WEBVTT

1
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:21.199
<v Speaker 1>It's fine.

2
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 2>What is up TVN family. We are out here in

3
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.239
<v Speaker 2>the uh We are out here in the Kudszoo of

4
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:35.520
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina, and the Kudzuo is baking along with us

5
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 2>here at Preppercamp twenty twenty six. It's a warm one.

6
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:41.240
<v Speaker 2>It's a warm one, but it's the vendors, man, and

7
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.079
<v Speaker 2>we got incredible vendors here. Let me take this toothpick

8
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 2>out of my mouth before you yell at me. Some

9
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 2>walking the grounds at the moment, just getting a look

10
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.920
<v Speaker 2>to see how everything's going. The crowds look great. A

11
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of people here, A lot of people showed up

12
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Prepper Camp twenty twenty six. Man, they came, they came,

13
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 2>they came. We needed them to show up. They showed

14
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>up at the new location at try On. As I mentioned,

15
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 2>I knew this would be something of a high heat

16
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.879
<v Speaker 2>adventure and it is just that. Man, it is just that.

17
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Last night we played History Draw with Dave Jones, the

18
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 2>NBC guy and his crew, and man, was that that

19
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.599
<v Speaker 2>was a fun time. That was That's a game. That's

20
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.560
<v Speaker 2>a game worth having, that's a game worth playing. We

21
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 2>had a blast with it, We really did. We even

22
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.040
<v Speaker 2>it was so good that we wound up recruiting people

23
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.680
<v Speaker 2>who were just you know, on standby. You know, they

24
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.359
<v Speaker 2>were just bystanders, and we we recruited some people in

25
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 2>that situation. It was really awesome. So I was super

26
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.879
<v Speaker 2>excited to get a chance to play that with the

27
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.599
<v Speaker 2>whole crew. It was us the Hathaway's Keith from the

28
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>common Sense Practical Prepper. It was it was about Oh man,

29
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.239
<v Speaker 2>it was a great time. You'll see it before long,

30
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.000
<v Speaker 2>and if you see it, I'd highly recommend you buy

31
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.120
<v Speaker 2>it if you got kids in your life or you know,

32
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you don't even need kids though. To be honest,

33
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 2>we had a blast. We had a blast playing it

34
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 2>just ourselves. So yeah, no, something to consider, definitely something

35
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:24.159
<v Speaker 2>to consider. What what are the takeaways? I don't know.

36
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>I haven't taught my class yet. I haven't done any

37
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 2>cook any classes yet. I've been out of the news

38
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:32.439
<v Speaker 2>for like days. I have no idea what's going to

39
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.439
<v Speaker 2>President could be dead. I wouldn't even know it. It

40
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 2>seems to be a consistent theme. You know, where is he?

41
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:40.680
<v Speaker 2>What do they have to sneak him out in today?

42
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:46.599
<v Speaker 2>But the yet location is beautiful. Man, It's definitely a

43
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 2>battle against mother nature as per usual. But we've come

44
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>equipped and we're prepared and it's a good thing. Oh

45
00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>there goes a little bass. There are bass in this pond. Okay, huh,

46
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 2>not bad so, PBN family. Uh. I got some video

47
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.199
<v Speaker 2>this morning. I'll probably have some video later. I went

48
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 2>and talked to all the vendors, a lot of great vendors,

49
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of recurring vendors, you know, people we see

50
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.919
<v Speaker 2>every year. There is something to an event out in

51
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:22.240
<v Speaker 2>the wilderness and in the mountains.

52
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:22.439
<v Speaker 1>Though.

53
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>That's nice, it's a nice thing. We're all hoping for

54
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 2>rain a little bit, but also not hoping for rain

55
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.439
<v Speaker 2>because we don't want to deal with the booths getting

56
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 2>wet and that whole thing. That kind of can be

57
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 2>a pain. As you can imagine, the coffee sales are

58
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 2>about wrapped up for the day because it feels like

59
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 2>it's i'd say it's got to be close to ninety already,

60
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>so you know, the disaster coffee side of the business

61
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.479
<v Speaker 2>is slowing down. Oh yeah, look at these bass. We

62
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.000
<v Speaker 2>got a little school of bass right here. Sorry, the

63
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.759
<v Speaker 2>fishermen in me is distracted by what's in the pond.

64
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:10.599
<v Speaker 2>It looks like a good time tonight, I intend on

65
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>entering into solitude a bit. In all honesty, I think

66
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:16.439
<v Speaker 2>once I wrap up my class, I'll probably shut things

67
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 2>down and head back for a quiet evening. You know,

68
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 2>you start to figure out the things that are rare,

69
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.560
<v Speaker 2>the rarities of life, if you can take advantage of them,

70
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 2>take advantage of them. Saturday night we do our big

71
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Prepper camp party, awards, ceremony, all that kind of stuff,

72
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:40.959
<v Speaker 2>and it is largely a party, So take the advantage hydrate.

