Can't one one say? We are less than a month away? Man, how's it going. I'm I'm getting nervous like I always do before when we get closer. There's just a lot of a lot of stuff to juggle. And with one hundred vendors and you know, fifty instructors, I'm hurting. One hundred and fifty. What do you call them? Up cats? So type a personality. So yeah, it's always fun. It's gonna be fun. It is going to be something this year. Man. I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to the Disneyland Prepper Camp for sure. Yeah yeah, well you had you had a preview of it. You saw it, So yeah, I got gonna be It's gonna be huge. It's gonna be huge, huge, It's gonna be great. After hours it's gonna be great for eating. Food's gonna be phenomenal. We know a little more about that now, right, Yep. It's gonna be pretty cool down on that concrete pad we're gonna have. They're doing breakfast, lunch and dinner. Right, breakfast, lunch and dinner. So yep. And if you you know, after you're done Prepper Camp, if you want to go eat in the restaurants, you can do that too. But yeah, they've got they've got some great fair and some great food, great menus. I think there's one more menu that we still don't have. Up yet, which is more of like a salad type menu sort of thing for people that want that kind of thing. Bouji bowls or whatever they call them. Oh right, yeah, we walked back the bowl. Yeah yeah, the bojie both kind of cool. They got a sushi joint there. Sushi and prepper Camp is an interesting thought. Yeah, not things I never thought would mix. No, well, that that would be at that sushi restaurant. Not not yea p epper Camp. Not during the event. Yeah, I don't know about that one. I don't know about that One's supposed to be hot that day, So those days. The only thing we were getting out of out of Orchard Lake was maybe a little large mouth bass sushi. Maybe maybe maybe. Yeah, man, it's gonna be a good time. And yeah, I think I'm gonna have a hard time pulling the pulling the instructors off of out of the arcade area night. I think acts throwing and tables and the racing car stuff that they got going on there, bowling. I mean, it's just, uh, it's it's gonna be it's I'm just I'm gonna have to have some sort of wake up call for all the instructors the day before, so I make sure they show up. Shot collar, yeah, shot colors. That would be good. Shot collars for everybody. If I got my class, I got my fifteen minute warning for class. That's but yeah, that's a that's a great idea. That's a great idea. Yeah, I don't have to worry about I don't have to worry about where they are. Chase him down. Just shot there, Just give him a shot in the neck and the like, oh yeah, it's my turn. I'm sure if you press chin hard enough, he could figure out how to get everybody a mesh. Note if they don't have that'll. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure he could do that. Great. We can do that, no doubt. So since we're talking food, we should talk about the big promo, the big promo code PBN sixty that you're offering all our listeners tonight. That gets get sixty dollars off your ticket and it gets you a ten dollars meal ticket for all this great food, which you'll spend that day, one, I can assure you. So we appreciate that, rick Man. That's good looking out for the listeners here at the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Sixty dollars per ticket, so that whether that's a student, whether it's a student ticket or you know, adult ticket, sixty dollars off. So that's that is a great deal right now. But that's only for only while this show is on from I think we I think we set it up for nine pm to ten thirty pm Eastern time, So. You gotta get them now. If you're listening to the rerun, you're out of luck. Yeah, still come though, be wayware, Yeah, it'll be way worth it. We're going to talk a little bit about a lot of time. One of the things I listened to some of our older shows, and one of the things I thought would be good to do tonight is to go over some of the classes, because we always have so many classes and mentioned so many classes, and in passing sometimes we talk about a class or two here and there. But I was looking through the classes before we hopped on and I said, you know, it'd probably be fun to talk about the classes themselves, because it is, like, you know, the main attraction, even though Tryon is such a big, beautiful place, it's the main attraction. Is that class lineup that you I mean, you are to put that together together, all those all those instructors, all those classes, all that and this year all new tents and everything. So we'll see how all that. Yeah, yeah, and see how that all goes. Yeah, yep. A lot of a lot of logistical issues we didn't have before, but uh, you know, because of because of where we haven't it. But it's it'll be bigger and better, that's for sure. Yeah. Every year I try to sneak away to a few I really want to make the Keith Keith Vincent from Common Sense Practical Prepper is a friend of the show. He's been doing The Mother of Mayhem with us weekly really not not weekly, in a while, but we haven't done done one in a while. Uh, we're due, but we When Abigail first got into office, we started doing a series called The Mother of Mayhem, named after her, and it's been pretty apt apt ye so far. And he's he's a Richmond there too, so we've been having fun doing that. So I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Keith in action at his active shooter class police officer background. I think that'll be a great one. I learned all my Oh he's on look at that. So if you want to follow Keith over at X, there he is. I don't think that's his picture. Is that your picture, Keith? It doesn't even look like you. That's the gray Man photo. Yeah, but that'll be a good class. Active shooters always good, always little details to pick up on. They're not going anywhere, I don't think active shooters in the United States and with Iran, I don't know though. Think yeah, yeah, we've got another terrorist attack to this morning in New York. Oh really Yeah. A guy looked like he was carrying a bucket full of gasoline or something and then threw it at the at the federal building where they have ice. FBI office and the the Immigration court lit it on fire. Inside of it looked like some cannabis canisters rolling and it looked like it was improvised explosives or something like that. There's those didn't go off, fortunately, but it was a pretty big flame. The guy had an axe, machete, three knives on him, so yeah, it was that was yeah, but the cops took him down pretty much right away, and it's lucky he's not dead, but they tackled him. I just wish I could get in the mind of these guys when they do their loading out, when they looked like when they decide like what, let's bring a machete, an axe, three knives, Like, how do you think that's all going to go down? Just I don't understand how that's going to play out in the head. There's always some weird comical load out that these guys have though. It's like, well, the number one killing