How to Food Storage

[00:00:03] You're listening here to PBN. You will pay off back the stability here.

[00:00:33] Welcome in PBN family. How to Food Storage is the name of the game today, but we do have breaking news, pretty wild breaking news that has led to a subtopic of today's show that will kind of play into what it is we're going to talk about with food storage, but it is nonetheless severe. And let's do it.

[00:01:01] Israel launches massive strikes on Gaza. Israel's got their motivations. Hamas has their motivations. It seems like the more I understand about this part of the world, the less I understand about this part of the world and what's going on. It's really I've been I've been paying attention to it, but it's seemingly come out of nowhere. You know, it's seemingly come out of nowhere. To some degree, right?

[00:01:31] More than 400 Palestinians killed in surprise Israel Israeli. Airstrike across Gaza. You know, a few weeks ago when they put let the hostages out, it seemed like Hamas was rolling right back into power. They showed up, you know, looking like the foot clan from Ninja Turtles. Their little foot clan outfits, their AK-47s, their RPGs. And, you know, it's just going to go back to business as usual.

[00:01:59] I don't understand how the Palestinian people or the Gazans could be happy with that. But you've seen a lot of cheering. I don't understand it really very well. It doesn't make sense to me. But, you know, I was born and raised in the beautiful United States of America. And one of the defining factors of living, it doesn't matter how you feel about it, what you think about it.

[00:02:25] But one of the defining factors about living in the United States of America is that you can fill your house with firearms. And there's a good chance that your neighbor's done the same. And that makes all the difference. It makes all the difference. You know, there's no way you have a group like Hamas take a foothold over an entire nation when you have an armed public. People like to discredit it this day and age because terrible things happen.

[00:02:56] You know, violence and guns go hand in hand. Death and guns go hand in hand. So they like to blame this sort of gun-happy, gun-crazy culture in the United States. But in many ways, it's like, you know, when things are safe and lovely and wonderful and you can worry about your transgender reassignment surgery because you don't have to worry about Hamas throwing you off a church roof or a mosque roof.

[00:03:21] You don't appreciate the fact that one of the big reasons it is that way is because, not because we have a big, giant, and scary military, but because we have firearms hidden under every pillow across the country. So that is what it is. Morning, J. Ferg in the chat. What is up? We are on Rumble, Instagram, and YouTube today. We are really aligning with the dark forces today.

[00:03:48] Took the day off of Twitter with the live show, but the podcast auto-posts to Twitter anyway, so they'll get it. No big deal. Unfortunately, this news, combined with news that I was listening to out of Mexico, really kind of brought me to a conclusion that's a terrifying one.

[00:04:13] And it's the conclusion of urban warfare through the 21st century. You look at the things that are happening. You may not quantify this stuff the way that I do. It may not sit in your head the way it sits in my head, which is why I do what I do. So talking about drug cartels, talking about rooting out drug cartels, talking about the Mexican government.

[00:04:38] I was listening to a podcast about this on the way. You know, something real nice to drive your kids to school with. They're not paying attention. Well, maybe they are. But it's reality. You know what I mean? Listening to – and it's all stuff that is just being reinforced in my mind, things that I already knew about the corruption.

[00:05:03] But then the rubber starts to meet the road, and you start thinking about how do you deal with it? How do you really take care of it, right? Donald Trump has his ideas. We know there's going to be sort of military-esque action against the drug cartels. It's going to happen. And, you know, what does that look like? What is that going to look like?

[00:05:28] Well, unless it's targeted, extremely well-targeted with boots on the ground, it's going to look like dead people in urban areas, most likely.

[00:05:42] And what really smacked me in the face today was this might be the only solution to dealing with the problems, the most devious problems of the 21st century. In other words – and it's kind of the way humanity works, right? It's kind of the human irony of it all.

[00:06:05] We get more technologically advanced, but the truth of the matter is it might be – it might even be much more terrible an outcome all over the world. And why – what do I mean? Because urban warfare is quickly becoming either what's happening or the next step in what's going to happen everywhere. Just think it through, right? Just think it through. Think about Mexico.

[00:06:35] How do you root a drug cartel out in Mexico City, in various towns and places in Mexico? Or if things go extra kinetic, they start responding in the United States, something that we're very worried about. They start responding in the United States. We start responding into Mexico, and maybe even the Mexican military gets involved, you would hope. Not with us, but with the cartel. Well, people die. Urban warfare, ugly.

