Your bug-out bag, 5 00:00:18.179 --> 00:00:22.679 your get-home bag, every bag you have, your everyday bag, 6 00:00:23.339 --> 00:00:28.539 you should have a set of gloves. A set of gloves. 7 00:00:28.699 --> 00:00:38.409 If you've ever hiked through brush or terrain, you don't 8 00:00:38.450 --> 00:00:43.189 want your hands ripped up by thorns and grabby things. 9 00:00:43.670 --> 00:00:47.229 You need to have a set of gloves in every 10 00:00:47.329 --> 00:00:50.630 bag you have and maybe a few, just put them 11 00:00:50.670 --> 00:00:53.850 in the car for people that may be with you 12 00:00:54.950 --> 00:00:58.810 when everything goes to craps. I can't say enough good 13 00:00:59.659 --> 00:01:04.579 things about gloves. I wear gloves all the time here 14 00:01:04.620 --> 00:01:09.739 at the Jones Homestead, whenever I'm working, and definitely whenever 15 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:14.519 I'm out. That is your prepper tip for the day, gloves. Hello, 16 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.659 everyone out there in Internet Radio Land. This is Dave Jones, 17 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.000 the NBC guy, and I am on fire with tips. Oh, 18 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:29.609 my gosh. This guy is on fire. Anyway, for all 19 00:01:29.650 --> 00:01:34.170 you Swifties out there, here's my tip. No, no, this 20 00:01:34.230 --> 00:01:36.849 is not my tip. This is what you should do. 21 00:01:37.810 --> 00:01:43.620 You should get hand tools. Hand tools. Listen, in my 22 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:50.340 NBC class, I jokingly tell everybody, hey, when EMP hits, 23 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:58.469 we just become Amish overnight. And... And I often say 24 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:04.200 that if your long-term plan for survival includes electricity, you 25 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:10.750 may have a bad plan. So hand tools, that's a no-brainer. 26 00:02:11.430 --> 00:02:19.599 My tip is estate sales. Yes, estate sales, yard sales, 27 00:02:20.860 --> 00:02:24.689 Trust me, you can get these things for pennies. Pennies 28 00:02:24.810 --> 00:02:28.389 on the dollar. I picked up a brand new Fisker 29 00:02:28.409 --> 00:02:29.650 axe for $ 6. 30 00:02:29.180 --> 00:02:30.120 $ 6. 31 00:02:29.650 --> 00:02:35.330 This thing is normally like $ 20, $ 30. Never used. You know, 32 00:02:35.389 --> 00:02:50.639 you need all the hand tools needed That you would 33 00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:56.000 use if the electricity was out forever. So think about that. 34 00:02:57.180 --> 00:03:00.840 Hand tools for everything. Do you have something to drill with? 35 00:03:02.210 --> 00:03:05.810 Do you have one of those hand augers? I do. 36 00:03:05.830 --> 00:03:12.569 I have a few of them. And the bits go in. 37 00:03:13.569 --> 00:03:17.889 And you can make holes by drilling with your hands. Look. 38 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:25.030 Think about the worst case scenario and plan backwards from 39 00:03:25.069 --> 00:03:30.900 that because you can do it. You can do it. 40 00:03:31.490 --> 00:03:36.330 The Amish do it every day. Take care and prep on. 41 00:03:38.270 --> 00:03:40.560 hello everyone out there in internet radio land this is 42 00:03:40.590 --> 00:03:43.560 dave jones the nbc guy with you another tip the 43 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.460 tip is it's more like a myth okay so in 44 00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:51.840 the back channel uh the intrepid commander said maybe we 45 00:03:51.860 --> 00:03:55.620 could do myths prepper myths and this is this is 46 00:03:55.780 --> 00:04:03.770 it uh if your plan includes hunting fishing foraging, you 47 00:04:03.810 --> 00:04:08.930 have a bad plan. All of those things should be extra. 48 00:04:09.490 --> 00:04:12.590 That is a myth. If you think you can hunt 49 00:04:12.629 --> 00:04:15.759 your way out of the apocalypse, that is a myth. 50 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.959 Hunting is hope. And hope is not a strategy, okay? 51 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:24.139 You have to have a plan for your protein. You 52 00:04:24.180 --> 00:04:27.279 have to secure it. And you have to move forward 53 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:32.759 knowing that it is secure. You can't leave it to hope. 54 00:04:33.459 --> 00:04:36.680 So that is your prepper tip of the day. Secure 55 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:41.819 your protein. Don't rely on luck. Luck is not a strategy. 56 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.189 Take care and prep on. Hello, everyone out there in 57 00:04:46.230 --> 00:04:49.040 Internet Radio Land. This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy. 58 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.620 And as you can tell, I kind of do a 59 00:04:52.660 --> 00:04:55.579 bunch of tips on the weekend, and then I upload 60 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.339 them so that they land every day. I promise 30 61 00:04:58.339 --> 00:05:04.129 tips in 30 days. And today's tip is bartering. Trade. 62 00:05:06.250 --> 00:05:10.990 Everybody has something that they could trade for something that 63 00:05:11.029 --> 00:05:13.250 they want. And it's not what you're thinking. 64 00:05:13.269 --> 00:05:13.810 Okay. 65 00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:19.110 It's labor. Labor. You could do work. If you know 66 00:05:19.139 --> 00:05:22.370 how to split wood, you could split wood for someone 67 00:05:22.829 --> 00:05:26.550 to get whatever you want. You know, a day's work 68 00:05:27.310 --> 00:05:34.899 for an item that you need or pay. You know, gold, silver, 69 00:05:35.579 --> 00:05:39.220 precious metals, they only have value if value is put 70 00:05:39.339 --> 00:05:45.300 on them. You know, Our cash is a fiat currency, 71 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:53.800 so it's backed by nothing. It's backed by your promise 72 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:58.970 to work hard all your life and die. That's what 73 00:05:59.050 --> 00:06:04.410 our government says. The work ethic of America is what 74 00:06:04.490 --> 00:06:10.870 makes United States currency value. So there has never been 75 00:06:11.009 --> 00:06:16.910 a fiat currency issue. That hasn't failed. So in the 76 00:06:16.949 --> 00:06:22.930 history of the world. So it's only a matter of 77 00:06:22.949 --> 00:06:25.779 time till the dollar drops and you have to have 78 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.529 something else to go back on. You know, I keep 79 00:06:28.689 --> 00:06:31.829 most of my gold, the gold that I do have 80 00:06:32.170 --> 00:06:39.939 in gold backs. I think they're fantastic. They're beautiful, practically indestructible. Silver, 81 00:06:39.949 --> 00:06:42.860 I have some silver. But like I said, those two 82 00:06:43.139 --> 00:06:47.819 items right there only have value if people put a 83 00:06:47.939 --> 00:06:52.899 value on them. They're pretty much worthless unless you want 84 00:06:52.939 --> 00:06:58.709 to conduct electricity or drop a silver coin in milk, 85 00:06:58.769 --> 00:07:08.680 it will retard the bacteria from forming as antibacterial properties. 86 00:07:08.939 --> 00:07:15.019 You can make colloidal silver from silver and distilled water 87 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:20.459 by electrolysis. But that's a tip for another day. Anyway, trade. 88 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:24.810 Work on it. Have a skill that is in demand. 89 00:07:25.490 --> 00:07:31.519 in an shtf situation and you will always have something 90 00:07:31.579 --> 00:07:36.939 to trade take care and prep on hello everyone out 91 00:07:36.980 --> 00:07:39.560 there in internet radio land this is dave jones with 92 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:45.930 your first tip of national preparedness month standardization okay this 93 00:07:45.949 --> 00:07:50.110 is a concept more than a tip but you want 94 00:07:50.149 --> 00:07:56.199 to standardize things across the board amongst your family, amongst 95 00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:03.800 your group. I can't stress this enough, that standardization, where 96 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.939 you carry things, what you carry, like I talked about 97 00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:12.490 the multi-tool the other day. If you all have the 98 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:19.660 same multi-tool, you all have the same capabilities. And if 99 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.660 you carry them in the same place, you know exactly 100 00:08:22.699 --> 00:08:26.410 where that person's carrying the multi-tool and you can find 101 00:08:26.490 --> 00:08:29.199 it in the dark and pull it out and use it. 102 00:08:29.769 --> 00:08:33.789 So standardization, that is your tip of the day. Standardize 103 00:08:33.889 --> 00:08:39.620 weapons so you can interchange parts, interchange magazines, interchange calibers. 104 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:45.259 I can't stress standardization enough. Use the concept as much 105 00:08:45.340 --> 00:08:47.889 as possible. Take care and prep on it. 106 00:09:03.070 --> 00:09:06.490 Let's talk comms for our prepper tip of the day. 107 00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:11.190 Before we get specific on equipment, let's talk about the basics, 108 00:09:11.470 --> 00:09:14.529 kind of like what comms means. I know for me 109 00:09:14.570 --> 00:09:17.009 in my life, I've had a couple times where I've 110 00:09:17.029 --> 00:09:20.480 been stuck in a location and And I've not been 111 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.200 able to either talk or hear to the outside world. 112 00:09:25.220 --> 00:09:26.940 And that was during a hurricane. 113 00:09:27.419 --> 00:09:27.919 Both times. 114 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.639 One was at the coast and one was here in 115 00:09:31.659 --> 00:09:36.750 the mountains of North Carolina. So everybody thinks about prepping 116 00:09:36.830 --> 00:09:40.409 and the three B's, right? Beans, bullets, and Band-Aids, right? 117 00:09:40.470 --> 00:09:43.789 But what comes after B? C, comms. So every day 118 00:09:44.110 --> 00:09:49.289 we talk, we listen, we process, and then we take action. 119 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:55.070 A comms plan will help us be more efficient and 120 00:09:55.210 --> 00:09:58.850 have a longer range for our talking and our listening. 121 00:09:59.169 --> 00:10:03.460 Think about, we've heard on BBN posts talking about the 122 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:09.799 PACE plan, right? Primary, alternate, contingency, and emergency, right? You 123 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:15.159 have four things to cover one incident. So if we 124 00:10:15.220 --> 00:10:19.309 put that in the realm of comms, if we do a, 125 00:10:19.700 --> 00:10:22.759 PACE plan for comms will have, let's just think the 126 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:25.639 primary is your cell phone. It's what you use. You 127 00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.610 just carry it. Everybody's got it with them every day, 128 00:10:29.450 --> 00:10:33.019 and that's their primary. They talk to their family, their friends, 129 00:10:33.149 --> 00:10:37.289 their coworkers with the cell phone. And alternate to that 130 00:10:38.750 --> 00:10:42.029 is what if you just can't make a phone call 131 00:10:42.490 --> 00:10:46.490 because it's not socially appropriate to be talking on the phone? 132 00:10:47.250 --> 00:10:52.789 or because the service is spotty. Well, for your alternate plan, 133 00:10:52.820 --> 00:10:56.820 you could do texting, you could do emails, some kind 134 00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:02.399 of digital communication, which tends to have a better chance 135 00:11:02.460 --> 00:11:07.580 of getting through if the cell service is spotty. After 136 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.460 that contingency, and you know me, I love to talk 137 00:11:10.500 --> 00:11:15.720 about radios. So we can talk about all kinds of radios, right? 138 00:11:15.779 --> 00:11:23.350 Not specific, but Ham, the amateur bands, the GMRS, the FRS, 139 00:11:23.509 --> 00:11:26.789 the little raiders that the kids run around with. And 140 00:11:26.809 --> 00:11:31.129 you can also think about Meshtastic, which is kind of 141 00:11:31.149 --> 00:11:35.039 a little more of a cutting edge, but it's gaining likes. 142 00:11:36.059 --> 00:11:40.440 So yeah, so contingency. After that, emergency, your last ditch effort. 143 00:11:40.779 --> 00:11:45.620 If you can't get your family members or your friends 144 00:11:45.700 --> 00:11:48.009 that you're supposed to meet up with If you can't 145 00:11:48.029 --> 00:11:51.370 get them on the phone, they're not replying to texts 146 00:11:51.570 --> 00:11:56.860 or emails, and for whatever reason, the radios aren't working, 147 00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:01.899 you're down to your last-ditch effort. Your PACE plan should 148 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.879 have something set up where you guys say, okay, if 149 00:12:05.940 --> 00:12:09.549 this happens, we're all going to meet up at this location, 150 00:12:10.309 --> 00:12:13.570 and we're going to wait there for so many minutes 151 00:12:13.629 --> 00:12:16.210 or so many hours before we proceed on to the 152 00:12:16.549 --> 00:12:21.279 next location. Well, that's it for now. Hope that gets 153 00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.940 you thinking about doing a comms pace plan for yourself. 154 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:28.259 Thanks for listening to Let's Talk Comms, PPN Prepper Tip 155 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:28.620 of the Day. 156 00:12:47.950 --> 00:12:50.429 Hello everyone out there on Internet Radio Land. This is 157 00:12:50.450 --> 00:12:53.610 Dave Jones, the NBC guy, with your tip for the 158 00:12:54.590 --> 00:12:58.230 3rd of November. Today is the first day of school, 159 00:12:58.330 --> 00:13:01.600 so I thought I'd record this early because I don't 160 00:13:01.629 --> 00:13:03.649 know how the first day is going to go, but 161 00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:07.399 it's going to be crazy. Hey, something I always say 162 00:13:07.620 --> 00:13:14.889 is capability and limitations, okay? This is another concept for prepping. 163 00:13:15.529 --> 00:13:19.730 You have to understand the capabilities and limitations of all 164 00:13:19.769 --> 00:13:23.750 your equipment and all your personnel. You wouldn't use a 165 00:13:23.830 --> 00:13:30.960 hammer for a screwdriver, right? So don't put a 90-pound 166 00:13:31.059 --> 00:13:35.500 pack on a 100-pound woman and expect her to hump 167 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:42.139 a trail, right? You understand capabilities and limitations. You're only 168 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:46.950 as strong as your weakest person in your group. Whoever 169 00:13:47.090 --> 00:13:53.169 is the worst shot, okay, that is your best you 170 00:13:53.250 --> 00:13:59.990 can do. So understand capabilities and limitations of your equipment, 171 00:14:00.909 --> 00:14:04.730 what it can do, what it can't do, and have 172 00:14:04.769 --> 00:14:10.429 a realistic idea of of what your people can do 173 00:14:10.509 --> 00:14:14.480 and what they can't do. Because you don't become Rambo 174 00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:21.100 in SHTF. It just doesn't happen. As a matter of fact... 175 00:14:21.610 --> 00:14:28.220 between the stress and the physical, you know, stress of 176 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:34.639 the situation, you will become less effective, not more effective. 177 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:41.139 So understand capabilities and limitations. That's your tip for today. Hello, 178 00:14:41.220 --> 00:14:44.110 everyone out there in Internet Radio Land. This is Dave Jones, 179 00:14:44.149 --> 00:14:48.850 the Emerson. The NBC guy. I'm trying to do this 180 00:14:48.889 --> 00:14:53.610 with two different phones. Anyway, this is your prepper tip 181 00:14:53.669 --> 00:14:56.690 for the day. I've got to make it quick because 182 00:14:57.110 --> 00:15:00.879 the warden is going to catch me. This is a 183 00:15:00.940 --> 00:15:06.120 tip about gorilla gardening. Gorilla gardening is using land that 184 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:10.379 you have access to but you may not necessarily own. 185 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:17.970 Think about the the area between two lane highways divided, 186 00:15:18.029 --> 00:15:22.509 the medial. In that area right there, you could sneak out, 187 00:15:23.009 --> 00:15:27.330 plant things that go in the ground and just leave 188 00:15:27.409 --> 00:15:42.340 them there. I'm talking about horseradishes, carrots, anything that's tuber, onions, garlic, ginger. 189 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:47.480 Even potatoes. I mean, potatoes, who knows what a potato 190 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.980 plant looks like, right? And if they cut it off, 191 00:15:51.340 --> 00:15:55.039 it will grow back. So plant them in there in 192 00:15:55.090 --> 00:15:59.110 the middle of darkness. No one knows they're there but you. 193 00:16:00.049 --> 00:16:04.029 And as long as they don't spray, they'll be there 194 00:16:04.070 --> 00:16:08.389 when you need it. That is the prepper tip of 195 00:16:08.470 --> 00:16:12.480 the day. Hello everyone out there in internet radio land. 196 00:16:12.549 --> 00:16:15.000 It's Dave Jones, the NBC guy, with your prepper tip 197 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.919 of the day. Now, listen up, because this is going 198 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.279 to be kind of complicated and kind of quick.

So, if you don't 201 00:16:32.409 --> 00:16:34.730 have any weapons, your first one you want to buy 202 00:16:34.870 --> 00:16:35.029 is a. 203 00:16:34.990 --> 00:16:35.110 22. A. 204 00:16:35.049 --> 00:16:41.179 22 caliber is a small... gun that you can hunt 205 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.279 game with, and there's plenty of ammo out there. It's 206 00:16:45.379 --> 00:16:49.090 easy to carry. Number two, a nine millimeter. It's the 207 00:16:49.129 --> 00:16:53.649 most plentiful round in the world. In the world, it's 208 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:59.940 a NATO standard. Number three, 12-gauge shotgun. A 12-gauge shotgun 209 00:16:59.980 --> 00:17:05.299 because of the versatility and because the home defense, close 210 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:12.509 quarters defense, proximity of firing. I mean, it is an 211 00:17:12.589 --> 00:17:19.720 all-around great defense weapon. Number four, some type of AR gun. 212 00:17:23.009 --> 00:17:30.759 platform either in 5.56 or my personal favorite 7.62 because 213 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:36.420 that is also a nato standard round okay and then 214 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:42.049 finally your fifth weapon is something for long range shooting 215 00:17:43.630 --> 00:17:52.240 think sniper rifle Maybe a. 30- 06 or a 7.62. 7.62 216 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:57.809 if you have them in your AR. You can standardize 217 00:17:57.869 --> 00:18:03.410 that cartridge for also your sniper weapon. So there, that 218 00:18:03.650 --> 00:18:08.710 is your prepper arsenal that you should strive to achieve. 219 00:18:09.250 --> 00:18:13.289 And that is your prepper tip of the day.

Yes, 223 00:18:33.869 --> 00:18:40.150 feminine hygiene products. They are sterile, they're sanitary, and they're 224 00:18:40.170 --> 00:18:44.339 made to absorb blood. You can pack a lot of 225 00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:50.440 them into a wound to stop it from bleeding. They're inexpensive. 226 00:18:50.779 --> 00:18:53.460 You should have some on hand if you have females 227 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:59.269 in your group that are still menstruating. And a tampon 228 00:18:59.390 --> 00:19:04.329 works well in a bullet wound. Just saying. That is 229 00:19:04.349 --> 00:19:11.029 your prepper tip for the day. So, the three knife concept. 230 00:19:11.609 --> 00:19:15.230 You need to always have three different types of knife. 231 00:19:15.630 --> 00:19:18.750 Remember I said right tool for the right job?

Okay, now we're going to talk 297 00:24:17.130 --> 00:24:24.289 about bartering stuff. What do you have to trade? And 298 00:24:24.390 --> 00:24:28.170 here's the tip. You need to have something to trade 299 00:24:28.529 --> 00:24:29.930 that you make more of. 300 00:24:30.769 --> 00:24:31.009 Yeah. 301 00:24:32.009 --> 00:24:37.579 It's not something you stockpile. Do you understand? It's something 302 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.690 that you create that is rare and You know, we 303 00:24:41.779 --> 00:24:46.519 have salt. We have hundreds of pounds of salt. But 304 00:24:46.579 --> 00:24:52.259 we're not trading it. We're keeping it for ourselves. Think 305 00:24:52.299 --> 00:24:58.200 about all the things that are barterable in SHTF. You 306 00:24:58.259 --> 00:25:03.710 can't make more silver. You can't make more salt unless 307 00:25:03.730 --> 00:25:09.619 you're sitting on top of a natural salt deposit. you know, 308 00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:14.640 like a dry lake bed or something like that. So 309 00:25:14.660 --> 00:25:18.019 it has to be something that you create, you know, 310 00:25:18.059 --> 00:25:22.680 whether it's food, if you can create more food to trade, 311 00:25:22.900 --> 00:25:31.400 whether it's livestock or skills. You can barter skills. If 312 00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:37.549 it's manual labor, you can split wood. If it's blacksmithing, 313 00:25:37.690 --> 00:25:41.539 if you can fabricate from metal, that's a skill that 314 00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:48.519 you can barter. Some people store alcohol. Here at the 315 00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:51.599 Jones Homestead, we don't because we know how to make 316 00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:58.319 more whiskey. We can make practically unlimited supplies of whiskey. 317 00:25:59.019 --> 00:26:04.559 So we have stuff that we can trade here. And 318 00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:08.900 you need to think about what it is that you 319 00:26:09.619 --> 00:26:12.039 will be able to trade. And it can be labor. 320 00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:17.609 If you've got a strong back, everybody needs wood split. 321 00:26:18.289 --> 00:26:21.650 So there you go. Think about trading, PBN family.