device in the world is machete? Is it really? Oh? Yeah, yeah, I didn't use it all the time. I thought it was gonna have to reload. Run out of bullets. Yeah, well that makes sense, right, And they're easier to access than a lot of things, so that that does make. It right, yeah, in other parts of the world and that sort of stuff. So yeah, yep, for sure. So my recommendation on classes is to hunt down Carrie Olsner and just everything that that dude does, go to it. He's got an ambush class this year. I don't know if he did that last year or not, but no, that's I've seen his car won. Last year was so good fighting out of the car. I cannot wait to see the ambush class man that I know that's going to be so good. That he's so good man, I don't know where you found that guy, but he's great. Yeah, he's gonna He wanted to be able to take people and walk around and do some scenarios there in that class too. So it's it's it's you know what, how do you avoid being ambushed? So you understand that when you know the the inevitable ship hits the fan, and how do you and and if you are trying to protect you your property or your area or your community or whatever it is, how do you stop an invading force from from coming and getting you? Guys, it's better to take them out while they're on their way to your place than it is to have to fight them off when they're there, so it makes sense. Yep. And he's he's trained a lot of people all over the world on how to do. Stuff like that. And it shows, Yeah, it shows he's he's he's right down to the bone. It's he's great man. He might be one of my top teachers of the whole thing. I mean, it's kind of impossible because everybody's everybody's like, well, they're an expert at what they do. That's why it works. But you know, he's always leaves a class being like, wow, that person did a great job. You know what I mean. He's you know, he's a pastor too, of course, yeah you do. Is you shoot him through that? Yeah? Yeah, No, he's a great man. I love it. Uh. I'll tell you guys. Another thing. And I don't know if I hope this is on the big screen or on a screen. I'm sure it will be. But Forrest Garvin is going to do his area study map class mm hm and uh that things sweet. I've had that for like six months now, that area study map of his, that interactive map. We were playing around with it on a live stream. We were just searching flock cameras around and we accident we accidentally stumbled on like Dallas, and Dallas has two thousand some flock cameras. Yeah, it's good. And tell me the audience needs to understand never never point a laser at those things. Don't do that. Oh really, what's that do demons? No, you can get in trouble. Oh they go they look at you and go, okay, we'll follow him for through the twenty thousand dollars network or twenty thousand camera network back to his house. Yeah, yeah, I could see that. Well, they're just they seem to be just hack sawing them off around the country. That's what I see they are. They're gonna have to put them in solid poles instead of hollow poles. The hollow poles ain't cutting it. Yeah, I don't know. People are spray painting them. They're they're using lasers on them. They're you know, cutting them down. Drones with spray painting be the way to go. Oh we got a drone class. Yeah, and I'd like that guy man, he's always he's always been a buyer of the bunker beans every year at the disaster coffee booth. Yeah, he always gets a nod. But yeah, check out that area study map Pbon family that I if you go back maybe last week. I do have a code in one of the shows where we did the area study where you're playing around because it does all kinds of stuff that map. It's crazy. You can find everything, you can find mesh nodes in your area with that thing. It's pretty cool. Yeah, we we when when Forrest first released it, he did a class for my cert team and my Community Emergency Response team and just to show us how it all worked, and it was it was pretty amazing, amazing. It's really great. I mean, if if if you were moving, like gets an essential. I think if I were moving, I would be all inside of that thing to figure out where I'm going, especially rural too, because it's got all the prisons and all that kind of stuff's already preloaded, so you don't wind up buying a house out there in the woods, you know, a block away from a giant prison. Sometimes they're hidden out their new power plants, the nuke plants. Surprise me. There's way more of them than I thought in the United States. You start studying those things, it's pretty pretty wild. Must must have class is avoiding abduction with Sarah Hathaway. Yeah, I mean everybody, it's she doesn't necessarily I mean it's kind of geared towards women, but you got it. Just the information you get from that class alone is so wild. You'll never walk down the street the same again. As as a father and a husband, you like, go, wait a minute, these are these are things that that these people, you know, people near and dear to, you need to know and need to understand because it just happens too often and it's just too fast. You know. We talk about that all the time. I mean just when Jane and I go to the store. I mean, I'm I'm doing Overwatch the whole time. When you're in a parking lot or at a gas it only takes a matter of seconds for somebody to pull up in a and a white van, slide the door open, grab somebody, and then they're gone and most likely you're never going to see him again. Yeah, yeah, I always I find it, Uh, it's always good to stare at people. You phone, there's no situational awareness, you know, when you're in an open space like that, that's that's uh, you really have to pay attention to what's been going on around you? Yeah, no doubt. She does an amazing job of that. And then if you get fired, you can go learn how to beat people up with her. Also, yep, because she's great with that one. The butchering class is always phenomenal. M. I've never done Jerry Jerry be. We may have henison, we may have venison. There might be a may be a maybe breaking down deer this year. Maybe. Oh that's cool, that's it, that's really cool. But you know, the skin will not be on, so we won't get anybody crying about Bambi. Uh. That's an important piece of the puzzle though, man teaching people how to skin a deer. Or or any or any animal that you can trap or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, James Davis doing his thing, Mark falling clean medicine in dirty places. Is he new? I feel he's new. Yeah, he's another another special Forces guy that so it's it's it's kind of dovetails in with the you know, active shooter type thing. I got it. It's traumacare, but it's you know, in a in a bad situation. So yeah, like stop the Beli class and a number of other things. So I like that man. Yeah, I'll definitely be looking into that. We got a colloidial silver. That's always a good one. Oh day hike prep with E. J. Snyder, that should be fun. Yep. Oh, that's a good I bet he's got all kinds of nice little tips and tricks in that one. Yeah. Or if you're hunting or any of that kind