[00:07:06] Soldiers, innocents, the whole nine yards, right? People will die. It will look similar to what's happened in the Middle East, Gaza and Palestine, right? Maybe not to that extent, but it's the same concept. It's the Middle East urban warfare concept. Our military has been training urban warfare since the whole time I've been doing a podcast. The entire time I hopped on to do my first podcast, I remember reading stories.

[00:07:31] Remember Jade Helm, Operation Jade Helm, all kinds of different urban warfare training scenarios. The military knows what they're going to be dealing with. Think about Europe. Think about the UK. Now, again, this is rubber meets the road. The UK is being taken over by Muslims. Just is what it is. It's the up and down, the left and right of the issue.

[00:08:01] If militant factions of radical Islam take root in London and the UK, how do you get that out? This isn't a land war. They're not going to show up with tanks on your border on an island nation and large swaths of military. No, they're going to be in houses living next to other Brits. It's already that way. These things have already set up. It's already set up that way. Right. Maybe mosques. Maybe.

[00:08:34] France. France is in the same boat. Right. France. Belgium. Belgium. I mean, there's tons of places that are in the same situation all across Europe. Asylum. Seeking peoples have just taken root in these nations in a very big way. The idiotic liberal government said, come, come. As many of you as can come. Just keep coming. Please. Just all of you come and set up. We'll take you in.

[00:09:04] Our bleeding hearts will make sure. What's going to come next is leadership like Donald Trump to these places. And it'll either come because it's trending or it'll come because it's necessary. Because these European nations hopefully have enough backbone that they're going to say, we're not going to be taken over. Right. We're not going to be taken over.

[00:09:35] So when you find yourself in that situation, again, militaries have to go in. Where are they going in? If you have an insurgency in your own nation, do you think that's going to be pretty? And how ugly will it be if the British military has to kick doors in and wind up killing their own people? This scene and setting is everywhere except Ukraine and Russia right now.

[00:10:04] Like Ukraine and Russia really feels like one of the last really big land wars where there's a clear line in the sand and good guys on this side, bad guys on that side. Right. To me. And look at the United States. It's the same situation. Just hasn't happened yet. The same. We know that there are monsters in this country. We know that people when when Joe Biden decided, hey, let's just let everybody in.

[00:10:34] We know that China got people in here that want to do terrible things. You know, Russians are in here that want to do terrible things. They're just waiting and sitting and saying, well, let's see how the ceasefire works. Let's see how far the Americans want to go. Let's see how far the Europeans want to go. These forces are in in bedded in nations. And I really do think that I don't see another way.

[00:11:01] I don't see another way outside of urban warfare that you root these people out. Because you have to root these people. You kid there's not going to be. There's not going to be some kind of stasis or balance between a growing Muslim population in European nations. It's not going to happen because radicals are there already and they're already committing violence. They do not respect the women. They do not respect the men.

[00:11:31] They do not respect the governments. How do you think that's going to work? You know what I mean? So unfortunately, you know, watching what's happened this morning in Gaza, thinking about the next steps in Mexico. If we are to see the end of the drug cartels, if someone is going to step up and do something about the drug cartels, then it's.

[00:11:56] It's hard not to look forward 10, 20 years and see rashes of urban warfare throughout Europe, throughout the United States. You know, and maybe the police SWAT, those types of people can take on the sort of rooting. We will take out the sort of rooting out of these radical factions. Bloody. Bloody. Bloody and.

[00:12:28] And terrifying to really wrap your head around South America. You know, what does Taiwan look like? Maybe that could be an actual. One of the only other actual real big wars, you know what I mean? Good guys, bad guys type war. But the rest of these things, particularly on the backs of drug kingpins and cartels and radical Islam are. They're going to be urban warfare. They're going to be urban warfare in places you're not used to seeing.

[00:12:59] On the streets of Europe. Right. In the streets of the United States. We have not seen much of anything in the United States, in my opinion, based on, you know, just see what they do in the Middle East. Not seen a lot of that. Not a lot of people walking into stores blowing up bomb vests. You know, you don't. It's not like your average target gets a suicide bomber from time to time. Doesn't really happen. I think it might. You know, I do. I think it might.

