New Years Eve Comedy Special

This is it. This is the end twenty twenty five. As elated as I am to see this year ago, there was a lot of beautiful things that happened. It was a balanced year, you know. I guess for the average person, it was a balanced year. For me, it was a little bit of a catastrophe throughout, but that also shades away the sort of highlights that were this year. And there were many, you know, And I could do a whole whiny show about the wonders of this year. And many of you out there very familiar with my ability to wax about the meaningful things in life, not what we're gonna do today, not what we're doing today. We got a new setup, right This is our new look for the new year. This is it. This new look right here. The lighting on my face will probably be better as the year goes on. I'm still getting things figured out. There might be more of these. You see these lizards. I have a feeling there's gonna be a lot of lizards. Okay. Other than that, though, basically it this is the Everything about twenty twenty six is right here in this new setup, and how I'm gonna do video in terms of these live streams right, because this is it the age of which books are showing and what light is in the background, and which logo and which see we are hybridizing. Now, okay, last year we did this, we started this stream yard thing, we did live video. We played with the live video thing, and as I said, going into live video, the broadcasting network is it was born out of audio content. It was built through audio content. And the one thing that I needed to see happen happened as the last seconds of the year drain off. And I can't explain it, but the listenership on the podcast is back. Thank you all, Thank you all out there. I don't know what happened. I have no clue. It doesn't matter to me. Welcome you all of you out there who are new. But what I'm telling you is these little things between you and me here wherever you're watching, will be less. The podcasts will be more, the audio podcast will be more. This is just you know, you find out your realm, you have to figure out your domain, right, and that's what this is. It's always been that way for us. What we're looking for in twenty twenty six is call or interaction, not chat interaction as much and we're still gonna have our chat into our life stuff. But we can't do live podcasts, so we've got to do callers. Here's the thing. Every one of our hosts, I could say, probably with very few exceptions, came here through am radio, talk radio. We were born of talk radio, you know what I mean. And I think there's a big part of all of us that just want that, right, they just want that talk radio. What up L to survive over at YouTube, great channel, go check him out. I think there's a big piece of us that wants that, and a big piece of PBN is about doing what the hell we want. You know, That's always been a big piece and it's always going to be a big piece. It just is what it is. There's nothing anyone can do about it. L two survive. We got our first caller. Dude, I'm gonna hold you to that. Seriously, don't play with my heart. Do not play with my heart. Because we've wanted call in for a very long time, and we're gonna make it happen. In twenty twenty six, We're gonna get back to audio, back to call in. I want something that people can put on and listen to. And have. That sort of old am radio feel, you know what I mean. There's something to it, there's something about and now's a great time because people are emerging from their twenty twenty chrystalist times are getting tough for a lot of people. They got a lot on their mind. We're moving away from the sort of left right paradigm talking points that are boring. Right, the left. Does this and the right does that, right, and it's kind of boring. We can get people again. Remember people, remember people, remember people who had individual opinions. It's hard to believe, but it was a real thing. There was a time where people had their own opinions. They weren't moudi by the Internet. They weren't censored by the Internet, they weren't dictated by the algorithm. It was. There was a time. The big announcement today, garden Girl, what is up? The big announcement today is the New Year's Eve Special. Okay, let's get into that because that's a big deal. For years, we've. Sat around Preppercamp picnic tables, We've sat around round tables on podcasts, and Dave Jones, myself, Jay Ferg and numerous other hosts have always said we should do a New Year's Eve comedy special. It would be awesome. It would be great. It would be a blast, And tomorrow night it will be Tomorrow night, it will be it will be pre recorded. I will release it at nine pm. You can watch it at nine, watch it at ten, watch it at eleven. It'll probably be about an hour, could be a little longer. I'll let you know in the show description so that you'll be able to time it right. But I'll let you know in the show description how long we go. As of right now, we're gonna have a few drinks to celebrate the New Year, celebrate all that we've accomplished here at PBN, and we're gonna yack it up. There will be some skits. There will definitely be some skits that I'm gonna make myself. There may be a there may be, but I'm not gonna make any