Preppers LIVE: Food Networks with Karl B and Dave Jones

[00:00:09] We have to hit the reset button and create a true culture preparedness starting at a very young age and filtering all the way up. PBN Family A very rare solo prepper's life. Days of Future Past Are you familiar with it? Not the movie.

[00:01:05] The movie was all messed up. Days of Future Past. Where are the Sentinels? Who are the Sentinels? Who are the Rogues? Who are the Mutants? You know a comic book education undoubtedly helps along the mentality and the thought process and the foreshadowing of the average prepper.

[00:01:42] It really does. Things that people in the prepping community are stitching together are things that I read when I was seven, eight years old. You know what I mean? And it's funny to watch.

[00:02:03] The more I watch this period in time unfold the more it looks like Days of Future Past. Which is an X-Men series. The X-Men series is always interesting because it was created around the Mutants vs. Humans paradigm. You know what I mean? The humans oppressing the Mutants.

[00:02:32] That sort of mutant X-Men group, it lends itself to whichever group in America or in the world is being oppressed at the moment. In Days of Future Past it's a bleak existence for very few Mutants who are either captured, killed or imprisoned.

[00:02:56] I never understood why they kept the Mutants alive at all. But that was the motivation of the Sentinels and Mastermold. So basically the Sentinels reach such a level of hyper tyranny that they're going to take over the world.

[00:03:21] And the reason the X-Men step in even though most of them are in prison, they have to break out and they have to figure out how to stop the Sentinels. The big reason why they do this is because they're completely out of time.

[00:03:35] The radical tyranny of the Sentinels knows no bounds. The Sentinels are these gigantic clunky stupid looking robots now but in the 90s they were sweet. They're going to Europe to take over. And Europe has said, if they come we're nuking America completely off the map to

[00:04:01] rid the world of the Sentinels. The X-Men basically have 24 hours to stop the Sentinels from their next move which is to go to Europe because the moment the Europeans catch wind of it it's nuclear war. It's nuked the entire North American continent basically.

[00:04:22] I find myself and humans and Mutants and militiamen are all in the streets and all in jails and everyone has to wear a certain identification number or something on their clothing type of clothing to tell the world who they are.

[00:04:44] The Mutants have to be marked, they have to tell everyone who they are. And it's done a bunch of different ways and iterations of the story but obviously there's no robots roaming the streets yet. Though how far away are we from robot police?

[00:05:06] How much convincing will people need once AI starts to show off? How much convincing will people need before the cops go away completely and there's AI in the streets? How much... I mean it's already a power play is to throw a drone up in the air.

[00:05:28] That's police that they do that, right? That's going to turn fast. Do you think police are going to walk through the front doors of drug dens anymore? You think in the next five years, five to ten...

[00:05:44] I say five years and the next five years you think you're going to see a flesh and bone human being kick down a door and walk through it to receive gunfire? So how far are we from Sentinels? How far are we from Sentinels?

[00:06:06] Oh just got the text from Dave Jones the NBC guy. What is up my man? He is in the chat. He is listening but he has got the night off tonight. The chat line, the text line... Let me get in the chat room over here.

[00:06:25] I don't know if anybody's in yet or not. But we're wide open for business. We're wide open for business. Dave Jones said he's going to call in soon. Let me throw the number in here. 804-767-7171. Give us a text, give us a call.

[00:06:49] Whatever it is you want to talk about tonight. Tonight's wide open. We're kind of going to let it go where it goes. It's been one of them days, been one of them weeks. You can hear it right? You can hear the nasal situation. Can you hear it? Naisal.

[00:07:05] The COVID's gone but some kind of head cold or something. It left me. It left me a little post-COVID gift. No big deal. I feel great. I worked out with Lady Liberty yesterday and threw around the 90 pound Bigfoot kettlebell. 90 pound Bigfoot kettlebell. I'm just a little guy.

[00:07:29] But that thing will get you in shape. I'm telling you right now. Back to days of future past. Back to days of future past because there's more to learn from this story than just the splintered society, the marked society, the tyrannical robot overlords, the impending nuclear war.

[00:07:54] Oh Dave Jones is calling us right now. Let's get him in here. Let me make sure I mute him for the rest of the show. What's up NBC guy? How you been man? You guys buried up there. Hey, yeah we got a little bit of snow.

[00:08:14] It was kind of interesting. It was about six inches of snow and then an inch of crust on top. Oh yeah. So it's very hard to get rid of. Yeah. Hey how you doing? Oh I'm good man. I'm good. Aint holding me down.

[00:08:32] I actually got my hats off to Omicron. She gave me way more trouble than I thought it would. Yeah, it sounded like it. Hats off to you. Damn I was hoping for it and my test came back negative. Yeah, maybe your back's still working. No, it's not that.

[00:08:53] I don't have antibodies because I was testing for antibodies like three weeks ago and I don't have COVID so we don't have it. We've never gotten it. Wait shouldn't you have antibodies if you got the vaccine though?

[00:09:08] Well I asked the nurse that and she said no it won't show up like that. So I guess they can tell the difference between a vaccine antibody and a regular antibody. I don't know. It's what she said. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:09:26] Now that I'm this far along I think I'm almost positive that for me Omicron was like a vicious headache and a big long nap. And then I think I got, well no, no, no I had a couple nights of bad fever that must have been it.

[00:09:53] Some really, really impressive fever. Yeah. But that was it and now and see I thought I had it longer than I had it but I got some kind of sinus thing going on now that's lingering. My wife's got it. I don't know what it is.

[00:10:07] It's not a no fever you know what I mean? It's one of those things. Yeah. It feels like somebody took sandpaper to your nasal cavity. Damn. That's what it's like by the end of the day everything is raw. Whatever.

[00:10:23] It's just you know, it's annoying that's all it is. Yeah. I'll tell you something crazy that happened. What? So the COVID affected my taste which was probably the worst symptom of all and I got a little bit of a sore throat too at one point.

[00:10:43] My wife bought Lipton tea by the case she bought me some hippie tea because she knows me and she loves me and I drank some of that chamomile vanilla whatever. Yeah. But she bought herself the Lipton tea because she's old school Southern girl you know what I mean?

[00:10:59] Yeah. And she didn't really drink any of it but I started drinking it and it was great. It was better than coffee which was amazing but while I was sick it just was better.

[00:11:10] I went like I don't know how many days with no coffee and now I'm back to coffee but my taste isn't perfect yet and it's not been good. It's not been good. You're not enjoying. I'm not.

[00:11:27] I'm enjoying it but it's not like you know my day before this COVID nonsense was like all about the morning coffee it was like get up. I mean like the night before Dave I'm excited to get up and brew that disaster coffee and get the day going.

[00:11:43] Now it's like maybe I'll have tea. I don't know it's weird it's one of them weird but I guess my taste comes back it'll be better I don't know weird. Well that is weird so you know Tim Mc Welch. Oh yeah.

[00:11:57] He had he had COVID he told me all about what went on with him and he lost his taste and he smelled and the last time I talked to him said it came back in about six months. His taste and smell? Yes. Jesus.

