What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve listened to Jack’s show for a few years now. Discovered it when he was interviewed on Radical Personal Finance. I’ve found so many nuggets of wisdom to improve my life. He brings on other interesting people who also think outside the box and are making things happen in their lives I’d highly recommend you give it a try.

Jpipercub · Sep 2020

This show covers a wide variety of topics, and focuses on practical topics for preparedness in our modern world, rather than focusing on extremely rare doomsday events with low likelihood of occurrence. Whether it’s an episode with just Jack, a guest interview, or an expert counsel session, you’re bound to walk away with some new ideas.

OwenITGuy · Sep 2020

Jacks a knowledgeable guy and shares quality useful info. He can be a little opinionated and intense at times but I feel this is just a result of his passion for the subject matter. Been a loyal listener since I moved 70 minutes from work in 2010 and needed something to listen to on my commute. I’ve employed many of the techniques he’s taught in my gardens and small backyard orchard. Thanks Jack and guests!

ACT10MA · Jun 2020

If you are looking for doomsday prepping stuff, this is not the place. This show is for being prepared for life and all the twists and turns that come with it. It’s all the advice my grandparents tried to give me when I was younger. Like Jacks tag line says.... being prepared when things go bad and even when they don’t.

FXSTB_RIDER · Apr 2020

This podcast is full of a lot diverse and useful knowledge. I personally have learned and used some of the information you can get from listening. The caveat is that a lot of opinions Jack has can be either dated or wrong. Don’t get me wrong, he is also spot on about a number of subjects and topics. The long short of it is to take it all with a grain of salt