promises a multi person skit on the show live. I'm not sure if I have the time to bring that into reality. But there will be some some skits by myself, some comedy by myself. There will be comedy and jokes by Dave Jones, NBC Guy, and there will be other hosts dropping in as well. I'm pretty sure Jay Ferg's gonna join us, and I'm gonna put the call out to the host today to see who wants to hop in. Doesn't have to be a huge commitment because I know it's you know, it's a big night. But at the same time, it'll be very interesting. It's a prime pro that we It doesn't fit, you know, but we're peebien, you know what I mean. We we do the things that don't fit all the time. You know. We're what I like to be and what. I think is important for preppers at large is a reminder that you're a person too. You know, there's more to life than than you know the survival skills in prepping right, you are a person too, And they'll be a bit of that. They'll be a bit of that. But it's gonna be a blast, man, So add us into your schedule for for New Year's Eve entertainment. It'll be a ball. We will be reviewing twenty twenty five. Yeah, it's I got so many ideas, but I know for sure there's gonna be some funny skits. We're gonna make a lot of fun of me. Okay, I'm gonna get some help from my sons with that, and uh, that's just it. It's gonna be a blast. It's gonna be a I will be involved, okay, just so you know, but it's gonna be fun. I don't know, is this what life's all about? Or what? You know? What I mean, isn't this what life's all about? These sort of you know, it's it's about bringing those things into the world that exist an idea only and have sat there for a while and simmered and simmered, and all the years go by and you think to yourself, am I ever gonna get to this thing? That's what let your heart be light? Felt like two years into it, two years into writing a sixty six page book, like, come on, really, not really not that big of a deal, right, you start thinking this thing's never gonna come to life. And again the comedy show, same thing. The comedy show was born probably three four years ago at Prepper Camp as we sat in awe and watched Dave Jones just rip through joke after joke after joke, and yeah, it's hard to believe, you know, it really is hard to believe. So we're gonn to do what is sort of our best effort at a legitimate, you know, happy New Year's show, and it's it should be a blast. It should be a blast. I think it'll be a great time and I'm really looking forward to it. I hope you join us. Okay, that's not all I have today. It's just something I wanted to bring up at the front of the show to let everybody know what's coming. Make plans. It'll be pre recorded, it'll be downloadable. It'll be a podcast, it'll be a video. It may not be an audio podcast. I don't know. We'll see if it translates to audio, it'll be audio. But really what it is is gonna be a video, you know, piece of entertainment, the PBN, you know, New Year's Special. It's gonna be great. So, uh, where do I want to go now? I don't know. I don't know. I don't feel like being hammered down at the moment. I've got a bunch of notes in front of me. I've got a bunch of things to talk about. What's going down. Man. The local Prepper, Hey, local Prepper, I got an offer for you, buddy. Yeah, you're more than welcome, the local Prepper. We actually I met the local Prepper at Prepper Campaul. So we're talking about our big New Year's Eve special we're gonna do tomorrow night. We will be recording tonight. If you want to drop in for a hello and a quick promo, feel free, feel free, let me know, reach out to me. We best. We best communicate through X If you have my number, though, you can just text me. But we're putting together a really fun show that's going to be recorded tonight air tomorrow. It'll be comedy laden and fun and maybe a little boozy, and it's gonna be a blast. And like I said, I'm not at all opposed and you just opened my mind to this idea. Any listeners, okay, any listeners out there, any hosts, hosts of Prepper shows, adjacent friends of the network, if you guys want to pop in and I don't know, give us, give us your best wishes for twenty twenty six, talk about a great memory from twenty twenty five. Feel free, feel free, we will what I'll do. Reach out to me. However you reach out to me, I'll get you the link. You can pop in the show when you want, as long as you don't mind being patient. Because we might be in the middle of a skid or something. That'd be pretty cool, you know what I mean, that'd be pretty cool. I'd like to see a bunch of people pop in. We'll be recording tonight probably, I think around nine ish will record and then we'll release it tomorrow, So anybody wants to be in. L to Survive makes a great point about callers. This is a great point about callers. I see, I understand who you're pointing at. L to Survive. I get it. He says, if you want people to call it, and you need to have the shows on a regular schedule, Yeah, I think you're right, and I think probably to take that one step further. L two Survive, we probably need to think about what that schedule should be right. What is the optimal time? Because now's not right ten thirteen. As much as I enjoy doing my ten thirteen shows, that doesn't