[00:12:15] He said it was a long time that he lost it for a long time and it just started pulling back. No mine's on the way back already. Okay that's all my comment. Yeah mine's coming back for sure.

[00:12:32] While we're on the subject of coffee we should ask for I don't know that he necessarily needs prayers but another another prepper TJ Moore's from Bear Independent over on his Patreon announced

[00:12:47] that he got some COVID and so you know give him a little love it is what it is. He put disaster coffee on the map so we're always indebted to him over there hope he gets well. He's a bigger guy so you know I don't know.

[00:13:05] I don't know if it really if Omicron really affects people that way or not but somehow yeah. It's turning out that Omicron is less deadly than the damn shock. I saw that you said that about the children the children vaccine numbers are frightening.

[00:13:25] Are terrible terrible in a normal situation you would never give this vaccine to a kid. Okay yeah I mean there you know this emergency use authorization crap the more I learn about the vaccine the MRNA vaccine okay.

[00:13:50] But Johnson and Johnson there's not much out there other than it started giving blood clots. Okay in younger people they had blood clots in their lungs and stuff like that but the stuff that I'm finding out about the MRNA vaccines man it's just unbelievable and now

[00:14:17] that they they said bad, unbelievably bad that this thing should never have been approved. Certainly not approved because emergency authorization it's just crazy what's going on worldwide. Exactly and other people are going crazy he signed a thing an executive order saying

[00:14:44] no mask mandates he's leaving it up to the parents okay if you want to send your kid to school with a mask go ahead. If you don't it's okay and four cowleys are defying it so are we going to get the National

[00:15:01] Guard called out to go to these schools and the kids in that don't have masks I mean where is this going to stop? Yeah I have no clue I mean it's not going to get through in Richmond the Richmond board and people

[00:15:15] here in the city are gonna fight the mask no fight the no mask I don't know till when who knows you know that's just their game they they prefer to be afraid of things seems like.

[00:15:30] I was thinking about that today Dave Jones this is what I was thinking about and I guess it's because it does I don't know it's weird that if you want to get into any school and well I don't even want to say this school security sucks

[00:15:51] but mask security in schools has to be top notch and I never saw more afraid parents more juiced up over keeping their children safe than I have over this mask thing you know like how many school

[00:16:09] shootings have we seen and the parents never really to me never really seemed this jazzed up about what happens in the school now they would get pissed off and say ban all the guns is bullshit

[00:16:21] but I'd never seen them so obsessed about what's happening in the schools and you know it's just I'll just leave it at this school security your kids if you send them to

[00:16:33] school like I do they're not safe at school if somebody wants to come in and do harm most schools people can come in and the type of people that usually do the harm i.e. students and you know

[00:16:48] you know whatever teachers whatever I mean they can get in I feel like that should be a topic I feel like that's something that should at least get some look as well

[00:17:03] but you know it so it's weird it's weird for me to see you know what moves people what doesn't move people yeah and it the cnn came out and was was blasting our governor okay for allowing people

[00:17:22] to choose no it's like yeah it's like well you know the government should be the one choosing this for your kid and it's like what the heck when did we become afraid of freedom of choice when when

[00:17:42] when was that you know and back to your security thing when my kids were going to school we our school district went through a big security upgrade okay electric locks on the doors

[00:18:00] you know hammers all that kind of stuff but but do you know who's buzzing people in any lady at the desk right now it's like there's not a professional person scrutinizing anybody that's coming in well think about this way we're lady yeah she's the first one to go

[00:18:24] think about it this way the best that someone could have done is let someone who they may know what they look like in the school but not sure because everyone they let in the school over the

[00:18:37] last two years at a mascot yeah you know what I mean like there you you couldn't execute good security in that situation it'd be nearly impossible already because you're looking at a camera and you're going should I let that person in I can't see anything but their eyes

[00:18:57] their hoods up it's winter you know what I mean they got everybody who comes in the school's got a mask on whether they're a parent or another kid or it doesn't it some guy with a backpack and guns

[00:19:08] in it he's got a mask on nose well yeah and one time I I did have to take Deanna's backpack to her because she forgot it in the car and I didn't realize she didn't have an honor

[00:19:20] so I drove around the school went into the thing but you know buzzed the thing and I put it up to the camera I said she forgot her backpack yeah sure come on in come on in I mean you know but what

[00:19:38] happened in Texas just this past weekend and the FBI was afraid to call the terrorist attack what was up with you know they they've since they since backtracked on it but why do they say things

[00:19:53] that don't even need to be said well doesn't that seem like this what happens all the time they say weird shit that just doesn't there's no need for that guy to say this has nothing to do with Jews

[00:20:07] but what do you why even say it what is that what does you saying that have to do with anything it's such a weird it was I saw it last night that comment I saw last night while the whole

[00:20:19] thing was going down was it last night or the night before it was Sunday night wasn't it yeah I think it was Sunday night when that guy made this statement he had to be a spokesman right

[00:20:30] but it's like he needs to have something to say but then they come out and say like the dumbest thing you could ever hear a person says nothing to do with Jews and then the guy

[00:20:41] turns out to be a muslim anti-semite I think you might be wrong I mean even if he's trying to get in and a member of a terrorist group that is openly for the the elimination of Jews on the planet

[00:20:57] yeah and you think this guy just chose the Jewish community center just out of by accident exactly and and not only that I mean it put it on the other foot if it was a black

[00:21:11] Baptist church wouldn't that be the first thing they oh my god so this well and today in our back channel communication the Department of Health was it or was it the CDC

[00:21:32] asked hospitals they said you no longer have to report COVID deaths okay and I wanted to say well wait a minute they report flu deaths why why would they stop reporting COVID deaths because this was

[00:21:50] an interesting conversation to me I didn't I didn't get into but this was interesting I liked where you guys were going with this one yeah man what was your conclusion there you go yeah that every government agency now has been corrupted okay because I the FBI most obvious

[00:22:15] but I can't think of a government agency that hasn't been corrupted yeah I don't know I don't know I mean when you can't trust the figures okay this is how many flu deaths we've had

[00:22:34] this is how many you know measles oh you don't have to report COVID it's like wait a minute why are we picking and choosing diseases it is such a weird thing because there's you know

[00:22:49] it it makes you feel like you're dyslexic or something because you know one day they're saying hey you got to get vaccinated you got to get boosted yeah but we ain't really counting the deaths

[00:23:03] I mean no whatever happens happens but you better get out there and get back this shit's deadly we're just not counting them anymore I don't get it hey it looks like Carl's in the chat oh snap

[00:23:16] Carl B well he was talking something now he disappeared but I wanted to comment on Carl's show he did a really great show on quail all the matter of fact yeah and the matter of fact guys well

[00:23:30] all the shows have been great all weekend long to include reliance okay thank god you've got to hear that he's back first yeah thank god it was it was awesome so anyway he was talking about quail