[00:13:27] And then the response to that's what's even more terrifying. Right. Right. So because of all of this, we find ourselves in a situation where, you know, what what is one to do? The reality. And the reason so many people are turning to prepping and homesteading. The reason so many people want chickens.

[00:13:50] The reason you go on Instagram or you go on your favorite social media app and you see at least one post a day where somebody saying all I want is 40 acres, a log cabin, some chickens, some goats and gardens and leave me the hell alone. Is because those people, I think, see the world for what it is. And everybody has a different response to it. And their response is get me the hell out of here.

[00:14:19] Get me the hell out of here before this all goes sideways. You know, you know, I'm in the minority of preppers when I say that's not how society survive. You know what I mean? So I'm not a big fan of that modus operandi. I understand it. I wouldn't hold it against anyone. I wouldn't begrudge anybody for wanting to get away from it.

[00:14:46] But there has to be a certain amount of people around to sustain things. Right. Or else you might as well just hand the keys over to China and the radical Islamists now. But that's just what it is. One thing and one of the biggest things that has changed the way that I live my life in terms of preparedness is food storage.

[00:15:12] Food storage for me was probably one of the biggest epiphanies in prepping of all. It. When I really went through with the process and look, food storage can be handled, you know, many different ways.

[00:15:31] There are great companies out there like Ready Hour, which I think is I think Ready Hour is about the best overall food storage if you're going to buy it from a price perspective, from a quality perspective, from a variety perspective. And just so you know, I was paid three years ago to test every kind of food storage that you can buy, except like super small producers.

[00:15:57] But all the main guys, the Ready Wise, the Valley Food Storage, the Emergency Essentials, the Ready Hour, the Fort Patriots, all of them. I tested them all, reviewed them all. And based on price, based on taste. I mean, to me, Ready Hour was always the best. It was always the standout. It wasn't the best tasting. Right. I think Ready Wise was the best tasting. But that's they're expensive.

[00:16:25] So to me, overall, the best is Ready Hour because it's the balance of all characteristics you're looking for. Just my take. You know what I mean? You might think it completely differently, but that's my take. I'd say if you're looking to do something similar, then Ready Hour is a good place to start. It's a good place to start and say, you know, I like this, but X, Y and Z. I like this, but, you know, A, B and C.

[00:16:54] Nothing changed my life more. I had bought food storage before I packed my own DIY food storage. Okay. Now's a good time to talk about Pack Fresh USA. Okay. Go to PackFreshUSA.com. Check them out. Because they provide me all the things I need to pack my own DIY food storage. Right. Outside of the buckets. I buy the buckets from Lowe's because they cheap. That's why.

[00:17:22] And I've been doing it for years. No rodents have eaten into the buckets. No water has seeped into the buckets. You know, I know what people out there are very particular about their buckets and their gamma lids and all that kind of stuff. Whatever. I can tell you right now, the $5, $6, $8, whatever it is, buckets at Lowe's will serve you perfectly.

[00:17:46] But the first time I packed up a 50-pound bag of white rice and two 25-pound bags of black beans and pinto beans, I remember laying in bed that evening and just feeling really good. Is the camera focusing on the microphone and not my face? I don't know. I remember laying in bed and feeling really good about food. Like really good about the idea that we will eat.

[00:18:16] You know what I mean? In most situations, we will eat. With water and the ability to cook, we will eat. And water's never been an issue for us. But I had guns. I had scary black rifles. You know what I mean? All that kind of stuff. But for me, the real difference maker was food storage.

[00:18:40] It really was knowing not only do I have food stored, but now I can go out and buy exactly what I want to store. I want to store flour. I can store flour. I can go buy it. I can put it in Mylar bags. I can put oxygen absorbers in there appropriate to the size. Right? And seal that up with a heat sealer and put it in a bag. I mean, put it in a bucket rather. And now this is an insurance. This is an inflation insurance.