of stuff, if you're going to be going out, you need to you need to be prepared and understand what that can happen. And that kind of dovetails with you know, how Not to Die in the Wilderness class by by Andrew. Oh Yeah, I love Yeah, Yeah, Big Pig Outdoors Yep. Andrews the man. He's he works for the Forestry Service or the Park Service or whatever US something, and he has a huge territory in Tennessee, and he tells some pretty interesting stories about people who didn't plan properly and the weather changed and then sudden they found themselves stuck or got dark or you know, and so it was quick how to survive and in that kind of situation and the stories he can tell because of the things he's seen and the failures that people have had or they get an injury or something like that. But you know, he talks about for three days trying to locate somebody who didn't stay put and kept moving and they were always a day ahead of them. So yeah, yeah, you gotta stay put, man. That's a that's a huge piece of the puzzle. Yeah. We wrote a whole kid's book about that. That was our World of Ready book too, all about stay and put if he get lost in the woods. But uh yeah, so folks, while we're on live, see we've got some more you watching live, use the code PBN sixty over at preppercamp dot com to get your tick. It's while the show is up, and you'll get sixty bucks off all the tickets you buy, all the tickets sixty bucks off. So and you also get a ten dollar meal ticket on top of that. The food is gonna be excellent. We visited all the restaurants. I walked in all the establishments. Trust me, I know. And I walk into a restaurant, I did it for a long time, whether it's a good one or not. And the food is gonna be good. It's gonna be awesome. It's great. So take advantage of that now while we're live. Yep, Now your big mustat for the Ladies is the Firearms for Women class. Nicole Wallace's class for the Ladies shooting. She really blew me away last year watching her to leaving I think I was leaving Jordan's class actually, and I stopped. I wasn't attending the class, but I stopped just to watch it on the hill there and she was talking about holding a baby. She was talking about being able to shoot one hand for women, and it caught my attention because you always hear, you know, every every big tough guy I've ever listened to talk about shooting, he always says, nobody shoots one hand, you know what I mean, like angster stuff. And then you hear this lady telling you better learn how to shoot one handed you might have a baby in one hand. And I said, man, that's that's the kind of thinking. I like, what are you really going to run into? You know, what could this really look like? Has Jane always reminds me women are built differently than men too, and you know what works for And that was one of the things we had to call teach a private class for our executive committee for Prepper Camp one year. And it's like the things that she was teaching the women was not something that we had ever seen before, but just how it works. And yeah, sometimes that's just so good man. Somebody just figures something out through experience and not just you know, echoing another situation or another thing they watched. And Diane's back. The Canning Diva returns for year two. Yeah, eat that one. She's gonna do preserving for pets, which is, you know, people spend more money on their animals than they do on their kids. And dog food, now you got to share food. Most dog most dog food is absolute crap. Yeah, you know, if you want to be able to take care of them when the grid goes down, or just buy a bunch of food that you can prepare for them that's good for them, that you can then can up do whatever, preserve it and then you got you know, food for the next week or two weeks or whatever it is you want to do, because yeah, you know, my dogs feed off of the farm. They don't eat any of that crap. They don't eat any store bought food, any grains, any kibble, any of that's the stuff. If you really understand the ingredients, it's just like you know, the GMOs are in there. Oh yeah, oils are in there and that stuff. It's like fat and meal. The fat is the fat is good for him. Yeah, it's energy, especially for you know, working dogs like I have. It's good for them to have the fat. But you know it's the right type of fat too. So yeah, of. Course the homestead reality class, that's it. That's an essential. Oh yeah, yeah, what what stories Jane's gonna tell about stuff I did and stuff she had to do and yeah, that one's that. And I cringe when she's doing a new PowerPoint because I know it's going to be new stuff that is not going to be not going to reflect good well on me. But yeah, but it's important. Man. I was talking to a guy today on the phone, like a business call, and he runs a prepper website, and he was like, I've been homestead and and you know what I found out. Homesteading sucks if you work ten hours a day, and so does your wife, you know. So it's it's one of those things that like sometimes for the right person, the best thing to do maybe is not to get into that, you know. I mean, there's no way to be sustainable any other way. But you know, in the short term, it might not be the thing for you. And I think Jane is one of the few people man that, especially now now it's like homestead paradise everywhere you look. Jane's one of the few people that I'll be like, this is gonna be rough. You better put your girl pants on if you want to be a homestead Yeah. Yeah, well it's you need to go know what's going on. But we uh, you know, when we got into it, we were, yeah, literally jumped off the cliff. Especially for her. She was not a was not a prep. From carrying shopping bags to carrying baby oats. Right, yeah, yeah, but you know, you learn by doing. And I preach all the time that the living off grid and having a homestead and feeding yourself is it is the best way to go because you know, you don't need to make a lot of money. And we got somebody teaching how to start a home business. I guess, yeah, it's a goober. It's it's. People don't know James is teaching that class. Good one. Look, I'm gonna give you five businesses you can start in a weekend. All right, You can start you know, a business a weekend for five weeks straight. If you want, We'll go open the class with that, and then I'll give you all the gory details on how to at them up and all that kind of stuff, because you know exactly the point that we're talking about, right, Rick and Jane their home, they have the time and the energy to take care of the animals. The same thing with my situation. I'm here all the time, so it's a different animal. If you can, if you can get money coming in from home, and then you know, when things like COVID happen, you're already you're already settled in. It's not like, yeah, we were just sitting around and we didn't have to go anywhere during COVID. Yeah, you don't have to worry about losing your job or losing you know, a certain amount of income or something along that line. Either. You know, you're already working