103: Ungovernable Appalchia, Hubsteading and The Good Life with Smokey the Appalachistani
Smokey of the State of Appalachia Project joins B.R for a very based one on one chat about homesteading in America’s ungovernable blue mountains! The lads get into the culture of the region, acquiring property, functional vs ‘picture perfect’ homesteads, the amount of hours and labor Smokey and his wife (Deckers Ridge Homestead) put into their homestead daily and processing chickens for meat.
Smokey also explains his ‘Hubsteading’ concept, being realistic about what exactly to ‘prep’ for, the slow fall of ‘Rome’ and why American life and culture will outlive the era of the US Empire, the generational differences between how ‘neighborly’ people are, and the forgotten history of Blair Mountain and how ten thousand miners fought against US government machine gun nests and bombs dropped from aircraft on American soil.

100: Coach Mitch
Returning to the show one last time, our good friend and former co-host, Coach Mitch, gets the send off he deserves. Nathan, B.R, Paige and Mitch discuss passing the torch, offer some closure on Mitch’s departure, the minor differences in opinion between 'Peaceful not Harmless' and Pacifism and how pacifist philosophy, parenting and finding his passion have changed his worldview. Nathan, B.R and Paige also talk shop with Mitch about Coaching a Semi-Pro Women’s Soccer team, talking shit to other Coaches, how having his daughter influenced him to push for better opportunities in that league, why there is much less ‘injury theater’ in women’s soccer compared to the men’s, jumping from coaching youth to professional adults, abusing the rules in the pre-season to make the game better in the long term and much more!
On a personal note, we love Mitch dearly, we miss having him on the show and as a part of the CBRN team, but we are so proud of what he’s moved on to and to see him put time into his Coaching career, his family and living the good life. Main storyline complete: Happy ending unlocked (n̶o̶t̶ t̶h̶e̶ k̶i̶n̶d̶ N̶a̶t̶h̶a̶n̶ p̶a̶y̶s̶ f̶o̶r̶).

099: Chillderburg - A Pop Up Anarchist Village, in Texas!
Joining B.R and Nathan this week is Jacob, host of the Tasting Anarchy Podcast and the main organizer behind the Texas based liberty campout event: Chillderburg. Jacob and the lads talk about what Chillderburg is, the pop up Anarchist village now in it’s fifth year, how the event started off as a joke about drinking alone to counter-protest the illuminati Bilderberg gathering, networking and hanging with liberty minded people beyond the firearm space from all sorts of different backgrounds, Jacob talks about the events including the music and comedy show featuring Austin based comedians and the general atmosphere of the camp. The guys also get into the culture of homeschooled children at Chillderburg and how it's a great opportunity to talk to families doing it and see how great it's working out for their kids, the networking possible with freedom lovers of all different skillsets and the major white pill of seeing community build year after year. Also discussed is the topic of 'Intentional Communities', the long term goal of Chillderburg is to become a permanent township based upon shared liberty centric values, Jacob gets into the 're-small towning' of America as people flee the cities and become more self reliant and how he hopes to get ahead of that and B.R (jokingly) questions the cult status of Chillderburg goers.
For all those interested in building real, freedom loving community, come hang with Nathan and B.R at Rebbeca Creek Campgrounds, Texas the 26th-29th of May Memorial Day Weekend and be sure to purchase camping tickets at Chillderburg.com!
