[00:00:25] And now here's your host, Sarah F. Hathaway and Chen Gibson.

[00:00:30] Welcome back to the Changing Earth Podcast.

[00:00:38] This is episode number 466 and we got one heck of a show for you guys today.

[00:00:45] We are one week past Prepper Camp today.

[00:00:49] Hurricane Helene came in and hit us all while we were at Prepper Camp.

[00:00:55] But at Grace of God, we only had a couple trees come down on the whole property.

[00:00:59] It was chaos all around us.

[00:01:01] But we had a lot of the PBN hosts out there.

[00:01:04] So we thought it would be a fun show to have everybody on.

[00:01:07] Well, not everybody that was there but we tried to get a lot of us together.

[00:01:11] So I've got first up Ryan Puford here with us.

[00:01:15] Hey Ryan, what's going on?

[00:01:19] Hey, how are you? It's great to see you.

[00:01:21] I heard you again anyway.

[00:01:23] Yeah, yeah, we're not worrying about not getting out this Sunday.

[00:01:27] Yeah, right.

[00:01:29] We got all Douglas Hogan in the house.

[00:01:32] How are you Doug?

[00:01:34] What's up Sarah?

[00:01:35] Well, how are you?

[00:01:37] I'm doing good.

[00:01:37] I finally got to calm down a little bit on Friday.

[00:01:40] So it was a good day.

[00:01:41] And of course, you know, I always let the ladies go first.

[00:01:44] So that's why we got Ryan and Doug up first.

[00:01:48] Thanks Sarah.

[00:01:49] Hey, you know, so we've got Jordan Smith in the house.

[00:01:53] Hey Jordan.

[00:01:54] Hey y'all.

[00:01:56] And we got JB in the house.

[00:01:59] I'm going to get out my live chat here.

[00:02:01] So hi JB, how are you?

[00:02:04] Hi.

[00:02:05] You're home.

[00:02:07] You were like the last one.

[00:02:08] The first one in and last one out.

[00:02:11] You guys got to give JB a hand because oh my gosh, crazy experience.

[00:02:16] I think he does not, huh?

[00:02:19] Yeah, when did you get out?

[00:02:24] Yeah, Friday.

[00:02:26] And when did you first start doing runs out for gear and stuff for prepper camp this year?

[00:02:34] Two weeks before the event.

[00:02:36] Two weeks before.

[00:02:38] So this has been quite a month for you.

[00:02:40] Quite a month.

[00:02:41] Definitely.

[00:02:44] Alright, so let's just go around and we'll just kind of talk about, you know, before prepper camp I was watching the weather for days.

[00:02:54] And it was clear.

[00:02:55] It was going to be sunny.

[00:02:57] It was going to be beautiful and wasn't nothing in our way.

[00:03:00] And then this disturbance starts in the Gulf.

[00:03:03] So just some of your guys' thoughts on like what you were thinking.

[00:03:07] You know, we all still showed up.

[00:03:10] Some people did it and just some of your thoughts on how that process was for you.

[00:03:15] Go ahead, Ryan. Start us off.

[00:03:18] So yeah, I also watched for several weeks ahead of time.

[00:03:21] I booked my flight and so I flew in from Washington state and I put my flight back in, I don't know, February in my hotel in maybe May or June.

[00:03:31] Because I flew into Charlotte and then caught a ride to get over to prepper camp.

[00:03:35] And I was watching the weather and really paying attention, especially the 10 day forecast because that was going to dictate my gear that I was going to bring and changes in that regard.

[00:03:45] So yeah, I was definitely expecting rain this year but nothing like what we got at all.

[00:03:52] So I definitely had to change out some of my back and make sure that I had the right gear on hand to make it through the weekend for sure.

[00:04:01] How about you coming in from the bathroom boy there?

[00:04:08] I just changed my microphone.

[00:04:10] You all right?

[00:04:11] Yep. Yeah, we can do it.

[00:04:12] Okay.

[00:04:14] No, so yeah, I mean, we knew in advance that this beast was coming in.

[00:04:21] Didn't know how crazy it was going to be.

[00:04:23] I knew it was coming in.

[00:04:25] Usually these things don't go so far.

[00:04:28] They kind of break up and turn to a tropical storm before they get, you know, beyond Florida or whatever.

[00:04:35] It's going to have a little bit more juice behind it.

[00:04:37] You can look at the conspiracy theories and see how they were saying some of this stuff was coerced, what was coerced a little bit.

[00:04:44] And it seemed to linger.

[00:04:45] I know as we were there, I could see that it was, our singles were in and out.

[00:04:51] And I just feel like it kind of lingered a little bit longer than it should have.

[00:04:56] I was almost at one spot and just kind of spun over us.

[00:05:02] Yeah, I agree with that.

[00:05:03] Knowing that it was coming, I came prepared for whether I mean, you know, had my frog top tops and my black waterproof kill.

[00:05:11] You're scared.

[00:05:12] Yeah, but you know what?

[00:05:15] I learned that nothing is waterproof.

[00:05:17] Yeah, fair.

[00:05:18] Fair.

[00:05:19] I had rain gear with me.

[00:05:20] So I learned that as well.

[00:05:22] Okay, Jasmine.

[00:05:24] Actually, let's have Jordan go first because Jordan, you're still, you're really close.

[00:05:28] So I am and I grew up in the foothills.

[00:05:31] And like I've said on the Monday night show and on my show, I am accustomed to tornadoes hitting and sorry, hurricanes.

[00:05:39] They usually die down.

[00:05:41] This is actually the first time a hurricane has ever hit as intensely as it has and kept going.

[00:05:49] Yeah, so for us though, even the forecast, like you said, we weren't seen it as anything in the news.

[00:05:55] Same once it hit landfall, it would die down, it would pewter out.

[00:05:59] So for us, I mean, we didn't see it as a concern.

[00:06:03] Like I said, I grew up in the foothills of the Ozarks.

[00:06:05] So by the time a hurricane hits us or even my family or who are here in the Appalachian and Smokies, it's not an issue.

[00:06:13] So we didn't even think twice about it.

[00:06:16] I mean, luckily we were safe, but I never got one of those odd feelings.

[00:06:20] My family and my infant son, we still went.

[00:06:23] And I tell you what, no one would know now.

[00:06:26] I still would have gone.

[00:06:28] So I mean, we were as ready as we could have been.

[00:06:32] But there was no way for us knowing that it was going to keep going the way it was.

[00:06:37] But it didn't stop us.

[00:06:38] We came in actually, we had it out Wednesday night at about midnight and got into Orchard Lake probably about 512 in the morning.

[00:06:48] So, you know, for us we were able to get in and then once we figured out what was going on, get set up.

[00:06:54] So it was it was one of those we had no way of knowing what the storm was going to do once we got here.

[00:07:01] So JB, you were almost on the road as that thing was forming like you almost left when it was still clear forecast.

[00:07:12] How did that?

[00:07:13] Yeah, how did that transpire like finding that out as you're going back and forth?

[00:07:19] I'm not going to lie.

[00:07:21] I didn't know until I got there that it was going on because like until like it started pinging up in the back room.

[00:07:33] But I was just going along.

[00:07:35] I was preoccupied with my own little.

[00:07:37] Too busy.

[00:07:41] I was like, I was going to make it to the same because I was I had all the audio visual for the event.

[00:07:48] So I was making sure that I was going to meet my deadlines and driving the whole way through.

[00:07:54] And then when we got there, I had a ditch most of my preps in my car in South Dakota along the way.

[00:08:02] We had to re pick up new stuff.

[00:08:05] When we got there and when I got there, we just got like the warnings tropical storm coming through.

[00:08:12] And it really wasn't anything that was alarming to me right when the storm actually hit on Thursday night.

[00:08:20] I was staying in Asheville in a hotel that's very on the window and I'm like, oh, trees are moving.

[00:08:29] It's just kind of like at home because we get big storm.

[00:08:34] Yeah, off the coast and used to be bent.

[00:08:38] So I wasn't too worried.

[00:08:40] It wasn't like God on the road.

[00:08:41] And I was like, whoa, this is bad.

[00:08:43] Yeah, coming from Texas.

[00:08:46] We saw what was happening down there and I mean, we're in Texas.

[00:08:51] So there's a lot of hurricanes that come up through and when you're on the outskirt of a hurricane like it can be going by and you don't even know it's there.

[00:09:00] So from what we could see it was forecasted to come into Florida be a problem in Georgia and then go up and break up over the mountains and head out into like Ohio Valley.

[00:09:13] So we're like, you know, you could be right on the edge of a hurricane and never even know it's there.

[00:09:18] So as long as we get out ahead of it, you know, going to Georgia, we should be fine.

[00:09:23] So we loaded up to cough early so we could get a jump on it.

[00:09:27] We did hit rain in Atlanta on Wednesday night and then came in Thursday and I mean, we were playing who know and having fun on Thursday night.

[00:09:39] So who was a quite an unexpected moment I have to say of like just, you know, we know I don't think anybody expected it to hit like that.

[00:09:51] That all I do have to say that it was disaster all around us guys like all around us was destroyed and landslides and we went out on some of the roads to try and go back road.

[00:10:08] Home and it was absolutely just destroyed.

[00:10:12] And so I do have to say that what was the grace guy we have no clue though.

[00:10:17] We had no service.

[00:10:20] There was no way for us to know the level of devastation like for me, honestly, it was like one of those heavy storms like grew up with trees fall.

[00:10:29] So beyond that, I mean, I didn't realize that the amount of devastation after the fact.

[00:10:37] We couldn't get any.

[00:10:39] Yeah, no, even with the not the sky net, but it was even with starting we could get a message out and get some love so I make a call out we still had no clue.

[00:10:51] And like everybody else was really assessing their current status at that point as well and they couldn't really tell the world what was going on either right then.

[00:11:01] So, you know, Friday we did a late start. I think it was great that we did our classes and stuff on Saturday because the people that were there that were already tough in that just spent that intensity.

[00:11:12] They would have been stated if we didn't, you know, pull it off.

[00:11:15] Oh, absolutely.

[00:11:17] I mean, we were already there.

[00:11:19] I don't think people realize is a lot of us just like Jasmine.

[00:11:23] We were already there.

[00:11:25] If not a week before the day before, you know, there are people who come in specifically an entire week before prepper camp to enjoy that time.

[00:11:35] There was no way of knowing once you get up on that mountain signal is sparse to begin with especially for a rise in or AT&T and let your T mobile.

[00:11:45] I don't get signal up there.

[00:11:46] Yeah, I hardly do.

[00:11:48] I hardly do.

[00:11:48] It's got to be like a hot spot out.

[00:11:51] Why I call.

[00:11:52] So, um, Doug, you came and got me on Friday.

[00:11:57] We're just about to nap out that was after the big storm.

[00:12:01] We were all parked in a pack.

[00:12:03] Um, the field were just slosh city.

[00:12:10] So that was interesting.

[00:12:12] What do you guys think about like your classes that day?

[00:12:14] Um, just some of your personal experiences there because you know, our beloved prepper camp event.

[00:12:20] We had to pull it off.

[00:12:21] So some of the feedback there.

[00:12:24] Yeah.

[00:12:25] So for those that listening to vendors and instructors expected there a day early.

[00:12:32] Specifically, I believe I got to be there early.

[00:12:35] So we were supposed to be, you know, teaching starting Friday morning.

[00:12:40] Right.

[00:12:41] So we got to be there Thursday, which is why we're all there early.

[00:12:44] Um, even if like, uh, what Jordan was saying, it could be there a week early, but vendors got to be there a day early.

[00:12:51] So I was there Thursday and yeah, uh, we were supposed to set up that Thursday, but because the weather, we didn't set up that Thursday.

[00:12:58] In fact, originally we were supposed to set up at one o'clock Friday and that ended up being like five o'clock Friday.

[00:13:04] And so we ended up getting, it was all slushy like there was the field that the pod of the lake where you're going to call it.

[00:13:13] You know, it's a rather large pond, but the dock was at one point underwater and they're like the boats were gone.

[00:13:20] They were attached and they were missing in the trees and, you know, they drowned the pond like the people that were normally on the ground.

[00:13:29] You couldn't sit at the base of them anymore because they were under the water.

[00:13:33] Um, however, you know where we were, where we were vending in our tents, you know, it wasn't dry by any stretch of imagination, but the ground was slushy.