I had to talk about something. 384 00:31:34.650 --> 00:31:41.829 I chose the weather. Anyway, that is my prepper tip 385 00:31:41.849 --> 00:31:46.490 for the day. Duress! This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy, 386 00:31:46.529 --> 00:31:48.690 with your prepper tip of the day. You hear that 387 00:31:48.730 --> 00:31:55.309 squeaky chair? I am in the office, hiding from the warden. Hey, 388 00:31:55.509 --> 00:32:00.529 here's your tip. I get asked this question somewhat regularly. 389 00:32:02.589 --> 00:32:08.089 It'll go something like this. If I only have $ 50 390 00:32:06.670 --> 00:32:12.109 or $ 100, what would you spend it on? And there's 391 00:32:12.410 --> 00:32:18.430 one thing that I always tell people. Spend it on education. Education. 392 00:32:20.259 --> 00:32:27.079 something new, learn something new, a blacksmithing course, a welding course, 393 00:32:27.099 --> 00:32:32.740 you know, learn how to make wine or beer or 394 00:32:32.859 --> 00:32:42.160 bread or your knowledge, your brain. They can't take that 395 00:32:42.220 --> 00:32:46.160 away from you. If you lost every piece of gear 396 00:32:46.259 --> 00:32:50.599 you had, but you still know how to fabricate metal, 397 00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:56.490 you are of value. So, if you only have a 398 00:32:56.630 --> 00:33:03.029 limited amount of funds to spend, always get new knowledge, 399 00:33:03.670 --> 00:33:10.700 new education. Find out something you didn't know yesterday. When 400 00:33:10.859 --> 00:33:14.920 I say establish a position and improve upon it daily, 401 00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:19.920 there's no better way to spend your prepper dollars than 402 00:33:20.059 --> 00:33:23.960 learning something new. And that is my prepper tip for 403 00:33:23.980 --> 00:33:29.630 the day. Take care and prep on. You got to 404 00:33:29.710 --> 00:33:35.099 do a walkthrough. You've got to walk through your property. 405 00:33:35.779 --> 00:33:38.619 You've got to walk the perimeter. You've got to figure 406 00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:44.230 out how you're going to secure your property. And the 407 00:33:44.349 --> 00:33:46.789 only way to do that is do a walkthrough. Yeah, 408 00:33:47.970 --> 00:33:51.130 you could do a Google map recon, something like that. 409 00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:54.619 But until you walk the land, you're not going to know. 410 00:33:56.730 --> 00:34:02.339 Where to put certain things, you know, like a trip wire, 411 00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:08.650 an alarm, a camera, a light. You have to walk 412 00:34:09.230 --> 00:34:13.190 your property and walk the perimeter. Remember when I said 413 00:34:13.250 --> 00:34:14.929 about the concentric circles? 414 00:34:14.949 --> 00:34:15.019 Yes. 415 00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:20.639 Well, that's one of your circles, is your outer perimeter 416 00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:24.760 of your property. You have to walk it. That is 417 00:34:24.820 --> 00:34:31.179 my prepper tip for the day. Listen, today's tip is 418 00:34:31.260 --> 00:34:38.550 on water. Water. So, you need to secure your water. 419 00:34:39.550 --> 00:34:43.289 You need to be able to collect it, treat it, 420 00:34:43.949 --> 00:34:48.690 filter it, distill it You need to have at least 421 00:34:48.829 --> 00:34:54.230 two sources of water, primary and alternate. My contingency is 422 00:34:54.309 --> 00:34:59.769 my rain barrels, and my emergency water is the water 423 00:34:59.789 --> 00:35:03.969 that I have in storage. So that's what we have 424 00:35:04.030 --> 00:35:07.139 here at the Jones Homestead. You can easily do a 425 00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:13.639 rain catchment with food-grade 55-gallon drums, and then you put 426 00:35:13.659 --> 00:35:19.809 a spout collection... on it. You know, they're like 18 427 00:35:19.809 --> 00:35:22.989 bucks at Home Depot. It's a thing that you put 428 00:35:23.030 --> 00:35:25.800 in your rain spout and it goes in and then 429 00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:29.880 they also have a valve with a hose connection that 430 00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:32.340 you can put in the bottom of the barrel. So, 431 00:35:34.940 --> 00:35:37.340 you need to have a way to have water because 432 00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:41.969 you can't make water. You have to have it to 433 00:35:42.010 --> 00:35:47.050 be able to filter it and treat it or distill it. 434 00:35:48.250 --> 00:35:56.230 Do you have a distiller? They're pretty inexpensive. Around $ 100 435 00:35:55.889 --> 00:35:59.119 you can get a small one. That way if you 436 00:35:59.139 --> 00:36:02.840 get any kind of water, you can distill it and 437 00:36:02.900 --> 00:36:09.199 make it pure. So you need to secure your water system. 438 00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:15.050 That is my prepper tip of the day. Primary Alternate 439 00:36:15.510 --> 00:36:21.719 Contingency Emergency. Take care and prep on. Hello everyone out 440 00:36:21.739 --> 00:36:24.030 there in internet radio land. This is Dave Jones, the 441 00:36:24.130 --> 00:36:27.250 NBC guy with your prepper tip of the day. Now look, 442 00:36:27.989 --> 00:36:33.269 everybody knows they need to start their off-grid medical kit, right? 443 00:36:34.650 --> 00:36:38.909 Everybody goes for that antibiotics and stuff like that first. 444 00:36:39.570 --> 00:36:45.300 But how about if you go with all the over-the-counter stuff, right? 445 00:36:46.329 --> 00:36:48.769 The things that you can buy right now without a 446 00:36:48.829 --> 00:36:53.030 prescription that'll just make your life easier and better and 447 00:36:53.090 --> 00:36:58.900 less painful in the SHTF. Now, I highly recommend Dr. 448 00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:05.400 Forgey's list in his handbook to the Prepper Medical Handbook, 449 00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:08.739 which we advertise all the time. But all of this 450 00:37:08.860 --> 00:37:14.650 is not the tip. The tip is the dollar store. 451 00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:21.719 you can get a lot of good over-the-counter medical preps 452 00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:25.800 at the dollar store, and you can stock up now. 453 00:37:27.250 --> 00:37:33.949 I mean, I mentioned super glue. That's where I got mine. 454 00:37:33.989 --> 00:37:39.260 You get a five-pack of one-use super glue for a dollar, 455 00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:47.389 and they not only seal up deep cuts that are sliced, okay? 456 00:37:48.269 --> 00:37:50.670 You can use super glue for all kinds of stuff. 457 00:37:50.730 --> 00:37:59.070 So the tip is the dollar store medical supplies. Get 458 00:37:59.130 --> 00:38:02.989 you some, build you a cash, and it doesn't have 459 00:38:03.030 --> 00:38:09.760 to be expensive. Take care and prep on. Sleep. 460 00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:11.179 Yeah. 461 00:38:12.030 --> 00:38:19.110 Sleep is vitally important. It's the single best thing you 462 00:38:19.150 --> 00:38:23.820 can do to boost your immune system is sleep. And 463 00:38:23.860 --> 00:38:30.679 in an SHTF situation, you'll be under more stress than 464 00:38:30.739 --> 00:38:36.489 you can imagine. That's the reason I chuckle, okay? When 465 00:38:36.570 --> 00:38:40.360 I was in the military... I did not get a 466 00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:45.659 lot of sleep. And the thing about sleep is, if 467 00:38:45.699 --> 00:38:50.920 you lose 24 hours of sleep, 50% of your mental 468 00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:55.659 faculties are impaired. So if you're the person that's making 469 00:38:55.780 --> 00:39:01.699 key decisions for your operation, do you want that person 470 00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:04.530 to be without 50% of their mental capacity? 471 00:39:04.550 --> 00:39:04.610 No. 472 00:39:04.590 --> 00:39:10.309 50% of mine is, you know, 10 of most people 473 00:39:10.429 --> 00:39:15.690 so you want them to have sleep now you can 474 00:39:15.730 --> 00:39:21.039 break it up into two four hour increments it's not 475 00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:26.840 as good but it's still quality sleep and and that's 476 00:39:26.900 --> 00:39:32.260 another thing quantity versus quality Uh, you need to be 477 00:39:32.380 --> 00:39:36.579 safe and secure in your sleep. If you're trying to 478 00:39:36.659 --> 00:39:39.480 do guard watch and take a quick nap or something 479 00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:44.820 like that, that's not going to work. Uh, On the 480 00:39:44.860 --> 00:39:49.489 other hand, if you lose 24 hours of sleep, if 481 00:39:49.530 --> 00:39:53.230 you go without sleep for 24 hours, you only lose 482 00:39:53.230 --> 00:39:59.360 10% of your physical capabilities. So you can do physical 483 00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:05.699 work longer than you can do mental work. So that 484 00:40:05.780 --> 00:40:13.449 should be factored into your prepper plan. Sleep, vitally important 485 00:40:13.489 --> 00:40:19.139 for every member of your crew and super important for 486 00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:25.969 the person making life and death situation decisions. That's my 487 00:40:26.030 --> 00:40:30.070 prepper tip for the day. Sleep, very important. Take care 488 00:40:30.090 --> 00:40:41.969 and prep on. Hello everyone out there in internet radio land. 489 00:40:42.010 --> 00:40:45.150 This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy, with your prepper 490 00:40:45.210 --> 00:40:47.909 tip of the day. I'm in the office. You hear 491 00:40:47.929 --> 00:40:55.500 the squeaky chair? Look, you got to dry fire your weapons. What? 492 00:40:56.159 --> 00:41:01.579 Everybody tells me not to dry fire. Look, they are 493 00:41:02.420 --> 00:41:12.820 mechanically designed to do 50 to 100,000 times firing. Okay? So, 494 00:41:13.909 --> 00:41:20.369 dry firing them is not going to wear out that mechanism. 495 00:41:21.130 --> 00:41:25.150 Trust me, if you're not going out every weekend and 496 00:41:25.250 --> 00:41:30.110 putting 200 or 300 rounds through that weapon, it is 497 00:41:30.230 --> 00:41:31.449 not going to hurt. 498 00:41:31.210 --> 00:41:31.989 It at all. 499 00:41:32.449 --> 00:41:38.340 The utility... that you are going to get from carrying it, 500 00:41:38.949 --> 00:41:46.889 drawing it, aiming, firing, is way, way more important than 501 00:41:47.050 --> 00:41:53.909 trying to save that mechanism from being dry-fired. Okay? And 502 00:41:53.949 --> 00:41:57.610 you could put a dime on the end of your barrel, 503 00:41:58.489 --> 00:42:05.309 and keep your sight picture, and draw, I mean... slowly 504 00:42:05.949 --> 00:42:13.110 trigger control is what you want a monkey can align 505 00:42:13.159 --> 00:42:18.800 the sights trigger control is what you want you want 506 00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:21.619 to be able to squeeze that trigger think about it 507 00:42:22.500 --> 00:42:26.300 it's the only moving part of the weapon that trigger 508 00:42:27.340 --> 00:42:31.920 because once it goes through its mechanism that bullet is 509 00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:36.670 launched and gone You can't affect it anymore. So you 510 00:42:36.730 --> 00:42:41.989 have to get trigger control down. Whatever it is to 511 00:42:42.130 --> 00:42:45.739 pull that trigger. And if you put a dime on 512 00:42:45.780 --> 00:42:48.699 the end of your barrel and it doesn't fall off, 513 00:42:48.900 --> 00:42:54.699 you're squeezing it, squeezing it. It was an exercise that 514 00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:57.880 we used to do with a revolver. And we would 515 00:42:57.920 --> 00:43:02.769 do it in double action. which means you pulled, the 516 00:43:02.889 --> 00:43:08.659 cylinder rotated, and the hammer fell, and the dime never 517 00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:15.679 fell off the end of the barrel. So, dry fire away, 518 00:43:15.820 --> 00:43:20.650 PBN family. Dry fire away. Get used to carrying your weapon, 519 00:43:21.070 --> 00:43:24.409 however you're going to carry it. Get used to the 520 00:43:24.590 --> 00:43:30.420 mechanism of it. The reason the Israelis... Defense force is 521 00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:35.699 so good and they send the weapons home with the people. 522 00:43:40.119 --> 00:43:44.230 You have to have the utility of carrying it, holding it, 523 00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:48.679 firing it. You have to know what works and what 524 00:43:48.719 --> 00:43:51.820 don't work. So that's my prepper tip for the day. 525 00:43:52.389 --> 00:44:05.599 Do not fear the dry fire. Hello everyone out there 526 00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:08.619 in internet radio land. This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy. 527 00:44:08.940 --> 00:44:12.389 Giving you another prepper tip of the day. And this 528 00:44:12.409 --> 00:44:17.929 is isolation. Isolation is your best friend in a pandemic. 529 00:44:18.849 --> 00:44:26.260 A biological agent. A germ. A germ. You need to 530 00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:30.119 be able to isolate yourself from the outside world. But 531 00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:34.760 more importantly... You need to be able to protect anybody 532 00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:41.329 that gets sick. If you have a master bedroom, you 533 00:44:41.389 --> 00:44:47.800 have an isolation quarters. the same person takes care of 534 00:44:47.860 --> 00:44:52.440 them every day at the same time. You take them food, 535 00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:57.190 whatever they need, and they are isolated from the rest 536 00:44:57.429 --> 00:45:01.889 of the house, the rest of the family. And that person, 537 00:45:02.510 --> 00:45:05.909 only one person takes care of them because if they 538 00:45:05.969 --> 00:45:10.429 come down with the sickness, then they become isolated. But 539 00:45:10.469 --> 00:45:14.539 you need to know that isolation is your best friend. 540 00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:19.489 If there is isolation, when there is the next pandemic 541 00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:24.610 if you stay away from everybody that is your best 542 00:45:24.730 --> 00:45:31.190 defense your second best defense is cleaning yourself cleaning your 543 00:45:31.230 --> 00:45:40.409 hands destroying germs okay alcohol 70 percent or more uh 544 00:45:40.530 --> 00:45:49.230 hydrogen peroxide greater than seven percent um Clorox, chlorine, totally 545 00:45:49.329 --> 00:45:55.849 neutralizes any kind of germ agent. So that is my 546 00:45:55.949 --> 00:46:02.699 prepper tip for the day. Isolation. Think about it. Take 547 00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:07.420 care and prep on. And I don't know why I 548 00:46:07.500 --> 00:46:11.219 came up with this tip. I woke up this morning 549 00:46:11.760 --> 00:46:15.349 and this is stuck in my brain pan. So I 550 00:46:15.409 --> 00:46:18.670 just thought I'd get it out there. And that is 551 00:46:18.829 --> 00:46:26.219 performance-oriented training, or the acronym we used in the Army, POT. 552 00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:29.320 They say, what are we going to do today? Oh, 553 00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:31.539 we're going to do some POT. You know, and it 554 00:46:31.559 --> 00:46:36.760 was a big joke. But performance-oriented training is, and you 555 00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:41.650 may have already participated in something like this, very small, 556 00:46:42.010 --> 00:46:46.329 hands-on tasks. that you can do, and it's designed to 557 00:46:48.150 --> 00:46:52.090 get you tuned up, get you ready, get you thinking, 558 00:46:53.010 --> 00:46:57.820 like loading and clearing a weapon. Very small tasks like that. 559 00:46:57.860 --> 00:47:02.000 Of course, use dummy rounds. Do not use live rounds. 560 00:47:02.019 --> 00:47:07.119 There's an accidental discharge that could occur, so use dummy rounds. 561 00:47:07.940 --> 00:47:12.880 Applying a bandage, applying a tourniquet, and then you would 562 00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:17.800 do this in like what we called a round-robin type affair, 563 00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:20.579 where you go to a different station, there'd be a table, 564 00:47:21.219 --> 00:47:24.300 and boom, you perform the task. And it was a 565 00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:28.239 pass-fail kind of thing. So you either did it right 566 00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:33.099 and got a pass, go, no-go, or you got a no-go, 567 00:47:33.659 --> 00:47:39.289 which means you need more hands-on training with that particular skill. 568 00:47:40.030 --> 00:47:41.530 So it's designed to get a lot of. 569 00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:49.179 Opportunities in in a short period of time. And you'd 570 00:47:49.219 --> 00:47:53.730 get like maybe two minutes, three minutes at a table. 571 00:47:55.309 --> 00:47:58.849 The instructor would tell you what the task was and boom, 572 00:48:00.010 --> 00:48:02.690 you'd do it. And then they'd blow a whistle and 573 00:48:02.710 --> 00:48:03.989 you'd rotate. 574 00:48:03.530 --> 00:48:04.320 To the next one. 575 00:48:04.780 --> 00:48:09.280 So I don't know why that is stuck, but if 576 00:48:09.420 --> 00:48:14.210 you can use that in any way, Think about small 577 00:48:14.489 --> 00:48:20.289 individual tasks, hands-on, that. 578 00:48:20.150 --> 00:48:24.739 You can perform in front of someone evaluating you and 579 00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:27.800 have a bunch of them. Do this, now do this, 580 00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:34.489 now do this, now do this. That's POT, Performance Oriented Training, 581 00:48:34.530 --> 00:48:38.530 and that's your prepper tip for the day. And this 582 00:48:38.670 --> 00:48:41.690 tip is going to be kind of out of the ordinary, 583 00:48:42.150 --> 00:48:45.739 but it is a good prepper tip just the same. 584 00:48:46.500 --> 00:48:51.920 Do you have something to keep young minds occupied? Do 585 00:48:53.639 --> 00:48:59.510 you have something that does not require electricity to keep 586 00:49:00.789 --> 00:49:05.769 people busy, busy, busy, busy? Do you have board games 587 00:49:05.929 --> 00:49:11.050 on hand? Listen, if you have to shelter in place 588 00:49:11.309 --> 00:49:13.739 or spend a long period of time in the house 589 00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:17.889 and there is no electricity, how are you going to 590 00:49:17.969 --> 00:49:22.000 keep those young minds occupied? while you're taking care of 591 00:49:22.059 --> 00:49:30.530 business board games go around yard sales things like that 592 00:49:30.650 --> 00:49:34.849 make sure you check all the pieces sometimes on clearance 593 00:49:35.050 --> 00:49:38.250 at walmart but you need to have on hand some 594 00:49:38.329 --> 00:49:47.769 board games Clue. Risk. Monopoly. Games that young people can 595 00:49:47.849 --> 00:49:53.090 play and not think about what you're doing, and they 596 00:49:53.130 --> 00:49:57.829 can play all by themselves. Set them up. Get them started. 597 00:49:58.349 --> 00:50:03.019 It's like a snowball rolling down the hill. Look, we 598 00:50:03.059 --> 00:50:08.070 started this a long time ago. And for a while, 599 00:50:08.929 --> 00:50:13.929 the kids looked forward to the power going off because 600 00:50:13.969 --> 00:50:15.929 they knew that's when we were going to break the 601 00:50:16.010 --> 00:50:22.230 board games out and play. Now they're a little older and, well, 602 00:50:23.269 --> 00:50:29.230 but family time. Maybe even make a game night. Do 603 00:50:29.289 --> 00:50:31.449 a game night to get them used to it. Train 604 00:50:31.469 --> 00:50:35.210 them so that they know what Monopoly is and how 605 00:50:35.250 --> 00:50:39.269 to play it. or Risk, or any one of the 606 00:50:39.329 --> 00:50:44.429 games that take a while. Even Sorry. You know, Sorry, 607 00:50:44.489 --> 00:50:47.449 where you try, it's kind of like a short version 608 00:50:47.469 --> 00:50:53.110 of Chinese Checkers. You should have them on hand. Take 609 00:50:53.130 --> 00:50:55.730 them out every once in a while. Have a game 610 00:50:55.809 --> 00:50:59.469 night with the family. And prep on. 611 00:51:01.699 --> 00:51:03.449 PPN Family, it's time. 612 00:51:05.860 --> 00:51:07.699 For the prepper tip of the day. 613 00:51:10.480 --> 00:51:13.800 Hello PBNers and our fellow listeners. This is Jay Ferg 614 00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:17.250 with Phoenix Survival and your prepper tip of the day. 615 00:51:18.190 --> 00:51:20.010 Do you ever not know what to do with that 616 00:51:20.110 --> 00:51:22.889 lint that's building up from your dryer? And instead of 617 00:51:22.949 --> 00:51:24.969 just throwing it away, did you know you can actually 618 00:51:25.150 --> 00:51:28.809 use it to make an amazing fire starter? Same goes 619 00:51:28.829 --> 00:51:31.760 with the shredded paper you have in that shredder. All 620 00:51:31.780 --> 00:51:33.960 of that is a reusable source that you can use 621 00:51:33.980 --> 00:51:36.070 to easily start a fire and keep it in your 622 00:51:36.090 --> 00:51:38.590 bag as a bomb starter or a fire starter, as 623 00:51:38.630 --> 00:51:41.050 we like to call it. This is a huge shout 624 00:51:41.110 --> 00:51:43.269 out and thank you to Melinda Lee because she actually 625 00:51:43.309 --> 00:51:46.070 taught me how to make these several years ago. So 626 00:51:46.139 --> 00:51:48.940 I'd like to pass this tip on to you. Now, 627 00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:51.239 what do you do? You can use something as simple 628 00:51:51.539 --> 00:51:56.440 as old broken crayons for you parents out there, old candles. 629 00:51:56.929 --> 00:52:00.340 or wax from like the, the wax burners with the 630 00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:02.260 excess that you don't know what to do with, that 631 00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:05.079 you pour back into the base. You can melt that down. 632 00:52:05.579 --> 00:52:07.619 You can pour it on that paper or on a 633 00:52:07.699 --> 00:52:10.849 cotton ball or that dryer lint and make them into 634 00:52:11.110 --> 00:52:15.090 a wax soaked, soaked fire starter. And it makes it 635 00:52:15.309 --> 00:52:18.389 so much easier. Now, the way Melinda Lee taught me 636 00:52:18.469 --> 00:52:23.550 was with taking old crayons, um, shredded paper and the 637 00:52:23.610 --> 00:52:26.170 little ketchup cups or condiment cups that you can get 638 00:52:26.250 --> 00:52:29.010 from mcdonald's so think about that and give it a 639 00:52:29.050 --> 00:52:31.510 try tell me what you think and for our listeners 640 00:52:32.030 --> 00:52:34.170 there is going to be a members only tutorial so 641 00:52:34.349 --> 00:52:37.219 i will show you exactly how to make these thank 642 00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:38.480 you folks and have a good day. 643 00:52:38.760 --> 00:52:41.619 Hello everyone out there in internet radio land this is 644 00:52:41.760 --> 00:52:44.699 dave jones the nbc guy boy i have a really 645 00:52:44.860 --> 00:52:47.159 fm voice going on here i don't know what's going 646 00:52:47.219 --> 00:52:50.639 on this morning It's very early. I'm up at the 647 00:52:50.679 --> 00:52:55.420 Jones Homestead very, very early. Some reason I woke up 648 00:52:55.460 --> 00:52:58.219 an hour and a half early. Could not sleep, so 649 00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:00.880 I'm getting ready to go to school. And I thought 650 00:53:00.900 --> 00:53:03.320 I'd do a proper tip of the day. The other 651 00:53:03.360 --> 00:53:08.369 day I did how to detect fallout without a radiac meter. 652 00:53:08.929 --> 00:53:16.349 There is also plans online that you can build like 653 00:53:16.409 --> 00:53:21.139 a dosimeter. out of a mason jar. It's from back 654 00:53:21.219 --> 00:53:26.199 in the 1950s, but it still works. Physics hasn't changed, 655 00:53:26.219 --> 00:53:28.360 so if you want to Google that, you can Google that. 656 00:53:29.059 --> 00:53:33.179 And it detects ionizing radiation, which is exactly what a 657 00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:38.559 dosimeter detects. So you can detect... I don't think you'll 658 00:53:38.579 --> 00:53:42.199 be able to detect how much radiation, but you'll be 659 00:53:42.260 --> 00:53:46.449 able to detect if you're getting radiation. So that's not 660 00:53:46.489 --> 00:53:51.230 the tip, though. I get off on too many tips here. 661 00:53:51.650 --> 00:53:56.889 You're getting extra tips today. The tip today is what 662 00:53:56.909 --> 00:54:02.719 to put in your Faraday cage. Okay? In my presentations, 663 00:54:02.780 --> 00:54:04.780 I tell you how to build a Faraday cage out 664 00:54:04.820 --> 00:54:07.980 of a garbage can, a galvanized steel garbage can. So 665 00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:14.610 a Faraday cage has to be a conductive material and inside, 666 00:54:14.829 --> 00:54:22.539 insulating material. Okay, so a galvanized steel can with foam 667 00:54:22.619 --> 00:54:28.659 rubber on the inside. Okay, and then sealed up with 668 00:54:28.739 --> 00:54:34.989 metal duct tape. You know, the metal duct tape, three 669 00:54:35.050 --> 00:54:37.570 or four inches, so you get a good overlap over 670 00:54:37.610 --> 00:54:43.909 the seals inside and out. And the tip, well, here's 671 00:54:43.929 --> 00:54:47.699 the tip. How do you test your Faraday cage? How 672 00:54:47.719 --> 00:54:49.590 do you test it? How do you know if it's 673 00:54:49.610 --> 00:54:56.409 going to work? Take an AM radio. Tune it to 674 00:54:56.650 --> 00:55:00.150 a talk radio station. Put it in the can. Seal 675 00:55:00.210 --> 00:55:02.449 it up like you would if all your stuff was 676 00:55:02.510 --> 00:55:08.170 in there. And if it goes to static, you know 677 00:55:08.230 --> 00:55:11.030 that it's not picking up a signal. Now that is 678 00:55:11.130 --> 00:55:15.750 a rough way to test your Faraday cage without getting 679 00:55:16.170 --> 00:55:21.260 thousands of dollars worth of equipment, but it will work. 680 00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:24.800 So there you go. I mean, know that a radio 681 00:55:25.320 --> 00:55:29.000 is designed to pick up a specific frequency, and they're 682 00:55:29.059 --> 00:55:35.280 broadcasting constant and steady at a certain wattage in your area. 683 00:55:35.360 --> 00:55:43.369 So it will protect against an EMP, So that's how 684 00:55:43.389 --> 00:55:45.510 you know if you've got a good Faraday cage. There's 685 00:55:45.550 --> 00:55:52.030 no holes. And that's my tip. That's my tip. I'll 686 00:55:52.050 --> 00:55:54.340 do another tip on what to put in because this 687 00:55:54.429 --> 00:55:56.659 tip is getting too long. It's three and a half 688 00:55:56.699 --> 00:55:59.260 minutes already. I like to try and keep them around 689 00:55:59.320 --> 00:56:02.280 two minutes. But that is the tip on how to 690 00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:08.199 test your Faraday cage. Take care and prep on. Have 691 00:56:08.300 --> 00:56:13.250 I got a tip for you. How about a BB gun? Yeah, 692 00:56:14.150 --> 00:56:17.119 a BB gun. See, I'm in the office squeaky chair. 693 00:56:19.539 --> 00:56:21.920 If you have a chance to get one of those 694 00:56:22.059 --> 00:56:28.010 pump action air rifles, okay, that shoots BBs or pellets. 695 00:56:29.360 --> 00:56:32.659 you should try and get one inexpensively. You can get 696 00:56:32.679 --> 00:56:36.179 them at yard sales and stuff like that, $ 10, but 697 00:56:36.199 --> 00:56:38.139 you've got to pump them up and see that they work. 698 00:56:39.059 --> 00:56:45.699 These things are powerful enough to kill small game. Very quiet, okay? 699 00:56:46.469 --> 00:56:50.090 Won't use up your ammo. You can get tons of 700 00:56:50.150 --> 00:56:54.909 BBs for pennies, and you can reuse them if you 701 00:56:54.949 --> 00:57:03.380 find them. So, why not? Why not? And, yeah, and 702 00:57:03.420 --> 00:57:08.340 it's a good thing to practice with. You know, side alignment, 703 00:57:08.460 --> 00:57:15.840 trigger control, not so much trajectory. So, PBN family, have 704 00:57:15.900 --> 00:57:21.880 a BB gun or two. They come in handy, and 705 00:57:21.900 --> 00:57:24.760 you never know when you might need one. So, take care. 706 00:57:25.360 --> 00:57:31.420 Prep on. PBN family, if you ever wondered how you 707 00:57:31.480 --> 00:57:36.610 can easily develop an emergency plan, all you have to 708 00:57:36.679 --> 00:57:40.050 do is ask yourself the question, what if? 709 00:57:41.789 --> 00:57:42.150 Okay? 710 00:57:42.929 --> 00:57:48.590 And keep asking yourself that question until you've come up 711 00:57:48.650 --> 00:57:52.989 with a solution, you know, three or four times in 712 00:57:53.010 --> 00:57:58.639 the making. So what if we lose power? And I 713 00:57:58.679 --> 00:58:02.780 have no heat. Well, then I'll start heating with the 714 00:58:02.840 --> 00:58:07.699 wood stove.