[00:23:47] and I happened to mention to Maria if you had to choose between quail and rabbit when the grid goes down which would you choose and why and then I and then I went outside and started working I said

[00:24:01] don't give me your answer now wait do I come back in so I come back in and she laid out really good you know thoughtful reasons why she picked rabbits over quail rabbit over and I wouldn't

[00:24:19] I know I would have picked quail because of the egg and here's what she said so the the high protein content of rabbit you know of well of the what you got to feed the quail

[00:24:36] you got to give them game bird feed which is higher protein you can't feed them regular chicken feed really all of that I did not know yeah yes if you if you are not everything will go down

[00:24:51] and they'll eventually die okay so their egg production will grow down and she also said well if you don't have any electricity they're gonna stop laying in the winter which I said yeah

[00:25:05] yeah they would because there'd be no light they do that in nature normally yeah and then she said with the rabbits you can feed them grass and you can cut grass and save it you can store it over

[00:25:19] the winter and they they do better in a winter time than quail do and they they breed all the time and you can use the rabbit pelt and fur for other stuff so on the scale of a prepper

[00:25:37] shit in an shtf okay rabbits win in her argument I mean I could see it which I thought was very interesting I could see it I didn't know that about the quail that you might just put a damper

[00:25:52] on my whole quail experience what so what is the do you know what the main ingredient in their feed is that's so high protein do they give them some kind of like grain that's high protein

[00:26:03] no it's got to be some kind of worm meal or something oh you know now we we did that yeah we did that meal worm farm and it's very easy to do I gotta get me one of them if you're not yeah if you're not

[00:26:16] doing that you're not gonna get enough protein for these quails to survive and how are they on the meat and if you leave them together will they make their own chicks and all that stuff or you've

[00:26:27] got to separate it out like with chickens and do the whole yeah I have never incubation I have never yeah exactly I have never seen a quail in all the quail that we've raised I've never seen

[00:26:41] one quail go broody okay I have I have seen chickens do it and you know and we we've raised way more quails than we've raised chicken so I don't know how that works they just pop eggs out

[00:26:57] they don't make nests they just like wherever they're eating or something like that and egg comes out you know so I don't even know how how they would uh how they would be at at raising you know incubating

[00:27:13] raising them themselves that's really what I would like I would like to give them enough space maybe a couple coops or something like that and have them be able to just pop some babies out

[00:27:26] take me out of the mating picture all together because the only reason I would rate the only reason I think I would raise quail here is to eat them so if they don't replenish easily

[00:27:36] I don't know might be something I push off but I do like it I do like the quail idea yeah you know I'd like the little eggs they're cool I like the taste of quail for sure

[00:27:51] yeah then and the eggs are far more nutritious of course you know because you gotta feed them more proteins so they're and they are regular I mean they they pop them out once a day every day tough thing with them rabbits they're so cute right

[00:28:11] them rabbits are cute man yeah they're mammals you get there's that thing there's that weird killing of mammals every day type of thing it's weird no I get it I think she's right

[00:28:25] I think in the battle in the battle of the uh proteins she's probably 100 right because they do mate on their own right all you gotta do is pull daddy out of there so we don't mess with them

[00:28:35] yeah and and really they'll eat you know leaves sticks grass you know you you don't have to get special food for rabbit right and and then she brought up their poop you know their poop is great

[00:28:50] right it's fantastic yeah and uh and then when you add in the fur you know you can make slippers you can make a vest out of me you get enough fur is I mean yeah treat so yeah I thought that was

[00:29:07] interesting after Carl B show and that matter of facts guys they did a show on moving to a new location a lot of great thought back and forth there and of course Aiden did two shows this weekend

[00:29:23] got a one rick yeah you gotta hear rick yep yeah I didn't plan for it to be such a food centric you know food centric weekend but yeah those of you who are out there playing in your food plots man

[00:29:36] and big weekend on pbn yeah yeah that moving podcast that's that's an important one for you guys that time is of the essence I haven't been in a position where I felt like like the way I have

[00:29:54] been feeling lately but uh I really do think that 2022 is a make or break for a lot of you out there listening I believe that and I think we got a good in the living life the way that we live

[00:30:09] it doing life the way that we do it um I think we got a good five years before things start to get so so maybe not bad but so different probably bad but so different um that you're gonna be

[00:30:25] struggling to find your way so I would say that you better live 2022 from the preparedness side of things anyway um as though it's as though it's the last grains of sand dropping because I think what

[00:30:41] you do this year or what you don't do this year may haunt you for you the rest of your life I'm just gonna say that friend when it comes to prepping okay when it comes to because I think

[00:30:52] you're gonna be dealing with outlandish costs I think you're gonna be dealing with restrictions to the things you can and cannot do I think you're gonna be dealing with a lot of hurdles um after 2022

[00:31:02] if I had to guess you know so get to and I also think in a side note and probably a good note there's gonna be a hell of a lot of preppers you know there there's no doubt that they may not

[00:31:17] call themselves preppers but there's a lot of preppers that are new and they're gonna be going after the same shit you're going after it's not gonna be the uh the party that we've had for the last

[00:31:29] 10 years 20 years you know I mean where it's been like whatever whatever you need you could go get it you were you ready saved up some money you want to buy some food storage all right you can

[00:31:39] go buy it you know I think after this year man people are gonna be switched on they're gonna be buying feed they're gonna be buying they're gonna have their animals they're gonna

[00:31:48] have gardens more people than ever before and I think it's going to be urban suburban and rural I think all of the above it's gonna be a bigger market and you look I don't know if because

[00:32:00] you know that we're going in one direction with a population of people I don't know how big it is but a population of people who are who are you know really honed in on self-reliance

[00:32:11] and independence like this is what they want to do they see other people doing it they see the freedom in it they know that they could tell all these crazy restrictions and crazy people in

[00:32:20] office whether they're democrats or republicans they can tell them f off I'm doing my thing and the problem with that is the other side the supply chain side of things everything's getting limited

[00:32:35] so yeah this is what I'm telling you I get a year you might not be able to get the things you're used to getting real easy so I have my finger on the pulse of 42 ranch and and the ranch

[00:32:49] manager that's in the wisconsin location said he can't get any rice or beans that whatever the plan was to get some more stuff stockpiled it's just not there right now you see so yeah yeah

[00:33:08] you know I'm doing that food thing yeah 42 ranch so yeah I can't wait I can't wait till you get a couple of those under your belt man you know that that may be something to be on

[00:33:19] Dave Jones that uh if your guys interested that we write a I don't know maybe like an e-book or something about that whole process you feed feed me the info I'll put it into e-book form he can

[00:33:33] keep the e-book salad give it away whatever he wants to do but I think that would be really cool information you know if you tell him exactly in a way that you don't give it all the way but

[00:33:42] exactly sort of what you put together and how many people you plan for it to feed and that whole thing that could be that's good info I know I'll put that info in my own little personal diary

[00:33:53] that's for sure because that's a big yeah and my my my concept behind it you know that they have ranch manager and sometimes an assistant ranch manager so there's maybe two to four people at

