Gun and Hunting Wisdom of our Fathers – TSP Rewind – Epi-320
1w ago01:31:09Tap to summarizeIn this episode from 2015 we talked about guns today, but a bit differently then you might expect from a “survival podcast” to do. No ARs, no concealed carry and no ninja like accessories. No today I want to tell you about the gun wisdom I learned at the hands of my grandfather and father as a young man. The stories, lessons and realities that made me love guns as the tools they truly are. You may be shocked to learn I didn’t grow up hearing much about the 2nd amendment or gun rights. Where I grew up boys hunted … Continue reading →

1w ago01:21:18Tap to summarizeI did this episode back in 2012 when I stated I wanted to do some more shows on firearms topics I was flooded with emails by new shooters that all basically said some version of this… “Jack can you do a very basics style show that explains what all these calibers and rounds mean. Sometimes when you are talking about a firearms subject I am fine then you start saying something like the 38 special is 35 caliber and I just don’t get it. Or that a 40 S&W is equivalent to a 10mm in a carbine. None of this … Continue reading →

1w ago00:59:07Tap to summarizeWhen I did this episode back in 22012 ut was because I got a ton of emails on an article called. 8 Personal Finance Lessons from Benjamin Franklin that was published on the very cool blog, The Art of Manliness. Several dozen of you told me that this article sounded like 8 things I say often on TSP. So rather than read the article at all I decided to do the show based just on the 8 tenets of Franklin and see how much in sync we really are or are not. One thing for sure old Ben’s advice seems … Continue reading →

Brad is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of twenty six thrillers, with a career built on taking real world threats, intelligence failures, terrorism, geopolitics and national security blind spots, then turning them into fiction that feels a little too close to tomorrow’s headlines. This is not just a conversation about a new book. Brad has served as a member of the Department of Homeland Security’s Analytic Red Cell Unit, lectured law enforcement on future threats, and even shadowed a Black Ops team in Afghanistan … Continue reading →

Transcribe →Homesteading, Mars and the Future of Freedom – 3852
2w ago01:59:23Tap to summarizeToday we are joined by Travis J. I. Corcoran to talk about what it really takes to build a life, a homestead, or even a full settlement when there is no big system coming to save you. This is about food, repair, local production, trade, family, community and the real limits that show up when theory runs face first into reality. Travis and his wife walked away from lucrative tech careers in Massachusetts and built a more self reliant life in New Hampshire. That experience led him to write Escape the City, a practical homesteading guide based on what actually … Continue reading →

2w ago01:35:25Tap to summarizeThere are two types of people who create content especially in the freedom, liberty and preparedness space. There are those that tell you what you want to be told for the purpose of getting you to listen to them. Some of these people even end up believing their own bullshit. The second type is those who tell you the truth even if it upsets you and makes you want to not listen to them. I try to always be the second kind even when I am telling you things I do not want to be true. For many years I … Continue reading →

3w ago00:08:33Tap to summarizeTSPC will return tomorrow, I take this day off with my family like most of America and I leave you with these thoughts on this day. Today is Memorial Day and I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone today of what Memorial Day is really all about. Many well meaning people even get it wrong in a way. My inbox tends to fill up with “thanks for your service” emails around Memorial Day. I appreciate it, there is nothing wrong with thanking a vet today, yet it is not really the day to thank vets many seem to … Continue reading →

Transcribe →Permaculture for the Long Emergency – Epi-3849
3w ago01:33:44Tap to summarizeToday we are joined by Daniel Halsey to discuss what real collapse preparation looks like when you move past the fantasy version. This is not about knives, guns, bug out bags, or trapping rabbits. It is about the social side of long term disruption, the bad assumptions people carry into community living, and what actually has to be designed before people can thrive through hard times instead of just surviving the first wave of them. Daniel has spent about 20 years as a permaculture and ecological designer, working across the United States and internationally. His work has put him in … Continue reading →