[00:19:10] It's a, I mean, it, it always helps. I never regret it. My kids, they harp on me a little bit now. It's fun. It actually is kind of fun and funny. Um, but you know, when there's sort of, we're a cynical family. We are a, uh, sarcastic family. You know what I mean? We're funny. And so we pick on each other all the time. And when they're picking on me or picking on their upbringing and they're like, yeah, it's real easy to explain why there are, uh,

[00:19:40] blue buckets in everybody's closet. You know what I mean? Garden Girl in chat says, I was able to get 20 pounds of whole wheat flour at Costco yesterday for 15 bucks. It's awesome. That's awesome. I'll tell you what though. When I was working in the pretzel factory, uh, I used to run a pretzel bakery up in Glen Mill, Glen Mills, Pennsylvania. No, that's not right. Is that right?

[00:20:09] Chad's Ford, Pennsylvania. And, uh, man, the flour was so cheap back in those days, back in the, Oh, sevens back in the old sevens. You could get a 50 pound bag of flour for like 10 bucks, seven bucks sometimes. Cause it used to fluctuate. Then it went up to 20 and it was like, Ooh God, this business model suffering. Just, you know, just a thought. Um, but yeah, you can, you can pack up flour.

[00:20:36] You can, you know, one of the things that I started packing up, um, and you have to cycle through this stuff. Okay. You have to cycle through it. But one of the things I started packing up is Bisquick. And I have read that Bisquick bags will blow up, puff up and pop. Right. Um, and it's never happened to me. Maybe in the early days, you get into this idea of just putting the core basics together.

[00:21:06] Beans, rice, flours, sugars, salts, macaroni, those kinds of things. Mylar bags, buckets, bucket up food. Right. As you start to progress in, in your food storage, you might think more strange basics could be effective. Right. And you might also think, um, more particular and more, uh, convenient type of food storage. You know, something like a Bisquick is great.

[00:21:34] Something like a yellow cake mix is great. And that's one of those things like a yellow cake mix, man, is probably going to sit around a long time with oxygen, oxygen absorbers in mylar bags. A long time before you have any issues with it. You start to put these things away for, you know, for the convenience of it. And it makes sense. You know, it makes sense. Before long, you're going to have, you're going to have months of calories.

[00:22:03] If you start doing this before long, you're going to have months worth of calories. You might wind up with years worth of calories. It's a lot. You need a lot of space to do years worth of calories. Right. It's like a million calories a person per year. I think that's off the top of my head. I think that's it, right? A million point one or point two or something like that. I'm pretty sure is the amount of calories a person, one person will need for a year.

[00:22:27] Um, one of the things that we have at PBN family.com that is really simple. I created it myself. It's, it's really simple. It looks like it's not an impressive looking document, but if you get into food storage, it, it makes your understanding of how much food you have way easier.

[00:22:52] I basically went through all the buckets of five, five gallon sized foods, right? For five gallons worth of a food and broke it down into calories. So in other words, if I've got a five gallon bucket of white rice, what do I really got? Calorically speaking, if I've got a five gallon bucket of, uh, macaroni, what do I got?

[00:23:18] You know, and, and I'm telling you right now, I'll look at it over real quick and I'll tell you all the things that are on there because it's a big deal. When I tell you that becoming a member here at PBN, the initial email that I send you when you sign up is worth the cost of entry 60 bucks for the year. Like I'm not kidding. I'm not saying it to sell you on it. I'm telling you because it's literal.

[00:23:47] If you use the preparedness master schedule, if you use the ultimate preppers group calorie homestead spreadsheet, which is right there. When you go to PBN family.com, it calculates how many animals you need, how much feed, how much food, how much meat, all that kind of stuff. It does it automatically. It's an awesome little, little spreadsheet. And then of course you have the food storage, uh, calories per five gallon bucket. And like I said, it's just a list.

[00:24:17] It's nothing incredible, but it is incredible. It doesn't look incredible, but it is incredible. I guess I could make it. I don't know. I'm not going to make it look better. Why would I make it look better? It's phenomenal. It does exactly what you need it to do. It's amazing. I'm very proud of it. And there's no need for me to put, uh, there's no need for me to put, you know, stickers on it or something like that for you.

[00:24:45] So I've got long grain rice, five gallon bucket. All of these are calculated for how much, how many calories are in a five gallon buckets worth. All right. So five gallon buckets worth of long grain, white rice, black beans, pinto beans, flour, sugar, olive oil. I don't know why I put salt, but it says NA next to salt, clarified butter shortening. Like you want to pack the calories in man. The five gallon buckets of fat are a big deal.