hopefully, you know. I don't know what would happen, to be honest with you, if they tried to pull that again, I'm not sure. Wouldn't be pretty, I tell you that much. Now, you do have my name spelled J. M. A. S. Walton on the on the picture. I don't know if you know that which one is that? Where is that and the. Descriptions. Yeah, well, ye, we'll have to fix that. I don't Jamas Walton. I kind of like that though. That's my native name, Jamas. The reload ammunition class is great. That's one of those weird things people don't get into until and then, like you don't get into it most of the time, but once you get into it, you're like, oh, I should have been doing this all along. This is way better. Yeah, that's it. That's a good skill. And the red are phenomenal cheaper, so yeah, yeah, and you put them base ingredients on the shelf. That's one of the things I like the most about it is when you put the powders and the primers and the bullets themselves on the shelf and you're like, oh, Okay, I got something. This feels more prepper than just throw Although thanks to that company Amo Squared, I haven't been doing a lot of reloading lately. Ammo Squared is a They're an amazing company that does like an Ammo Auto BI for you month to month mm hmm, on any budget you want, and it's just kind of spoils you a little bit. Yeah. So it's like a Layoway plan for Ammo. Basically yeah, and maybe once you accrue two hundred dollars worth, they'll ship it to you free. Oh a medicinal plant. Well walk with Stephanie Hine. Huh m hm. Why is earth botanicals? Yeah, that'll be a good one. Yeah. She she taught her first classes last year and for Prepper Camp. I mean she teach her for years and years and years, but everybody loved her, just loved her. I thought she was great. Yeah, that's a good one. Chins is phenomenal. I went to Chins last year, his first go round with the meshtastic. That was great. Anybody who's into that stuff, man, that's a huge one. Mister Manny and Chad asks, do you do you or do you not torch fire your chicken coop for diseases? I have done that before? Have you ever done that? I think you just broke up for me. Okay, he says, do you do you or do you not fire? Torch fire your chicken coop for diseases? Torch fire? Well, he said torch and then he said fire. I don't know. I think he means smoke. I've used smoke before to get rid of chicken mites in the chicken coop. I don't know if you ever had that point. Oh, oh, you mean while they're still alive. Yeah, I don't. I don't torch them while they're still alive. But yeah. No. One time I had really bad mites in the coop and I started a fire underneath the chicken coop and just put green vegetation on it to get it really smoky, you know, and it worked. It killed off all the mites. You know. The the best thing for mites and lice is diatamacious earth and. Just put it. Oh yeah, I'll take it. I'll put them on the chickens themselves. Put it on the chickens and put them Yeah. I mean you could throw it around in there, but you put it on the chickens themselves. Yeah. And then uh, Jordan says the same thing. Yep, yeah, diet tamacious, dietamacious on the chickens and the food storage and the gardens. And Jordan's she her class is phenomenal. Her class was like one of the only classes I ever went into thinking there's no way I'm gonna be able to do this thing that she's teaching. But I'm gonna go anyway because it's Jordan and I want to see And then I left the class going, oh, man, I could I could turn fur into a hat if I had to. Now that's the craziest thing about her. You'll you'll everybody listening will feel that. You'll walk out of there and be like, wow, I could literally turn fur into into something. Even if you just get as far as a spool yarn. And Mary Elizabeth will show you how to tan hides. That's yeah, that's a good skill to know. But I'm sticking with the fibers because that's that's some work. But you should try it. Yeah, definitely try it. Yeah. I mean that's the way we had clothing for years and years and years. That is wild, isn't it. It's so crazy that a process that labor intense if somebody figured out without someone telling them, like, this is how you. Do it well originally yeah yeah, but you know, you you kill a skunk and you can make a skunk skunk kit skin cap like Curly of the Three Stooges, that would be kind of cool. Yeah. Trash Bag Survival with E. J. Snider, that should be good. Yeah. Yeah. People don't realize that that's one of the most important items to have on you if you are out hiking in the woods or in your in your backpack or your small little survival kit. There's so many things you can do with with a trash bag. Oh yeah, you know, from insulation to carrying stuff and water and solar still yep. Dave Jones always touts the trash bag as the you know, the protective suit from all kinds of stuff. Yeah, fall out, yeah, biological chemical you know, he always does hefty bags, Tape around the wrist, tape around the legs. You didn't invite that guy back, did you. Yeah, he's gonna be talking too. He's gonna be doing his He's gonna be doing his Elvis impression, Dave. Dave is an unstoppable force. Man. What is he he's doing by nuclear biological chemical warfare? I'm sure No. It wasn't until I saw this forward to his book. I think maybe I don't know if you wrote it or I can't remember where it came from, but you know, yeah, his bio. I'm going, wait a minute, I've known this guy for years. I didn't know he was I didn't know he was that. I didn't know he was that high up on the on the nuclear totem pole, like the second guy a second command there. It's like, holy crap, this this guy. I always thought that just kind of you know, just funny joking around whatever. I mean, that's some credentials. That is Dave or upper power man Dave. You would never know because he's so normal. He's so down to earth and he treats you. One of the things about me because I met Dave so long ago. When I met Dave, I was like, I don't know, I don't even prepping like two or three years and I have no military experience, and I met Dave and I'm talking to him, and you know, I never of all the things we've done together, shooting guns and doing all kinds of preppers related stuff. I never even had like a sideways look from Dave, like I never did anything weird where he was like, why would he do it that way? You know what I mean? He is like maybe the most accepting guy I think of all to be that far up there. And I don't even know if I have all of his background in that bio because I wrote that like four years ago from him, and Dave forgets as many impressive credentials, as he remembers, I don't know if I have that. He was in Pennsylvania Emergency Management. He took the phone call with the guys on on the flight that went down in PA. I mean, like everything Alaska State Trooper has got, so he's done at all. It's crazy, great guy and all he wants to do is have fun. What's the parasites class man? People are going to go to that one. Stephanie ready for that one? Yeah? Yeah, parasites? Look who came to dinner? Yeah that's cool. Yeah, that's