[00:34:07] each location so you don't want all of this you know livestock and food you know gardens and stuff that these two to four people are going to be you know responsible for you want basic amount of

[00:34:26] stuff that can expand when needed so that that's my whole concept behind this enough food for the ranch managers and their family to have on a daily basis and then the plan to expand when

[00:34:46] shtf happens in 42 branches fully activated and everybody shows up so that's that's a whole concept there yeah and that's a that's a scale thing pbn family that is exactly what um I have

[00:35:02] envisioned here at my own house this is something Dave and I talked about like last year I think and it's it's something that you should put together for your own family which is a sort of

[00:35:13] a rapid protein and garden expansion plan if you if you're already producing a limited amount of stuff this is for you guys out there who already have maybe your rabbits or your chickens

[00:35:25] or whatever it is you know what I mean and you're you're putting the food up but it's you know it's not obviously not all of your food that you're bringing into the home you should definitely

[00:35:33] sit down and carve out right down the the shelters that you would need how what materials you would need to expand to have x amount of rabbits x amount of chickens you know how many

[00:35:45] guard more garden beds could you fit that type of thing and uh you know the other big part of that not only is writing down the plan and all the things that you need but also when the hell

[00:35:55] you commit to doing that you know what I mean so the trigger when you come in your phone yeah that's that's all huge um because for those of you out there in the urban and suburban world

[00:36:07] you probably dealing with some level of restrictions on what it is you can do and there's likely coming a time when you don't have to worry about those restrictions and uh you know you might you you might even be rewarded for it by your by your family

[00:36:24] looks like we got uh well and then carl b with us all of the sudden is that my man carl b oh there he is yeah james can you hear me I got you loud and clear my

[00:36:38] man great to hear you live hey no problems you got me for 20 minutes hey I'll take every cool so make it count every second well we were just giving your pets on the back for that great

[00:36:51] show friday on quail oh well you know I've been wanting to do a uh you know a show on it for a while so um I was happy to be able to just finally just put something together you know like look

[00:37:06] at everything that I had bought over the last couple of years and you know what worked what didn't work you know um uh I think Dave said it uh yeah I think if it was a real shtf situation

[00:37:22] I would be tempted to go with rabbits versus quail and um and and and I think yeah quail they do need you know that high protein food you know to uh you'd have to have some kind of

[00:37:38] probably mealworm like set up to to feed them and then you'll be okay at a worm farm like a red wiggler yeah steal um now I know that they love mealworms because I you know I when I had

[00:37:55] quail because uh you know I I sent all of them to freezer camp uh yeah um but when I when I had quail uh they loved mealworms um you know uh you know I was thinking uh next thing that I'm gonna try

[00:38:15] are those little band-time chickens you know uh to see if I can keep them uh and what type of eggs I would get and everything else so that's the next experiment at some point that I'm gonna try

[00:38:28] you know uh I think my wife would probably prefer the band-times because you know it especially if they gave eggs that are almost normal size you know uh one of the things is you know quails

[00:38:40] they lay a lot of eggs a lot of eggs um which is great uh but at the same time you know like you know my wife she likes to bake and everything else and and that's kind of a precise kind of science

[00:38:54] there no doubt you know uh yeah and you know it's you know she wants to know okay I need four eggs you know that with quail you kind of gotta you you have to estimate you know uh and and

[00:39:09] she did pretty well you know because she baked cakes and everything so well with with the quail eggs and everything else but what do they say like two eggs to one or three eggs three eggs to one or

[00:39:19] what do you make yeah both three eggs to one is is is is what it really comes down to okay you know I mean uh yeah they're great birds man I like them you know uh but yeah I think in an SHTF situation

[00:39:36] you would definitely I mean you could buy a lot of feed and just have it buy you know um and and you could probably have quail for a year or two you know because they they eat what just

[00:39:50] less than their body weight and they don't weigh much you know so you could have you could turn over a lot of quail and especially if you're if you had some place to store or smoke the meat

[00:40:00] and just keep it around for a long time so it would be a good food source that's for sure but um and you know like if there's anybody interested in poultry uh you know um you know

[00:40:13] maybe you want to start with quail versus chicken because they're kind of you know for me with all the predators around where I live you know it's just an easier bird to keep you know but uh I

[00:40:24] I just want to drop this in there I think this is going to be the year of food James the year of food yeah yeah yeah this is going to be the year of food man because with all the

[00:40:35] shortages and everything else I mean you know I I meant to talk about this on on uh one of the podcast but man I went to the I went to my supermarket probably about a month ago and normally I

[00:40:52] walk around the supermarket and whatever you put in your cart you're fine but you know I people are watching we're watching what I was putting in my cart you know and that never happened before I wasn't

[00:41:03] conscious ever of you know people really paying attention and when I went through the line the funny thing is when I went through the line you know I bought a bunch uh like you know a mixture

[00:41:15] of canned stuff and different things and when I went through the line and they ran me through you know uh the lady was you know there was a woman standing right behind me and she was watching

[00:41:26] everything that you know like the prices everything that was that had on on the uh you know what do you call it on the runner there where they put all your food and they run it through you know um

[00:41:38] yeah check out when the when the when a woman told me you know I think my bill came up to like 140 dollars or something like that and you know the person running me through and

[00:41:47] the lady standing right behind me she was like 140 for all of that you know the thing about it though was that I tend to buy things pretty smart like I'll buy like you know when I buy I tend because I'm

[00:42:01] prepping I tend to thinking okay I'll buy like you know um a flower and you know like I buy stuff that I know can stretch you know I can go for a long time you know um or stuff I can

[00:42:14] you know like I can put on my shelf and keep for a year or two so I think I you know like I think Prepper is probably shop a little different than other people you know like most people because

[00:42:26] they they tend to just buy like three days worth of food and and that's what they got and and the bill is still pretty high with what they have but you know because I'm buying canned stuff

[00:42:37] and I'm you know and yeah I'm looking at deals but I'm looking for food that you know that can feed me and my family for a while so it was just a kind of a different thing and you

[00:42:49] know she was like wow 140 dollars for all of that you know so so the thing that really got me was number one this woman was watching everything that was that was I was running through right

[00:43:00] and I noticed it in the store and it was just so sad it used to be a pleasure to go shopping I don't know if you remember those days but I mean right after work you know it wasn't even so much of a

[00:43:11] real chore for me like you know five six years ago to go to the store after work you know but now it's just a sad thing you're going there and and there is all these you know huge you know empty

[00:43:25] shelves you know like and and you can definitely see they're trying to move food around oh yeah you know like where they used to have like food stock yeah you know like there's even one like in

[00:43:38] in my store in my you know the store that I shop all the time there's one corner that they used to have like flour and rice and everything else now it's all stocked with beer it's it was the oddest

[00:43:50] thing like you know so so that section of the store that's sweet what a good answer yeah rice beans and you know like all that kind of bulk stuff they just stock on their shelves now all of that is

[00:44:06] gone it you know that was happening for months where you would you come in and and you know you couldn't really find you know like your five pound bag of rice anymore and stuff like that