[00:25:14] I do kind of like the shortening. I know it's not great for you, but it'll last forever. It'll last forever. Um, spaghetti, oats, cornmeal, potato flakes. Okay. Okay. Potato flakes, cornmeal. That's a good one. And very quickly, when you look this thing over, like when I tell you, you need a million

[00:25:41] calories plus four years worth of food storage for a person in your family, what one person in your family. Right. When I tell you that, that's like, Ooh, Oh, here you go. Three for four. See, apparently I, when you do what I do, as long as I've done it, you forget all the cool things that you come up with. And at the top of the document, it says, remember the food storage rule of three for four, three million calories feeds a family of four for one year. There you go.

[00:26:11] So I was a little off. Um, fire wolf. I saw you message me over there on meta. What are you playing over there, man? We're going to get into the old VR VR world with the, if you're blacksmithing in virtual reality, I'm going to be very upset with you at any way. Uh, so yeah, the rule, the three, the three for four, 3 million calories feeds a family of four for one year.

[00:26:41] That sounds crazy. Right. That sounds like one of those things. It's like 3 million calories, dude. Where, how, what do you mean? Like you pick up a box of food and it's like 340 calories. What am I, if you look at these five gallon bucket breakdowns, you'll start to see, Oh, tens of thousands of calories in a five gallon bucket of food. Now, all of a sudden, Hmm. Okay. I see how we can get to a hundred. I see how we can get to half a million. I see how we can get to a million.

[00:27:10] And this is, this is sort of the best way that I came up with having the ability to do that. And then also being able to count that quickly, you know, cause you could even round, like I'll give you one, a long grain white, a five gallon bucket of long grain white rice is right around 30,000 calories. I mean, it's so negligible that you could, you could call it 30,000 calories. So now if you have buckets of white rice, it's real easy for you to say to yourself, I just

[00:27:39] count by threes and I know how much, how many calories I have in white rice. Simple, right? Pretty simple. So, um, yeah, that's, that sheets up there at PBN family.com. Um, if you're already a member, just go download it, use it, use it as you see fit. You can very easily inventory your calories that way. You know, it's in your buckets. I hope you've marked your buckets. I hope that's one thing I did leave out.

[00:28:06] You put the mylar in sealed, boom, all that kind of stuff. And then you, uh, you got to put a, you know, some kind of marker on the bucket itself. Don't write directly on the bucket because you're going to reuse that bucket. Right? So if you write real big rice on the side of the bucket, and then, you know, in, in a couple of years, you have sugar in it, it's going to mess you up, but go to PBN family.com. If you're a member and, uh, check out that sheet.

[00:28:35] I'm telling you, just print it out, just print it out, put it somewhere easy to get to or save it on your phone or something like that. Uh, and if you're not a member, what are you waiting for? Right? Sign up, sign up. Like I said, the intro email that we send the bug out, uh, link, the, um, the link to the spreadsheets, the, the, all the members. I mean, the, the links within that first email are well worth the signup L to survive is with us.

[00:29:04] What is up? Let me throw you in the chat here. Boom, boom, boom. How many calories do you allocate for what job? Oh, that's a really cool one. Well, first, I mean, that's a good, that's a really good question. And I think I don't have an answer for that, but what I, cause it's just per person in my mind, you know what I mean? But, and it's per person and every person's an adult, right?

[00:29:31] We just, we just said the, the rule of three for four, 3 million calories for four people, for a year. The rule of three for four, wrap your head around that. I guess there was a time when I used to say that all the time because it was most important enough that I thought it become a rule like the six, eight, eight, six rule. But, um, I forgot. You forget things, you know, when you're doing this day in and day out, you forget things. Uh, what I would say is important though, maybe more important than how many calories

[00:30:01] do you allocate for what job, sex or age? I would say, uh, I would say that, sorry, garden girls comment just threw me off a little bit. I had to read it while talking. Um, what you will have to have is, is a breakdown of jobs, a breakdown of responsibilities. And even if you and your family already have a sort of responsibility breakdown, like, you know, what you're responsible for, they're responsible for so on and so forth.