[00:13:42] Right.

[00:13:42] And then you see, you see people like, I think it was Jordan, I think you were wearing little balls or crocs or flip-flops or something.

[00:13:49] No, I was actually in children sized rain glosses because I can't find my shoes size to say myself.

[00:13:57] He did, Snyder was there for making afraid.

[00:14:00] He walked on the size 14 freaking feet every time he stepped into it.

[00:14:03] Every time he stepped down, all the water would suck out from everywhere around the camera.

[00:14:08] I'm just kind of go down to his foot and he'd let up and come back out.

[00:14:11] He was like, yeah, he was completely barefooted.

[00:14:17] And I wish looking back, I probably would have been the way to go because I socks went through.

[00:14:22] I brought the extra socks because I knew it was going to rain.

[00:14:24] I went through them all and I was actually hanging them up truck to dry.

[00:14:29] Some of the ones that got wet earlier and we came in my truck.

[00:14:32] I took me two days when I got home to clean this smell out of the cabin.

[00:14:37] My truck is just must see freaking sweaty, wet clothes smell.

[00:14:41] It was gross.

[00:14:42] And Brock's like, he's a marine and he only brought two pair.

[00:14:46] No, no, I brought two pair of long, long like boot socks because I expect two days of rain.

[00:14:52] I would like, you know, none of it, like I said, none of us were expecting to see the lingerie as long as it was.

[00:14:56] Yeah, but I brought the boots socks to expect two days of rain and then I brought more like, like, I wear like ankle heist shoes.

[00:15:05] Yeah, so I brought lots of those just because I like to keep my feet dry.

[00:15:09] I knew that the ground was going to be a little wet, but not.

[00:15:12] I didn't know I was stepping up like literally a creek to help somebody set up their camp.

[00:15:18] I was like, what happened to you? You're a mask man.

[00:15:23] You saw me. I was normal dry knees and then steaming.

[00:15:28] I'm covered in mud. I just got the brown clay all over my legs.

[00:15:33] And it's it was gross.

[00:15:34] So what happens is this guy by himself, trying to pull this giant canopy.

[00:15:37] It's really a two-man job to top those things up and he was walking around it and he was laboring.

[00:15:43] I'm like, oh god, you know. So I went to jump over this little creek and land on the other side.

[00:15:49] And the other side, which should have been hard, I sank.

[00:15:52] I'm 265 and I sank from my foot to my knee just straight down into this clay.

[00:16:01] Oh, that was like quick sound.

[00:16:04] Yes. And that is like it made the slurping sound.

[00:16:08] I pulled it out.

[00:16:11] Oh, man.

[00:16:12] That's what I did for you for helping you.

[00:16:14] For helping. Yeah, no kidding.

[00:16:16] Yeah, right.

[00:16:19] Right in my part.

[00:16:21] Oh, go ahead. Go ahead, Jamie.

[00:16:24] I was going to say my partner was rocking the Ziploc bags for his feet because he didn't listen to me.

[00:16:29] Yeah, he was.

[00:16:31] I was like that's pretty smart.

[00:16:32] A picture of that posted on my Instagram because it's smart, but it is definitely entertaining.

[00:16:42] But like Doug, I had the same issue as I was walking.

[00:16:46] It was well before the Portofonce, but I took a step and I sunk all the way down to my knee.

[00:16:51] So it was just interesting.

[00:16:54] I'm not 65.

[00:16:55] I'm only five with two.

[00:16:56] So for him, it probably would have been equal D, but for me it was all the way up to me.

[00:17:01] Yeah.

[00:17:03] Ryan, no, I got to hand it to you because we all had vehicles.

[00:17:08] I'm going to have two vehicles there because Ellen drove one of my cars over there.

[00:17:12] So I got to give it to you then because you like weather that storm.

[00:17:18] You didn't even have a vehicle there.

[00:17:20] Talk about some of your gear and how you pulled that one off.

[00:17:24] So yeah, so I was hammock camping everything that I had with me.

[00:17:28] I carried on the plane.

[00:17:30] I didn't check anything.

[00:17:31] So I had a backpack like a, I use a, oh gosh, what's it called hyper light mountain gear.

[00:17:40] They make dry bags that are backpacks that are extremely late.

[00:17:45] So I had that.

[00:17:47] And before I left, I realized that we were looking at anywhere from 10 to 12 inches of rain and the day that I was getting ready to drive to go to the airport to get on the plane and go.

[00:18:00] I made a last minute decision because I was like, is this going to work?

[00:18:04] If I take my normal leather boots and go or am I going to have to do something else?

[00:18:10] And at the last minute, I decided, you know, better take rubber boots and just deal with it.

[00:18:17] More having yeah, having rubber boots and being slightly uncomfortable is better than being, you know, having leather boots and being extremely uncomfortable with wet feet.

[00:18:27] So I decided at the last minute to just go ahead and suck it up where weather rubber boots through the airport.

[00:18:33] And I packed a weatherproof car parka parka parka.

[00:18:40] What is that called?

[00:18:41] Parka.

[00:18:42] Yeah.

[00:18:43] Poncho.

[00:18:44] There we go.

[00:18:44] Poncho.

[00:18:45] And I got one.

[00:18:47] That was an actual it's, it's a style of poncho that actually transforms into a tent.

[00:18:54] And it's made by one Tigris.

[00:18:59] I believe it's a company out of something.

[00:19:00] It's pretty cool because it covers your whole bag and everything.

[00:19:03] That's your one at Prepper Camp.

[00:19:05] I figured out that my go bag is not waterproof.

[00:19:09] So that had to be rectified, you know, everything that's in there now is wrapped up.

[00:19:15] Yeah.

[00:19:16] And before I left, I went and bought two more dry bags that are made out of what the fabric called still nylon, s l nylon.

[00:19:25] And it's kind of a, it's like Dyneema, but it's a little bit different.

[00:19:30] But it's 100% waterproof and extremely lightweight.

[00:19:33] So I went through and I decided, you know what?

[00:19:38] If this is as bad as it's going to be, I'm going to need to pack stuff in dry bags instead of like, you know, just shove it in the pack.

[00:19:47] So I kind of went above and beyond to keep my stuff.

[00:19:51] I and that alone saved me because I was, oh yeah.

[00:19:56] So between the poncho and the rain boots and the dry bags and the dry backpack and all that kind of stuff.

[00:20:02] I actually had no problems with keeping my gear dry.

[00:20:06] The only issues that I had were the clothes that I was wearing.

[00:20:09] I just wound up, you know, setting that stuff aside and hanging it.

[00:20:15] But a lot of that was last minute decisions that I made to my pack.

[00:20:20] Good ones.

[00:20:22] Yeah, that was impressive.

[00:20:24] I was like, man, you can have a car like at least we had like a reprieve area for a second, you know, to be able to get out of that rain and just have that zone.

[00:20:34] So one thing I did as soon as I got there too is I realized it.

[00:20:38] So I went from to the city over to one of the campsites because they offered it up.

[00:20:43] There was a couple of cancellations and I was like, shoot for 15 bucks more light. Let's just do it.

[00:20:47] And actually I had some extra gear with me.

[00:20:50] I'll talk about that later in my show because I wanted to go out to somebody but anyways.

[00:20:58] So I realized that this thing was coming and it's going to be a challenge to stay dry and I've dry.

[00:21:04] I've done dry runs in environments before so I knew what it was like.

[00:21:09] I've tried to start fires in the rain before.

[00:21:12] And so for me, this wasn't the first my first rodeo dealing with outdoor camping minimalist outside in heavy rain.

[00:21:20] And I did all that in safe environments like in my own house.

[00:21:24] But this was all different and something that was just like, you know,

[00:21:28] Oh yeah. And you know, my trailer didn't even hold up to the 18 inches of rain or whatever that came in.

[00:21:33] It was a lot and it came in really fast and really quick.

[00:21:38] So yeah, I can't. Yeah, I mean every single piece of gear was put to the test.

[00:21:45] So I want to address before we get into the gear, because we're going to talk to you guys about some of the tips that we found out as we went along.

[00:21:53] But before we go there, I wanted to talk a little bit because there's been some negative attention towards Rick and Jane about not calling the event off.

[00:22:04] And so I wanted to touch base with that a little bit because first of all really bothers me every year of their life.

[00:22:10] They take the time to host this event.

[00:22:13] And if anybody thinks that they're making money at this excursion, they're absolutely 100% wrong.

[00:22:19] Have never come to the Saturday event to listen to Rick and Jane talk about their experience.

[00:22:25] And most years are barely breaking even to get the expenses paid.

[00:22:31] The tickets hardly ever go up.

[00:22:33] And they've been doing this for a day long.

[00:22:35] So this was your 11th.

[00:22:37] So if you can imagine taking the huge part of your life and just dedicating it to making sure that people have access to people who are instructors and can teach and provide the safe space.

[00:22:50] And they never make a big deal out of it and they don't want press there.

[00:22:53] They just do this because they feel driven to do that.

[00:22:57] And they took a lot of heat over the fact that they didn't cancel the event.

[00:23:01] So a little background.

[00:23:03] You know, you don't just order this like there are huge tents there.

[00:23:07] We almost lost the main tent actually.

[00:23:10] It's the size of a house out there in a field and everybody was out there dragging it down.

[00:23:14] But you don't just order this stuff in one week and get it delivered the next week.

[00:23:20] This planning goes in well ahead of time.

[00:23:23] The hurricane on the other hand was the surprise event.

[00:23:26] And for anybody who was like Rick was encouraging people to come in even when it was hurricane.

[00:23:33] I have to strongly disagree with that because Rick was concerned about his own house and his house being there and his animals still being alive.

[00:23:42] It was very much a scramble moment and you can look after the fact and say, well, the sat and the other.

[00:23:48] But you know, you just never know.

[00:23:51] And this is not something that can be planned in a day or canceled in a day.

[00:23:55] There's people that were already there.

[00:23:57] There are people that are coming in from across the country, other countries.

[00:24:01] So I don't know how you guys are feeling about that.

[00:24:04] That's just like my feeling.

[00:24:05] I would love to hear your guys's opinion on how hard.

[00:24:11] Yeah, some of this has been so I have seen the negative facts and I mean the negative comments and I don't think people realize this really was an act of God.

[00:24:23] This was not something Rick Jane or the rest of us could have ever imagined or even have foreseen.

[00:24:31] Like I said, I grew up in the South.

[00:24:32] I grew up in the lower half of the mountains and I can tell you it was a odd thing that the amount of grief they're getting.

[00:24:40] I had firsthand saw a vendor come up and approach Rick and ask, so what's the call and Rick told him.

[00:24:48] I can't make that for you right now.

[00:24:50] We're waiting to see what the weather does once it clears on Friday he goes, but if you filled is the best thing for you and your family.

[00:24:59] Then you are welcome to leave.

[00:25:00] He never made anyone say never told people that they had to come on.

[00:25:04] They just when we had enough signal to get messages out just like they did it was literally not closed yet.

[00:25:11] We had no way of knowing.

[00:25:13] So I think they made the best call for the situation.

[00:25:17] They weren't in part of my language, but it was one of those dammed if you do and damned if you don't because what would have happened if they had canceled it and nothing had happened in it through past.

[00:25:27] Right then they were like, Oh, what are you guys preparing for blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

[00:25:30] And that would have been just negative.

[00:25:33] Also, everybody should know that Rick and Jane and them are still without power, still without internet.

[00:25:40] If you've been messaging them and you haven't heard a response yet, they can't they don't know what's going on.

[00:25:46] They can't get message right.

[00:25:47] They're very limited resources right now.

[00:25:49] So as soon as things are back up and running, you know they're going to be reaching out.

[00:25:54] There's nothing with good hearted people.

[00:25:56] So just please be patient with them.

[00:25:58] They are still in the middle of this.

[00:26:00] They didn't get to drive home to their home.

[00:26:02] That's not in the disaster area.

[00:26:04] We did so please be patient with them and understand that they are going through it right now.

[00:26:11] Right because they live in that area, but I honestly think they made the best call and for the people who were already there, especially the people who weren't as prepared as the rest of us or not everyone can be as awesome of a preference.

[00:26:27] I think it's a good thing that I'm not as prepared as Ryan and I mean that in the positive.

[00:26:30] But it is definitely one of those things where I think it came about because I still had an amazing class both on Saturday and even though Sunday was not as much of a turnout, I had a great one on one with someone that I would do it again.