[00:44:17] that's and now they just decide hey we're just gonna put beer in there it was just the oddest thing it was like seriously so you went from rice and beans and yeah and and that and you know

[00:44:29] high carbohydrate to you know to beer it's it was the oddest thing but yeah it's all over the country everybody's talking about it man you know like the people you know the you know the folks that

[00:44:43] prep around me and you know like who are in this area and you know who are involved in preparing lifestyle they're all buying food everybody's talking because you can see where

[00:44:56] you know this it can go well it is going bad and I think it is gonna get worse and you know the thing you know the thing about it is because I had money like I'm in the store I had money

[00:45:09] there was nothing there was nothing really that I wanted that I could necessarily buy so it's a different type of poverty that actually oh yeah you know it's one thing to have to not have money and

[00:45:20] you can't get the things you want it's another thing okay so yeah you know I've got the money but I can't get the things I need you know which is a different type of poverty here you know but it's

[00:45:32] here and we got to deal with it so this is your food I think that you know a lot of my shows you know I'm gonna be doing research now on how to grow food and because I think a lot of the listeners

[00:45:45] and and and I think we're gonna get a lot of new listeners this year and I think primarily you know we're gonna have to really help people to yeah make food you know whether it be you know

[00:45:56] keeping their own animals or you know gardening or you know you know it's it's gonna be seriously important for them to be able to manage some part of their food production this year well I'll tell you

[00:46:11] one thing it's gonna get a little crazy I'll tell you one thing um my seasonal roots company which is that uh I've talked about it and I am Liberty before that's the company that delivers groceries

[00:46:25] from farms seasonal roots it's local only I don't know if there's something comparable around your way um but you know if you're listening yeah we have stuff I don't hear yeah they they went

[00:46:38] offline for their two-week vacation and they're back up and running and let me just you know put it into perspective for you because this is undoubtedly a part of my personal preparedness

[00:46:51] plan and this fits into that theme Carl that I want to hit all year which is alternative everything because alternative solutions alternative everything man alternative solutions to the way you do life is you know because the big thing that you got to tell people especially who are new

[00:47:09] and easily to be overwhelmed is you don't have to do everything like you don't you don't have to have cows pigs chickens everything in the backyard because I think there's a certain type of I think

[00:47:22] the majority of people are going to be like I don't have time for that but anyway um this thing set up on auto draft for me I could have added more to this order if I wanted um but I haven't set up

[00:47:37] this way so that I don't even have to think about it and it's inexpensive for what I got they charged me 36 bucks on Sunday nights I can go shop up until Sunday night like go on

[00:47:47] website pick meat add meat adds you know prepared foods add fruits whatever but for 36 bucks I'll be getting collard greens zucchini sweet potatoes carrots organic yellow squash green bell peppers tomatoes and juicing oranges and uh like I said I don't got to step into the supermarket for it

[00:48:06] it's all coming from well like I imagine the juicing oranges are probably not local but the vast majority of everything else is either hot house grown or locally grown you know here right and

[00:48:19] again it's you can add all kinds of stuff to this order that I don't hardly ever get but it's just another avenue you know and I think you got to open up as many of these avenues to

[00:48:30] food as you can you got to open up every avenue to food so that in while when I walk into the supermarket in this situation and I don't go well my one and only avenue for food looks like shit so

[00:48:44] I guess we ain't eating this week you know I go okay well I'll pick that up over here I'll pick that up at this place or I'll get that through seasonal routes it is what it is and that's uh

[00:48:56] that's what 2022 is going to have to be for people it's establishing their sort of alternative everything and figuring out you know this new way of living that work is what it is yeah yeah you know

[00:49:07] you know I have a I have a lot of friends around me who you know are in in the farming community so you know um you know I mean that's how I got my half a cow late last year and um you know um

[00:49:25] you know there are people who you know around me that they you know honey they make honey or or uh you know um you know we have lots of you know upstate New York we have lots of farms

[00:49:37] so um you know yeah alternate ways you know you can't rely on the supermarket anymore uh you know um you know as a matter of fact you know like yeah you know with with things

[00:49:50] getting kind of desperate and and we'll get desperate you know I think it's just a matter of time before you see start seeing stories where people are getting mugged with for their groceries

[00:50:01] and different things now you know I mean that's not far off you know um because you could just feel it like you know like just walk it through the the supermarket and it may be so happy that

[00:50:13] I realize that hey you know what I can start my garden I you know there's there are things that I can do you're right you know um you know I can go to the farmers market you know there's

[00:50:23] there's alternate ways that um but for a lot of people especially people just starting out man you know the supermarket has always been there saying you know uh and now we're gonna have to

[00:50:33] start educating a lot of people as to you know to set up their own food networks you know in their own communities for sure yeah you know those um go to those scratching dent places man

[00:50:44] go there those are good places to go seriously it they get the stuff that super that's the thing you know the thing about the supermarket is the supermarket is like our society

[00:50:58] it's like the worst parts of our society the super and I learned this from the food banking the supermarket takes the best looking stuff and puts it on the shelf but in order to do that

[00:51:10] it rejects tons of stuff tons of every type of thing you can imagine everything on those shelves it rejects a percentage of and says hey that's not pretty enough to go on the shelves and and there's

[00:51:22] a ton of places that are taking advantage of that we used to take advantage of it as the as the food bank and I don't know what the other food banks are doing now because there are so many

[00:51:30] different markets that are bringing those things in those dented cans they're bringing in those box dry goods and they're reselling them at a discounted rate and places like the misfit market

[00:51:44] delivery services like what the hell is the one I used to use I used to use another one before season the roots and they did the same thing they got a box some box dry it don't look

[00:51:53] good they send it to you in a box at a discounted rate these are the people you want to find these are the people you want to get on your team because remember their motivation is

[00:52:03] to stay in business you know what I mean that's their number one motivation and they got a stream of products that even if they come in on a shipment to your supermarket the supermarket has

[00:52:14] standards you know what I mean they can't put the dentists stuff up on the on the on the shelf unless they change the standard all together so it is what it is man just keep searching

[00:52:26] well I tell you what you know the strawberry that I get in a supermarket you know never tastes as good as that stunted strawberry that I grow in my own garden you know it's amazing how that works you know

[00:52:41] like yeah good you know sometimes yeah you know it would never pass muster but at the same time you know it's just you know it's it's it's grown right outside my door I you know I know what's

[00:52:54] what's in the dirt what's going on with it you know we grow a lot of broccoli we grow a lot of you know strawberries we grow gooseberries my wife loves gooseberries so I grow them you know

[00:53:08] last year we tried watermelons different things you know squash is always a big thing you know so yeah it's all about now getting your seeds you know you know figuring out how

[00:53:21] much garden space you're gonna need I think I'm gonna need a little bit more garden space than I did last year because I only have two small gardens right now but I might expand that to you know and I might

[00:53:36] put in another two just so that I can you know spread out a little bit more and grow a little bit more you know because yeah it's this is gonna be your food man you could you could tell already

