[00:04:38] jealous jealous, but
[00:04:41] Yeah, man. Thanks so much. This was
[00:04:44] This was very impromptu it happened very fast. You got a great. I don't know what Danielle she did a great job
[00:04:52] Yeah, kudos to her. She made this thing happen
[00:04:56] She's an awesome we get a great team that are working hard great, you know to get us out there and Danielle
[00:05:01] I actually had the greatest intro call with her today are not intro but calling about this to see if it was video
[00:05:06] or if I could actually relax and
[00:05:08] When I called her I had no idea based on our emails
[00:05:11] she's she has such a
[00:05:14] New York accent from back home and it was just an awesome conversation
[00:05:18] It's just reminded so she has great people and they're all over the country and I just love them to death
[00:05:23] And I'm glad we could get you know get connected and get together live today
[00:05:27] Right on man. So, you know one of the big things and it's more personal
[00:05:33] Because I really enjoyed the topic
[00:05:34] One of the big things I saw that you'd like to talk about
[00:05:37] I wanted I want you to intro yourself first
[00:05:40] but I did like the idea of talking about this prepping gone mainstream idea because I
[00:05:46] Don't know man
[00:05:46] It's just something I hoped for for a very long time
[00:05:49] And it's something I saw happen and it's something we all hear at PBN kind of you know watched take place
[00:05:56] So it's always good to get another person's perspective on that
[00:05:59] But I think before we get into that I know a lot about you because I read the brief sent over to me and
[00:06:06] But the audience they don't know quite enough yet. So why don't you let them know who Jason Nelson is and what it is?
[00:06:12] He's up to
[00:06:14] Gosh, so that's such a broad question. Did you know as once a contestant on the price is right?
[00:06:19] Oh, man, I saw I was sick from school one day. Yes. I remember you. Yeah. No, I
[00:06:28] Yeah, I'm not sure 44 so yeah, I'm one of those in
[00:06:34] Americans who decided that at the age of 18 that Paris Island would be a fun place to spend summer camp
[00:06:40] So I joined the Marine Corps at the tender age of 18
[00:06:44] I took a break after eight years in the court to go to college and then after
[00:06:49] College I went back into I went into the army
[00:06:52] I went into civil affairs and psychological operations which falls under use of socks
[00:06:56] So United States Army Special Operations Command
[00:06:58] I really wanted to do that particular job the Marine Corps had a very limited field
[00:07:03] So I went in and did that and the Army and some of the best training some just the best people
[00:07:09] You're ever going to serve with and the whole job is built around problem solving
[00:07:14] you know finding complex problems and creating simple measurable solutions and
[00:07:20] It was just it was an amazing opportunity to go around the world
[00:07:23] To be deployed places humanitarian missions
[00:07:27] You know, obviously Afghanistan and things like that but more importantly the opportunity interact with a lot of
[00:07:34] different cultures because you know people have problems in places and it always is
[00:07:39] It isn't always about money often. It's about people teaching people self-reliance
[00:07:44] Which is so all of that sort of dovetailed into when I retired
[00:07:49] You know, I left
[00:07:51] Let's see Janu so two years ago
[00:07:54] And then when I retired I wanted something to do that could
[00:07:58] I had run for congress right when I retired more of to get to know my community
[00:08:02] You know after 20 years away. It's it's it's a lot and down here
[00:08:07] I asked hey, what are the biggest things people need to solve and they said well
[00:08:10] We need to continue to build our agrarian sector beef chicken things like that are huge down here in texas corn
[00:08:16] But more importantly
[00:08:18] We need jobs and so I left sort of that race and got second place. It's pretty proud of that
[00:08:25] And I went off and said well, what can I do?
[00:08:28] What's a what's a problem I can solve that I can also apply to both and then of course
[00:08:32] We started our company prepper all naturals, which was originally prepper organics, which was chicken
[00:08:38] And we were really proud of our product
[00:08:39] But it was we thought that's what all you could do was chicken and we just wanted to create solutions for the kind of
[00:08:46] Junk that's out there, you know that a lot of people consider prepper food
[00:08:50] and
[00:08:52] little did we know that the reason people weren't doing beef was just because I guess it's hard and so we
[00:08:57] Went and created some simple solutions there and started our company prepper all naturals
[00:09:02] And that's been my last, you know two years has been watching this company grow and it's been amazing
[00:09:08] You know being able to watch our our little company start to support
[00:09:13] You know over a dozen families with with you know high-paying jobs
[00:09:18] That you know take advantage of our agrarian sector exactly what we wanted to do
[00:09:22] but more importantly to create sort of something we could
[00:09:26] Give to everyday americans out there that I don't think we had the opportunity
[00:09:31] That I don't think they have the opportunity to get anywhere else. And so it was
[00:09:36] Taking our mission my main mission in life and my partners who you know come from the similar backgrounds
[00:09:42] That what it was was to find simple measurable solutions for complex problems
[00:09:47] And you know, you talk about prepping going mainstream
[00:09:50] I don't think anything could make prepping go any more mainstream than what covid did to the average america
[00:09:56] Well before we get rocking on that
[00:09:59] um
[00:09:59] What exactly is prepper all naturals?
