Restoring Our Humanity

Ep. 20 What's on your plate? Diet and Nutrition

Today we talk about what we are eating and where it is coming from?  Are you eating the standard american table fare?  Heavy in carbs, and containing beef, pork, or chicken?  What about all of the wondrous meat and fish from around the world?

Have you ever had fresh oysters?  Venison back strap?  Elk tenderloin?  We go over these today, and how you can prepare an amazing meal for your family this thanksgiving.  Stay tuned.

Ep. 19 Why are we so alone?- Politics and Philosophy

In the most connected world that has ever existed in time and space, why are we so alone?  

Why do we not know our neighbors?  Why do they not know us?

IF times get tough, we need our communities...  Whether it is a subdivision, an apartment complex, condos, or 80 acre ranches...  We need to do more to gain a social network within our individual communities.  What have you done today?

Ep. 18 What the hell are we doing? Survival & Preparedness

I  have been on a hiatus helping a friend restore a truck and finding some new bearings based on the path our country is heading toward.  

As I have said before, I am neither a D or an R.  But what we are witnessing now, is a new chapter in history.  Most likely it will not be a good one.  

What happened to reason, logic, and Common sense?  What happened to humanity?

Ep. 17 As a society, do we value human life? History & the Future

As a society, do we value human life?  Why or why not?  Are these mass shootings and bombings a legal issure, or a symptom of a much bigger problem?

Today we talk about whether or not the world still values human life, and at what level?  

Are these shootings something that can be legislated away with legal framework, or there something much deeper beginning to show itself?  Supposing that is true, what does the future look like, and what happened in the past when it did happen?

Ep. 16 Why do we hunt and fish? Who should be hunting and fishing?

Why do humans hunt and fish? 

Is there some innate human connection to hunting and fishing passed down through our ancestors?  Besides putting food on your table, and providing for our families, what is the reason humans love to hunt and fish?

Who should be hunting and fishing?  Do you know HOW to hunt and fish? Have you learned with someone practicing good hunting and fishing etiquette?

More importantly: What is the carrying capacity of the animals and hunters in your area?  How many animals can we safely hunt each year?

Ep. 15 What skills do you want to learn? Why? - Skill Sets

What skills do you want to learn?  Why?

What else are we missing in our daily lives?  What else have we missed in life?  By learning a new skill can you and your family become closer?

Is a human meant to only know one or two skills?  Or are we all meant to be a Renaissance Man/Woman?

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

-Robert A. Heinlein

Ep. 14 Are you growing your own food? Do you want to? Gardening and Agriculture

Are you growing your own food? 

Do you want to?

Today we cover the basics: How much room do you have?  What do you want to grow?  Will you be including an animal protein source?  What is permaculture?  What is a forest garden?  How much time and effort are you going to devote to growing food?

How do we effectively manage a pasture?  What species of plants will you have in your pasture?  

What happens when we use a polyculture for a pasture, and for a garden vs a monoculture..

Also: I meant to say predatory insects, but kept saying parasitic.(I kept thinking about the parasitic wasp)