[00:53:48] you know you know people are people are getting nervous you know people are people are watching what each other you know they're watching what people are buying and you know everybody's talking about food no matter where you go people are talking about either growing it what they're

[00:54:04] seeing in the supermarket now you know it's now popped into the national consciousness you know I mean we've been talking about it for a long time but I think people were distracted you

[00:54:16] know a lot of people were distracted you know COVID and trying to get their lives back together you know um you know especially after being locked down for you know almost a year well over a year

[00:54:27] pretty much and I think people were distracted and now they're beginning to say they're beginning to see what's going on you know in their environment you know again and they're and they don't like it

[00:54:39] yeah yeah yeah it's uh we're we're living through some really serious times man like you know uh we just had this terrorist attack you know well call it what you want you know this

[00:54:58] this person tried taking over that synagogue there I think that there's going to be more of that now especially since um we haven't been paying close attention to you know who's coming into the country and different things so I think that we're going to see a resurgence

[00:55:15] with that because that went away for a while especially since everything was kind of locked down and things but now since people are up and about again then I think that we're going to

[00:55:24] see a resurgence with that uh you know um and that's going to lead into the gun argument you know as well you know um you know we're going to have to deal with the fallout I think

[00:55:36] of a lot of a lot of those issues you know it doesn't matter you know who commits the crime or whatever they're just going to try and take the guns away from people who because right now

[00:55:49] you know you because you all were talking about it I think the other day you know all these like hearty tighty people out there in California now who are buying guns because you know they're

[00:55:59] and these are people who vote I'm sure vote Democrat you know every single time but they're realizing that they need protection and they're arming themselves up though they're in California

[00:56:10] and all these uh really rich places you know much less if you live like you know in some city where the crime rate is really high and you know I'm so happy that I don't live in a city man

[00:56:24] the whole thing is crazy from the pandemic to you know everything that's going on you know it's it's it's nice to be outside you know where where you're not like in such a densely populated area

[00:56:38] because I you know well when I lived in New York City we had to get out it was just like we're not going to rate you know and I'm sorry if you're in New York City and I really love

[00:56:49] New York City I lived in Harlem I lived in in Brooklyn I lived you know I lived uh yeah I lived in Harlem in Brooklyn you know and I really loved New York City when I was there but you know

[00:57:02] it was my wife and I it was just like yeah it's time for us to go you know uh it is time for us to get out you know and and we came we went further north I'll tell you what though if you grew up

[00:57:15] in cities if you've lived in cities you know the kind of hustle and resourcefulness you gain a certain skill man living in densely populated cities that is going to favor that

[00:57:32] is going to serve people through these tough times you know what I mean oh yeah you learn you just inherently learn things like you know where to go get the things you need you know and if this place

[00:57:46] doesn't have the thing you need I know exactly where to go to get the thing I need and that is where we're headed PBM family that is exactly what you're going to be asking yourself I went to get the

[00:57:59] thing I needed and my store didn't have it now what you know and establishing those second and third uh places is that's just what life is going to be yeah and you know and this is the only

[00:58:13] we're just with food you know I'm concerned with food because you need food to live but you know you're talking all kinds of supplies now that's going to be like short and um you know and

[00:58:23] if things get worse in China you know with them locking things down because the Olympics and everything else and you know it could be the supply you know think you know could get a whole

[00:58:37] lot worse so folks just buy the stuff you need now if it's available oh yeah you know if it's available if you see it if it's available just get it now because it might not be you know it

[00:58:49] might not be on the shelf or available through you know through your your regular uh outlet you know um in the future so just get it now you know um I'm really happy and I'm not going

[00:59:04] to word the our the winter storm that just went through it dropped about probably about eight inches by me and then most of it kind of like yeah that that's nothing though for for where I live

[00:59:15] that's kind of like okay you know um but uh yeah it went through and then most of it melted you know uh the thing about you know it being warmer this year is that I think that it really

[00:59:30] did help a lot of people with their bills you know they were paying a lot less for the propane that they normally would if things were you know a couple degrees cooler you know in the norm so

[00:59:43] so uh I don't know if I'm back in global warming or whatever this is but it don't feel like global warming in Virginia man it's been a cold and snowy winter already

[00:59:53] I think last year we had uh one one snow event in the year before we had no snow and we've had like three snows already this year it's a lot for us yeah you see we normally up here especially by me

[01:00:08] you know like we get snow pretty regular you know uh this was our first snow event up by me real snow event and usually we we've already had you know normally in a course of a

[01:00:21] year we've had like two of these already that would roll through and drop like a foot or more snow or something you know uh so yeah so this thing dropping you know like around six to eight inches up by me

[01:00:32] that was like eh you know you're fine you know just move the snow out the way and and get on with life you know it's not a big deal too much you know but yeah you know um so I was glad

[01:00:45] that I was able to do that showing quails um you know I I completely agree with what Dave said about the rabbits I think if it was a grid down situation uh rabbits would probably be the way to

[01:00:58] go because you can you can feed them anything I'm guessing and and you know um they're almost like goats right you could probably feed them a lot of stuff from your own table and they would

[01:01:09] eat it and um and thrive you know you know quail yeah you know um I was planning if the pandemic had gotten a whole lot worse I was planning on just like really just stocking like just bags and bags of

[01:01:25] quail food you know which I knew I could have kept quail for a year two three years and I would have I would have bred a lot of them like I you know I would have just bred you know just use them as

[01:01:38] meat birds at that point just you know just fatten them up and put them in a freezer as quickly as possible sure yeah you know for a family of four which I have uh you know four quail you

[01:01:53] know for a meal is enough for a family of four but but we don't eat a lot you know like my appetite you know like I don't really they there's some people they eat a lot of food you know we tend to

[01:02:06] eat smaller meals so um so we would have like four quail that that could feed every you know everyone in my family you know so it would all be about your needs well everybody's yeah everybody's gonna

[01:02:20] cut their needs if it's that bad too you know what I mean yeah I'm not gonna be worried about going to bed like oh I'm so full honey great work with no you know you're gonna be saying

[01:02:31] let's stretch these four quail maybe to three days worth let's eat the breast tonight and of course you're doing soups and different things yeah you know um but yeah I just

[01:02:42] jumped right in with the quail you know it was it was just one of those things where I you know I was like I need something that I I need a meat source because I didn't have any kind of uh

[01:02:55] you know um any kind of uh what you call it uh you know um animals around yeah protein around you know um and you know chick keeping chickens I would really love chickens you know I know my wife

[01:03:08] would love chickens the problem is we have too many predators you know up by you know where I live yeah things would just be coming out of the woods around my house and they'd just be snacking

[01:03:18] on those birds man I couldn't I couldn't protect them you know like I could have 45 I could you know like gotten a chicken coop and put all kinds of stuff you know but but the cool thing with the quail

[01:03:31] was you know I was able to keep them I kept them outside you know most of the year and we have a real good we had a really good electric fence that I wired around it smart from time to time