73
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, this is where things like liquid IV are

74
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:50.720
<v Speaker 2>so effective. I mean, just you can't measure the importance

75
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:53.160
<v Speaker 2>of something like a like an electra like drink in

76
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.279
<v Speaker 2>a day like this, you know, particularly if you're at

77
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 2>it all day. It's just a different thing, man. I Mean,

78
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.959
<v Speaker 2>it's just a you're you're dealing with a different sort

79
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.600
<v Speaker 2>of situation when it comes to the amount of sweat

80
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.120
<v Speaker 2>that you're losing, the amount of heat that your body's

81
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:12.800
<v Speaker 2>dealing with. Right, It's it's akin to the Appalachian Trail

82
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:14.959
<v Speaker 2>hike that the breaker. Oh look at that baby bass,

83
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, he's tiny. He's food been the break

84
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>of the Banksters and I did a break neck twelve

85
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 2>was it? Twelve mile or six twelve mile twelve mile, yeah,

86
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.279
<v Speaker 2>twelve mile hike through the Appalachian Trail around this time,

87
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.160
<v Speaker 2>but overnight in the dark, and it was a mock

88
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 2>bug out from his location to Dave Jones's location and

89
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.800
<v Speaker 2>the physical We did it from about I think it

90
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.279
<v Speaker 2>was about well, it was summer, so it was probably

91
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:54.879
<v Speaker 2>about nine six hours. After nine. Yeah, we did twelve

92
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:55.920
<v Speaker 2>miles and six hours.

93
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:56.240
<v Speaker 1>That was.

94
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.720
<v Speaker 2>That was pretty good considering we were going up a mountain,

95
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:00.439
<v Speaker 2>down a mountain, and back up a mountain and again.

96
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 2>But I just you know, I know the value of

97
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 2>the electro lights right from working out in the heat

98
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.759
<v Speaker 2>like this, but I I never really I don't work

99
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 2>out with other people very often. So what happened is

100
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 2>as we broke into our electrolight powders, the whole morale

101
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>of the situation changed, you know what I mean. It

102
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:27.040
<v Speaker 2>was very clear. It was like the whole morale of

103
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 2>the situation changed and all of a sudden boom, like

104
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.160
<v Speaker 2>we hit a wall. Not a wall, I mean, we rolled.

105
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.560
<v Speaker 2>We rolled the whole thing, despite this being covered in sweat,

106
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:42.000
<v Speaker 2>but we rolled the whole thing. And and I'd say

107
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.160
<v Speaker 2>it was probably about an hour to two hours left,

108
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.319
<v Speaker 2>and we kind of bonked a little bit, you know,

109
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean we were getting like tired and slowing down

110
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 2>a little, and we stopped by a creek and shook

111
00:06:54.319 --> 00:07:00.160
<v Speaker 2>up some liquid IV into our water bottles, and it

112
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.560
<v Speaker 2>was just instant, man, it was. It was clear that

113
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:07.240
<v Speaker 2>the body was turning down, like your capacity to keep pace.

114
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.839
<v Speaker 2>It was naturally turning that down, you know, even to

115
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>the point where, like willing yourself to the highest level,

116
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:15.800
<v Speaker 2>you're still kind of less than what you were when

117
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.720
<v Speaker 2>you started. And as soon as we got that electro

118
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:20.879
<v Speaker 2>like mix in us, it was boom right back, right

119
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:27.519
<v Speaker 2>back in action. So sometimes those little preps, man, are

120
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 2>the ones that make all the difference. Sometimes those little

121
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.560
<v Speaker 2>preps just really make the whole difference of the whole situation.

122
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean it really more. I'll be honest with you.

123
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 2>You know, when it comes to prepping, it's like you

124
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.279
<v Speaker 2>think that you need a lot of gear, right, I

125
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.360
<v Speaker 2>need this in case this happens, this in case that happens,

126
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.240
<v Speaker 2>this in case that happens. When I have used my

127
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:55.639
<v Speaker 2>preps has almost always been like the preps that have

128
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.480
<v Speaker 2>stood out most to me in my career doing this

129
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.959
<v Speaker 2>have always been a single thing at the right time

130
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.240
<v Speaker 2>when you needed it most, you know, and it really

131
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.600
<v Speaker 2>changes the game. The bass are feeding on the minnows

132
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.839
<v Speaker 2>right here. They can't see me. I could just sit

133
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.319
<v Speaker 2>here and watch them. Dude, I would catch these fish

134
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.319
<v Speaker 2>like crazy. I didn't even bring my well. I don't

135
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:20.000
<v Speaker 2>think I want to be really sweating it out fishing,

136
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:25.160
<v Speaker 2>simultaneously running a booth, simultaneously preparing for everything else that

137
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.800
<v Speaker 2>we got going on. But all right, PBM, family, stay hydrated.

138
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.279
<v Speaker 2>I will. I'll check back in with you, don't you worry.

139
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Talk to you soon.