cool. That's I guess she'll do how to what to? What to? Uh? Okay, recognizing symptoms, exploring testing options, and learning about time honitor herbs that been used to address parasitic imbalance. The pictures alone are worth going to the class of the nightmares. What was that show we called Aliens Inside Us or something like that, Aliens Inside Me? There was a show on Discovery. It was all about that, I think, so, yeah, yeah, it was crazy. It was popular though. I bet I'm telling you that class will be popular. Ivermectin baby, get your I and if you're worried about parasites, that'll do it. That'll do it. So, folks, we got up top. You see, we got the running ticket for those of you who are hearing the episode only, we have the pup chromo code PBN sixty over at preppercamp dot com get tickets now. Tickets are also going up in price right on thirty first. No, we're done selling. This is this is the last two weeks of ticket sales. Oh, we're done with the tickets. It takes us. It takes us two weeks to get all the registration stuff ready and get you know, everything ready for people when they show up. And I gotta do some things and juggling some classes and some different spots just to paste based on what we can for registrations. And so the big isn't the best deal left? Yeah, oh yeah, there's this is it? This is it? So July thirty first, at midnight, ticket sales end completely. So we are then sold out. That's yep. If you're on the fence, I know a lot of you got them already. But if you're on the fence, if you're over there in the Instagram world, you want to come to Prepper Camp this year, try on International Western North Carolina beautiful spot for to go in general, just to driving through the mountains of western North Carolina. Yeah, get them tickets. Or get them for a friend, or have a friend, get them if you know somebody that's interested. I'm amazed when I look at the ticket sales and people answer where they heard about the event, And I would say a good fifty of the pe people are heard it from a friend. So you know that's not a bad call. Yeah, you can sacrifice a brother to go to the weird Prepper event, and if he comes back alive, you go next year with all your Buddies'll come back and changed. Man, I'll tell you that much. But uh, so I don't remember. This guy's got to be new because I don't remember doctor c Thomas Brophy. Yeah, cool guy, doctor. Prepper, doctor prepper. I see that. Yeah, he's a he's a neurosurgeon. It's a brain surgeon. Oh and he's going to talk about the the basically that what's going on in people's heads when with mob mentality. Yeah, so we all need. Yeah, yeah, and how it turns it into uh you know, how it gets to be the way it gets to be. And that's a great way to understand what's going on and you know what you need to do to get out of there or to diffuse the situation. You had the neuroscience of team takeovers. That's what I want to know what's going on there. Maybe you'll have some insight on that one. And he's got he's selling these these great kits for medical stuff, including things like the aforementioned parasitic killer. That you he's got those kinds of kids. Yeah, I love those kids. Those are cool. Yeah, there's a lot of companies doing that now. I'm glad. I'd like people to get that stuff. Yep, for all of you folks out there who are obsessed with the thermals. We got the night Vision in Thermal Optics class. That's what year two or three? With that one year two? Weah, I mean yeah, yeah, I think it might be. But yeah, that is a great class. And the demo on Friday night is is so good and you get to look at multiple different night vision goggles scopes as well as multiple different thermal ones and he explains all of the differences. I mean, other than okay, this one's more expensive, Well why is it more expensive and why is that important? And what does it do for me that? You know? The other one won't do for me. Yeah, and it's just an investment. Folks like, yeah, well, what's you know, what's a what's a clip on to your current scope versus having to take your scope off and put a new scope on. That's a thermal scope every time you want to use thermal those kind of things. You know, Yeah, that's huge. You wind up spending thousands on a thermal scope and then you go, well, crap, I don't really use that that much. Well, and let you know, shoot my coyotes or something. I get get night vision scopes and I've got thermal scopes, and when they came out with a clip on, I'm like, holy crap, I just stick that on my already zeroed in scope and just look through my regular scope to see the thermal image, and. You're out there depending the rabbits and then chickens. I bet daytime, I take the thermal off and can use it the same way. So yeah, yeah, I mean there's a lot of classes that'll save you money at prepper Camp. There's no doubt about that. You know. Think if you can go down rabbit holes spend thousands of dollars to find out something like what Rick has found out. He could have a helmet, he could have a thermal scope, and then you know, you get a chance to see what was really out there before you spend those thousands of dollars because you can go in the hole quick with the old thermal and I R stuff. It is sweet though. It's no doubt about I'll tell you what it's. It is a force multiplayer between you know, whether whether you're shooting at rats or raccoons or you know, two legged predators. It is a huge force multiplayer. Oh yeah, especially if it's somebody approaching your property and you know where you you know where to hide, and they don't know where you are. It's almost unfair, right if there is such a thing. But Greg News doing cashes, Huh, the B Man is doing cashes. I don't think I ever saw his cash class before. I like Greg though. He's great. Yeah, he said he wanted to do something different this year. I mean, he's doing this B class still. But you know he's a guy that he is multi talented too. I ought to bring him the Dirty Man Safe. He should. I got to talk to those guys. I got a really great safe cash company called the Dirty Man Safe. They were sponsors for a while. Well they basically are still sponsors, and they sent me and awesome, it's a big giant PVC that's really well thought out, well designed. I might bring it for him. I'll reach out to him and see if he wants me to bring. It's really cool sort of how to you know what I mean? You could take it apart live and show everybody. I'm sure he's bringing stuff, but I like Greg Man. He's good. He knows his stuff. With the bees, well, it's you know, for the cash, for the you know, the prepper treasure thing. It's not just about burying something and what to bury, it's how do you find it afterwards? That's how do you How do you create some little map and some ways to know and you know, how many paces from this tree? And what happens if that tree isn't there anymore? And that kind of stuff. Yeah. Yeah, And when you're in an urban situation, man, you gotta be careful. They widened roads and all of a sudden, your whole cash is doing the dirty man