roughrider_cost_of_energyThis is a very thought provoking episode, done by a guest host. You might know him as Roughrider Fan from the CanadaPrepared.com forums.

I put out the call to have some guest podcasts done, as I am very busy trying to get ready to do the challenge exams for the first and second year of my Instrumentation apprenticeship. Roughrider grabbed that by the brass ring and ran with it. Wow. Seriously, this is possible the best thought out and most concise podcast yet.

What I’d like to see is what our other members have in them. I know they’re mostly very well informed and educated – much moreso than myself. Come on folks! I’ll tutor you on the task and do the editing.

I also want to call attention to our first full-fledged sponsor – SafeCastle Royal. In the US, they operate on a very large scale with quality products and competitive prices. They now offer Mountain House freeze-dried, long term storage, foods in Canada! They are shipping from Ontario and can have your order to you in 24 to 48 hours. Now that’s service!

Normally, I would have asked for the opinions of our regular forum members before taking a sponsor, however SafeCastle Royal has been a long time sponsor of Jack Spirko’s TheSurvivalPodcast.com that I didn’t feel it was necessary. Good enough for Jack and the Moderators at his site, is good enough for me. I’ve had freeze dried foods before and you won’t believe how good it really is! Or maybe you will. Ideally, you’ll put down your own food and use different long term storage methods, and this is a great supplement to those supplies.

canadian_moneyNotice the title says Earning not Making Money Online. Why? Because if you make money online, you will have earned it. There is no easy money. So, what does this have to do with preparedness and emergency planning? Well, debt reduction and creating an emergency fund are two things that come to mind. I’m sure you’ll think of something to do with the extra scratch.

There is no hype, no paid advertising in this podcast. It all comes from personal experience. I don’t make much online, but I make more than if I sat on my bum watching hockey. You can too!
