HE LIVES!!!!

[00:00:02] Good day PBN family. You have forced my hand here on this, uh, I guess what you can call the Orion Liberty show for today. Most of the time I don't talk about vacation but what

[00:00:35] has happened until vacation is over but what has happened is the healing from the infection has backed into vacation and has left many of you out there wondering if the Intrepid Commander is alive, doing well, dying slowly and miserably and painfully,

[00:00:52] should they send cards, should they make arrangements and so forth. Now I was falling off from the infection before heading off on vacation and now that I'm on vacation I've missed a couple shows, no daily news in the morning,

[00:01:14] I didn't even put a Preppers Live up because Monday I was actually in bed the whole day and night and afternoon and evening. Monday was my true rest and recovery day and turned out that's what my body needed more than any

[00:01:28] medicine at all, it's just a full day to rest and that you know that was it. I mean from from then on I've been feeling great, definitely not clinging on for dear life okay. So you guys typically I don't talk about

[00:01:45] vacation till vacation is over, this is an operational security maxim, you know what I mean? The idea that hey I'm leaving my home, hey I'm in another place, hey things are very different. Sorry my sister's texting me pictures right now. Usually I don't talk about that stuff

[00:02:07] until I'm back and it's over and then I let you guys know hey I went on vacation last week. Nobody really questions things but because we've backed into it with the infection it starts to feel like the commander's

[00:02:26] fading into the abyss, you know what's really happening here. So all is well and thank you guys all of you out there who did reach out. I mean I don't want the rest of you to think that just because I'm sick it's your duty or

[00:02:43] something like that but this show right here is a direct result of those of for those of you who reached out. So you know like a lot of people reached out through numerous avenues because what it looked like to them

[00:03:01] because I don't share information about my vacations is you know the commander is sick and it's getting worse. I haven't heard from him in days so people have reached out you know how you doing? Are you alive over there?

[00:03:22] What the hell is going on? Where's all the, where's preppers live? Where's PBN Daily News? Something must be really wrong. What do you need? Do you need shaga and reishi mushrooms? What the... Wonderful you know wonderful group of

[00:03:39] people here at PBN. Absolutely astounding to me that I have anything to do with you guys really fundamentally. So I'm down here on the You know the curtain is up. The operational security is bust so there's

[00:04:02] no point in playing around anymore. We're down here on the strand. It's a magical place for me. It's a thought-provoking place. It's a very strange place to wind up when you're a person like me because I grew up

[00:04:24] just north, six blocks north of DeBouchery Street. DeBouchery Street also known as Second Street in Marcus, Pennsylvania was home to a bar that was visited often by Blackbeard the Pirate and he had a girlfriend who

[00:04:50] lived across the way from Second Street as well and that is a, that home is still largely the way it was all those years ago and it's been you know now made into a memorial fundamentally. It's called the Plank House down there in

[00:05:06] Hook and Blackbeard has been a big, he's always like a big part of growing up down there and the questions about his treasure and all this kind of stuff and there's even a church down there, St. Cat, I can't

[00:05:22] remember what the church is called, St. Thomas's and the church down there had this little plastic plexiglass window that allowed you to look down into a tunnel that was supposedly dug out by Blackbeard also and you know

[00:05:41] there are rumors about treasures down there and so on and when you're a kid, you know your little kid, you could walk into this cemetery and freak yourself out, talk about ghosts and goblins and pirates and for those of you

[00:05:56] who have read Christmas Hook you know that that tunnel plays a very important role in the main character's final nightmare in The Christmas Hook but what's magical about a place like this for me is you know we had no

[00:06:12] aspirations growing up, my wife and I, we had no real aspirations about like we want to you know have a family and wind up vacationing down in the Outer Banks. It wasn't really a motivation of ours, just sort of started

[00:06:30] happening and that's when I found out about the history of Blackbeard and Oak of Croke Island and the museum down here and I don't know you know how everything in life is cyclical like that. You find yourself in

[00:06:45] these situations where you're like oh these wires from a different time and a different point in life are connecting and it's just is what it is you know there were always things, you know there's fishing, there are all

[00:07:00] these things down here that I don't know they just seem to be part of that cycle you know and I don't know you know the the Sun rises on the beach and the Sun sets and all that kind of stuff the end of days and the salty

[00:07:21] breeze they give way to other memories from other times and other shores in my life and I don't know how you guys feel when you go on vacation. This traveling vacations thing, this was not a part of my

[00:07:41] life until I was an adult like my family we didn't go on traveling vacations we weren't like well schools out it's time for vacation you know what I mean it's a very weird thing so whenever I'm out here

[00:08:01] especially when we're doing things that are rare or just out on the beach I'm always it's not a one-time thing it's a constant thing I'm always looking around and looking at my sons and they're having a blast and I'm always

[00:08:17] like man what what a life it has been thus far you know what a life it has been the gratitude for all this stuff it's tremendous it's tremendous this is a it's an amazing place down here but man oh man was it rough getting

[00:08:39] here I tell you that much it felt like things weren't gonna work out for me like things weren't gonna gonna come together felt like we might be tapping out or I might be spending time more time at home than anywhere else but then

[00:09:00] the healthy body came roaring back you know now not without medicine not without antibiotics not without the help of Tylenol and elderberry and all kinds of immune enhancing you know remedies and stuff like it took a lot

