[00:00:01] [SPEAKER_02]: A person who advocates some practices preparedness.
[00:00:24] [SPEAKER_02]: One ready for any event that would disrupt their daily routine.
[00:00:28] [SPEAKER_02]: That is a Prepper.
[00:00:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Hello everyone out there on internet Radio Land.
[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_01]: This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy, and I had to do a daily audio cache tonight
[00:00:38] [SPEAKER_01]: because I am so excited.
[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm so excited and I just can't hide it.
[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm about to lose control when I think I like it.
[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Remember the pointer sisters?
[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was the pointer sisters, right?
[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, you're going to hear a lot from me this weekend.
[00:01:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And we are doing, oh man, the first ever winter exercise
[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_01]: and we're doing it as a competition between three preppers
[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_01]: and then the breaker of banksters, probably the youngest of the three preppers competing.
[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_01]: The intrepid commander with hours and hours of experience in the field
[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_01]: fishing, hunting, hiking, backpacking and just playing campin' out
[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_01]: and then there's Future Dan, former Army Airborne Ranger
[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_01]: and they are going to go out in the cold and the snow
[00:01:50] [SPEAKER_01]: and I'm also excited for the forecast because let's see.
[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Friday night it's 100% chance of heavy snow.
[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Two to four inches and the exercise goes Saturday.
[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_01]: It starts Saturday at 6 p.m.
[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_01]: But before that, there's going to be a whole bunch of preparation and competition.
[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so this is to simulate trying to get out of an urban area
[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_01]: and get to a prepper commune.
[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Then let's see, Saturday the high temperature is going to be 36
[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_01]: and Saturday night 22 degrees.
[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_01]: So they're going to spend the night out in 22 degree weather
[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_01]: with only the things I pack in boxes about the size of shoeboxes.
[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, each one of them is going to walk a route
[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_01]: and it's about eight kilometers this route.
[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_01]: In urban terrain they're going to stop at three locations, pick up three caches.
[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Each one is going to pick up three caches and in those caches
[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_01]: and they're also going to forage on their own like if they come across a dumpster
[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_01]: and you know, at a construction site with a dumpster or whatever.
[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_01]: They can dumpster dive.
[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_01]: They can pull out trash.
[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be just fascinating to hear everything that goes on
[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_01]: and then I'm going to put the place the boxes.
[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to be at the, okay, the baseline.
[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_01]: The baseline is they're all going to have regular clothes on.
[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Good boots, good socks, a multi-tool.
[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, and that's it.
[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_01]: No coat, no hat, no gloves.
[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_01]: They each get $25 to go into a thrift store
[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_01]: and outfit themselves with whatever they think they can need
[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_01]: and wear and use and it's not just limited to clothes
[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_01]: but boy I'd be getting a coat for sure.
[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I would be getting a coat.
[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_01]: There's going to be pictures up on the website so stay tuned.
[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_01]: This is going to be the weekend exercise called Gotham Get Out
[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_01]: and they have promised me tonight that they will not listen to any of my broadcasts
[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_01]: because Maria and I are going to finish packing up the boxes
[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_01]: and we're going to talk about the things that we're putting in the box
[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_01]: and why we're putting them in the box.
[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Now, they're going to be able to start a fire.
[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_01]: They're going to be able to boil water.
[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_01]: They're going to have some protection, shelter, protection
[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_01]: and they're going to have some way to purify water.
[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_01]: So the basic survival type skills
[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_01]: and let's see if they pick up on some things because some will be obvious
[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_01]: some will not be so obvious
[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_01]: and then they get evaluated
[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_01]: if they took the item
[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_01]: if they saw the value in the item and they took it
[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_01]: secondly, if they fashioned it into the thing that they needed to fashion into
[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_01]: and thirdly, if they actually used it
[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_01]: so it's like a three point per item scale
[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_01]: whoever gets the most points wins that round
[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_01]: and trust me, that's round one.
[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_01]: That is round one.
[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh, I think we're going to have three rounds.
[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I think we're going to have three rounds.
[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe we'll do the thrift store as one round.
[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll do the bug out as the second round
[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_01]: and then they're going to have a team exercise
[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_01]: at the Jones homestead
[00:06:56] [SPEAKER_01]: and they're going to be evaluated on that
[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_01]: on their teamwork, participation, all that.
[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_01]: So there you go, PVN family.
[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_01]: You're in for a wild, wild weekend of prepper entertainment.
[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Stay tuned.
[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_01]: This is the kickoff
[00:07:19] [SPEAKER_01]: and you'll hear all about it all weekend long.
[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Take care and prep on.
