Speaker 1: PBN Family, it's time for the Prepper Tip of the Day.
Speaker 2: Hello, everyone out there in Internet Radio Land. Dave Jones,
Speaker 2: the NBC guy, with your Prepper Tip for the Day. Now,
Speaker 2: this is going to be an easy one. Your bug-out bag,
Speaker 2: your get-home bag, every bag you have, your everyday bag,
Speaker 2: you should have a set of gloves. A set of gloves.
Speaker 2: If you've ever hiked through brush or terrain, you don't
Speaker 2: want your hands ripped up by thorns and grabby things.
Speaker 2: You need to have a set of gloves in every
Speaker 2: bag you have and maybe a few, just put them
Speaker 2: in the car for people that may be with you
Speaker 2: when everything goes to craps. I can't say enough good
Speaker 2: things about gloves. I wear gloves all the time here
Speaker 2: at the Jones Homestead, whenever I'm working, and definitely whenever
Speaker 2: I'm out. That is your prepper tip for the day, gloves. Hello,
Speaker 2: everyone out there in Internet Radio Land. This is Dave Jones,
Speaker 2: the NBC guy, and I am on fire with tips. Oh,
Speaker 2: my gosh. This guy is on fire. Anyway, for all
Speaker 2: you Swifties out there, here's my tip. No, no, this
Speaker 2: is not my tip. This is what you should do.
Speaker 2: You should get hand tools. Hand tools. Listen, in my
Speaker 2: NBC class, I jokingly tell everybody, hey, when EMP hits,
Speaker 2: we just become Amish overnight. And... And I often say
Speaker 2: that if your long-term plan for survival includes electricity, you
Speaker 2: may have a bad plan. So hand tools, that's a no-brainer.
Speaker 2: My tip is estate sales. Yes, estate sales, yard sales,
Speaker 2: Trust me, you can get these things for pennies. Pennies
Speaker 2: on the dollar. I picked up a brand new Fisker
Speaker 2: axe for $ 6.
Speaker 1: $ 6.
Speaker 2: This thing is normally like $ 20, $ 30. Never used. You know,
Speaker 2: you need all the hand tools needed That you would
Speaker 2: use if the electricity was out forever. So think about that.
Speaker 2: Hand tools for everything. Do you have something to drill with?
Speaker 2: Do you have one of those hand augers? I do.
Speaker 2: I have a few of them. And the bits go in.
Speaker 2: And you can make holes by drilling with your hands. Look.
Speaker 2: Think about the worst case scenario and plan backwards from
Speaker 2: that because you can do it. You can do it.
Speaker 2: The Amish do it every day. Take care and prep on.
Speaker 2: hello everyone out there in internet radio land this is
Speaker 2: dave jones the nbc guy with you another tip the
Speaker 2: tip is it's more like a myth okay so in
Speaker 2: the back channel uh the intrepid commander said maybe we
Speaker 2: could do myths prepper myths and this is this is
Speaker 2: it uh if your plan includes hunting fishing foraging, you
Speaker 2: have a bad plan. All of those things should be extra.
Speaker 2: That is a myth. If you think you can hunt
Speaker 2: your way out of the apocalypse, that is a myth.
Speaker 2: Hunting is hope. And hope is not a strategy, okay?
Speaker 2: You have to have a plan for your protein. You
Speaker 2: have to secure it. And you have to move forward
Speaker 2: knowing that it is secure. You can't leave it to hope.
Speaker 2: So that is your prepper tip of the day. Secure
Speaker 2: your protein. Don't rely on luck. Luck is not a strategy.
Speaker 2: Take care and prep on. Hello, everyone out there in
Speaker 2: Internet Radio Land. This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy.
Speaker 2: And as you can tell, I kind of do a
Speaker 2: bunch of tips on the weekend, and then I upload
Speaker 2: them so that they land every day. I promise 30
Speaker 2: tips in 30 days. And today's tip is bartering. Trade.
Speaker 2: Everybody has something that they could trade for something that
Speaker 2: they want. And it's not what you're thinking.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: It's labor. Labor. You could do work. If you know
Speaker 2: how to split wood, you could split wood for someone
Speaker 2: to get whatever you want. You know, a day's work
Speaker 2: for an item that you need or pay. You know, gold, silver,
Speaker 2: precious metals, they only have value if value is put
Speaker 2: on them. You know, Our cash is a fiat currency,
Speaker 2: so it's backed by nothing. It's backed by your promise
Speaker 2: to work hard all your life and die. That's what
Speaker 2: our government says. The work ethic of America is what
Speaker 2: makes United States currency value. So there has never been
Speaker 2: a fiat currency issue. That hasn't failed. So in the
Speaker 2: history of the world. So it's only a matter of
Speaker 2: time till the dollar drops and you have to have
Speaker 2: something else to go back on. You know, I keep
Speaker 2: most of my gold, the gold that I do have
Speaker 2: in gold backs. I think they're fantastic. They're beautiful, practically indestructible. Silver,
Speaker 2: I have some silver. But like I said, those two
Speaker 2: items right there only have value if people put a
Speaker 2: value on them. They're pretty much worthless unless you want
Speaker 2: to conduct electricity or drop a silver coin in milk,
Speaker 2: it will retard the bacteria from forming as antibacterial properties.
Speaker 2: You can make colloidal silver from silver and distilled water
Speaker 2: by electrolysis. But that's a tip for another day. Anyway, trade.
Speaker 2: Work on it. Have a skill that is in demand.
Speaker 2: in an shtf situation and you will always have something
Speaker 2: to trade take care and prep on hello everyone out
Speaker 2: there in internet radio land this is dave jones with
Speaker 2: your first tip of national preparedness month standardization okay this
Speaker 2: is a concept more than a tip but you want
Speaker 2: to standardize things across the board amongst your family, amongst
Speaker 2: your group. I can't stress this enough, that standardization, where
Speaker 2: you carry things, what you carry, like I talked about
Speaker 2: the multi-tool the other day. If you all have the
Speaker 2: same multi-tool, you all have the same capabilities. And if
Speaker 2: you carry them in the same place, you know exactly
Speaker 2: where that person's carrying the multi-tool and you can find
Speaker 2: it in the dark and pull it out and use it.
Speaker 2: So standardization, that is your tip of the day. Standardize
Speaker 2: weapons so you can interchange parts, interchange magazines, interchange calibers.
Speaker 2: I can't stress standardization enough. Use the concept as much
Speaker 2: as possible. Take care and prep on it.
Speaker 3: Let's talk comms for our prepper tip of the day.
Speaker 3: Before we get specific on equipment, let's talk about the basics,
Speaker 3: kind of like what comms means. I know for me
Speaker 3: in my life, I've had a couple times where I've
Speaker 3: been stuck in a location and And I've not been
Speaker 3: able to either talk or hear to the outside world.
Speaker 3: And that was during a hurricane.
Speaker 1: Both times.
Speaker 3: One was at the coast and one was here in
Speaker 3: the mountains of North Carolina. So everybody thinks about prepping
Speaker 3: and the three B's, right? Beans, bullets, and Band-Aids, right?
Speaker 3: But what comes after B? C, comms. So every day
Speaker 3: we talk, we listen, we process, and then we take action.
Speaker 3: A comms plan will help us be more efficient and
Speaker 3: have a longer range for our talking and our listening.
Speaker 3: Think about, we've heard on BBN posts talking about the
Speaker 3: PACE plan, right? Primary, alternate, contingency, and emergency, right? You
Speaker 3: have four things to cover one incident. So if we
Speaker 3: put that in the realm of comms, if we do a,
Speaker 3: PACE plan for comms will have, let's just think the
Speaker 3: primary is your cell phone. It's what you use. You
Speaker 3: just carry it. Everybody's got it with them every day,
Speaker 3: and that's their primary. They talk to their family, their friends,
Speaker 3: their coworkers with the cell phone. And alternate to that
Speaker 3: is what if you just can't make a phone call
Speaker 3: because it's not socially appropriate to be talking on the phone?
Speaker 3: or because the service is spotty. Well, for your alternate plan,
Speaker 3: you could do texting, you could do emails, some kind
Speaker 3: of digital communication, which tends to have a better chance
Speaker 3: of getting through if the cell service is spotty. After
Speaker 3: that contingency, and you know me, I love to talk
Speaker 3: about radios. So we can talk about all kinds of radios, right?
Speaker 3: Not specific, but Ham, the amateur bands, the GMRS, the FRS,
Speaker 3: the little raiders that the kids run around with. And
Speaker 3: you can also think about Meshtastic, which is kind of
Speaker 3: a little more of a cutting edge, but it's gaining likes.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so contingency. After that, emergency, your last ditch effort.
Speaker 3: If you can't get your family members or your friends
Speaker 3: that you're supposed to meet up with If you can't
Speaker 3: get them on the phone, they're not replying to texts
Speaker 3: or emails, and for whatever reason, the radios aren't working,
Speaker 3: you're down to your last-ditch effort. Your PACE plan should
Speaker 3: have something set up where you guys say, okay, if
Speaker 3: this happens, we're all going to meet up at this location,
Speaker 3: and we're going to wait there for so many minutes
Speaker 3: or so many hours before we proceed on to the
Speaker 3: next location. Well, that's it for now. Hope that gets
Speaker 3: you thinking about doing a comms pace plan for yourself.
Speaker 3: Thanks for listening to Let's Talk Comms, PPN Prepper Tip
Speaker 3: of the Day.
Speaker 2: Hello everyone out there on Internet Radio Land. This is
Speaker 2: Dave Jones, the NBC guy, with your tip for the
Speaker 2: 3rd of November. Today is the first day of school,
Speaker 2: so I thought I'd record this early because I don't
Speaker 2: know how the first day is going to go, but
Speaker 2: it's going to be crazy. Hey, something I always say
Speaker 2: is capability and limitations, okay? This is another concept for prepping.
Speaker 2: You have to understand the capabilities and limitations of all
Speaker 2: your equipment and all your personnel. You wouldn't use a
Speaker 2: hammer for a screwdriver, right? So don't put a 90-pound
Speaker 2: pack on a 100-pound woman and expect her to hump
Speaker 2: a trail, right? You understand capabilities and limitations. You're only
Speaker 2: as strong as your weakest person in your group. Whoever
Speaker 2: is the worst shot, okay, that is your best you
Speaker 2: can do. So understand capabilities and limitations of your equipment,
Speaker 2: what it can do, what it can't do, and have
Speaker 2: a realistic idea of of what your people can do
Speaker 2: and what they can't do. Because you don't become Rambo
Speaker 2: in SHTF. It just doesn't happen. As a matter of fact...
Speaker 2: between the stress and the physical, you know, stress of
Speaker 2: the situation, you will become less effective, not more effective.
Speaker 2: So understand capabilities and limitations. That's your tip for today. Hello,
Speaker 2: everyone out there in Internet Radio Land. This is Dave Jones,
Speaker 2: the Emerson. The NBC guy. I'm trying to do this
Speaker 2: with two different phones. Anyway, this is your prepper tip
Speaker 2: for the day. I've got to make it quick because
Speaker 2: the warden is going to catch me. This is a
Speaker 2: tip about gorilla gardening. Gorilla gardening is using land that
Speaker 2: you have access to but you may not necessarily own.
Speaker 2: Think about the the area between two lane highways divided,
Speaker 2: the medial. In that area right there, you could sneak out,
Speaker 2: plant things that go in the ground and just leave
Speaker 2: them there. I'm talking about horseradishes, carrots, anything that's tuber, onions, garlic, ginger.
Speaker 2: Even potatoes. I mean, potatoes, who knows what a potato
Speaker 2: plant looks like, right? And if they cut it off,
Speaker 2: it will grow back. So plant them in there in
Speaker 2: the middle of darkness. No one knows they're there but you.
Speaker 2: And as long as they don't spray, they'll be there
Speaker 2: when you need it. That is the prepper tip of
Speaker 2: the day. Hello everyone out there in internet radio land.
Speaker 2: It's Dave Jones, the NBC guy, with your prepper tip
Speaker 2: of the day. Now, listen up, because this is going
Speaker 2: to be kind of complicated and kind of quick. So,
Speaker 2: your prepper arsenal should contain five weapons. Now, you should
Speaker 2: achieve these in this order. Okay? So, if you don't
Speaker 2: have any weapons, your first one you want to buy
Speaker 2: is a.
Speaker 1: 22. A.
Speaker 2: 22 caliber is a small... gun that you can hunt
Speaker 2: game with, and there's plenty of ammo out there. It's
Speaker 2: easy to carry. Number two, a nine millimeter. It's the
Speaker 2: most plentiful round in the world. In the world, it's
Speaker 2: a NATO standard. Number three, 12-gauge shotgun. A 12-gauge shotgun
Speaker 2: because of the versatility and because the home defense, close
Speaker 2: quarters defense, proximity of firing. I mean, it is an
Speaker 2: all-around great defense weapon. Number four, some type of AR gun.
Speaker 2: platform either in 5.56 or my personal favorite 7.62 because
Speaker 2: that is also a nato standard round okay and then
Speaker 2: finally your fifth weapon is something for long range shooting
Speaker 2: think sniper rifle Maybe a. 30- 06 or a 7.62. 7.62
Speaker 2: if you have them in your AR. You can standardize
Speaker 2: that cartridge for also your sniper weapon. So there, that
Speaker 2: is your prepper arsenal that you should strive to achieve.
Speaker 2: And that is your prepper tip of the day. Jones,
Speaker 2: the NBC guy with your prepper tip of the day.
Speaker 2: Now look, if you cannot afford Israeli bandages, which are like,
Speaker 2: you know, $ 8 a bandage, you should think about sterile napkins. Yes,
Speaker 2: feminine hygiene products. They are sterile, they're sanitary, and they're
Speaker 2: made to absorb blood. You can pack a lot of
Speaker 2: them into a wound to stop it from bleeding. They're inexpensive.
Speaker 2: You should have some on hand if you have females
Speaker 2: in your group that are still menstruating. And a tampon
Speaker 2: works well in a bullet wound. Just saying. That is
Speaker 2: your prepper tip for the day. So, the three knife concept.
Speaker 2: You need to always have three different types of knife.
Speaker 2: Remember I said right tool for the right job? Okay,
Speaker 2: you need to have a big knife. like a machete
Speaker 2: or a short sword. And if it has a saw
Speaker 2: tooth on the back end of it, that is great.
Speaker 2: And that goes on your get out bag, your get
Speaker 2: home bag, your, you know, what you're going to beat
Speaker 2: through the brush because you could make a shelter with that.
Speaker 2: The number two knife is the hunting camp knife. And
Speaker 2: it's a medium knife, maybe a five inch blade. a
Speaker 2: nice thick blade so it doesn't break you need to
Speaker 2: have you know like oh I wouldn't go with a
Speaker 2: two millimeter five millimeter you know a nice this is
Speaker 2: a camp knife this is a knife that you use
Speaker 2: around the campsite and if you had to you could
Speaker 2: build a shelter with it because it's that sturdy the
Speaker 2: Mora is a is a great brand of knives Swedish
Speaker 2: you know that fits this bill And then you need
Speaker 2: to have a third knife, a small knife, maybe a
Speaker 2: neck knife. And that is the knife you would skin
Speaker 2: game with and do things like that with. So that
Speaker 2: is the three knife concept. You need to have at
Speaker 2: least three knives, each one to do a different job.
Speaker 2: That is your prepper tip for the day. hello everyone
Speaker 2: out there in internet radio land dave jones the nbc
Speaker 2: guy and i'm keeping with the medical theme right now
Speaker 2: super glue super glue 1001 uses no wait that's duct
Speaker 2: tape but uh super glue um so the matter of
Speaker 2: facts guys at prepper camp super glue i cut myself
Speaker 2: terribly and it was a great slice, a clean cut,
Speaker 2: my thumb, all the way down to the tendon, and
Speaker 2: they super glued it together. You can do this with wounds.
Speaker 2: Clean cut, sliced wounds. You can super glue them together.
Speaker 2: And it's as good as stitches, maybe better. I don't
Speaker 2: even think I have a scar. I mean, that's how
Speaker 2: good these guys did it. So, You need to have
Speaker 2: little single serving super glues. You can get them at
Speaker 2: the dollar store. You get like five of them for
Speaker 2: a dollar. That's 20 cents. You can't even buy sutures
Speaker 2: for that. But remember, they're only good for clean slices.
Speaker 2: If you have a rip or a tear... it's not
Speaker 2: going to work very good so that is your tip
Speaker 2: for the day super glue and your medical kit i'm
Speaker 2: coming to you with the prepper tip of the day
Speaker 2: and it is emergency fund What do you have in
Speaker 2: your emergency fund? How much cash do you have on
Speaker 2: hand right now? Right now. And, you know, coming up
Speaker 2: with the anniversary of 9-11, when everything was shut down,
Speaker 2: Wall Street closed, the stock market dropped 1,000 points, and
Speaker 2: back then 1,000 points was a lot. ATMs, you know,
Speaker 2: How much cash do you have on hand right now? Now,
Speaker 2: you know, Dave Ramsey, I'm a big fan of Dave Ramsey.