[00:26:46] Yep.

[00:26:47] And prepper camp being in there we got roads cleared before they were supposed to ever get cleared.

[00:26:52] One of the ladies right down the street went into labor during the storm.

[00:26:56] She was able to get out to a hospital with the power, but still she was able to because her camp was going on.

[00:27:03] There's differences that we made in the community.

[00:27:05] I had a prepper.

[00:27:06] I mean not a proper I had a local come up who attended prepper camp and tell me what y'all did.

[00:27:13] We thank you because emergency services would have made me gotten to us at earliest Monday or Tuesday.

[00:27:19] Then when I came down the mountain, the layout.

[00:27:22] I had this gentleman ran into we were just trying to see if we could find me Jericho and even said what we did help because of the fact that he had to cut himself out of his driveway.

[00:27:38] He said that it made it so much easier for him to get down to be able to help people because he figured he was going to be spending the next two days because he said the mountain does not get touched until about a week after any sort of disaster.

[00:27:53] And so for him, he and the other lady who is further up the mountain, which they were all safe.

[00:27:58] Fortunately, us being where we were was a blessing.

[00:28:01] Yeah, but they said they were able to check on the elderly and the sick and the individuals who lived on the mountain who would not have gotten a emergency services for almost a week if we had clear throat.

[00:28:15] So prepper camp being there, no matter how negative people want to put it, I'm sorry you went through the disasters you went through.

[00:28:23] But as a group, we made the difference even locally.

[00:28:27] And you know what that small difference made a big difference just for those like right there.

[00:28:32] Right.

[00:28:33] What about you, Doug?

[00:28:34] How was your class and how did you know how everybody respond?

[00:28:38] What was your feelings there?

[00:28:42] I think I had good attendance.

[00:28:44] I'm going to let whoever Ryan was there.

[00:28:46] I'm not sure if anybody else is here.

[00:28:48] I didn't make I was going to come the next day and then.

[00:28:51] Yeah.

[00:28:51] Yeah.

[00:28:52] There wasn't going to be a next day, right?

[00:28:55] Those things but just so the audience knows next week we're going to do your class on podcast so everybody gets to experience it because it's I wanted to experience it that bad.

[00:29:07] So stay tuned next week.

[00:29:09] Okay, go ahead.

[00:29:09] Sorry.

[00:29:10] That's okay.

[00:29:11] No, I actually actually surviving martial law for anybody's wondering and I actually a long time ago several years ago I was a vending as an author at sensible mountain preparedness.

[00:29:23] And I learned that if I if I if I.

[00:29:27] Miss was it?

[00:29:28] Oh, you know, because the table you had to pay for your vending table but I found out that if I was a strategic class, I would have to pay for a table.

[00:29:36] No, that's a deal.

[00:29:37] So I put together surviving martial law which was an idea that I had been working on anyway for some time because I wanted to put something together.

[00:29:45] And it was a success.

[00:29:48] It was actually originally a one hour course, which I had way too much time to cover.

[00:29:55] And I ended up going over and people that was there to help kind of regulate the time keeping all that came up and say many times done.

[00:30:05] He literally got booed because he had come up and get me and wanted me to keep talking.

[00:30:10] Right?

[00:30:12] Yeah, yeah.

[00:30:13] Right.

[00:30:14] And they understood that so they gave me the next time they need a three hour class.

[00:30:18] I'm like, yes.

[00:30:19] So did I have enough content for three hours?

[00:30:21] No, but I made enough content for three hours, right?

[00:30:23] So it ended up being so good that I wrote into a book.

[00:30:26] And so this has been, I've been teaching this for years, surviving martial law for at least probably five years, I'm going to guess.

[00:30:32] And it's always a success and it's always got a good turnout.

[00:30:35] I always get a lot of good comments out of it.

[00:30:37] And this class was first time I ever taught this at prayer camp.

[00:30:40] And I originally had this idea to Rick and Rick actually, you know, I guess he told you that he really enjoyed the content that I gave him.

[00:30:49] And he had emailed me back and told me that it was good stuff.

[00:30:52] And although all the chairs were filled as I recall, and there were people standing up even though we had extra chairs that people could grab and kind of sit down.

[00:31:02] Yeah, yeah.

[00:31:04] I wouldn't really think about it but I probably could have told you how you grab a chair and sit down, you know, just kind of make yourself at home.

[00:31:10] But I thought that I had a good turnout and I'm going to, when you get around to Ryan, let him talk about if it was a good content or not.

[00:31:16] But I enjoyed teaching it, something I enjoyed talking about and it had a good turnout.

[00:31:22] Yeah.

[00:31:23] Yeah, I wouldn't, I wouldn't change it like I say.

[00:31:26] I think everybody in my class has definitely enjoyed it.

[00:31:29] And I think it was, you know, a magnificent distraction as well for them because here they are, you know, it was a rough night and a tent.

[00:31:38] And at least they got to, you know, have some of the experience because a lot of speakers didn't make it in and things like that.

[00:31:45] So like I say that nobody was encouraging them to get there.

[00:31:49] It was, you know, you got to do what's right by your family.

[00:31:52] And when I wanted to leave on Sunday, that's exactly what Rick and Jane told me is you got to do it right by your family and get where you need to go.

[00:32:01] Because we weren't sure with gasoline what that trip out was going to look like.

[00:32:07] So.

[00:32:07] Right.

[00:32:08] And it had been, you know, it had started raining again like the day of, we talked, Saturday was our one class.

[00:32:14] Yeah.

[00:32:14] And it was started raining again that afternoon.

[00:32:16] And it wasn't going to stop going to keep raining all night that night.

[00:32:20] You know, it was raining the next morning when we got up and conditions were worsening from what I was understanding outside because the ground was already saturated.

[00:32:29] And that just means that more trees are going to fall.

[00:32:32] Yep.

[00:32:32] Maybe more landslide.

[00:32:32] Maybe as far as we said died down.

[00:32:34] Yep.

[00:32:34] More landslides too.

[00:32:36] Yep.

[00:32:36] Yeah.

[00:32:37] So we got land.

[00:32:37] Okay.

[00:32:38] Maybe strong winds are going on, but the ground at this point was so vulnerable.

[00:32:44] There's no integrity in the soil anymore.

[00:32:46] So that's why not only with the wind, but we crewed systems now because the ground would have been raining for two or down the third day of rain.

[00:32:56] And there was flooding everywhere and the trees were falling.

[00:32:59] It was it was, we were even if we wanted to leave, we couldn't have really.

[00:33:03] Yeah.

[00:33:03] Because we know that, you know, people went out from our group went out to cut some of these logs that were falling trees that fell over the road just so people could get in and get out.

[00:33:15] And it was just us, but these roads go did they pass through PEPR, can't go to other residential areas.

[00:33:20] Yeah.

[00:33:20] And that made a way for these other people that were in the area.

[00:33:24] And so just to touch on what you, what you said and what the Jordan said, this is still America and he didn't make anybody stay.

[00:33:33] He didn't cancel either.

[00:33:34] It's just fine.

[00:33:36] You know, if I want the opportunity to make a decision on my own, if something's going to be open and I want to take advantage of it, that'd be my call.

[00:33:43] Nobody else's fault.

[00:33:45] For example, we're all creppers, right?

[00:33:47] I was ready for this.

[00:33:48] I was prepared for this.

[00:33:49] This is a good chance for me.

[00:33:50] Yes.

[00:33:50] I know that I'm going to a natural disaster zone.

[00:33:53] I understood that as an adult, I'm making that decision and it's not nobody's fault on my own to step up and to face that challenge.

[00:34:01] It's still different than anybody else who goes on these television shows, these rival shows, you know, they know they're up to the test.

[00:34:06] They know what they're going to do when they go out there and they're walking around naked in Africa or freezing somewhere, you know, in Canada or you know what I'm saying?

[00:34:15] They know that the challenge they're facing and they're making a decision on their own to put their own skills to the test.

[00:34:20] And I appreciate that opportunity.

[00:34:23] Ryan and JB, you want to add anything else?

[00:34:29] Well, I...

[00:34:30] Yeah, go ahead, yeah.

[00:34:31] Oh, I mean, I would do this all again.

[00:34:34] I mean, I was definitely throughout the whole trip and I found out things that worked well and what didn't.

[00:34:42] And really, I had the tenacity to just push through it, which was really good.

[00:34:48] And you know, some of my prep helped people along the way.

[00:34:51] I was able to get my Starlink up and running at a hotel that had...

[00:34:58] was running off of generators.

[00:34:59] They had enough internet.

[00:35:00] There was like 400 and 80 plus people that didn't have access to the outside world and were panicking because they couldn't get ahold of their loved ones.

[00:35:10] And...

[00:35:11] It's so amazing that you have a spot to do that.

[00:35:13] So cool.

[00:35:14] Yeah, it was amazing.

[00:35:16] I'm still on Starlink. I love it.

[00:35:20] Because I was able to provide those people with that sense of comfort and that normalcy and being able to get out of the outside world.

[00:35:27] It also helped us get a hotel room, which was inadvertent.

[00:35:30] Right.

[00:35:31] But it was...

[00:35:35] I would do it all again because we got to help the locals in the process of it and we were thanked so much because of our presence there.

[00:35:43] Right.

[00:35:44] Yeah, for sure.

[00:35:48] Yeah, I don't think that Jasmine's giving herself enough credit for being able to provide that.

[00:35:54] So, and for the listeners out there who don't realize so, she drove from Washington State 2500 miles to this campground in Saluda, North Carolina.

[00:36:07] In doing that, she provided all the audiovisual components for the end for every single tent at the event so that we as presenters could do our thing.

[00:36:20] And I was kind of like, well, shoot, if my whole thing is it hinges on when I teach freeze drying for survival, that doesn't exactly lend itself to anything else.

[00:36:37] Like if I don't have a machine sitting there in front of me, which I'm not putting on a plane, I can't do a whole lot without presentation or some sort of visual.

[00:36:44] And my ability to do that was 100% due to the efforts of JB and, you know, for her to be able to do that and also be able to connect us with the outside world.

[00:37:02] Yes.

[00:37:03] I mean, you think about what we were able to accomplish just on that hillside with communication.

[00:37:09] We had people with chainsaws. We had people with food and other people because we were supposed to get food vendors that never showed up.

[00:37:16] We'll get pork chop out of all of his stuff there. All of a sudden, Jasmine left. We got to get her back because I want to make sure that that her company gets a shout out because she started a company to be able to do this for Rick and Jane.

[00:37:31] And, you know, this is pretty significant really for her to be able to do that and keep us going.

[00:37:38] It's beyond the entertainment. I believe beyond the entertainment.

[00:37:45] I'm trying to pull it up right now. I actually do have it in here.

[00:37:48] I'm just trying to find it real quick. Yeah. And she's down on the way there had to get a U-Haul and go drive there then fly back to South Dakota or then take the U-Haul back to South Dakota and fly in there.

[00:38:03] Then get a rental car from there and then that's the rental car brought down on the way out.

[00:38:08] Yeah. Yeah. And then she ended up in South Carolina for a while, but for those of you who are interested in reaching out to her as far as her business is info at B.

[00:38:19] B-O-N-D. Sorry, I'm spelling that wrong. B-I-O-N-D-I entertainment.com.

[00:38:27] Throw the link in the chat too of here. I think you did.

[00:38:30] Perfect. Yeah. Yeah. Throw the link in the chat.

[00:38:33] And I'll put it on the blog too.

[00:38:35] Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. It was flawless from my seat as a presenter at the event and from what I was hearing from other folks.

[00:38:43] I mean, it was unbelievable the difference just having her there for the presentation.

[00:38:49] And the workers.

[00:38:50] Also the work done.

[00:38:52] Yeah. The amount it took off of Rick and Jane and the entire Pepper Cante crew, it was a huge difference from the year before to that year.

[00:39:03] Like she did phenomenal. Yeah.

[00:39:06] So I mean on my classes, I think I did pretty well as far as things go.

[00:39:11] Most people appreciate my class and the things that I talk about when it comes to freeze drawing.

[00:39:16] And I actually had a couple that reached out to me a couple days after I got home just checking on me just to make sure that I was okay.

[00:39:25] And that I had actually made it home.

[00:39:27] And that's kind of the caliber of the people that attend this event.