[00:30:31] You have it written down or you have it assigned somehow. Now I encourage everybody to do this. This is my fundamental answer to the question of what happens when people come to my house during SHTF during, uh, you know, the real big problem, whatever that is. Tio Tawaki, the whole thing has gone a mess, right? A lot of people have questions about this. A lot of people have platitudes on this. Nobody's coming in my house. I'll shoot them. Yeah, doubt it.

[00:31:01] You know what I mean? Really doubt it. Have a, have a problem with that. Have a big problem with that. You know, I don't think anybody's going to do, or very few people are going to do that. You know? Um, but what I will tell you is this. If you want to, if you want there to be as little friction as possible, have your sheet. Maybe I need to show you guys my sheet. Have your, we'll do it for members. That's fair. It took work to put together.

[00:31:30] Have your sheet, right? Spreadsheet. Simple. Print it out. List of tasks. Just simple spreadsheet. Tasks, duties, chores, whatever. Whatever has to be done in your world. Sit down and think about what SHTF would look like. Security. Gardening. Hunting. Foraging. Foraging. Cooking. Cleaning. Digging. Whatever, right? Think it all through and then say to yourself, all right, I'm going to lay it all out on a spreadsheet.

[00:31:56] There's going to be a place for a name, maybe times and days, something along those lines. And, uh, this is what you hand to people when they want to come join. They come, they show up, right? We didn't prepare properly. Uh, what are we going to do? Can we have some help? Can we have some food? Can we stay with you? The answer can almost always be yes. The answer can almost always be yes.

[00:32:25] As long as you have the sheet and you can go here, uh, I need somebody to go into the back there with the machete and clear out all that poison ivy and, you know, deal with whatever else is out there. And once that's all clear, then we can talk about whatever. Then we can, you can stay if they're family, people you trust, or you do that day's work and I'll pay you in food because we want to put a greenhouse over there.

[00:32:55] It is to me, it is very much the, the, the cleanest way. There's really no need to argue, right? If it's an argument, oh, I don't want to do that. Okay. Well, mosey on down the road and see if somebody else has something free to give you. If it becomes an angry situation, that's bullshit. We're starving out here. Okay. Here are your options. Here are your options. Way better than just saying, no, get the hell out of here.

[00:33:24] Or we're going to kill you. Right. And that's it. So as long as you have, it's just like neighborhood security, build out your neighborhood security. Now. Just build it out, have a sheet. And I've shown this before, but have a sheet, you know, where's your desired security perimeter going to be? Where are you going to take people who are injured? Where are you going to, you know, all those kinds of things, the layout of the community, where, where security is going to be.

[00:33:54] And then just have it. If you ever are in a situation where you're gathered together out front of homes, people are freaking out. There's guns going off in the distance and shit has gone haywire. Then you could say, well, look, I wrote this up. Everybody take a sheet. And I think we should talk about security of our own neighborhood. You know, now, if you're at zero, you're starting to get to a point where, in other

[00:34:20] words, if you're the average, like suburbanite mother, who's watched the walking dead or something like that. And you're like, I don't know what we're going to do. We're going to get overrun. Now you can at least look at that sheet and go, this kind of makes sense. Okay. We have security perimeter here. We've got roads coming in that need to be defended or blocked or barricaded, whatever. It all starts to make sense. There's something they can hold on to. And then when you have guys in the neighborhood who are like going to interject and, you know, try to become the leader real quick. And it's fine.

[00:34:49] Maybe they have what, maybe they have what it takes to be the leader. Maybe you don't want to be the leader. At least you have your two cents in paper form. All right, let's talk about mine and let's add to it. Let's take away. If you sit there like this, things are going to get bad. You know what I mean? You guys watching me have too much information, too smart. You're too well-versed in this stuff to remain quiet in a situation like that. L2 survive. What's he talking about?

[00:35:18] I plan for our neighborhood to get breakfast at my house. That way we get at least one meal per day. We build community and I get information. L2 survive is, he's right on the money. Watch his YouTube channel. Go subscribe. I'm telling you right now. He's right on the money with this one. Mine is similar. My plan is similar. My plan is built around coffee. I'll let the neighborhood sustain or bring because we'll have a barter or trade situation for coffee and then we'll have a daily meeting. Okay?