mean they have to go away. It just means our call in shows have to be different. What's the optimal time? L two Survive? When would you call in? What would be a good time for you to call and what time do you think would be a good time for people to call in the drive into work to drive home from work when they get home after work, probably in the evening, right, we probably got to go back to the old nine pm show times to get people to really call in, Let them get home, let them do dinner, get a glass of wine in them, get that liquid courage, and then call into PBN. That sounds about right. Yeah, I don't want to go down the path of what's coming in twenty twenty six. It's an easy crutch to lean on on a show like today, but really today, I'm not big on that. That's not what I want to get into. Oh no, how do I read those comments? How do I read the Instagram comments? Garden Girl just left me something about her child, and I don't know how. To get back there. How do I get back there? No, it's not happening, Okay, no. Problem, I'm sorry, garden girl. I would love to relay the message, but I don't know how. I'll tell you. The one and only thing I hate, or it's not that I hate it, The one and only thing that is a struggle with the new ghost phone wherever it is. That's the theme for cell phone used by the Way in twenty twenty six. For those of you who are interested wherever it is. Okay, the cell phone usage, the cell phone in general priority has dropped so far off the radar, it's amazing. Like I said, there's a lot of benefits to having a ghost phone. The biggest one I didn't see coming. Who cares about the phone? I mean, it really is. It's that that's my life now, So count it up. Count it up in your head. When do we start talking about it? June something along those lines. No later than that. It was around prepper Camp. Actually prepper Camp. I took two phones to prepper Camp. So I know I wasn't properly weaned off of my phone yet, but I was weaning right. And what really helped, I'll tell you what really helped with the weaning process with the ghost phone. One night, my kids are hackers, okay, and modifiers of video games in the Internet. That's they like to do. And one night, I don't know what my son was up to. I think he was trying. That doesn't matter. I could tell you and you would be like, well, I don't know what that means. Anyway, whatever it was required like a reset of my phone, my not my ghost phone, but the phone I was like clinging on to It's like chipped and battered, the s greens cracked. I didn't use it a lot, but I still it was still like a binkie, you. Know what I mean. It was like, oh, let me have my binkie so I can scroll through social media and whatever. And one night he erased everything on it, which I needed, you know, it was one of those things I needed. I wasn't gonna do it, it was. It took me another two months to give that phone up altogether, but I started to let my younger son play around. It was only on Wi Fi. It was, you know, it's basically like a tiny tablet at this point, has no cell network or anything. But he deleted everything, and then it was sort of like it was like he threw my cigarettes away or something along those lines, you know what I mean. And it was like that's it, and then I don't know. However, many months later, most of the time my phone is lost. Really, I mean, it's not a good prepper thing. But my wife has a phone, my son has a phone, so it's not like the innercontinental ballistic missiles are coming. We'll find out, right. So most of the time, though, I find that my phone is like laying on a table somewhere, first thing in the morning. Dead. It really has become a limited entity in my life, and it's it's way better. So the ghost phone itself was brought on to be this thing where like, you know, let's get Google out of everything we do, let's get Google from following us and all that kind of stuff. And really what it has become, man now, is like just it really is one of the best ways to get away from your phone. You follow me it really if you're having trouble, See, you have to admit that you're having trouble. A lot of people, a lot of people won't admit that they're having I don't think I was having trouble or anything like that, but I was definitely going on like roll sessions that were way too long, you know what I mean, Like an hour. Oh shit, an hour just happened. And I don't know, maybe that's not too long, maybe that's not a big deal, but it was a big deal for me, and it was a thing that had me thinking, you know, like what could I have done in that hour? It's so much shit I could do? Could I have done in that hour? And was it worth it. You know, what did I see? What did I read? What did I hear? That was worth an hour of my life? So but now it's gone and you don't miss it at all. I'm telling you right now, I'm never sitting around. I don't wake up in the morning ever and go like God, if I could just scroll X and watch people post violence and fighting and internet infighting and you know all that kind of stuff, you never miss it. So I'm just telling you, you know, I understand this runs completely counter to what it is I'm trying to do. Right, garden Girl says, the evening's a good time for her to call in. That's good to