[01:03:45] you could hear something that would just get zapped you know uh you know I'd be watching television and you would from time to time you could hear like you could hear the the the fence

[01:03:55] go off you know something that's that you know sniffing around you know skunks or whatever you know but you know but it kept a lot of the predators away from the eggs from the birds

[01:04:08] and uh yeah we were able to keep them for years and they didn't get bothered you know I I think I could do the same thing for rabbits um couldn't do that for quail in my yard

[01:04:20] though I would be if in a grid down situation yeah goat I hear you know you guys talk about goats all the time you know um yeah a couple goats you know for milk you know um and goats

[01:04:33] and goats reproduce really really quickly too you know so I'd be doing goats if you're in the meat production game right now probably the most value like if you're I don't mean commercial

[01:04:47] I mean like you me and Dave you know what I mean type style stuff if you're producing eggs or chickens or whatever um probably the most one of the most valuable skills that could bring

[01:04:59] money and other resources into your home right off the bat would be to focus on the process of mating you know what I mean because oh yeah if you got chickens and you can

[01:05:12] mate them it's how long I guess that's the question right how long will it be before everybody wants chickens because there's only so many chickens around if people are just buying you know because I've gone through dry spells here like you know two years ago or something

[01:05:30] like that I remember going on craigslist or calling people up that I bought chickens off in the past and they say you know we just sold them all we don't have any right now and this is you know

[01:05:40] before pandemics before people had their eyes open to how crazy this world is getting before supermarket shelves ever went bare so what's it gonna be like to get a chicken and what are

[01:05:50] people gonna pay for a chicken and how many of your neighbors are gonna want chickens in the next year to five years you know people are gonna be like hey man I'll give you whatever

[01:06:00] you want for a dozen chickens or a dozen chicks or whatever so I'd say be prepared yeah and that's why you know you've gotta you've gotta at least have good books that or or or

[01:06:13] print off and keep a folder with you know good information on how to raise your own meat you know you know or or you you're you know you you talk to people that do it so so that you

[01:06:28] understand how to do it in an emergency situation if you need to you also need to know the sources around you where you can get like incubated eggs or or you can buy the chicks and and maintain

[01:06:42] some kind of uh contact with those people you know um you know know where they are right because if all you know is this guy who is on facebook or this person who is on you know

[01:06:55] through you know just through the internet and you don't know physically their addresses and stuff like where they're located you know if the grid you know if the internet goes offline uh then

[01:07:06] you're you're up the creek because yeah you know so you gotta kind of know where where where your sources are you know that's important you got to know you know where the farms are you know

[01:07:17] how to get there you know um you know it would be nice if you can introduce yourself you know and you're right you know uh you know uh if you have a buy some uh incubated eggs and and

[01:07:28] you incubate them yourself you know like uh some fertilized eggs as I should say and you and you uh you know how to incubate those eggs yourselves and raise your own flock and

[01:07:38] and one of the things too is that you gotta mix your flock you can't just you know uh you can't just use reuse the same uh gene pool you know so it's nice if you know a couple people around and

[01:07:52] and you can you know get a few fresh chickens or you know just to freshen up your stock or you know or if you have a goat or sheep or whatever you you have to be able to refresh your gene pool

[01:08:05] yeah yeah for sure so there's a lot to think about but you're bartering and stuff man hey you know you know uh yeah you know if you if you have you know uh six dozen quail eggs you know that's

[01:08:16] you can you can barter you know uh you know or chicken eggs or or if you have extra chickens or or chicks you know and and stuff yeah that's that's bartering that sells the chickens

[01:08:27] if you can be the guy that sells the chickens to people when the time is right and I think the time is going to be right by the end of this year you know where people because what's

[01:08:37] going to happen is people are going to start saying I don't know what the rules are about keeping chickens but I don't even care anymore you know what I mean and they're gonna say yeah my neighbor does it

[01:08:51] my other the neighbor down the street's doing I'm doing it why wouldn't I do I can't even go get eggs they don't know I even had to store so I'm gonna keep some chickens and man if you're the

[01:09:01] guy who can be like yeah come over I got six four years 12 for you whatever so I'd say take I'd say do it from scratch this year if you can especially if you already have them if you already have

[01:09:13] the animals get get yourself a even if you just keep hands get yourself a rooster let nature take its course and uh just kill the kill the damn rooster and eat it when it's done if you don't

[01:09:26] want one around I mean they're atrocious to have a round I think but um yeah but yeah like to your point you gotta know where to get the roosters if you ain't gonna keep the roosters exactly your

[01:09:39] sources are important because you know um because you know like I I found myself thinking about that you know um you know during the early parts of the pandemic it was like okay so I

[01:09:51] I counted myself lucky I was still able to get online and find these sources because if we had lost the internet or something like that then I would not have been able to get my quails I would

[01:10:02] not have been able to get the information I needed you know I had I had waited pretty much my focus was on other things and not on that you know I was stocking food I was doing

[01:10:13] on you know I was doing that and then just out of the blue it was like you know what if we what if we we really can't go to the supermarket what if we're locked in our homes you know for

[01:10:25] months and you can't go to the supermarket at all or your food starts to run out then what you know you have to have some kind of ability to produce your own protein to produce your own

[01:10:39] vegetables you know and and that got me thinking about okay raising my own you know uh uh food sources and and producing producing my own my own vegetables and and and fruits so

[01:10:56] but this is the year of food it's going to be the year of food folks you know uh you know buy those books that teach you how to grow food put them on your shelf you know uh uh you know if you

[01:11:07] find something interesting on the internet just print it off and keep it you know get a binder and keep all that stuff in you know um you know find people around you who know how to garden

[01:11:18] you know go get your seeds now you know start looking at your gardens now you know uh I I have no I haven't put it up but I do have a greenhouse I have a portable greenhouse I haven't put it

[01:11:31] up but I've got one you know and to me that's almost like you know also insurance policy if I ever things got really serious and then I have to extend the growing season you know uh you know uh yeah

[01:11:45] I'm the just in case guy now yeah I'll tell you what if you really want to extend the growing season if you really have concerns about extending growing season um and this might be more relevant

[01:11:59] again by the end of this year than not um get some grow lights for in the house get some real ones get some pot growing pot growing grow lights you know what I mean yeah hydroponics you know

[01:12:14] I'm telling well even if you don't do hydroponics you can just you if you have those grow lights you can grow food in pots in you know whatever seedling trays whatever you want to do you could grow

[01:12:24] spinach in your house in you know 30 days under those lights it's yeah that it's just what we I got two of them from my father-in-law I've never even really unleashed them except when I

[01:12:38] sprout seeds early which will be happening I mean you know hopefully right the end of next month but those things man I'm telling you you get the big ones you know that I I have to look at them to

[01:12:49] tell you exactly what they are but they got the big long bulbs in them they suck power like crazy they're gonna run your power bill up it'd probably be illegal by the climate change Nazis but

[01:13:01] I'm telling you if you had to uh you be able to do it you be able to make some food I I've seen my father-in-law put plants in the ground that were producing fruit already from under those grow lights