[00:10:03] So prepper all naturals uh what we were was again, and we were prepper organics and and we
[00:10:09] Our goal was to find a way for people to be able to get high quality animal protein that you could you knew it from source to
[00:10:17] To end products everywhere it came from now you're talking our goals
[00:10:21] Our goals were simple all american company meaning
[00:10:25] Everything we do is american or
[00:10:28] Whether it's our mylar bags which come from florida or our
[00:10:32] Oxygen absorbers which come from wisconsin, you know everything has to come from america
[00:10:37] The the cattle
[00:10:38] When we moved to cattle and moved to beef
[00:10:42] The big thing was is that we wanted to provide people
[00:10:45] Um, you know, I wanted to be able to tell people that I went out and I walk with their cattle every week
[00:10:50] Like I go out there and do it just so I can tell people if those are your cattle out there
[00:10:54] Like on our website the pictures you see are our cows
[00:10:57] and so
[00:10:59] It was so we could say look we know what's not being injected into them
[00:11:03] We know it's being fit how they're being finished and and we know when it goes to slaughter
[00:11:09] That it's being slaughtered in us. I mean we just have the most wonderful processing
[00:11:14] Company that are plant, but it's a family owned operation and we've essentially taken them over
[00:11:20] In a positive way and and you know they they hand slaughter our our cattle in a humane way and
[00:11:26] And hand carve it and we were able to you know do things that other people don't do like
[00:11:31] Take ribeye, new york strip
[00:11:34] Your tenderloin and separated out so people who you know, maybe don't want to live off of
[00:11:40] Taco flavored beef porridge or whatever it is that people sell
[00:11:44] If you wanted to have something that actually supplemented your home garden
[00:11:47] You know not everybody can have a cow and not everybody's going to have the ability even in a barter economy to have access to beef
[00:11:54] And animal proteins are so important
[00:11:56] And and I think that so we just had a very simple mission to go out and create something that nobody else was doing
[00:12:02] And then provide people an alternative to what's out there
[00:12:05] You know as a person who's eaten my fair share of of freeze-dried food and mre's
[00:12:11] I know what the difference is between you know just getting a caloric intake and actually enjoying what you're eating
[00:12:16] Sure, so you're dealing in
[00:12:20] In freeze dried
[00:12:23] cuts
[00:12:24] Of beef
[00:12:25] Not ground beef not you know
[00:12:29] Whatever kind of leftovers they have once they're done actually trimming beef and selling the expensive parts you guys have it broke down by
[00:12:37] Diced and I guess it's all diced right like large
[00:12:40] Something like that. It's it's hand carved it
[00:12:43] So it's not even I wouldn't use the word diced because people would get the you know
[00:12:46] It's I mean wanted to I mean two inch pieces
[00:12:49] You know, it's a good shot. It's if you were to eat it you you know, you're gonna have to
[00:12:53] You know have to cut it
[00:12:54] At most instances because that's it's real beef, you know and we sous-vied
[00:12:59] Which is uh, we sous-vied to pasteurization and before we freeze try it. So it's actually um
[00:13:04] You know, it's a bp a free plastic. It's uh, it's it's cooked in its own au jus
[00:13:10] Um, actually just came from uh over there today. We had a cooking day. It was amazing
[00:13:14] The beef is just like when it comes out and we put it right in the freeze dryers
[00:13:17] Just uh, and I just don't think many people
[00:13:21] Based on what we were seeing and again, it's I'm not gonna knock on any company
[00:13:25] It's just I don't I don't know why people weren't providing this and I had to do my research and find out
[00:13:30] You know people are buying like government surplus cows, you know that kind of stuff
[00:13:34] I guess that's where a beef crumble comes from is a surplus cow
[00:13:39] But you're thinking I mean why why is it have to be that why does it have to be that way?
[00:13:43] I mean, uh beef prices are going up
[00:13:46] But we started, you know
[00:13:47] Two years ago to be able to start locking in cattle and buying cattle futures because we knew and and that was hard to do by the way
[00:13:53] You know, they don't give out, uh, they don't say oh, you're 100% combat disabled
[00:13:56] Here's free money to go start a business. I mean we had to do it the hard hard way, you know, uh like
[00:14:02] Telling like two cows in the first month
[00:14:05] And and working so hard just to get to where we are now where we're processing, you know 90 cattle
[00:14:10] 90 head a month and we're moving into bison
[00:14:12] And so this is just it's taken a lot of work to do this and it's been so amazing to see the response from people because it's true
[00:14:20] People do want something different than what's out there. They want to be able to supplement
[00:14:24] What they know they can grow and things like that with with real quality beef
[00:14:28] And that's what we're most proud of probably is that we were we set out to do something and we actually did it
[00:14:33] Yeah, well congratulations, man
[00:14:36] an american oriented business like that having successes
[00:14:40] About as good as it gets on a cold monday in virginia for me. I'll tell you that much. I love the story
[00:14:46] but um, you know
[00:14:49] Finding that you have this product
[00:14:52] It seems like it has a lot of general, you know use around and it just it brings to bear the idea of just how much
[00:14:59] Food is changing, you know, and we get a lot of you know
[00:15:03] We've been bitching and moaning over here at pbn about the appeal product created by bill gates
[00:15:08] And it's easy to complain about the things in the food industry that scare you and make you nervous
[00:15:15] About the future of food in the country, but it's like I said at the beginning of the show, man
[00:15:20] there's just people like you out there who have we haven't discovered yet
[00:15:25] And and there's that whole other side of the food industry that's being put together to serve people
[00:15:31] The best quality stuff in ways that we haven't even thought of yet
[00:15:35] You know, I mean
[00:15:38] I mean there's a lot of outside of the prepping world jason a lot of people who'd be interested in what you guys are doing
[00:15:45] Well, you know what's what's and thank you and what's I think is interesting is that we weren't just looking at
[00:15:50] Funny enough the prepping side of it when we when I think when people use the word prepping
[00:15:54] It's used too loosely to mean, you know almost a
[00:15:58] As the original thing to you know, oh, oh, you're a prepper
[00:16:03] I'm we're reading at home schooling right now
[00:16:04] We're reading a little house in the big woods, you know first book in the little house in the prairie
[00:16:08] And my kids I'm telling them the whole part where they're storing up for winter essentially
[00:16:13] And I'm laughing because I'm realizing my kids aren't blinking their eyes at that, you know, they're little kids
[00:16:18] But they're just going oh, yeah, of course you have a ton of food in your house. That's what you're supposed to have, right
[00:16:23] It's it's it's interesting. I think people they go there at the side of it
[00:16:27] but then there's this whole other side where I
[00:16:30] We were looking at it, you know prices just fluctuate but we pay farmers
[00:16:35] Not to grow crops in this country
[00:16:37] You pay farmers not to what?