[00:39:31] So I was really impressed with that for the folks that actually showed up.

[00:39:35] And I was, you know, I was kind of watching.

[00:39:39] So I essentially I was sitting duck flying in 2500 miles from home.

[00:39:45] There's not much I can do if something goes wrong.

[00:39:49] I mean, I'm totally at the mercy of whoever's willing to give me a ride until I can get a point to where I can get another ride or a flight out or whatever.

[00:39:58] So I was kind of coming at this at a different angle.

[00:40:00] And so knowing that and being able to be relaxed and just be like, man, I guess we'll see where this goes.

[00:40:10] I think that had a different perspective for me.

[00:40:13] It allowed me to just kind of sit back and watch these things happen and just be an observer.

[00:40:19] And some of the things that I really latched on to were the concept of who is actually showing up, who is going to do this.

[00:40:31] And I made it a point to thank the people who did show up to my presentation.

[00:40:36] And you know, I tried to do what I could to go to other folks and Doug's was an awesome presentation first time ever.

[00:40:42] I mean, did a great job.

[00:40:44] But I think, you know, in some cases it makes these are the types of events that separate the wheat from the chaff, as they say, where you start to realize when people are willing to show up and they're not and what kind of an impact that's going to have.

[00:41:05] And some people think one of the key people that I I queued in on that did not show up was one of the guys whose main presentation and he's been a contributor for ages is about having a group.

[00:41:22] But one of the things about a group is that you support the group, you know, you use stick it out and I think people don't realize when things go south.

[00:41:32] Some people don't show up.

[00:41:33] Yeah.

[00:41:34] And you have to realize that that's going to happen. You know, you're not going to.

[00:41:40] And even the people that are there now I wish I could say longer. I mean, I'm FEMA.

[00:41:46] I know.

[00:41:46] Yes, 100 200 300 700, whatever.

[00:41:49] But that doesn't necessarily mean that that we're out of it. You know, does that make sense?

[00:41:58] It does completely because when I got home, it was almost like like survivors from Morris or something.

[00:42:03] I was like, how lucky am I that I'm like over here worrying about like having to, you know, clean my trailer out and file a claim to get geared together, you know, when they're still stuck in it.

[00:42:14] And I'm just like, it was just kind of surreal.

[00:42:18] Also, just, you know, as far as it goes, like what was going on?

[00:42:23] I tortured like ground fared so well through that whole thing and then driving out and seeing what we saw.

[00:42:31] And as far as the down power line, some houses just split in half people to stand there like deer in the headlights piles of cars and tires just bulldozed into a pile on the highway.

[00:42:43] And, you know, just knowing that that kind of happened around you.

[00:42:47] And then my husband said, but have a take a gas has never lasted so long in the truck, you know, that we could get to the other end of South Carolina where the lines weren't so crazy at the gas stations and everything.

[00:42:59] I mean, everything just went so smooth for us that I really have to say it was just the grace of God.

[00:43:05] I have no other explanation for why.

[00:43:09] We did 150 miles.

[00:43:12] If it hadn't been for the other purpose because we came in so late, we were on the few people gave us some gas from their gas tanks and from the gas cans and we made it 150 miles before we actually had to stop.

[00:43:26] We actually.

[00:43:27] For us, often after Columbia, South Carolina, because it would intermittent.

[00:43:34] Oh yeah, just a math.

[00:43:36] Okay, so let's let's jump into some of the gear, some of the like what what three pointers on stuff that you did right versus stuff you did wrong.

[00:43:50] Let's start with JB since we got her back for me.

[00:43:55] I think with a huge blessing.

[00:44:02] It also helped, you know, not only during the hurricane, it helped when I was stranded in South Dakota.

[00:44:13] When car broke down.

[00:44:15] That was awesome.

[00:44:16] Is that a little what did you call it the.

[00:44:19] What's it?

[00:44:20] What's the name?

[00:44:21] What's the brand name of it?

[00:44:24] The Jackery right.

[00:44:25] You said that's an inverter instead.

[00:44:30] Okay, got you.

[00:44:36] A little 100 watt power inverter that you plug into like the cigarette lighter of your car and it converts it into AC power from DC.

[00:44:47] Yeah, I'll be just have those for camping in a van.

[00:44:49] Yep.

[00:44:50] I know what you're talking about.

[00:44:56] What else to get?

[00:44:58] That's your that's your primary or do we just lose?

[00:45:00] Yeah, she might fall in off.

[00:45:02] I'm in a loud environment.

[00:45:08] You're good.

[00:45:11] And I think the other things that worked out well, I guess are just having the amount of food that we carry with us.

[00:45:28] Water because we didn't have to strain on local.

[00:45:32] The local infrastructure.

[00:45:35] We were heading out.

[00:45:36] Right.

[00:45:37] That was a lot.

[00:45:38] But I didn't eat too much gear on this trip.

[00:45:42] Because I had to ditch most of it.

[00:45:51] Gotcha.

[00:45:52] How about you, Jordan?

[00:45:58] So for us, I thought I had done a good job at waterproofing our tent.

[00:46:04] Oh, but come on.

[00:46:06] We took it.

[00:46:07] But I realized, you know where they put the internal little mesh pockets hanging.

[00:46:12] Uh huh.

[00:46:13] I actually have to go back and I'm taking.

[00:46:17] Not liquid silicone like rubber silicone and I'm going in and I'm actually.

[00:46:22] Fixed it all of those internal stitch internal stitching scenes because no matter how much you scotch guard, it is not going to create a full water barrier.

[00:46:31] So we did have an issue of liquid leakage from those internal pocket points.

[00:46:36] So for us, it was more of a learning learning curve.

[00:46:41] Okay.

[00:46:41] So now I know I have to take extra steps here and here, which was fine.

[00:46:46] We didn't necessarily get what.

[00:46:49] Well, I did.

[00:46:51] I slept right next to a pocket and it kept breathing on.

[00:46:55] Nice.

[00:46:55] Yeah.

[00:46:56] 2020 all over again.

[00:46:58] But yeah.

[00:46:58] But I would say for so actually our biggest prep positive was actually Ryan Buford and his tarp trick to create us a little bit of cover to be able to get out of the rain.

[00:47:13] So because of that, we've learned we are going to look into investment in extra canopy just so we can now have one for all of us to be able to sit under and to be able to walk out from under our tents.

[00:47:25] So I enjoyed it, but it was definitely interesting to see what our gear handle with the rain and whatever gear couldn't.

[00:47:36] So for us, it's now an adjustment of upgrades of what's going to be good for which weather and what's not.

[00:47:43] Yeah.

[00:47:44] Yeah.

[00:47:45] Okay, Doug, you're in a you were a hammock tent and you got an awesome video out.

[00:47:49] You guys have seen Doug's video.

[00:47:51] Check it out in YouTube.

[00:47:52] Kind of commemorating the experience.

[00:47:58] Yeah, like it's 20 years for fine, you know, I'm an avid hiker and camper like this. This is passion.

[00:48:06] I love going out and I've hiked in every manageable condition and I've slept in every sub zero temperatures and I got every year for everything that you can think every season.

[00:48:17] On the note of waterproofing.

[00:48:21] It's important to note that as awesome as dynamic fiber is, we're sticking under it like I had a really expensive fiber tarp over my hammock system and it's got doors on the side actually looks like a floating tent after you put the ridge line up and hanging down, you know, and secure, you know, your hammock inside of the thing.

[00:48:44] It's like a floating tent almost.

[00:48:48] However, that being said, when you're constantly when you're in that much rain, you find out really that the thing is water for water.

[00:49:00] Well, I got a brand new roof of my house.

[00:49:03] And when that storm hit Illinois, the first day water found its way in.

[00:49:09] Really?

[00:49:10] Just just the first day.

[00:49:11] Oh, I just got a new one.

[00:49:15] My room from the big storms.

[00:49:17] I came through Texas earlier this year.

[00:49:18] Yeah.

[00:49:20] Water will find a way if there's enough of it.

[00:49:23] That said, my backpack, you know, I had Z packs.

[00:49:26] It's a very good, it's a backpack.

[00:49:28] It's also waterproof and all my stuff that came inside my backpack was all dry.

[00:49:33] The reason why I got wet wasn't because of my setup so much.

[00:49:40] My hammock straps, when they got, when I hung them up originally, I didn't take into account the sag that over time with maybe the rain in the ground.

[00:49:50] Or the trees just moving, yeah.

[00:49:52] The trees moving and you know what I was balancing because when that wind kicked in, even though me and Ryan was sleeping on the side of that mountain, the trees are tall, right?

[00:50:01] We were latched into tall trees and they were swaying.

[00:50:05] And when trees, two trees are swaying, you're like, you're like the yo-yo.

[00:50:09] Yeah.

[00:50:11] Yeah.

[00:50:11] Imagine what this would do to a person.

[00:50:15] I'm bopping up and down in this thing.

[00:50:18] In the process of coming down, my straps begin to stretch over time.

[00:50:22] Okay.

[00:50:23] And, and, and Ryan's my system inside of this cocoon.

[00:50:26] And basically a cocoon is a large insulated banana type thing with a zipper that so I'm, my hammock is inside of this thing.

[00:50:33] And you crawl into your hammock, you zip it up and it's isolated all around you.

[00:50:38] Well, the bottom was starting to sag over time and the water was coming down off the mountain and lightly touching the bottom of my cocoon.

[00:50:48] So the insulation was soaking up all that water.

[00:50:52] On the meantime on the outside, I'm a hot sleeper.

[00:50:56] So my heat is rising up in the top or the underside of my, my tarp.

[00:51:03] It's condensating now because the rain is cooler.

[00:51:06] Yeah, the rain is cooler.

[00:51:07] They are cooler than my body heat is putting off.

[00:51:09] And so every time a rain or something would drop on top of my tarp and things were falling from the trees, that water from, from condensation would splash down on top.

[00:51:19] So I'm getting rain coming up, soaking up from the ground in the bottom and collecting some moisture over time across the top.

[00:51:27] So it that's how I got wet.

[00:51:30] It wasn't my gear wasn't faulty so much as it was that I didn't prepare good up and keep my straps a little bit higher and tighter off the ground.

[00:51:38] And me and Ryan was kind of looking at the, you know, the next night and he said, man, I would let you a little bit tighter.

[00:51:43] I don't like, I like a little bit of static because I like to sleep almost like in the shape of the banana instead of laying straight across like the light.

[00:51:50] At least you can lay a little bit on your side if you don't have to.

[00:51:54] You can't do that so much if it's pulled tight at least I can come so long.

[00:51:59] And the thing that I think I would love to have had a system like what JB had with the Starlink she saved my tail not being able to communicate with my family.

[00:52:09] They were worried about me.

[00:52:10] My mom was freaking out.

[00:52:12] My mom was freaking out too.

[00:52:15] It's like I'm 52 mom.

[00:52:18] I got this.

[00:52:19] I got this.

[00:52:20] But it never goes away.

[00:52:22] Yeah.

[00:52:22] Yeah, and JB saved me and I was able to reach out.

[00:52:26] Not only did she save me in that regard but I was really worried that Ryan was saying the visuals for what I teach is very, very important.

[00:52:32] And so when I walk into my classroom and I saw all that stuff was said I had there's no power but she managed to give me power.

[00:52:42] Right.

[00:52:43] Whatever she did.

[00:52:44] Right.

[00:52:45] I know a miracle worker.

[00:52:47] She's awesome.

[00:52:48] And I had these these these televisions to go up these power.

[00:52:51] I was able to use my PowerPoint presentation with my clicker and my microphone.

[00:52:55] It was awesome.

[00:52:57] And she really she saved my tail in more than one way and I didn't get to thank her properly.

[00:53:05] I said it a couple of times I couldn't I can't say enough can't put my words much.

[00:53:09] I appreciate her and everything that she's done.

[00:53:11] She saved all of us out there.

[00:53:14] And then I wish we were taking some more proof boots, you know, more proof the boots that I had waterproof but they're like the ones that go like ankle like little bit of your ankle.

[00:53:23] I would like to have some taller like what Steve was wearing just kind of midway my center my calf a little bit.

[00:53:30] And that would make a difference.

[00:53:32] Yeah, I wear a solo boots and I have to give them a shout out because my feet were dry all weekend.

[00:53:41] I made sure I didn't go, you know, knee deep on anything.