Speaker 2: He says $ 1, 000. But, you know, with inflation eating on
Speaker 2: our dollar every day, $ 1, 000 isn't much. Isn't much. You
Speaker 2: need to have cash on hand. And in your wallet,
Speaker 2: in the back corner of your wallet, I put between
Speaker 2: $ 200 and $ 300.
Speaker 1: In 50s and 100s.
Speaker 2: And it's because you pull out a 50 and flash
Speaker 2: it in front of someone, they're going to do what
Speaker 2: you want them to do. Okay? Okay? $ 20 bills ain't
Speaker 2: what $ 20 bills used to be. So you got to
Speaker 2: adjust your emergency fund. What if tomorrow the ATMs just stop?
Speaker 2: How much cash do you want to have on hand
Speaker 2: when they're only accepting cash? Okay, that's your emergency fund.
Speaker 2: And that is your prepper tip for the day. We
Speaker 2: talked about emergency fund. Okay, now we're going to talk
Speaker 2: about bartering stuff. What do you have to trade? And
Speaker 2: here's the tip. You need to have something to trade
Speaker 2: that you make more of.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's not something you stockpile. Do you understand? It's something
Speaker 2: that you create that is rare and You know, we
Speaker 2: have salt. We have hundreds of pounds of salt. But
Speaker 2: we're not trading it. We're keeping it for ourselves. Think
Speaker 2: about all the things that are barterable in SHTF. You
Speaker 2: can't make more silver. You can't make more salt unless
Speaker 2: you're sitting on top of a natural salt deposit. you know,
Speaker 2: like a dry lake bed or something like that. So
Speaker 2: it has to be something that you create, you know,
Speaker 2: whether it's food, if you can create more food to trade,
Speaker 2: whether it's livestock or skills. You can barter skills. If
Speaker 2: it's manual labor, you can split wood. If it's blacksmithing,
Speaker 2: if you can fabricate from metal, that's a skill that
Speaker 2: you can barter. Some people store alcohol. Here at the
Speaker 2: Jones Homestead, we don't because we know how to make
Speaker 2: more whiskey. We can make practically unlimited supplies of whiskey.
Speaker 2: So we have stuff that we can trade here. And
Speaker 2: you need to think about what it is that you
Speaker 2: will be able to trade. And it can be labor.
Speaker 2: If you've got a strong back, everybody needs wood split.
Speaker 2: So there you go. Think about trading, PBN family. And
Speaker 2: that is your prepper tip of the day. Hello everyone
Speaker 2: out there in the internet radio land. This is Dave Jones,
Speaker 2: the NVC guy, and I'm too much energy drink. I
Speaker 2: am over-caffeinated and under-medicated. So this prepper tip is have
Speaker 2: a tent. Have a tent. A tent gives you added
Speaker 2: capabilities and versatility. And not just to go pitch a
Speaker 2: tent somewhere outside. But to put it up inside your house,
Speaker 2: if the power goes off and you need to heat
Speaker 2: a room, put the tent inside the room and only
Speaker 2: heat the tent. So many people died when the power
Speaker 2: went off in Texas. And if they just had a
Speaker 2: tent and figured out, hey, I only have to heat
Speaker 2: the tent and I can do that with a candle. Okay?
Speaker 2: So have a tent on hand. It gives you capabilities
Speaker 2: like if someone happens to show up at your house
Speaker 2: and says, hey, I need to stay with you, give
Speaker 2: them the tent and put them in the yard. You
Speaker 2: don't have to put them in your house. Or if
Speaker 2: you have overflow, a tent is just a an all-around
Speaker 2: great answer for just a bunch of different things. So
Speaker 2: use your imagination. Have a tent. That's your Prepper Tip
Speaker 2: for the day. Hello, everyone out there in Internet Radio Land.
Speaker 2: This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy. My Prepper Tip
Speaker 2: for the day is oil. oil, cooking oil. You have
Speaker 2: to know how to render fat to make lard or oil.
Speaker 2: You have to know that as a prepper and you
Speaker 2: have to have a stockpile of oil. Now, even if
Speaker 2: your oil goes bad, goes rancid, don't throw it away.
Speaker 2: It can still be used for a lamp, make an
Speaker 2: oil lamp out of it. Um, you know, with a
Speaker 2: regular old cotton wick. Or you can use it to
Speaker 2: lubricate things, hinges, anything, anything with metal that needs lubrication.
Speaker 2: Ransom oil will work. So have a stockpile of oil.
Speaker 2: Don't worry if it goes bad because you can always
Speaker 2: use it for something else other than its intended cooking.
Speaker 2: And remember that ghee and lard... things like that last
Speaker 2: the longest know how to render oil and that's the
Speaker 2: prepper tip for the day hello everyone out there in
Speaker 2: internet radio land this is dave jones the nbc guy
Speaker 2: have i got a tip for you today and it's
Speaker 2: about communications okay not not a bow fang not not
Speaker 2: a ham radio not a gmrs not a CB. Communications
Speaker 2: within your family. Set up a code word with your
Speaker 2: family if you are ever under duress. And it should
Speaker 2: be a word that you can work into a conversation
Speaker 2: super easy. something about the weather, the house, duties of
Speaker 2: a job, something that if someone's pointing a gun to
Speaker 2: your head, you can speak about without alerting them to saying, oh,
Speaker 2: that's a code. And that lets everybody know that You're
Speaker 2: in a bad situation. You're compromised. You have a problem.
Speaker 2: And the problem, I can't tell you what it is,
Speaker 2: but I have a problem. So, think about what that
Speaker 2: would be. And then, communicate it to everybody in the family.
Speaker 2: Everybody in your family. And it has to be the same.
Speaker 2: The same thing. or phrase you don't have a different
Speaker 2: word for different people it's the same thing and if
Speaker 2: you can work it into a conversation you know it
Speaker 2: could be pizza it could be you know something that
Speaker 2: you can work into a conversation very easy the sun
Speaker 2: we had great weather yesterday And then you can explain
Speaker 2: that away as, if all I said was yes and no,
Speaker 2: they would catch on. I had to talk about something.
Speaker 2: I chose the weather. Anyway, that is my prepper tip
Speaker 2: for the day. Duress! This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy,
Speaker 2: with your prepper tip of the day. You hear that
Speaker 2: squeaky chair? I am in the office, hiding from the warden. Hey,
Speaker 2: here's your tip. I get asked this question somewhat regularly.
Speaker 2: It'll go something like this. If I only have $ 50
Speaker 2: or $ 100, what would you spend it on? And there's
Speaker 2: one thing that I always tell people. Spend it on education. Education.
Speaker 2: something new, learn something new, a blacksmithing course, a welding course,
Speaker 2: you know, learn how to make wine or beer or
Speaker 2: bread or your knowledge, your brain. They can't take that
Speaker 2: away from you. If you lost every piece of gear
Speaker 2: you had, but you still know how to fabricate metal,
Speaker 2: you are of value. So, if you only have a
Speaker 2: limited amount of funds to spend, always get new knowledge,
Speaker 2: new education. Find out something you didn't know yesterday. When
Speaker 2: I say establish a position and improve upon it daily,
Speaker 2: there's no better way to spend your prepper dollars than
Speaker 2: learning something new. And that is my prepper tip for
Speaker 2: the day. Take care and prep on. You got to
Speaker 2: do a walkthrough. You've got to walk through your property.
Speaker 2: You've got to walk the perimeter. You've got to figure
Speaker 2: out how you're going to secure your property. And the
Speaker 2: only way to do that is do a walkthrough. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you could do a Google map recon, something like that.
Speaker 2: But until you walk the land, you're not going to know.
Speaker 2: Where to put certain things, you know, like a trip wire,
Speaker 2: an alarm, a camera, a light. You have to walk
Speaker 2: your property and walk the perimeter. Remember when I said
Speaker 2: about the concentric circles?
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: Well, that's one of your circles, is your outer perimeter
Speaker 2: of your property. You have to walk it. That is
Speaker 2: my prepper tip for the day. Listen, today's tip is
Speaker 2: on water. Water. So, you need to secure your water.
Speaker 2: You need to be able to collect it, treat it,
Speaker 2: filter it, distill it You need to have at least
Speaker 2: two sources of water, primary and alternate. My contingency is
Speaker 2: my rain barrels, and my emergency water is the water
Speaker 2: that I have in storage. So that's what we have
Speaker 2: here at the Jones Homestead. You can easily do a
Speaker 2: rain catchment with food-grade 55-gallon drums, and then you put
Speaker 2: a spout collection... on it. You know, they're like 18
Speaker 2: bucks at Home Depot. It's a thing that you put
Speaker 2: in your rain spout and it goes in and then
Speaker 2: they also have a valve with a hose connection that
Speaker 2: you can put in the bottom of the barrel. So,
Speaker 2: you need to have a way to have water because
Speaker 2: you can't make water. You have to have it to
Speaker 2: be able to filter it and treat it or distill it.
Speaker 2: Do you have a distiller? They're pretty inexpensive. Around $ 100
Speaker 2: you can get a small one. That way if you
Speaker 2: get any kind of water, you can distill it and
Speaker 2: make it pure. So you need to secure your water system.
Speaker 2: That is my prepper tip of the day. Primary Alternate
Speaker 2: Contingency Emergency. Take care and prep on. Hello everyone out
Speaker 2: there in internet radio land. This is Dave Jones, the
Speaker 2: NBC guy with your prepper tip of the day. Now look,
Speaker 2: everybody knows they need to start their off-grid medical kit, right?
Speaker 2: Everybody goes for that antibiotics and stuff like that first.
Speaker 2: But how about if you go with all the over-the-counter stuff, right?
Speaker 2: The things that you can buy right now without a
Speaker 2: prescription that'll just make your life easier and better and
Speaker 2: less painful in the SHTF. Now, I highly recommend Dr.
Speaker 2: Forgey's list in his handbook to the Prepper Medical Handbook,
Speaker 2: which we advertise all the time. But all of this
Speaker 2: is not the tip. The tip is the dollar store.
Speaker 2: you can get a lot of good over-the-counter medical preps
Speaker 2: at the dollar store, and you can stock up now.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mentioned super glue. That's where I got mine.
Speaker 2: You get a five-pack of one-use super glue for a dollar,
Speaker 2: and they not only seal up deep cuts that are sliced, okay?
Speaker 2: You can use super glue for all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2: So the tip is the dollar store medical supplies. Get
Speaker 2: you some, build you a cash, and it doesn't have
Speaker 2: to be expensive. Take care and prep on. Sleep.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sleep is vitally important. It's the single best thing you
Speaker 2: can do to boost your immune system is sleep. And
Speaker 2: in an SHTF situation, you'll be under more stress than
Speaker 2: you can imagine. That's the reason I chuckle, okay? When
Speaker 2: I was in the military... I did not get a
Speaker 2: lot of sleep. And the thing about sleep is, if
Speaker 2: you lose 24 hours of sleep, 50% of your mental
Speaker 2: faculties are impaired. So if you're the person that's making
Speaker 2: key decisions for your operation, do you want that person
Speaker 2: to be without 50% of their mental capacity?
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: 50% of mine is, you know, 10 of most people
Speaker 2: so you want them to have sleep now you can
Speaker 2: break it up into two four hour increments it's not
Speaker 2: as good but it's still quality sleep and and that's
Speaker 2: another thing quantity versus quality Uh, you need to be
Speaker 2: safe and secure in your sleep. If you're trying to
Speaker 2: do guard watch and take a quick nap or something
Speaker 2: like that, that's not going to work. Uh, On the
Speaker 2: other hand, if you lose 24 hours of sleep, if
Speaker 2: you go without sleep for 24 hours, you only lose
Speaker 2: 10% of your physical capabilities. So you can do physical
Speaker 2: work longer than you can do mental work. So that
Speaker 2: should be factored into your prepper plan. Sleep, vitally important
Speaker 2: for every member of your crew and super important for
Speaker 2: the person making life and death situation decisions. That's my
Speaker 2: prepper tip for the day. Sleep, very important. Take care
Speaker 2: and prep on. Hello everyone out there in internet radio land.
Speaker 2: This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy, with your prepper
Speaker 2: tip of the day. I'm in the office. You hear
Speaker 2: the squeaky chair? Look, you got to dry fire your weapons. What?
Speaker 2: Everybody tells me not to dry fire. Look, they are
Speaker 2: mechanically designed to do 50 to 100,000 times firing. Okay? So,
Speaker 2: dry firing them is not going to wear out that mechanism.
Speaker 2: Trust me, if you're not going out every weekend and
Speaker 2: putting 200 or 300 rounds through that weapon, it is
Speaker 2: not going to hurt.
Speaker 1: It at all.
Speaker 2: The utility... that you are going to get from carrying it,
Speaker 2: drawing it, aiming, firing, is way, way more important than
Speaker 2: trying to save that mechanism from being dry-fired. Okay? And
Speaker 2: you could put a dime on the end of your barrel,
Speaker 2: and keep your sight picture, and draw, I mean... slowly
Speaker 2: trigger control is what you want a monkey can align
Speaker 2: the sights trigger control is what you want you want
Speaker 2: to be able to squeeze that trigger think about it
Speaker 2: it's the only moving part of the weapon that trigger
Speaker 2: because once it goes through its mechanism that bullet is
Speaker 2: launched and gone You can't affect it anymore. So you
Speaker 2: have to get trigger control down. Whatever it is to
Speaker 2: pull that trigger. And if you put a dime on
Speaker 2: the end of your barrel and it doesn't fall off,
Speaker 2: you're squeezing it, squeezing it. It was an exercise that
Speaker 2: we used to do with a revolver. And we would
Speaker 2: do it in double action. which means you pulled, the
Speaker 2: cylinder rotated, and the hammer fell, and the dime never
Speaker 2: fell off the end of the barrel. So, dry fire away,
Speaker 2: PBN family. Dry fire away. Get used to carrying your weapon,
Speaker 2: however you're going to carry it. Get used to the
Speaker 2: mechanism of it. The reason the Israelis... Defense force is
Speaker 2: so good and they send the weapons home with the people.
Speaker 2: You have to have the utility of carrying it, holding it,
Speaker 2: firing it. You have to know what works and what
Speaker 2: don't work. So that's my prepper tip for the day.
Speaker 2: Do not fear the dry fire. Hello everyone out there
Speaker 2: in internet radio land. This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy.
Speaker 2: Giving you another prepper tip of the day. And this
Speaker 2: is isolation. Isolation is your best friend in a pandemic.
Speaker 2: A biological agent. A germ. A germ. You need to
Speaker 2: be able to isolate yourself from the outside world. But
Speaker 2: more importantly... You need to be able to protect anybody
Speaker 2: that gets sick. If you have a master bedroom, you
Speaker 2: have an isolation quarters. the same person takes care of
Speaker 2: them every day at the same time. You take them food,
Speaker 2: whatever they need, and they are isolated from the rest
Speaker 2: of the house, the rest of the family. And that person,
Speaker 2: only one person takes care of them because if they
Speaker 2: come down with the sickness, then they become isolated. But
Speaker 2: you need to know that isolation is your best friend.
Speaker 2: If there is isolation, when there is the next pandemic
Speaker 2: if you stay away from everybody that is your best
Speaker 2: defense your second best defense is cleaning yourself cleaning your
Speaker 2: hands destroying germs okay alcohol 70 percent or more uh
Speaker 2: hydrogen peroxide greater than seven percent um Clorox, chlorine, totally
Speaker 2: neutralizes any kind of germ agent. So that is my
Speaker 2: prepper tip for the day. Isolation. Think about it. Take
Speaker 2: care and prep on. And I don't know why I
Speaker 2: came up with this tip. I woke up this morning
Speaker 2: and this is stuck in my brain pan. So I
Speaker 2: just thought I'd get it out there. And that is
Speaker 2: performance-oriented training, or the acronym we used in the Army, POT.
Speaker 2: They say, what are we going to do today? Oh,
Speaker 2: we're going to do some POT. You know, and it
Speaker 2: was a big joke. But performance-oriented training is, and you
Speaker 2: may have already participated in something like this, very small,
Speaker 2: hands-on tasks. that you can do, and it's designed to
Speaker 2: get you tuned up, get you ready, get you thinking,
Speaker 2: like loading and clearing a weapon. Very small tasks like that.
Speaker 2: Of course, use dummy rounds. Do not use live rounds.
Speaker 2: There's an accidental discharge that could occur, so use dummy rounds.
Speaker 2: Applying a bandage, applying a tourniquet, and then you would
Speaker 2: do this in like what we called a round-robin type affair,
Speaker 2: where you go to a different station, there'd be a table,
Speaker 2: and boom, you perform the task. And it was a
Speaker 2: pass-fail kind of thing. So you either did it right
Speaker 2: and got a pass, go, no-go, or you got a no-go,
Speaker 2: which means you need more hands-on training with that particular skill.
Speaker 2: So it's designed to get a lot of.