Safe comes with something that's pretty interesting. They send you these little metal uh bits to bury, these little balls to bury in the general area of the cash so that you can kind of, you know, either either let yourself know you're on onto it or let someone else know that there's just a bunch of crap metal around and it's nothing here, you know what I mean, so you can use them kind of either way, that's a good idea. There's a lot, there's a lot of little details in there. I'm sure his class would be chock full of I can't wait. They're all great man. And then you, of course, uh, the one and only Rick Austin shows up and does the the retreats and the Survival Garden class. Which one's your favorite to teach? Which one's my favorite to teach? The garden and the Lives Dog class, just because people don't think about, you know, how important it is to grow your own food and and they don't really understand what's in and how easy it is if you do it right instead of doing it the way man's been trying to do it for years in the conventional way. How fast it grows, how you know it's it's the garden of Eden. It's the you know, without without pesticide, weed killer, no GMOs and it's I mean, to this day it amazes me from the pictures that we took, how fast how things changed from one year to two years to three years. And you know, suddenly you get twenty foot tall trees that were seven feet two years before, and and they're not only taller, but they're wider and they bear more fruit. And over time, the you know, the branches go up and then they go out because of all the weight of the fruit, and then they stay that way and they become thicker and they can hold more fruit every single year. So you know, it's it's it's just amazing. And that is what you know, feeds us and feeds our animals, and. It's the whole thing right on that there. Yeah, and the animals, I mean, I just I just love doing the animal stuff just because they are more fun than the garden is. I mean, once you plant the garden, it's like you have to harvest. Yeah, but the animals are The animals are interesting because you know, they all got their own personalities, they all got their own little ticks whatever it is. And especially the goats. So no, we know you love the goats. Yeah, anybody loves the goats. Yeah. Can you imagine telling telling past Rick that he's going to be, you know, sending out Christmas on them. I was, I was television producer Universal Studios, and never in my wildest imagination, but I think I would. I would love goats. They were just weird looking little animals with alien eyes, and but yeah, there's they're smarter than the smartest dog and basically have the mentality and the personality of a five year old child. So it's it's at that perfect age where they still love you, they still want to be around you. You know. Ye all my five year olds are gone, those days are long past. Yeah yeah, mine mine continue forever. So yeah, there you go. You just crank out some more. Goats are a weird thing. Is a certain point in your life, you look at them. You don't even know what people have them for. You're like, what is it? What does a goat even do? Just eat grass or something, you know what I mean, until you get into like the whole milking and and. Oh yeah, well the meat, the dairy good thing. Yeah, the dairy goat thing. For us, it's just all the dairy products you'd buy in a store. You know. We we make chain makes and cheeses to cheesecake, the cream cheese to you know, basically ice cream, everything that you would normally buy in a store, and it's so much healthier for you because it doesn't have all the it doesn't have any of that crap in, it doesn't have the the the GMO stuff, doesn't have the hor hormones that we would get. And cow's milk and you know, you're not if anybody's lactose intolerant the cow's milk, they will not be the goat's milk. So it's just it's it's great, and you know, it's one of the perfect foods out there. Yeah, it's an alluring thing. Man. We almost had them a couple of times. I'm sure we'll wind up with some goats here eventually. We haven't had them on Proud we can have them, which is amazing in Richmond City. Oh you know it's an overlooked Uh. Well, they're the best entertainment too. I just know the goats. Yeah, I would love to see goats and pitbulls hanging out. That would be really fun. And you know, James says, I'm not I'm not really making I'm not taking advantage of the fact that you know, there's there's multimillion dollar views on cute goats doing cute stuff. I could just do videos on that stuff without teaching anybody anything. Any long about that. Nowadays, I probably would make you some handsome cash because. Oh yeah, there's a million million new videos of goats running around people, baby goats doing stuff. I'm like, what are you kidding me? And I'm spending all this time teaching people how to raise goats. I should just do goats goat videos of funny stuff, them being clowns. I mean, yeah, it's rough. You come out here, like, just listen to me for an hour. Things are rough. You need to get prepared. Everybody's like, shut up, I'm gonna go watch the goat video. But you know, it is a testament to like the overwhelm that people are facing right now, you know what I mean of, like God a mighty yeah. And that's the important thing about prepper camp, you know, prepper camp is a dose of sort of preparing for the unf you know, the uncertain. But it's fun. You know. It's not like watching a video where they tell you you got to prepare because X, Y and Z's happening tomorrow and doom and gloom and all that. It's really it's a blast. Oh yeah, for us, there's not, you know, it's it's the opposite of fear. People that are there are like, okay, yeah, I don't have to be afraid because I know what to do. You know, I've got I've got stuff, and I've got knowledge that's gonna protect me and my family. Yeah. Well, I've been saying for a couple of years. Given the state of affairs around the world and here at home, it's like prepping is basically an antidepressant. Now public is so so beaten about the head and neck with bad news that like, you can really get some antidepressant effects. You put some food up, you start growing some food, you start solving some of these problems you see in the headlines every day. Carry a gun. You want to antidepressant man, Carry a gun. You'll be feeling way better out in public. You won't feel like anybody can do anything crazy to me and there's nothing I can do to stop it. It's a big difference. It's a big difference maker, for sure. Oh in tinfoil hat, of course, folks, not that I you know, every year, every year they knocked my socks off, even more crazy than the year before. Last year was insane. Last year I got to bring more. I mean I wound up giving away things that were mine last year out of my truck, I gave away an I fact that was mine. I was like, I gotta give more gifts and prizes out. These things are crazy, I was. I was amazed at how elaborate some of these guys got. I mean really, yeah, it's wild. And you know, I'm a sucker