[00:53:46] But yeah, my feet stayed dry.

[00:53:49] Also, I had just gone and gotten Christian and new pair of boots just a Walmart special because you know at that age, the feet are just growing like crazy.

[00:53:59] But those dry as well all weekend so there is you got to have boots guys.

[00:54:06] You better invest in me.

[00:54:06] What size do you wear?

[00:54:08] I wear like a size eight.

[00:54:10] I know I'm short but I'm waterproof shoe that is a size five and women's or three and children.

[00:54:20] You got to buy like a boys.

[00:54:22] Yeah, I do but it's so hard to find something to support quality right.

[00:54:28] It's hard.

[00:54:29] So I figured I asked you because you know the same height I wouldn't imagine your feet were a bit bigger.

[00:54:34] I know I'm short but I have feet.

[00:54:37] Yeah, my mom was like, like they're gonna be taller.

[00:54:40] Short little shit with big feet.

[00:54:43] So I got throw.

[00:54:45] Jasmine is putting here in the chat that it was Ken and Ken.

[00:54:49] Yeah, I don't know if that's like Ken and Barbie kind of a thing.

[00:54:52] No, no, no.

[00:54:55] Maybe actually.

[00:54:57] They probably didn't do that.

[00:54:59] Yeah.

[00:54:59] Yeah.

[00:55:00] I cracked a joke.

[00:55:01] She would not.

[00:55:03] She would be like that.

[00:55:05] Well, I'm gonna crack it and grab a hold up.

[00:55:08] So if I see a zing, I'm gonna snatch it, you know, snatch it up and run with it.

[00:55:12] You guys know me like that.

[00:55:13] Oh, it's not like I didn't sabotage you a proper camera or anything.

[00:55:18] Oh yeah.

[00:55:18] Yeah, you could talk about that all you want to.

[00:55:21] You know, I stole the hood with the eyes and the face still on it.

[00:55:25] Did you?

[00:55:26] Yeah.

[00:55:26] I had a rolling thing up the one that you sabotage my poster.

[00:55:31] My banner.

[00:55:32] I rolled it up and I forgot that I was even there.

[00:55:34] So it's either like two days before I get it off.

[00:55:37] I believe you don't know Sarah and her family had ugly eyes and mustaches.

[00:55:43] And I, they she was stuck them on the back side of my shorts.

[00:55:48] And you know what's funny is I forgot they were on there until later.

[00:55:53] I was sabotaging everything.

[00:55:54] I got the golf carts.

[00:55:56] We got a poster.

[00:55:58] Yeah, it was they got my posters too actually.

[00:56:03] And then they got the back of my old jigs old.

[00:56:08] Yeah.

[00:56:08] I told them, oh, I forgot this was completely on there and they left it on there.

[00:56:12] Nice.

[00:56:13] And then I had forgotten my shorts and I walked around with googly eyes and a

[00:56:22] mustachio handle for a mess that she put the rest of the day.

[00:56:27] I completely forgot it.

[00:56:29] We were so strong.

[00:56:30] Yeah, it was really wild experience.

[00:56:33] She watered my pinched her cheek.

[00:56:34] She's like, what are you doing?

[00:56:37] It was good.

[00:56:38] Maybe I'll put some of those pictures up in the in the blog.

[00:56:46] I'm not going to name who took that footage because his wife gets

[00:56:50] super angry.

[00:56:53] Oh, that's nobody here.

[00:56:55] Nobody here.

[00:56:56] So, okay.

[00:56:58] So here Brock always gives me a hard time about bringing our go bags because

[00:57:03] he's like we're in the trailer.

[00:57:05] What do we need to bring our go bags for?

[00:57:07] I'm like, what if we had to walk?

[00:57:09] Right.

[00:57:09] So we always bring our go bags.

[00:57:11] Guess what was in our go bags?

[00:57:14] Handsaws.

[00:57:15] And so we had the handsaws there.

[00:57:18] Yeah, we didn't have a chainsaw which is now on our road trip list.

[00:57:22] But having those handsaws and the hatchet was a game changer.

[00:57:27] So the go bags came in handy even in the trailer and the handsaws.

[00:57:33] My family's ability to adapt and overcome and work with each other

[00:57:39] and not get hot with each other and just stick together no matter what.

[00:57:44] Always a game changer.

[00:57:45] Oh, I mean every day that's a game changer.

[00:57:48] But when you're in a high stress situation like that,

[00:57:51] eventually one person's going to go down in stress.

[00:57:55] And when everybody else is just there, right?

[00:57:57] Just scoop them up.

[00:57:59] So, you all handled it in a very small space too on top of it

[00:58:03] to the point that we are now going to in the future

[00:58:07] and I nearly brought it is going to be bringing my indoor buddy heater.

[00:58:11] Yeah.

[00:58:12] Yes, I understand it can make the tent hot

[00:58:14] but being able to dry things out and even our clothes.

[00:58:17] Right.

[00:58:17] Once the trailer got like toasted, you know,

[00:58:20] there was no coming back from that.

[00:58:22] It was just wet and wet.

[00:58:24] So having to close my eyes.

[00:58:26] Right, because once everything gets damp,

[00:58:27] it's just hard to get anything dry.

[00:58:30] And like Doug said, that wet smell, you don't have to have that smell.

[00:58:34] Yeah, your sleep is stink.

[00:58:36] Right.

[00:58:36] I actually had to wash all of our clothes

[00:58:39] and then anything that was wet.

[00:58:40] Yeah.

[00:58:41] Twice.

[00:58:42] And then both times with vinegar,

[00:58:44] the second time on heat wash just to get the smell out.

[00:58:48] Yeah.

[00:58:49] And then in the future,

[00:58:51] we're never going to take another road trip without a chainsaw.

[00:58:54] We have them.

[00:58:55] There was no sense in us not having it available.

[00:58:58] So chainsaw is definitely going in there

[00:59:00] and then two five gallon tanks of gasoline will also be on hand.

[00:59:06] The other option is to add in a secondary tank to Brock's truck

[00:59:10] but we'll probably just go with two to five gallons.

[00:59:13] We had extra propane,

[00:59:15] but we didn't actually have extra gasoline.

[00:59:20] So that would have been a really good thing.

[00:59:22] And now those are kind of like the tips we picked up.

[00:59:27] Ellen did send me some tips that I think are worth sharing.

[00:59:31] So for her, she would have liked if we had better communications devices

[00:59:35] like if we would have brought our bail off banks

[00:59:37] so that even when we didn't have our cell phones,

[00:59:41] we would have had a backup.

[00:59:42] It would have also helped us in the car.

[00:59:44] She didn't have any cash on hand.

[00:59:46] She was depending that there was going to be the ATM there at Prepper Camp.

[00:59:50] Well, we didn't have any power so no ATM, right?

[00:59:53] So of course cash, small bills, it was a good idea.

[00:59:58] Rain jacket.

[00:59:59] So she didn't have space to pack a lot of stuff just like Ryan.

[01:00:03] She was flying in from another country.

[01:00:05] So there is only so much space for stuff.

[01:00:09] So she said she bought ponchos, but the ponchos just didn't last.

[01:00:14] And she had only so many hoodies and they just got so.

[01:00:19] But a topper for the pack or the cat was just kind of hard

[01:00:23] and so that's something that she would add to it.

[01:00:26] Wet wipes.

[01:00:27] I really liked the wet wipes idea.

[01:00:29] Me and Ellen took the last like lukewarm shower on Friday night

[01:00:33] at like 12 at night.

[01:00:35] Yeah.

[01:00:36] I got a cold shower.

[01:00:38] It was kind of lukewarm and then got freezing that.

[01:00:41] Pardon me.

[01:00:42] I don't know if you put your podcast as explicit.

[01:00:45] I do apologize, but as in the Marine Corps, we called it a Hobath.

[01:00:50] Wet wipes were there for a reason.

[01:00:52] Right.

[01:00:53] And we brought wet wipes luckily because after a cold shower,

[01:00:56] I did not want to do that again.

[01:00:58] No, no.

[01:01:00] And it would have been really nice to have some wet wipes so that

[01:01:07] it would have been really nice to have some wet wipes.

[01:01:08] So the comms again and then one of her other big tips was ask for

[01:01:14] help when you need it instead of being stubborn and trying to

[01:01:18] just bull head your way through something, but you know,

[01:01:22] instead of asking for help and being miserable when you could

[01:01:25] clearly ask for help right there and you know,

[01:01:29] people would be there to help you.

[01:01:32] So, you know, we had to do the same thing.

[01:01:34] My husband was like, I don't know how we're going to get this

[01:01:36] trailer out here.

[01:01:38] He was freaking out and I was like, you know what we're going

[01:01:41] to do?

[01:01:41] We're in a community of peppers.

[01:01:44] We're going to get help, you know?

[01:01:46] So yeah, never be ashamed to ask for help.

[01:01:49] That's why we're a community.

[01:01:50] That's why we're all here for each other.

[01:01:52] And so that was one of the things that I had told her,

[01:01:55] you know, we're always here for you.

[01:01:57] So please don't ever, you know, not,

[01:02:00] don't hesitate to ask for help.

[01:02:01] Don't feel ashamed.

[01:02:02] Don't let your pride get in the way.

[01:02:04] So yeah, so those are my list of who hasn't gone yet.

[01:02:11] Did you go Ryan?

[01:02:12] You're lucky gear man.

[01:02:14] Yeah, no I didn't go.

[01:02:15] I think my gear really held up.

[01:02:17] Yeah.

[01:02:18] And surprisingly well for, for what it was,

[01:02:21] I haven't really invested a lot of money.

[01:02:23] I mean the stuff that Doug's got on his hammock setup

[01:02:25] is just unreal and for the cost,

[01:02:29] for the price, you know,

[01:02:30] you better stay dry kind of thing.

[01:02:31] But my kids are pricing well.

[01:02:34] Some of the other things that I brought along

[01:02:36] that proved to be effective.

[01:02:39] I had a Zippo hand warmer,

[01:02:44] like a rechargeable hand,

[01:02:47] a rechargeable hand warmer that doubles as a power bank.

[01:02:50] And that actually was something that was useful

[01:02:54] because I found that in my,

[01:02:56] in my poncho once I got wet,

[01:02:59] I was a little cold.

[01:03:01] So having that as an alternative heat source inside

[01:03:04] just kind of kept me from getting uncomfortable.

[01:03:07] Yeah.

[01:03:08] And I also,

[01:03:10] I don't know if I showed you that or not.

[01:03:12] I think I might have shown Jordan.

[01:03:14] But it's called a HyperX Venom Go.

[01:03:18] It's basically a heat,

[01:03:20] it's a USB rechargeable heating device

[01:03:23] that you can stick on your body.

[01:03:25] I think that's the one you showed us.

[01:03:27] Yeah.

[01:03:28] It was really interesting.

[01:03:31] That's right, you did show us because we were laughing at it.

[01:03:34] What was the call right?

[01:03:35] But it's called a HyperX Venom Go.

[01:03:39] Okay.

[01:03:39] And it's designed to be able to help

[01:03:43] with like sport injuries for heating and massage.

[01:03:48] But like I've been dealing with some,

[01:03:51] I've been doing a lot of heavy lifting

[01:03:52] and it's kind of one of the things where it's like,

[01:03:55] well it works as a heat,

[01:03:56] but it's also a massager as well.

[01:03:59] And that was kind of nice to be able to help

[01:04:01] a couple of times, whether it was heat or the massage side.

[01:04:05] The one thing that I did find that were failures of mine

[01:04:08] were,

[01:04:09] and one more thing that actually did do well

[01:04:11] because so like,

[01:04:12] I can't really take a whole bath because you know,

[01:04:16] because you're not a host.

[01:04:16] Right.

[01:04:17] But I did pack some non,

[01:04:22] like it's a cleanser that's designed for men

[01:04:26] and it's basically a pits and privates kind of wash.

[01:04:29] Okay.

[01:04:30] But it's just a foam.

[01:04:30] Oh, like a loomy, but it's like the manva or whatever it's called,

[01:04:34] man, man, manny or whatever.

[01:04:36] Right.

[01:04:37] Yeah.

[01:04:37] It's something similar to that.

[01:04:39] And I just put that on my bag with my chemicals

[01:04:42] on my carry-on bag.

[01:04:43] And that was actually something that I hadn't used in the past.