Speaker 2: Opportunities in in a short period of time. And you'd
Speaker 2: get like maybe two minutes, three minutes at a table.
Speaker 2: The instructor would tell you what the task was and boom,
Speaker 2: you'd do it. And then they'd blow a whistle and
Speaker 2: you'd rotate.
Speaker 1: To the next one.
Speaker 5: So I don't know why that is stuck, but if
Speaker 5: you can use that in any way, Think about small
Speaker 5: individual tasks, hands-on, that.
Speaker 2: You can perform in front of someone evaluating you and
Speaker 2: have a bunch of them. Do this, now do this,
Speaker 2: now do this, now do this. That's POT, Performance Oriented Training,
Speaker 2: and that's your prepper tip for the day. And this
Speaker 2: tip is going to be kind of out of the ordinary,
Speaker 2: but it is a good prepper tip just the same.
Speaker 2: Do you have something to keep young minds occupied? Do
Speaker 2: you have something that does not require electricity to keep
Speaker 2: people busy, busy, busy, busy? Do you have board games
Speaker 2: on hand? Listen, if you have to shelter in place
Speaker 2: or spend a long period of time in the house
Speaker 2: and there is no electricity, how are you going to
Speaker 2: keep those young minds occupied? while you're taking care of
Speaker 2: business board games go around yard sales things like that
Speaker 2: make sure you check all the pieces sometimes on clearance
Speaker 2: at walmart but you need to have on hand some
Speaker 2: board games Clue. Risk. Monopoly. Games that young people can
Speaker 2: play and not think about what you're doing, and they
Speaker 2: can play all by themselves. Set them up. Get them started.
Speaker 2: It's like a snowball rolling down the hill. Look, we
Speaker 2: started this a long time ago. And for a while,
Speaker 2: the kids looked forward to the power going off because
Speaker 2: they knew that's when we were going to break the
Speaker 2: board games out and play. Now they're a little older and, well,
Speaker 2: but family time. Maybe even make a game night. Do
Speaker 2: a game night to get them used to it. Train
Speaker 2: them so that they know what Monopoly is and how
Speaker 2: to play it. or Risk, or any one of the
Speaker 2: games that take a while. Even Sorry. You know, Sorry,
Speaker 2: where you try, it's kind of like a short version
Speaker 2: of Chinese Checkers. You should have them on hand. Take
Speaker 2: them out every once in a while. Have a game
Speaker 2: night with the family. And prep on.
Speaker 4: PPN Family, it's time.
Speaker 1: For the prepper tip of the day.
Speaker 6: Hello PBNers and our fellow listeners. This is Jay Ferg
Speaker 6: with Phoenix Survival and your prepper tip of the day.
Speaker 6: Do you ever not know what to do with that
Speaker 6: lint that's building up from your dryer? And instead of
Speaker 6: just throwing it away, did you know you can actually
Speaker 6: use it to make an amazing fire starter? Same goes
Speaker 6: with the shredded paper you have in that shredder. All
Speaker 6: of that is a reusable source that you can use
Speaker 6: to easily start a fire and keep it in your
Speaker 6: bag as a bomb starter or a fire starter, as
Speaker 6: we like to call it. This is a huge shout
Speaker 6: out and thank you to Melinda Lee because she actually
Speaker 6: taught me how to make these several years ago. So
Speaker 6: I'd like to pass this tip on to you. Now,
Speaker 6: what do you do? You can use something as simple
Speaker 6: as old broken crayons for you parents out there, old candles.
Speaker 6: or wax from like the, the wax burners with the
Speaker 6: excess that you don't know what to do with, that
Speaker 6: you pour back into the base. You can melt that down.
Speaker 6: You can pour it on that paper or on a
Speaker 6: cotton ball or that dryer lint and make them into
Speaker 6: a wax soaked, soaked fire starter. And it makes it
Speaker 6: so much easier. Now, the way Melinda Lee taught me
Speaker 6: was with taking old crayons, um, shredded paper and the
Speaker 6: little ketchup cups or condiment cups that you can get
Speaker 6: from mcdonald's so think about that and give it a
Speaker 6: try tell me what you think and for our listeners
Speaker 6: there is going to be a members only tutorial so
Speaker 6: i will show you exactly how to make these thank
Speaker 6: you folks and have a good day.
Speaker 2: Hello everyone out there in internet radio land this is
Speaker 2: dave jones the nbc guy boy i have a really
Speaker 2: fm voice going on here i don't know what's going
Speaker 2: on this morning It's very early. I'm up at the
Speaker 2: Jones Homestead very, very early. Some reason I woke up
Speaker 2: an hour and a half early. Could not sleep, so
Speaker 2: I'm getting ready to go to school. And I thought
Speaker 2: I'd do a proper tip of the day. The other
Speaker 2: day I did how to detect fallout without a radiac meter.
Speaker 2: There is also plans online that you can build like
Speaker 2: a dosimeter. out of a mason jar. It's from back
Speaker 2: in the 1950s, but it still works. Physics hasn't changed,
Speaker 2: so if you want to Google that, you can Google that.
Speaker 2: And it detects ionizing radiation, which is exactly what a
Speaker 2: dosimeter detects. So you can detect... I don't think you'll
Speaker 2: be able to detect how much radiation, but you'll be
Speaker 2: able to detect if you're getting radiation. So that's not
Speaker 2: the tip, though. I get off on too many tips here.
Speaker 2: You're getting extra tips today. The tip today is what
Speaker 2: to put in your Faraday cage. Okay? In my presentations,
Speaker 2: I tell you how to build a Faraday cage out
Speaker 2: of a garbage can, a galvanized steel garbage can. So
Speaker 2: a Faraday cage has to be a conductive material and inside,
Speaker 2: insulating material. Okay, so a galvanized steel can with foam
Speaker 2: rubber on the inside. Okay, and then sealed up with
Speaker 2: metal duct tape. You know, the metal duct tape, three
Speaker 2: or four inches, so you get a good overlap over
Speaker 2: the seals inside and out. And the tip, well, here's
Speaker 2: the tip. How do you test your Faraday cage? How
Speaker 2: do you test it? How do you know if it's
Speaker 2: going to work? Take an AM radio. Tune it to
Speaker 2: a talk radio station. Put it in the can. Seal
Speaker 2: it up like you would if all your stuff was
Speaker 2: in there. And if it goes to static, you know
Speaker 2: that it's not picking up a signal. Now that is
Speaker 2: a rough way to test your Faraday cage without getting
Speaker 2: thousands of dollars worth of equipment, but it will work.
Speaker 2: So there you go. I mean, know that a radio
Speaker 2: is designed to pick up a specific frequency, and they're
Speaker 2: broadcasting constant and steady at a certain wattage in your area.
Speaker 2: So it will protect against an EMP, So that's how
Speaker 2: you know if you've got a good Faraday cage. There's
Speaker 2: no holes. And that's my tip. That's my tip. I'll
Speaker 2: do another tip on what to put in because this
Speaker 2: tip is getting too long. It's three and a half
Speaker 2: minutes already. I like to try and keep them around
Speaker 2: two minutes. But that is the tip on how to
Speaker 2: test your Faraday cage. Take care and prep on. Have
Speaker 2: I got a tip for you. How about a BB gun? Yeah,
Speaker 2: a BB gun. See, I'm in the office squeaky chair.
Speaker 2: If you have a chance to get one of those
Speaker 2: pump action air rifles, okay, that shoots BBs or pellets.
Speaker 2: you should try and get one inexpensively. You can get
Speaker 2: them at yard sales and stuff like that, $ 10, but
Speaker 2: you've got to pump them up and see that they work.
Speaker 2: These things are powerful enough to kill small game. Very quiet, okay?
Speaker 2: Won't use up your ammo. You can get tons of
Speaker 2: BBs for pennies, and you can reuse them if you
Speaker 2: find them. So, why not? Why not? And, yeah, and
Speaker 2: it's a good thing to practice with. You know, side alignment,
Speaker 2: trigger control, not so much trajectory. So, PBN family, have
Speaker 2: a BB gun or two. They come in handy, and
Speaker 2: you never know when you might need one. So, take care.
Speaker 2: Prep on. PBN family, if you ever wondered how you
Speaker 2: can easily develop an emergency plan, all you have to
Speaker 2: do is ask yourself the question, what if?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: And keep asking yourself that question until you've come up
Speaker 2: with a solution, you know, three or four times in
Speaker 2: the making. So what if we lose power? And I
Speaker 2: have no heat. Well, then I'll start heating with the
Speaker 2: wood stove. What if it snows 10 feet and I
Speaker 2: can't get to the wood? Well, then I'll go to
Speaker 2: the propane heater that I have. And what if I
Speaker 2: run out of propane? Well, then I have a small
Speaker 2: butane heater. supply and heater and I'll use that and
Speaker 2: what if do you see what I mean asking yourself
Speaker 2: the simple question what if what if I lose this
Speaker 2: knife or break it or you know whatever then you
Speaker 2: automatically start looking for your contingency and then develop that
Speaker 2: So the question of what if, what if, no matter
Speaker 2: what the situation is, what if the enemy comes up
Speaker 2: this way? If they come this way, what obstacles am
Speaker 2: I going to face? to put in the way to
Speaker 2: a slow them down be put them on their feet
Speaker 2: so they're not driving up and getting in my perimeter
Speaker 2: do you see what I mean by what if What
Speaker 2: if they're, you know, and you can answer your own questions.
Speaker 2: What if a hundred armed people show up at my house? Well,
Speaker 2: I'm hauling butt. I am getting out. I am only
Speaker 2: shooting if it's to try and escape quickly. I'm going
Speaker 2: to try and stealthily exfiltrate myself. from the situation. I
Speaker 2: am going to get out of Dodge. So what if?
Speaker 2: That's what you got to keep asking yourself. What if?
Speaker 2: And that is my prepper tip for the day. What if?
Speaker 2: Take care and prep on. hello everyone out there in
Speaker 2: internet radio land this is dave jones the nbc guy
Speaker 2: with your final prepper tip of the month preparedness month
Speaker 2: in september this is the the last one well i
Speaker 2: don't think it'll be the last one ever but It
Speaker 2: is the last one that I'm going to do for
Speaker 2: the month of September. You got more than 30 tips
Speaker 2: because one Friday night I forgot to forward post them.
Speaker 2: And you got like four or five tips in a
Speaker 2: row there. So PBN family, this is my final tip.
Speaker 2: And here it is. Secure your people now. Secure your
Speaker 2: people now. Figure out who you can count on, who
Speaker 2: you can't count on, and start introducing yourself and letting
Speaker 2: them know who you are and what you do and
Speaker 2: do it now. Because... Listen to my Freak Out Friday
Speaker 2: daily audio cache if you want to know why. But,
Speaker 2: you know, open to conversation, maybe like Marie and I did.
Speaker 2: We baked bread and we took it to the neighbors
Speaker 2: and we introduced ourselves. And everybody on the mountain here
Speaker 2: knows we're preppers, knows what our political leanings are. And
Speaker 2: half the people are for Trump. And half the people
Speaker 2: are not for Trump. And I don't know if that
Speaker 2: even changed. I don't know. Because, geez, it was COVID.
Speaker 2: COVID didn't put us away from each other. It just
Speaker 2: changed things. And we had a big party up on
Speaker 2: top of the mountain at the old man's place. That
Speaker 2: was the 4th of July celebration during COVID when they
Speaker 2: said don't get together report on your neighbors so what
Speaker 2: did the Jones family do we put up three canopies
Speaker 2: and cooked oh my gosh gyros shawarmas we did we
Speaker 2: put on like a catering for the neighborhood and we
Speaker 2: just said come listen to music have a good time
Speaker 2: enjoy the view, and then we set off fireworks. So
Speaker 2: you got to do that kind of stuff, PBN family.
Speaker 2: You got to get out of your comfort zone. You
Speaker 2: got to figure out right now who's in your block,
Speaker 2: who's in your cul-de-sac, who's on your mountain that you
Speaker 2: can count on, and you got to let them in.
Speaker 2: You got to say, hey, this is my plan. And
Speaker 2: I had a neighbor say, well, I'm not getting a generator.
Speaker 2: I'm just going to come over to your house. And
Speaker 2: the look I gave him, I think he realized that
Speaker 2: was the wrong answer. And about two months later, he
Speaker 2: got his own generator. Just saying. Just saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: You got to put yourself out there. You're going to
Speaker 2: be the leader whether you want to or not. So
Speaker 2: why not make the contacts now before you have the
Speaker 2: stress of SHTF on you and you're trying to make
Speaker 2: those contacts with that in the background. That is my
Speaker 2: prepper tip of the day and you take care. And always, always,
Speaker 2: always prep.
Speaker 1: On.
Speaker 7: Our bodies aren't weak, PBN family. It's our minds. Our
Speaker 7: bodies aren't weak. It's our minds. The body adapts. To
Speaker 7: whatever you put in front of it.
Speaker 7: You have to understand that... What I have to understand
Speaker 7: about you.
Speaker 1: Is that....
Speaker 7: Whatever fitness... You inherit... Whatever inspiration you find... Whatever gets
Speaker 7: the blood pumping... The body moving... Is yours... And it's
Speaker 7: your fitness... Now I can do our prep or fit
Speaker 7: and health... And I can introduce you to my version
Speaker 7: of fitness... But what I really want you to guard
Speaker 7: against is your mind... Is your mind telling you you can't...
Speaker 7: Your mind telling you you're weak... Your mind telling you
Speaker 7: it's impossible... Because what I've come to realize over all
Speaker 7: these years... And you gotta remember I came from nothing
Speaker 7: in terms of physicality... When I started running the track...
Speaker 7: At 17 years old or whatever it was. 18. I
Speaker 7: was coming from zero fitness. I mean zero. Failing gym fitness.
Speaker 7: You know what I mean? Purposeful laziness. And my body learned.
Speaker 7: And then it learned. And then it learned. And it
Speaker 7: got injured. And it learned. And it adapted. And it changed.
Speaker 7: And the whole time this was happening. My weak mind
Speaker 7: was always telling me to stop and always telling me
Speaker 7: to stop to this day. You know what I mean?
Speaker 7: My body recovered from illness, pretty bad illness for me.
Speaker 7: I'm still coughing, still hocking up nonsense, right? Still hocking
Speaker 7: up spiked protein, still hocking up mRNA. And, you know,
Speaker 7: I'm in this situation, man, where like, It's just ever
Speaker 7: clear now that the mind is the key.
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 7: You have to defeat the mind. The mind will tell
Speaker 7: you the body isn't good enough. The body can't get
Speaker 7: it done. The body's too old.
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 7: I'm going to leave you with this. Because it's not
Speaker 7: your body that's weak. It's your mind. And you have
Speaker 7: to conquer the mind and the body will adapt. And also,
Speaker 7: if the body has adapted to your homesteading routine, to
Speaker 7: your Whatever your walks at night. Whatever your fitness is. Listen.
Speaker 7: I listen to Marvel comics when I work out. I
Speaker 7: listen to Warhammer stories when I work out. Right? There
Speaker 7: is no shame in inspiration. There is no shame in
Speaker 7: where you draw your fitness from. Understand that. You know
Speaker 7: what I mean? It doesn't have to be throwing kettlebells around.
Speaker 7: It doesn't have to be hitting a heavy bag. These
Speaker 7: are just things I like to do because I'm playing pretend.
Speaker 7: Don't you get it? My buddy told me years ago,
Speaker 7: he said, when you bench press, you think you're Goku
Speaker 7: pushing away an energy ball. And I laughed about it.
Speaker 7: But he knew he was right and I knew he
Speaker 7: was right. So there's no shame in it, dude. You
Speaker 7: know what I mean?
Speaker 1: But....
Speaker 7: My girl Lola, my oldest girl, my oldest dog, she's
Speaker 7: 15 years old. She threw her hip out the other night.
Speaker 7: We thought it was over. We thought it was over.
Speaker 7: We said, well, she can't walk. She's 15. And you
Speaker 7: know what? The more she walks, the better she's walking.
Speaker 7: You know why? Because her brain is super tough. Her
Speaker 7: brain doesn't have all this human in it telling her
Speaker 7: she can't. She just wants to go, and she goes.
Speaker 7: And every day now, she's getting stronger again. She's figuring
Speaker 7: out how to deal with this body that she has,
Speaker 7: and she's back walking again. And I'm telling you, PBN family,
Speaker 7: the mind is weak, not the body. I'll talk to
Speaker 7: you soon.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Okay, PBN family, this is a tip, a tip, a
Speaker 2: prepper tip of the day. I don't have the tip music, but,
Speaker 2: you know, a tip's a tip. So I got this
Speaker 2: from listening to James last night, and he had a
Speaker 2: shooter on, a competitive shooter. This is an easy way
Speaker 2: to determine if you're proficient, okay? No bullets required. If
Speaker 2: you are looking at your weapon to load, unload, change magazines, draw,
Speaker 2: do anything, you are not proficient. You have to be
Speaker 2: able to do things without looking, with your eyes closed
Speaker 2: in the complete darkness. This comes from a background of
Speaker 2: police training when I was a state trooper. We did it.