[00:35:48] It seems to make a lot of sense. Right? People are going to wake up. They're going to eventually run out of coffee. We go to disastercoffee.com. Look at the bunker beans. We're talking about food storage. You can store bunker beans the same way that you store everything else. Bunker beans at disastercoffee.com. They're green, unroasted coffee beans. You can roast them yourself. You grind them every day. You got coffee. And all of a sudden, you're the coffee kingpin.

[00:36:17] People come to you for their caffeine high and then you have their ear for a minute. We'll be serving coffee between 9 and 9, 15, 8 and 8, 30, whatever you want to do. Right? I have a DIY off-grid coffee video that shows exactly how I run a coffee station at Prepper Camp. Produce coffee for three days straight. No inputs. You know? That's how we do it.

[00:36:47] Think about these things. You know? All of these, like L2 Survives plan, my plan with coffee, none of that stuff happens unless you have stockpiles of food or, you know, ingredients. And that's what food storage is all about. In the beginning, food storage is about, I don't want to starve to death. I don't want to look at my kids and say, we don't have any food. I don't want to go beg or kill someone for something. Right? That's how food storage starts in the minds of most people. And trust me, there's a lot of people who have that in their mind.

[00:37:16] I talk to guys, regular dudes working regular jobs in 2020, and we would stand out on that porch, right out on my front porch, and I'd be like, man, it's getting crazy out there. They don't know what I do. You know what I mean? They don't know what I do. I tell them I'm a writer when they come in because it's, you know, partially true. Well, you know, what's your plan? I mean, if they, you know, no food in the grocery store and that kind of stuff. I had several guys that year, working class dudes, good dudes came in, did a great job

[00:37:45] for me with home maintenance stuff. Several dudes would say, well, I just have to go take it from other people if we need it. So, in a lot of minds, that's step number one. That's not a good plan. That's a direct route to leaving a widow. You know what I mean? So, Firewolf Forge says, which meal, if you get only one, is the best do you all think?

[00:38:13] Like, I'd say by far it's breakfast. Or by far it's the egg and meat-based high-protein meal. You know what I mean? Like, the high-protein, high-fat meal is going to be the best one in my opinion. Because, I mean, I'm just speaking from experience. Like, if I'm going to have a huge... Oh, no. This discussion went so well, we're going to have to save the SHTF chef for tomorrow. Oh, well. We're having fun.

[00:38:43] Who cares? I'm speaking from experience. There are days when I eat, you know, like four eggs, scrapple, buttery toast, and a glass of milk. And I'd be fine not to eat anymore for the rest of the day. I mean, completely fine. Like, I feel the pangs of boredom, hunger. I feel the pangs of, like, you know, it's getting around dinner time and habitual hunger.

[00:39:13] You know, like the family's here, and this is going on, and you're cooking dinner, so you might as well eat. But I know from fasting, and I know from what I've taken in that day, I'd be underserved. I wouldn't have all the calories I need. But I know for a fact that I'd be feeling good. You know, I've just done it so many times. I've had those big breakfast meals. Like I said, four eggs, some kind of meat, some kind of fatty meat. I like scrapple the best because it's...

[00:39:43] Scrapple is hearts and livers and cornmeal and delicious. And, you know, it's kind of like a meat-carbohydrate combination. And then you have your buttery toast, a little milk, boom. L2 survives two cents on that one. Potatoes and vegetables in the ground and chicken egg from the coop. Breakfast for everyone is pretty easy. Oh, I like that. I like that.

[00:40:12] That's a good way to do it. Yeah. Potatoes and vegetables in the ground. Probably potatoes from the root cellar, though, to be honest. Right? Because potatoes in the ground aren't really going to help too much. But yeah, you get them and, you know, put them out in the sun, whatever it is. Cure them into the root cellar. And yeah, don't forget a multivitamin. SHTF food is usually missing vital minerals.

[00:40:41] Yeah, multivitamin is good. You do the powdered milk, like I said, with the vitamin D and the added nutrients. You do the omega-3 fatty acids. I do that every day. I was listening to Rhonda Patrick the other day, who is my nutritionist. Everyone should listen to Rhonda. Rhonda is the real deal. I mean, she really is. If you're into nutrition, if you're into real, like real nutrition and fitness and how they work together.

[00:41:10] She's the best. She's been the best. She's still the best. She was talking to Chris Williamson on the Modern Wisdom podcast about nitrites and nitrates and bacon and that kind of stuff. And turns out people eating breakfast and drinking vitamin C orange juice have been onto something for a very long time.

