The Survival Podcast with Jack Spirko. Episode-875- Rick Worden of Rise and Shine Rabbitry Rick Worden has promoting rabbits for homestead use and personally raising rabbits for 30 + years and feels every homestead should be raising rabbits due to their tremendous impact toward greater self sufficiency. Rick’s company is Rise and Shine Rabbitry a small rabbitry in Mechanic Falls, Maine. Their rabbits get premium care since they only raise a small number. All rabbits are kept in individual raised cages inside a hoop-house, in the barn and some hutches outside. Rabbits are shaded through the summer heat with shade cloth and kept warm and dry all winter while enjoying the company of a flock of silkies for bug control. Twice a day the rabbits have pasture plants and grasses and other homegrown produce scythed for them and served up fresh (in season), so even though the rabbits are not “pastured” they are still reaping the benefits of a nutritious and natural diet. Through the winter months the rabbits are fed hay and their diet is also supplemented year-round with a pelleted feed and root crops also an herbal hay mix the Wordens dry that and store for the winter rabbit “blahs”. Rick is also growing sprouts and experimenting with other homegrown foods to grow in their short season.

He also discusses the need for wills to avoid family tearing itself apart over physical assets. The need for long-term care planning and possible Medicaid planning. Along with the questions to ask a prospective estate planning legal firm to make sure you are making a good choice of legal services.

Episode-868- Wade Bowlin on Bug Out Vehicles Wades 5-Ton XM820 Wade Bowlin is a self described computer nerd, network engineer, business guy, gear head, gun nut, survival junkie and prepping maniac. He joins us today to discuss bug out vehicles (BOVs). Wade will talk to us about different ideas like: new vehicles, RVs, old vehicles, and most importantly military vehicles and trailers. Wades bug out location is approximately 1200 west of his current location so he has put a lot of thought into getting there and have come up with two solutions: Fast and agile or slow and tough. My personal choices are a 2010 Ford F-150 Raptor and a 1971 AM General XM820.

The Survival Podcast with Jack Spirko. Monday-Fridays @ 3:30pm Central 4:30 EST Episode-802- Permaculture Misconception vs. Reality I keep quite a few things set up on Google New Alerts. That is where you run a search for a term on Google News and ask them to send you an email when ever a given word or phrase pops up in the news. So as you might imagine I do this for terms like “pandemic”, “economic collapse”, “natural disaster” and many others related to the preparedness industry. I also have terms set up that are more on subjects connected to basic self sufficiency and homesteading. As you might imagine I include the term “permacuture”. The other day that alert sent me a link to an article called, “Traditional Farming in the Rain Forest”, it led to an article that was a scathing retort on permaculture calling it basically useless. The author gets almost every single part wrong. It wasn’t that we disagree mind you it was that his claims and assertions were simply 100% inaccurate. Despite this it has helped me to better understand many of the objections I hear about permaculture. Today I plan to discuss them and try to answer some of these objections, hopefully with a now better understanding of what the objection is really all about.

Monday-Fridays @ 3:30pm Central 4:30 EST Episode-789- A Progress Report from the Spirko Homestead Jack in overlooking his homestead 2009 - What was a dream is now a lifestyle. It’s Thanksgiving Week! Woot! Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday. Hang with my son, eat myself into a turkey coma with zero guilt, watch football, enjoy some scotch, watch football and snooze in front of a fire. Thanksgiving is a “man holiday”, if such a thing exists at all. Since this is such a great week, I wanted to keep things light and exciting so I figured it was a great time for a progress report on the Spirko Homestead instead of something heavy like a feedback show which always seems to have a lot of the economic mess in it. So tune in today and I am just going to shoot from the hip and tell you whats going on and where we are going next. For more information and Archives

The Survival Podcast #10 with Jack Spirko. Monday-Fridays @ 3:30pm Central 4:30 EST Episode-773- Paleoculture the Orginal Permaculture [ The American Bison was the Definition of "Sustainable Protein" So this week I have been thinking about the paleo lifestyle and how it would fit into a permaculture based system. Turn out I am not the first person to ask the question and the fit is quite natural. The last time I spoke on paleo living I brought a lot of the “homesteading components” into it, today I will try to do a bit more. Permaculture isn’t about growing plants and trees, that is one element to it, it is really a methodology for “whole system design”, encompassing all things for human existence. Some of these include as energy, housing, economy and capital, community and yes food. In fact this is why as a survivalist I am so attracted to permaculture, the word means “permanent culture”, in essence it is survivalism. When you talk about eating a mostly meat based diet (caloric intake) the first thing people often say is “well meat isn’t sustainable”. As our bodies are made of meat my response to such people would be simply, “if meat isn’t sustainable, humans aren’t sustainable”. The reality is in my view hunter-gathers were the first permaculturists. For more information and Archives