Speaker 2: So you didn't do anything with your dominant hand, with
Speaker 2: your drawing hand. Okay? This is the next level up.
Speaker 2: If you can do everything you do without looking, without
Speaker 2: looking at it or looking down, if you look down,
Speaker 2: you're dead. Even if you can't return fire, you can
Speaker 2: react to whatever that bad guy's doing if you're looking
Speaker 2: at him. If you're not looking at him... He can
Speaker 2: do whatever he wants and you won't see it coming.
Speaker 2: So you have to do it without looking. Next, you
Speaker 2: have to do it one-handed. And next, after that, you
Speaker 2: have to do it with your weak hand. Okay? So
Speaker 2: that is a way that you can determine your level
Speaker 2: of preparedness without even firing a bullet. That is the
Speaker 2: prepper tip of the day. Take care and prep on.
Speaker 1: Pbn family it's time for the prepper tip of the day.
Speaker 7: Pbn family today's prepper tip is brought to you by
Speaker 7: pack fresh usa everything i'm about to talk about you
Speaker 7: can can be had at packfreshusa.com our great sponsor check
Speaker 7: them out we're talking food storage Perhaps my favorite prepping
Speaker 7: topic in all of prepping lore and yore and so on.
Speaker 7: Five gallon buckets, oxygen absorbers, mylar bags. My first go round,
Speaker 7: I did something by mistake that I've done from then on.
Speaker 7: I ordered one gallon mylar bags instead of five gallon
Speaker 7: mylar bags. And I said to myself, oh. I screwed
Speaker 7: up prepping again... Imagine that.
Speaker 7: Imagine that... I made another mistake... Doing this prepping thing.
Speaker 5: And.
Speaker 7: I remember it like yesterday... The buckets were white... The
Speaker 7: pinto beans... The black beans... And the rice... Were what
Speaker 7: I had... Purchased in bulk... From Sam's Club... And I was...
Speaker 7: You know... That's what I was into... That's what I
Speaker 7: was doing.
Speaker 1: And... I.
Speaker 7: Realized that... Storing food in one gallon bag... If you're
Speaker 7: going to actually use the food storage, storing food in
Speaker 7: a one-gallon bag, you can fit about three one-gallon bags
Speaker 7: into a five-gallon bucket. So you might be thinking to yourself, well,
Speaker 7: I'm not getting the efficiency out of the bucket. Hang
Speaker 7: on a minute. I take a rice, I take a
Speaker 7: black bean, I take a pinto bean, I stuff them
Speaker 7: into a bucket. One mylar bag, one gallon of rice,
Speaker 7: one mylar bag of Black beans, one miler bag of
Speaker 7: pinto beans, right? Into the bucket. Now, for stockpiling long-term
Speaker 7: of foods, like a food storage stockpile that you're never
Speaker 7: going to touch, I wouldn't do it this way. But
Speaker 7: that's not how I do business. What I don't have
Speaker 7: to do, because I do it this way, is I
Speaker 7: don't have to get more than one bucket to make
Speaker 7: rice and beans. I don't have to get multitudes of buckets...
Speaker 7: To pool ingredients. Right. I do a. Two flour one
Speaker 7: sugar bucket. The same way.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 7: I do two. One gallon bags of flour. And one
Speaker 7: one gallon bag of sugar. And it gives you the
Speaker 7: ability to. Add variety to the bucket. So when you
Speaker 7: pull the bucket down. When you bring the bucket out.
Speaker 7: You can do more than one thing out of it.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 7: In fact, I've done buckets in the past that have
Speaker 7: been one gallon sugar, one gallon flour, one gallon Bisquick. And,
Speaker 7: you know, you can almost make dinner out of that
Speaker 7: bucket with a few added ingredients. You know what I mean?
Speaker 7: If you know what you're doing. But that's the way
Speaker 7: that I pack five gallon buckets. I have very few.
Speaker 7: I've never made a five gallon bucket with a five
Speaker 7: gallon Mylar bag in it. I've bought things that are
Speaker 7: filled that way. But I don't buy a lot of
Speaker 7: food storage. I make the vast majority of our food storage. So,
Speaker 7: you know, if you want to get into rotating your
Speaker 7: food storage and you're thinking to yourself, what a pain
Speaker 7: it would be if I need flour and sugar and
Speaker 7: macaroni and, you know, whatever else. I got to grab
Speaker 7: four different buckets, pool ingredients out of these four different buckets,
Speaker 7: you know, And that's not the only way to do it.
Speaker 7: You could also take food out of the Mylar bags
Speaker 7: and store them in containers in your pantry and then
Speaker 7: seal the Mylar back up. I'm just telling you my
Speaker 7: quick prepper tip of the day. Try one gallon Mylar bags.
Speaker 7: You can also get them like lots of them for
Speaker 7: cheaper than the five gallon. That's probably why I got them.
Speaker 7: Maybe it wasn't even a mistake. Maybe it was a
Speaker 7: budgetary thing. But anyway, I don't know how much cheaper
Speaker 7: they are now. But every penny counts anymore these days because,
Speaker 7: you know, you can't even eat a Big Mac without
Speaker 7: taking out a loan. But think about it. Give the
Speaker 7: one-gallon Mylar bags a try. Put items in the bucket
Speaker 7: that make sense. Put items in the bucket that make
Speaker 7: a meal. You know, you could, in theory, craft buckets
Speaker 7: that are almost meals. I haven't gone that far, but
Speaker 7: that would be a pretty cool thing to figure. You
Speaker 7: know what I mean? All right. That is the Prepper
Speaker 7: Tip of the Day, folks. Thank you for joining us.
Speaker 4: PBN Family, it's time.
Speaker 1: For the Prepper Tip of the Day.
Speaker 7: PBN Family, today's tip is brought to you by LimaTangoSurvival.com.
Speaker 7: Check them out for the best backpacks, pre-made, pre-built, bug-out bags, go-bags,
Speaker 7: whatever you want to call it bag on the market. limatangosurvival.com.
Speaker 7: Give them a shot. I want to talk off-body CCW
Speaker 7: today because it really is one of the preps that
Speaker 7: I talk about from time to time, but it really
Speaker 7: has made gun ownership and concealed carry fundamentally viable for me.
Speaker 7: I don't know that it would work for me in
Speaker 7: the way that I want it to work if I
Speaker 7: didn't carry off-body sometimes. I don't know how many people
Speaker 7: carry off-body. And what I mean by that is just.
Speaker 7: Not on your... Not on a holster on your body.
Speaker 7: You know, there's crossbody packs. There's backpacks. There's... You know,
Speaker 7: fanny packs. There's... I use sling bags almost exclusively. They're
Speaker 7: my favorite for day-to-day stuff. If I'm... And the sling
Speaker 7: bag for me is... More than just a concealed carry option.
Speaker 1: But.
Speaker 7: It's... It gives you the ability... to... Well, it gives
Speaker 7: you all kinds of abilities. I mean, it gives you
Speaker 7: the ability to not have a gun on your person
Speaker 7: should you need to go to a place where, you know,
Speaker 7: you can't go with a gun. For me, that's school
Speaker 7: almost every day. Right? Now, truth be told, I could
Speaker 7: wander onto the schoolyard with the gun on my hip.
Speaker 7: No one would be... None the wiser, right? Alarm's not
Speaker 7: going to go off. Nobody's going to get hurt. It's
Speaker 7: a non-issue, right? But, you know... to follow the rules
Speaker 7: to do the right thing to show your kids that
Speaker 7: you're doing the right thing and that kind of stuff
Speaker 7: having a concealed carry weapon carried off body is uh
Speaker 7: it's an easy way to sort of shift in and
Speaker 7: out of those kind of scenarios right maybe you go
Speaker 7: to a workplace maybe you go to this that the
Speaker 7: other thing whatever it is um and you don't want
Speaker 7: to have the gun on your purse the reason that
Speaker 7: i think off body concealed carry is such a big
Speaker 7: difference maker Is because we err on the side of
Speaker 7: comfort and convenience. That's what the human animal does. And
Speaker 7: I feel like people leave a gun. I feel like
Speaker 7: people say, I'll carry the gun after work. I'll carry
Speaker 7: the gun once I get home and get all this done.
Speaker 7: I'll carry, you know what I mean? Off-body concealed carry
Speaker 7: is also great when you are not wearing as many clothes.
Speaker 7: So if you're doing a thing like one of the
Speaker 7: most common ways I off-body concealed carry is fishing. Like
Speaker 7: I don't want to walk around. I don't want to
Speaker 7: get my gun wet. Sometimes I'm waist deep in water fishing.
Speaker 7: You know, I don't want to have my gun underwater,
Speaker 7: all that kind of stuff. I put it in the
Speaker 7: sling bag. I can take my shirt off if it's
Speaker 7: a hot day. I don't have some gun tucked in
Speaker 7: my waistband. Not that, you know, I'm running into a
Speaker 7: bunch of people, but just the whole the whole thing
Speaker 7: off body. I can leave the bag. If I'm going
Speaker 7: in a real deep hole, I can hold the bag
Speaker 7: up over my head and cross the river. I can,
Speaker 7: you know, all kinds of things. I don't have to
Speaker 7: cross the river with a handgun in my hand.
Speaker 1: You know, I.
Speaker 7: Try getting looks. It's not just about following rules. Sometimes
Speaker 7: it's about practicality. Sometimes it just gives you another option.
Speaker 7: You should have a bag. You should have some way
Speaker 7: of carrying your firearm off body to give you that
Speaker 7: sort of flexibility. Do you know what I mean? Which
Speaker 7: it will. If it turns into you carrying the gun
Speaker 7: more often, then it's a win.
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 7: If it turns into you carrying the weapon more often,
Speaker 7: more regularly, you're more regularly armed and protected, then it's
Speaker 7: a win.
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 7: The only other part of that tip is... You've got
Speaker 7: to find a bag where your gun can fit safely.
Speaker 7: It doesn't have to be a special concealed carry compartment
Speaker 7: designed just for people to be able to carry their
Speaker 7: firearm in just this way, in just this special CCW
Speaker 7: secret hidden pocket. It's not really necessary, but you do
Speaker 7: need something along those lines. I carry mine in the
Speaker 7: back of a fishing bag, in a small pocket in
Speaker 7: a fishing bag right now, in a holster. And it's perfect, right?
Speaker 7: It's perfect. The bag is very easy to get to.
Speaker 7: Or the gun, rather, is very easy to get to.
Speaker 7: The sling bag shifts from the back of my body
Speaker 7: to the front of my body. Boom. Got access just
Speaker 7: a zipper away. And obviously you've got to practice, right?
Speaker 7: You've got to practice taking that gun out from that
Speaker 7: pocket so that you're proficient with it. Get yourself an
Speaker 7: off-body concealed carry option, okay, folks? I think that's important.
Speaker 7: Talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: PBN Family, it's time for the Prepper Tip of the Day.
Speaker 7: PBN Family, today's Prepper Tip is brought to you by
Speaker 7: the Prepper's Medical Handbook. Go to Amazon.com, order the Prepper's
Speaker 7: Medical Handbook, or go to our membership website, pbnfamily.com, and
Speaker 7: click the Build Your Medical Cash in the nav bar.
Speaker 7: Get the Prepper's Medical Handbook there and everything over the
Speaker 7: counter that's in that book. So you have everything you
Speaker 7: need for your medical readiness. Today's Prepper tip is all
Speaker 7: about a real interesting one. Hip waders. Hip waders. Most
Speaker 7: of my life I spent in the fall time in
Speaker 7: hip waders. Sometimes in the springtime when the water was cold.
Speaker 7: Fly fishing. So I always had hip waders, and this
Speaker 7: is the reason I always had hip waders. But what
Speaker 7: I found in emergency preparedness, the year of the flood here, 2025,
Speaker 7: is that hip waders do a hell of a good
Speaker 7: job when you're dealing with issues with high water. You
Speaker 7: know what I mean? The water reaches a point where
Speaker 7: you have to retrieve something. Maybe the water has risen
Speaker 7: to an area that you weren't expecting, and you've got
Speaker 7: to go fix something. You know, we had a fence
Speaker 7: washed out one time from rising water. And flood water
Speaker 7: is gross. Flood water is nasty. Flood water does all
Speaker 7: kinds of things. You know, it really does. One time
Speaker 7: I had to run into the flood water the same
Speaker 7: year that the fence broke. Really the worst flood we've
Speaker 7: ever had. And I had to run into the flood
Speaker 7: water because my dog was swimming out of the yard.
Speaker 7: So I went out there. I ran into... One of
Speaker 7: those floating... Groups of ants. Like one of them floating like...
Speaker 7: I don't know if you know when an ant's nest...
Speaker 7: Gets flooded out. They'll like gather together and float together
Speaker 7: to restart. And I got eaten alive by these ants.
Speaker 7: It was terrible.
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 7: Hip waders... Gives you the ability... To go... Trudge through
Speaker 7: some stuff that really sucks... And, you know, you can
Speaker 7: tie your shoes up and hang them over your neck,
Speaker 7: put them in your backpack, even if they're your hiking
Speaker 7: boots and they're waterproof. Like, just because your boots are
Speaker 7: waterproof doesn't mean you want to get them soaked, right?
Speaker 7: But hip waders, when you're dealing with high water, particularly
Speaker 7: at home or maybe even camping or something along those lines,
Speaker 7: they give you the ability to create a barrier between
Speaker 7: you and that flood water for whatever kind of stuff
Speaker 7: you have to deal with outside.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 7: And they've been invaluable to me. When the waters rise.
Speaker 7: And there's things. Oh I got to go grab that thing.
Speaker 7: Or oh the water is coming up here. Or oh
Speaker 7: the chickens. The chickens are in the back of the yard.
Speaker 7: Their coop is going under. I'm going to move it.
Speaker 7: You know what I mean. And rather than run back there.
Speaker 7: And stand in running water. Or standing water or whatever.
Speaker 7: You throw the hip waders on. You go out there
Speaker 7: into that water. And do the thing that needs to
Speaker 7: be done. And yeah. They're affordable. They're a great option.
Speaker 7: And then you know. When trout season comes, you can
Speaker 7: put them on and go fish the mountains in the
Speaker 7: wintertime and fly fish like some magical fly fisherman in
Speaker 7: the highlands. Hip waders. Think about it. Talk to you soon, folks.
Speaker 1: Your get-home bag or your get-home kit.
Speaker 7: Should mirror the distance. It should look a lot like
Speaker 7: the distance. It should be there to accommodate the distance
Speaker 7: and the terrain that you have to cover. You see
Speaker 7: a get-home bag, or you hear the word get-home bag,
Speaker 7: which is a popular term in the prepper world, and
Speaker 7: automatically you assume, like any rational person would, oh, I
Speaker 7: need a bag. I need a bag full of stuff
Speaker 7: because I'm making a get-home bag. But what I came
Speaker 7: to realize, I don't know, nine, eight, nine years ago,
Speaker 7: something like that now, is a get-home bag is a hindrance.
Speaker 7: For where I was working, the terrain I'd have to
Speaker 7: cover to get home, the things I actually would need, right?
Speaker 7: In other words, if you have a get-home bag with
Speaker 7: a folding saw in it, and you're traversing, you know, suburban,
Speaker 7: urban sprawl for 10 miles.
Speaker 7: On foot, this is your get home, you know, operation,
Speaker 7: leave the saw, right? The folding saw is not going
Speaker 7: to serve you. You're not going to be building a shelter.
Speaker 7: You're not going to be cutting firewood, pardon me, in
Speaker 7: order to execute on your get home operation. The goal
Speaker 7: is very straightforward with a get home kit or a
Speaker 7: get home bag. Unlike a bug out bag that could
Speaker 7: be a little more you know, a little more. With
Speaker 7: the get-home kit or the get-home bag, you really are
Speaker 7: whittling down. You know, the bug-out bag mentality always seems
Speaker 7: like pile as much stuff in a bag as possible.
Speaker 7: And a lot of that has to do with the
Speaker 7: God's honest truth that, you know, people make a lot
Speaker 7: of money selling bug-out bags, whether or not they work
Speaker 7: or not. The get-home kit, the get-home bag, is about you,
Speaker 7: it's about your distance, and your terrain, okay, so, so
Speaker 7: where are you going, how are you getting there, and so,
Speaker 7: if you're under 20 miles, the least amount of gear
Speaker 7: you can carry, the better, you know, if you're under
Speaker 7: 20 miles, and you, you know, you're not traversing some
Speaker 7: kind of crazy, like, you're not, you don't have to
Speaker 7: avoid the highways and go through marsh or something crazy
Speaker 7: like that but if you're covering you know like a
Speaker 7: lot of people are urban suburban terrain god sorry i'm
Speaker 7: laughing because i my my vehicle right has a has
Speaker 7: a uh a magnet in it that causes trains to
Speaker 7: come no matter where i go if i'm near a
Speaker 7: train track then the train will be like sucked into
Speaker 7: my presence So keep that in mind, folks. That is
Speaker 7: my prepper tip of the day. Your get-home bag or
Speaker 7: your get-home kit probably doesn't have to be as big
Speaker 7: as it is. If you're thinking it over right now,
Speaker 7: it could be. What it probably should be is a
Speaker 7: get-home pouch with a change of shoes. If you have
Speaker 7: an EDC that carries a lot of the fundamentals, then
Speaker 7: you probably have a get-home pouch. or even a get-home
Speaker 7: water bottle with a change of shoes. Really. In most cases,
Speaker 7: you're in a situation where for some reason you can't
Speaker 7: use the vehicle, but you have to get home, or
Speaker 7: there's some kind of impediments to the vehicle on the road, disaster, emergency, whatever,
Speaker 7: natural disaster. Your get-home kit shouldn't be a mountaineering framed backpack.
