Main content of the show
John Bush is a radical activist, entrepreneur, and father of two based in Austin, TX. Since 2002 he has worked tirelessly to create a more free and peaceful world through political activism and the promotion of alternative institutions. He is a proponent of health freedom and operates Brave Botanicals which offers kratom and CBD. In 2015 he laid out his vision for Freedom Cells, small mutual aid groups networked with other cells to achieve common goals and secure the sovereignty of group members. The Freedom Cell Network has since grown to over 2,200 people globally and hopes to one day replace the state as a means of social organization.

Today, I will run through some things I never knew about fencing that I learned this weekend as friends Autofab and the Tactical Redneck were stretching fence for Jenni.

Main topic of the Show: New Lessons Learned From Fencing
BG of fencing over the past year or so
Lessons
- It is a better two person project, (Turkey netting story)
- Logging = “Stretching fence” (BC Story) – related, proper stretching tools are helpful
- Electric fence is great, until it isn’t (The water story)
- Ongoing maintenance never ends unless you find an animal to do it for you (Pig story)
- Fencing will be tested most if you do not manage your rotation well enough (Animals, hills, etc)
All in all, it has been pretty eventful here with the fencing, the animals and the transition to increased food production off my small, 3 acre plot of hilly land with just the right amount of southern exposure.
Make it a great week!

Today, I share four normal things on the homestead that some outsiders view as oddball actions.
Freedomcell Activation tour is coming to Kentucky Oct 14.
Stump the Sauce
From Joshua of Ganderflight: How do I prep if I am living in a 28 foot RV and moving around the country with my family?
Main topic of the Show: Four Normal Things on the Homestead that Seem Odd
- We try to use up everything – Introducing the BONE BAG
- We discuss slaughter over dinner
- Rolling leftovers are not only a thing – it is with pride that we find many ways to “roll” (homemade is usually preferred over restaurant foods)
- Baby livestock ends up inside – this could mean pigs, chicks, rabbits, goats — just about anything
Make it a great week!

Today I am joined by someone we have heard several times on the podcast, Sue Zoldak. Usually she comes on to talk with us about entrepreneurship or marketing. But today, Sue joins us to share something a bit more personal – her leap into homeschooling for her high school-aged daughter.
Today I share with you some things that change you after you have lived the homesteading lifestyle for awhile. Four big things in fact.