[01:04:49] I'll just steal some soap from the hotel and then bring it to

[01:04:52] Prepper Camp and I'm good for the week, but I had a feeling

[01:04:55] that we might have water issues.

[01:04:56] So I brought that stuff along and that really served me well.

[01:04:59] Yeah, that was smart.

[01:05:00] The cash wasn't a big deal.

[01:05:02] So I'm glad Ellen brought that up because I brought a couple

[01:05:06] hundred bucks and my intention was to really support the

[01:05:10] vendors that did show up.

[01:05:12] But once I realized how bad this was, I wound up pulling back

[01:05:17] and rationing what I was planning to spend at the vendor booths

[01:05:22] because I was really concerned that we wouldn't be able to get

[01:05:25] fuel on the way out without cash.

[01:05:30] So that was something where it was like, well, I had to

[01:05:35] pivot there and I'm glad I grabbed cash, but I don't think

[01:05:38] I grabbed enough.

[01:05:39] So in the future, I'll probably rattle a little bit extra to bring

[01:05:44] along.

[01:05:44] Yeah, we had brought.

[01:05:47] We brought a good clutch.

[01:05:48] We always had a good clutch of cash.

[01:05:50] We just, we never really switched over to using cards

[01:05:54] and so when we finally did like switch over to using cards

[01:05:58] more, it's just so foreign to us that we always carry

[01:06:00] a good grip.

[01:06:01] But on the note of the vendor situation, guys,

[01:06:05] I have way overstocked my books right now.

[01:06:08] So I'm having my whole series on sale for just a hundred bucks.

[01:06:12] So if you guys want to go out and grab some of my books,

[01:06:15] I got them on sale right now.

[01:06:16] Speaking of which, Sarah, I meant to catch you before

[01:06:19] you left on Sunday and I didn't get to.

[01:06:21] I want to buy the Burgess book to finish my series.

[01:06:25] I don't have that one.

[01:06:27] So okay, you get a chance later.

[01:06:30] Yeah, yeah, or just like I say, you can jump over to

[01:06:33] my website.

[01:06:33] I've got my store there and Doug and I actually worked on a lot

[01:06:38] of covers and everything before we left.

[01:06:41] So these are the original covers.

[01:06:43] This is the last print of my original covers.

[01:06:46] So if you want them, you better get them now.

[01:06:48] I got them on sale for just a hundred bucks over there

[01:06:50] at the store just because needless to say,

[01:06:53] we didn't sell too many books in the rain,

[01:06:55] but we did have a blast with all our friends

[01:06:58] and the classes went fantastic on Sunday.

[01:07:02] So no regrets at all, but definitely have some extra books.

[01:07:06] You know what?

[01:07:07] Something I am going to mention for the Vita area is we were

[01:07:13] not opposed to barter and trade in and that I did a lot of

[01:07:18] barter and trade in that I went home with a half of a pork

[01:07:23] belly that I cut that up in multiple pieces.

[01:07:26] It would have been perfect for bacon,

[01:07:27] but I just don't have the time to cure it.

[01:07:29] But I have a good slab of pork belly.

[01:07:33] My freezer cut up into sections for different meals.

[01:07:36] I made trades with like animals.

[01:07:38] I actually got a dental extraction kit and a tooth cleaning

[01:07:43] kit.

[01:07:43] I've been looking for one of those that are affordable

[01:07:45] priced for days.

[01:07:47] And so you had nobody who was really opposed to trade

[01:07:49] in this year.

[01:07:51] Right.

[01:07:52] They'll be here in Myrtle Beach next weekend.

[01:07:55] So I had already told her when she came in,

[01:07:58] or her and Dave, you know, Dave and his wife that I would

[01:08:02] be David and his wife that I would be coming in to

[01:08:05] purchase some things.

[01:08:06] I just, unfortunately, that was just a chaotic weekend.

[01:08:09] So oh yeah, luckily as you travel a lot of the gun

[01:08:12] shows and a lot of the corporate conventions.

[01:08:14] So guys, final thoughts before we wrap it up,

[01:08:17] I am going to do a changing earth news tonight

[01:08:19] just because there is too much good stuff.

[01:08:22] You guys are welcome to stick around or sign off

[01:08:24] totally up to you.

[01:08:25] I'd love to hear any final thoughts that you have or

[01:08:28] anything like that.

[01:08:29] If we just want to go around the circle again one more time.

[01:08:34] You're going to make it really nice if FEMA would stop

[01:08:40] interfering in the help that is trying to go in there.

[01:08:44] Amen.

[01:08:45] That's a whole other issue right there, the government,

[01:08:48] every agency in this government right now is doing

[01:08:51] the inverse of what it was designed to do,

[01:08:53] every single one of them.

[01:08:54] And it's really sad.

[01:08:57] But right now we have a lot of people,

[01:08:59] I'm watching videos all the time that's going up

[01:09:02] because Starlink, it's the only reason why we're able

[01:09:06] to see anything at all coming out of that area.

[01:09:10] They didn't want it there right, which you want, yeah.

[01:09:13] Yeah, they don't want anything,

[01:09:16] they're just, and now that the water is starting to

[01:09:18] recede, they're finding bodies in trees like in tree tops

[01:09:21] that were previously in the water bodies.

[01:09:24] And people are trying to get in there and help,

[01:09:26] and they're being threatened with arrest.

[01:09:30] I heard a story about a guy who flew in in the helicopter,

[01:09:35] his son was in the helicopter, he flew this woman out.

[01:09:38] They told him he was grounded, he had to leave his son behind.

[01:09:42] They told him he had to ground, he's like,

[01:09:44] I'm going back for my son, they're like,

[01:09:46] if you go back in the air we're going to arrest you.

[01:09:47] When he got back with his son, they arrested him.

[01:09:50] I saw where North Carolina police in certain areas

[01:09:54] are telling FEMA if they choose to interfere

[01:09:59] and prevent aid or rescue, they will be arrested

[01:10:04] because there are so many times where I have seen

[01:10:07] where people have come in and were turned away

[01:10:10] and told to be taken to FEMA

[01:10:11] and FEMA now are just taking food

[01:10:14] and funds from people and holding it.

[01:10:17] They're not giving it to people, they're holding it.

[01:10:19] And how the heck are people supposed to take $750

[01:10:23] from the government?

[01:10:25] $750 which is a spit in the face.

[01:10:28] It's my mind, $800 a month just in food benefits.

[01:10:36] That's not including how this has been viewed.

[01:10:38] $750.

[01:10:40] Right because all of the funds were blown

[01:10:44] on all these illegal immigrants

[01:10:46] that we can't give aid to our own people.

[01:10:49] Now FEMA is trying to interfere to update their stocks.

[01:10:54] Yeah, it's absurd.

[01:10:55] But I'm glad to see North Carolina shares are now telling.

[01:10:58] Are tapping up and tapping up and getting the heck out of there.

[01:11:01] Also on my homepage of the website,

[01:11:04] Mercury One, Glenn Beck's, you know,

[01:11:07] his broadcasting program, they are like just getting

[01:11:10] out of Hawaii right now.

[01:11:11] They've been in there helping that long.

[01:11:13] 100% of what you donate from 3.1 goes to relief efforts

[01:11:18] they've had been working to get the internet hooked up with E-Line.

[01:11:23] They've been on the ground for a moment.

[01:11:25] One, if you watch Glenn at all, you'll see that

[01:11:27] what's going on there.

[01:11:29] They do 100% of what you donate goes to those people

[01:11:32] and goes into those relief efforts so it's somebody

[01:11:34] you can actually trust.

[01:11:36] Because that's the other thing is who you can actually trust

[01:11:41] with this program.

[01:11:43] Well, Grindstone Ministries is also another one.

[01:11:45] I saw a video but they're hiking indirectly

[01:11:48] and giving it to the residents directly.

[01:11:51] So Grindstone Ministries are another one of those programs.

[01:11:55] Yeah, I was also talking to Rick.

[01:12:00] You know what I mean?

[01:12:01] Samaritan's Purse is good.

[01:12:04] Samaritan's Purse.

[01:12:05] So that's another one.

[01:12:07] And then send it to the churches or to Tyron,

[01:12:12] TRYON, Equestrian Center.

[01:12:14] They're distributing and really helping doing a lot there.

[01:12:18] So there's a whole bunch of places you can go

[01:12:20] where it helps actually going to get to those people.

[01:12:23] And we talk a lot on the podcast.

[01:12:27] You cannot depend on the government in these situations.

[01:12:31] It is people that are going to help people

[01:12:33] and they need to get the heck out of the way

[01:12:35] and let that happen.

[01:12:36] So amen Doug.

[01:12:37] Thank you for bringing that up.

[01:12:43] You also have another announcement.

[01:12:44] Let's just kill that right now.

[01:12:46] Go ahead and...

[01:12:50] Sure, because we're talking about the FEMA

[01:12:52] and how FEMA has actually been instigating

[01:12:54] and inflating disasters.

[01:12:56] And you know they're actually making the system worse.

[01:12:59] I'm wanting to put on the next show

[01:13:00] I'm going to be putting out Tuesday

[01:13:02] where we'll be talking quite a bit about FEMA.

[01:13:05] And you know I've been brainstorming for the past,

[01:13:08] I don't know, probably close to a year now

[01:13:10] I think heavily about taking on another voice

[01:13:13] on my podcast Rising Republic.

[01:13:16] And I've been tinkering and playing around with the idea

[01:13:18] with you know what I'm like, I really want somebody here.

[01:13:21] I'm okay, I'm uncomfortable talking about myself

[01:13:24] but I mean the dynamics I have

[01:13:26] with just having a second voice on the show

[01:13:29] and bouncing ideas and dialogue, I love that.

[01:13:33] And I needed somebody that I could have

[01:13:35] a really good chemistry with

[01:13:37] and just talking had to be somebody

[01:13:40] that I enjoyed being around and talking to

[01:13:42] with like thoughts and somebody

[01:13:46] that's cuffed in the same fabric that I'm cuffed from.

[01:13:49] And I've been thinking about this for a while

[01:13:51] and I could never really know who to pick

[01:13:54] or who to even pitch an offer to.

[01:13:55] I asked a couple of people here recently

[01:13:57] and two different people threw the same name out at me

[01:14:01] and I never even considered it.

[01:14:03] You know, so it's surprising to me

[01:14:06] because I really didn't know if this person

[01:14:08] had already had experience podcasting.

[01:14:10] The person's already got you know a voice for it

[01:14:13] and you know I spent time with this person already

[01:14:16] and I'm happy to stay right here on your podcast Sarah

[01:14:20] that Ryan Buford will be joining me

[01:14:23] on Rising Republic.

[01:14:24] Yay!

[01:14:25] There we go.

[01:14:28] I'm stoked.

[01:14:29] You guys will be great, well you know

[01:14:31] it's DJ Inuit.

[01:14:33] What do you gotta do? See it was meant to be.

[01:14:35] Yeah the voice is the dynamic duo.

[01:14:38] Yeah, it'll be interesting.

[01:14:42] We're gonna rock this thing and see what happens.

[01:14:45] Yeah, I'm glad.

[01:14:47] I think you guys will really play well.

[01:14:49] I think that you know

[01:14:52] Ryan has a much more holistic view

[01:14:54] and you've been in every French

[01:14:57] of the government's line that there is

[01:14:59] so I think it'll be a great show.

[01:15:01] A great pick. Good job.

[01:15:03] It's gonna be a really good yin-yang kind of thing

[01:15:06] from two different perspectives.

[01:15:08] We view things the same way

[01:15:10] but from different angles.

[01:15:12] Right, exactly.

[01:15:14] That's what I mean.

[01:15:16] You'll have unique views to really bounce with each other

[01:15:19] yet that cohesiveness that really works

[01:15:21] and like I say it's DJ Inuit.

[01:15:24] The DJ Inuit Show.

[01:15:26] Oh, I'm just kidding.

[01:15:27] The DJ Inuit Show.

[01:15:30] Like a sitcom.

[01:15:32] What are we going to do tonight, DJ?

[01:15:36] Whatever you want to do, you're being...

[01:15:40] We're gonna have to have a DJ Inuit segment

[01:15:42] maybe go commercial.

[01:15:44] Well Sarah's gonna have to write some lines out for us

[01:15:46] because you know...

[01:15:48] Ryan's gotta have lines right now.