know, that's good to know. Yeah, I think we'll have to jump back to the evening shows. But L two Survives is admitting you have a problem is the first step. You have no doubt about it. But that's the toughest part, right especially because it's becoming the only thing. That's what's so devious about the cell phone used. It's becoming the only thing. So in other words, people are like, I work all day, I do this all night. I got this thing on the weekends, I gotta do. We've got to usher the kids to and fro, and I have this limited amount of time and the abandonment of hobbies, the abandonment of friendships and relationships, and you know, so many dudes out there I have no friends. Probably the same for women too. It all funnels you into the phone because the phone's right there and it's waiting for you, and it gives you everything you like and all that kind of stuff. So in many ways I could see I could see a lot of people being like, this is not a problem. This is all I. Got, you know what I mean, This is all I got. And damn that's not true. You know what I mean? That is not true. That we have to get back to hobbying. Seriously, the age of hobbying needs a strong return. It needs so much fun. I don't know how people get along without it. I don't know how you survive life without the creative process and a little bit of hobbying here and there from time to time. You guys think I have a list of demands through PBN and writing that is tremendous, Like that's fifty percent what I do on here with you guys, and what I write and the professional stuff I do is shoot it. Maybe less than fifty percent of what I really aspire to outside of PBN. Yeah, well whatever, different story for a different day. Have hobbies, have aspirations. Man, it goes a long way. It goes a definite long way. Preparedness topics, which we talk about here on the Prepper Broadcasting Network. My son wants to go on a winter camp, like in a few days, So we've got to get that ready. We've got to get that prepared. What do we need, really, what do we need we need in our winter camp set up? That's an important one, right, it's an important one. Garden girl over at Rumble says, our oldest started water coloring. Oh that's sweet. That's sweet. You gotta I'm telling you. Creativity is the antithesis. Right, it's a big deal. L two survive. I heard, I heard the CIA conducted a strone strike on Venezuelan territory on the inland. Is that what you're talking about? Interesting? Pretty interesting? We're going to flip Medoro, that's all. That's what's happening. You know. It's a middle finger to Putin. Why is everybody so freaked out that Putin's one of Putin's residents has got attached by the Ukrainian military. What I don't understand this. What war is so retarded anymore? You notice it doesn't make any sense. It's like, oh, we're at war. Okay, Well look here's a list of things to not do right. Oh, garden Girl, we can do that. We can definitely do that. What do you want to do, garden Girl says, fitness something I need to get back into. What do you want to do? Do you want to get back to running? Get a running group back fired up? We could do a running group in this winter season. I hate running in the winter, so it's probably a good thing to do. But we can definitely do some What if we used to use Strava, we could do Strava. We can find another app. We could do something them together as a group. We used to do these great runs where we would try to compile miles. That could be fun. I'm up for that. I'm born to brap echoes my thoughts. The phone screen robs life. I feel like my forties passed me by while I was on the gram doing nothing. It happens telling you, I felt that, I see it. I see it in my own kids. I gotta stop them. You know what I mean, it happens, it's a thing. There's a lot of people suffering it. There's a lot of people suffering it. And you know, I'm just giving you my two cents and my take on how it goes, because it goes. You don't realize how fast it goes. It's the ultimate drug. It's what it is. It's the ultimate drug. There's nothing like it. There's nothing like it because it's not only is it a drug, but it's as socially acceptable as this drug. That's what makes it dangerous, right, That's what makes it the most dangerous. It'd be one thing if it were met right, you run into somebody and like, dude, I'm just doing math all the time, Like every night I'm on meth. I'm just methed up, no teeth, you know what I mean. That'd be one thing. But see the phone, man, the phone is so devious because everybody's hooked and everybody's doing it, and you need it. You need your phone, right, How you live without your phone? How could you go out without your phone? Could you step outside the house without a cell phone? I mean there's no way. Just wait till fishing season comes back. I'm gonna have me a souped up I don't know if it'll work, but what I really want to try is to get me a souped up GMRS and reach my house with the radio and then no more cell phones fishing ever, because I'm close enough to my favorite fishing hole that I'm The terrain is shit. The terrain is so bad for radio. It's so bad that I don't know if I'll be able to do it. But we'll play with it. We'll see. I'll let you know. I have no idea what that