for the kids. So, like you know, last year was the first year we had to do categories because we had several kids come up with some great designs. But the adults are like, how long you've been working on you know what I mean, They're they're amazing. So don't miss that, man, And you can you know, anybody can can bring a role of aluminum foil and join the competition. It is a great time and people will blow your mind telling you, I can't wait to see this year what they come up with. Man, we had we had to I don't I don't think it was last year. I think it was the year before we had a completely aluminum foil COVID nineteen mask that that's like a Hall of Famer. Yeah, I guess eventually we'll have to have the Tinfoil Hat Hall of Fame. Oh yeah, we'll definitely. We save all the pictures every year. Yep, We've got them all throughout the years. Oh man Rick, thank you for making us a part of part of Prepper Camp. It's been so much fun from PBN. Dude, you have no idea. It is our It is like our literally our family reunion every year. Like there's no event, no moment when we all or at least the bulk of us get together and be together for three days and we have a blast. We really first started doing this as yeah, everything was done on social media. We didn't know anybody I face to face personally. Yeah, and when we started having Prepper Camps that you know, you you're meeting people that you've talked to for two or three years on social media. It's like, oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm I'm you know, a minute man seventeen seventy six, Like I would have never known, you know. That's how I met Chin. Yeah, I met Chin that way. Chin was at a booth to two or three doors down from mine. No, I know it. I didn't even have a booth. That year was the first year I was looking at a booth. He was a booth few doors down and I'm sitting there talking to guy and he turns and goes, is that I am Liberty? I hear over there? I said, oh, man, and he said, I'm Chin. And I knew Chin like before all the all the fiction fame, Like, I didn't know any of that stuff about Chin. I just thought Chin was cool from the get go. Yeah, and then everybody started telling me, yeah, he's in this and this and this and this, and I was like, oh, I had no idea. Man, I'm terrible with the with the prepper fiction. I don't have any good background in prepper fiction reading. I gotta step my game up. But when you have a lady on the network who has like twenty seven books, Sarah Hathaway, that's true, you know what I mean, you got a lot of catching up to do. But uh sorry, Sarah. Yeah, Sarah is great. I mean I just I just love Sarah just oh your attitude, whole family attitude, just so positive always. And then like her son, Christian sounds just like her. And he walked in like it's I don't know, like five thirty in the morning into the office one year because he was going to help out with with parking and help out with you know, cleaning the chairs off in the morning, you know, get the do off of them. And I'm like, what the hell is Sarah doing up here? And they turned around. No it's not Sarah, it's him. I thought for sure it was her. Just yeah, he's ability worker. Man. He's a great kid. He is great. Yeah, yeah, love him. The Halfaways are excellent company all weekend long. They're fun, man. Yeah, we have fun with them every year for uh yeah there and what all they've come up with. Man, that that audio drama is in its fifth season now that we all voice that is crazy. Five seasons of that thing that happened fast, That happened super fast. Man. So, folks, sixty dollars off ticket price preppercamp dot com use the code PBN sixty to get the last final discount available before the event, right, the last last discount, the last tickets available you got, Yeah, you got minutes. Take advantage of that promo code. We'd love to see you there and you'll have a blast. You'll probably wind up going back to try on all right, maybe one more before we hit the road, because it's such an important class. And you know we talk about things like carrying concealed weapons, what happens after bang, if you carry any if you carry a pocket knife, you should go to that class. Yeah, it really doesn't matter what perspective. Really, it doesn't matter what the weapon is. But yeah, it's it's sad but true that you can do everything right and be in the right. But if you're in the wrong county with the wrong district attorney who's trying to prove a point, you know, you can end up be in charge with homicide pretty much. Yep. Yeah, and you know you might it might be justifiable. But do you have to spend millions of dollars and you know, jail time just waiting for the trial because you don't have the money, need to put up a bond. So defending yourself or your family yep. So, and it happens. He'll tell you all about it. He'll tell you all about people in that pos It's not like something we're making up. Ken. I'll tell you about people that has happened to guys who are completely in the right, who wound up in really bad, pissed situations just for carrying a gun and using it or not even a gun sometimes just self defense in general. Yep, just fists, you know, that kind of thing. But yeah, he's with a company now, c CW Safe that that really they're probably the best in the in the business in terms of their what they really offer. There's there's so many companies out there that are that are out there, but if you really read their contracts, they've all got got all kinds of loopholes to get out of it. And these guys cover you in the civil suits too, which is invariably what happens. So yeah, that's yeah, yeah, it's so nice to get, you know, to have a phone number to call on a day like that, you know what I mean, if you're ever in that situation and then and you automatically know, pull this card out, call this number, call this number that's saved on my phone, and you get lawyer, you get protection, and you know, and this is a lawyer who knows, you know, self defense you're not. They know, yeah, they know how to deal with this. And yeah, so they're not just hey, we'll give you money to hire local Joe Blow who's. Never done before he does that, say. These people do this. I mean CCWS started in the business insuring or or not insuring, but in defending law enforcement guys, so they kind of get it. They understand it, and you know a lot of a lot of tips and things that you ought to know if it happens, what to do and what not to do, and you know, keep your mouth shut. One of the great tips is say, Okay, the cops arrive, I need to go to the hospital. I need to go to the hospital. I mean, at that point, your blood pressure is up, you are you know, you're psychologically you're totally torn apart. You shouldn't be talking to anybody, and you really need to get checked out physically by a doctor because you might have an injury that you didn't even know you had, and you know, things get a chance to calm down a little bit, and by that time your lawyer has had a chance to talk to talk to the police, and you know, kind of cover