[00:16:39] And you think well, you know, why aren't we taking advantage when prices are low and doing
[00:16:45] Finding unique ways to store that product so that when prices, you know when the when the
[00:16:50] Ability to grow it or or produce that product or that crop is not as high and you the prices start to rise
[00:16:56] You can supplement it and we send so much aid around the world and just being able to reduce the weight by 75%
[00:17:03] On everything you send and you know, it doesn't limit you to sending rice anymore. Now all of a sudden it's like, oh wait a minute
[00:17:08] This great booming bison industry. Why aren't we sending that?
[00:17:13] Instead so we can actually, you know help people in areas and get them healthy, you know that kind of thing
[00:17:18] It's weird
[00:17:18] But it's it's a paradigm shift and I think that we're seeing the world start to look at it a little bit differently
[00:17:23] Because you have lab grown meat and I I don't know about you, but I think beef is grown into pasture not an apetite dish
[00:17:29] I can't even I can't even imagine man
[00:17:33] You know and and that's why people like you are so important because everybody's going to be running
[00:17:37] To one side or the other, you know what? I mean, there's going to be the lab grown. It's cheap
[00:17:42] The the news tells me I should eat it and that's fine
[00:17:45] Soil in green crowd and then you know, there's going to be a whole another group of people that are like I need
[00:17:51] I need options. You know, I need I want all the option. I'm the type of guy Jason
[00:17:56] I want all the options. You know what I mean? Like when I find a product like yours
[00:17:59] I'm like, oh, let's just add it to the list, baby with one another
[00:18:03] Another option to be eating beef when they're telling me to eat crickets
[00:18:07] Yep, I you know the thing is is I think what a lot of people forget is is notice how many strings came attached
[00:18:14] To just and again, I just used the most recent example, but the COVID
[00:18:18] Thing the lockdowns, you know and the and the supply chain limitations you saw people who wanted to go out and
[00:18:27] If they wanted to enjoy the freedom to get what they wanted there was a string attached, right?
[00:18:32] You had to do comply with certain prerequisites
[00:18:36] Well, it's okay. Whatever you want to say on this. Yeah
[00:18:39] So, you know, yeah, yeah, so if you wanted the vaccines killing everybody
[00:18:44] You're allowed to say that it's no big deal. It's not killing everybody
[00:18:49] Yeah, no, um, yeah, no, it's okay. So yeah, they you know, they walked us all down and said, yeah
[00:18:54] You got to go take a jab if you want to go to the store, right?
[00:18:57] You know, it is all sorts of crap
[00:18:59] They were sure and they were
[00:19:01] The the point is is that that should wake people up to the idea that if you are in a situation where the government
[00:19:08] Is going to be your primary source of sustenance
[00:19:10] There's going to be strings attached to it, right?
[00:19:13] And and we'd love to think that we have a benevolent favorable government
[00:19:16] That's gonna maintain our our republic in the event of a massive crisis, but
[00:19:21] Eh, I think they tend to skew towards not and
[00:19:25] My favorite Jason
[00:19:27] my favorite was when
[00:19:29] Fat chris chris. He told everybody to get off the beach
[00:19:33] You're killing people get off the damn beach and then the drone came out and caught him on the same beach with his family
[00:19:40] The whole beach was cleared out and he was just sitting there with his
[00:19:45] King christy up there. Oh, that was my that was one of my the top highlights
[00:19:50] Of covet was chris christy clearing the beach so he could go chill down there with his family
[00:19:55] I loved it. It was like this is great
[00:19:58] I love all I love all people
[00:19:59] But I just saying if you look like chris christy, you'd probably want the beach cleared if you were
[00:20:04] Yeah, good shirt off. I'm just saying but yeah aOC going down to florida, you know all that stuff
[00:20:09] Well, it doesn't count. I've been florida
[00:20:11] Oh
[00:20:12] But great no, but honestly it really was great. It was great for people to see
[00:20:18] What these guys would do
[00:20:19] When it really all came when they locked you up in your house
[00:20:23] This is what they'll do and it was important for them to for the veil to be lifted and go like
[00:20:27] Oh, I got to start thinking for myself here because this is not the fantasy. I thought it was
[00:20:32] Yeah, I but you mean our government doesn't love us
[00:20:37] They love taxing us I think
[00:20:39] I I don't know if my kids still believe in Santa Claus. So we got that
[00:20:43] There you go
[00:20:44] God, I don't you know, but it did weight people up in it. I think what more importantly was
[00:20:49] It was a reassessment. So so I do like the topic because you brought it up
[00:20:53] I didn't pick that topic, but I thought it was a great topic. You know, why is it becoming so mainstream?