Figure out who you can count on, who 750 01:01:09.699 --> 01:01:17.050 you can't count on, and start introducing yourself and letting 751 01:01:17.130 --> 01:01:20.250 them know who you are and what you do and 752 01:01:20.309 --> 01:01:30.530 do it now. Because... Listen to my Freak Out Friday 753 01:01:32.260 --> 01:01:36.030 daily audio cache if you want to know why. But, 754 01:01:36.250 --> 01:01:39.949 you know, open to conversation, maybe like Marie and I did. 755 01:01:40.670 --> 01:01:44.170 We baked bread and we took it to the neighbors 756 01:01:45.010 --> 01:01:50.710 and we introduced ourselves. And everybody on the mountain here 757 01:01:50.769 --> 01:01:56.150 knows we're preppers, knows what our political leanings are. And 758 01:01:56.230 --> 01:01:59.429 half the people are for Trump. And half the people 759 01:01:59.659 --> 01:02:03.639 are not for Trump. And I don't know if that 760 01:02:03.719 --> 01:02:09.519 even changed. I don't know. Because, geez, it was COVID. 761 01:02:10.820 --> 01:02:14.119 COVID didn't put us away from each other. It just 762 01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:21.360 changed things. And we had a big party up on 763 01:02:21.420 --> 01:02:25.039 top of the mountain at the old man's place. That 764 01:02:25.079 --> 01:02:29.260 was the 4th of July celebration during COVID when they 765 01:02:29.340 --> 01:02:34.130 said don't get together report on your neighbors so what 766 01:02:34.150 --> 01:02:39.889 did the Jones family do we put up three canopies 767 01:02:40.610 --> 01:02:48.900 and cooked oh my gosh gyros shawarmas we did we 768 01:02:48.940 --> 01:02:52.380 put on like a catering for the neighborhood and we 769 01:02:52.420 --> 01:02:55.539 just said come listen to music have a good time 770 01:02:56.039 --> 01:03:00.239 enjoy the view, and then we set off fireworks. So 771 01:03:02.300 --> 01:03:05.119 you got to do that kind of stuff, PBN family. 772 01:03:05.139 --> 01:03:07.909 You got to get out of your comfort zone. You 773 01:03:07.949 --> 01:03:11.690 got to figure out right now who's in your block, 774 01:03:11.789 --> 01:03:16.969 who's in your cul-de-sac, who's on your mountain that you 775 01:03:16.989 --> 01:03:20.440 can count on, and you got to let them in. 776 01:03:20.880 --> 01:03:24.019 You got to say, hey, this is my plan. And 777 01:03:24.320 --> 01:03:28.500 I had a neighbor say, well, I'm not getting a generator. 778 01:03:28.519 --> 01:03:30.639 I'm just going to come over to your house. And 779 01:03:30.699 --> 01:03:34.920 the look I gave him, I think he realized that 780 01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:39.980 was the wrong answer. And about two months later, he 781 01:03:40.019 --> 01:03:45.179 got his own generator. Just saying. Just saying. 782 01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:48.719 Yeah. Yeah. 783 01:03:49.710 --> 01:03:52.829 You got to put yourself out there. You're going to 784 01:03:52.869 --> 01:03:57.480 be the leader whether you want to or not. So 785 01:03:57.579 --> 01:04:02.440 why not make the contacts now before you have the 786 01:04:02.559 --> 01:04:08.590 stress of SHTF on you and you're trying to make 787 01:04:08.630 --> 01:04:13.250 those contacts with that in the background. That is my 788 01:04:13.349 --> 01:04:19.469 prepper tip of the day and you take care. And always, always, 789 01:04:19.690 --> 01:04:22.429 always prep. 790 01:04:24.889 --> 01:04:30.110 On. 791 01:04:34.949 --> 01:04:41.510 Our bodies aren't weak, PBN family. It's our minds. Our 792 01:04:41.550 --> 01:04:48.690 bodies aren't weak. It's our minds. The body adapts. To 793 01:04:48.730 --> 01:04:49.860 whatever you put in front of it. 794 01:04:51.389 --> 01:04:54.809 You have to understand that... What I have to understand 795 01:04:54.849 --> 01:04:55.329 about you. 796 01:04:57.730 --> 01:04:58.369 Is that.... 797 01:04:59.750 --> 01:05:07.559 Whatever fitness... You inherit... Whatever inspiration you find... Whatever gets 798 01:05:07.639 --> 01:05:13.059 the blood pumping... The body moving... Is yours... And it's 799 01:05:13.099 --> 01:05:16.289 your fitness... Now I can do our prep or fit 800 01:05:16.329 --> 01:05:18.789 and health... And I can introduce you to my version 801 01:05:18.829 --> 01:05:23.250 of fitness... But what I really want you to guard 802 01:05:23.329 --> 01:05:27.269 against is your mind... Is your mind telling you you can't... 803 01:05:27.889 --> 01:05:31.349 Your mind telling you you're weak... Your mind telling you 804 01:05:32.010 --> 01:05:35.550 it's impossible... Because what I've come to realize over all 805 01:05:35.590 --> 01:05:38.719 these years... And you gotta remember I came from nothing 806 01:05:38.780 --> 01:05:43.840 in terms of physicality... When I started running the track... 807 01:05:44.710 --> 01:05:50.090 At 17 years old or whatever it was. 18. I 808 01:05:50.670 --> 01:05:57.070 was coming from zero fitness. I mean zero. Failing gym fitness. 809 01:05:57.389 --> 01:06:04.960 You know what I mean? Purposeful laziness. And my body learned. 810 01:06:05.440 --> 01:06:07.179 And then it learned. And then it learned. And it 811 01:06:07.239 --> 01:06:11.360 got injured. And it learned. And it adapted. And it changed. 812 01:06:11.960 --> 01:06:16.289 And the whole time this was happening. My weak mind 813 01:06:16.369 --> 01:06:20.309 was always telling me to stop and always telling me 814 01:06:20.349 --> 01:06:23.050 to stop to this day. You know what I mean? 815 01:06:25.289 --> 01:06:28.710 My body recovered from illness, pretty bad illness for me. 816 01:06:29.369 --> 01:06:33.989 I'm still coughing, still hocking up nonsense, right? Still hocking 817 01:06:34.030 --> 01:06:40.969 up spiked protein, still hocking up mRNA. And, you know, 818 01:06:41.829 --> 01:06:46.239 I'm in this situation, man, where like, It's just ever 819 01:06:46.320 --> 01:06:49.949 clear now that the mind is the key. 820 01:06:51.309 --> 01:06:51.469 Right? 821 01:06:51.489 --> 01:06:53.570 You have to defeat the mind. The mind will tell 822 01:06:53.590 --> 01:06:55.650 you the body isn't good enough. The body can't get 823 01:06:55.690 --> 01:06:57.210 it done. The body's too old. 824 01:06:58.190 --> 01:06:58.409 Right? 825 01:07:00.550 --> 01:07:03.739 I'm going to leave you with this. Because it's not 826 01:07:03.760 --> 01:07:06.219 your body that's weak. It's your mind. And you have 827 01:07:06.260 --> 01:07:10.440 to conquer the mind and the body will adapt. And also, 828 01:07:10.780 --> 01:07:13.579 if the body has adapted to your homesteading routine, to 829 01:07:13.619 --> 01:07:19.409 your Whatever your walks at night. Whatever your fitness is. Listen. 830 01:07:20.449 --> 01:07:24.179 I listen to Marvel comics when I work out. I 831 01:07:24.219 --> 01:07:28.219 listen to Warhammer stories when I work out. Right? There 832 01:07:28.280 --> 01:07:31.960 is no shame in inspiration. There is no shame in 833 01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:36.980 where you draw your fitness from. Understand that. You know 834 01:07:37.000 --> 01:07:39.280 what I mean? It doesn't have to be throwing kettlebells around. 835 01:07:39.619 --> 01:07:42.260 It doesn't have to be hitting a heavy bag. These 836 01:07:42.300 --> 01:07:45.039 are just things I like to do because I'm playing pretend. 837 01:07:45.639 --> 01:07:49.239 Don't you get it? My buddy told me years ago, 838 01:07:49.300 --> 01:07:52.619 he said, when you bench press, you think you're Goku 839 01:07:53.079 --> 01:07:55.909 pushing away an energy ball. And I laughed about it. 840 01:07:58.489 --> 01:07:59.989 But he knew he was right and I knew he 841 01:08:00.030 --> 01:08:04.929 was right. So there's no shame in it, dude. You 842 01:08:04.949 --> 01:08:05.349 know what I mean? 843 01:08:07.360 --> 01:08:07.739 But.... 844 01:08:09.179 --> 01:08:12.710 My girl Lola, my oldest girl, my oldest dog, she's 845 01:08:12.710 --> 01:08:16.149 15 years old. She threw her hip out the other night. 846 01:08:16.449 --> 01:08:19.090 We thought it was over. We thought it was over. 847 01:08:19.109 --> 01:08:25.140 We said, well, she can't walk. She's 15. And you 848 01:08:25.180 --> 01:08:29.859 know what? The more she walks, the better she's walking. 849 01:08:30.479 --> 01:08:33.319 You know why? Because her brain is super tough. Her 850 01:08:33.359 --> 01:08:35.560 brain doesn't have all this human in it telling her 851 01:08:35.600 --> 01:08:38.829 she can't. She just wants to go, and she goes. 852 01:08:39.029 --> 01:08:43.079 And every day now, she's getting stronger again. She's figuring 853 01:08:43.159 --> 01:08:45.359 out how to deal with this body that she has, 854 01:08:45.439 --> 01:08:48.140 and she's back walking again. And I'm telling you, PBN family, 855 01:08:49.800 --> 01:08:53.310 the mind is weak, not the body. I'll talk to 856 01:08:53.329 --> 01:08:53.670 you soon. 857 01:08:58.770 --> 01:08:59.939 Thank you. 858 01:09:06.550 --> 01:09:09.770 Okay, PBN family, this is a tip, a tip, a 859 01:09:09.850 --> 01:09:14.069 prepper tip of the day. I don't have the tip music, but, 860 01:09:14.489 --> 01:09:17.329 you know, a tip's a tip. So I got this 861 01:09:17.829 --> 01:09:22.109 from listening to James last night, and he had a 862 01:09:22.210 --> 01:09:25.789 shooter on, a competitive shooter. This is an easy way 863 01:09:25.949 --> 01:09:33.409 to determine if you're proficient, okay? No bullets required. If 864 01:09:33.489 --> 01:09:42.630 you are looking at your weapon to load, unload, change magazines, draw, 865 01:09:43.670 --> 01:09:48.609 do anything, you are not proficient. You have to be 866 01:09:48.720 --> 01:09:52.239 able to do things without looking, with your eyes closed 867 01:09:52.619 --> 01:09:56.420 in the complete darkness. This comes from a background of 868 01:09:56.539 --> 01:10:00.000 police training when I was a state trooper. We did it. 869 01:10:00.619 --> 01:10:05.020 So you didn't do anything with your dominant hand, with 870 01:10:05.060 --> 01:10:09.560 your drawing hand. Okay? This is the next level up. 871 01:10:09.689 --> 01:10:14.470 If you can do everything you do without looking, without 872 01:10:14.569 --> 01:10:17.550 looking at it or looking down, if you look down, 873 01:10:17.590 --> 01:10:22.689 you're dead. Even if you can't return fire, you can 874 01:10:22.770 --> 01:10:26.600 react to whatever that bad guy's doing if you're looking 875 01:10:26.739 --> 01:10:29.939 at him. If you're not looking at him... He can 876 01:10:29.979 --> 01:10:32.800 do whatever he wants and you won't see it coming. 877 01:10:33.220 --> 01:10:36.939 So you have to do it without looking. Next, you 878 01:10:36.979 --> 01:10:41.159 have to do it one-handed. And next, after that, you 879 01:10:41.239 --> 01:10:46.159 have to do it with your weak hand. Okay? So 880 01:10:46.229 --> 01:10:49.329 that is a way that you can determine your level 881 01:10:50.029 --> 01:10:54.930 of preparedness without even firing a bullet. That is the 882 01:10:54.989 --> 01:10:58.449 prepper tip of the day. Take care and prep on. 883 01:10:59.590 --> 01:11:05.789 Pbn family it's time for the prepper tip of the day. 884 01:11:08.930 --> 01:11:11.270 Pbn family today's prepper tip is brought to you by 885 01:11:11.329 --> 01:11:14.909 pack fresh usa everything i'm about to talk about you 886 01:11:14.949 --> 01:11:20.090 can can be had at packfreshusa.com our great sponsor check 887 01:11:20.109 --> 01:11:26.350 them out we're talking food storage Perhaps my favorite prepping 888 01:11:26.390 --> 01:11:29.970 topic in all of prepping lore and yore and so on. 889 01:11:32.170 --> 01:11:39.189 Five gallon buckets, oxygen absorbers, mylar bags.

And I was... 899 01:12:11.350 --> 01:12:13.159 You know... That's what I was into... That's what I 900 01:12:13.180 --> 01:12:13.560 was doing. 901 01:12:15.840 --> 01:12:16.100 And... I. 902 01:12:17.619 --> 01:12:23.149 Realized that... Storing food in one gallon bag... If you're 903 01:12:23.180 --> 01:12:27.500 going to actually use the food storage, storing food in 904 01:12:27.520 --> 01:12:30.840 a one-gallon bag, you can fit about three one-gallon bags 905 01:12:30.880 --> 01:12:35.840 into a five-gallon bucket. So you might be thinking to yourself, well, 906 01:12:36.079 --> 01:12:40.100 I'm not getting the efficiency out of the bucket. Hang 907 01:12:40.159 --> 01:12:44.319 on a minute. I take a rice, I take a 908 01:12:44.340 --> 01:12:46.460 black bean, I take a pinto bean, I stuff them 909 01:12:46.520 --> 01:12:50.819 into a bucket. One mylar bag, one gallon of rice, 910 01:12:51.159 --> 01:12:53.979 one mylar bag of Black beans, one miler bag of 911 01:12:54.020 --> 01:13:00.310 pinto beans, right? Into the bucket. Now, for stockpiling long-term 912 01:13:00.350 --> 01:13:04.090 of foods, like a food storage stockpile that you're never 913 01:13:04.109 --> 01:13:06.770 going to touch, I wouldn't do it this way. But 914 01:13:06.789 --> 01:13:10.770 that's not how I do business. What I don't have 915 01:13:10.810 --> 01:13:13.409 to do, because I do it this way, is I 916 01:13:13.449 --> 01:13:17.630 don't have to get more than one bucket to make 917 01:13:17.710 --> 01:13:20.430 rice and beans. I don't have to get multitudes of buckets... 918 01:13:22.229 --> 01:13:27.449 To pool ingredients. Right. I do a. Two flour one 919 01:13:27.529 --> 01:13:28.800 sugar bucket. The same way. 920 01:13:30.180 --> 01:13:30.359 Right. 921 01:13:30.479 --> 01:13:35.340 I do two. One gallon bags of flour. And one 922 01:13:35.420 --> 01:13:39.640 one gallon bag of sugar. And it gives you the 923 01:13:39.699 --> 01:13:42.909 ability to. Add variety to the bucket. So when you 924 01:13:42.930 --> 01:13:45.989 pull the bucket down. When you bring the bucket out. 925 01:13:47.829 --> 01:13:49.250 You can do more than one thing out of it. 926 01:13:49.550 --> 01:13:49.689 Right. 927 01:13:51.579 --> 01:13:54.039 In fact, I've done buckets in the past that have 928 01:13:54.079 --> 01:13:59.829 been one gallon sugar, one gallon flour, one gallon Bisquick. And, 929 01:14:01.369 --> 01:14:03.550 you know, you can almost make dinner out of that 930 01:14:03.609 --> 01:14:07.949 bucket with a few added ingredients. You know what I mean? 931 01:14:07.970 --> 01:14:11.050 If you know what you're doing. But that's the way 932 01:14:11.069 --> 01:14:13.350 that I pack five gallon buckets. I have very few. 933 01:14:13.949 --> 01:14:18.010 I've never made a five gallon bucket with a five 934 01:14:18.069 --> 01:14:20.529 gallon Mylar bag in it. I've bought things that are 935 01:14:20.550 --> 01:14:22.840 filled that way. But I don't buy a lot of 936 01:14:22.859 --> 01:14:25.939 food storage. I make the vast majority of our food storage. So, 937 01:14:26.510 --> 01:14:29.510 you know, if you want to get into rotating your 938 01:14:29.550 --> 01:14:34.609 food storage and you're thinking to yourself, what a pain 939 01:14:34.649 --> 01:14:38.689 it would be if I need flour and sugar and 940 01:14:39.270 --> 01:14:43.640 macaroni and, you know, whatever else. I got to grab 941 01:14:43.779 --> 01:14:47.380 four different buckets, pool ingredients out of these four different buckets, 942 01:14:47.600 --> 01:14:49.390 you know, And that's not the only way to do it. 943 01:14:49.390 --> 01:14:51.770 You could also take food out of the Mylar bags 944 01:14:51.829 --> 01:14:54.149 and store them in containers in your pantry and then 945 01:14:54.210 --> 01:14:57.869 seal the Mylar back up. I'm just telling you my 946 01:14:57.970 --> 01:15:01.880 quick prepper tip of the day. Try one gallon Mylar bags. 947 01:15:02.739 --> 01:15:04.859 You can also get them like lots of them for 948 01:15:04.939 --> 01:15:10.619 cheaper than the five gallon. That's probably why I got them. 949 01:15:11.439 --> 01:15:13.140 Maybe it wasn't even a mistake. Maybe it was a 950 01:15:13.199 --> 01:15:16.710 budgetary thing. But anyway, I don't know how much cheaper 951 01:15:16.729 --> 01:15:19.840 they are now. But every penny counts anymore these days because, 952 01:15:19.899 --> 01:15:23.060 you know, you can't even eat a Big Mac without 953 01:15:23.119 --> 01:15:27.529 taking out a loan. But think about it. Give the 954 01:15:27.850 --> 01:15:32.430 one-gallon Mylar bags a try. Put items in the bucket 955 01:15:32.470 --> 01:15:35.210 that make sense. Put items in the bucket that make 956 01:15:35.250 --> 01:15:39.989 a meal. You know, you could, in theory, craft buckets 957 01:15:40.029 --> 01:15:43.270 that are almost meals. I haven't gone that far, but 958 01:15:43.289 --> 01:15:45.670 that would be a pretty cool thing to figure. You 959 01:15:45.689 --> 01:15:48.930 know what I mean? All right. That is the Prepper 960 01:15:48.949 --> 01:15:51.149 Tip of the Day, folks. Thank you for joining us. 961 01:15:52.390 --> 01:15:54.630 PBN Family, it's time. 962 01:15:56.529 --> 01:15:58.369 For the Prepper Tip of the Day. 963 01:16:02.510 --> 01:16:07.590 PBN Family, today's tip is brought to you by LimaTangoSurvival.com. 964 01:16:08.130 --> 01:16:13.470 Check them out for the best backpacks, pre-made, pre-built, bug-out bags, go-bags, 965 01:16:14.210 --> 01:16:19.289 whatever you want to call it bag on the market. limatangosurvival.com. 966 01:16:19.710 --> 01:16:24.329 Give them a shot. I want to talk off-body CCW 967 01:16:24.369 --> 01:16:27.149 today because it really is one of the preps that 968 01:16:27.909 --> 01:16:31.220 I talk about from time to time, but it really 969 01:16:31.260 --> 01:16:37.039 has made gun ownership and concealed carry fundamentally viable for me. 970 01:16:37.899 --> 01:16:39.579 I don't know that it would work for me in 971 01:16:39.600 --> 01:16:41.680 the way that I want it to work if I 972 01:16:41.720 --> 01:16:44.520 didn't carry off-body sometimes. I don't know how many people 973 01:16:44.560 --> 01:16:48.520 carry off-body. And what I mean by that is just. 974 01:16:49.960 --> 01:16:52.520 Not on your... Not on a holster on your body. 975 01:16:53.939 --> 01:16:59.380 You know, there's crossbody packs. There's backpacks. There's... You know, 976 01:16:59.680 --> 01:17:04.329 fanny packs. There's... I use sling bags almost exclusively. They're 977 01:17:04.350 --> 01:17:08.350 my favorite for day-to-day stuff. If I'm... And the sling 978 01:17:08.390 --> 01:17:11.810 bag for me is... More than just a concealed carry option. 979 01:17:11.829 --> 01:17:11.970 But. 980 01:17:13.390 --> 01:17:19.199 It's... It gives you the ability... to... Well, it gives 981 01:17:19.220 --> 01:17:20.939 you all kinds of abilities. I mean, it gives you 982 01:17:20.970 --> 01:17:23.449 the ability to not have a gun on your person 983 01:17:23.550 --> 01:17:25.989 should you need to go to a place where, you know, 984 01:17:26.329 --> 01:17:29.210 you can't go with a gun. For me, that's school 985 01:17:29.350 --> 01:17:33.689 almost every day. Right? Now, truth be told, I could 986 01:17:33.729 --> 01:17:36.069 wander onto the schoolyard with the gun on my hip. 987 01:17:36.109 --> 01:17:39.069 No one would be... None the wiser, right? Alarm's not 988 01:17:39.090 --> 01:17:42.189 going to go off. Nobody's going to get hurt. It's 989 01:17:42.220 --> 01:17:47.840 a non-issue, right? But, you know... to follow the rules 990 01:17:47.899 --> 01:17:49.760 to do the right thing to show your kids that 991 01:17:49.779 --> 01:17:51.539 you're doing the right thing and that kind of stuff 992 01:17:51.619 --> 01:17:56.180 having a concealed carry weapon carried off body is uh 993 01:17:56.920 --> 01:17:58.439 it's an easy way to sort of shift in and 994 01:17:58.500 --> 01:18:00.939 out of those kind of scenarios right maybe you go 995 01:18:00.979 --> 01:18:03.449 to a workplace maybe you go to this that the 996 01:18:03.510 --> 01:18:06.989 other thing whatever it is um and you don't want 997 01:18:07.029 --> 01:18:10.789 to have the gun on your purse the reason that 998 01:18:10.829 --> 01:18:14.149 i think off body concealed carry is such a big 999 01:18:14.189 --> 01:18:19.550 difference maker Is because we err on the side of 1000 01:18:19.619 --> 01:18:23.189 comfort and convenience. That's what the human animal does. And 1001 01:18:23.210 --> 01:18:25.989 I feel like people leave a gun. I feel like 1002 01:18:26.029 --> 01:18:28.289 people say, I'll carry the gun after work. I'll carry 1003 01:18:28.329 --> 01:18:30.199 the gun once I get home and get all this done. 1004 01:18:30.220 --> 01:18:34.640 I'll carry, you know what I mean? Off-body concealed carry 1005 01:18:34.680 --> 01:18:39.649 is also great when you are not wearing as many clothes. 1006 01:18:41.359 --> 01:18:43.720 So if you're doing a thing like one of the 1007 01:18:43.760 --> 01:18:49.109 most common ways I off-body concealed carry is fishing. Like 1008 01:18:49.210 --> 01:18:51.000 I don't want to walk around. I don't want to 1009 01:18:51.020 --> 01:18:53.600 get my gun wet. Sometimes I'm waist deep in water fishing. 1010 01:18:54.020 --> 01:18:55.800 You know, I don't want to have my gun underwater, 1011 01:18:55.859 --> 01:18:57.380 all that kind of stuff. I put it in the 1012 01:18:57.420 --> 01:18:59.390 sling bag. I can take my shirt off if it's 1013 01:18:59.430 --> 01:19:02.369 a hot day. I don't have some gun tucked in 1014 01:19:02.409 --> 01:19:04.689 my waistband. Not that, you know, I'm running into a 1015 01:19:04.729 --> 01:19:06.289 bunch of people, but just the whole the whole thing 1016 01:19:07.850 --> 01:19:11.439 off body. I can leave the bag. If I'm going 1017 01:19:11.460 --> 01:19:12.979 in a real deep hole, I can hold the bag 1018 01:19:13.039 --> 01:19:15.550 up over my head and cross the river. I can, 1019 01:19:15.729 --> 01:19:17.989 you know, all kinds of things. I don't have to 1020 01:19:18.029 --> 01:19:20.130 cross the river with a handgun in my hand. 1021 01:19:20.409 --> 01:19:20.710 You know, I. 1022 01:19:22.970 --> 01:19:30.060 Try getting looks. It's not just about following rules. Sometimes 1023 01:19:30.100 --> 01:19:33.779 it's about practicality. Sometimes it just gives you another option. 1024 01:19:34.539 --> 01:19:37.789 You should have a bag. You should have some way 1025 01:19:37.909 --> 01:19:43.029 of carrying your firearm off body to give you that 1026 01:19:43.149 --> 01:19:47.869 sort of flexibility. Do you know what I mean? Which 1027 01:19:47.930 --> 01:19:50.770 it will. If it turns into you carrying the gun 1028 01:19:50.829 --> 01:19:52.880 more often, then it's a win. 1029 01:19:53.659 --> 01:19:53.880 Right? 1030 01:19:54.899 --> 01:19:57.220 If it turns into you carrying the weapon more often, 1031 01:19:57.260 --> 01:20:01.100 more regularly, you're more regularly armed and protected, then it's 1032 01:20:01.140 --> 01:20:01.420 a win. 1033 01:20:01.439 --> 01:20:02.000 Okay? 1034 01:20:02.180 --> 01:20:05.420 The only other part of that tip is... You've got 1035 01:20:05.439 --> 01:20:08.560 to find a bag where your gun can fit safely. 1036 01:20:08.579 --> 01:20:11.399 It doesn't have to be a special concealed carry compartment 1037 01:20:11.659 --> 01:20:16.850 designed just for people to be able to carry their 1038 01:20:16.890 --> 01:20:19.869 firearm in just this way, in just this special CCW 1039 01:20:19.909 --> 01:20:25.689 secret hidden pocket. It's not really necessary, but you do 1040 01:20:25.750 --> 01:20:29.489 need something along those lines. I carry mine in the 1041 01:20:29.550 --> 01:20:31.329 back of a fishing bag, in a small pocket in 1042 01:20:31.350 --> 01:20:36.560 a fishing bag right now, in a holster. And it's perfect, right? 1043 01:20:36.939 --> 01:20:39.100 It's perfect. The bag is very easy to get to. 1044 01:20:39.119 --> 01:20:41.840 Or the gun, rather, is very easy to get to. 1045 01:20:41.880 --> 01:20:44.039 The sling bag shifts from the back of my body 1046 01:20:44.060 --> 01:20:46.500 to the front of my body. Boom. Got access just 1047 01:20:46.579 --> 01:20:52.340 a zipper away. And obviously you've got to practice, right? 1048 01:20:52.359 --> 01:20:54.619 You've got to practice taking that gun out from that 1049 01:20:54.680 --> 01:20:59.050 pocket so that you're proficient with it. Get yourself an 1050 01:20:59.239 --> 01:21:03.109 off-body concealed carry option, okay, folks? I think that's important. 1051 01:21:04.369 --> 01:21:04.930 Talk to you soon. 1052 01:21:06.039 --> 01:21:12.020 PBN Family, it's time for the Prepper Tip of the Day. 1053 01:21:15.890 --> 01:21:18.489 PBN Family, today's Prepper Tip is brought to you by 1054 01:21:18.529 --> 01:21:23.029 the Prepper's Medical Handbook.

