Big News! 🚨 Bobbie, owner of Parrs Jars is going to be a guest on the long-standing show #TheSurvivalPodcast on November 29 at 12pm CST about Using Local Food as a Tool to Empower Your Community. Bobbie has been an avid listener since 2011 and is thrilled to get the opportunity to speak to the legendary modern survival teacher #JackSpirko. Jack Spirko is the host of The Survival Podcast.  The show has been running since 2008 and now has over 3,000 episodes available on all aspects of self-sufficiency, self-reliance, independence and personal liberty. Spirko calls himself a Modern Survivalist and claims to have coined the phrase. His assertion is that all humans are at their core survivalists, as they all seek to survive.  Modern Survivalism differs from the conventional concept of survivalism in that it does not turn away from modern technology, rather it simply seeks to create redundancies for when technology fails. Additionally modern survivalism is very broad including aspects of homesteading, investing, economics, debt elimination, individual sovereignty, permaculture along with traditional survivalist concepts like primitive skills and military tactics. Spirko has been called the face of the modern survival movement by media personality Judge Andrew Napalatono and has been featured in a variety of media including Fox News, The Glenn Beck Show and The Houston Chronicle.

I’m on local cable this morning about food production/food system efforts. I don’t have cable at home but I’m coming off a night shift and they do. I turned the channel to it and my client yells NO NO NO, that’s junk, I don’t watch junk—find kung fu! 😂

I’ve been MIA from all things internet lately, I’ve barely even listened to podcasts for the first time in 10 years. I’ve been busy with two jobs, a homestead and a business. We’ve gotten 20 chickens. Gardens are in action. Yard is finally coming together. Rooms are getting organized post baby-toddler madness. Production workshop we built has been rented by the co-op I helped found. My hard work as a volunteer to found this food co-op has turned into a paid coordination contract. They offered me $15 EXTRA/hr, highest wage I’ve ever had, to work remotely most days. I get to learn from an awesome partner organization. I still run my business and am improving digital mechanisms and labelling my product line for store shelves. I love my nights position working with people with disabilities in their homes. I help people and get a pay check to sleep. My kids are happy and we have an ECE sitter who comes to the homestead 3days per week. We’ve been camping a lot close to home to keep my hubby happy, he’s been helping with all this and was starting to get tired of no down time. Its all coming together nicely but hasn’t been without effort every waking moment for 3 years. Really looking forward to the times ahead. ❤️

Since 2020, I have been genuinely grateful to be part of an extraordinary circle of friends who share a common vision of life. Covid lunacy had disrupted the way we live and learn, but it brought us together through homeschooling. As society continues to evolve, we have managed to support and motivate one another to face these challenges courageously. Just yesterday, I reconnected with an old acquaintance, someone I had been bumping into quite frequently lately. I noticed he was grappling with some significant issues in his life. When he confided in me that he had decided to homeschool his children as part of the changes in his life, I knew exactly what to do. Recognizing the perfect opportunity to introduce him to my support network, I invited him to my husband's birthday campout the next day. There, he would have a chance to meet some of the homeschoolers who had become an integral part of our lives. The timing couldn't have been more impeccable. The friend arrived, having built an impressive e-bike from an old trampoline, and with a fireworks business on the side – something that one of the kids in our homeschooling group absolutely adores. During the campout, I expressed my gratitude for the bonds forged within our group during this extraordinary time. He confided that he had felt alone in his thoughts and struggles, and he seemed genuinely grateful to find kindred spirits who shared his experience. Today was a genuinely good day. By extending our circle of friendship and support, I believe we have made a lasting impact on someone's life, and that's a feeling that's hard to beat.

I lost all my 2014-2017 crypto (Bitcoin, Bitcoin cash, ethereum) in the Quadriga CX fiasco. Just settled —13c to the dollar is what I’m getting…of 2017 Bitcoin prices. Eight instalments of $118.50… 🔑🔑🔑#hardlessons #notyourkeysnotyourcrypto

Who here is on the #homeschool train? What kind of methods/curriculums do you use?

Look at the seals’ face. #grownostr #hilarious

Made a post about freeze dried steak if you’re into that sort of thing. #keto #prepping http://parrsjars.com/2023/05/16/freeze-dried-steak/
