    Say, you’re.. anti-authoritarian in theory, but pro-authoritarian as far as the present, (maga) authority controls us… this is the guy for you.

    Tons of useful info, pro-fash commentary, and occasional weird crypto investments to boot.

    I would never say anyone should “stick with” one subject and not another, but: if you want some legit info, you’ll have to either weed through intentionally naive patriot ideology… or only listen to pre 2016 recordings.

  • After 14 years, too far gone.

    I finally unfollowed The Survival Podcast after listening for 14 years. There used to be a lot of shows about permaculture, homesteading, and actual survival skills. Now, there are more and more “current events” shows, and they all turn into unhinged MAGA rants. He bashes politicians that he does not agree with, but instantly loses credibility when he mispronounces their names. How can you claim to know enough about someone when you won’t even take the time to learn their names? It just comes of... more

    Been listening on and off for a few years. I enjoyed the homesteading and lifestyle design however he loves GOP even if he thinks he’s not. He agrees with almost all of there policies and takes “owning the libs” over everything. He also claims he was right about everything all the time. I miss the old days of the permaculture pod.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Not to Die in a Wildfire – Epi-3902
Q: Bitcoin is down; would you recommend starting a business in 2026 over stacking SATs with a W2 job?
No—the decision to start a business should be based on your own desires and readiness, not external market conditions; entrepreneurship is about building an income engine and creating a long-term path, not chasing investment trends.
Expert Council Q&A – Epi-3894
Q: Is Trump serious about Iran rising up against its government, and what could that mean for the IRGC and regional stability?
The discussion framed this as a complex mix of rhetoric, risk, and real-world constraints, with host and guests emphasizing the uncertain outcomes and the likelihood that external intervention could backfire or escalate tensions.
Expert Council Q&A – Episode – 3886
Q: What are one or two large mistakes to avoid while trying to build community?
The speaker argues the biggest mistake is assuming you are the builder of the community; instead, you should be the spark and empower others to take on roles, while avoiding possessiveness and control that stifle organic growth.
Dehydrating for The Everyday Person – Epi-3884
Q: Can I dehydrate microgreens that would normally be frozen or freeze-dried, and would they still have flavor when ground into powder?
You absolutely can; microgreens dehydrate well into powders that can flavor yogurts, cheeses, or soups, though they won't resemble fresh greens when used as whole ingredients.
Dehydrating for The Everyday Person – Epi-3884
Q: Dehydrators are great for bringing honey back to life when it crystallizes; is that a recommended use?
Yes, at a relatively low temperature (around 120 degrees) to gently melt the crystals without overheating the honey, avoiding damage to flavor or quality.