[00:20:58] I'm like gosh, of course, it's becoming mainstream because all of a sudden people had to go without stuff
[00:21:02] You know and you had a lot of people that
[00:21:05] moved out people who had uh
[00:21:08] Um some abilities still, you know people aren't as lazy as they I mean
[00:21:11] I know we give a lot of crap to people in urban areas because you don't have a car
[00:21:15] I live on a ranch. What's wrong with you? And it's like, uh, no, you know, everybody can't but they a lot of people
[00:21:21] I'll have it in them, you know to go out and and to be self-sufficient. I think that's so important and
[00:21:26] um, what you're seeing is it is an interest in people saying hey, I
[00:21:30] There's so many factors I see causing this but what I know is it isn't just about surviving
[00:21:36] You know the next two weeks. It isn't about canned goods or what's in my freezer
[00:21:40] It's about what's going to sustain me while I can help get on my feet and and you know
[00:21:45] Integrate into some other larger community. I mean it's realistic to people now
[00:21:48] The idea that an emp could shut down the entire
[00:21:51] You know country and send us back to the stone age. I don't think that's a far-fetched thing anymore
[00:21:55] I think people see that and uh, and that's just one example. Yeah
[00:22:02] Obama's told us, uh, yeah, but you know you turn around and you have a solar flare
[00:22:06] It doesn't matter what it is the point is that people realize how vulnerable they are, right?
[00:22:10] You know and they just like I don't like this. I don't like this feeling in this uh, and and being dependent on others
[00:22:16] We're a great country with great people that I think
[00:22:19] Know what it's like to be self-sufficient and how important that is and how much that means for the survival and success of your family
[00:22:26] I think that's where the depression and suicide are coming from Jason. I think they're
[00:22:30] living up to the expectations of comfort and convenience
[00:22:35] And they know in their heart and in their soul that like man, I could do more
[00:22:39] I should be doing more like i'm capable of more and I imagine if you're not
[00:22:45] Striving
[00:22:46] You know that the vicissitudes of life will definitely wear you down and and make you depressed if your whole life is
[00:22:53] I go to this job
[00:22:54] I hate and then I spend the rest of my night on my phone
[00:22:56] And I got kids. I don't get to see or whatever bag of you know
[00:23:01] Shit you're carrying around it has to be balanced out by
[00:23:06] You know really striving for something and working hard for things. I think that's what what I think that's
[00:23:11] Really what's kept me engaged in the prepping world for so long, you know, I definitely got here out of fear
[00:23:16] but what's kept me here is like
[00:23:18] Substance plateaus and plateau, you know, I mean all these different
[00:23:23] You know, I call it the river with many tributaries because that's what I think prepping really is
[00:23:27] And it just keeps you going it keeps you motivated keeps you learning and striving man
[00:23:31] And you know, you seem just like the type of guy who's
[00:23:34] mid-strive
[00:23:37] That's it's we live in a vapid society, you know, we do and
[00:23:41] I I am not going to disagree with you that I think that depression went through the roof
[00:23:46] A lot of it was people realizing just how isolated they really were
[00:23:50] You know, they think they live in this comfortable world of the internet and then when that's all they had
[00:23:54] If they all of a sudden realized that they missed a sense of community, right?
[00:23:58] But also they don't have any substance in their life and that's what the prepping world does have
[00:24:04] I will tell you that it's because it isn't just about I mean
[00:24:07] Sure, you have your people with their bunkers full of stuff, right?