your butt so you don't say anything you're not supposed to say, because anything can be misconstrued, even when you're innocent. It's a great idea, Yeah, I. Need to go to the hospital, So take the hospital. Yes, I need to go to the hospital. And then lay your head back and wait for the ambulance. Yeah, yeah, that's a great one. Yeah, that's it's a whole other world. You know, that whole thing is a whole other world that self defense charges and litigation and cops show up and they don't know you know what I mean, they don't know up from down because they just got there. Hopefully they don't do you as bad as they did the poor kid in the UK. But you know, yeah, well they have no idea that I mean, they have no idea who you are. Who is the good guy? Who is the bad guy? You can't tell, but one of the you know, how do you avoid something like that? Well? Ken teaches the situational awareness class, So there you go. Yeah, how do. You look at somebody and realize, hey, wait a minute, that person does doesn't really look like they fit they you're acting weird and you know. I mean it's the ultimate weapon. Yeah, situational awareness is the ultimate weapon because you want no altercation, you know what I mean. No matter how good, no matter how cool you think you are, you don't want an altercation because anybody can pull a little tiny knife like this out and stab you to deathly. You know why, you think you're jiu jitsu and somebody, so you gotta be careful out there, for sure. It's uh so it's ten o'clock. Rick Austin, what do we need to tell the folks before we called it a night? Just if you want to get tickets for another half hour, you can get them at sixty dollars off at preppercamp dot com. But you got to use the promo code PBN sixty. PBN sixty, folks, make sure you hit it. Those of you who haven't, those of you are on the fence. And I think Rick made a great point, probably a great little gift if you got somebody who's in that area on the East coast, whatever the situation is, close by and you get there. Not that that ever stands in anyone's way. People come to Prepper Camp from all over the world. They do. Yeah, you know, it's definitely worth the travel. And this year be interesting to see where they're coming from this year. I mean last year we had a couple of guys from Romania. I mean that was that was Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah. In fact, in fact, one of them was in my class, you know, teaching a secret Gardener's arrival, and I talked about clearing trees for you know, your little ninety by one hundred and twenty area to put in your your garden. And he's like it raises in and says, well, you've got to get permission from the government first. And I said permission from the government. I said, where are you from? He said Romania. I said, buddy, you're in the United States of America. You own that property, You do whatever the hell you want. Yeah, that poor guy. We gave him some trouble Saturday night. Also not trouble, but just you know, we gave him some lessons in freedom. That was it. Yep, you come from another country. It's it's really crazy how oppressive and tyrannical it is in other countries as the sort of operating you know, the s O P. Yeah, like tyrannical, and they don't even realize. I don't know if you've. Seen any of any of the videos of the of the visitors who came to the World Cup and just how impressed they are with the United States. I don't know if you've seen any of those videos, but I'll just tell you it. It makes you proud to be American because they all realize when they get here that their countries and their media has lied to them about the United States and that we are the welcoming, friendly people. You know, people from Australia come and they meet somebody, it's like, well, hey, wait ante, let me show you the real the real good spots and the real good places to eat, and you know, just pay pay for them to for their stuff. And uh, you know it's what's amazing to me is the ones that like free refills. What I get free refills and it's the glasses this big. By accident dude. Yeah exactly. But you know that's capitalism for you because they're going to give you the bigger and the better and the you know, yeah, the good stuff to get you in the door and to keep you coming back. But you know, you don't get that in a socialist country. Pays for everything. You get a slice, you get a thin, paper thin slice, and don't ask for seconds. We're off to raise taxes again. Ye yeah. Prepper Camp is the microcosm of it all. Really, at the end of the day, it's a real cross cut of some of the best in the country. In my opinion. You know, you run up, you want to hang out with people who are, like, you know, really a cut above the rest, just in terms of you know, not necessarily in terms of skills and all that, though in their respective area they are, but just in behavior, you know what I mean, in indecency and kindness and those things like At PBN we always talk about that. We always talk about how we are so amazed that you get all the preppers together and everybody is just phenomenal. You know, if you had the coolest places to hang out. People are not what the media has made it Preppers out to be at the beginning. You know, they're not. They're not kooks, they're not militia people. They're just people trying to take care of themselves and their family because they know that it's up to them to do it. Most of them are Christian patriots, will be quite honest with you, I had to define them like the defining factors of the majority of people I meet. They're those two things right up top. They love America, they love Jesus Christ, and they're here to learn how to prepare and protect it all. And that that really is sort of the is REX going this year. By the way, I got to talk about yeah, okay. Yeah, he's he's a he's doing a spiritual preparedness you know, mentally and spiritually prepared class and try On right, not where we are gonna be, but he's you know, he's gonna do or you know, the Sunday sun Sunrise service. N Yeah, awesome, Well all right, Rick, I think we're gonna wrap it up here. Man, the time is quick approaching less than a month. I can't believe it. It's sneaked up on me, for sure. It's always sneaks up on me. Enough time, thanks so much. Yeah, I know, I can only imagine. Man, Rick gets a week off, folks, and then he's back to the grind or whatever it is a month, I don't know what. It's short. Every year I talk to you, you're like, I'm already working on for ever. Cap its freaking three days after all right, folks. I hope to see all there. I know I will see some of you there. It's gonna be an awesome year. It's gonna be a new year. It's gonna be exciting, a lot of stuff to do with try On International. The Uh, We're gonna see a lot of well rested people too, people who spent the nights in air conditioned beds instead of tents for the first time in their life, and I can't wait. Man, So thanks so much for joining us. Rick. Use that promo code, guys, PBN sixty sixty bucks off. Come on, it's huge. We'll talk to you soon.