Hip waders. Most 1061 01:21:51.439 --> 01:21:55.220 of my life I spent in the fall time in 1062 01:21:55.279 --> 01:21:58.340 hip waders. Sometimes in the springtime when the water was cold. 1063 01:21:58.439 --> 01:22:02.510 Fly fishing. So I always had hip waders, and this 1064 01:22:02.550 --> 01:22:04.210 is the reason I always had hip waders. But what 1065 01:22:04.250 --> 01:22:10.229 I found in emergency preparedness, the year of the flood here, 2025, 1066 01:22:10.229 --> 01:22:14.409 is that hip waders do a hell of a good 1067 01:22:14.520 --> 01:22:18.939 job when you're dealing with issues with high water. You 1068 01:22:18.960 --> 01:22:20.840 know what I mean? The water reaches a point where 1069 01:22:20.880 --> 01:22:24.460 you have to retrieve something. Maybe the water has risen 1070 01:22:24.539 --> 01:22:26.800 to an area that you weren't expecting, and you've got 1071 01:22:26.819 --> 01:22:29.569 to go fix something. You know, we had a fence 1072 01:22:29.710 --> 01:22:35.270 washed out one time from rising water. And flood water 1073 01:22:35.350 --> 01:22:39.079 is gross. Flood water is nasty. Flood water does all 1074 01:22:39.199 --> 01:22:42.060 kinds of things. You know, it really does. One time 1075 01:22:42.079 --> 01:22:46.760 I had to run into the flood water the same 1076 01:22:46.800 --> 01:22:49.729 year that the fence broke. Really the worst flood we've 1077 01:22:49.770 --> 01:22:52.310 ever had. And I had to run into the flood 1078 01:22:52.350 --> 01:22:54.609 water because my dog was swimming out of the yard. 1079 01:22:56.090 --> 01:23:00.000 So I went out there. I ran into... One of 1080 01:23:00.039 --> 01:23:05.460 those floating... Groups of ants. Like one of them floating like... 1081 01:23:05.319 --> 01:23:08.350 I don't know if you know when an ant's nest... 1082 01:23:09.010 --> 01:23:12.069 Gets flooded out. They'll like gather together and float together 1083 01:23:12.109 --> 01:23:16.630 to restart. And I got eaten alive by these ants. 1084 01:23:17.890 --> 01:23:18.489 It was terrible. 1085 01:23:19.109 --> 01:23:19.409 You know? 1086 01:23:19.789 --> 01:23:24.699 Hip waders... Gives you the ability... To go... Trudge through 1087 01:23:24.760 --> 01:23:28.880 some stuff that really sucks... And, you know, you can 1088 01:23:28.939 --> 01:23:31.779 tie your shoes up and hang them over your neck, 1089 01:23:32.300 --> 01:23:34.840 put them in your backpack, even if they're your hiking 1090 01:23:34.899 --> 01:23:38.100 boots and they're waterproof. Like, just because your boots are 1091 01:23:38.119 --> 01:23:40.369 waterproof doesn't mean you want to get them soaked, right? 1092 01:23:41.170 --> 01:23:44.430 But hip waders, when you're dealing with high water, particularly 1093 01:23:44.449 --> 01:23:47.430 at home or maybe even camping or something along those lines, 1094 01:23:47.890 --> 01:23:51.130 they give you the ability to create a barrier between 1095 01:23:51.170 --> 01:23:54.029 you and that flood water for whatever kind of stuff 1096 01:23:54.050 --> 01:23:55.430 you have to deal with outside. 1097 01:23:55.489 --> 01:23:56.050 You know what I mean? 1098 01:23:57.000 --> 01:24:00.840 And they've been invaluable to me. When the waters rise. 1099 01:24:00.880 --> 01:24:02.619 And there's things. Oh I got to go grab that thing. 1100 01:24:02.689 --> 01:24:04.350 Or oh the water is coming up here. Or oh 1101 01:24:04.390 --> 01:24:06.489 the chickens. The chickens are in the back of the yard. 1102 01:24:06.510 --> 01:24:09.130 Their coop is going under. I'm going to move it. 1103 01:24:09.470 --> 01:24:11.869 You know what I mean. And rather than run back there. 1104 01:24:11.909 --> 01:24:16.109 And stand in running water. Or standing water or whatever. 1105 01:24:16.130 --> 01:24:18.710 You throw the hip waders on. You go out there 1106 01:24:18.750 --> 01:24:20.390 into that water. And do the thing that needs to 1107 01:24:20.430 --> 01:24:25.520 be done. And yeah. They're affordable. They're a great option. 1108 01:24:26.060 --> 01:24:28.079 And then you know. When trout season comes, you can 1109 01:24:28.100 --> 01:24:29.779 put them on and go fish the mountains in the 1110 01:24:29.840 --> 01:24:36.560 wintertime and fly fish like some magical fly fisherman in 1111 01:24:36.579 --> 01:24:42.100 the highlands. Hip waders. Think about it. Talk to you soon, folks. 1112 01:24:44.279 --> 01:24:48.119 Your get-home bag or your get-home kit. 1113 01:24:57.319 --> 01:25:03.600 Should mirror the distance. It should look a lot like 1114 01:25:03.779 --> 01:25:06.680 the distance. It should be there to accommodate the distance 1115 01:25:06.739 --> 01:25:10.399 and the terrain that you have to cover. You see 1116 01:25:10.500 --> 01:25:14.560 a get-home bag, or you hear the word get-home bag, 1117 01:25:14.619 --> 01:25:17.789 which is a popular term in the prepper world, and 1118 01:25:17.850 --> 01:25:22.069 automatically you assume, like any rational person would, oh, I 1119 01:25:22.109 --> 01:25:24.090 need a bag. I need a bag full of stuff 1120 01:25:24.710 --> 01:25:28.539 because I'm making a get-home bag. But what I came 1121 01:25:28.579 --> 01:25:31.979 to realize, I don't know, nine, eight, nine years ago, 1122 01:25:32.020 --> 01:25:36.359 something like that now, is a get-home bag is a hindrance. 1123 01:25:37.399 --> 01:25:39.420 For where I was working, the terrain I'd have to 1124 01:25:39.460 --> 01:25:43.079 cover to get home, the things I actually would need, right? 1125 01:25:44.010 --> 01:25:48.010 In other words, if you have a get-home bag with 1126 01:25:48.050 --> 01:25:53.130 a folding saw in it, and you're traversing, you know, suburban, 1127 01:25:53.310 --> 01:25:56.029 urban sprawl for 10 miles. 1128 01:25:57.920 --> 01:26:00.439 On foot, this is your get home, you know, operation, 1129 01:26:02.819 --> 01:26:06.439 leave the saw, right? The folding saw is not going 1130 01:26:06.460 --> 01:26:11.140 to serve you. You're not going to be building a shelter. 1131 01:26:11.600 --> 01:26:16.840 You're not going to be cutting firewood, pardon me, in 1132 01:26:16.899 --> 01:26:22.760 order to execute on your get home operation. The goal 1133 01:26:22.800 --> 01:26:24.840 is very straightforward with a get home kit or a 1134 01:26:24.880 --> 01:26:26.859 get home bag. Unlike a bug out bag that could 1135 01:26:26.890 --> 01:26:31.609 be a little more you know, a little more. With 1136 01:26:31.630 --> 01:26:34.899 the get-home kit or the get-home bag, you really are 1137 01:26:35.109 --> 01:26:38.619 whittling down. You know, the bug-out bag mentality always seems 1138 01:26:38.680 --> 01:26:42.399 like pile as much stuff in a bag as possible. 1139 01:26:42.899 --> 01:26:44.359 And a lot of that has to do with the 1140 01:26:44.760 --> 01:26:47.359 God's honest truth that, you know, people make a lot 1141 01:26:47.399 --> 01:26:50.199 of money selling bug-out bags, whether or not they work 1142 01:26:50.239 --> 01:26:57.640 or not. The get-home kit, the get-home bag, is about you, 1143 01:26:57.859 --> 01:27:02.369 it's about your distance, and your terrain, okay, so, so 1144 01:27:02.630 --> 01:27:06.250 where are you going, how are you getting there, and so, 1145 01:27:08.789 --> 01:27:13.359 if you're under 20 miles, the least amount of gear 1146 01:27:13.399 --> 01:27:15.699 you can carry, the better, you know, if you're under 1147 01:27:15.699 --> 01:27:22.109 20 miles, and you, you know, you're not traversing some 1148 01:27:22.149 --> 01:27:23.829 kind of crazy, like, you're not, you don't have to 1149 01:27:24.279 --> 01:27:27.000 avoid the highways and go through marsh or something crazy 1150 01:27:27.060 --> 01:27:28.850 like that but if you're covering you know like a 1151 01:27:28.890 --> 01:27:36.270 lot of people are urban suburban terrain god sorry i'm 1152 01:27:36.289 --> 01:27:40.680 laughing because i my my vehicle right has a has 1153 01:27:40.760 --> 01:27:44.899 a uh a magnet in it that causes trains to 1154 01:27:44.939 --> 01:27:46.500 come no matter where i go if i'm near a 1155 01:27:46.560 --> 01:27:49.079 train track then the train will be like sucked into 1156 01:27:49.140 --> 01:27:53.880 my presence So keep that in mind, folks. That is 1157 01:27:53.939 --> 01:27:57.550 my prepper tip of the day. Your get-home bag or 1158 01:27:57.590 --> 01:28:01.250 your get-home kit probably doesn't have to be as big 1159 01:28:01.289 --> 01:28:03.850 as it is. If you're thinking it over right now, 1160 01:28:04.369 --> 01:28:08.550 it could be. What it probably should be is a 1161 01:28:08.569 --> 01:28:13.880 get-home pouch with a change of shoes. If you have 1162 01:28:13.920 --> 01:28:17.619 an EDC that carries a lot of the fundamentals, then 1163 01:28:18.079 --> 01:28:21.810 you probably have a get-home pouch. or even a get-home 1164 01:28:21.850 --> 01:28:26.189 water bottle with a change of shoes. Really. In most cases, 1165 01:28:26.229 --> 01:28:28.329 you're in a situation where for some reason you can't 1166 01:28:28.409 --> 01:28:30.090 use the vehicle, but you have to get home, or 1167 01:28:30.130 --> 01:28:35.630 there's some kind of impediments to the vehicle on the road, disaster, emergency, whatever, 1168 01:28:36.069 --> 01:28:45.140 natural disaster. Your get-home kit shouldn't be a mountaineering framed backpack. 1169 01:28:45.229 --> 01:28:52.520 Filled with sternos for cooking meals. Mountain house meals. Because 1170 01:28:52.539 --> 01:28:57.819 all you're going to do is overburden yourself. And really probably... 1171 01:28:57.779 --> 01:28:58.939 The most important thing. 1172 01:28:58.960 --> 01:28:59.239 Well, no. 1173 01:28:59.500 --> 01:29:03.229 The most important thing. Not even a probably. The most 1174 01:29:03.310 --> 01:29:08.649 important thing with your get-home operation is speed. Right? You 1175 01:29:08.689 --> 01:29:11.090 have decided that what I have to do is get home. 1176 01:29:12.289 --> 01:29:15.949 And I have to use whatever I've stored to get home. Well, 1177 01:29:15.989 --> 01:29:17.810 now it's a matter of speed. How do I get 1178 01:29:17.829 --> 01:29:19.590 there as quickly as possible to take care of what 1179 01:29:19.630 --> 01:29:21.210 I need to take care of? How do I get 1180 01:29:21.270 --> 01:29:27.340 back to survival headquarters in the ASAP and... what do 1181 01:29:27.399 --> 01:29:33.029 I really need for that operation? Talk to you guys soon.

I just realized, 1198 01:30:38.369 --> 01:30:42.569 and I know how important rat traps are, but we 1199 01:30:42.590 --> 01:30:49.819 had a little incident over the Christmas, the celebrations where 1200 01:30:49.880 --> 01:30:51.500 one of our windows was open because we had to 1201 01:30:51.539 --> 01:30:55.529 run all those cords out to light up the porch. And, 1202 01:30:55.930 --> 01:31:00.630 you know, a couple field mice got in. We've never 1203 01:31:00.689 --> 01:31:03.449 had a problem with mice before. It's the first time, really. 1204 01:31:04.149 --> 01:31:07.180 And a couple field mice got in, and man, it 1205 01:31:07.239 --> 01:31:10.319 was a rain of terror for a while. You know, 1206 01:31:11.140 --> 01:31:14.920 they got into, you know, the rice that I had 1207 01:31:14.979 --> 01:31:19.430 and stuff like that. And we ended up throwing, you know, 1208 01:31:19.529 --> 01:31:24.720 probably about 20 pounds of rice, you know. So eventually 1209 01:31:24.739 --> 01:31:27.859 I had to go and, you know, and get some 1210 01:31:27.899 --> 01:31:32.119 proper rat traps. I had stuff like that I would 1211 01:31:32.140 --> 01:31:34.619 put out like in the outside sheds and stuff like that. 1212 01:31:34.720 --> 01:31:36.970 But for the house, you know, you can't put you 1213 01:31:36.979 --> 01:31:41.590 can't put anything that's, you know, like poison or whatever. 1214 01:31:41.609 --> 01:31:41.970 Right. 1215 01:31:42.689 --> 01:31:44.229 So I just bought some rat traps. 1216 01:31:44.310 --> 01:31:45.149 And you know what? 1217 01:31:45.979 --> 01:31:47.760 Actually used cheese and it. 1218 01:31:47.920 --> 01:31:49.359 Worked like a charm. 1219 01:31:51.180 --> 01:31:55.689 So it's, it's not, uh, uh, you know, it's not a, it's, it's, it's, 1220 01:31:55.810 --> 01:31:59.149 it's not a myth or, or, or, or an old 1221 01:31:59.210 --> 01:32:01.529 wives tale or whatever they want to call it. 1222 01:32:01.909 --> 01:32:02.430 You know what I mean? 1223 01:32:02.449 --> 01:32:06.770 Uh, you know, cheese really does work. And, um, so 1224 01:32:06.810 --> 01:32:08.649 we use the cheese or we set a couple of 1225 01:32:08.689 --> 01:32:11.310 traps and bam, bam, bam, you know, there were two 1226 01:32:11.369 --> 01:32:15.359 running around and we caught them. And since then, hey, 1227 01:32:15.420 --> 01:32:20.140 we're good. But if you are looking to store food 1228 01:32:20.199 --> 01:32:22.920 and especially, you know, in a grid down situation, right, 1229 01:32:23.020 --> 01:32:24.720 where you can't get to the store and if you 1230 01:32:24.760 --> 01:32:29.020 don't have some proper traps to take care of pests 1231 01:32:29.050 --> 01:32:33.170 like that, then you might find yourself in a lot 1232 01:32:33.189 --> 01:32:37.170 of problems. Because it was interesting to me that they 1233 01:32:37.189 --> 01:32:40.210 didn't go for like any of the sweet stuff. They 1234 01:32:40.250 --> 01:32:42.409 went for the rice or grain, you know, like when 1235 01:32:42.449 --> 01:32:45.810 they're out. side i think that's what that's what they 1236 01:32:45.909 --> 01:32:48.069 eat for the most part you know like grains and 1237 01:32:48.109 --> 01:32:50.039 stuff like that so they went directly for the rice 1238 01:32:50.100 --> 01:32:54.140 so that's my proper tip of the day. 1239 01:32:53.760 --> 01:32:56.220 Maybe you know what a zombie is when a person 1240 01:32:56.279 --> 01:33:00.260 dies and is buried seems a certain voodoo priest who 1241 01:33:00.840 --> 01:33:02.460 will have the power to bring him back to life 1242 01:33:04.279 --> 01:33:06.430 it's worse than horrible because a zombie has no will 1243 01:33:06.470 --> 01:33:10.500 of his own You see them sometimes, walking around blindly 1244 01:33:10.520 --> 01:33:14.439 with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they. 1245 01:33:14.359 --> 01:33:30.989 Do, not caring. You mean like Democrats? PPN Family, it's time. 1246 01:33:32.949 --> 01:33:34.779 For the prepper tip of the day. 1247 01:33:38.500 --> 01:33:43.899 Talking water today folks talking uh water sanitization we don't 1248 01:33:43.939 --> 01:33:47.119 purify water okay most of the time most people aren't 1249 01:33:47.300 --> 01:33:50.270 making plans to purify water you're making plans to sanitize 1250 01:33:50.329 --> 01:33:52.689 water you're making plans to make it so that the 1251 01:33:52.729 --> 01:33:57.609 water you drink uh won't kill you right the parasites 1252 01:33:58.170 --> 01:34:02.949 the pathogens and so on within the water uh sanitization 1253 01:34:02.989 --> 01:34:06.220 the sanitization process whatever you use we're going to talk 1254 01:34:06.260 --> 01:34:10.359 about one of them here um It's designed to kill 1255 01:34:10.380 --> 01:34:14.779 everything in the water that could harm you potentially. Microorganisms, right? 1256 01:34:17.180 --> 01:34:19.380 What I want to talk to you about and the 1257 01:34:19.500 --> 01:34:21.930 method that I want to drill into your head today is... 1258 01:34:21.819 --> 01:34:26.149 It's the 6-8-8-6 rule. 1259 01:34:26.930 --> 01:34:27.250 Okay? 1260 01:34:27.350 --> 01:34:38.510 Say it with me, class. The 6-8-8-6 rule. Looking at purifying, sanitizing... 1261 01:34:38.930 --> 01:34:42.050 Water with bleach, looking over the process and how it's done, 1262 01:34:43.210 --> 01:34:45.409 you know, bleach is cheap, it's easy, it's something you 1263 01:34:45.449 --> 01:34:48.869 should definitely store. I'm still one of those, you know, 1264 01:34:49.029 --> 01:34:53.090 planet-hating people who cleans with bleach, right? 1265 01:34:54.029 --> 01:34:54.409 I love it. 1266 01:34:56.739 --> 01:34:59.560 But looking over how to really sanitize water with bleach, 1267 01:35:01.260 --> 01:35:04.920 I saw a pattern, and the pattern became the 6-8-8-6 rule, 1268 01:35:04.979 --> 01:35:06.600 and I want you to burn it into your brain 1269 01:35:06.659 --> 01:35:07.939 so that you don't even have to think about it. 1270 01:35:08.840 --> 01:35:10.819 You don't even have to think about it. You tape 1271 01:35:10.850 --> 01:35:13.909 an eyedropper to your bleach bottle or put an eyedropper 1272 01:35:13.949 --> 01:35:19.270 somewhere you know where it is. And what you're going 1273 01:35:19.289 --> 01:35:22.590 to do with the 6-8-8-6 rule is pretty simple. You 1274 01:35:22.609 --> 01:35:26.600 come across 6% bleach. You're going to put 8 drops 1275 01:35:26.840 --> 01:35:30.680 of 6% bleach into a gallon of water. Shake it up, 1276 01:35:30.739 --> 01:35:36.770 wait 30 minutes. The water is sanitized. Has nothing to 1277 01:35:36.810 --> 01:35:39.569 do with filtration and so on, right? You could put 1278 01:35:39.590 --> 01:35:42.170 it through a coffee filter if you wanted to get 1279 01:35:42.270 --> 01:35:44.850 sediment and things like that out of it to make 1280 01:35:44.899 --> 01:35:49.539 it a little more palatable. Or if you had some 1281 01:35:49.579 --> 01:35:51.699 kind of better filter, hopefully you have a better filter. 1282 01:35:52.359 --> 01:35:55.260 I'm a huge proponent of the pressurized jerry can by 1283 01:35:55.319 --> 01:35:59.439 Hydro Blue. I think it is the best larger scale 1284 01:35:59.460 --> 01:36:02.279 water filter out there to really actually meet your water 1285 01:36:02.319 --> 01:36:04.920 needs in a crisis, you know, so that you're not 1286 01:36:05.289 --> 01:36:09.890 pumping water by hand for 40 minutes at a time 1287 01:36:09.909 --> 01:36:14.270 or whatever um i think it's a really great really 1288 01:36:14.289 --> 01:36:19.739 great water filter that first stage filtration process is one 1289 01:36:19.779 --> 01:36:23.180 thing but the sanitization process is much more important that 1290 01:36:23.260 --> 01:36:26.380 kills off the harmful bacteria the pathogens and so forth 1291 01:36:26.399 --> 01:36:33.260 the parasites six eight eight six six drops of eight 1292 01:36:33.300 --> 01:36:39.270 percent bleach will sanitize one gallon of water. That's the 6-8-8-6. 1293 01:36:40.470 --> 01:36:45.710 You guessed it. Eight drops of 6% bleach will sanitize 1294 01:36:45.850 --> 01:36:50.449 one gallon of water. Okay, so the 6-8-8-6 rule. You 1295 01:36:50.510 --> 01:36:54.430 may not be tuned in on your bleach buying because 1296 01:36:54.529 --> 01:36:56.649 I sure as hell am not. You know what I 1297 01:36:56.670 --> 01:36:59.390 look for when I buy bleach? Price and unscented. That's 1298 01:36:59.409 --> 01:37:02.069 where I'm going. I want unscented bleach and I want 1299 01:37:02.750 --> 01:37:06.020 a reasonable price. I don't sit there and, is it 8%? 1300 01:37:06.020 --> 01:37:06.420 Is it 6%? 1301 01:37:06.420 --> 01:37:09.180 What percentage is it? I don't care. I'm here to 1302 01:37:09.220 --> 01:37:12.739 buy bleach. I wanted to bleach things. So if you're 1303 01:37:12.770 --> 01:37:16.170 like me and you have bleach, then what you're going 1304 01:37:16.189 --> 01:37:19.510 to think to yourself is, all right, I got 6% bleach. 1305 01:37:19.869 --> 01:37:23.789 How much do I got to add?

