I received an email recently with the subject “Why Milk is essential to Stock up on for emergencies”. I knew I would be writing about that. I saved the email to read later. I disagreed with the premise that you must store milk. I don’t believe it is essential nor healthy. I later opened the email to see if I could be persuaded. It was one tiny paragraph. Summarized as Milk has protein and you need protein. Mostly they were trying to sell non fat powdered milk. Nope not interested in storing milk. Now that we have that out of the way let’s dig into why you shouldn’t bother storing milk.
Today I go to work for the last time. I’m Leaving Corporate America. Year of hard work, preparation and some luck have paid off. Finally I will escape the daily grind and work for myself. No more missing life because I have to work. No more missing out on family events. Now I might have time to think about starting a family before I’m an old man. No more apartment life. Now more stealing neighbors. No more problems getting UPS deliveries. No more easy, sure life. I’m trading it all in for the hard life of a homesteader. I couldn’t be happier. Or more scared. That’s how I know it’s right. I’ll stop teasing you and tell you what’s going on.
Eating Bugs For Survival and fun. We have all heard about eating them in an emergency situation. Could you? I know I can. I’ve eaten insects on several occasions. Mostly sober. Barbecue flavored meal worms. Battered and deep fried grasshopper. A moth with mustard once. Ants. I think I ate a scorpion once. So not just for survival. I don’t have any hang-ups on it. I’m even thinking about incorporating them on my homestead. I love the permaculture saying “The Problem is the solution”. Are insects eating your crops? Eat them. Today let’s look at a few options out there.
Mike gets interviews on Prepper Recon. James gets injured at crossfit. Meeting Mountain From the Primal Professional. The guys talk about Congress moving to end the prohibition of raw milk. What Steps do preppers overlook? The main topic of the day is on Apocalyptic fiction and lessons learned from them. Punk Gadget of the week is the Buck Hoodlum. Nutrition Punk of the day is Gluten free is a lifestyle not a product. The permaculture minute is Fungi. The wild edible of the week is sassafras.
Even though I am a self proclaimed anarchist I give props where there are deserved. This week I get to congratulate the gov on finally trying to remove raw milk Prohibition. It’s a ignorant law that doesn’t need to be there. I understand and accept any risk in the foods I eat.
This week James and Mike discuss some of their favorite apocalyptic movies. Not surprisingly zombies eat up the majority of the list. We talk about what is good about the movies. What’s bad in them. We also cover what lessons if any are to be had in them. Apocalyptic fiction is what lured me down the rabbit hole of survival. I like the way your mind goes to what would you do in those situations. How would you handle the threats. Some movies in the apocalyptic fiction world teach better than others. In the end James and Mike wholeheartedly disagree on the last movie. I hate the movie as an abomination. Mike thinks it’s a great movie. Who’s right?

Have you heard about Fox’s new reality show Utopia? The premise is to take 14 “pioneers” and have them create utopia. They are given 5 acres of land with a few resources. There are some cows and chickens. Land to farm on. A lake and a waterfall. A barn to live in. No toilets and no power. They group is very diverse. So how did they choose to spend their first few days in Utopia? What were their priorities? What did I think about the first episode? Oh let me tell you.