[01:13:17] you know what I mean like pepper plants with peppers on them in March or in April wow and you know just from sitting under grow lights eight hours a day good soil right you know heated

[01:13:28] heated pads underneath them and uh it's doable you could grow food in your house it's not the end of the world but those those lights are a little bit they're a little expensive

[01:13:39] but again they could be all right James I've got to kick off man hey it was a pleasure it's always a pleasure to talk that was way more than 20 minutes too by the way but thank you yeah yeah

[01:13:51] I was happy upstairs I was happy no that's all right I get it but it's good to talk to the bases and it's good to talk you know um and I'm sure you guys are gonna carry this conversation

[01:14:04] and you know it's uh I think that we're gonna I think a lot of people are gonna tune into PBN because they're gonna you know they're all waking up realizing that you know the world has gotten

[01:14:17] the world has gone a little crazy and yes people have to be self-sustaining you know that's that's the key you've you've said it a lot of times you know that you've got to be able to you know

[01:14:28] sustain yourself and your family to some degree you know self-sufficiency is gonna be important this year and food food is going to be important this year so yeah all right James all right my

[01:14:40] man it's always a pleasure I'll talk to you soon and thanks thanks for having me thank you thank you carl b is with us pbn family uh I was 100 prepared to come at this thing solo

[01:14:57] and uh hey we good so vivo son I don't know anything about these I'm trying to find a link for the chat room um of the grow lights that I have but vivo son has put out some grow lights

[01:15:14] dimmable diodes sunlight full sunlight spectrum let me throw these in the thing I don't know how big this thing is these little expensive uh but anyway I just wanted to throw that link

[01:15:32] in the chat so people could have a look at it yeah living on the fault uh I'm not talking like peppers you could harvest but I'm talking about you know flowered already flowered little peppers on the

[01:15:46] plants and and leaves that you wouldn't believe leaves that looked like uh I don't they just were so dark they were the darkest deepest dark pepper leaves I'd ever seen all underneath these grow

[01:16:00] lights crazy crazy now my my father-in-law is also a magician with the growing of food he he doesn't it's not like he was a farmer his whole life he just got into gardening like five I don't

[01:16:14] know five years ago six years ago something like that got into gardening went super deep on soil on YouTube and uh you know he's just got a process man he's he's unbelievable food network I really like that building your network of food I like that phraseology by

[01:16:36] carl b that's nice and uh again not the direction I was planning on go we can't get off the topic of food lately so that speaks volumes to what Carl was saying about this year being the

[01:16:49] year of food just remember pbm family it's not all your job you know and that's what's that's what a smart prepper is going to do right a smart prepper is going to find a way

[01:17:04] to produce some food to produce some protein to take advantage don't forget about taking advantage of the rest of the world around you you know what I mean that's a that's something

[01:17:15] that because the bang for the buck is not well that's not even true but the bang for the buck for a lot of people is is not there when it comes to foraging wild foods but that doesn't mean it

[01:17:30] shouldn't be off your radar you know what I mean because there are harvest times in and around your home and in and around your area that are worth talking about you know what I mean and there are harvest times for things like blackberries which grow everywhere

[01:17:47] you know like like everywhere that uh because we can go buy buy a pint of blackberries well I got screwed I'll just you know I'll grab a blackberry off of that bush and eat it and and you know

[01:18:00] give one to my kid and enjoy the novelty and move on but there are harvest times for those things in the wild there are harvest times for pawpaw fruits down by the creeks and rivers

[01:18:09] if you're in the south you know they're down there every year waiting there are harvest times for black walnuts in the fall I mean black what you know I mean black walnuts you know how many dozens

[01:18:22] of black walnuts you know how many tens of dozens of black walnuts I have walked over in my life the amount of we're talking about protein right the amount of protein that I have stepped

[01:18:37] and pressed into the mud in my life as a kid all the way through adulthood just playing in the rivers and creeks you know fishing come fall come the end of summer come

[01:18:52] fall when those green uh you know those big green balls fall and hit the ground from the black walnut tree nobody picks them nobody harvests those things you know the squirrels eat

[01:19:04] them up but if you're moving into a world where alternative everything is the is the the thought process now why wouldn't you head down there why wouldn't you head down there and process some of those

[01:19:19] things right take an empty book bag down to the railroad tracks and walk for a little bit at the end of the at the end of the summer you can leave the any any common railroad track path you walk

[01:19:33] around there enough around some kind of creek or river or pond or lake and you're going to find enough to fill a bag to the brim zip it close and walk up out of those woods with with a pile of

[01:19:43] walnuts a lot of that stuff people preppers not just people but preppers don't even take advantage right how much fish did you eat this year right you probably went to the beach you probably went to a lake or something along those lines how much fish did you harvest

[01:20:01] and eat this year there are people there are communities of people right the Asians are like this they're tremendous they uh they go down to the to the I see the Mexicans doing it too

[01:20:14] I know now I'm in trouble right why is white guy talking about about Asians and Mexicans must be a racist they go down there with coolers they bring coolers full of food back

[01:20:24] you know what I mean they fillet the fish they freeze them when we talk about the scarcity of food it's important to understand all the doors that you have not even approached let alone not

[01:20:38] opened I'm speaking to myself here I fish all year you know many fish fish I keep per year I don't think I I didn't keep a single fish this year um here in Virginia I think we brought

[01:20:51] a few trout home on opening day this year couple two or three you know cook them up whatever we had some trout yay victory but I catch fish all year long you know what I mean

[01:21:03] throw them back throw them back throw them back so there's tons of opportunity if you put yourself out there I mean I guess the key is to put yourself out there in those

[01:21:14] environments right if you do it from a book if you do it from YouTube um then you're so far removed from it that you're never gonna do it you're just never gonna do it but if you're out

[01:21:28] there with those wild foods and you can say to yourself I know next Saturday exactly where to go to get this thing and I'm gonna go get some of it you know it's it's that it's that thing

[01:21:41] but anyway establishing that network of food is important and something tells me that this mentality that we kind of hone in over this year will be able to apply to almost anything your network of food all right your network of people all right your network of goods your

[01:22:01] network of whatever communication so on and so forth right because it's all about that mentality of opening as many doors as possible having as many answers as you possibly can't and I don't know what to tell you guys it's hard to explain but when you grow up

[01:22:23] with a lot of people this stuff comes really naturally you become really good at being resourceful and I guess it's just because you know you're one little piece of a much bigger thing you know that things can be scarce you know the time can be scarce attention

[01:22:42] can be scarce and you get real good at grabbing what you need to grab what's yours you know you get real resourceful those who can be adaptable those who can be resourceful

[01:22:56] they they always win in history so keep that in mind I think that's about it tonight pbn family for preppers live I do enjoy you I do appreciate you I got knocked off my rocker a little bit

[01:23:12] there in the beginning of the show and that's okay no big deal glad to have Dave Jones on glad to have Carl be on it was wonderful and I think that's about it I don't know what else anything else