It's dirt cheap, really. 1315 01:38:09.189 --> 01:38:12.050 I mean, it's really amazing just how affordable it is 1316 01:38:12.109 --> 01:38:15.050 to store a lot of baking soda, five-gallon buckets, whatever 1317 01:38:15.069 --> 01:38:18.069 you want to do. I thought we'd talk a little 1318 01:38:18.090 --> 01:38:20.899 bit about the things that you can do with baking 1319 01:38:20.979 --> 01:38:24.180 soda today to sort of drive home the fact that this, 1320 01:38:25.180 --> 01:38:29.100 you know, I mean, aside from that actual baking, what 1321 01:38:29.140 --> 01:38:32.949 I first got into learning about baking soda and the 1322 01:38:32.989 --> 01:38:36.399 power of baking soda was all about personal hygiene. It 1323 01:38:36.409 --> 01:38:40.100 was all about, I started understanding like you can make 1324 01:38:40.739 --> 01:38:45.640 things like deodorant from baking soda, right? It's as simple 1325 01:38:45.739 --> 01:38:49.640 as mixing one part baking soda to six parts cornstarch. 1326 01:38:50.720 --> 01:38:53.600 Or even arrowroot powder. You can put essential oils in 1327 01:38:53.619 --> 01:38:57.649 that if you want it to have a scent. What 1328 01:38:57.689 --> 01:38:59.970 really got me going about it, you can make toothpaste. 1329 01:39:00.210 --> 01:39:04.970 A lot of times the base for the toothpaste is 1330 01:39:06.090 --> 01:39:09.470 baking soda, coconut oil. You make a paste from that. 1331 01:39:09.510 --> 01:39:11.329 You can flavor it with essential oils if you want. 1332 01:39:11.350 --> 01:39:16.739 You can add salt to it. Dry shampoo, body scrub, mouthwash. 1333 01:39:18.319 --> 01:39:20.279 You can make a really good mouthwash with baking soda 1334 01:39:20.319 --> 01:39:24.659 and some mint essential oils. You can make a foot soak, right? 1335 01:39:24.720 --> 01:39:28.960 You can make, and that's nothing. That's like two tablespoons 1336 01:39:28.979 --> 01:39:31.920 of baking soda in a basin of warm water, right? 1337 01:39:32.979 --> 01:39:33.199 Easy. 1338 01:39:34.739 --> 01:39:39.350 Hand cleanser, right? All kinds of stuff from a personal 1339 01:39:39.390 --> 01:39:42.590 hygiene standpoint. This list right here that I'm reading you 1340 01:39:42.630 --> 01:39:46.489 was a big driver behind why I said we need 1341 01:39:46.510 --> 01:39:50.300 to store more baking soda. Otherwise, you're thinking, we got 1342 01:39:50.319 --> 01:39:52.699 to store extra toothpaste. We got to store extra mouthwash. 1343 01:39:52.729 --> 01:39:54.289 We got to store extra shampoo. We got to store 1344 01:39:54.329 --> 01:39:56.930 extra this. We got to store extra that, right? If 1345 01:39:56.989 --> 01:39:59.630 you learn to make soap and have baking soda, you 1346 01:39:59.649 --> 01:40:04.229 learn the process of soponification, and you have baking soda 1347 01:40:04.350 --> 01:40:08.840 at large, I mean, a lot of your personal hygiene 1348 01:40:08.880 --> 01:40:10.699 problems are going to go out the door. Maybe you 1349 01:40:10.739 --> 01:40:15.060 store a little surplus of coconut oil to help with 1350 01:40:15.100 --> 01:40:19.470 both processes, right? But I'm telling you right now, And 1351 01:40:19.489 --> 01:40:24.109 we're not even talking about cleaning. All-purpose cleaners, right? Cleaning carpets, 1352 01:40:24.590 --> 01:40:31.399 cleaning drains, cleaning ovens, boosting your dwindling laundry cleaner, right, 1353 01:40:31.640 --> 01:40:37.000 in an emergency. You can clean the grout between your tiles. Obviously, 1354 01:40:37.020 --> 01:40:39.060 deodorize the fridge. We've been doing that forever. You can 1355 01:40:39.119 --> 01:40:43.189 use it to polish. I don't know how much polishing 1356 01:40:43.210 --> 01:40:45.050 of silverware and jewelry you're going to do, but you 1357 01:40:45.090 --> 01:40:48.170 never know, right? Maybe you've got some dingy silver coins 1358 01:40:48.189 --> 01:40:52.899 you want to use. You want to sell? So it's 1359 01:40:52.939 --> 01:40:56.289 a quick and easy tip, guys. That's what I'm after, okay? 1360 01:40:56.890 --> 01:41:00.189 That's what I'm after. Store more baking soda. You don't 1361 01:41:00.210 --> 01:41:03.010 have enough baking soda. Store more baking soda because it 1362 01:41:03.069 --> 01:41:06.170 solves all kinds of problems for you. And it's one 1363 01:41:06.189 --> 01:41:09.569 of those things that, like I said, right now and normally, 1364 01:41:09.600 --> 01:41:11.699 it's dirt cheap. Not to mention you can bake a 1365 01:41:11.720 --> 01:41:15.680 bunch of stuff with it, right? But it's dirt cheap, 1366 01:41:16.199 --> 01:41:19.460 easy to get your hands on, easy to store. In fact, 1367 01:41:19.500 --> 01:41:21.479 if you buy it in bulk at like a Sam's Club, 1368 01:41:21.500 --> 01:41:24.760 you can get it in an orange Ziploc bag, a 1369 01:41:24.800 --> 01:41:28.239 large fortified, like a really strong Ziploc. Great way to 1370 01:41:28.279 --> 01:41:32.869 store it. Get it while you can. That's it. Buy 1371 01:41:32.890 --> 01:41:34.869 the baking soda, your prepper tip of the day.

No, I'm joking, 1389 01:42:35.850 --> 01:42:40.489 but I'm not joking, okay? Because I'm recording this the 1390 01:42:40.550 --> 01:42:44.909 day before we're leaving for Prepper Camp. So I'm getting 1391 01:42:44.989 --> 01:42:49.520 all my tips in. So, you know, the internet at 1392 01:42:49.579 --> 01:42:53.659 Prepper Camp has been iffy over the years.

No, 1396 01:43:06.409 --> 01:43:10.710 I'm joking. But you could probably count that as a tip. 1397 01:43:10.789 --> 01:43:18.949 I mean, here's the thing. It's super well worth it. 1398 01:43:19.779 --> 01:43:24.979 You can't go wrong. Like James said, if you even 1399 01:43:25.020 --> 01:43:31.720 go for one day you will be filled with information 1400 01:43:31.939 --> 01:43:35.819 and your batteries will be recharged. I describe it as 1401 01:43:35.880 --> 01:43:43.550 being exhilarating and exhausting all at the same time. There's 1402 01:43:43.600 --> 01:43:49.210 really nothing like it. It's pretty amazing. But you'll hear 1403 01:43:49.270 --> 01:43:51.590 all about Prepper Camp because we're going to be recording 1404 01:43:51.649 --> 01:43:57.329 stuff all through Prepper Camp. Here is my tip. Create 1405 01:43:57.899 --> 01:43:58.800 An infirmary. 1406 01:43:59.979 --> 01:44:00.199 What? 1407 01:44:01.420 --> 01:44:06.779 Create an infirmary. Have a place in your house where 1408 01:44:06.859 --> 01:44:11.939 you know you're going to put sick people. Okay? Ours 1409 01:44:12.060 --> 01:44:16.949 is in our basement. We have a half-finished basement and 1410 01:44:17.609 --> 01:44:23.210 there's a half-bath down there. And my daughter has, you know, 1411 01:44:23.470 --> 01:44:26.729 she had a little twin bed growing up with drawers 1412 01:44:26.850 --> 01:44:29.779 in it. So we put that down there, has a mattress, 1413 01:44:30.359 --> 01:44:33.579 and it's right next to the bathroom. So if anybody's sick, 1414 01:44:34.359 --> 01:44:38.329 they can go there. But more importantly, that's where we 1415 01:44:38.390 --> 01:44:43.750 keep all our medical supplies. Everything that we accumulate medically, 1416 01:44:44.229 --> 01:44:48.949 we have a spot for it. And if something happened, 1417 01:44:50.439 --> 01:44:55.039 we could take someone there, take their vitals, they could rest. 1418 01:44:55.779 --> 01:44:59.670 It's cool. in the summer. It's warm in the winter. 1419 01:45:00.310 --> 01:45:03.390 So even if all the power was out and the 1420 01:45:03.449 --> 01:45:07.210 heat was out, it would be a place that, you know, 1421 01:45:07.250 --> 01:45:11.270 with a few blankets or something like that, it could 1422 01:45:11.310 --> 01:45:17.319 be very functional. And it's away from everybody else's living area. 1423 01:45:17.439 --> 01:45:22.720 So it's secluded and away. It can be a quarantine area. 1424 01:45:24.060 --> 01:45:28.199 But have this place established. so that you don't have 1425 01:45:28.239 --> 01:45:31.739 to think about it. You don't have to change something 1426 01:45:31.859 --> 01:45:35.199 to make this happen. Say, this is where we're going 1427 01:45:35.220 --> 01:45:38.239 to have the medical supplies. This is where we need 1428 01:45:38.270 --> 01:45:47.229 to bring injured people, wounded people for treatment. So that's 1429 01:45:47.310 --> 01:45:51.609 my final tip. I hope you had a great 30 1430 01:45:51.609 --> 01:45:55.909 days of Prepper Tips. And thanks for the emails. I 1431 01:45:56.229 --> 01:46:03.550 really appreciate it. Take care and prep on. Hello, everyone 1432 01:46:03.609 --> 01:46:05.869 out there in Internet Radio Land. This is Dave Jones, 1433 01:46:05.890 --> 01:46:09.130 the NBC guy. And I'm pretty sure I've talked about 1434 01:46:09.170 --> 01:46:12.340 this before. I may be a tip. It may not 1435 01:46:12.409 --> 01:46:17.060 be a tip. But have you a roll or two 1436 01:46:17.359 --> 01:46:23.189 of caution tape? Caution tape on hand. You never know 1437 01:46:23.250 --> 01:46:25.630 when you're going to be able to block off an 1438 01:46:25.789 --> 01:46:31.829 area with just a piece of plastic tape. I'll tell you, 1439 01:46:31.930 --> 01:46:36.939 part of our plan is to block off our driveway. 1440 01:46:36.960 --> 01:46:41.920 I have biohazard signs. I'm going to put whatever the 1441 01:46:41.979 --> 01:46:46.539 latest virus is on there and a date. And I'm 1442 01:46:46.560 --> 01:46:50.260 going to block off the driveway with some logs. And 1443 01:46:50.319 --> 01:46:54.319 with that caution tape and the biohazard sign, if anybody 1444 01:46:54.420 --> 01:47:00.140 comes past that, well, then they're crazy, okay? You know, 1445 01:47:00.159 --> 01:47:05.039 I'm going to put Ebola, Zika, whatever, whatever the virus 1446 01:47:05.140 --> 01:47:08.850 is of the day. I would have put COVID back then, but, 1447 01:47:08.899 --> 01:47:13.050 you know, COVID ain't anything anymore. I might even put anthrax. 1448 01:47:13.170 --> 01:47:18.569 Who knows? You know, anthrax. And here, this goes along 1449 01:47:18.630 --> 01:47:25.500 with it. know the FEMA designation that they've developed after 1450 01:47:25.560 --> 01:47:31.619 Katrina to paint on the side of your house what's 1451 01:47:31.720 --> 01:47:36.630 in there. If you do that, people will know FEMA's 1452 01:47:36.750 --> 01:47:40.810 already been through this house and put dead bodies on 1453 01:47:40.850 --> 01:47:45.890 there because one quadrant is a dead body, another quadrant's 1454 01:47:45.970 --> 01:47:52.430 the date. But know that, Google that, that they paint 1455 01:47:52.590 --> 01:47:56.600 in red spray paint on the side of houses. If 1456 01:47:56.640 --> 01:48:00.100 you want to throw people off, you know, it goes 1457 01:48:00.159 --> 01:48:04.279 along with the caution tape. If you want people to 1458 01:48:04.399 --> 01:48:09.819 avoid your house or an area, put some caution tape 1459 01:48:09.939 --> 01:48:15.130 up there. It's little, it's inexpensive, and you should have 1460 01:48:15.189 --> 01:48:18.489 some on hand. You never know when that will come 1461 01:48:18.550 --> 01:48:24.020 in handy. And maybe some red spray paint. There you go. 1462 01:48:24.100 --> 01:48:27.159 That is my prepper tip for the day. Take care 1463 01:48:27.479 --> 01:48:31.199 and prep on. You need to have some mad money. 1464 01:48:32.140 --> 01:48:35.439 Mad money on hand. And what I mean by mad 1465 01:48:35.539 --> 01:48:40.899 money is some money tucked back in your wallet somewhere, 1466 01:48:41.600 --> 01:48:47.289 maybe behind your driver's license or an ID card, tucked 1467 01:48:47.409 --> 01:48:50.729 way back in a hidden spot in your wallet, can 1468 01:48:50.770 --> 01:48:55.329 be a couple 20s, can be a couple 50s, maybe 1469 01:48:55.369 --> 01:48:58.899 a C-note. It's up to you how much mad money 1470 01:48:58.960 --> 01:49:01.859 you want to have on hand. But this money is 1471 01:49:01.960 --> 01:49:08.510 for emergencies when you don't have cash. and you can't 1472 01:49:08.630 --> 01:49:14.399 get cash. Do you understand? It's called mad money because 1473 01:49:14.449 --> 01:49:17.460 back in the day, when there were cabs, if a 1474 01:49:17.500 --> 01:49:19.579 girl went out on a date with a guy and 1475 01:49:19.600 --> 01:49:21.979 she didn't like him or he was being too forward, 1476 01:49:22.359 --> 01:49:24.399 she could get out of the car, go get a cab, 1477 01:49:24.800 --> 01:49:29.949 and had money in her purse, her wallet, that she 1478 01:49:29.989 --> 01:49:32.829 could get a cab and go home. So you need 1479 01:49:32.850 --> 01:49:35.989 to have some mad money on hand because you never 1480 01:49:36.109 --> 01:49:40.949 know when that incredible emergency is going to strike. Now, 1481 01:49:41.449 --> 01:49:45.510 you know, are you going to carry $ 100, you know, 1482 01:49:45.510 --> 01:49:49.890 $ 100 bill? Well, maybe, but how are you going to 1483 01:49:49.930 --> 01:49:51.970 break that? Are you going to tear it in half? 1484 01:49:53.369 --> 01:49:57.250 Although I did that one time. Long story. I tore 1485 01:49:57.289 --> 01:49:59.390 it in half and said, look, if we have a 1486 01:49:59.409 --> 01:50:01.270 good time by the end of the night, I'll give 1487 01:50:01.310 --> 01:50:04.810 you the other half. And the waitress kept the drinks coming. So... 1488 01:50:06.439 --> 01:50:10.340 Just saying, it's a technique. I'll tell you, it was 1489 01:50:10.439 --> 01:50:13.119 actually a 20 I did this to. And this was 1490 01:50:13.159 --> 01:50:18.640 back in the day when $ 20 was worth, you know, $ 15. 1491 01:50:17.279 --> 01:50:24.529 Now it's not worth $ 10. But have some mad money 1492 01:50:24.649 --> 01:50:28.609 on hand. You never know when that emergency will hit. 1493 01:50:29.170 --> 01:50:34.069 Take care and prep on. This prepper tip is one 1494 01:50:34.210 --> 01:50:41.340 I know I said before. So look into an ozonator. 1495 01:50:43.520 --> 01:50:53.520 Do your own research. Ozonators produce ozone, which purifies air, water. 1496 01:50:53.520 --> 01:51:02.250 70% of the bottled water that you drink is purified 1497 01:51:02.390 --> 01:51:07.430 by ozonating it. It's quick, it's easy, it does require electricity, 1498 01:51:07.970 --> 01:51:10.970 but an ozonator can do so much more than just 1499 01:51:11.050 --> 01:51:15.979 purify water. It can sanitize a room. If you put 1500 01:51:16.180 --> 01:51:19.829 ozone in a closed room, It will kill the viruses 1501 01:51:19.930 --> 01:51:25.359 and bacteria in that room. Smells, it takes smells out. 1502 01:51:25.800 --> 01:51:29.779 If you're processing game or something like that, meat, you 1503 01:51:29.819 --> 01:51:34.649 can put in some water and ozonate the meat to 1504 01:51:35.050 --> 01:51:39.869 sterilize the outside to make sure that there's no salmonella 1505 01:51:39.890 --> 01:51:47.119 or anything on that. So an ozonator... They're around $ 100. 1506 01:51:46.479 --> 01:51:49.739 They're an inexpensive prep that can do a lot of 1507 01:51:49.800 --> 01:51:55.310 different things. And look into it. You may think, nah, 1508 01:51:55.479 --> 01:51:58.050 I'm just going to boil it. I'm boiling it. I'm done. 1509 01:51:58.449 --> 01:52:02.649 That's it. I'm boiling it. But I like to have 1510 01:52:03.449 --> 01:52:07.989 different methods so that I can do different things with, 1511 01:52:08.579 --> 01:52:10.640 you know, different stuff. 1512 01:52:10.819 --> 01:52:10.960 So. 1513 01:52:11.909 --> 01:52:16.050 Look into an ozonator. That is my prepper tip for 1514 01:52:16.090 --> 01:52:21.590 the day. Ozonate. Take care and prep on. Well, hello, hello, 1515 01:52:21.670 --> 01:52:25.409 hello out there in internet radio land. This is Dave Jones, 1516 01:52:25.430 --> 01:52:28.529 the NBC guy, and I have another prepper tip for 1517 01:52:28.600 --> 01:52:33.079 you today. And it kind of goes along with the compass. 1518 01:52:34.020 --> 01:52:41.340 So here's what the prepper tip is. Know your pace count. Okay? 1519 01:52:42.300 --> 01:52:48.060 What is a pace count? That's how many steps you 1520 01:52:48.180 --> 01:52:52.810 take to make it 100 meters. So if you have 1521 01:52:52.859 --> 01:52:57.850 a topographical map, you'll be able to tell how far 1522 01:52:57.930 --> 01:53:01.050 you've walked into the woods by the number of steps. 1523 01:53:01.729 --> 01:53:10.689 So let's say we can use my pace count. It's 122. 122. 1524 01:53:12.689 --> 01:53:17.609 for every 120, now in rough terrain, your pace count 1525 01:53:17.649 --> 01:53:23.789 would get more, okay? So this is flat level measured. 1526 01:53:24.970 --> 01:53:29.029 You can go to a track and march it off, 1527 01:53:29.670 --> 01:53:34.029 you know, a football field, a track, 100 meters, count 1528 01:53:34.090 --> 01:53:38.329 the steps, and that is your pace count. Now when 1529 01:53:38.350 --> 01:53:41.760 you're going through the brush and the briars and snow, 1530 01:53:43.439 --> 01:53:46.539 any kind of terrain like that, you have to increase 1531 01:53:46.600 --> 01:53:51.579 the number of paces to get the same. Do not 1532 01:53:51.659 --> 01:53:56.149 think that every 120 is going to cut it because 1533 01:53:56.170 --> 01:53:59.069 you're going to be taking more steps so you don't 1534 01:53:59.149 --> 01:54:03.270 fall over things. And then have a little piece of 1535 01:54:03.310 --> 01:54:07.359 parachute cord You might see this, you know, on some 1536 01:54:07.399 --> 01:54:10.409 movies or stuff like that. A little piece of parachute 1537 01:54:10.470 --> 01:54:16.949 cord to tie a knot every 100 meters. So as 1538 01:54:17.050 --> 01:54:20.630 many knots as you've tied in that little piece of cord, 1539 01:54:21.090 --> 01:54:25.409 that's how far you've gone. And, you know, that way 1540 01:54:25.470 --> 01:54:28.949 you can keep track of the distance you travel in 1541 01:54:28.970 --> 01:54:33.649 the woods with your map along an azimuth, if you 1542 01:54:33.689 --> 01:54:36.729 know how to use a compass. So you shoot an azimuth, 1543 01:54:37.100 --> 01:54:41.220 you go into the woods, you know how far you've gone, 1544 01:54:41.239 --> 01:54:46.319 so you can pinpoint your location, you know, pretty well 1545 01:54:47.000 --> 01:54:49.720 on the map because you went on that direction, that 1546 01:54:49.939 --> 01:54:54.579 azimuth with your compass. So know what your pace count 1547 01:54:54.939 --> 01:54:59.260 is and do this now on the flat, on the level, 1548 01:54:59.880 --> 01:55:07.880 no rain, so that you can determine over rough terrain, 1549 01:55:09.640 --> 01:55:13.239 what your pace count would be. That's my prepper tip 1550 01:55:13.270 --> 01:55:18.010 for the day. Pace count. Take care and prep on. Hello, 1551 01:55:18.069 --> 01:55:20.630 everyone out there in Internet Radio Land. This is Dave Jones, 1552 01:55:20.649 --> 01:55:23.350 the NBC guy, coming to you with the prepper tip 1553 01:55:23.449 --> 01:55:29.210 of the day, and that is have a compass. You 1554 01:55:29.250 --> 01:55:33.189 need to have at least one compass per bug-out bag. 1555 01:55:33.829 --> 01:55:37.010 And everybody in your group needs to know how to 1556 01:55:37.390 --> 01:55:44.270 use a compass. Okay? I highly recommend the Prepper Survival 1557 01:55:44.350 --> 01:55:50.319 Navigation book. It was written by G-Man. He boils down 1558 01:55:50.479 --> 01:55:58.109 and distills military land navigation in an easy-to-understand manner. manual 1559 01:55:58.550 --> 01:56:01.850 that you could put right in your backpack and take 1560 01:56:01.890 --> 01:56:06.899 it with you and practice anywhere you go. Terrain associate, 1561 01:56:07.399 --> 01:56:12.140 but have a compass and know how to use it. 1562 01:56:12.220 --> 01:56:16.079 At least one. When I was in the army, I 1563 01:56:16.180 --> 01:56:20.560 carried more than one compass just in case my main 1564 01:56:20.659 --> 01:56:26.010 compass got broke. This is before GPS and And if 1565 01:56:26.050 --> 01:56:29.149 you believe in EMP and the SHTF and all that 1566 01:56:29.180 --> 01:56:34.939 kind of stuff, a compass will work when GPS is down. 1567 01:56:34.960 --> 01:56:40.460 A compass still works as long as the Earth has 1568 01:56:40.500 --> 01:56:46.939 a magnetic field. So I can't recommend this enough. Get 1569 01:56:46.960 --> 01:56:50.670 you that book. It's like $ 15. It'll probably be the 1570 01:56:50.770 --> 01:56:55.350 best land nav book you ever purchased. Easy to understand. 1571 01:56:55.970 --> 01:57:01.909 and get at least one compass per bug-out bag per person. 1572 01:57:02.829 --> 01:57:06.880 That's my prepper tip for the day, a compass. Take care, 1573 01:57:07.420 --> 01:57:08.060 and prep on. 1574 01:57:08.079 --> 01:57:12.239 Let's get to the tip, which today we're. 1575 01:57:12.199 --> 01:57:16.260 Going to talk about a solar-powered compass. 1576 01:57:26.060 --> 01:57:31.500 Owl that we call Mr. Okaks. If you keep chickens, 1577 01:57:31.560 --> 01:57:34.279 if you keep quail, if you keep anything along those lines, 1578 01:57:34.300 --> 01:57:37.819 then you know that predation is a thing, right? Predators 1579 01:57:37.930 --> 01:57:40.770 are real. They are a problem. I have had massacres 1580 01:57:40.810 --> 01:57:47.510 in my backyard, absolute massacres. And they're always watching. One 1581 01:57:47.550 --> 01:57:49.750 thing about predators you have to know, they're always watching. 1582 01:57:49.789 --> 01:57:52.470 They are waiting for the night that you slip up, 1583 01:57:52.550 --> 01:57:54.680 the night that you forget to lock up, the night 1584 01:57:54.720 --> 01:57:59.439 that you forget to put that bungee cord on, lock 1585 01:57:59.479 --> 01:58:02.220 that fence, whatever it is that you do every night. 1586 01:58:03.619 --> 01:58:05.829 So many times it's been that one night for me 1587 01:58:05.850 --> 01:58:09.529 where they've gotten me. One of the techniques, one of 1588 01:58:09.569 --> 01:58:15.399 the things that we employed years ago was a an 1589 01:58:15.619 --> 01:58:20.350 owl essentially like a scarecrow type owl garden owl that 1590 01:58:20.430 --> 01:58:26.439 sits in the chicken coop on a post and And 1591 01:58:26.479 --> 01:58:29.289 this owl in particular is solar powered and its eyes 1592 01:58:29.369 --> 01:58:32.890 light up at dusk. And they stay on throughout the night. 1593 01:58:33.689 --> 01:58:39.649 And we've never had an issue when Mr. Okax is up. Now, Mr. Okax, sometimes, 1594 01:58:39.689 --> 01:58:42.239 this is what we call him. Some of you may 1595 01:58:42.300 --> 01:58:44.640 know the reference. Very few. But I don't know. You 1596 01:58:44.659 --> 01:58:47.380 might know that. Who knows? We read a book when 1597 01:58:47.420 --> 01:58:49.920 my son, my oldest, was in elementary school called Poppy. 1598 01:58:49.960 --> 01:58:52.479 The school sent it home and it said, read Poppy. Actually, 1599 01:58:52.500 --> 01:58:54.779 I think it might have been during COVID. And it 1600 01:58:54.800 --> 01:58:56.859 was in a signed book. So we read it together 1601 01:58:56.880 --> 01:58:58.500 at nighttime before bed. 1602 01:59:00.140 --> 01:59:00.479 And Mr. 1603 01:59:00.560 --> 01:59:04.430 Okax was the antagonist. He was essentially the owl who 1604 01:59:04.439 --> 01:59:06.770 was eating all the field mice in the family. Poppy 1605 01:59:06.810 --> 01:59:10.770 was about a field mouse. So we called it Mr. Okax. 1606 01:59:10.789 --> 01:59:11.109 And Mr. 1607 01:59:11.170 --> 01:59:14.010 Okax sits up on his perch and is powered by 1608 01:59:14.050 --> 01:59:16.170 the sun. And his lights come on at night. And 1609 01:59:16.529 --> 01:59:19.810 it gives predators, at least in our area, just enough 1610 01:59:19.909 --> 01:59:23.149 pause to say... I don't know if I want to 1611 01:59:23.310 --> 01:59:24.149 go meet Mr. 1612 01:59:24.270 --> 01:59:24.829 Okax. 1613 01:59:25.449 --> 01:59:27.409 Now, we also move it, you know, we move it 1614 01:59:27.430 --> 01:59:29.829 from time to time because you got to make things, 1615 01:59:29.850 --> 01:59:32.300 you got to switch things up or the predators will 1616 01:59:32.310 --> 01:59:33.880 get used to it and they'll get a little closer 1617 01:59:33.899 --> 01:59:35.399 and get a little closer and then they'll realize. 1618 01:59:35.460 --> 01:59:36.500 Oh, Mr. 1619 01:59:36.600 --> 01:59:41.600 Okax is fake. So that's my prepper tip for the day, folks. 1620 01:59:42.199 --> 01:59:45.520 Get yourself one of these owls that you can stick 1621 01:59:45.779 --> 01:59:48.260 in your yard somewhere, whatever you're protecting. They work in 1622 01:59:48.279 --> 01:59:51.640 the garden too. But somewhere you need to protect things. 1623 01:59:52.699 --> 01:59:55.819 I think Mr. Okak's... Don't search it up that way. 1624 01:59:55.859 --> 01:59:59.770 It's just an owl with solar-powered eyes. LED lights for eyes. 1625 02:00:01.569 --> 02:00:03.850 I'll link to it down in the description. I think 1626 02:00:03.890 --> 02:00:06.869 that this is... Well, this has been one of the 1627 02:00:06.909 --> 02:00:11.010 most effective ways of deterring predators that we've used. 1628 02:00:11.029 --> 02:00:11.590 Okay? 1629 02:00:11.850 --> 02:00:14.210 And we see a difference when he's up, you know, 1630 02:00:14.569 --> 02:00:17.180 compared to when we're replacing him or when he breaks 1631 02:00:17.260 --> 02:00:18.420 or something along those lines. 1632 02:00:19.039 --> 02:00:19.159 So. 1633 02:00:19.609 --> 02:00:23.489 Give it a whirl. Protect them yard birds. Keep those 1634 02:00:23.590 --> 02:00:26.250 eggs flowing and meat birds. Keep them nice and plump. 1635 02:00:26.289 --> 02:00:29.989 That is a huge part of self-reliance and independence, all right? 1636 02:00:30.689 --> 02:00:34.029 And don't forget to visit pbnfamily.com to become a member 1637 02:00:34.189 --> 02:00:37.109 at the Prepper Broadcasting Network.