Speaker 7: Filled with sternos for cooking meals. Mountain house meals. Because
Speaker 7: all you're going to do is overburden yourself. And really probably...
Speaker 7: The most important thing.
Speaker 2: Well, no.
Speaker 7: The most important thing. Not even a probably. The most
Speaker 7: important thing with your get-home operation is speed. Right? You
Speaker 7: have decided that what I have to do is get home.
Speaker 7: And I have to use whatever I've stored to get home. Well,
Speaker 7: now it's a matter of speed. How do I get
Speaker 7: there as quickly as possible to take care of what
Speaker 7: I need to take care of? How do I get
Speaker 7: back to survival headquarters in the ASAP and... what do
Speaker 7: I really need for that operation? Talk to you guys soon. Oh,

Speaker 1: It's time for the prepper tip of the day.
Speaker 8: Hey everybody, this is Carl B. from The Strange Truth,
Speaker 8: and I'm just dropping my prepper tip for the day, right?
Speaker 2: Rat traps!
Speaker 8: If this has not yet been covered, okay? I just realized,
Speaker 8: and I know how important rat traps are, but we
Speaker 8: had a little incident over the Christmas, the celebrations where
Speaker 8: one of our windows was open because we had to
Speaker 8: run all those cords out to light up the porch. And,
Speaker 8: you know, a couple field mice got in. We've never
Speaker 8: had a problem with mice before. It's the first time, really.
Speaker 8: And a couple field mice got in, and man, it
Speaker 8: was a rain of terror for a while. You know,
Speaker 8: they got into, you know, the rice that I had
Speaker 8: and stuff like that. And we ended up throwing, you know,
Speaker 8: probably about 20 pounds of rice, you know. So eventually
Speaker 8: I had to go and, you know, and get some
Speaker 8: proper rat traps. I had stuff like that I would
Speaker 8: put out like in the outside sheds and stuff like that.
Speaker 8: But for the house, you know, you can't put you
Speaker 8: can't put anything that's, you know, like poison or whatever.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 8: So I just bought some rat traps.
Speaker 2: And you know what?
Speaker 8: Actually used cheese and it.
Speaker 2: Worked like a charm.
Speaker 8: So it's, it's not, uh, uh, you know, it's not a, it's, it's, it's,
Speaker 8: it's not a myth or, or, or, or an old
Speaker 8: wives tale or whatever they want to call it.
Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
Speaker 8: Uh, you know, cheese really does work. And, um, so
Speaker 8: we use the cheese or we set a couple of
Speaker 8: traps and bam, bam, bam, you know, there were two
Speaker 8: running around and we caught them. And since then, hey,
Speaker 8: we're good. But if you are looking to store food
Speaker 8: and especially, you know, in a grid down situation, right,
Speaker 8: where you can't get to the store and if you
Speaker 8: don't have some proper traps to take care of pests
Speaker 8: like that, then you might find yourself in a lot
Speaker 8: of problems. Because it was interesting to me that they
Speaker 8: didn't go for like any of the sweet stuff. They
Speaker 8: went for the rice or grain, you know, like when
Speaker 8: they're out. side i think that's what that's what they
Speaker 8: eat for the most part you know like grains and
Speaker 8: stuff like that so they went directly for the rice
Speaker 8: so that's my proper tip of the day.
Speaker 2: Maybe you know what a zombie is when a person
Speaker 2: dies and is buried seems a certain voodoo priest who
Speaker 2: will have the power to bring him back to life
Speaker 2: it's worse than horrible because a zombie has no will
Speaker 2: of his own You see them sometimes, walking around blindly
Speaker 2: with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they.
Speaker 4: Do, not caring. You mean like Democrats? PPN Family, it's time.
Speaker 1: For the prepper tip of the day.
Speaker 7: Talking water today folks talking uh water sanitization we don't
Speaker 7: purify water okay most of the time most people aren't
Speaker 7: making plans to purify water you're making plans to sanitize
Speaker 7: water you're making plans to make it so that the
Speaker 7: water you drink uh won't kill you right the parasites
Speaker 7: the pathogens and so on within the water uh sanitization
Speaker 7: the sanitization process whatever you use we're going to talk
Speaker 7: about one of them here um It's designed to kill
Speaker 7: everything in the water that could harm you potentially. Microorganisms, right?
Speaker 7: What I want to talk to you about and the
Speaker 7: method that I want to drill into your head today is...
Speaker 7: It's the 6-8-8-6 rule.
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 7: Say it with me, class. The 6-8-8-6 rule. Looking at purifying, sanitizing...
Speaker 7: Water with bleach, looking over the process and how it's done,
Speaker 7: you know, bleach is cheap, it's easy, it's something you
Speaker 7: should definitely store. I'm still one of those, you know,
Speaker 7: planet-hating people who cleans with bleach, right?
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 7: But looking over how to really sanitize water with bleach,
Speaker 7: I saw a pattern, and the pattern became the 6-8-8-6 rule,
Speaker 7: and I want you to burn it into your brain
Speaker 7: so that you don't even have to think about it.
Speaker 7: You don't even have to think about it. You tape
Speaker 7: an eyedropper to your bleach bottle or put an eyedropper
Speaker 7: somewhere you know where it is. And what you're going
Speaker 7: to do with the 6-8-8-6 rule is pretty simple. You
Speaker 7: come across 6% bleach. You're going to put 8 drops
Speaker 7: of 6% bleach into a gallon of water. Shake it up,
Speaker 7: wait 30 minutes. The water is sanitized. Has nothing to
Speaker 7: do with filtration and so on, right? You could put
Speaker 7: it through a coffee filter if you wanted to get
Speaker 7: sediment and things like that out of it to make
Speaker 7: it a little more palatable. Or if you had some
Speaker 7: kind of better filter, hopefully you have a better filter.
Speaker 7: I'm a huge proponent of the pressurized jerry can by
Speaker 7: Hydro Blue. I think it is the best larger scale
Speaker 7: water filter out there to really actually meet your water
Speaker 7: needs in a crisis, you know, so that you're not
Speaker 7: pumping water by hand for 40 minutes at a time
Speaker 7: or whatever um i think it's a really great really
Speaker 7: great water filter that first stage filtration process is one
Speaker 7: thing but the sanitization process is much more important that
Speaker 7: kills off the harmful bacteria the pathogens and so forth
Speaker 7: the parasites six eight eight six six drops of eight
Speaker 7: percent bleach will sanitize one gallon of water. That's the 6-8-8-6.
Speaker 7: You guessed it. Eight drops of 6% bleach will sanitize
Speaker 7: one gallon of water. Okay, so the 6-8-8-6 rule. You
Speaker 7: may not be tuned in on your bleach buying because
Speaker 7: I sure as hell am not. You know what I
Speaker 7: look for when I buy bleach? Price and unscented. That's
Speaker 7: where I'm going. I want unscented bleach and I want
Speaker 7: a reasonable price. I don't sit there and, is it 8%?
Speaker 1: Is it 6%?
Speaker 7: What percentage is it? I don't care. I'm here to
Speaker 7: buy bleach. I wanted to bleach things. So if you're
Speaker 7: like me and you have bleach, then what you're going
Speaker 7: to think to yourself is, all right, I got 6% bleach.
Speaker 7: How much do I got to add? The 6-8-8-6 rule,
Speaker 7: PBN family. Thanks for everything, folks. I hope you're enjoying

Speaker 1: Today is all about storing more baking soda.
Speaker 7: The prepper tip of the day is about storing more
Speaker 7: baking soda because baking soda does everything. It's dirt cheap, really.
Speaker 7: I mean, it's really amazing just how affordable it is
Speaker 7: to store a lot of baking soda, five-gallon buckets, whatever
Speaker 7: you want to do. I thought we'd talk a little
Speaker 7: bit about the things that you can do with baking
Speaker 7: soda today to sort of drive home the fact that this,
Speaker 7: you know, I mean, aside from that actual baking, what
Speaker 7: I first got into learning about baking soda and the
Speaker 7: power of baking soda was all about personal hygiene. It
Speaker 7: was all about, I started understanding like you can make
Speaker 7: things like deodorant from baking soda, right? It's as simple
Speaker 7: as mixing one part baking soda to six parts cornstarch.
Speaker 7: Or even arrowroot powder. You can put essential oils in
Speaker 7: that if you want it to have a scent. What
Speaker 7: really got me going about it, you can make toothpaste.
Speaker 7: A lot of times the base for the toothpaste is
Speaker 7: baking soda, coconut oil. You make a paste from that.
Speaker 7: You can flavor it with essential oils if you want.
Speaker 7: You can add salt to it. Dry shampoo, body scrub, mouthwash.
Speaker 7: You can make a really good mouthwash with baking soda
Speaker 7: and some mint essential oils. You can make a foot soak, right?
Speaker 7: You can make, and that's nothing. That's like two tablespoons
Speaker 7: of baking soda in a basin of warm water, right?
Speaker 2: Easy.
Speaker 7: Hand cleanser, right? All kinds of stuff from a personal
Speaker 7: hygiene standpoint. This list right here that I'm reading you
Speaker 7: was a big driver behind why I said we need
Speaker 7: to store more baking soda. Otherwise, you're thinking, we got
Speaker 7: to store extra toothpaste. We got to store extra mouthwash.
Speaker 7: We got to store extra shampoo. We got to store
Speaker 7: extra this. We got to store extra that, right? If
Speaker 7: you learn to make soap and have baking soda, you
Speaker 7: learn the process of soponification, and you have baking soda
Speaker 7: at large, I mean, a lot of your personal hygiene
Speaker 7: problems are going to go out the door. Maybe you
Speaker 7: store a little surplus of coconut oil to help with
Speaker 7: both processes, right? But I'm telling you right now, And
Speaker 7: we're not even talking about cleaning. All-purpose cleaners, right? Cleaning carpets,
Speaker 7: cleaning drains, cleaning ovens, boosting your dwindling laundry cleaner, right,
Speaker 7: in an emergency. You can clean the grout between your tiles. Obviously,
Speaker 7: deodorize the fridge. We've been doing that forever. You can
Speaker 7: use it to polish. I don't know how much polishing
Speaker 7: of silverware and jewelry you're going to do, but you
Speaker 7: never know, right? Maybe you've got some dingy silver coins
Speaker 7: you want to use. You want to sell? So it's
Speaker 7: a quick and easy tip, guys. That's what I'm after, okay?
Speaker 7: That's what I'm after. Store more baking soda. You don't
Speaker 7: have enough baking soda. Store more baking soda because it
Speaker 7: solves all kinds of problems for you. And it's one
Speaker 7: of those things that, like I said, right now and normally,
Speaker 7: it's dirt cheap. Not to mention you can bake a
Speaker 7: bunch of stuff with it, right? But it's dirt cheap,
Speaker 7: easy to get your hands on, easy to store. In fact,
Speaker 7: if you buy it in bulk at like a Sam's Club,
Speaker 7: you can get it in an orange Ziploc bag, a
Speaker 7: large fortified, like a really strong Ziploc. Great way to
Speaker 7: store it. Get it while you can. That's it. Buy
Speaker 7: the baking soda, your prepper tip of the day. And
Speaker 7: you know what? One bonus tip, make the stuff. It's
Speaker 7: enough to have it, but it's even better to make
Speaker 7: some baking soda-based mouthwash or See how it works. Make
Speaker 7: some baking soda and coconut oil toothpaste and see how
Speaker 7: it works. You don't want too many firsts, right? You
Speaker 7: don't want too many firsts in an emergency. We got
Speaker 7: to quote Dave Jones, the NBC guy. Thank you guys
Speaker 7: so much for the support. Hey, visit pbnfamily.com. You could
Speaker 7: become a member for $ 5 a month. Did you know that?
Speaker 7: Did you know you can support PBN and get access
Speaker 7: to amazing preparedness content for $ 5 a month?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Think it over. I'd love to see you on the
Speaker 7: members' side. Talk soon.
Speaker 2: Well, hello, everyone out there in Internet Radio Land. This
Speaker 2: is Dave Jones, the NBC guy. And for my last,
Speaker 2: my final tip, get your Prepper Camp tickets. No, I'm joking,
Speaker 2: but I'm not joking, okay? Because I'm recording this the
Speaker 2: day before we're leaving for Prepper Camp. So I'm getting
Speaker 2: all my tips in. So, you know, the internet at
Speaker 2: Prepper Camp has been iffy over the years. And I
Speaker 2: don't want to have to take time to do the tips.
Speaker 2: So I'm doing them before I go and pre-posting them.
Speaker 2: So my tip is get your tickets to Prepper Camp. No,
Speaker 2: I'm joking. But you could probably count that as a tip.
Speaker 2: I mean, here's the thing. It's super well worth it.
Speaker 2: You can't go wrong. Like James said, if you even
Speaker 2: go for one day you will be filled with information
Speaker 2: and your batteries will be recharged. I describe it as
Speaker 2: being exhilarating and exhausting all at the same time. There's
Speaker 2: really nothing like it. It's pretty amazing. But you'll hear
Speaker 2: all about Prepper Camp because we're going to be recording
Speaker 2: stuff all through Prepper Camp. Here is my tip. Create
Speaker 2: An infirmary.
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: Create an infirmary. Have a place in your house where
Speaker 2: you know you're going to put sick people. Okay? Ours
Speaker 2: is in our basement. We have a half-finished basement and
Speaker 2: there's a half-bath down there. And my daughter has, you know,
Speaker 2: she had a little twin bed growing up with drawers
Speaker 2: in it. So we put that down there, has a mattress,
Speaker 2: and it's right next to the bathroom. So if anybody's sick,
Speaker 2: they can go there. But more importantly, that's where we
Speaker 2: keep all our medical supplies. Everything that we accumulate medically,
Speaker 2: we have a spot for it. And if something happened,
Speaker 2: we could take someone there, take their vitals, they could rest.
Speaker 2: It's cool. in the summer. It's warm in the winter.
Speaker 2: So even if all the power was out and the
Speaker 2: heat was out, it would be a place that, you know,
Speaker 2: with a few blankets or something like that, it could
Speaker 2: be very functional. And it's away from everybody else's living area.
Speaker 2: So it's secluded and away. It can be a quarantine area.
Speaker 2: But have this place established. so that you don't have
Speaker 2: to think about it. You don't have to change something
Speaker 2: to make this happen. Say, this is where we're going
Speaker 2: to have the medical supplies. This is where we need
Speaker 2: to bring injured people, wounded people for treatment. So that's
Speaker 2: my final tip. I hope you had a great 30
Speaker 2: days of Prepper Tips. And thanks for the emails. I
Speaker 2: really appreciate it. Take care and prep on. Hello, everyone
Speaker 2: out there in Internet Radio Land. This is Dave Jones,
Speaker 2: the NBC guy. And I'm pretty sure I've talked about
Speaker 2: this before. I may be a tip. It may not
Speaker 2: be a tip. But have you a roll or two
Speaker 2: of caution tape? Caution tape on hand. You never know
Speaker 2: when you're going to be able to block off an
Speaker 2: area with just a piece of plastic tape. I'll tell you,
Speaker 2: part of our plan is to block off our driveway.
Speaker 2: I have biohazard signs. I'm going to put whatever the
Speaker 2: latest virus is on there and a date. And I'm
Speaker 2: going to block off the driveway with some logs. And
Speaker 2: with that caution tape and the biohazard sign, if anybody
Speaker 2: comes past that, well, then they're crazy, okay? You know,
Speaker 2: I'm going to put Ebola, Zika, whatever, whatever the virus
Speaker 2: is of the day. I would have put COVID back then, but,
Speaker 2: you know, COVID ain't anything anymore. I might even put anthrax.
Speaker 2: Who knows? You know, anthrax. And here, this goes along
Speaker 2: with it. know the FEMA designation that they've developed after
Speaker 2: Katrina to paint on the side of your house what's
Speaker 2: in there. If you do that, people will know FEMA's
Speaker 2: already been through this house and put dead bodies on
Speaker 2: there because one quadrant is a dead body, another quadrant's
Speaker 2: the date. But know that, Google that, that they paint
Speaker 2: in red spray paint on the side of houses. If
Speaker 2: you want to throw people off, you know, it goes
Speaker 2: along with the caution tape. If you want people to
Speaker 2: avoid your house or an area, put some caution tape
Speaker 2: up there. It's little, it's inexpensive, and you should have
Speaker 2: some on hand. You never know when that will come
Speaker 2: in handy. And maybe some red spray paint. There you go.