means. I'll to survive. L two for surviving, Chat says, now that we aren't making pennies, will you still be able to give your two cents worth? Or do we have to start giving a nickels worth? Is that a song lyric? I get it, I understand it, but to me it kind of sounds like, I don't know, elaborate. My man, you stunted the show with that one. Maybe it was my fault for reading it out loud. So yeah, running lifting all of it. Well, I think we know what we have to do. Pbon Family for garden Girl, a long time listener and member. I think we have to kick January off with a with a good fitness routine, right, kick the year off with the Yeah, that's it. I love making those anyway, They're a blast. I love them old fitness routines and dry fire routines. And it makes a huge difference. I'm telling you in my own life, when the routines went away, I stopped doing them. I stopped posting them up here on PBN, I stopped talking about them. Guess what. I also stopped dry firing as much. I stopped using my what's it called the laser bullet, stopped using that as much. That stuff makes a difference, massive difference. I mean that just. That if you have a sighted pistol, right, or not a sighted pistol, but a pistol with a sight on it, right, Like. How well you know? That site? Of course has a lot to do with range time and that kind of thing. But what really gets you sort of in tune with the site, What really helped me get in tune with using my Crimson trace was the laser bullet target whatever it's called. I can't remember what if there's so many of them out there, I can't keep track, you know what I mean? But what really helped was doing that and doing that consistently, and then all of a sudden, I felt like when I was drawing, it was much less time to get that site lined up, you know. What I mean. There was there was a whole different wrist set for that site than there was for for iron sights on that weapon, you know what I mean. It was a whole different wrist angle. And then once I got it, got that wrist angle for the draw. Now it's like clockwork, you know what I mean. Now it's like you draw the gun and the cause you I don't know if you never used one. It's not like you when you draw the gun and look through the site that the dots there, you know what I mean. It's not like it's just there where you're looking like there's an adjustment period where you have to figure out how you have to draw the gun and where your hand needs to be so that the site is where it needs to be too. REPS REPS is everything, guys. REPS is everything, just is what it is. REPS is absolutely everything. So let's talk about heading out into the woods winter camp. It's a little bit of a photography shoot, not for me or for my son, but just he wants to get high. I don't know how else to put it, you know, but not an intoxication and elevation, right, He's interested in getting high and getting some pictures of the peaks and the valleys and the beauty of what it is to be in the Appellachians. Right. So it's gonna be cold, right, we'll bring the one tiger's tent, will bring the camp stove. Obviously. The mission will be to find a place that gets some sun, right, to find a campsite that gets some sun, and beyond that will really be fire, fire in all its forms. Probably some hot liquids. Will probably bring, maybe some instant coffee. I might bring a perk. Actually, I could bring the old campfire percolator. It's worth it. It's definitely worth it now that I think about it. Maybe some Yeah, I don't know. Those are the details I'm not too worried about. But you know, the big thing for me will be wood. That'll be the big thing. Wood starters. We talked about this in a previous podcast, about how you manage a wood stove in a camp in a tent right when it's cold. You can't make believe that a little stove like that's going to run all night. So the best thing for you to do is to have everything you need to make a fire like that, you know what I mean, So that you know, if you wake up in the middle of the night and everybody's freezing, fire like that, right, If you know that when you wake up in the morning it's going to be terribly cold, click the fire like that. And that comes from having the wood, having the tinder, having the kindling, having the uh, you know, the fire starting implements, so that fire becomes a no brainer and it can happen quick because the beautiful thing is the radiant heat from those camp stoves in a small tent will heat up your tent quick. It really does. Heats it up quick. It's minutes, five, ten minutes, and you're like, oh god, we're back. We're back. And the colder, you know, the better it feels. But it will be that, it'll be fun, it'll be great, it'll be an awesome time. And garden Girl still has the bigfoot fur. I make it all the time, all the time. I make it every three months or so something like that. The biggest stretch, obviously, when summer's there, if we don't camp or anything like that. I don't make it as much, but we do a lot of fires out back and stuff too. So you know, I build a seating area out back where and a couple of years ago I bought a projector so that we can project Maden video games Mario Mario Kart on the side of our shed and play together. L Two survive prepper topic. Do the people who