[00:09:21] it took a lot because I wasn't resting so we'll keep that in your back pocket put that in your medical kit one of the reasons I love the Jones's infirmary the Jones's at their homestead have a have a sort of

[00:09:40] deployable infirmary setup in their home and one of the things I favor most about that is just the concept of the rest and recovery and the capability to pull that off in one place and the short distance between that place and

[00:09:56] the bathroom and you know the layout of it is really smart done really well because the sleep the ability to get sleep these things are paramount you know in recovery this is why powerful pain and fever reducers are so

[00:10:17] important like one of the things that you can stock up on for dirt cheap is you know doses upon doses of ibuprofen giant bottles pills and I'll tell you right now man when it comes down to rest and recovery that's what you need

[00:10:39] and I know there's like a there's a movement to not fight the fever you know let the fever work and all that kind of stuff fever will kill your ass first of all so that I mean people just die from fever all the time so fever

[00:10:56] will kill your ass I mean there is something to be said about the you know letting the fever work a little bit but if the fever is what's keeping you up at night if the fever is compromising your rest and recovery

[00:11:06] then it ain't helping you know you need your sleep you need your rest and recovery it really all at the tail end of this thing it really all came down to rest recovery hydration and and the antibiotic you know that's really what

[00:11:26] it came down to it came down to don't get your stupid ass out of bed bring a bottle of water to bed liquid IV elderberry lozenge when the fever starts coming back take two ibuprofen just forget about the fever altogether

[00:11:45] there's no more discomfort yeah I had fever for days you know what I mean and then I just cut it off completely no more fever it's all about comfort it's all about sleep it's all about rest and recovery put a good movie on

[00:11:59] fall asleep in and out of sleep rest the good thing for me was I never lost my appetite I ate all the whole way so that was big that was big you know vacation particularly if you don't fly is a tremendous time for you to practice

[00:12:22] your vehicle preparedness or to or to heighten your vehicle preparedness or to hone your vehicle preparedness or change your vehicle preparedness you know one of the things we've learned to do with my little truck even is how to

[00:12:39] travel many bicycles you know how to travel many means of what that becomes is an alternate means of transportation right in other words if you can travel bicycles with your vehicle and then your vehicle dies or is

[00:12:59] compromised in some way now you have another mode of transportation for us us down here it's a leisure right it's entertainment it's something to do get everybody on bikes you know there's a gang of us we all get on bikes and

[00:13:17] sometimes we bike the ice cream or whatever you know something like that but it's good to test the might of your vehicle your ability to pack that vehicle out and all those things you know and see what you're really capable

[00:13:34] of goes a long way makes a big difference when you understand what your vehicle is capable of what kind of medical do you want to travel with on that trip what types of armaments both concealed and in the open do you

[00:13:50] want to travel with in that vehicle you know your daily to and fro might look a little different than your vacation might still be prepared but it might look a little different than your vacation prep right fundamentally the

[00:14:14] get-home is what vacation prep is all about right like if you had to boil it down when you prep in vacation for vacation whatever the situation is the get-home process to get home weaponry they get home you know vehicle prep

[00:14:36] to keep the vehicle running all that kind of stuff that becomes mission number one things go crazy it's time to get back home what do we have to do to get back home for us it's very important to focus on this at a

[00:14:48] place like the outer banks because you know you're a couple bridges there's a couple bridges between you and home that if something happens to them you were you're a citizen of the outer banks now and I give a lot of thought

[00:15:05] to that too when we're down here don't get me wrong you know serious issues to address not the least of which being water in a situation like that so those things become a reality on vacation as well right you got to

[00:15:24] figure out what that all looks like what's it look like if you be suddenly become short-term mid-range maybe even a long-term citizen of place your vacationing and it can happen a lot quicker than you think

[00:15:41] you know we often run ourselves through the EMP process what happens if we get struck with an EMP and I'm at home and the weather's nice out and my house is full of food and so on but what happens if you're three days into a

[00:16:02] vacation and that EMP hits and you're in the Costa Rica you're on a Bahamian Island right you're on Hawaii you're a citizen now you know if you've airplaneed to your destination and there's only one way in one way out

[00:16:21] type of thing like that island well you just you're a citizen now you might not have the documentation but that's what you are so you just got you know you got to understand that recognize those things and prepare for

[00:16:37] them you know I'd say in most cases when we're on vacation one of the first things we're gonna have to think about is water you know because many people are sure many people are island many people are in those sort of

[00:16:55] situations environments that are dominated by the presence of salt water the wind the wind kicking up PBN family what can I say it's a beautiful week thus far it's gonna probably rain as a beautiful week I think we hit the

[00:17:23] jackpot this week in terms of you know temperature and cloud cover and such now I'm going into some serious wind I don't know how disruptive that is but I did want to get with you guys and give you an update let you know

[00:17:45] it's gonna take a lot more than a spider to take me out don't worry about that and the reason things have been a little slow on the output for me has nothing to do with me healing anymore has everything to do with me

[00:18:01] enjoying my family for a week and as I said as the week goes on expect an uptick in how much you hear from me I can only take so much rest and relaxation before I'm chomping at the bit to produce it's what I love you