Speaker 2: That is my prepper tip for the day. Take care
Speaker 2: and prep on. You need to have some mad money.
Speaker 2: Mad money on hand. And what I mean by mad
Speaker 2: money is some money tucked back in your wallet somewhere,
Speaker 2: maybe behind your driver's license or an ID card, tucked
Speaker 2: way back in a hidden spot in your wallet, can
Speaker 2: be a couple 20s, can be a couple 50s, maybe
Speaker 2: a C-note. It's up to you how much mad money
Speaker 2: you want to have on hand. But this money is
Speaker 2: for emergencies when you don't have cash. and you can't
Speaker 2: get cash. Do you understand? It's called mad money because
Speaker 2: back in the day, when there were cabs, if a
Speaker 2: girl went out on a date with a guy and
Speaker 2: she didn't like him or he was being too forward,
Speaker 2: she could get out of the car, go get a cab,
Speaker 2: and had money in her purse, her wallet, that she
Speaker 2: could get a cab and go home. So you need
Speaker 2: to have some mad money on hand because you never
Speaker 2: know when that incredible emergency is going to strike. Now,
Speaker 2: you know, are you going to carry $ 100, you know,
Speaker 2: $ 100 bill? Well, maybe, but how are you going to
Speaker 2: break that? Are you going to tear it in half?
Speaker 2: Although I did that one time. Long story. I tore
Speaker 2: it in half and said, look, if we have a
Speaker 2: good time by the end of the night, I'll give
Speaker 2: you the other half. And the waitress kept the drinks coming. So...
Speaker 2: Just saying, it's a technique. I'll tell you, it was
Speaker 2: actually a 20 I did this to. And this was
Speaker 2: back in the day when $ 20 was worth, you know, $ 15.
Speaker 2: Now it's not worth $ 10. But have some mad money
Speaker 2: on hand. You never know when that emergency will hit.
Speaker 2: Take care and prep on. This prepper tip is one
Speaker 2: I know I said before. So look into an ozonator.
Speaker 2: Do your own research. Ozonators produce ozone, which purifies air, water.
Speaker 2: 70% of the bottled water that you drink is purified
Speaker 2: by ozonating it. It's quick, it's easy, it does require electricity,
Speaker 2: but an ozonator can do so much more than just
Speaker 2: purify water. It can sanitize a room. If you put
Speaker 2: ozone in a closed room, It will kill the viruses
Speaker 2: and bacteria in that room. Smells, it takes smells out.
Speaker 2: If you're processing game or something like that, meat, you
Speaker 2: can put in some water and ozonate the meat to
Speaker 2: sterilize the outside to make sure that there's no salmonella
Speaker 2: or anything on that. So an ozonator... They're around $ 100.
Speaker 2: They're an inexpensive prep that can do a lot of
Speaker 2: different things. And look into it. You may think, nah,
Speaker 2: I'm just going to boil it. I'm boiling it. I'm done.
Speaker 2: That's it. I'm boiling it. But I like to have
Speaker 2: different methods so that I can do different things with,
Speaker 2: you know, different stuff.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 2: Look into an ozonator. That is my prepper tip for
Speaker 2: the day. Ozonate. Take care and prep on. Well, hello, hello,
Speaker 2: hello out there in internet radio land. This is Dave Jones,
Speaker 2: the NBC guy, and I have another prepper tip for
Speaker 2: you today. And it kind of goes along with the compass.
Speaker 2: So here's what the prepper tip is. Know your pace count. Okay?
Speaker 2: What is a pace count? That's how many steps you
Speaker 2: take to make it 100 meters. So if you have
Speaker 2: a topographical map, you'll be able to tell how far
Speaker 2: you've walked into the woods by the number of steps.
Speaker 2: So let's say we can use my pace count. It's 122. 122.
Speaker 2: for every 120, now in rough terrain, your pace count
Speaker 2: would get more, okay? So this is flat level measured.
Speaker 2: You can go to a track and march it off,
Speaker 2: you know, a football field, a track, 100 meters, count
Speaker 2: the steps, and that is your pace count. Now when
Speaker 2: you're going through the brush and the briars and snow,
Speaker 2: any kind of terrain like that, you have to increase
Speaker 2: the number of paces to get the same. Do not
Speaker 2: think that every 120 is going to cut it because
Speaker 2: you're going to be taking more steps so you don't
Speaker 2: fall over things. And then have a little piece of
Speaker 2: parachute cord You might see this, you know, on some
Speaker 2: movies or stuff like that. A little piece of parachute
Speaker 2: cord to tie a knot every 100 meters. So as
Speaker 2: many knots as you've tied in that little piece of cord,
Speaker 2: that's how far you've gone. And, you know, that way
Speaker 2: you can keep track of the distance you travel in
Speaker 2: the woods with your map along an azimuth, if you
Speaker 2: know how to use a compass. So you shoot an azimuth,
Speaker 2: you go into the woods, you know how far you've gone,
Speaker 2: so you can pinpoint your location, you know, pretty well
Speaker 2: on the map because you went on that direction, that
Speaker 2: azimuth with your compass. So know what your pace count
Speaker 2: is and do this now on the flat, on the level,
Speaker 2: no rain, so that you can determine over rough terrain,
Speaker 2: what your pace count would be. That's my prepper tip
Speaker 2: for the day. Pace count. Take care and prep on. Hello,
Speaker 2: everyone out there in Internet Radio Land. This is Dave Jones,
Speaker 2: the NBC guy, coming to you with the prepper tip
Speaker 2: of the day, and that is have a compass. You
Speaker 2: need to have at least one compass per bug-out bag.
Speaker 2: And everybody in your group needs to know how to
Speaker 2: use a compass. Okay? I highly recommend the Prepper Survival
Speaker 2: Navigation book. It was written by G-Man. He boils down
Speaker 2: and distills military land navigation in an easy-to-understand manner. manual
Speaker 2: that you could put right in your backpack and take
Speaker 2: it with you and practice anywhere you go. Terrain associate,
Speaker 2: but have a compass and know how to use it.
Speaker 2: At least one. When I was in the army, I
Speaker 2: carried more than one compass just in case my main
Speaker 2: compass got broke. This is before GPS and And if
Speaker 2: you believe in EMP and the SHTF and all that
Speaker 2: kind of stuff, a compass will work when GPS is down.
Speaker 2: A compass still works as long as the Earth has
Speaker 2: a magnetic field. So I can't recommend this enough. Get
Speaker 2: you that book. It's like $ 15. It'll probably be the
Speaker 2: best land nav book you ever purchased. Easy to understand.
Speaker 2: and get at least one compass per bug-out bag per person.
Speaker 2: That's my prepper tip for the day, a compass. Take care,
Speaker 2: and prep on.
Speaker 4: Let's get to the tip, which today we're.
Speaker 1: Going to talk about a solar-powered compass.
Speaker 7: Owl that we call Mr. Okaks. If you keep chickens,
Speaker 7: if you keep quail, if you keep anything along those lines,
Speaker 7: then you know that predation is a thing, right? Predators
Speaker 7: are real. They are a problem. I have had massacres
Speaker 7: in my backyard, absolute massacres. And they're always watching. One
Speaker 7: thing about predators you have to know, they're always watching.
Speaker 7: They are waiting for the night that you slip up,
Speaker 7: the night that you forget to lock up, the night
Speaker 7: that you forget to put that bungee cord on, lock
Speaker 7: that fence, whatever it is that you do every night.
Speaker 7: So many times it's been that one night for me
Speaker 7: where they've gotten me. One of the techniques, one of
Speaker 7: the things that we employed years ago was a an
Speaker 7: owl essentially like a scarecrow type owl garden owl that
Speaker 7: sits in the chicken coop on a post and And
Speaker 7: this owl in particular is solar powered and its eyes
Speaker 7: light up at dusk. And they stay on throughout the night.
Speaker 7: And we've never had an issue when Mr. Okax is up. Now, Mr. Okax, sometimes,
Speaker 7: this is what we call him. Some of you may
Speaker 7: know the reference. Very few. But I don't know. You
Speaker 7: might know that. Who knows? We read a book when
Speaker 7: my son, my oldest, was in elementary school called Poppy.
Speaker 7: The school sent it home and it said, read Poppy. Actually,
Speaker 7: I think it might have been during COVID. And it
Speaker 7: was in a signed book. So we read it together
Speaker 7: at nighttime before bed.
Speaker 4: And Mr.
Speaker 7: Okax was the antagonist. He was essentially the owl who
Speaker 7: was eating all the field mice in the family. Poppy
Speaker 7: was about a field mouse. So we called it Mr. Okax.
Speaker 1: And Mr.
Speaker 7: Okax sits up on his perch and is powered by
Speaker 7: the sun. And his lights come on at night. And
Speaker 7: it gives predators, at least in our area, just enough
Speaker 7: pause to say... I don't know if I want to
Speaker 7: go meet Mr.
Speaker 1: Okax.
Speaker 7: Now, we also move it, you know, we move it
Speaker 7: from time to time because you got to make things,
Speaker 7: you got to switch things up or the predators will
Speaker 7: get used to it and they'll get a little closer
Speaker 7: and get a little closer and then they'll realize.
Speaker 6: Oh, Mr.
Speaker 7: Okax is fake. So that's my prepper tip for the day, folks.
Speaker 7: Get yourself one of these owls that you can stick
Speaker 7: in your yard somewhere, whatever you're protecting. They work in
Speaker 7: the garden too. But somewhere you need to protect things.
Speaker 7: I think Mr. Okak's... Don't search it up that way.
Speaker 7: It's just an owl with solar-powered eyes. LED lights for eyes.
Speaker 7: I'll link to it down in the description. I think
Speaker 7: that this is... Well, this has been one of the
Speaker 7: most effective ways of deterring predators that we've used.
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 7: And we see a difference when he's up, you know,
Speaker 7: compared to when we're replacing him or when he breaks
Speaker 7: or something along those lines.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 7: Give it a whirl. Protect them yard birds. Keep those
Speaker 7: eggs flowing and meat birds. Keep them nice and plump.
Speaker 7: That is a huge part of self-reliance and independence, all right?

Speaker 7: want you to sit down and plan out your next
Speaker 7: prepper adventure or your next prepper challenge. I've done a
Speaker 7: lot of things over the years. Nothing has made me

Speaker 7: made me a better prepper. The way that doing Ration
Speaker 7: or Ruin has made me a better prepper. These are
Speaker 7: prepper challenges that we've done here at the Prepper Broadcasting Network.
Speaker 7: And I'm telling you right now, even if it's just
Speaker 7: a bug out operation, right? But do it. A get
Speaker 7: home operation. Throw a get home bag on your back.
Speaker 7: And walk home. Physically do it. Don't think about how
Speaker 7: it's going to work. Don't think about what you might
Speaker 7: need to add to make it work better hypothetically. Forget
Speaker 7: about hypothetically. We're trying to eliminate firsts. And look what
Speaker 7: really could go wrong. And what really works in the face.
Speaker 7: So you know it long before it ever really comes
Speaker 7: to fruition. It can be whatever you want. If you
Speaker 7: need help. Look back in the archives. At Ration and Ruin.
Speaker 7: Look at Azure Highland. Look at Gotham. Get out and
Speaker 7: see some of the things that you can do or
Speaker 7: maybe generate some ideas from the prepping challenges that we've

Speaker 7: I had many chicken feeders in my many days keeping chickens.
Speaker 7: We've been at it for 12 years now. Starting with
Speaker 7: the chick feeders, the little plastic chick feeders, moving to
Speaker 7: a larger feed system that seemed to be Just constantly
Speaker 7: filled with leaves and dirt every single day. Same thing
Speaker 7: with the water container. You know what we also had?
Speaker 7: We had the feeder that's hooked to the side of
Speaker 7: the chicken coop. And they'd jump inside of that thing
Speaker 7: and that thing would be a mess. What really changed
Speaker 7: the game was the rain-proof gravity feeder 5-gallon bucket attachment.
Speaker 7: Not only did this change the game because... Now I
Speaker 7: can put five gallons of food out at a time.
Speaker 7: And for six chickens, that's a lot. But again, rain,
Speaker 7: no problem, right? Where you place these fixtures on your fire,
Speaker 7: you take these fixtures, you use a circle saw and
Speaker 7: you basically drill out the like three or four places
Speaker 7: in the five gallon bucket where you want the chickens
Speaker 7: to be able to feed from. I do three spots
Speaker 7: on the five gallon bucket. It's plenty. It means at
Speaker 7: least half of my chickens are eating at the same time.
Speaker 7: These things are dirt cheap. They're less than $ 20. And
Speaker 7: they change the game. And the other thing, we deal
Speaker 7: with all kinds of moving and shaking overnight. Depending on
Speaker 7: where the food is. I don't keep the food in
Speaker 7: the coop or even in the run anymore because animals
Speaker 7: go in. Not even to kill the chickens, just to
Speaker 7: eat their food. So the... ability to grab a five
Speaker 7: gallon bucket by the handle, right? And throw it in
Speaker 7: the shed eliminates a lot of these interactions with predators and,
Speaker 7: and predation that potential predation that could happen with the chickens.
Speaker 7: So these little, like I said, circle saw screw in the,
Speaker 7: the fixture on the back and on the front, right?
Speaker 7: On any five gallon bucket and you're a prepper. So
Speaker 7: you've got five gallon buckets. I know you do got
Speaker 7: to have a lid, right? And your feed is protected.
Speaker 7: Your feed is protected from the rain and the weather.
Speaker 7: Your feed is protected, um, from pests and rodents if
Speaker 7: you store it in a different place overnight. And to me,
Speaker 7: it was the most effective, the most efficient way to
Speaker 7: feed chickens. I'll link to it down below if you
Speaker 7: want to get a peek at what it looks like.
Speaker 7: The kit that I used is the same kit I'm
Speaker 7: going to link to. It comes with the circle saw
Speaker 7: attachment for your power drill and, uh, Yeah, it'll take
Speaker 7: you about 15 minutes to build the most dynamic and
Speaker 7: effective chicken feeder possible. Thanks for everything, folks. I hope
Speaker 7: you enjoyed today's Prepper Tip of the Day.
Speaker 2: Hello, everyone out there on Internet Radio Land. This is
Speaker 2: Dave Jones, the NBC guy, with your prepper tip of
Speaker 2: the day. Now, I'm going to talk quickly so that
Speaker 2: you understand the tip and you can get on about
Speaker 2: your day. Your basic load, the amount of ammunition that
Speaker 2: you will carry with you. A U.S. Army infantryman carries
Speaker 2: 210 rounds. in 30-round magazines, you are not that guy, okay?
Speaker 2: My tip is you need enough ammunition to get someone's
Speaker 2: heads down and run away, run away, okay? So if
Speaker 2: you think about how much equipment and gear you can carry,
Speaker 2: think hard about the amount of ammunition you carry, okay?
Speaker 2: Because I'm telling you, three or four rounds well-placed will
Speaker 2: put everybody's heads down and you can run away. Trust me,
Speaker 2: when someone's shooting at you, you want to get underneath
Speaker 2: the grass. So they will not see you if you
Speaker 2: put a couple rounds, even if you shoot them straight
Speaker 2: up in the air. They hear the shots, you know,
Speaker 2: they're going to get down. So think about the amount
Speaker 2: of ammunition you absolutely positively need for whatever you're doing.
Speaker 2: And like I said, what you're doing, you should be
Speaker 2: running away. That's your prepper tip of the day. Take
Speaker 2: care and prep on. Along with your get-out bag, get-home bag,
Speaker 2: bug-out bag, this is something that you need to include
Speaker 2: and is often overlooked is... a paper and pencil, some
Speaker 2: kind of writing implement. If you want to leave a
Speaker 2: note for someone, if you want to draw a sketch,
Speaker 2: a map, you have to have something in your bag
Speaker 2: to do that. It's vitally important and often overlooked. So
Speaker 2: have a pen and paper, um, It's something durable and
Speaker 2: that you can write a note, maybe pass on something.
Speaker 2: Markers are good. If you have a plan to leave information,
Speaker 2: if you're not at your house and the plan is
Speaker 2: to get to your house, say, I will leave you
Speaker 2: a message in this closet. So on the inside of
Speaker 2: the closet, you may write, went to location one or
Speaker 2: something like that. So you have to have something to
Speaker 2: write with. It would be bad if you're getting down to, hey,
Speaker 2: I'll get this charcoal from the fire and write with that. Well,
Speaker 2: there's another tip. You can write with charcoal from the fire.
Speaker 2: You can also camouflage your face with. With the charcoal,
Speaker 2: the charcoal rubs on really good, okay, and washes off
Speaker 2: better than actual camo stick. So if you have nothing else,
Speaker 2: there are two tips in one. Use charcoal from your
Speaker 2: fire to rub on your face and your hands to
Speaker 2: blacken it out and cut the shine.