[00:24:11] And and they have the means to do that and and congrats to them and that's awesome
[00:24:15] But for a lot of people I think it's about um
[00:24:17] Being able it's more than that. It's about applying a skill
[00:24:21] Are learning a new skill or like I meet people who just tell me
[00:24:26] Oh, you know what I learned to do is this and it'll just be the weirdest and most of the main thing and you think
[00:24:30] Oh, wait a minute. That would be really useful if everything fell apart and you just like oh, you're a blacksmith for fun
[00:24:36] That sounds of a really stressful. Oh wait, man. You're right. What are we gonna have if we didn't and you can actually make stuff
[00:24:43] Wow, okay
[00:24:45] And and I'm just using a stupid example, but you know, I never thought if you'd asked me
[00:24:49] 10 years ago if I would be learning how to can
[00:24:53] You know, I would have said you were insane and now the sourdough phenomenon. Remember that remember the sourdough phenomenon
[00:25:00] Everybody was like we're making sourdough at home because we're bored
[00:25:04] That was like there was something in there in their
[00:25:07] DNA from the pioneer days that was going off and they were like do you know learn how to do something
[00:25:13] Other than play xbox. You got to know how to do something
[00:25:16] It's almost like it nobody played
[00:25:17] It's like nobody played organ trail growing up and they didn't realize that if you don't have all that stuff
[00:25:22] You die of snake bite or dysentery, right? So, uh, just all these people. I was like wait a minute
[00:25:27] I need to learn how to do stuff. Yes, you do. Yes, you do
[00:25:30] And then that's the bait that is the best part of this community
[00:25:32] It really is and as I've met people it isn't just on the
[00:25:37] I don't even like to use the word prepping but on the on those who
[00:25:41] um
[00:25:42] In that direct community it's it's being going out and spending a lot of time with ranchers and farmers
[00:25:48] You know, you really get the difference between those who were doing it for
[00:25:52] A profit or because they fell into a family business and those who take great pride in it, you know, and and and the things they do
[00:25:58] A lot of people have gone to sustainable
[00:26:01] uh, uh branching and things like that. So
[00:26:03] Uh, but it's it's across the area the people you meet and just knowing the different culture that they bring
[00:26:09] And say it's different than the rest of the world and more people are waking up to it and I love it
[00:26:13] The beef industry always kind of strikes me as that it always strikes me as kind of like a
[00:26:19] big brimmed hat wearing very prideful sort of, you know, pride in the process
[00:26:25] generational
[00:26:26] You know, it's I don't know if this is even true or if it's just sort of a little
[00:26:30] Carrick a true I developed in my own head
[00:26:32] But it seems like a rare thing for a guy to be like
[00:26:35] I want to grow up and start a cattle farm, you know
[00:26:38] I mean it just seems like one of those things where you have like generations of people doing it and
[00:26:43] You know, I don't know if that's true or not. You probably could speak to that
[00:26:47] Well, I mean, it's both so our uh, our primary ranch
[00:26:50] I say that because um, we're looking at a second generational family right now
[00:26:55] But our primary ranch is gosh 120 years they've been in business, um, you know
[00:27:00] It's and and it only passes to one child and if they just
[00:27:04] They've done an amazing job and they take such pride in it. Um
[00:27:08] That's Bernard beef. They have just you know Blair as and her husband
[00:27:13] They just do an amazing job down there and you're like, oh, why did why is it so different than other places?
[00:27:18] And then when I go and meet other places, I say, oh, you don't care as much
[00:27:22] I can tell I can tell this isn't a source of pride
[00:27:25] And I've been in many states I go meet people, you know, the people were getting our bison from
[00:27:29] It wasn't because of the only people that have bison, you know, we we flew out to ranches and went met and
[00:27:34] Walked around I want to see what they're doing and why they do it. Do the why do they care?
[00:27:38] And and it tells a lot and
[00:27:41] It tells a lot in the quality product you get from them as well
[00:27:44] Yeah, that's a really cool cons that man being I don't you know, the beef concept makes sense
[00:27:49] But I don't think even in my wildest dreams. I would have thought
[00:27:53] I have freeze dried bison on my shelf for
[00:27:58] When it all goes awry or maybe not, you know
[00:28:01] I mean the funny thing about being a prepper you can probably speak to it too is just
[00:28:04] You wind up using a bunch of the stuff that you think you're putting away for doomsday
[00:28:09] And it starts getting integrated into your lifestyle
[00:28:12] You know like it just becomes sort of a part of your lifestyle
[00:28:16] I think you what you do is obviously you use what you have but then you get curious about it
[00:28:21] You're like, oh, well, you know, I said this this thing said it would be good for
[00:28:23] I mean we take 25 years on the bag and if you hold it, you know, if you store it properly meaning in a closet
[00:28:31] It's it's good for that long with people sit there go. Oh
[00:28:34] I mean inflation is so bad. I don't think that in three years
[00:28:38] Anybody's going to have any survival food left
[00:28:40] But the point is is that you know it is good if you can find good products
[00:28:44] And when you talk about it even like how much of your preserves have you used if you can, you know
[00:28:49] I know we use some flowers
[00:28:50] Um already because it's supposed to sit in there for like 10 years or where five years
[00:28:55] I can't my wife tells me this stuff on the canning, but you know, I love it. Yeah, I'm gonna open it up now. Sorry
[00:29:01] It's terrible with the dehydrator. I mean the dehydrator that stands no chance
[00:29:05] Like I have no no real surplus dehydrated anything because I just I love eating that stuff
[00:29:13] Hey kid, it's well. It's definitely again source, right? You know where it came from. Yeah, that's the big deal
[00:29:19] Yeah, it was hard for us when we started this
[00:29:21] again, it was so it was like three things that we were trying to solve at once and one of the things was again quality, right but
[00:29:28] It that takes it takes a lot to get to a point where you're doing something and you think
[00:29:33] No, I would serve this to my family right now. That's that's the goal. It's not the hope
[00:29:39] It's the goal and we said we're not really going to scale this up unless we can do this
[00:29:43] And when we found that we could do it we were happy
[00:29:45] But it's still you know, if you want to eat good food, you don't want to eat junk
[00:29:51] And and I think so many people I don't know McDonald's isn't going to exist in the apocalypse folks
[00:29:57] Probably unlikely to cause it. I don't know if McDonald's is gonna exist for much longer. It's so expensive now
[00:30:04] I heard uh, I've been watching people online. I will admit I went and got it
[00:30:08] I was traveling and I had no choice when bought a subway sandwich
[00:30:11] And it was $17 and 80 cents get out of here. No, I swear to you and I couldn't believe that
[00:30:17] Was it like a two footer or something like that?
