growing it for real needs, not just the nice to have garden many of us maintain. The crops here can all be grown on small patches of land and they are either very high value in either a monetary or caloric way.  In other words potatoes might be cheap but they actually feed you.  Baby greens and herbs may be low in calories but by the pound … Continue reading →

The Dawn of Everything – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by 2

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use, or that has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the Day is The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Graeber & David Wengrow. This book challenges everything we have been taught about how society formed. By this I mean the concept that we were all just innocent hunter gatherers with nothing approaching a real civilization until we started plowing fields. And this book doesn’t just challenge that concept, it … Continue reading →

Today is an episode of Friday Fusions, a series that combines my direction and source selection with the virtual AI hosts in Google Gemini Notebook. I choose the topic, assemble the source material and give the AI specific instructions on how to approach it. The virtual hosts then turn that information into a conversation. These Friday episodes let me bring you additional content while continuing to produce the four regular TSPC episodes I host each week. AI can make mistakes, mispronounce words or occasionally state something with more confidence than accuracy, so verify anything important before acting on it. The … Continue reading →

Today we are joined by Robin Greenfield to discuss what it actually takes to forage 100% of your food and medicine for an entire year. No grocery stores, no restaurants and not even a garden to fall back on. Robin is living entirely from what he can harvest from the land and water, using wild plants, fish, wild rice, mushrooms, road killed deer and other locally available foods to sustain himself. This is not some weekend stunt either. It is the result of more than a decade spent building the knowledge and skills required to even attempt something like this. … Continue reading →

Here’s the cleaned up version. I kept your meaning, structure, and voice intact, and only fixed grammar, typos, punctuation, and clunky phrasing. We as humans owe a great deal to technology. If I think back to when I was a senior in high school in 1989, so many things I take for granted today simply did not exist. Today, if I need a ride, I can use Uber or Lyft and do so in just about any town with a few thousand people. When I was a kid, if my car was not available, I had to bum a ride … Continue reading →