Plan your next prepping challenge. 1641 02:01:05.470 --> 02:01:09.829 The moment you get off of this prepper tip, I 1642 02:01:09.850 --> 02:01:12.510 want you to sit down and plan out your next 1643 02:01:12.689 --> 02:01:16.319 prepper adventure or your next prepper challenge. I've done a 1644 02:01:16.380 --> 02:01:19.720 lot of things over the years. Nothing has made me 1645 02:01:19.760 --> 02:01:22.399 a better prepper the way that doing Gotham Get Out 1646 02:01:22.899 --> 02:01:25.619 made me a better prepper. The way that doing Ration 1647 02:01:25.659 --> 02:01:27.739 or Ruin has made me a better prepper. These are 1648 02:01:27.779 --> 02:01:31.100 prepper challenges that we've done here at the Prepper Broadcasting Network. 1649 02:01:31.899 --> 02:01:35.359 And I'm telling you right now, even if it's just 1650 02:01:35.500 --> 02:01:39.359 a bug out operation, right? But do it. A get 1651 02:01:39.420 --> 02:01:41.899 home operation. Throw a get home bag on your back. 1652 02:01:42.390 --> 02:01:44.989 And walk home. Physically do it. Don't think about how 1653 02:01:45.029 --> 02:01:47.270 it's going to work. Don't think about what you might 1654 02:01:47.310 --> 02:01:50.210 need to add to make it work better hypothetically. Forget 1655 02:01:50.250 --> 02:01:54.989 about hypothetically. We're trying to eliminate firsts. And look what 1656 02:01:55.090 --> 02:01:57.909 really could go wrong. And what really works in the face. 1657 02:01:57.989 --> 02:02:00.609 So you know it long before it ever really comes 1658 02:02:00.670 --> 02:02:05.949 to fruition. It can be whatever you want.

DisasterCoffee.com. 1684 02:03:44.340 --> 02:03:49.380 I had many chicken feeders in my many days keeping chickens. 1685 02:03:49.399 --> 02:03:55.680 We've been at it for 12 years now. Starting with 1686 02:03:55.699 --> 02:03:59.979 the chick feeders, the little plastic chick feeders, moving to 1687 02:04:00.000 --> 02:04:06.529 a larger feed system that seemed to be Just constantly 1688 02:04:06.649 --> 02:04:10.920 filled with leaves and dirt every single day. Same thing 1689 02:04:10.939 --> 02:04:14.079 with the water container. You know what we also had? 1690 02:04:14.119 --> 02:04:16.899 We had the feeder that's hooked to the side of 1691 02:04:16.920 --> 02:04:20.500 the chicken coop. And they'd jump inside of that thing 1692 02:04:20.539 --> 02:04:24.220 and that thing would be a mess. What really changed 1693 02:04:24.239 --> 02:04:30.750 the game was the rain-proof gravity feeder 5-gallon bucket attachment. 1694 02:04:33.010 --> 02:04:35.560 Not only did this change the game because... Now I 1695 02:04:35.579 --> 02:04:37.699 can put five gallons of food out at a time. 1696 02:04:38.199 --> 02:04:43.600 And for six chickens, that's a lot. But again, rain, 1697 02:04:43.859 --> 02:04:50.000 no problem, right? Where you place these fixtures on your fire, 1698 02:04:50.359 --> 02:04:54.119 you take these fixtures, you use a circle saw and 1699 02:04:54.319 --> 02:04:57.579 you basically drill out the like three or four places 1700 02:04:57.619 --> 02:04:59.420 in the five gallon bucket where you want the chickens 1701 02:04:59.439 --> 02:05:01.319 to be able to feed from. I do three spots 1702 02:05:01.380 --> 02:05:04.329 on the five gallon bucket. It's plenty. It means at 1703 02:05:04.390 --> 02:05:07.760 least half of my chickens are eating at the same time. 1704 02:05:09.460 --> 02:05:12.899 These things are dirt cheap. They're less than $ 20. And 1705 02:05:13.779 --> 02:05:17.159 they change the game. And the other thing, we deal 1706 02:05:17.199 --> 02:05:21.560 with all kinds of moving and shaking overnight. Depending on 1707 02:05:21.600 --> 02:05:24.180 where the food is. I don't keep the food in 1708 02:05:24.199 --> 02:05:27.060 the coop or even in the run anymore because animals 1709 02:05:27.100 --> 02:05:28.840 go in. Not even to kill the chickens, just to 1710 02:05:28.880 --> 02:05:33.390 eat their food. So the... ability to grab a five 1711 02:05:33.409 --> 02:05:36.149 gallon bucket by the handle, right? And throw it in 1712 02:05:36.170 --> 02:05:41.369 the shed eliminates a lot of these interactions with predators and, 1713 02:05:41.590 --> 02:05:45.029 and predation that potential predation that could happen with the chickens. 1714 02:05:45.630 --> 02:05:51.760 So these little, like I said, circle saw screw in the, 1715 02:05:51.880 --> 02:05:54.619 the fixture on the back and on the front, right? 1716 02:05:54.760 --> 02:05:57.319 On any five gallon bucket and you're a prepper. So 1717 02:05:57.340 --> 02:05:59.359 you've got five gallon buckets. I know you do got 1718 02:05:59.380 --> 02:06:02.590 to have a lid, right? And your feed is protected. 1719 02:06:03.029 --> 02:06:05.430 Your feed is protected from the rain and the weather. 1720 02:06:05.449 --> 02:06:10.310 Your feed is protected, um, from pests and rodents if 1721 02:06:10.329 --> 02:06:14.109 you store it in a different place overnight. And to me, 1722 02:06:14.770 --> 02:06:18.979 it was the most effective, the most efficient way to 1723 02:06:19.060 --> 02:06:21.880 feed chickens. I'll link to it down below if you 1724 02:06:21.899 --> 02:06:23.460 want to get a peek at what it looks like. 1725 02:06:23.539 --> 02:06:25.520 The kit that I used is the same kit I'm 1726 02:06:25.539 --> 02:06:27.380 going to link to. It comes with the circle saw 1727 02:06:27.420 --> 02:06:31.670 attachment for your power drill and, uh, Yeah, it'll take 1728 02:06:31.689 --> 02:06:35.489 you about 15 minutes to build the most dynamic and 1729 02:06:35.529 --> 02:06:42.130 effective chicken feeder possible. Thanks for everything, folks. I hope 1730 02:06:42.170 --> 02:06:44.060 you enjoyed today's Prepper Tip of the Day. 1731 02:06:45.140 --> 02:06:47.560 Hello, everyone out there on Internet Radio Land. This is 1732 02:06:47.579 --> 02:06:50.079 Dave Jones, the NBC guy, with your prepper tip of 1733 02:06:50.159 --> 02:06:52.930 the day. Now, I'm going to talk quickly so that 1734 02:06:52.970 --> 02:06:55.869 you understand the tip and you can get on about 1735 02:06:55.909 --> 02:07:01.439 your day. Your basic load, the amount of ammunition that 1736 02:07:01.479 --> 02:07:06.579 you will carry with you. A U.S. Army infantryman carries 1737 02:07:06.579 --> 02:07:15.529 210 rounds. in 30-round magazines, you are not that guy, okay? 1738 02:07:15.909 --> 02:07:20.350 My tip is you need enough ammunition to get someone's 1739 02:07:20.390 --> 02:07:27.029 heads down and run away, run away, okay? So if 1740 02:07:27.090 --> 02:07:31.930 you think about how much equipment and gear you can carry, 1741 02:07:32.470 --> 02:07:36.489 think hard about the amount of ammunition you carry, okay? 1742 02:07:36.810 --> 02:07:40.460 Because I'm telling you, three or four rounds well-placed will 1743 02:07:40.479 --> 02:07:45.159 put everybody's heads down and you can run away. Trust me, 1744 02:07:45.220 --> 02:07:49.079 when someone's shooting at you, you want to get underneath 1745 02:07:49.180 --> 02:07:53.090 the grass. So they will not see you if you 1746 02:07:53.130 --> 02:07:55.590 put a couple rounds, even if you shoot them straight 1747 02:07:55.630 --> 02:07:58.649 up in the air. They hear the shots, you know, 1748 02:07:58.689 --> 02:08:02.500 they're going to get down. So think about the amount 1749 02:08:02.640 --> 02:08:08.770 of ammunition you absolutely positively need for whatever you're doing. 1750 02:08:09.869 --> 02:08:13.189 And like I said, what you're doing, you should be 1751 02:08:13.289 --> 02:08:17.609 running away. That's your prepper tip of the day. Take 1752 02:08:17.630 --> 02:08:23.489 care and prep on. Along with your get-out bag, get-home bag, 1753 02:08:23.569 --> 02:08:27.630 bug-out bag, this is something that you need to include 1754 02:08:27.710 --> 02:08:34.699 and is often overlooked is... a paper and pencil, some 1755 02:08:34.800 --> 02:08:38.550 kind of writing implement. If you want to leave a 1756 02:08:38.689 --> 02:08:42.069 note for someone, if you want to draw a sketch, 1757 02:08:42.229 --> 02:08:45.989 a map, you have to have something in your bag 1758 02:08:46.060 --> 02:08:51.439 to do that. It's vitally important and often overlooked. So 1759 02:08:51.500 --> 02:08:57.439 have a pen and paper, um, It's something durable and 1760 02:08:57.539 --> 02:09:01.319 that you can write a note, maybe pass on something. 1761 02:09:02.199 --> 02:09:06.869 Markers are good. If you have a plan to leave information, 1762 02:09:06.909 --> 02:09:10.250 if you're not at your house and the plan is 1763 02:09:10.289 --> 02:09:12.770 to get to your house, say, I will leave you 1764 02:09:12.810 --> 02:09:18.399 a message in this closet. So on the inside of 1765 02:09:18.460 --> 02:09:23.899 the closet, you may write, went to location one or 1766 02:09:23.960 --> 02:09:26.840 something like that. So you have to have something to 1767 02:09:26.880 --> 02:09:30.319 write with. It would be bad if you're getting down to, hey, 1768 02:09:30.399 --> 02:09:34.189 I'll get this charcoal from the fire and write with that. Well, 1769 02:09:34.199 --> 02:09:37.649 there's another tip. You can write with charcoal from the fire. 1770 02:09:37.989 --> 02:09:42.119 You can also camouflage your face with. With the charcoal, 1771 02:09:42.680 --> 02:09:47.109 the charcoal rubs on really good, okay, and washes off 1772 02:09:47.710 --> 02:09:55.329 better than actual camo stick. So if you have nothing else, 1773 02:09:55.390 --> 02:09:58.520 there are two tips in one. Use charcoal from your 1774 02:09:58.569 --> 02:10:01.180 fire to rub on your face and your hands to 1775 02:10:01.239 --> 02:10:03.039 blacken it out and cut the shine. 1776 02:10:03.560 --> 02:10:04.060 There you go. 1777 02:10:04.720 --> 02:10:10.090 PBN family, take care and prep on.