[01:15:50] Ryan does better regal.

[01:15:50] He's just not quite as organic.

[01:15:52] You just can't pull out the Russian out of nowhere.

[01:15:55] Yeah, exactly.

[01:15:57] No problem. We'll figure it out.

[01:15:59] We're also gonna do another Family Feud episode soon.

[01:16:04] So it's gonna be...

[01:16:05] I think we're gonna do Virgis as Family versus the DJ Family

[01:16:09] so I'll give you up to speed on that one, Ryan.

[01:16:13] And I can't give you lines for that one.

[01:16:15] You're gonna have to wing that one.

[01:16:17] I'll try to make it up.

[01:16:18] Yeah.

[01:16:22] Alrighty, to be covered everything

[01:16:24] any more final thoughts from any of the ladies?

[01:16:27] Ryan?

[01:16:29] I just want to say one thing.

[01:16:31] You know, I have absolutely no reservations

[01:16:34] for having gone and you know

[01:16:37] I wouldn't have done it differently.

[01:16:39] I think...

[01:16:40] I don't know what kind of background the listeners are from

[01:16:43] or the people who were attended the event

[01:16:45] whether they were speakers or you know

[01:16:48] people who were just interested.

[01:16:51] But I have to say after having observed

[01:16:55] what I observed at that event

[01:16:58] even though we were going through something

[01:17:00] that was really absolutely chaotic

[01:17:04] there was still something there

[01:17:06] that was the presence there that protected us

[01:17:09] and I think in a lot of ways that we were in that bubble

[01:17:13] with some of the best people

[01:17:16] that we could have been surrounded with.

[01:17:19] And for that to happen

[01:17:21] the way it did, when it did

[01:17:23] this year as up in the air as things really were

[01:17:28] I really wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else

[01:17:33] during something like this

[01:17:34] and yeah like Doug said earlier

[01:17:35] you know we kind of...

[01:17:36] we chose to go to this event

[01:17:38] knowing full well what we were getting ourselves into

[01:17:41] but I wouldn't have done that

[01:17:43] with some of my own family members

[01:17:44] to be completely honest with you.

[01:17:47] So I mean I think that

[01:17:49] really there was...

[01:17:50] we were protected and having that high ground

[01:17:53] really was a significant component

[01:17:55] to our own survival

[01:17:58] and our ability to get out

[01:17:59] and get by during that event

[01:18:01] so I think somebody was watching out for us really.

[01:18:05] Absolutely.

[01:18:06] I agree.

[01:18:07] I'm going to segue on that

[01:18:09] it was right at 100% correct.

[01:18:12] If I am going to be in any extreme situation

[01:18:15] like we were

[01:18:17] I am thankful

[01:18:19] that I was around other preppers

[01:18:22] and like-minded individuals

[01:18:23] that it was

[01:18:26] one of those situations that truthfully

[01:18:28] other people were probably freaking out

[01:18:30] and stressing about that

[01:18:32] it took a lot of that

[01:18:33] little bit of stress that I may have had

[01:18:36] and just washed it away.

[01:18:38] It was nice to be at even though

[01:18:40] and that I'm around

[01:18:42] like-minded individuals

[01:18:44] and like you said

[01:18:47] we had one situation

[01:18:48] where I believe God

[01:18:50] I mean honestly with all the prayers

[01:18:53] we had in the high ground

[01:18:54] that God was there for us

[01:18:56] because Willow herself

[01:18:58] was in a situation where she woke up

[01:19:01] told her to move

[01:19:02] and she moved

[01:19:03] and not even maybe two hours later

[01:19:05] dug her to tree fall

[01:19:07] and it was the top of two trees fell

[01:19:09] where her tent would have been

[01:19:11] and that was the only place

[01:19:12] in that entire campground in which tree fell

[01:19:15] which right there tells you

[01:19:17] we were protected

[01:19:19] we were safe

[01:19:21] which I mean it's terrifying

[01:19:23] don't get me wrong I'm not trying to underplay it

[01:19:26] but honestly if I'm going to be

[01:19:29] in any sort of catastrophic situation

[01:19:32] or emergency

[01:19:33] or SHTF

[01:19:35] I think we were honestly in the best position

[01:19:38] because we had other preppers

[01:19:40] other like-minded individuals

[01:19:42] and I can tell you this

[01:19:43] Ryan now has me at either run for my money

[01:19:46] because he is now my old man's man crush

[01:19:49] before his prepper skills

[01:19:51] on his lack of

[01:19:54] supplies

[01:19:54] and how well he does it

[01:19:56] and how manly he is

[01:19:58] when he does it so Ryan

[01:19:59] you and I

[01:20:00] you're now my competition at

[01:20:02] what I can be as a prepper woman

[01:20:04] because man

[01:20:05] you've got my old man

[01:20:07] Russian

[01:20:08] I'm going to leave that alone

[01:20:10] and life

[01:20:12] if anything

[01:20:13] but it's a positive though

[01:20:15] when you go into a situation

[01:20:17] where our prepper law skills are very different

[01:20:20] between myself and my partner

[01:20:21] he grew up very inner city

[01:20:24] I grew up very country

[01:20:25] so Ryan I don't mean it as a threat

[01:20:28] it's honestly probably the biggest compliment

[01:20:30] I can give because

[01:20:31] I mean

[01:20:33] Ryan's ability to just like

[01:20:35] stay cool too

[01:20:37] like in the face of

[01:20:39] you know

[01:20:40] even when there's things going on

[01:20:43] if he doesn't want to hear about it

[01:20:44] if he's getting upset about something

[01:20:46] you'll just see Ryan walk away

[01:20:47] that's his way of being like

[01:20:49] yeah after this

[01:20:50] I'm not going to be a part of this anymore

[01:20:53] so um

[01:20:54] right

[01:20:55] yeah

[01:20:55] but it's his ability to prep

[01:20:59] and to camp

[01:21:00] and to hold everything together

[01:21:02] with such amazing composure

[01:21:05] which is such amazing

[01:21:07] amazing skill

[01:21:09] that's one of those things

[01:21:10] I lost my composure for a moment

[01:21:13] I understand

[01:21:14] I was calm the whole time

[01:21:15] but the whole time I watched Ryan

[01:21:17] I'm like

[01:21:17] I want to be that cool

[01:21:20] right?

[01:21:21] yeah

[01:21:21] but it's

[01:21:23] the boys like lost the sauce

[01:21:25] I'm like are you serious

[01:21:26] we're finally ready to go

[01:21:28] yeah

[01:21:29] I hook in some of the trees

[01:21:33] no no

[01:21:34] we got them all

[01:21:35] my husband had actually picked them up

[01:21:38] so yeah

[01:21:39] we did pretty good

[01:21:40] but yeah

[01:21:42] I lost it for a minute

[01:21:43] the sauce stuck in the tree

[01:21:46] that wasn't the longest fall was it?

[01:21:48] no

[01:21:49] no Morgan was an animal though

[01:21:52] I was telling you

[01:21:54] pork chop

[01:21:55] pork chop was like

[01:21:57] oh you don't need that

[01:21:59] hatch it there honey

[01:22:01] and I'm like

[01:22:02] alright whatever

[01:22:03] and then Morgan's like here hold my beer

[01:22:06] like

[01:22:07] that guy was so awesome

[01:22:10] he just went right through it

[01:22:12] well it was Puma's and Ziploc's

[01:22:14] him and his zip zoom

[01:22:15] he went through

[01:22:17] this log had to be like

[01:22:20] at least 6 inches thick

[01:22:22] right at the diameter

[01:22:24] okay it was like a good size log

[01:22:27] I'm not kidding

[01:22:27] and he just starts going at it

[01:22:30] I was raised country to begin with

[01:22:33] and he just starts wedging it out

[01:22:35] due to it was gone in like 20 minutes

[01:22:37] I was like

[01:22:38] what

[01:22:40] okay you're awesome

[01:22:41] you're definitely welcome

[01:22:42] yeah he's definitely in

[01:22:45] so

[01:22:45] that was good

[01:22:48] my ex was so momentous with him

[01:22:50] and his little other blocks

[01:22:51] so I told him we needed to get him my boots

[01:22:53] and he was like nah

[01:22:55] nah

[01:22:56] we go through as the peppers

[01:23:01] is a learning experience

[01:23:04] so hopefully that is now his wake up call

[01:23:06] of next year of having

[01:23:08] either rain proof, a waterproof

[01:23:10] hiking shoes, boots or rain

[01:23:12] glossed

[01:23:13] oh I don't know

[01:23:13] I had a ball watching Doug Tiptoe

[01:23:16] across the field all afterwards

[01:23:18] cause his boots were all wrecked

[01:23:20] and he could only do the

[01:23:21] man tiptoe

[01:23:22] even my rain glossed

[01:23:25] were so wet at the pavilion

[01:23:27] when I was cooking breakfast

[01:23:28] or anytime I was at the pavilion

[01:23:30] I was barefoot

[01:23:32] just because the rain kept getting in my shoes

[01:23:35] yeah

[01:23:35] see my

[01:23:36] I was

[01:23:37] comfy comfy

[01:23:39] need some waders

[01:23:41] alright

[01:23:42] we almost brought some

[01:23:44] Christopher actually pulled some out

[01:23:46] and left them in the back of his sword

[01:23:48] oh no

[01:23:51] he probably would have been filled up

[01:23:53] but

[01:23:54] I want to throw in that

[01:23:56] like

[01:23:58] I don't think we should have done this event any different

[01:24:00] than what we did

[01:24:02] what Rick and Jane did

[01:24:05] because

[01:24:06] if we cancelled it it would have put all those people

[01:24:08] on the road in really dangerous situations

[01:24:11] and turning those people

[01:24:12] and it kept all the

[01:24:15] newbies distracted

[01:24:16] and preoccupied

[01:24:18] and safe

[01:24:19] in the location that we were at

[01:24:21] absolutely

[01:24:22] we were there all needed to be

[01:24:26] yeah

[01:24:27] I agree with that J.B.

