DAC - Creating Your Preps

[00:00:16] to oppose tyranny and fight for the rights our Creator bestowed us in the United States Constitution. We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network.

[00:00:47] Getting that garden ready. What do you do? I think I'm going to come on here every Sunday if I don't do it in between, at least while I'm still in school, and do a little quick daily audio cache, what we used to call them. And then, you know, in the summertime maybe do something else like my own podcast and

[00:01:17] that. I think if I take the time and figure out Rumble, and what are they using now? The guys are using that StreamYard. I think I can do the prepping up with the Joneses. So stay tuned. That's one of my goals for summer break.

[00:01:42] Another one of my goals is to have a completed manuscript ready to turn into a publisher on the four crazy years of my life that happened after 9-11. 7-11.

[00:02:07] It's a whole bunch of crazy, funny, unbelievable stuff separated by sheer terror. So stay tuned. Stay tuned for that. We'll see. Sometimes my goal is to get, you know, pushed by the wayside by prepping stuff. Speaking of prepping stuff, I finally finished.

[00:02:36] Finally finished the aviary. I did a short, brief, little one minute video on it. Here's my prepper tip. If you have to do anything with concrete or masonry blocks or anything like that, use Tapcon screws. Yes, they're quite a bit more expensive, but you don't have to put any anchors in the cement

[00:03:06] and they hold better. So that's my tip. Tapcon. Check it out. So I put two sheets of plywood on the wall of my house and it's concrete. So I put the sheets of plywood up, painted them on both sides with waterproof deck paint, you know, really good substantial paint.

[00:03:33] And then I tapcon them on the wall. That way I can hang boxes or anything I want, you know, roosts on the back wall. And I use that one wall for the aviary. And most of the supplies for the aviary we already had.

[00:04:00] Some of it we went out and bought like the pressure treated 4x4s. And we changed the design several times. As you go, you have an idea and then you start thinking it through. And so now the door's on the side instead of the front. And different reasons why we changed that. But it's nice. Got the metal roof.

[00:04:30] I like using the metal roofing because basically you just secure it into 2x4s and poof, you're done. And they have little rubber grommets on the end of their self-tapping screws. So basically all you got to do is make sure you hit the 2x4. Which I have not done a couple times and it leaves a hole in your metal roof.

[00:04:59] Anyway, I guess that's the long and short of it. We're still prepping on here. I mentioned last time we were freeze drying. And we got this freeze dryer. I know freeze dryers are... Dude, you don't have to tell me. I know. They're way, way up on my prepper list. And it wasn't until we had a scratch and dent sale. And had some extra cash.

[00:05:30] That we decided... And this was over a year ago. It took me about a year to get the Dern thing upstairs and plugged in and turned on. But for the... Just over winter, we've been freeze drying. And it wasn't a plan. Just when we got something, we're going to freeze dry it. We just threw it in there and freeze dry it. And mostly eggs because we have so many eggs. And now we do sell eggs and we have more customers now than we've ever had.

[00:06:00] Thanks to Joe Biden. We got all these little batches of eggs and started counting them. Now each packet is a dozen eggs. One tray will fit a dozen eggs. So we have a thousand, twenty eggs freeze dried in packets. A thousand and twenty.

[00:06:30] And we put them in one of those black bins. And they're light. It's very... A thousand eggs. That's enough to keep three people in eggs for a year. And we were surprised, shocked. We just were curious. And you know, the little packets, we don't have them stored. We've just been putting them on the shelf. And you know, they're kind of unruly.

[00:07:00] They just fall off. And so we said, look, let's put them in this bin and count them when we put them in there. And now that's just this winter. Just since, what, October, November, something like that. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Now Maria is getting very inspired. And she wants to just go through all our prepper stuff that we have.

[00:07:28] Like the beans and the rice and all that kind of stuff. And cook it. And then freeze dry it. So, we'll see. Freeze drying is not for everybody. Freeze dryer. Now I do recommend that you have freeze dried stuff. You know, you don't have to necessarily have your own freeze dryer to do that.

[00:07:54] Also, once you have a good amount of preps on the shelf, start looking at things that you can actually create. You know, James talks about hammer talk all the time. And that's basically a skill to fabricate things out of metal.

[00:08:12] And if you can make things, if you can make your barter material, then you're, then, then you will be on the next level of prepping. So, think about that. If you can make your prepping trading material, like if you can make bullets, if you can reload bullets.

[00:08:41] Yeah, yeah, there's, there's a supply thing there. If you can make alcohol, if you can make wine. I'm thinking of things that people trade a lot of. And, you know, then you're at the next level of prepping because everybody has stuff that they store. I hate saying hoard, but stuff that they store in a certain amount.

[00:09:09] Well, and specifically for trading. Well, when that runs out, how are you going to get more? So, if you can make, or if you have skills that can easily be bartered for, that's, that's when you're on the next level of prepping. Wow, so there's, there's all my prepper tips for the day. Less than 10 minutes. Take care everybody out there in radio listening land.

[00:09:38] And prep on!
