DAC - Craving Shotgun!?

[00:00:00] A person who advocates and practices preparedness, one ready for any event that would disrupt their daily routine. That is a Prepper. Hello all you preppers out there on internet, Radio Land. This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy. How are you doing on this wonderful Saturday?

[00:00:43] It's wonderful because we're done for a while processing turkeys and man. We did three geese and ten turkeys in two days and thank the Lord, the weather was good. Not a lot of humidity. It was really, really nice and it went very smooth.

[00:01:12] Now you know why I have three refrigerators and five freezers. Imagine putting ten turkeys and three geese in your family fridge because once you do the thing and process them and get them all, you've got to refrigerate them for a while. That's what we're doing.

[00:01:42] As a matter of fact, since Alex moved out, we're going to use his little apartment fridge. Yeah, we're going to be smoking some turkey. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, I built a smoker last year and it does not get used enough.

[00:02:04] Out of a sheet of plywood and some four by fours for legs, it's four feet tall, two feet by two feet because there was one sheet of plywood and I cut it up. Maybe I should put plans on. I even lined it with cedar.

[00:02:27] You know that cedar interlocking stuff that you put inside closets. I lined it with that so that it wouldn't have any kind of plywood like facing the meat and put some hooks in there.

[00:02:48] The way I make the smoke is I have a very small wood stove that's just for outdoor use. I got this on clearance. It was like a hundred bucks a couple years ago.

[00:03:03] We were going to try and heat the greenhouse in the winter with this thing and it would consume more wood than we'd be able to. So that idea went out the window but I had this little box, this metal box of a wood stove.

[00:03:22] So I could put some charcoal on the bottom of it and then my smoking wood if I want to do hickory, apple or mesquite or whatever I want to smoke it with on top of the charcoals.

[00:03:38] And then I just light the charcoals up and the smoke goes through the box and out the top. And it works really well. When I first made it, we smoked a bunch of stuff in it just to experiment and see if it's going to work.

[00:04:00] Maria was getting upset with me because I have a smoker, one of those what do they call egg things. It's the cheap version of Smokin Joe I think it's called. I don't know. I got it on special. I'm all about the deals.

[00:04:22] Anyway three or four years ago and it was a Christmas deal or Black Friday I don't know. But it's too hot, it's too hot. It kind of turns everything into jerky unintentionally. It's smoked flavor but there's a level of heat there that I can't eliminate.

[00:04:53] And now this new smoker just smokes them and I mean it does a great job. We smoked some sausage, she made some sausage we hung it in there. You'd be surprised what you can do with very little with just hey I think I'll make something out of nothing.

[00:05:20] Yeah, but that's not why I'm doing this daily audio cash. Oh my gosh. People! People people people! Was that on McClintock? I love John Wayne and I know Sarah Hathaway loves John Wayne too but he had a guy on there

[00:05:43] and he would go people people people to get the attention, get everybody's attention. Anyway, I have had an insatiable insatiable craving for shotgun. I mentioned this before. I don't know why this is. My inclination when these things happen I just go with it.

[00:06:17] Okay so I picked up another hundred rounds of shotgun shells at Walmart for $76 if you want to get cheap inexpensive loads for a 12 gauge shotgun. There you go. This right here is the Rotgut Whiskey Trading Material. Okay when the grid goes down everybody has a 12 gauge.

[00:06:49] It's the most common shotgun round. This is 20 gauge. Same amount of shot just a different pattern. Okay, 20 gauge is more like birds and skeet and things like that. 12 gauge is more like a flat out spread. Where's Dain D on this?

[00:07:16] Dain D tell us the difference between a 12 gauge and a 20 gauge shotgun. Come on man. Get on PBN. We need you. I am getting ready for my afternoon nap and the warden does not know I'm not napping yet.

[00:07:40] I have instituted this policy of afternoon naps and it's working out pretty good because she gets a little break from me and I get a whole lot of break from her. I'm just saying. And did you hear Phoenix Survival the blue screen of death? Oh my gosh.

[00:08:08] Jay Ferg has a bunch of people tune in to her. Saturday morning, Saturday morning. What are they doing that they can get up Saturday morning and listen live to Jay Ferg? I don't know. They must be preppers. They must be.

[00:08:29] So if you can help Jay Ferg out with getting one of these pouches, I got one of her foraging bags. Now, okay, full disclosure. Okay, I was experimenting with it and I found it to be small for what I'm foraging. Okay.

[00:08:54] And we gifted it to our neighbor who loves it, loves absolutely loves it. They watch our animals when we go on vacation and this was a gift to them. We used it a few times and found it to be small and but she has many iterations.

[00:09:23] The thing is, think about Jay Ferg. She will custom make you a pouch or a bag. So you get if you want a pouch or a bag, you got to get a hold of her and she'll fix it up and set it right out.

[00:09:40] I mean, this is unbelievable. And I think it's therapy for her and it's a bag for you. So there you go. And Jay Ferg if you're listening, I can't wait for the feminine product review. I just cannot wait for that. That right there. But wow, piqued my interest.

[00:10:13] Joking, joking. Okay, so I'm going to sign off here. I don't know why I'm craving shotgun shells and shotguns. I want a double-bar shotgun. I don't know why. It's probably the most impractical weapon you can have. I just want one. Have no idea.

[00:10:42] No, maybe it's a past life thing. I don't know. But I mentioned Sarah Hathaway. She's coming up tomorrow night. Changing Earth, changing Earth. Oh, oh, I don't know if I'm allowed to say it. But there's a binge. There is a binge episode, a binge weekend that's coming up.

[00:11:10] I'm going to let her explain. But if you did voices for Sarah Hathaway and you are a character in her audio drama, it's time to stand up. It's time to be counted. And she'll tell you all about that. I don't know which voice I'll do.

[00:11:37] Oh, I'm working on a new one. It's a new character. And she said he's going to be around for a while. So I don't know. I got to work. It's a Viking. And I have been thinking about this voice. Maybe not so close to the mic.

[00:11:59] I'm not sure. But I open my throat and inhale. Anyway, I'm working on it. It's a work in progress. What can I say? I hope you like these daily audio caches. You know, if nothing else, they're entertaining. I try to be informative and entertaining. So there you go.

[00:12:31] Maybe I should do a video on how I built the smoker or explain how to one sheet of plywood. Yeah, one sheet of plywood and a four by four for the legs. And then I lined the inside with that cedar, interlocking tongue and groove cedar lining

[00:12:59] that you put inside of a closet. And it was, you know, I used the nail gun and bang, bang, bang. It was together. And it's two feet by two feet by four feet. It's a nice, nice smoker.

[00:13:16] And really, if you don't have one of these little box wood stoves, things, metal woods, you could put any kind of smoke in this thing, in the box. So you can make a fire and funnel the smoke into the box. Yeah. Listen, I'm going to post this.

[00:13:46] I'm not sure if it'll get any listens, but you take care. Hey, and if you want to email me, there is a listener out there that wants my sticks. He hasn't emailed me back yet. Memory sticks. Anyway, my email address is NBCGuyatprotonmail.com.

[00:14:11] And my website is NBCGuy.com. So if you want to go check out my website, there's stuff on there. Yeah, NBCGuy.com. Take care and prep on.