[01:24:29] there was no way we were going to start moving

[01:24:31] trailers till that Sunday

[01:24:33] we needed time to assess what was going on

[01:24:36] if you have people to start freaking out

[01:24:38] even me if I would have tried to leave out on Saturday

[01:24:40] it could have just been

[01:24:41] a way bigger mass cause at least

[01:24:44] Sunday was still early enough

[01:24:45] that it wasn't like really locked down

[01:24:48] but

[01:24:49] long enough that they already had some of it

[01:24:52] cleared and stuff where we only

[01:24:53] had to do a little bit of work

[01:24:55] to be able to really start getting campers

[01:24:58] out of there and whatnot

[01:24:59] so I think it would have been

[01:25:01] and I don't think we

[01:25:04] realized how bad it was

[01:25:05] blocked in until Friday morning

[01:25:08] Dave Jones said he tried to go down

[01:25:10] the mountain to get supplies

[01:25:12] and then that's when they realized

[01:25:13] that both sides was blocked

[01:25:15] and then that's when our boys went out

[01:25:17] and started clearing things

[01:25:18] yeah

[01:25:21] Friday was definitely the worst for flying

[01:25:24] it was past like that

[01:25:27] that second river almost came up over the top

[01:25:29] everything yeah

[01:25:30] I saw some of those rivers coming through

[01:25:34] it was like a brand new river

[01:25:37] going right through Asheville

[01:25:38] cause it took me about four hours

[01:25:40] for a 30 minute drive

[01:25:43] yeah

[01:25:43] it was pretty intense

[01:25:47] honestly

[01:25:48] I'm surprised you did too

[01:25:50] I heard stories like people in the third

[01:25:52] floor apartment heading to roof rescue

[01:25:55] and all their cats drowned

[01:25:57] cause they couldn't get the cats out

[01:25:59] could barely get the person out

[01:26:01] so yeah

[01:26:03] just really a mess

[01:26:06] so amen guys

[01:26:07] I'm so glad to have spent this experience

[01:26:10] with you and

[01:26:12] of course you're all family to me now

[01:26:14] and not that you weren't before this

[01:26:16] but you know

[01:26:17] disaster tends to make the family grow stronger

[01:26:20] at least it always does with our family

[01:26:22] and I'm

[01:26:24] honored to have spent the experience with you

[01:26:26] and really glad

[01:26:28] and really thankful to the lord

[01:26:30] that

[01:26:32] he took care of us there

[01:26:34] everybody made it out safe

[01:26:36] and it was great

[01:26:38] to spend it with you

[01:26:42] likewise

[01:26:44] alright so you guys want to stick around

[01:26:46] for changing news

[01:26:47] are you going to bust out

[01:26:49] I'm going to go eat man it's 7 o clock

[01:26:52] alright get it on thanks Doug

[01:26:54] we'll see you next week

[01:26:56] see ya

[01:27:00] everybody else what are you guys doing

[01:27:03] I'm sticking around

[01:27:04] just sticking around

[01:27:06] I'm kind of hanging around until I have to go

[01:27:09] okay

[01:27:09] alright cool

[01:27:11] alrighty so

[01:27:13] I'm going to play some changing earth

[01:27:15] weather news

[01:27:18] compliments of our intrepid

[01:27:21] dream

[01:27:26] survive

[01:27:26] thrive

[01:27:28] this is changing

[01:27:32] earth

[01:27:32] news

[01:27:38] so this week we had

[01:27:40] an x7 and x9

[01:27:42] solar flares that came off the sun

[01:27:46] luckily

[01:27:46] they were both short duration events

[01:27:49] they thought it was going to have a bigger

[01:27:51] impact but they looked pretty weak coming in

[01:27:53] which is surprising because we had some m classes

[01:27:55] that have really really affected our planet

[01:27:57] so

[01:27:58] I was surprised by that plus it's going to be like the

[01:28:00] 1, 2 wampie punch because the x7

[01:28:03] was so slow and coming in

[01:28:04] but it looks pretty good

[01:28:06] they should be hitting tonight so we're going to know

[01:28:08] by the morning

[01:28:09] what systems were affected

[01:28:14] last week

[01:28:15] obviously hurricane

[01:28:16] halloween hit florida hit

[01:28:18] jorga hit north carolina

[01:28:20] Tennessee

[01:28:22] hurricane is headed for

[01:28:24] florida as of right now

[01:28:25] and then the second one is

[01:28:27] swooping up toward the UK we'll talk about that in a minute

[01:28:30] Nigeria

[01:28:31] braced for more flooding

[01:28:34] the camera room dam

[01:28:35] had to release water so 30 people

[01:28:38] actually died in that event

[01:28:39] they had another million people affected

[01:28:41] by flooding over there they have not been able to

[01:28:43] catch a break it is literally

[01:28:45] the greening of the seahara

[01:28:47] of the seahara

[01:28:49] the seahara over there

[01:28:51] Ethiopia

[01:28:52] 79,000 people have been affected by flooding

[01:28:55] on the ono river and then

[01:28:57] in Nepal pretty much the same day

[01:28:59] that halloween was hitting north carolina

[01:29:02] Nepal was getting hit

[01:29:04] by catastrophic flooding

[01:29:05] as well over 100 people

[01:29:07] were killed in the event on that day

[01:29:10] they're still doing

[01:29:28] earthquake hit poor osebu

[01:29:29] 4.2 earthquake

[01:29:32] in aromas california

[01:29:33] that's southern california they've been taking

[01:29:35] a lot of activity over and over again

[01:29:38] we're definitely keeping eyes on california right now

[01:29:41] vancouver bc

[01:29:42] and up you guys

[01:29:43] up there in washington also

[01:29:45] the cascadia you need to be on high alert

[01:29:47] with what's going on with the activity

[01:29:51] vancouver

[01:29:51] vancouver bc

[01:29:53] was hit with their first extreme snow storm

[01:29:56] on september 30th

[01:29:57] and then on october 1st

[01:29:59] there was 370 earthquakes

[01:30:00] or 2.0 or bigger

[01:30:02] biggest of which was a 6.6

[01:30:04] in tonga

[01:30:05] in the south pacific ocean

[01:30:08] and

[01:30:08] giant dust storm head

[01:30:11] moscow southern greece wildfires

[01:30:14] left two people dead

[01:30:16] and northern china had

[01:30:17] its first snow storm that trapped hundreds

[01:30:19] of cars and people

[01:30:24] on october

[01:30:26] on october 2nd

[01:30:28] 2024

[01:30:29] there was 361 earthquakes that were

[01:30:32] 2.0 or bigger

[01:30:32] biggest of which was a 5.5

[01:30:35] in the south mid-atlantic rich

[01:30:37] there was a 3.9 earthquake

[01:30:39] that hit southern california

[01:30:41] was downgraded to a 3.1

[01:30:43] and then napal was hit again

[01:30:45] with more rain

[01:30:47] more storms coming in

[01:30:49] really a bad situation going on

[01:30:52] over there

[01:30:54] hundreds missing

[01:30:55] at this time

[01:30:56] 70 mile an hour winds came in

[01:30:59] cause a huge dust storm up in

[01:31:01] polman washington

[01:31:02] thank you ryan for giving me the head

[01:31:04] up on that one i specifically went and found it

[01:31:07] because of you

[01:31:10] droughts in spain

[01:31:11] they're figuring out that

[01:31:13] instead of growing grapes

[01:31:15] or raisins and wine

[01:31:17] they're now switching over to

[01:31:19] pistachios instead

[01:31:20] they're having a boom crop

[01:31:22] so it just goes to show you know

[01:31:23] adapt and overcome whatever

[01:31:25] when life gives you lemons to make lemonade

[01:31:27] and if it suddenly turns into a different area

[01:31:29] we've got to be agile

[01:31:30] to be able to do that

[01:31:31] so that was my good

[01:31:34] happy news for the night

[01:31:37] the line fire in san bernadino

[01:31:39] has grown again

[01:31:41] and then october 3rd

[01:31:43] there's 319 earthquakes

[01:31:44] that were 2.0 or bigger

[01:31:45] which was a 5.4

[01:31:47] in popinou guinea in the south pacific ocean

[01:31:49] 4.4 hit southern california

[01:31:52] in iran and bahar

[01:31:54] there's flooding due to all of the

[01:31:56] water that was coming down in napal

[01:31:57] they had to do water releases which is now flooding

[01:32:00] iran

[01:32:02] typhoon crethon hit taiwan

[01:32:04] they were really worried about that

[01:32:06] being a gigantic smack on taiwan

[01:32:09] it did weaken

[01:32:10] thankfully a little bit before it came

[01:32:12] in however two people have

[01:32:14] died in that event

[01:32:15] and it's left to trail destruction

[01:32:17] they've been hit a lot lately by

[01:32:19] the

[01:32:20] cyclone

[01:32:22] romania, their agricultural sector

[01:32:25] has been pretty much devastated by drought

[01:32:27] over there so we're always looking at

[01:32:29] like the feasts and famine

[01:32:30] we have these huge rain events in some areas

[01:32:32] some areas are still drought-stricken out

[01:32:35] it's getting more and more extreme

[01:32:37] october 4th

[01:32:38] 2024 there was 361 earthquakes

[01:32:41] that were 2.0 or bigger

[01:32:42] biggest of which was a 5.3

[01:32:44] in the southeast pacific rise

[01:32:46] flooding in west and central

[01:32:49] africa has left

[01:32:50] 1500 people dead now

[01:32:52] 4 million people affected

[01:32:55] 1 million of those are just

[01:32:57] in nigeria alone

[01:32:58] there was severe flooding in bosnia

[01:33:00] they killed 15 people

[01:33:02] they're still searching for survivors

[01:33:04] hertsicovania was also affected

[01:33:06] they're literally having to

[01:33:07] dig things out of the mud

[01:33:09] we pretty much know what that looks like

[01:33:11] malawi southeast africa

[01:33:13] they are delivering food aid

[01:33:15] to 5 million people

[01:33:17] that are stricken by drought

[01:33:18] so the southeastern

[01:33:21] end of africa is just really getting hit

[01:33:23] by this drought while the north is just receiving

[01:33:25] all that water

[01:33:27] it's too bad we can't spread it out

[01:33:29] norway had a freezing storm

[01:33:32] intense snowstorm

[01:33:34] just really put everything

[01:33:35] in a standstill

[01:33:37] wasn't just winter wonderland anymore

[01:33:40] it was pretty much a chilly nightmare

[01:33:42] on october 5th

[01:33:44] of 2024 there was 306

[01:33:46] earthquakes that were 2.0

[01:33:47] or bigger biggest of which was a

[01:33:49] 5.7 in wellington new zealand

[01:33:51] there was a 3.6 earthquake

[01:33:54] in death valley

[01:33:55] malatoms in washington

[01:33:57] is having earthquakes

[01:33:59] 180 times the normal

[01:34:01] rate of earthquakes there so it's definitely

[01:34:03] eyes on that volcano

[01:34:04] we know that the volcano counts up

[01:34:07] that still hasn't changed even to this day

[01:34:09] huge dust storm hit gansu china

[01:34:12] the valley fire

[01:34:14] in boise i'daho

[01:34:15] grew to 3,500 acres

[01:34:17] they were issuing cold red evacuation

[01:34:19] alerts for that fire

[01:34:21] in bolivians in bolivia

[01:34:23] they are racing to save the belongings

[01:34:25] as wildfires burn their homes

[01:34:27] and there's evacuations

[01:34:29] for wildfire burning outside of

[01:34:31] mosco as well

[01:34:33] today october 6th

[01:34:35] there has been 342

[01:34:37] earthquakes that were 2.0 or bigger

[01:34:39] biggest of which was a 5.2

[01:34:41] in south pacific ocean you're not to

[01:34:43] there's a 4.0 earthquake

[01:34:45] in southern california and the inland empire

[01:34:48] florida is bracing

[01:34:49] for another impact from melton

[01:34:51] it has been upgraded now

[01:34:53] to i believe it's been upgraded now

[01:34:55] to a hurricane

[01:34:57] from a tropical storm but it is

[01:34:59] forecasted to be a cat 3 by the time

[01:35:01] it comes in and it's pretty much going

[01:35:03] to hit the same area that was just affected

[01:35:05] by helene so prayers

[01:35:07] for everybody there

[01:35:08] helene really took them out

[01:35:11] to storm surge

[01:35:13] kirk is on track to hit the e-u

[01:35:16] there's a severe drought

[01:35:17] in gyanna south africa

[01:35:20] which is leading to a

[01:35:22] large livestock die off

[01:35:23] as far as our volcano numbers

[01:35:26] still off the chart

[01:35:28] i've never seen 36

[01:35:29] erupting volcanoes on our planet

[01:35:32] in all of the years that i've been

[01:37:11] rapid fire news

[01:37:12] for today

[01:37:13] it was a long show

[01:37:16] so hopefully you guys got a lot out

[01:37:18] of it because i didn't really want

[01:37:20] to put a time frame on today

[01:37:22] so um

[01:37:24] was a

[01:37:26] harrowing experience

[01:37:27] that's for sure

[01:37:28] you guys still hanging out there ryan jb

[01:37:35] yeah

[01:37:36] still here yeah so what's the one with mountain

[01:37:38] adams that's right in our backyard

[01:37:41] 180

[01:37:43] times 180

[01:37:44] times the normal earthquake

[01:37:46] rate is going on for that mountain

[01:37:48] right now

[01:37:50] sounds like a pretty cool

[01:37:51] mountain hill is all over again

[01:37:53] right

[01:37:54] yeah it's definitely eyes on that volcano

[01:37:57] they haven't been talking to me near that

[01:37:59] um i've also been looking at

[01:38:01] the long valley calera that's down below

[01:38:03] mammoth

[01:38:04] mountain in california on the californian of adab

[01:38:07] border

[01:38:08] but yeah mountains is definitely making

[01:38:10] making some noise

[01:38:12] and i'm serious i've never seen that many

[01:38:15] earthquakes or that many volcanoes

[01:38:16] actively erupting on our planet

[01:38:19] i've had a chord number years

[01:38:21] and uh

[01:38:23] it's just kind of curious

[01:38:25] right

[01:38:27] yeah a lot of a lot of

[01:38:29] motion a lot of a lot of moving

[01:38:31] parts and weird stuff

[01:38:33] happening on weather fronts

[01:38:34] extreme weather

[01:38:36] seems like this year especially

[01:38:38] yeah with the polar shift

[01:38:41] you're looking at more extreme high

[01:38:43] pressures and more extreme low pressure

[01:38:45] so where those two

[01:38:46] collide with each other it is

[01:38:48] uh creating some crazy