My prepper tip 1826 02:14:15.289 --> 02:14:20.649 of the day is you must, must, must look into fasting. 1827 02:14:21.810 --> 02:14:26.380 You must. It does so many good things for your body. 1828 02:14:27.460 --> 02:14:31.739 It's not as hard as a workout. It's definitely not 1829 02:14:31.800 --> 02:14:35.060 as hard as you think it is because what you're 1830 02:14:35.100 --> 02:14:39.800 thinking is, you know, it's all mental. You're talking yourself 1831 02:14:39.920 --> 02:14:43.739 out of it. We have been programmed to believe that 1832 02:14:43.779 --> 02:14:45.949 we need to eat three meals a day and that 1833 02:14:45.989 --> 02:14:51.869 is simply not true. Throughout history, you know, our ancestors 1834 02:14:51.890 --> 02:14:55.920 ate one meal a day if they could. You know, 1835 02:14:55.979 --> 02:15:00.390 maybe three, four times a week they ate something. It 1836 02:15:00.470 --> 02:15:05.989 was not until this overwhelming prosperity hit us. And I'm 1837 02:15:06.050 --> 02:15:09.729 pretty sure that that is where a lot of the 1838 02:15:10.090 --> 02:15:14.409 sicknesses are coming from. That we just plain consume too 1839 02:15:14.479 --> 02:15:18.939 much food. You know, it's like we're in a cage 1840 02:15:19.439 --> 02:15:26.109 and just being force-fed food. try fasting so that you 1841 02:15:26.220 --> 02:15:29.979 know more about your body, how it reacts and, um, 1842 02:15:31.420 --> 02:15:34.739 get the health benefits from it. So my tip is 1843 02:15:35.079 --> 02:15:40.569 look into fasting, make it part of your prepper year. Okay. 1844 02:15:41.229 --> 02:15:43.250 As you plan out what you're going to do with 1845 02:15:43.289 --> 02:15:47.170 your preps, you know, establishing a position and improve upon 1846 02:15:47.210 --> 02:15:52.689 a daily plan that as part of your, uh, Plan 1847 02:15:52.729 --> 02:15:55.850 for your prepper year. That's my prepper tip for the day. 1848 02:15:56.010 --> 02:15:59.729 Take care and prep on. Dave Jones, the NBC guy, 1849 02:15:59.770 --> 02:16:04.890 with your next prepper tip. And that is berries. Berries. 1850 02:16:05.710 --> 02:16:11.289 Do not overlook berries. Here on the mountain, now you 1851 02:16:11.630 --> 02:16:15.149 will have to, you know, for your area, you're going 1852 02:16:15.180 --> 02:16:18.020 to have to figure out what grows wild. 1853 02:16:18.039 --> 02:16:19.439 Easy. 1854 02:16:19.659 --> 02:16:20.020 Easy. 1855 02:16:20.979 --> 02:16:25.970 And for us, it's raspberries. They just go crazy. To 1856 02:16:26.010 --> 02:16:30.369 a lesser extent, blueberries, they need a little more work. 1857 02:16:30.890 --> 02:16:37.750 But raspberries, we can grow raspberries, elderberries, just without even trying. 1858 02:16:38.010 --> 02:16:44.940 They're massively prolific here on the mountains. So figure out 1859 02:16:45.459 --> 02:16:49.559 what grows natural in your area so that you can 1860 02:16:49.639 --> 02:16:53.520 have a food source that you don't have to do 1861 02:16:53.739 --> 02:16:58.510 anything and it will keep growing. And, you know, raspberries, uh, they, 1862 02:16:58.629 --> 02:17:02.450 they give you a vitamin C antioxidants, um, all that 1863 02:17:02.489 --> 02:17:06.129 kind of stuff. So find out what that plant is 1864 02:17:06.629 --> 02:17:12.780 in your area. Uh, get some of it, uh, plant it, 1865 02:17:13.120 --> 02:17:17.860 let it grow, let it multiply, cultivate it, harvest it, um, 1866 02:17:19.920 --> 02:17:24.600 don't go against the grain, so to speak. If you 1867 02:17:24.639 --> 02:17:30.860 have something that doesn't grow in your area, why knock 1868 02:17:30.899 --> 02:17:34.459 yourself out? Get the things that do grow. It's always 1869 02:17:34.579 --> 02:17:38.760 trading material. There's so many things you can do with blueberries. 1870 02:17:38.799 --> 02:17:42.739 You can ferment them. You can distill them. I mean, 1871 02:17:43.520 --> 02:17:49.670 and it makes great trading material. So that's my prepper 1872 02:17:49.729 --> 02:17:55.770 tip Get the berries in your life. Take care and 1873 02:17:55.829 --> 02:18:01.399 prep on. Testing. Yes, testing, testing. One, two, three. No, 1874 02:18:01.639 --> 02:18:07.750 test yourself. Evaluate yourself. You know, if you put stuff 1875 02:18:07.809 --> 02:18:11.030 on the shelf and say, I got that covered. No. 1876 02:18:11.850 --> 02:18:17.770 Test and evaluate yourself, your plans, your equipment. Get it 1877 02:18:17.889 --> 02:18:21.729 out there and use it. A simple test, and I 1878 02:18:21.770 --> 02:18:25.700 think I mentioned this on another tip or somewhere, is... 1879 02:18:27.530 --> 02:18:31.559 throw the electric main, throw the main switch coming into 1880 02:18:31.579 --> 02:18:36.280 your electric panel for the weekend and just see what happens. 1881 02:18:37.860 --> 02:18:41.840 Maybe for a day, you know, a small test. Or 1882 02:18:42.239 --> 02:18:45.659 get that equipment out, unbox it, put it up, see 1883 02:18:45.719 --> 02:18:48.479 how hard it is to assemble. You know, if you 1884 02:18:48.500 --> 02:18:52.569 have a solar panel contraption or something like that, see 1885 02:18:52.629 --> 02:18:56.600 how it hooks up, see what it generates. Stick a 1886 02:18:56.659 --> 02:19:00.520 battery on there, see if it even produces electricity. What 1887 02:19:00.559 --> 02:19:03.780 do you have to do to make the solar panel 1888 02:19:03.860 --> 02:19:10.739 system work? So figure out little tests that you can 1889 02:19:10.799 --> 02:19:15.319 do every so often to see if something works or 1890 02:19:15.379 --> 02:19:18.139 if you can actually do what you think you can do. 1891 02:19:19.280 --> 02:19:23.000 And then honestly evaluate it. Don't make it all sunshine 1892 02:19:23.079 --> 02:19:29.309 and rainbows. Be honest about it. And you'll have a 1893 02:19:29.370 --> 02:19:34.329 better evaluation of the do's and don't do's. The can's 1894 02:19:34.409 --> 02:19:39.670 and can not's. You know, you got to know your limitations. 1895 02:19:41.190 --> 02:19:45.610 Capabilities and limitations. That's what I always say. Know the 1896 02:19:45.670 --> 02:19:50.649 capabilities and limitations first. of your equipment, and your people. 1897 02:19:51.510 --> 02:19:57.530 So testing is very important. Figure out a test, conduct it, evaluate, 1898 02:19:58.229 --> 02:20:02.530 and then adjust from there. Okay, that's my prepper tip. 1899 02:20:02.889 --> 02:20:15.950 Take care and prep on. Hello everyone out there in 1900 02:20:15.989 --> 02:20:19.030 internet radio land. This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy. 1901 02:20:19.069 --> 02:20:26.190 Here's my prepper tip for the day. Sharing. Share with 1902 02:20:26.350 --> 02:20:33.120 other people that you have a prepper homestead lifestyle. You 1903 02:20:33.239 --> 02:20:36.920 never know who you can bring into the fold. And 1904 02:20:37.059 --> 02:20:41.020 I have an example. I talked with the secretary at 1905 02:20:41.059 --> 02:20:43.680 the school I work at and they have a farm 1906 02:20:43.700 --> 02:20:50.079 and and they are, you know, raising cattle. That's all 1907 02:20:50.100 --> 02:20:57.250 they raise for themselves. But he works, she works, and 1908 02:20:57.280 --> 02:20:59.329 they have a farm that they live on, so they, 1909 02:20:59.840 --> 02:21:03.350 you know, have cattle. So they're already halfway there, and 1910 02:21:03.389 --> 02:21:08.190 they're interested in, you know, what we do and how 1911 02:21:08.250 --> 02:21:12.450 we do it. And every chance I get, I tell her, 1912 02:21:14.010 --> 02:21:17.090 a little more about prepping. And I said, it only 1913 02:21:17.159 --> 02:21:19.500 makes sense. And she said, yes. And we talked about 1914 02:21:19.559 --> 02:21:24.120 COVID and how we were able to stay in our 1915 02:21:24.200 --> 02:21:27.780 house for six weeks and not come out because we 1916 02:21:27.840 --> 02:21:34.030 had everything we needed. So share it, you know, in 1917 02:21:34.069 --> 02:21:39.379 your Work at church. A lot of people say, no, no, 1918 02:21:39.420 --> 02:21:42.360 don't tell people what you got. I'm not saying tell 1919 02:21:42.440 --> 02:21:47.469 people what you got. I'm saying the less people that 1920 02:21:47.620 --> 02:21:51.209 aren't prepared, the less people will show up at your door. 1921 02:21:52.989 --> 02:21:54.350 Wait. Yeah. 1922 02:21:55.209 --> 02:21:57.469 It's one less person that will show up at your 1923 02:21:57.530 --> 02:22:01.530 door and need help. If they're prepping... If they're doing 1924 02:22:01.610 --> 02:22:06.379 something like, she's raising cattle. I can't raise cattle. In 1925 02:22:06.420 --> 02:22:10.459 a SHTF situation, I know where I can get some cattle. 1926 02:22:11.299 --> 02:22:18.620 And I would trade. You know, it only makes sense. 1927 02:22:19.659 --> 02:22:26.809 Prepperdom needs to expand, not contract. And it's contracting right 1928 02:22:26.850 --> 02:22:28.129 now under Donald Trump. 1929 02:22:28.750 --> 02:22:28.989 But. 1930 02:22:31.850 --> 02:22:35.989 Gosh, you never know who's going to be interested. So 1931 02:22:36.110 --> 02:22:42.000 share your prepping tips, tricks, and techniques. And you may 1932 02:22:42.010 --> 02:22:45.540 have another person in your group. So take care and 1933 02:22:45.579 --> 02:22:50.520 prep on. PBN, hello everyone out there in internet radio land. 1934 02:22:50.899 --> 02:22:54.040 I just did the prepper tip on sharing. Not all 1935 02:22:54.079 --> 02:22:58.629 these tips you're going to agree with, okay? And not 1936 02:22:59.409 --> 02:23:02.129 all tips are created equal, so some tips are more 1937 02:23:02.229 --> 02:23:06.059 valuable than others, but here's a really good one. Know 1938 02:23:06.120 --> 02:23:10.799 where your water shutoff valve is. Know how to shut 1939 02:23:10.899 --> 02:23:15.260 off the water coming into your house and the electricity 1940 02:23:15.440 --> 02:23:19.959 coming into your house, okay? These are some things that 1941 02:23:20.579 --> 02:23:24.200 you should know how to do because they say cold 1942 02:23:24.260 --> 02:23:28.520 weather's coming, and if you have a broken pipe man, 1943 02:23:28.600 --> 02:23:32.780 you sure don't want that situation. So know your water 1944 02:23:32.819 --> 02:23:37.170 shut off, your electric shut off. Know how to shut 1945 02:23:37.250 --> 02:23:40.430 off the things coming into your house. Now, if you don't, 1946 02:23:40.989 --> 02:23:45.270 go out there and find it. Have that key handy. 1947 02:23:45.729 --> 02:23:49.670 If you're on city water, there's a key, and you 1948 02:23:49.709 --> 02:23:52.510 need to have that key, and that key needs to 1949 02:23:52.549 --> 02:23:56.829 be in a particular place so that if anything happens, 1950 02:23:56.950 --> 02:24:00.700 you could shut it. What if the water's contaminated? And, 1951 02:24:01.340 --> 02:24:04.139 you know, they make this announcement, shut the water off 1952 02:24:04.180 --> 02:24:08.500 going into your house, okay, until they figure out the contamination, 1953 02:24:09.079 --> 02:24:12.309 and then turn it back on, let it flow. So 1954 02:24:12.569 --> 02:24:16.010 you need to know where your water and electricity shutoff is. 1955 02:24:16.530 --> 02:24:22.649 That's my prepper tip. Take care and prep on. what 1956 02:24:22.670 --> 02:24:24.969 do you stockpile? What do you keep on hand? What 1957 02:24:24.989 --> 02:24:28.350 do you have more of? Okay, so I'm just going 1958 02:24:28.370 --> 02:24:30.940 to go down through a list just off the top 1959 02:24:30.979 --> 02:24:33.719 of my head. And if you don't have these things, 1960 02:24:34.120 --> 02:24:35.620 maybe you should look into them. 1961 02:24:36.100 --> 02:24:36.440 Okay. 1962 02:24:37.719 --> 02:24:42.549 Mouse and rat traps. Rodents are going to be a 1963 02:24:42.549 --> 02:24:45.010 problem in SHTF. And if you don't have a weight 1964 02:24:45.049 --> 02:24:48.000 of take care of that problem. Mouse and rat traps. 1965 02:24:48.040 --> 02:24:51.200 You got to have them. And you can also use 1966 02:24:51.239 --> 02:24:52.280 them for booby traps. 1967 02:24:52.829 --> 02:24:53.209 Salt. 1968 02:24:53.670 --> 02:24:55.930 You need salt. You need tons of salt. You need 1969 02:24:55.989 --> 02:25:01.190 pickling salt, salt to dry meat, uh, cure ham. Uh, you, 1970 02:25:01.389 --> 02:25:06.420 you just need salt, different kinds of salt. Um, honey. If, if, uh, 1971 02:25:07.450 --> 02:25:11.959 Honey can be used as an antibiotic. It can be 1972 02:25:12.079 --> 02:25:18.270 used to make alcohol, you know, mead. Honey never goes bad. 1973 02:25:18.329 --> 02:25:24.190 It never spoils. So honey, you should have honey. Of course, 1974 02:25:24.309 --> 02:25:28.370 everybody knows that we stockpile our ammunition, but have like 1975 02:25:28.829 --> 02:25:35.399 calibers and have calibers that are prolific. The 9mm is 1976 02:25:35.520 --> 02:25:40.559 the most used ammo in the entire world. So if 1977 02:25:40.579 --> 02:25:49.950 you stockpile any ammunition, 9mm. But make sure that you're... Weapons, 1978 02:25:50.790 --> 02:25:55.989 you don't have one 9mm, one. 38, one. 357, whatever. 1979 02:25:56.409 --> 02:26:02.479 Have them all 9mm. You'll at least have some bartering material. 1980 02:26:03.879 --> 02:26:05.979 And of course, if you're putting up food, put up 1981 02:26:06.139 --> 02:26:11.479 different types of food stored differently. You should have frozen food. 1982 02:26:11.540 --> 02:26:16.840 By the way, frozen meat never goes bad. If you 1983 02:26:16.889 --> 02:26:19.229 keep it frozen, it never goes bad. It just gets 1984 02:26:19.329 --> 02:26:24.090 freezer burned. It may taste crappy, but it still has 1985 02:26:24.149 --> 02:26:27.090 the nutrition and all that kind of stuff. So you 1986 02:26:27.110 --> 02:26:29.809 should have frozen food. You should have canned food. You 1987 02:26:29.829 --> 02:26:33.510 should have dried food. And you should have freeze-dried food. 1988 02:26:35.190 --> 02:26:42.069 You know, just a myriad. And everything has a different use. 1989 02:26:42.549 --> 02:26:46.840 It's like having different tools around. for the same thing 1990 02:26:46.879 --> 02:26:52.020 you're going to eat but you you know dried something 1991 02:26:52.079 --> 02:26:56.129 may be better than canned that thing and of course 1992 02:26:56.229 --> 02:27:03.309 freeze-dried food lightest easiest to pack longest shelf life hardest 1993 02:27:03.409 --> 02:27:06.690 and most expensive to get but you should have some 1994 02:27:06.930 --> 02:27:12.120 of each of it and and currency right You should 1995 02:27:12.159 --> 02:27:16.040 have a little, little cash. You just have some cash 1996 02:27:16.600 --> 02:27:18.700 because there's going to be a time period where people 1997 02:27:18.760 --> 02:27:22.969 are only taking cash. And then when that becomes useless, 1998 02:27:23.989 --> 02:27:28.649 then you're going to have to barter. So after, you know, 1999 02:27:28.889 --> 02:27:34.129 some cash on hand and then, you know, silver, gold, whatever. 2000 02:27:34.530 --> 02:27:39.250 What a goldbacks. I love goldbacks. So this is just 2001 02:27:39.350 --> 02:27:43.620 a litany. of things, what to stockpile. And if I 2002 02:27:43.659 --> 02:27:46.899 think of a stockpile too, I'll do that. Take care 2003 02:27:47.719 --> 02:27:51.579 and prep on. I tip a day every day for 2004 02:27:51.579 --> 02:27:55.340 30 days and somehow I missed the 8th of September. 2005 02:27:55.399 --> 02:27:57.360 So I'm going to put this one up for the 8th. 2006 02:27:58.360 --> 02:28:05.700 And it is things you should stockpile two or one. 2007 02:28:07.020 --> 02:28:10.040 I'm going to do several of these stockpile things because 2008 02:28:10.399 --> 02:28:15.739 I keep forgetting, you know, like Clorox. Okay, you should 2009 02:28:15.780 --> 02:28:20.979 have a supply of Clorox. It does a myriad of things. Also, 2010 02:28:21.479 --> 02:28:29.000 you know, decontaminates for nerve agent and purifies water. You 2011 02:28:29.020 --> 02:28:36.719 can wipe things down if there's a virus. Alcohol, 70% 2012 02:28:36.719 --> 02:28:40.920 or greater. There again, you need alcohol for all different 2013 02:28:40.959 --> 02:28:45.600 types of things. Drugs. And latex gloves. You should have 2014 02:28:45.639 --> 02:28:48.540 a pack or two of latex gloves. Get them cheap 2015 02:28:48.600 --> 02:28:53.659 at Costco. I think $ 20 will get you like 1,600 gloves. 2016 02:28:54.940 --> 02:28:58.409 You can use them for processing game or animals or pets. 2017 02:28:58.850 --> 02:29:02.090 You know, any number of things, but gloves you should have. 2018 02:29:04.010 --> 02:29:07.790 N95 masks, you can get them now. Don't wait till 2019 02:29:07.809 --> 02:29:11.770 the pandemic starts. You need to have N95 masks on 2020 02:29:11.809 --> 02:29:16.639 hand because they are the hospital standard. 95 or 100, 2021 02:29:16.639 --> 02:29:25.020 you decide. Little things like this. And don't forget all 2022 02:29:25.120 --> 02:29:32.079 your non-prescription masks. medicines, and you can get that list 2023 02:29:32.760 --> 02:29:40.620 from PBN Family or Dr. Forgy's Prepper's Medical Handbook. It's awesome. 2024 02:29:41.319 --> 02:29:46.770 So there you go, PBN Family. That is Stockpiling 2. 2025 02:29:46.770 --> 02:29:52.309 Stockpiling 2 or 1. You'll see several stockpilings, okay? Take 2026 02:29:52.350 --> 02:29:56.000 care and prep on. Hello, everyone out there in the 2027 02:29:56.020 --> 02:29:59.200 Internet Radioland. This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy. If 2028 02:29:59.280 --> 02:30:01.489 I sound a little different, it's because my throat's got 2029 02:30:01.520 --> 02:30:05.590 a horse. I was playing all kinds of games and yelling. 2030 02:30:06.530 --> 02:30:10.270 We have at the school, you know, we do what 2031 02:30:10.309 --> 02:30:13.290 they call retreat. Well, this year we didn't retreat to anywhere. 2032 02:30:13.329 --> 02:30:15.950 We just played in the gym, and boy, it was something. 2033 02:30:17.670 --> 02:30:21.569 But my prepper tip of the day is cash. Cash 2034 02:30:21.649 --> 02:30:24.819 is king. At least that's what they say. You need 2035 02:30:24.840 --> 02:30:32.479 to have some cash on hand. Massive power failures, solar storms, whatever. 2036 02:30:33.280 --> 02:30:37.209 If you can't get to the ATM or use your card, 2037 02:30:37.750 --> 02:30:41.170 cash is the only thing that will work. So you 2038 02:30:41.209 --> 02:30:44.329 need to have some cash on hand. How much? Well, 2039 02:30:44.450 --> 02:30:50.670 Dave Ramsey recommends $ 1, 000. He says most problems or emergencies 2040 02:30:50.719 --> 02:30:55.709 that come up, you can handle cash. With $ 1, 000. And, 2041 02:30:55.870 --> 02:30:58.409 you know, you may have to adjust that accordingly to 2042 02:30:58.469 --> 02:31:02.209 inflation or to your income. You know, if you can't 2043 02:31:02.250 --> 02:31:07.770 do $ 1, 000, do $ 100. You know, take $ 20 out a month. 2044 02:31:08.799 --> 02:31:12.840 Five months, you'll have $ 100. And just work on it. 2045 02:31:12.879 --> 02:31:20.579 Keep that cash. Emergency funds only. Not splurging. Not shopping. 2046 02:31:22.139 --> 02:31:25.120 Keep it on hand. for when the lights go out. 2047 02:31:25.180 --> 02:31:26.879 That's the prepper tip of the day. 2048 02:31:27.040 --> 02:31:27.520 Cash. 2049 02:31:28.860 --> 02:31:35.200 Take care and prep on. And your tip today is seeds. Seeds. 2050 02:31:35.760 --> 02:31:45.170 That's right. Only use organic seeds. The normal, the vast 2051 02:31:45.270 --> 02:31:50.110 majority of the seeds have been genetically modified to grow better, 2052 02:31:50.250 --> 02:31:58.549 to resist bugs, um, They will not procreate. So the 2053 02:31:58.790 --> 02:32:01.809 vast majority of the seeds that are out there will 2054 02:32:01.889 --> 02:32:07.909 not benefit you in an SHTF situation. You can't harvest 2055 02:32:08.010 --> 02:32:11.959 the tomato seeds and plant another tomato plant. They will 2056 02:32:12.020 --> 02:32:15.920 not germinate. And another tip, two tips in one. How 2057 02:32:15.940 --> 02:32:21.040 about that? Before you plant your seeds, sprout them. Put 2058 02:32:21.100 --> 02:32:28.200 them in water overnight. It helps guarantee more success. So 2059 02:32:28.299 --> 02:32:34.799 sprout them first. So look into seeds, organic seeds, heirloom seeds. 2060 02:32:35.899 --> 02:32:42.879 Have a stockpile of those. You know, at least two 2061 02:32:43.020 --> 02:32:48.059 seasons worth. of seeds on hand, two seasons, because what 2062 02:32:48.100 --> 02:32:53.700 if one season doesn't do very good, and, and store 2063 02:32:53.739 --> 02:32:57.399 them properly, seeds, that's your prepper tip for the day, 2064 02:32:58.280 --> 02:33:02.780 take care, and prep on. Guy, and I'm gonna bestow 2065 02:33:02.879 --> 02:33:12.440 upon you a technique, a tip, um, That really, really 2066 02:33:12.659 --> 02:33:15.180 is part of my plan. 2067 02:33:15.200 --> 02:33:16.299 Okay? 2068 02:33:17.020 --> 02:33:20.510 And it's called the mini bug out. The mini bug 2069 02:33:20.629 --> 02:33:29.629 out is when you just can't... There's too many people 2070 02:33:31.610 --> 02:33:36.700 at your front door. And you know that someone. 2071 02:33:36.299 --> 02:33:36.940 Is going to die. 2072 02:33:36.979 --> 02:33:39.399 And it most likely will be you or your family. 2073 02:33:39.979 --> 02:33:40.120 So. 2074 02:33:40.969 --> 02:33:45.670 The mini bug out is have a place already selected, 2075 02:33:45.690 --> 02:33:49.860 a bug out location. Just don't go somewhere and do something. 2076 02:33:50.340 --> 02:33:55.299 So the mini bug out, go to that place, set up, 2077 02:33:56.500 --> 02:34:03.459 wait until you can reoccupy your house, okay? Because once 2078 02:34:03.540 --> 02:34:07.950 they find everything that they want to find and take, 2079 02:34:09.829 --> 02:34:15.329 you can go back. The thing is, you know where 2080 02:34:15.899 --> 02:34:20.579 your resources are. You know where everything is and how 2081 02:34:20.680 --> 02:34:24.940 everything works. A band of marauders are just looking for 2082 02:34:25.020 --> 02:34:30.340 something to snatch and go to the next place. You 2083 02:34:30.379 --> 02:34:35.079 may even want to set some things obviously out and 2084 02:34:35.159 --> 02:34:38.110 hide the rest of your preps so that when they 2085 02:34:38.229 --> 02:34:43.579 snatch it, They go. So the mini bug out, you know, 2086 02:34:43.590 --> 02:34:48.559 maybe it's a park. Maybe it's just a wooded area, 2087 02:34:48.600 --> 02:34:52.280 you know, with a stream. And it shouldn't be very 2088 02:34:52.360 --> 02:34:56.020 far because chances are you're going to be bugging out. 2089 02:34:57.860 --> 02:34:58.479 At night. 