are coming to your house have supply stage there? Do you have room for them to pre stage stuff at your house? How many months. Worse of stuff should they stash? Oh? This is a good This is a lot of questions, This is a lot of This might be a member's answer here to really go into this one deep because this is a great question. This is a huge question, okay, as it sits right now in the worst case scenario and the best case scenario. And I'll explain that there would probably be maybe three people max who'd wind up at my house really, but it would be no, it would be no easy thing. There's a guaranteed one person who would be coming for sure. What I've told you a bunch of bunch of times is to pre build your worksheet. And I mean literal sheet of work for people who are coming. If you think people are coming, if you're willing to take people and that kind of thing, then yeah, you need to You need to to be able to tell them and show them exactly what they're going to need to do to be around. Right. Is there going to be security that they need to do. Is there going to be surveillance? Is there going to be uh, you know, the duties around the house, the cleaning, the cooking, the duties outside the house, the cooping, the gardening, these kinds of things, right, watching of children. Whatever kind of things you have to do, they have to be done right. Training, training needs to happen together, forging, fishing, hunting, whatever, whatever it looks like for your situation. Put it down on a sheet of paper with initials sort of, you know, just like a sheet at work, just like a task list at work that would hang on the thing and oh I did that today, initial and make sure everybody knows what they're responsible for. This will eliminate a lot of conflict right off the bat, you know what I mean. Currently I don't have anybody's staging supplies at my house, though I do love the idea. Uh I learned it from Jayferg. When Jayferg was in Mississippi. She used to have a I want to say it was a family member, but it might not have been home where they stored together food storage and overflow. And I just thought that was a great idea and it wasn't even necessarily a preper thing fundamentally, and it was and it wasn't right. It was also sort of like a you know, money's tight this month, this year, whatever, and I know I got bisquick in the backup over it aunt NaN's or whatever. You know what I mean, Do you have room for two pre stage stuff at your house? How many months worth of stuff should they stash? Yeah? I mean that's the biggest thing, right What can you drop, what can you deliver, or what can you bring along with you? And then the realities of storage, which I always tell you that the realities of storage or everything, they're everything. You know, it's time, it's money, and it's space. Those are the three things that always get in the way of prepping. Right, So not just our house, but all preppers listening right. L two says he has plans for fifty people that are coming, but only two have some stuff and not enough stage here. I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm absolutely terrified for you. I'm absolutely petrified for you. Fifty people. Is amazing. That is tremendous, dude. All I would say right now, like, seriously, l two, we've been buddies a long time. You maybe you've done it already. You got your squared away, dude, I know you are. Just do the calorie. Just do the calorie calculations because in the water. Just do the calorie and water calculations and reevaluate. I'm just telling my heart is racing right now. I just thought you type the number in wrong. That is so many people. I don't even know where to begin to help. I have no clue if anybody in chat has any idea how to take in fifty people. You have a survival retreat, dude, you're running a fortitude ranch fundamentally, like that's that's amazing. But you also got people. The benefit of that is you got one hell of a group. If you can bring fifty people in, put them to work, and you know, it's a good group. Right, not bad? Yeah, not bad. I just yeah, just calculate that up. I'm a little bit of gased you know what I mean, that's a lot. It's a lot of people. That's a lot of people. But you know, if you dial in your food storage, I don't know what kind of space you got for bucketed. This is a bucketed for food storage calculation type of thing. Right, It can be solved. It can be solved. It's a number ten can kind of problem. If you get my drift, you know what I mean, forget about buying cans at the supermarket. It's a number ten can rack type of problem that you could you could pull off, for sure, hunting, fishing, forging for fifties, who you know what, unless you got hunters coming, You got hunters coming. I think I've seen enough of your property through YouTube to kind of get an idea that you can you can get some hunting done on that property, but I don't know what looks like. Yeah, you could, you could possibly pull it off. But I hope you got a good plan, you know, And I hope you got a conflict RESI plan, you know what I mean, like a like a serious conflict resolution plan, because that's a lot people are gonna disagree, people are gonna get upset, people are gonna have problems. You're gonna play the role of