[00:30:21] Yeah, it's five foot long right now. It was so it was a single foot long sub
[00:30:25] I couldn't believe it and I just I couldn't believe I ate their first of all because I don't think any of that's real food
[00:30:29] But just the idea is like it was better than eating at McDonald's, right?
[00:30:32] They're gonna kill themselves with prices like that
[00:30:35] That's what the what choice do they have right you have hyperinflation going on right now
[00:30:38] I don't think people realize that again when you want to talk about what that's going to do to our supply chain
[00:30:43] People will not be able to afford
[00:30:45] This is insane
[00:30:46] But we're gonna go back to the point where you cannot afford to eat meat every day and that's exactly what they want
[00:30:52] You know, oh, yeah, they're loving that they want you to
[00:30:55] Because the week the less animal proteins you're eating the the less strength you have to fight back, right?
[00:31:01] And they're gonna. Oh, hey man. They gave you a
[00:31:04] Impossible burger and it gave you impossible boobs if you're a guy, right?
[00:31:07] There you go. That's truth and it's just they found oh wait, you can lactate from eating too much soy
[00:31:12] yeah, no wonder that we've been telling you that
[00:31:15] And they do the same thing at lab grown meat. I mean first of all, I don't know who's trying that
[00:31:20] It's gonna be the idiot that wants to see what happens after 10 years with that
[00:31:23] But the point is
[00:31:24] I mean come on, you know, they they don't want you getting the parts
[00:31:27] They're not gonna let you get the parts that make you stronger
[00:31:30] Yeah, my favorite is
[00:31:32] My favorite right now with the beef and the attack on beef
[00:31:36] And you know, the let's move them to lab grown nonsense is that
[00:31:43] Zuckerberg
[00:31:44] I don't know if you've heard about his cattle ranching
[00:31:49] Exhibition isn't but he has got a cattle farm of his own
[00:31:52] And what he wants to do or what he is doing is feeding his cows macadamia nuts exclusively
[00:31:59] And he's hoping that this is gonna make them cows just the upper echelon
[00:32:04] Of beef and you know for king lizard to be doing something like that that is just hilarious to me like don't eat beef
[00:32:12] It's destroying the planet. I'm gonna have these ones over here that are fed macadamia nuts and truffles
[00:32:18] Don't worry about that. Nothing. Well, they were
[00:32:21] First of all, I really was waiting for the punchline. I genuinely thought that was a joke
[00:32:26] So no, man only macadamia nuts and uh, that's hilarious because first of all, I want to imagine how much what like carbon footprint
[00:32:34] It is to fly macadamia. Can you imagine
[00:32:37] Around the world to feed your private cow stock and he's like it'll be the best
[00:32:42] What like does he just have this big thing for macadamia nut cookies and it was like, you know what I'm gonna do
[00:32:47] I'm only gonna have animals that eat macadamia nuts and then they'll taste like I get
[00:32:51] It's just the dumbest thing I've ever heard. That's the kind of stupid stuff that people
[00:32:56] Idiots are gonna buy it. This is nbcnews.com
[00:32:59] Zuckerberg said he needs a lot of acres of macadamia trees because his cows each eat 5 000 to 10 000 pounds of feed annually
[00:33:10] This is the guy this is the guy who's gonna ban you
[00:33:14] Because you know, you're selling beef
[00:33:17] I don't I've got a lot to even say the reasons why that's insane
[00:33:21] That is that that is genuinely insane and you know, I want to laugh at that
[00:33:24] But I also just think like wait, I want to feed some cows of macadamia nuts to see if it tastes like
[00:33:29] Oh, I'm sure it's delicious. Yeah, I bet you it is
[00:33:32] I'm not yelling at him for doing something that's going to make it no
[00:33:36] It's just the hypocrisy is so phenomenal. You can't it can't stay inside of you
[00:33:41] You know, it's like Al Gore has a uses borepower consumption than like an entire small town and you know, these are the
[00:33:48] They fly jets everywhere. I mean these like like I have to use Skype to talk to somebody
[00:33:53] Because I'm not worthy of using the plane, but they just take the little private plane somewhere
[00:33:58] Yeah, that's right. I don't know man
[00:34:00] You know, it's everybody says these are all conspiracy theories and I'm like no, it's just a conspiracy
[00:34:04] There's a difference. Oh, there you go. Yeah. I mean
[00:34:09] It makes perfect sense
[00:34:11] Doesn't it?
[00:34:12] If they don't yeah
[00:34:14] Go ahead. No, I just say they don't want you to have anything. They don't you know, they
[00:34:18] Here's the crazy part to me about all of this
[00:34:20] They've they've never hidden their agenda ever once they could literally tell you you will eat bugs
[00:34:26] You will own nothing and be happy
[00:34:27] You know, we're gonna have no borders and everybody and they're and everyone's just staring at them going
[00:34:32] Well, I mean except for us, right?
[00:34:36] They don't mean us they mean everybody else. Yeah, but they go do it and then everyone's like, whoa, what happened?
[00:34:43] Uh, oh, yeah, so but that's I like watching the governors do that right now. That's my favorite thing in the mayors
[00:34:49] I like watching them go. Oh no
[00:34:51] It really happened
[00:34:53] There's illegal aliens everywhere. What happened in my sanctuary city
[00:34:58] That's my favorite. That's my favorite right now these days
[00:35:01] What what how dare you how dare you accuse them of not loving their brothers?
[00:35:07] That is just messed up. No, they're the open arms man. That's what sanctuary means
[00:35:11] No, but you know, it's it's but you're you're you're talking about instability
[00:35:15] So why is it so popular now? It these are signs
[00:35:19] You know that broken windows theory, right? So it's the whole signs of
[00:35:23] People see that society is falling apart
[00:35:26] You don't have to be crazy to see the spending the deficit the wars that are starting everywhere
[00:35:32] You know the essentially the breakdown of our borders. I mean, that's
[00:35:37] You know in civil affairs, we actually have terms for this on the country's stability and the breakdown of of its national borders
[00:35:43] Is one of the indicators that society is collapsing? It's a major indicator and that's what we have in this country
[00:35:49] it's insane
[00:35:50] And people just like they look around shocked, you know what what happened
[00:35:55] They're going dude. This is what you voted for this is what's happening
[00:35:58] And you guys are acting like it just snuck up and bit you and in reality, you know these policies have been in effect for years
[00:36:04] Yeah, yeah, I mean that's that's interesting
[00:36:07] But people are waking up to it though and they're prepping at least so
[00:36:11] Yeah, I think some are I think some are I have had through 2020
[00:36:16] I'll tell you the truth Jason. I had several conversations
[00:36:20] Because my op sec in in person is better than my op sec on the internet obviously
[00:36:25] Um, but uh, I have had conversations with run of the mill guys there to fix heaters and fix
[00:36:32] Uh
[00:36:33] roofs and things like that that were kind of chilling
[00:36:36] They were kind of chilling. You know, they were like
[00:36:40] Uh, well if you know, I would talk to them
[00:36:43] You know like a somebody who's hired you for service, you know, like a family that kind of stuff
[00:36:48] Yeah, live and then I would ease into the question of you know, it's crazy. What's going on around here?
[00:36:53] Huh? I mean, it's like and I'd like to get their perspective and I had two got two different guys on two different occasions
[00:36:59] Just say well, I mean I got guns. I'll just go take whatever I need if it gets that bad, you know what I mean
[00:37:06] And I was like oh
[00:37:07] Okay, that's a that's a plan I guess
[00:37:10] That's I've actually heard that answer more times from people than I have I mean seriously
[00:37:16] I go that so what are you doing? You know, they say all the world's crazy
[00:37:19] Well, I got a firearm and a bunch of ammo and I'm thinking
[00:37:23] Oh, so you're you're your plan is to be a thief
[00:37:26] Oh, okay
[00:37:27] Cool
[00:37:28] Your plan is to get shot by somebody and they take your gun. Yeah
[00:37:32] Hey man, you want to I would not want to come to my house. I just put it that way
[00:37:36] But I mean I had overlapping fields of fire
[00:37:39] But still it is the idea that somebody there are a lot of people that truly think like that and and it's a really
[00:37:45] Not oh, I'm going to learn how to hunt and and skin and clean my my game so that I can eat it safely
[00:37:51] They're gonna literally sit here. Well, I'll just go hunt guys. What happens when all that food is gone
[00:37:56] You know, it's not that the grocery stores are going to be empty very quickly
[00:37:59] There's only two weeks of food in any uh distribution center
[00:38:03] So what are you going to do with that? You're going to go fight the military with your little uh
[00:38:07] Little land gun there, you know, I mean you're going to sneak up on an army base and go steal some MRE
[00:38:12] He's no man. You're going to go get in line with everybody else or you're going to get shot trying to steal somebody something
[00:38:16] Yeah, yeah, that's more like it. So do you think here's my question though now all the these years later
[00:38:23] Because when I was coming up before 2020 and talking about prepping and stuff
[00:38:27] There was always this contingent of guys and they may have been the same guys
[00:38:31] but there was always a contingent of guys that were like
[00:38:35] Always very angry that I was a prepper
[00:38:38] You know what I mean? And they would they would say things like we so scared of we so paranoid about you know what I mean?