2090 02:35:00.200 --> 02:35:03.090 So how far can you travel at night with your 2091 02:35:03.129 --> 02:35:06.149 family in tow? And they all got their bug out bags. 2092 02:35:07.760 --> 02:35:10.899 So it shouldn't be very far, but far enough away 2093 02:35:11.600 --> 02:35:15.600 that no one's going to follow you. So mine's up 2094 02:35:15.750 --> 02:35:19.930 over the hill and back down the other side. It's about, well, 2095 02:35:20.610 --> 02:35:23.870 a kilometer, but it's through the woods. I know there's 2096 02:35:23.889 --> 02:35:28.590 a water source there. And we have a tent just 2097 02:35:28.649 --> 02:35:33.950 for that purpose. And, you know, maybe not even a tent. 2098 02:35:34.450 --> 02:35:37.799 If you have a hunting blind... You know, they pop up. 2099 02:35:37.899 --> 02:35:41.200 They're very light. They're made for hunters to take into woods. 2100 02:35:41.219 --> 02:35:44.440 There are two tips in one. A hunting blind can 2101 02:35:44.479 --> 02:35:48.020 be a great makeshift tent that you only use for 2102 02:35:48.059 --> 02:35:51.209 a few days until you can get back into your house. 2103 02:35:51.270 --> 02:35:54.489 So there you go. That's the concept. Check it out. 2104 02:35:55.489 --> 02:35:58.010 It may or may not work for you, but the 2105 02:35:58.149 --> 02:36:04.909 mini bug out. Take care and prep on. Obstacles. You 2106 02:36:04.950 --> 02:36:08.510 want to be able to create obstacles for anybody. This 2107 02:36:08.569 --> 02:36:12.559 is part of your security plan. In your security plan, 2108 02:36:12.590 --> 02:36:18.920 there should be obstacles. An obstacle is anything that channels 2109 02:36:19.020 --> 02:36:26.000 people or makes people change their route. These obstacles need 2110 02:36:26.020 --> 02:36:31.540 to look as natural as possible, like a fallen tree, 2111 02:36:31.559 --> 02:36:36.930 an abandoned vehicle, You know, if you had a truck 2112 02:36:37.610 --> 02:36:42.739 that was abandoned and, you know, just burned out maybe, 2113 02:36:43.739 --> 02:36:48.020 but you channel people into an area to get around 2114 02:36:48.069 --> 02:36:52.389 the truck. You know, one side's maybe a cliff and 2115 02:36:52.450 --> 02:36:56.649 the other side, it may be a hill. So you 2116 02:36:56.670 --> 02:36:59.899 put the truck in there sideways so they go, you know, 2117 02:37:00.030 --> 02:37:04.030 around the truck on the hillside. What this does is 2118 02:37:04.110 --> 02:37:10.149 it allows you to be able to detect people because 2119 02:37:10.170 --> 02:37:14.540 you've channeled them in there. That's where you want to 2120 02:37:14.600 --> 02:37:22.200 put whatever alarm signal detection device or that's the place 2121 02:37:22.280 --> 02:37:25.409 where you want to put a sentry, a post, you know, 2122 02:37:25.469 --> 02:37:31.540 someone to watch. You always have to have... uh, in 2123 02:37:31.579 --> 02:37:35.940 the military, we, we used to put the machine guns 2124 02:37:35.959 --> 02:37:40.729 at covering the obstacles because as they go around the 2125 02:37:40.840 --> 02:37:45.190 obstacle and you channel their movement, um, You know, not 2126 02:37:45.209 --> 02:37:46.790 that I have a machine gun or anything. 2127 02:37:46.850 --> 02:37:47.170 I don't. 2128 02:37:48.549 --> 02:37:52.850 But you want to be able to control the flow 2129 02:37:53.510 --> 02:37:58.799 of people and you definitely want to put them on foot. 2130 02:37:59.780 --> 02:38:05.819 So whatever the obstacle is has to put them on 2131 02:38:05.979 --> 02:38:09.540 foot to make them walk. And if you make the 2132 02:38:09.739 --> 02:38:13.719 obstacle look natural, it won't stand out in any way 2133 02:38:14.940 --> 02:38:18.559 To alarm someone, hey, there must be something up there 2134 02:38:18.920 --> 02:38:20.819 because there's a drawbridge. 2135 02:38:22.680 --> 02:38:23.049 Okay? 2136 02:38:23.549 --> 02:38:27.370 So that's my prepper tip of the day. Obstacles. Have 2137 02:38:27.530 --> 02:38:32.129 obstacles in your security plan. Take care and prep on. 2138 02:38:33.149 --> 02:38:39.489 Have a place if you're worried about fallout. Okay? Have 2139 02:38:39.569 --> 02:38:45.430 a place already selected that is the lowest possible furthest 2140 02:38:45.909 --> 02:38:50.049 underground back portion of your house if you have a 2141 02:38:50.110 --> 02:38:55.090 basement if you don't have a basement locate that place 2142 02:38:55.649 --> 02:39:01.540 that is in the exact center of your house okay 2143 02:39:01.559 --> 02:39:08.340 you know this that everything is shielding when it comes 2144 02:39:08.379 --> 02:39:13.059 to radiation everything even air So the further away you 2145 02:39:13.200 --> 02:39:17.899 are from the outside wall, the less radiation you're going 2146 02:39:17.920 --> 02:39:21.600 to get. So if you're ever worried about fallout, have 2147 02:39:21.659 --> 02:39:25.899 this place already identified so that you don't have to think, 2148 02:39:26.680 --> 02:39:30.180 run around like a chicken with your head cut off, which, 2149 02:39:30.260 --> 02:39:32.069 by the way, we're doing some butchering today. 2150 02:39:32.090 --> 02:39:33.170 Oh, yeah. 2151 02:39:33.569 --> 02:39:38.719 Keep your butchering supplies all in one tote. So when 2152 02:39:38.760 --> 02:39:43.790 you go to butcher, you have your knives, your sharpeners, 2153 02:39:43.969 --> 02:39:49.170 everything all in one place. You're going to process food, 2154 02:39:50.270 --> 02:39:54.069 whether you're hunting it or growing it. So why not 2155 02:39:54.129 --> 02:39:57.250 have a separate set of knives just for butchering? And 2156 02:39:57.309 --> 02:39:59.520 I do that. And I have it in a bin 2157 02:39:59.540 --> 02:40:04.379 along with the sharpener. So there you go. Two tips 2158 02:40:04.440 --> 02:40:08.379 in one. Identify a place that you can go And 2159 02:40:08.459 --> 02:40:10.170 this is for peace of mind. 2160 02:40:10.930 --> 02:40:11.250 Okay. 2161 02:40:11.649 --> 02:40:14.750 You know that that's the safest place, whether you get 2162 02:40:14.829 --> 02:40:15.850 fallout or not. 2163 02:40:16.870 --> 02:40:17.129 Okay. 2164 02:40:17.190 --> 02:40:22.690 If something happens and you have this overwhelming fear of fallout, 2165 02:40:23.250 --> 02:40:27.399 already have that place identified to take that level of 2166 02:40:27.500 --> 02:40:32.260 stress off your mind. You just say, okay, I'm here. 2167 02:40:32.280 --> 02:40:36.799 I've done all I can to protect myself and my family. 2168 02:40:37.379 --> 02:40:45.620 from radiation and wait. Yeah, I know. How long? Maybe 2169 02:40:45.639 --> 02:40:50.379 that's another tip. Take care and prep on. Okay, I've 2170 02:40:50.440 --> 02:40:53.799 said this many, many times. If you think you may 2171 02:40:53.840 --> 02:40:57.239 get fallout and you have no way of detecting it, 2172 02:40:57.879 --> 02:41:03.659 take a white plate out of your house and Sit 2173 02:41:03.719 --> 02:41:08.020 it far enough away that the house isn't blocking it 2174 02:41:08.159 --> 02:41:10.459 or trees or things like that. Set it in the 2175 02:41:10.540 --> 02:41:14.139 open and wait 24 hours. 2176 02:41:14.879 --> 02:41:15.200 Okay? 2177 02:41:15.979 --> 02:41:21.149 Go out and check the plate. If there's dark, gritty, 2178 02:41:22.149 --> 02:41:30.610 ash-like stuff on that white plate, that's fallout. Don't confuse 2179 02:41:30.629 --> 02:41:33.290 it with pollen. You know what pollen looks like. It 2180 02:41:33.389 --> 02:41:37.469 always goes over your car. Don't freak out for pollen, 2181 02:41:37.510 --> 02:41:44.010 but this is something that looks like it's been burnt, charred, gritty. 2182 02:41:44.690 --> 02:41:49.170 It's going to be burnt up dirt, okay? So that's 2183 02:41:49.190 --> 02:41:52.170 what it's going to look like. Now, 24 hours, if 2184 02:41:52.250 --> 02:41:55.489 you do not get anything on that plate, you are 2185 02:41:55.629 --> 02:41:59.819 never going to get fallout in your location. So that's 2186 02:41:59.879 --> 02:42:03.239 my tip of the day for fallout. If you're worried 2187 02:42:03.700 --> 02:42:06.879 and you don't have a radiac meter to detect radiation, 2188 02:42:07.899 --> 02:42:12.469 use a white plate and stick it out in the open. Okay, 2189 02:42:12.549 --> 02:42:16.069 so that should alleviate your fears for fallout. Take care 2190 02:42:16.489 --> 02:42:25.639 and prep on. Have a pruning shears, pruning scissors. The 2191 02:42:25.719 --> 02:42:30.780 big two feet long, you know, that cut branches. I mean, 2192 02:42:30.860 --> 02:42:36.120 it's stainless steel. It cuts branches. So you can use 2193 02:42:36.180 --> 02:42:42.639 it to process rabbits, anything. You can use it to 2194 02:42:42.860 --> 02:42:47.299 process deer because it cuts the bones and you don't 2195 02:42:47.500 --> 02:42:51.659 mess up your knife. So just keep one of these. 2196 02:42:52.799 --> 02:42:56.520 They're probably on clearance right now. I think I got 2197 02:42:56.579 --> 02:42:59.670 my last one for $ 13. And man, it is worth 2198 02:42:59.670 --> 02:43:03.129 $ 13 to be able to do that and save the 2199 02:43:03.329 --> 02:43:08.930 edge on your knife for something else. And if you 2200 02:43:08.969 --> 02:43:11.809 have to, for something bigger, a. 2201 02:43:13.909 --> 02:43:14.409 Hatchet. 2202 02:43:15.729 --> 02:43:24.549 A hatchet. Yes. Because sometimes we feed our dogs... pig heads. 2203 02:43:25.209 --> 02:43:29.290 And I hatchet them in half and then cut all 2204 02:43:29.329 --> 02:43:32.430 the meat and everything off the ears. You know, we 2205 02:43:32.450 --> 02:43:37.510 just processed, I think it was 18 rabbits. And this 2206 02:43:37.610 --> 02:43:43.040 is right now we're doing, we finished. And how great 2207 02:43:43.079 --> 02:43:46.459 that was to have those pruning shears to cut the 2208 02:43:46.520 --> 02:43:51.420 necks and the legs, you know, the heads off. The 2209 02:43:51.469 --> 02:43:54.049 heads we also give to the dogs as treats, and 2210 02:43:54.069 --> 02:43:58.850 the legs and the tails. We save the liver, the kidneys, 2211 02:43:59.290 --> 02:44:03.709 and the heart for the dogs. That's all great protein, 2212 02:44:03.969 --> 02:44:07.790 and there you go. That is my tip for the day. 2213 02:44:08.350 --> 02:44:15.819 Pruning scissors. Pruning, yeah, scissors. Take care, and prep on. 2214 02:44:26.500 --> 02:44:29.540 Hello everyone out there in internet radio land. This is 2215 02:44:29.659 --> 02:44:33.500 Dave Jones, the NBC guy, coming to you with another tip. 2216 02:44:33.500 --> 02:44:36.899 30 tips in 30 days. How do you think this 2217 02:44:37.000 --> 02:44:42.540 is going? Do you think this is something valuable? Or 2218 02:44:43.120 --> 02:44:47.260 am I just wasting my breath? Now, you all voted 2219 02:44:47.280 --> 02:44:50.780 to get me to do this, so I'm pretty sure 2220 02:44:50.819 --> 02:44:56.879 you're listening. It's just we never know. PBN never knows. 2221 02:44:57.469 --> 02:45:00.409 And if you're not listening to PBN, I have to say, 2222 02:45:01.370 --> 02:45:07.870 what the flip? I said that the other day in class. 2223 02:45:07.930 --> 02:45:11.969 I said, WTF? And everybody started laughing. And I said, 2224 02:45:12.030 --> 02:45:21.190 that means what the flip, right? Anyway, today's tip is 2225 02:45:21.309 --> 02:45:27.149 magnesium chloride. Fire starters. This is a thing that was 2226 02:45:27.309 --> 02:45:32.969 in the survival kits of downed pilots and things like that. 2227 02:45:33.870 --> 02:45:40.190 Magnesium burns at thousands of degrees. It's very soft. You 2228 02:45:40.229 --> 02:45:43.610 can cut it with your knife. And the idea is, 2229 02:45:44.350 --> 02:45:48.110 on one side of the magnesium fire starter, you can 2230 02:45:48.270 --> 02:45:54.739 shave off some magnesium. Now, just shavings. Okay, the other 2231 02:45:54.819 --> 02:46:01.040 side is a ferrous rod, but it's not very good. 2232 02:46:01.120 --> 02:46:03.559 But I mean, it will work. It will work. It 2233 02:46:03.620 --> 02:46:10.540 will make sparks. The idea is magnesium. I've seen it 2234 02:46:10.739 --> 02:46:15.659 actually set wet leaves on fire. Okay, so if you 2235 02:46:15.739 --> 02:46:20.700 have nothing else but a magnesium fire starter, you know, 2236 02:46:21.219 --> 02:46:27.079 no Bigfoot fur. No fire nuggets, as I call them. 2237 02:46:28.819 --> 02:46:31.829 You can start a fire with a magnesium fire starter 2238 02:46:32.469 --> 02:46:36.069 and twigs, even if they're wet. So that is my 2239 02:46:36.209 --> 02:46:39.049 prepper tip of the day. If you're going to put 2240 02:46:39.170 --> 02:46:44.229 fire starters in everyone's bug out bag, I highly recommend 2241 02:46:44.709 --> 02:46:50.610 the magnesium fire starters. You can get them at Harbor 2242 02:46:50.670 --> 02:46:55.780 Freight for like two bucks. Two dollars, and they're well 2243 02:46:55.819 --> 02:47:01.200 worth every penny. Take care, and prep on. And I 2244 02:47:01.280 --> 02:47:07.590 have another tip for you. Decrease your dependency on electricity. 2245 02:47:08.370 --> 02:47:12.450 I know, it seems like a no-brainer, but really examine 2246 02:47:13.309 --> 02:47:21.870 what is essential, what must function no matter what. and 2247 02:47:22.370 --> 02:47:28.030 determine that everything else is secondary. And when you do that, 2248 02:47:28.590 --> 02:47:32.579 you'll have a good idea of how much electricity you 2249 02:47:32.639 --> 02:47:35.680 need to produce at any one time. So then it 2250 02:47:35.719 --> 02:47:40.500 becomes easier to judge if a solar operation is going 2251 02:47:40.520 --> 02:47:46.520 to be, or a generator, gas generator, propane generator, multi-fuel 2252 02:47:46.620 --> 02:47:53.239 generator is going to fit your needs. And I'm not talking, 2253 02:47:53.500 --> 02:47:57.440 you know, here at the Jones Homestead, we have three refrigerators, 2254 02:47:57.520 --> 02:48:03.860 five freezers. Those are not essential. If everything goes to crap, 2255 02:48:04.680 --> 02:48:08.360 we'll let that food thaw out, smoke it, can it, 2256 02:48:08.799 --> 02:48:15.709 cook it. They are just convenient right now. But if 2257 02:48:15.750 --> 02:48:22.329 the power goes out, you need things like lighting for security, 2258 02:48:23.930 --> 02:48:34.370 detection devices, communication devices, rechargeable batteries. And when you get 2259 02:48:34.430 --> 02:48:37.229 down to the basic level, as a matter of fact, 2260 02:48:37.290 --> 02:48:42.610 my water heater isn't even electric. The water pump is, 2261 02:48:43.790 --> 02:48:50.579 but the water heater is on-demand propane. So, whereas I 2262 02:48:50.680 --> 02:48:55.180 need to have enough electricity for my water pump to operate, 2263 02:48:55.889 --> 02:48:58.969 I also have a hand pump that I haven't put 2264 02:48:59.049 --> 02:49:02.930 in yet, but I'm going to put it in. We 2265 02:49:02.969 --> 02:49:07.590 also have several sources of water here on the mountain. So, 2266 02:49:09.170 --> 02:49:13.209 when I get tired enough of hauling water, I will 2267 02:49:13.270 --> 02:49:17.950 put the hand pump in my well. Laughter So there 2268 02:49:17.969 --> 02:49:21.090 you go, PBN family. My tip is to find out 2269 02:49:21.250 --> 02:49:28.219 what is really essential. What do you really need to power? 2270 02:49:29.780 --> 02:49:34.750 And then everything else is secondary. Take care and prep on. 2271 02:49:36.309 --> 02:49:39.670 You need to have at least one compass per bug 2272 02:49:39.770 --> 02:49:43.829 out bag. And everybody in your group needs to know 2273 02:49:43.889 --> 02:49:50.629 how to use a compass. I highly recommend the Prepper's 2274 02:49:50.770 --> 02:49:57.090 Survival Navigation book. It was written by G-Man. He boils 2275 02:49:57.190 --> 02:50:03.319 down and distills military land navigation in an easy-to-understand manner. 2276 02:50:04.760 --> 02:50:08.780 manual that you could put right in your backpack and 2277 02:50:08.840 --> 02:50:14.149 take it with you and practice anywhere you go. Terrain associate, 2278 02:50:14.649 --> 02:50:19.389 but have a compass and know how to use it. 2279 02:50:19.469 --> 02:50:23.329 At least one. When I was in the army, I 2280 02:50:23.409 --> 02:50:27.809 carried more than one compass just in case my main 2281 02:50:27.909 --> 02:50:33.479 compass got broke. This is before GPS. And if you 2282 02:50:33.520 --> 02:50:36.600 believe in EMP and the SHTF and all that kind 2283 02:50:36.639 --> 02:50:42.190 of stuff, a compass will work when GPS is down. 2284 02:50:42.209 --> 02:50:47.709 A compass still works as long as the Earth has 2285 02:50:47.750 --> 02:50:52.409 a magnetic field. So this, I can't recommend this enough. 2286 02:50:54.000 --> 02:50:57.579 Get you that book. It's like 15 bucks. It'll probably 2287 02:50:57.639 --> 02:51:01.920 be the best land nav book you ever purchase. Easy 2288 02:51:01.959 --> 02:51:07.600 to understand. and get at least one compass per bug 2289 02:51:07.680 --> 02:51:11.770 out bag per person. That's my prepper tip for the day, 2290 02:51:11.790 --> 02:51:18.290 a compass. Take care and prep on. The three knives are, 2291 02:51:19.350 --> 02:51:22.409 whenever you bug out, or you go on an extended 2292 02:51:22.930 --> 02:51:27.540 field exercise, or you just go outside the wire, okay? 2293 02:51:28.059 --> 02:51:34.090 Whenever you're going for a walk movement, You need three knives. 2294 02:51:34.969 --> 02:51:39.739 The first knife is like a small machete. Maybe 24 2295 02:51:39.739 --> 02:51:41.620 to 27, 30 inches long. I highly recommend the cold steel. 2296 02:51:41.639 --> 02:51:51.729 It's 27 inches. Very good steel. I've never had a 2297 02:51:51.770 --> 02:51:57.100 bad cold steel experience, okay? And that is to blaze 2298 02:51:57.139 --> 02:52:02.920 your trail, build your campsite, do whatever heavy lifting you 2299 02:52:02.959 --> 02:52:07.750 got to do with a knife. And then the second 2300 02:52:07.809 --> 02:52:11.870 knife is a medium knife or what most people call 2301 02:52:11.909 --> 02:52:17.219 a camp knife. full tang, fixed blade. I would not 2302 02:52:17.270 --> 02:52:20.940 go with serrations on this one. I would go with 2303 02:52:21.159 --> 02:52:25.780 a thick blade and about four or five inches long, 2304 02:52:26.239 --> 02:52:31.360 full tang. And that right there can double as a 2305 02:52:31.520 --> 02:52:35.389 skinner and it can double as a camp knife. All 2306 02:52:35.450 --> 02:52:39.629 the things you need to do around the campfire. And 2307 02:52:39.670 --> 02:52:46.219 then you need a small knife. maybe three inches, four 2308 02:52:46.329 --> 02:52:52.079 inches at the max, okay, stainless steel, maybe you hang 2309 02:52:52.120 --> 02:52:55.639 it around your neck, this is the knife that you 2310 02:52:55.680 --> 02:53:01.440 can skin with, but it's also very fine, very detailed 2311 02:53:03.000 --> 02:53:05.670 work you would do, it's not something you would beat 2312 02:53:05.770 --> 02:53:09.229 with a rock or an axe or something, you know, 2313 02:53:09.489 --> 02:53:14.629 anything like that, so three knives. You need three knives. 2314 02:53:15.129 --> 02:53:19.319 These are different tools and I do not count the 2315 02:53:19.379 --> 02:53:25.360 knife that is on your multi-tool. Okay, so you should 2316 02:53:25.399 --> 02:53:29.739 not count that. That is an emergency backup knife at best. 2317 02:53:30.219 --> 02:53:33.829 That is a cord cutting knife. Okay, that is not 2318 02:53:33.889 --> 02:53:37.709 a knife that functions in any of these other realms 2319 02:53:37.750 --> 02:53:41.659 that we're talking about. So, That's just an extra backup knife, 2320 02:53:42.360 --> 02:53:45.520 and you should have a multi-tool with you. No matter 2321 02:53:45.600 --> 02:53:53.620 where you go, it answers a multitude of situations. This 2322 02:53:53.680 --> 02:53:58.260 is your bonus tip, okay? There's never been a time 2323 02:53:58.319 --> 02:54:00.280 when I went to the field that I did not 2324 02:54:00.360 --> 02:54:07.030 carry some kind of a snack, some kind of a calorie-producing, 2325 02:54:07.409 --> 02:54:11.260 you know, Um, sometimes it was the peanut butter that 2326 02:54:11.319 --> 02:54:15.229 was in an MRE or the cheese. It's something I 2327 02:54:15.270 --> 02:54:18.309 could squirt in my mouth on the go, get a 2328 02:54:18.350 --> 02:54:22.479 little more energy to get it through to the next meal. 2329 02:54:24.979 --> 02:54:28.799 So you should always be thinking about a snack that 2330 02:54:28.840 --> 02:54:31.360 you can put in your front pocket. I always carried 2331 02:54:31.389 --> 02:54:34.309 it in my front pocket. And in my left pocket, 2332 02:54:34.389 --> 02:54:38.309 I carried a spoon in case I came across something 2333 02:54:38.750 --> 02:54:45.450 that needed a spoon. You think ahead for things like 2334 02:54:45.510 --> 02:54:51.600 that because you don't want to be without food. So 2335 02:54:52.239 --> 02:54:55.520 have a snack on you all the time whenever you 2336 02:54:55.579 --> 02:54:59.750 go outside the wire or even inside the wire. Have 2337 02:54:59.809 --> 02:55:02.709 that snack with you so that you know you have 2338 02:55:02.729 --> 02:55:08.229 X amount of calories if, you know, you just need 2339 02:55:08.250 --> 02:55:13.049 a little boost to get back home. Snacks are important. 2340 02:55:13.610 --> 02:55:17.450 So that is my tip, my extra tip for that 2341 02:55:17.690 --> 02:55:22.010 fantastic email I got from a listener. I won't tell 2342 02:55:22.059 --> 02:55:27.479 you her name, but she's somewhere in the south. And 2343 02:55:27.540 --> 02:55:31.659 I appreciate the email to let me know you're out 2344 02:55:31.700 --> 02:55:34.620 there listening.

So just send me your address. 2346 02:55:39.809 --> 02:55:42.510 We're going to Prepper Camp. It's going to be awesome. 2347 02:55:43.059 --> 02:55:46.399 I'm glad you're looking forward to all the crazy content 2348 02:55:46.440 --> 02:55:51.739 that's going to come out of this. Maria's planning to 2349 02:55:51.799 --> 02:55:58.329 have everybody over to the campsite on Thursday night. And 2350 02:55:58.610 --> 02:56:03.329 hopefully we'll be able to do some recordings. She wants 2351 02:56:03.389 --> 02:56:07.290 to feed everybody. You know, kick it off, start it off. 2352 02:56:08.329 --> 02:56:12.409 And we'll see what goes. We plan to be there 2353 02:56:12.790 --> 02:56:18.170 before the sun goes down on Thursday. And if we 2354 02:56:18.219 --> 02:56:22.360 have good internet, you'll be hearing some stuff even before that. 2355 02:56:24.079 --> 02:56:27.879 So PBN family, thank you, thank you, thank you so 2356 02:56:27.920 --> 02:56:33.250 much for listening.