mediator a lot, I'm sure. So, yeah, I mean, it is what it is. It's a great it's a great thing in terms of numbers. You know, if you've got a lot of stuff to do, a lot of stuff on property that needs done, security, that whole thing. And I think you know, if you're more rural, this is probably what your life looks like. Right, you don't have a block full of people like I do, who are sort of in uh in already on securing an area. That's kind of the difference, right, So you got to bring people in from the outside. But yeah, I mean, if I had fifty people coming, whew, I couldn't do it. Actually, personally, I couldn't do it. But let's say, excuse me, let's say I had more storage space and more living space or something along those lines. I would at least make sure, Yeah, I would at least have them bringing three months bare minimum. That would be my minimum. Like, you got to bring three months worth of food to uh and probably i'd either I'd either say three months worth of food, food and some way to cook it all. Uh and definitely definitely hardware for cooking. Also definitely pots, pans, that kind of stuff, right, Yeah, that would be a big one. That would be a big one. Because people are gonna want to cook when they're gonna want to cook, you know what I mean. Sometimes like you could have meal times and that kind of stuff. But you know, people are people, man, they're Americans, you know what I mean. There's gonna be a transition period between SHTF and real life. So but yeah, i'd have at least three months. I might even have them bring if not bringing water because that's a pain. Then contribute to whatever your water plan is for purification, right, whatever your filtration and purification plans are, right, Like, we've got burkies on site, bring some filters, we're gonna catch rain water and we're gonna run it through a whatever kind of thing you're gonna do, right, Or our plan is chlorination, our plan is you know, the tablets, whatever. Contribute contribute to the water plan, you know, make the water plan known and contribute to it, because I think that would be huge too. Like water for fifties a lot, man, that's a lot. Even if you're just processing water for fifty it's a lot, you know what I mean. And then you get into summer months and you know, the the claundry, the everything that's gonna happen with fifty people. That's a lot back up power charge that kind of stuff. I've seen your recharge setup though. It's good. It's good setup. You got a lot of options, got a lot of little options too, which I think isritten. It makes a lot of sense now they see what you're planning for. So yeah, that's my take. Anybody else got to take. Let me know, do you have room for the people to preach stage stuff at your house? And how many months worth of stuff should they stash? You know, how many months months worth should they stashmember? Maybe three months ain't enough because remember my theory is that it will take. For people to come to you. It will be the last resort, remember that, you know what I mean. That's been my problem with mags from the get go. My problem with mutual assistance groups and survival groups from the get go that aren't living right next to you or around you is when are you going to use them? When? When are they going to come to you or when are you gonna go to them? Right? Because you join a mag, somebody's going somewhere and I always like to think about it that way, you know, I mean, what is the situation where you wind up leaving everything that you have, right, everything that you've the solar and the gardens and everything that you've done as a prepper. When's the moment that you leave all of that to go join some mutual assistance group on a homestead somewhere or some other place. And then take that mentality and plug that into Okay, well, what's that look like for the other members of the mag who I assume are gonna come? Right? You're assuming maybe they're gonna come to your property because it's bigger and it's better, whatever situation is. But like, and I'm not talking to you right now, number one hundred percent, I'm just saying mags in general and my thought process, what is it gonna take for the average family to abandon their home and say we're going here? Right, It's it's gotta be the worst of the worst situation, and then it's also got to be across the board regionally, right, So in other words, it's like, my area is real bad, that's ugly, Maybe I want to leave, or maybe some people in the bags really bad. Often they want to leave or they want me to come to them to help with security. I ain't leaving. Our area is fine, right, So you know, wrap your head around all that when it got It's always been my struggle with joining a mutual assistance group that's spread out over a region. To me, it's always been a matter of who's around, who's near, Get in, be cordial, make friends, build alliances. Use people's ownership and desire for stability in their own neighborhood community to your advantage. Because you're not. It's already pre built, right, It's already pre built there. Their house is there, their families there, their kids are there. They want place to stay safe, they want kids to eat and be happy and healthy and so on. Use that to your advantage.