Speaker 7: There you go.
Speaker 2: PBN family, take care and prep on. Okay, make a list.
Speaker 2: Sit down right now. Make a list of 10 things
Speaker 2: that you can do when things get a little hairy.
Speaker 2: When your prep or sense is tingling. Because here's what happens.
Speaker 2: If you do something wrong. you eliminate stress. You need
Speaker 2: to eliminate stress to be able to think clearly. So
Speaker 2: action eliminates stress. Make a list of 10 things that
Speaker 2: you can do whenever, you know, they start saber rattling
Speaker 2: or you think something's going to happen, you know, or
Speaker 2: a hurricane is imminent, you know, things like that. Like,
Speaker 2: making sure all your rechargeable batteries are recharged. How about
Speaker 2: topping off your propane tanks? If you have propane, top
Speaker 2: them off. How about getting five more gallons of gas
Speaker 2: or filling up the gas cans that may be empty?
Speaker 2: Things that you can do to take action whenever, you know,
Speaker 2: things get a little hairy. This action will take your
Speaker 2: mind off the situation and get, you know, make you
Speaker 2: less stressed because you've actually done something to further your preparedness,
Speaker 2: maybe inventory your ammo, check your water, check, you know,
Speaker 2: your water supply, uh, maybe put up another five gallons
Speaker 2: of water. Oh, that's the warden. So that's my prepper
Speaker 2: tip for today. hello everyone out there in internet radio
Speaker 2: land this is dave jones the nbc guy i'm doing
Speaker 2: this on two separate cell phones so that's why it's
Speaker 2: a little wonky sometimes uh i play the music the
Speaker 2: intro on one cell phone and i'm recording on another
Speaker 2: but my prepper tip is where to find good deals
Speaker 2: shopping shopping for the prepper stuff right You know, the
Speaker 2: Intrepid Commander talks about thrift stores all the time, but
Speaker 2: I want to open it up. You know, garage sales, yeah,
Speaker 2: but estate sales, estate sales, you can find, and the
Speaker 2: reason this is top of mind for me, top of mind,
Speaker 2: I hate that term, but the reason, I just went
Speaker 2: to an estate sale yesterday, and I scored... A brand
Speaker 2: new Army flight suit.
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: These are over... For $ 15. $ 15. These are overalls that
Speaker 2: are NOMACS, which is a flame retardant material. And they're
Speaker 2: overalls for $ 15. And it fit perfectly. You can find
Speaker 2: power tools... I mean... Hand tools, just anything, anything at
Speaker 2: estate sales. This is what people have accumulated over their lives.
Speaker 2: And these are the people that used to work with
Speaker 2: a saw that you used by hand or a hand drill.
Speaker 2: I actually picked up a hand drill at an estate sale. Now,
Speaker 2: how many people even know what a hand drill is? Okay,
Speaker 2: so estate sales, great place to shop, cheap, and it
Speaker 2: got the stuff that don't require electricity. So there you go.
Speaker 2: Prep on. Hello, everyone out there in internet radio land.
Speaker 2: This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy. My prepper tip
Speaker 2: of the day is you must, must, must look into fasting.
Speaker 2: You must. It does so many good things for your body.
Speaker 2: It's not as hard as a workout. It's definitely not
Speaker 2: as hard as you think it is because what you're
Speaker 2: thinking is, you know, it's all mental. You're talking yourself
Speaker 2: out of it. We have been programmed to believe that
Speaker 2: we need to eat three meals a day and that
Speaker 2: is simply not true. Throughout history, you know, our ancestors
Speaker 2: ate one meal a day if they could. You know,
Speaker 2: maybe three, four times a week they ate something. It
Speaker 2: was not until this overwhelming prosperity hit us. And I'm
Speaker 2: pretty sure that that is where a lot of the
Speaker 2: sicknesses are coming from. That we just plain consume too
Speaker 2: much food. You know, it's like we're in a cage
Speaker 2: and just being force-fed food. try fasting so that you
Speaker 2: know more about your body, how it reacts and, um,
Speaker 2: get the health benefits from it. So my tip is
Speaker 2: look into fasting, make it part of your prepper year. Okay.
Speaker 2: As you plan out what you're going to do with
Speaker 2: your preps, you know, establishing a position and improve upon
Speaker 2: a daily plan that as part of your, uh, Plan
Speaker 2: for your prepper year. That's my prepper tip for the day.
Speaker 2: Take care and prep on. Dave Jones, the NBC guy,
Speaker 2: with your next prepper tip. And that is berries. Berries.
Speaker 2: Do not overlook berries. Here on the mountain, now you
Speaker 2: will have to, you know, for your area, you're going
Speaker 2: to have to figure out what grows wild.
Speaker 1: Easy.
Speaker 8: Easy.
Speaker 2: And for us, it's raspberries. They just go crazy. To
Speaker 2: a lesser extent, blueberries, they need a little more work.
Speaker 2: But raspberries, we can grow raspberries, elderberries, just without even trying.
Speaker 2: They're massively prolific here on the mountains. So figure out
Speaker 2: what grows natural in your area so that you can
Speaker 2: have a food source that you don't have to do
Speaker 2: anything and it will keep growing. And, you know, raspberries, uh, they,
Speaker 2: they give you a vitamin C antioxidants, um, all that
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. So find out what that plant is
Speaker 2: in your area. Uh, get some of it, uh, plant it,
Speaker 2: let it grow, let it multiply, cultivate it, harvest it, um,
Speaker 2: don't go against the grain, so to speak. If you
Speaker 2: have something that doesn't grow in your area, why knock
Speaker 2: yourself out? Get the things that do grow. It's always
Speaker 2: trading material. There's so many things you can do with blueberries.
Speaker 2: You can ferment them. You can distill them. I mean,
Speaker 2: and it makes great trading material. So that's my prepper
Speaker 2: tip Get the berries in your life. Take care and
Speaker 2: prep on. Testing. Yes, testing, testing. One, two, three. No,
Speaker 2: test yourself. Evaluate yourself. You know, if you put stuff
Speaker 2: on the shelf and say, I got that covered. No.
Speaker 2: Test and evaluate yourself, your plans, your equipment. Get it
Speaker 2: out there and use it. A simple test, and I
Speaker 2: think I mentioned this on another tip or somewhere, is...
Speaker 2: throw the electric main, throw the main switch coming into
Speaker 2: your electric panel for the weekend and just see what happens.
Speaker 2: Maybe for a day, you know, a small test. Or
Speaker 2: get that equipment out, unbox it, put it up, see
Speaker 2: how hard it is to assemble. You know, if you
Speaker 2: have a solar panel contraption or something like that, see
Speaker 2: how it hooks up, see what it generates. Stick a
Speaker 2: battery on there, see if it even produces electricity. What
Speaker 2: do you have to do to make the solar panel
Speaker 2: system work? So figure out little tests that you can
Speaker 2: do every so often to see if something works or
Speaker 2: if you can actually do what you think you can do.
Speaker 2: And then honestly evaluate it. Don't make it all sunshine
Speaker 2: and rainbows. Be honest about it. And you'll have a
Speaker 2: better evaluation of the do's and don't do's. The can's
Speaker 2: and can not's. You know, you got to know your limitations.
Speaker 2: Capabilities and limitations. That's what I always say. Know the
Speaker 2: capabilities and limitations first. of your equipment, and your people.
Speaker 2: So testing is very important. Figure out a test, conduct it, evaluate,
Speaker 2: and then adjust from there. Okay, that's my prepper tip.
Speaker 2: Take care and prep on. Hello everyone out there in
Speaker 2: internet radio land. This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy.
Speaker 2: Here's my prepper tip for the day. Sharing. Share with
Speaker 2: other people that you have a prepper homestead lifestyle. You
Speaker 2: never know who you can bring into the fold. And
Speaker 2: I have an example. I talked with the secretary at
Speaker 2: the school I work at and they have a farm
Speaker 2: and and they are, you know, raising cattle. That's all
Speaker 2: they raise for themselves. But he works, she works, and
Speaker 2: they have a farm that they live on, so they,
Speaker 2: you know, have cattle. So they're already halfway there, and
Speaker 2: they're interested in, you know, what we do and how
Speaker 2: we do it. And every chance I get, I tell her,
Speaker 2: a little more about prepping. And I said, it only
Speaker 2: makes sense. And she said, yes. And we talked about
Speaker 2: COVID and how we were able to stay in our
Speaker 2: house for six weeks and not come out because we
Speaker 2: had everything we needed. So share it, you know, in
Speaker 2: your Work at church. A lot of people say, no, no,
Speaker 2: don't tell people what you got. I'm not saying tell
Speaker 2: people what you got. I'm saying the less people that
Speaker 2: aren't prepared, the less people will show up at your door.
Speaker 1: Wait. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's one less person that will show up at your
Speaker 2: door and need help. If they're prepping... If they're doing
Speaker 2: something like, she's raising cattle. I can't raise cattle. In
Speaker 2: a SHTF situation, I know where I can get some cattle.
Speaker 2: And I would trade. You know, it only makes sense.
Speaker 2: Prepperdom needs to expand, not contract. And it's contracting right
Speaker 2: now under Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: But.
Speaker 2: Gosh, you never know who's going to be interested. So
Speaker 2: share your prepping tips, tricks, and techniques. And you may
Speaker 2: have another person in your group. So take care and
Speaker 2: prep on. PBN, hello everyone out there in internet radio land.
Speaker 2: I just did the prepper tip on sharing. Not all
Speaker 2: these tips you're going to agree with, okay? And not
Speaker 2: all tips are created equal, so some tips are more
Speaker 2: valuable than others, but here's a really good one. Know
Speaker 2: where your water shutoff valve is. Know how to shut
Speaker 2: off the water coming into your house and the electricity
Speaker 2: coming into your house, okay? These are some things that
Speaker 2: you should know how to do because they say cold
Speaker 2: weather's coming, and if you have a broken pipe man,
Speaker 2: you sure don't want that situation. So know your water
Speaker 2: shut off, your electric shut off. Know how to shut
Speaker 2: off the things coming into your house. Now, if you don't,
Speaker 2: go out there and find it. Have that key handy.
Speaker 2: If you're on city water, there's a key, and you
Speaker 2: need to have that key, and that key needs to
Speaker 2: be in a particular place so that if anything happens,
Speaker 2: you could shut it. What if the water's contaminated? And,
Speaker 2: you know, they make this announcement, shut the water off
Speaker 2: going into your house, okay, until they figure out the contamination,
Speaker 2: and then turn it back on, let it flow. So
Speaker 2: you need to know where your water and electricity shutoff is.
Speaker 2: That's my prepper tip. Take care and prep on. what
Speaker 2: do you stockpile? What do you keep on hand? What
Speaker 2: do you have more of? Okay, so I'm just going
Speaker 2: to go down through a list just off the top
Speaker 2: of my head. And if you don't have these things,
Speaker 2: maybe you should look into them.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Mouse and rat traps. Rodents are going to be a
Speaker 2: problem in SHTF. And if you don't have a weight
Speaker 2: of take care of that problem. Mouse and rat traps.
Speaker 2: You got to have them. And you can also use
Speaker 2: them for booby traps.
Speaker 1: Salt.
Speaker 2: You need salt. You need tons of salt. You need
Speaker 2: pickling salt, salt to dry meat, uh, cure ham. Uh, you,
Speaker 2: you just need salt, different kinds of salt. Um, honey. If, if, uh,
Speaker 2: Honey can be used as an antibiotic. It can be
Speaker 2: used to make alcohol, you know, mead. Honey never goes bad.
Speaker 2: It never spoils. So honey, you should have honey. Of course,
Speaker 2: everybody knows that we stockpile our ammunition, but have like
Speaker 2: calibers and have calibers that are prolific. The 9mm is
Speaker 2: the most used ammo in the entire world. So if
Speaker 2: you stockpile any ammunition, 9mm. But make sure that you're... Weapons,
Speaker 2: you don't have one 9mm, one. 38, one. 357, whatever.
Speaker 2: Have them all 9mm. You'll at least have some bartering material.
Speaker 2: And of course, if you're putting up food, put up
Speaker 2: different types of food stored differently. You should have frozen food.
Speaker 2: By the way, frozen meat never goes bad. If you
Speaker 2: keep it frozen, it never goes bad. It just gets
Speaker 2: freezer burned. It may taste crappy, but it still has
Speaker 2: the nutrition and all that kind of stuff. So you
Speaker 2: should have frozen food. You should have canned food. You
Speaker 2: should have dried food. And you should have freeze-dried food.
Speaker 2: You know, just a myriad. And everything has a different use.
Speaker 2: It's like having different tools around. for the same thing
Speaker 2: you're going to eat but you you know dried something
Speaker 2: may be better than canned that thing and of course
Speaker 2: freeze-dried food lightest easiest to pack longest shelf life hardest
Speaker 2: and most expensive to get but you should have some
Speaker 2: of each of it and and currency right You should
Speaker 2: have a little, little cash. You just have some cash
Speaker 2: because there's going to be a time period where people
Speaker 2: are only taking cash. And then when that becomes useless,
Speaker 2: then you're going to have to barter. So after, you know,
Speaker 2: some cash on hand and then, you know, silver, gold, whatever.
Speaker 2: What a goldbacks. I love goldbacks. So this is just
Speaker 2: a litany. of things, what to stockpile. And if I
Speaker 2: think of a stockpile too, I'll do that. Take care
Speaker 2: and prep on. I tip a day every day for
Speaker 2: 30 days and somehow I missed the 8th of September.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to put this one up for the 8th.
Speaker 2: And it is things you should stockpile two or one.
Speaker 2: I'm going to do several of these stockpile things because
Speaker 2: I keep forgetting, you know, like Clorox. Okay, you should
Speaker 2: have a supply of Clorox. It does a myriad of things. Also,
Speaker 2: you know, decontaminates for nerve agent and purifies water. You
Speaker 2: can wipe things down if there's a virus. Alcohol, 70%
Speaker 2: or greater. There again, you need alcohol for all different
Speaker 2: types of things. Drugs. And latex gloves. You should have
Speaker 2: a pack or two of latex gloves. Get them cheap
Speaker 2: at Costco. I think $ 20 will get you like 1,600 gloves.
Speaker 2: You can use them for processing game or animals or pets.
Speaker 2: You know, any number of things, but gloves you should have.
Speaker 2: N95 masks, you can get them now. Don't wait till
Speaker 2: the pandemic starts. You need to have N95 masks on
Speaker 2: hand because they are the hospital standard. 95 or 100,
Speaker 2: you decide. Little things like this. And don't forget all
Speaker 2: your non-prescription masks. medicines, and you can get that list
Speaker 2: from PBN Family or Dr. Forgy's Prepper's Medical Handbook. It's awesome.
Speaker 2: So there you go, PBN Family. That is Stockpiling 2.
Speaker 2: Stockpiling 2 or 1. You'll see several stockpilings, okay? Take
Speaker 2: care and prep on. Hello, everyone out there in the
Speaker 2: Internet Radioland. This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy. If
Speaker 2: I sound a little different, it's because my throat's got
Speaker 2: a horse. I was playing all kinds of games and yelling.
Speaker 2: We have at the school, you know, we do what
Speaker 2: they call retreat. Well, this year we didn't retreat to anywhere.
Speaker 2: We just played in the gym, and boy, it was something.
Speaker 2: But my prepper tip of the day is cash. Cash
Speaker 2: is king. At least that's what they say. You need
Speaker 2: to have some cash on hand. Massive power failures, solar storms, whatever.
Speaker 2: If you can't get to the ATM or use your card,
Speaker 2: cash is the only thing that will work. So you
Speaker 2: need to have some cash on hand. How much? Well,
Speaker 2: Dave Ramsey recommends $ 1, 000. He says most problems or emergencies
Speaker 2: that come up, you can handle cash. With $ 1, 000. And,
Speaker 2: you know, you may have to adjust that accordingly to
Speaker 2: inflation or to your income. You know, if you can't
Speaker 2: do $ 1, 000, do $ 100. You know, take $ 20 out a month.
Speaker 2: Five months, you'll have $ 100. And just work on it.
Speaker 2: Keep that cash. Emergency funds only. Not splurging. Not shopping.
Speaker 2: Keep it on hand. for when the lights go out.
Speaker 2: That's the prepper tip of the day.
Speaker 4: Cash.
Speaker 2: Take care and prep on. And your tip today is seeds. Seeds.
Speaker 2: That's right. Only use organic seeds. The normal, the vast
Speaker 2: majority of the seeds have been genetically modified to grow better,
Speaker 2: to resist bugs, um, They will not procreate. So the
Speaker 2: vast majority of the seeds that are out there will
Speaker 2: not benefit you in an SHTF situation. You can't harvest
Speaker 2: the tomato seeds and plant another tomato plant. They will
Speaker 2: not germinate. And another tip, two tips in one. How
Speaker 2: about that? Before you plant your seeds, sprout them. Put
Speaker 2: them in water overnight. It helps guarantee more success. So
Speaker 2: sprout them first. So look into seeds, organic seeds, heirloom seeds.
