Making Money on a Homestead and Online Part 1 | Episode 336
Turning your homestead into a source of income is a dream for many, but it’s not always as simple as it seems. In this two-part series, we’ll explore how to make money both on and off the homestead. Today’s episode focuses on starting small and finding what works for you.
The Common Starting Points
Many homesteaders take the same first steps—selling soap, salves, and chicken eggs. While these can be great products, the market is often oversaturated. If you love making soap or your chickens are prolific layers, go for it! Just know it might not be the goldmine you hope for unless you find a unique angle, like specialty ingredients or local farm markets with limited competition.
Lean Into Your Strengths
One key to success is finding what you’re good at or enjoy doing and building from there. Are you great with woodworking? Sell custom furniture or smaller craft items. Have a knack for gardening? Start a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) or grow high-demand niche crops. By leaning into your strengths, you’ll not only enjoy the work but also increase your chances of success.
Take Every Form of Payment
A critical part of selling is taking every form of payment possible. From cash to cards and even mobile payment apps, the more convenient you make it for your customers, the better. Modern payment options can be especially valuable at local markets or roadside stands.
The Value of Mechanic Work
Don’t underestimate the value of mechanic work. If you’re handy with tools and know how to repair equipment, this skill can be a major moneymaker. From fixing lawnmowers to farm machinery, there’s always demand for a reliable mechanic in rural areas.

Canning Confidence: Don’t Let Fear Ruin Your Pantry | Episode 335
In a Facebook group post, a man shared how comments from a canning discussion left him so alarmed that he considered throwing away all his home-canned goods and dedicating a year to learning from scratch. While caution is good, this story highlights the unnecessary fear that can arise when tackling home canning. Let’s debunk the myths and build some confidence in the process.
FDA Canners vs. Rebel Canners
In the world of canning, there’s often a divide between those who strictly follow FDA guidelines and those who embrace “rebel canning.” FDA canners meticulously stick to approved recipes and methods to ensure safety, while rebel canners may experiment with non-traditional techniques or recipes. Both approaches have their merits, but it’s essential to understand the risks and science behind what you’re doing. If you’re just starting out, stick to trusted resources like the Ball Blue Book or the National Center for Home Food Preservation until you gain confidence.
Trying Your Best Is Good Enough
The thought of botulism or spoiled food can be intimidating, but the reality is that by following basic safety principles, canning is not as hard—or as risky—as it may seem. Sterilize your jars, use proper processing times, and don’t skip essential steps like acidifying tomatoes when required. Remember, millions of people safely can food every year.
Just Start
Canning doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a good book and a bit of preparation, you can start building your pantry. Begin with simple recipes like jams or high-acid fruits that require water bath canning. Gradually, you can explore pressure canning for low-acid foods.
Home canning is a skill worth learning, and it’s incredibly satisfying to preserve your own food. Don’t let fear paralyze you—take the first step and enjoy the journey!

California Wildfires | Episode 334
The Palisades wildfire has drawn significant attention as it rages through the iconic hills of California. Its impact serves as a stark reminder of the challenges wildfires pose, particularly in densely populated and environmentally sensitive areas.
Facts About the Palisades FireLocated in a region known for its rugged terrain and high-value real estate, the Palisades fire began recently, with investigations pointing to possible human causes, including arson. The blaze has prompted evacuations, destroyed property, and severely impacted air quality. Firefighters face significant challenges containing the fire due to steep hills and dense vegetation.
Preparedness Tips for Wildfire SeasonThis fire underscores the importance of wildfire readiness. Evacuation protocols like the “ready, set, go” system can save lives. Prepping a go-bag with essentials such as N95 masks, fire blankets, and water is critical. Homeowners in fire-prone areas should focus on defensible spaces, ember-resistant vents, and fire-retardant coatings to reduce risk.
Conspiracy Theories Circulating About the FireAs with many significant events, conspiracy theories have emerged. Some suggest the fire was intentionally set to devalue land for real estate speculation, while others believe it might be a cover-up for hidden activities in the area. Claims of media suppression regarding the fire’s cause also persist, though there’s no evidence to support such theories.
Broader ImplicationsThe Palisades fire is part of a troubling trend of increasing wildfire frequency and intensity in California. It highlights the need for improved prevention strategies, such as better forest management, stricter building codes, and more robust emergency responses. For preppers, it’s a reminder to stay vigilant and prepared, as disasters can strike unexpectedly.
This episode explores what the Palisades fire teaches us about surviving and thriving in the face of growing wildfire threats.

In Episode 323, Shelby breaks down the colossal failures that have wiped out California’s coastal community, Pacific Palisades. Shelby continues in the After Show talking about what we have to do as preppers to be ready for urban fires, which is available exclusively to Patreon supporters.

Lessons from Historical Disasters| episode 323
History is rich with lessons from disasters, showing us what it takes to endure the worst situations. Survivors of events like hurricanes, wars, and economic collapses often share common factors that contributed to their survival.
Preparedness and Resource Management
From the Great Depression to World War II, those who managed resources effectively often fared better. During the Great Depression, families with home gardens and stored food were better equipped to weather food shortages. Similarly, rationing during WWII ensured that essentials like sugar and fuel were stretched to meet needs.
Adaptability and Ingenuity
Survivors often adapted to their circumstances in creative ways. During the Dust Bowl, farmers implemented soil-saving techniques like crop rotation and contour plowing. After Hurricane Katrina, survivors repurposed household items, using coolers as flotation devices or water storage. Flexibility in the face of adversity is key.
Community Support and Collaboration
No one survives alone. In disasters like Hurricane Harvey, the “Cajun Navy” demonstrated how volunteer efforts save lives. During Canada’s 1998 Ice Storm, neighbors shared resources, such as firewood and food, ensuring more people survived the harsh conditions.
Knowledge and Skills
Practical knowledge saves lives. Indigenous tribes in the Indian Ocean recognized the signs of a tsunami in 2004 and evacuated to higher ground. Similarly, during New York’s 1977 blackout, people who knew how to safely use candles and manual tools were less vulnerable.
Mental and Emotional Resilience
Survivors often credit their mindset for their endurance. Holocaust survivors maintained hope and daily routines. The 33 Chilean miners trapped underground for 69 days stayed calm, organized roles, and rationed supplies to stay alive.
Learning from these historical lessons helps modern preppers strengthen their readiness for any challenge. Are you prepared?

In Episode 200, Dave starts the show by discussing the resignation of Canadian PM Justin Trudeau. Oh, happy days! After that, he turns his attention to the first steps the Trump administration plans to take to clean out the deep state rot in the NSC. Dave then provides an update on where some of the gold bars (billions in tax payer dollars) being thrown off the Titanic (EPA) landed and it’s not good… basically $50M went to a terrorist org masquerading as a climate change NGO. From there, he discusses SoCal getting the Maui treatment and all of the latest news and intel from this latest gov’t operation (tinfoil theory: destroy Diddy evidence). Dave closes the show with updates from the UK and the EU regarding the fact that reports are now being leaked about how various governments hid migrant sexual assault data. Articles discussed:
