David Kershner

Today I’m joined by Author David Kershner. David has written the Foreign and Domestic book series. David takes a unique take on a societal collapse. I’ve not seen authors cover the collapse of the food system before. The food system is one of my main concerns. Both in availability and quality.

The overarching theme in Part ,When Rome Stumbles, deals with the downfall of America’s food system. Government malfeasance and corporate corruption is what breaks the food system finally. Hannibal is at the Gates brings about our financial collapse as our former colonial adversaries, along with major US debt owners, orchestrate a financial coup. His most recent effort, By the Dawn’s Early Light, but now introduces a HANE/EMP to complicate matters. He is currently writing Part IV, Colder Weather.

We talk about The food system quiet a lot. being something we are both very passionate about. We get off on some tangents and getting David reeled in was an effort but it was a great chat. Consider checking out David’s highly rated books. I hear I may be getting killed off in the next one. Which is a dream of mine.

Jeff Nimoy On Paleo

This week Mike and I are Joined by Jeff Nimoy. He is an Emmy Award winning actor/writer/director/producer. Jeff runs both the cooking caveman blog and the dating site SamePlate.

I came across Jeff’s blog years ago when I was first looking for an easy Paleo Bread recipe. As mentioned before I’m a terrible baker. So all my previous attempts had been failures. Jeff’s recipe was so easy a caveman could do it. While on his site I read his bio. That’s when I noticed he did a voice in one of my favorite Animes. TriGun as Wolfwood.

On top of creating great recipes Jeff created SamePlate. Sameplate reviewed by me here. Sameplate matches couples based on what they do or do not eat. You can find paleo, vegan, gluten-free or even another pizza addict. Which is either very important to you or not at all. I like the idea of finding someone concerned about what they eat. For others it could be a matter of life or death with food allergies. So if you are single go sign up.

We talk about what Paleo means to Jeff. Why he decided to go paleo. His best and worst paleo creations and much more.

As always please leave us ITunes Feedback if you dig the show.

Off Grid Project

Today We are joined by Gary Collins of the Primal Power Method. This time Gary stops by to talk about his off grid project. Gary decided that to live a simpler life he had to leave California and build an Off grid house.

We get to hear about how Gary was able to find his land. Why asking always pays off. We learn the pros and cons of hiring a Green contactor. Gary used Faswall brick for his construction and talks about how it is working with it.

Gary and I discuss the similarities and differences of our two builds. Gary being 100% off grid and me being simi off grid. We talk about septic tank vs composting toilet.

We have a good chat about off grid internet solutions. Discussing what we both are doing. I also mention a technology using the now abandoned Analog TV signals. This is called white space and is slowly growing. It could be the best future solution for rural areas.

We hear about some issues Gary had with intruders. Gary Shares some of his off grid project security methods. I know many of us are concerned about security and he has some good ideas.

Gary mentions a new book detailing the process to avoid his mistakes. As soon as it is available I’ll let youse guys know.

Also I’m having Gary Back later this month to talk about advanced paleo questions if you have one let me know.

Skytech Laser Pointer Review

Skytech Laser

I got a Skytech Laser, a high powered blue laser pointer, to play with recently. Which almost didn’t happen. Recently I began checking my spam filter daily because I have it set pretty strict. While going through It one email caught my eye. It was a Skytech rep offering a laser for review. I absolutely want a laser to play with. To be honest I was pretty upset with the spam filter.

Skytech lasers thought, correctly, that lasers can have a few uses for survival. They also mentioned that some lasers can start fires. My mind jumped to pyromaniac dreams and I quickly replied. This laser sadly does not burn stuff. I tried really hard too. Even on the highest setting and using a fresnel lense.

No burning but there are still many uses to be had with this laser pointer. I have had fun testing this. So has Bjorn the Cat. He loves it. His resume now includes catching the blue dot.

Lets get into some survival uses for lasers.

RZ Mask Premium Breathing Protection Review

RZ Mask Premium Breathing Protection Review

Today I’ll be reviewing the RZ Mask Premium Breathing Protection. I generally hate to wear breathing protection masks. Especially those cheap paper ones. You know the ones with the rubber band type attachment. They fit terribly. If you breathe too hard you push it off. The metal nose piece is always either too snug or too loose. Then It might cut you.

Not to mention that you’re just re-breathing the same stale air. With all that said it’s no wonder I never wore them. Last year when I was insulating the tiny house I went without breathing protection. I also spent the next few weeks coughing up a lung.

If only There was a better solution. With The RZ Mask from RZ Industries there is.