Today though they are all based on the economy and our economic future. I will warn you that today some of the material may be a bit deep, some hard to accept and a few times it may even sound a bit tin foil hat. The truth is that everything I will tell you today though is factual and will withstand any investigation you desire to put into it. My message today is basically we are about to go into a financial war, a war we can win but one with many causalities and one where many may very well fall. It is our choice as to how we fight this war, but no way around it the war is coming and it will surround us all. More Information and Archives

Monday-Fridays @ 3:30pm Central 4:30 EST Get the Song – What Have You Done Get "What Have You Done" at RevolutionRockAndRoll Greg Yows and I collaberated on this project. I played the song on a few episodes last week and we are now formally releasing it. You can get the song for free at Gregg’s site, Revolution Rock and Roll The song came about as Gregg and I were working on “The Revolution is You” for the TSP custom theme. I had an idea to write a song that started in the American Revolution, up through WWII and to our current day. Gregg took the song a little bit darker than I first imagined, in his words, “I didn’t want to do another sappy ballad that takes advantage of our troops”. After his first pass I added in the verse I call “the reckoning verse”, I felt the song needed a sense of justice at the end. The lyrics are below and again you can get the digitally mastered track for free at

Monday-Fridays @ 3:30pm Central 4:30 EST Episode-767- Winter is Coming Are You Ready Our Dog Blackie Enjoying what ended up being over 11 inches of Texas Snow So today for the first time when I took the dog for a walk in the early morning there was frost on the car and trucks. I actually put on my Carhart vs my windbreaker and even put my free (non coffee holding) hand in my pocket for a bit of warmth. Of course that means winter is on its way. Sure we have a few months of “fall” to go, at least in the south but this is the time of the year where things seem to accelerate. So in the tradition of the ant and the grasshopper today I say, winter is coming, are you ready? If not let’s talk about getting there. My hope is that this show will make each listener consider and shore up just one or two places that they have put off or forgotten about in preparation for the coming winter. Some of these choices are about life and death and others are just about preserving some of the special times of the season, like family visiting during the holidays in relative comfort. Others may not save your life but may save you hundreds or thousands of dollars by preventing damage due to winter weather events.

Monday-Fridays at 3:00pm Central 4:00pm EST Episode-763- The Paleo Prepper Mindset Yesterday I did a post about my 18 month experience of eating mostly paleo and my final 90 days of doing it almost totally hard core. The responses are mixed, mostly anyone that has tried it is very much in agreement with me, those opposed are mostly rehashing dogma. So today we are going to discuss this subject, I will clarify myself on a few things (such as exercise) and explain some of the science. Mostly though I want to share my experience, my results and how as a prepper you address food storage when focusing on a “paleo” lifestyle. Join me today as I discuss… It isn’t a “diet” in our modern vocabulary It isn’t just meat and fat (my partial list of foods I eat) My epiphany on how to choose what I eat My results Beer and alcohol How I actually “exercise” How our ancestors exercised The many problems with modern exercise The reality that some must exercise in a more conventional way The problem with modern medical “wisdom” Why what you “believe” is irrelevant Why some people are “healthy” on food I consider unhealthy Why I believe fermented foods are ancient

Monday-Fridays at 3:00pm Central 4:00pm ESTEpisode-762- Tom Haile on Serving in the Peace Corps Tom Haile in Madagascar Tom is a Texas native growing up in Katy Texas. He doesn’t remember leaving Texas until being at least old enough to buy a beer. He started a career in software development in 2000 but tired of it and joined the Peace Corps in 2007. After returning in 2009 he continued a career of software development in Austin Texas. His experience as an environment volunteer in the third world has given him a new perspective on humanity. I think many people feel the Peace Corps is made up of nothing but peacenick hippies who want to escape reality for a few years before joining the corporate grind. While serving in Honduras in 1991 building roads as a solider in the US Army I knew several Peace Corps members. They lived in tougher conditions then I did, they had no way to defend themselves and were largely on the same mission, to help people in need. My hope is Tom’s experience will expand the listener’s mind today on what service in the Corps is really all about and how valuable it is in helping others and perhaps someday helping us right here at home during hard times. Join us today as we discuss… The three primary objectives of the Peace Corps What you get out of serving in the Corps

In reality it is only the illusions created by easy consumer level debt that has hidden the drop in class level over the past few decades. The coming downward class migration is more accurately a revealing of what has already occurred than something new. Join me today as I discuss… The inflation rate over the last 50 years How a surplus of “educated” people has eroded the value of an education Why almost all people with degrees used to be upper management and now are often receptionists The real value of a general labor construction income in 1973 How debt has created an illusion of prosperity during an onslaught of poverty How cities and counties are cutting costs today 9 American cites that are on the fast track to bankruptcy Harrisburg PA is bankrupt, how the state made it happen The cold hard facts about what is coming My challenge to you, do it on 70% for one month