[00:41:32] Like they high levels of vitamin C with foods that are contain nitrates like a lot of breakfast foods and nitrites. High vitamin C prevents the process that turns those nitrates into carcinogens, which is what creates cancer, which is why people are most nervous about eating those foods. So I don't know. That was cool. That was something I never knew about. It really opened my eyes.

[00:41:57] It really made me happy because I'll eat 2000 milligrams of vitamin C if I get to eat bacon, too. On top of it, guilt free food storage, folks. Food storage. OK, I like I said, a lot of things come from food storage. A lot of things. What's up, Lord Fairfax prep? I'm sorry, guys over at Instagram.

[00:42:23] I have not really been watching the the Instagram chat too much this morning. We got a lot of people chatting over on Rumble and YouTube. And it's just. Yeah, my bad. We're going to go out today with today's sponsor, Lima Tango Survival. Let me make sure that my microphone is not muted. Visit Lima Tango Survival dot com, folks.

[00:42:47] I'm telling you the the benefit of having one of these bags really changes things in terms of like. Problems, the word that always comes to mind for me is problems, because you wind up in a situation where maybe an extra bag is exactly what you need. And you think that what you're going to do is build that bag out perfectly. You're going to create that bag. It's just a few months away. It's another bag. It's another thing on the to do list.

[00:43:17] I have found playing around with the solo kit from Lima Tango Survival that it's plenty. It's plenty. It's a one hundred and fifty dollar solution. That is plenty. Is it the first bag I'm going to grab? No, because I've made my own. Especially to those of you out there who have no bags, who are new to this prepping thing and who are like, I need to get my bug out bag created, my get home bag, my inch bag, my whatever bag. Right.

[00:43:47] I need to get an emergency bag created that's going to be effective. I've gone through this thing. I've gone through it. I've rifled through it. If you remember, you can go to Family Gear, our review series and watch the full review of the bag. Like it's plenty. It is plenty for one person. And it solves that problem. It's a bag. You will have to get into it and open everything up and see how everything works and that kind of stuff.

[00:44:16] But once you do that, it's. It's a problem solver, man. Everything they do over there is a problem solver, because what the difference is with Lima Tango is a lot of people put out pre-made bags that they create from Timu. They create from Alibaba. They put a bunch of crap in there that is crap. And that's what it is. And there's no desire beyond that. There's no desire beyond saying, well, you got a knife and you got a lighter and you got, you know, a shelter.

[00:44:46] And there's no desire for that aside from profit. Bill from Lima Tango is an amazing dude. And he's a guy who, for all that I can tell, is really intent on creating bags that he can sell at a reasonable price that are the ultimate. Right. Because there's always a balance when you're when you're creating backpacks for survivalists and preppers and people who want to prepare for emergencies.

[00:45:15] The cost can go up and up and up. Right. Like I can create a bag for you in about an hour that'll cost five thousand dollars and be the coolest thing you've ever seen. But nobody's going to be able to afford it. Right. You'll be completely prepared for most everything. You know, my my ten thousand dollar model would be even better. But. What good is that?

[00:45:35] One hundred and fifty dollar backpack like the Solo, which is sitting right here next to me, is way more valuable, way more effective because you're actually going to buy it. You know, so Lima Tango Survival dot com. Check them out, guys. Thanks for everything. I really do appreciate you. It's a fun show. How to food storage. We may have to do a few more how to how to entries because this one was fun. A lot of good input from the audience. I did have an SHTF chef for you. We'll just get to it tomorrow.

Biden running amok over the country. People worried about the cost of everything was going up. Remember, gas went up like crazy. And I was saying, if people don't have 60 bucks for the year, if that's too big an investment. There's nobody in modern America.

[00:47:36] Hardly. That has a job. Well, even if you don't have a job, I guess. Nowadays. They can't shell out five bucks a month. You're already doing it. You're already shelling out five bucks a month. You're buying a Dunkin Donuts drink. Five dollars. You're buying a Starbucks drink. Five. Seven dollars. Whatever. Right. OK. I'll talk to you guys soon. What is it? Tuesday. This might be it for Tuesday. We might have a quiet Tuesday here on PBN. Yeah.