Speaker 2: Have a stockpile of those. You know, at least two
Speaker 2: seasons worth. of seeds on hand, two seasons, because what
Speaker 2: if one season doesn't do very good, and, and store
Speaker 2: them properly, seeds, that's your prepper tip for the day,
Speaker 2: take care, and prep on. Guy, and I'm gonna bestow
Speaker 2: upon you a technique, a tip, um, That really, really
Speaker 2: is part of my plan.
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: And it's called the mini bug out. The mini bug
Speaker 2: out is when you just can't... There's too many people
Speaker 2: at your front door. And you know that someone.
Speaker 1: Is going to die.
Speaker 2: And it most likely will be you or your family.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 2: The mini bug out is have a place already selected,
Speaker 2: a bug out location. Just don't go somewhere and do something.
Speaker 2: So the mini bug out, go to that place, set up,
Speaker 2: wait until you can reoccupy your house, okay? Because once
Speaker 2: they find everything that they want to find and take,
Speaker 2: you can go back. The thing is, you know where
Speaker 2: your resources are. You know where everything is and how
Speaker 2: everything works. A band of marauders are just looking for
Speaker 2: something to snatch and go to the next place. You
Speaker 2: may even want to set some things obviously out and
Speaker 2: hide the rest of your preps so that when they
Speaker 2: snatch it, They go. So the mini bug out, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe it's a park. Maybe it's just a wooded area,
Speaker 2: you know, with a stream. And it shouldn't be very
Speaker 2: far because chances are you're going to be bugging out.
Speaker 4: At night.
Speaker 2: So how far can you travel at night with your
Speaker 2: family in tow? And they all got their bug out bags.
Speaker 2: So it shouldn't be very far, but far enough away
Speaker 2: that no one's going to follow you. So mine's up
Speaker 2: over the hill and back down the other side. It's about, well,
Speaker 2: a kilometer, but it's through the woods. I know there's
Speaker 2: a water source there. And we have a tent just
Speaker 2: for that purpose. And, you know, maybe not even a tent.
Speaker 2: If you have a hunting blind... You know, they pop up.
Speaker 2: They're very light. They're made for hunters to take into woods.
Speaker 2: There are two tips in one. A hunting blind can
Speaker 2: be a great makeshift tent that you only use for
Speaker 2: a few days until you can get back into your house.
Speaker 2: So there you go. That's the concept. Check it out.
Speaker 2: It may or may not work for you, but the
Speaker 2: mini bug out. Take care and prep on. Obstacles. You
Speaker 2: want to be able to create obstacles for anybody. This
Speaker 2: is part of your security plan. In your security plan,
Speaker 2: there should be obstacles. An obstacle is anything that channels
Speaker 2: people or makes people change their route. These obstacles need
Speaker 2: to look as natural as possible, like a fallen tree,
Speaker 2: an abandoned vehicle, You know, if you had a truck
Speaker 2: that was abandoned and, you know, just burned out maybe,
Speaker 2: but you channel people into an area to get around
Speaker 2: the truck. You know, one side's maybe a cliff and
Speaker 2: the other side, it may be a hill. So you
Speaker 2: put the truck in there sideways so they go, you know,
Speaker 2: around the truck on the hillside. What this does is
Speaker 2: it allows you to be able to detect people because
Speaker 2: you've channeled them in there. That's where you want to
Speaker 2: put whatever alarm signal detection device or that's the place
Speaker 2: where you want to put a sentry, a post, you know,
Speaker 2: someone to watch. You always have to have... uh, in
Speaker 2: the military, we, we used to put the machine guns
Speaker 2: at covering the obstacles because as they go around the
Speaker 2: obstacle and you channel their movement, um, You know, not
Speaker 2: that I have a machine gun or anything.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 2: But you want to be able to control the flow
Speaker 2: of people and you definitely want to put them on foot.
Speaker 2: So whatever the obstacle is has to put them on
Speaker 2: foot to make them walk. And if you make the
Speaker 2: obstacle look natural, it won't stand out in any way
Speaker 2: To alarm someone, hey, there must be something up there
Speaker 2: because there's a drawbridge.
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: So that's my prepper tip of the day. Obstacles. Have
Speaker 2: obstacles in your security plan. Take care and prep on.
Speaker 2: Have a place if you're worried about fallout. Okay? Have
Speaker 2: a place already selected that is the lowest possible furthest
Speaker 2: underground back portion of your house if you have a
Speaker 2: basement if you don't have a basement locate that place
Speaker 2: that is in the exact center of your house okay
Speaker 2: you know this that everything is shielding when it comes
Speaker 2: to radiation everything even air So the further away you
Speaker 2: are from the outside wall, the less radiation you're going
Speaker 2: to get. So if you're ever worried about fallout, have
Speaker 2: this place already identified so that you don't have to think,
Speaker 2: run around like a chicken with your head cut off, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, we're doing some butchering today.
Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2: Keep your butchering supplies all in one tote. So when
Speaker 2: you go to butcher, you have your knives, your sharpeners,
Speaker 2: everything all in one place. You're going to process food,
Speaker 2: whether you're hunting it or growing it. So why not
Speaker 2: have a separate set of knives just for butchering? And
Speaker 2: I do that. And I have it in a bin
Speaker 2: along with the sharpener. So there you go. Two tips
Speaker 2: in one. Identify a place that you can go And
Speaker 2: this is for peace of mind.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: You know that that's the safest place, whether you get
Speaker 2: fallout or not.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: If something happens and you have this overwhelming fear of fallout,
Speaker 2: already have that place identified to take that level of
Speaker 2: stress off your mind. You just say, okay, I'm here.
Speaker 2: I've done all I can to protect myself and my family.
Speaker 2: from radiation and wait. Yeah, I know. How long? Maybe
Speaker 2: that's another tip. Take care and prep on. Okay, I've
Speaker 2: said this many, many times. If you think you may
Speaker 2: get fallout and you have no way of detecting it,
Speaker 2: take a white plate out of your house and Sit
Speaker 2: it far enough away that the house isn't blocking it
Speaker 2: or trees or things like that. Set it in the
Speaker 2: open and wait 24 hours.
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: Go out and check the plate. If there's dark, gritty,
Speaker 2: ash-like stuff on that white plate, that's fallout. Don't confuse
Speaker 2: it with pollen. You know what pollen looks like. It
Speaker 2: always goes over your car. Don't freak out for pollen,
Speaker 2: but this is something that looks like it's been burnt, charred, gritty.
Speaker 2: It's going to be burnt up dirt, okay? So that's
Speaker 2: what it's going to look like. Now, 24 hours, if
Speaker 2: you do not get anything on that plate, you are
Speaker 2: never going to get fallout in your location. So that's
Speaker 2: my tip of the day for fallout. If you're worried
Speaker 2: and you don't have a radiac meter to detect radiation,
Speaker 2: use a white plate and stick it out in the open. Okay,
Speaker 2: so that should alleviate your fears for fallout. Take care
Speaker 2: and prep on. Have a pruning shears, pruning scissors. The
Speaker 2: big two feet long, you know, that cut branches. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's stainless steel. It cuts branches. So you can use
Speaker 2: it to process rabbits, anything. You can use it to
Speaker 2: process deer because it cuts the bones and you don't
Speaker 2: mess up your knife. So just keep one of these.
Speaker 2: They're probably on clearance right now. I think I got
Speaker 2: my last one for $ 13. And man, it is worth
Speaker 2: $ 13 to be able to do that and save the
Speaker 2: edge on your knife for something else. And if you
Speaker 2: have to, for something bigger, a.
Speaker 1: Hatchet.
Speaker 2: A hatchet. Yes. Because sometimes we feed our dogs... pig heads.
Speaker 2: And I hatchet them in half and then cut all
Speaker 2: the meat and everything off the ears. You know, we
Speaker 2: just processed, I think it was 18 rabbits. And this
Speaker 2: is right now we're doing, we finished. And how great
Speaker 2: that was to have those pruning shears to cut the
Speaker 2: necks and the legs, you know, the heads off. The
Speaker 2: heads we also give to the dogs as treats, and
Speaker 2: the legs and the tails. We save the liver, the kidneys,
Speaker 2: and the heart for the dogs. That's all great protein,
Speaker 2: and there you go. That is my tip for the day.
Speaker 2: Pruning scissors. Pruning, yeah, scissors. Take care, and prep on.
Speaker 2: Hello everyone out there in internet radio land. This is
Speaker 2: Dave Jones, the NBC guy, coming to you with another tip.
Speaker 2: 30 tips in 30 days. How do you think this
Speaker 2: is going? Do you think this is something valuable? Or
Speaker 2: am I just wasting my breath? Now, you all voted
Speaker 2: to get me to do this, so I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: you're listening. It's just we never know. PBN never knows.
Speaker 2: And if you're not listening to PBN, I have to say,
Speaker 2: what the flip? I said that the other day in class.
Speaker 2: I said, WTF? And everybody started laughing. And I said,
Speaker 2: that means what the flip, right? Anyway, today's tip is
Speaker 2: magnesium chloride. Fire starters. This is a thing that was
Speaker 2: in the survival kits of downed pilots and things like that.
Speaker 2: Magnesium burns at thousands of degrees. It's very soft. You
Speaker 2: can cut it with your knife. And the idea is,
Speaker 2: on one side of the magnesium fire starter, you can
Speaker 2: shave off some magnesium. Now, just shavings. Okay, the other
Speaker 2: side is a ferrous rod, but it's not very good.
Speaker 2: But I mean, it will work. It will work. It
Speaker 2: will make sparks. The idea is magnesium. I've seen it
Speaker 2: actually set wet leaves on fire. Okay, so if you
Speaker 2: have nothing else but a magnesium fire starter, you know,
Speaker 2: no Bigfoot fur. No fire nuggets, as I call them.
Speaker 2: You can start a fire with a magnesium fire starter
Speaker 2: and twigs, even if they're wet. So that is my
Speaker 2: prepper tip of the day. If you're going to put
Speaker 2: fire starters in everyone's bug out bag, I highly recommend
Speaker 2: the magnesium fire starters. You can get them at Harbor
Speaker 2: Freight for like two bucks. Two dollars, and they're well
Speaker 2: worth every penny. Take care, and prep on. And I
Speaker 2: have another tip for you. Decrease your dependency on electricity.
Speaker 2: I know, it seems like a no-brainer, but really examine
Speaker 2: what is essential, what must function no matter what. and
Speaker 2: determine that everything else is secondary. And when you do that,
Speaker 2: you'll have a good idea of how much electricity you
Speaker 2: need to produce at any one time. So then it
Speaker 2: becomes easier to judge if a solar operation is going
Speaker 2: to be, or a generator, gas generator, propane generator, multi-fuel
Speaker 2: generator is going to fit your needs. And I'm not talking,
Speaker 2: you know, here at the Jones Homestead, we have three refrigerators,
Speaker 2: five freezers. Those are not essential. If everything goes to crap,
Speaker 2: we'll let that food thaw out, smoke it, can it,
Speaker 2: cook it. They are just convenient right now. But if
Speaker 2: the power goes out, you need things like lighting for security,
Speaker 2: detection devices, communication devices, rechargeable batteries. And when you get
Speaker 2: down to the basic level, as a matter of fact,
Speaker 2: my water heater isn't even electric. The water pump is,
Speaker 2: but the water heater is on-demand propane. So, whereas I
Speaker 2: need to have enough electricity for my water pump to operate,
Speaker 2: I also have a hand pump that I haven't put
Speaker 2: in yet, but I'm going to put it in. We
Speaker 2: also have several sources of water here on the mountain. So,
Speaker 2: when I get tired enough of hauling water, I will
Speaker 2: put the hand pump in my well. Laughter So there
Speaker 2: you go, PBN family. My tip is to find out
Speaker 2: what is really essential. What do you really need to power?
Speaker 2: And then everything else is secondary. Take care and prep on.
Speaker 2: You need to have at least one compass per bug
Speaker 2: out bag. And everybody in your group needs to know
Speaker 2: how to use a compass. I highly recommend the Prepper's
Speaker 2: Survival Navigation book. It was written by G-Man. He boils
Speaker 2: down and distills military land navigation in an easy-to-understand manner.
Speaker 2: manual that you could put right in your backpack and
Speaker 2: take it with you and practice anywhere you go. Terrain associate,
Speaker 2: but have a compass and know how to use it.
Speaker 2: At least one. When I was in the army, I
Speaker 2: carried more than one compass just in case my main
Speaker 2: compass got broke. This is before GPS. And if you
Speaker 2: believe in EMP and the SHTF and all that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff, a compass will work when GPS is down.
Speaker 2: A compass still works as long as the Earth has
Speaker 2: a magnetic field. So this, I can't recommend this enough.
Speaker 2: Get you that book. It's like 15 bucks. It'll probably
Speaker 2: be the best land nav book you ever purchase. Easy
Speaker 2: to understand. and get at least one compass per bug
Speaker 2: out bag per person. That's my prepper tip for the day,
Speaker 2: a compass. Take care and prep on. The three knives are,
Speaker 2: whenever you bug out, or you go on an extended
Speaker 2: field exercise, or you just go outside the wire, okay?
Speaker 2: Whenever you're going for a walk movement, You need three knives.
Speaker 2: The first knife is like a small machete. Maybe 24
Speaker 2: to 27, 30 inches long. I highly recommend the cold steel.
Speaker 2: It's 27 inches. Very good steel. I've never had a
Speaker 2: bad cold steel experience, okay? And that is to blaze
Speaker 2: your trail, build your campsite, do whatever heavy lifting you
Speaker 2: got to do with a knife. And then the second
Speaker 2: knife is a medium knife or what most people call
Speaker 2: a camp knife. full tang, fixed blade. I would not
Speaker 2: go with serrations on this one. I would go with
Speaker 2: a thick blade and about four or five inches long,
Speaker 2: full tang. And that right there can double as a
Speaker 2: skinner and it can double as a camp knife. All
Speaker 2: the things you need to do around the campfire. And
Speaker 2: then you need a small knife. maybe three inches, four
Speaker 2: inches at the max, okay, stainless steel, maybe you hang
Speaker 2: it around your neck, this is the knife that you
Speaker 2: can skin with, but it's also very fine, very detailed
Speaker 2: work you would do, it's not something you would beat
Speaker 2: with a rock or an axe or something, you know,
Speaker 2: anything like that, so three knives. You need three knives.
Speaker 2: These are different tools and I do not count the
Speaker 2: knife that is on your multi-tool. Okay, so you should
Speaker 2: not count that. That is an emergency backup knife at best.
Speaker 2: That is a cord cutting knife. Okay, that is not
Speaker 2: a knife that functions in any of these other realms
Speaker 2: that we're talking about. So, That's just an extra backup knife,
Speaker 2: and you should have a multi-tool with you. No matter
Speaker 2: where you go, it answers a multitude of situations. This
Speaker 2: is your bonus tip, okay? There's never been a time
Speaker 2: when I went to the field that I did not
Speaker 2: carry some kind of a snack, some kind of a calorie-producing,
Speaker 2: you know, Um, sometimes it was the peanut butter that
Speaker 2: was in an MRE or the cheese. It's something I
Speaker 2: could squirt in my mouth on the go, get a
Speaker 2: little more energy to get it through to the next meal.
Speaker 2: So you should always be thinking about a snack that
Speaker 2: you can put in your front pocket. I always carried
Speaker 2: it in my front pocket. And in my left pocket,
Speaker 2: I carried a spoon in case I came across something
Speaker 2: that needed a spoon. You think ahead for things like
Speaker 2: that because you don't want to be without food. So
Speaker 2: have a snack on you all the time whenever you
Speaker 2: go outside the wire or even inside the wire. Have
Speaker 2: that snack with you so that you know you have
Speaker 2: X amount of calories if, you know, you just need
Speaker 2: a little boost to get back home. Snacks are important.
Speaker 2: So that is my tip, my extra tip for that
Speaker 2: fantastic email I got from a listener. I won't tell
Speaker 2: you her name, but she's somewhere in the south. And
Speaker 2: I appreciate the email to let me know you're out
Speaker 2: there listening. And if you would send me your address,
Speaker 2: I'll send you something special. So just send me your address.
Speaker 2: We're going to Prepper Camp. It's going to be awesome.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you're looking forward to all the crazy content
Speaker 2: that's going to come out of this. Maria's planning to
Speaker 2: have everybody over to the campsite on Thursday night. And
Speaker 2: hopefully we'll be able to do some recordings. She wants
Speaker 2: to feed everybody. You know, kick it off, start it off.
Speaker 2: And we'll see what goes. We plan to be there
Speaker 2: before the sun goes down on Thursday. And if we
Speaker 2: have good internet, you'll be hearing some stuff even before that.
Speaker 2: So PBN family, thank you, thank you, thank you so
Speaker 2: much for listening. Because if you didn't listen, it'd just
Speaker 2: be me talking in this microphone now. And I know
Speaker 2: you're out there and I know you appreciate it. So
Speaker 2: thank you so much. Take care and prep on.