[00:38:45] All that kind of stuff and I always I always looked at them and said
[00:38:50] These guys know that they should be doing what I'm doing
[00:38:52] But they're too prideful or too busy or think they're too busy to get it done
[00:38:57] And now after listening to that response
[00:39:00] It makes me think this is yet an this is smoke screen
[00:39:04] 2.0 where like they realize things are
[00:39:08] Actually a mess and they can't lie to themselves about that anymore. So their new line of thinking is
[00:39:14] I'll lie to myself and say i'm gonna just use my guns to survive
[00:39:18] You know what I mean? Yeah, it's I don't know you're gonna use your gun to become the victim of your own
[00:39:25] Demise I just and I by the way you should have firearms and you should be able to defend your home
[00:39:30] And maybe that should be a wake-up call to a lot of people to do that
[00:39:33] But oh it has yeah, that's gun ownership is crazy in the country right now man people are buying them
[00:39:38] They're deaf. I don't know how to use them or not, but they're buying
[00:39:41] Yeah, I I mean I think that there's uh, uh this miss um
[00:39:49] Again, you talk about pride
[00:39:52] Let's just say to anybody who's out there who's who's scared to take that first step
[00:39:57] What you don't it's real easy. It's maslow's hierarchy of needs, right? You need uh oxygen water food, you know shelter
[00:40:06] Sanitation there's things that you need to survive
[00:40:08] And it's not hard to slowly start checking that off the list and you you shouldn't take it as a matter of
[00:40:14] Oh, you were right and I was wrong and that hurts my feelings. So now I'm going to double down
[00:40:18] It just I don't care if I was right the whole time
[00:40:21] I don't I I already know I'm right. That's why my goal life's goals are built around this
[00:40:25] You know is is because I want to help as many Americans be as ready as they need to be and that's and I already know
[00:40:32] I'm right. So maybe you guys should stop being worried about that. We didn't we're not going to laugh at you
[00:40:37] We're gonna sit here and say, oh, okay, cool
[00:40:39] You know when your buddy you knew your friends out there who probably made funny if they came to you all of a sudden and said
[00:40:44] Hey, how does this reverse osmosis thingy work or which one should I buy? Are you going to make fun of them?
[00:40:48] Or are you going to get excited about it? Oh, man, I got a story for you on this topic
[00:40:54] When in 2020 business insider and the new york times interviewed me about
[00:40:59] Several things pertaining to preparedness for you know, the general public and both of them
[00:41:05] Wanted me to give a message to those who are unprepared
[00:41:09] And they wanted they they'll phrase the question like do you feel vindicated?
[00:41:14] Because you were right about all this stuff
[00:41:17] And I gave them the worst answers ever because I didn't even want them to put it
[00:41:21] You know, I mean I didn't even want right. We none of us in the network
[00:41:23] All the preppers that we knew none of us were like ha ha told you so
[00:41:28] Glad you're punching each other over toilet paper. Like it never even crossed our minds. We were like, dude, we're on our grind like we
[00:41:35] We are not worried about that
[00:41:37] But it was crazy because both organizations were like that they both had that question in the list of questions for me
[00:41:43] Which was like, you know say something mean about the people who are unprepared and I'm like, we mean like you like the one
[00:41:49] Emailing I mean the one talking to me right now. Yeah, what do you have in your house?
[00:41:53] Yeah, you got like four cans of food and some spaghettios and you're just like I'm prepared
[00:41:57] No, you're you I don't think that any of us are sitting here
[00:42:01] Again feeling vindicated would mean that we doubted what we were saying all along and here we are
[00:42:06] Everyone was saying three years ago the world is going to get it more unstable under a biden regime
[00:42:11] administration
[00:42:12] That they were going to turn around and make things
[00:42:15] More unstable because we saw the same thing, you know, seven years ago under obama, right? And that's not a
[00:42:22] It doesn't have to be an us versus them thing. It's just a foreign policy
[00:42:26] And it sucks
[00:42:28] So, you know, I don't I don't I'm not wagging my finger over my nose or whatever and saying neener neener right now
[00:42:35] I'm just like, oh glad you guys finally see it. How can I help you?
[00:42:38] That's it
[00:42:39] That's that's that and that is so across the board with preppers man. That's a wild thing
[00:42:45] That's one of the wildest things so rare that you run into one of these guys
[00:42:49] I don't know if it's like the christian element in there. I don't know if you're christian jason, but that there's some kind of a
[00:42:55] It's it extends beyond that because I wasn't really always a died in the will christian when I was prepping either but
[00:43:01] There's something in there that it's very christ-like. I'll tell you that much which is like, okay
[00:43:05] You've come you've come seeking this knowledge and this salvation dude come on under the tent. You know what I mean?
[00:43:11] It's very rare. I get out of here
[00:43:14] It's teach a man to fish right so christ
[00:43:16] That's what he commanded teach a man to fish not not
[00:43:19] You know because you forgive him a fish you've held him for one day, but you teach him the fish and you've you know fed him for a lifetime
[00:43:26] And that's so I do see that. I mean i'm a christian, but it isn't what I mean
[00:43:31] I wouldn't say it which obviously that drives everything in my life, but you get my point
[00:43:34] It's not it isn't that I feel well
[00:43:37] I guess I should give up some knowledge
[00:43:39] It's that we're excited that people want because like you just pointed out the more people that we help
[00:43:45] Repair the less people that think they're going to grab a firearm and come to my house and steal from me right
[00:43:50] Or even or even just put their family in the worst possible position
[00:43:55] You know, I know that goes out and gets killed trying to break into somebody's house to feed his family
[00:44:00] And now he's got a family that has no dad no man in the family
[00:44:04] And they're trying to survive now and they're already out of food like what yep, there's no worse situation
[00:44:11] No, nobody wants to see and I think that's across the whole
[00:44:14] Culture here and I call the prepper culture
[00:44:16] But the the entire thing is this idea again if of self-reliance
[00:44:21] And and self sustainability and if if you can
[00:44:25] Provide people with the now here's going to be the shock the real shock is going to be
[00:44:30] When nobody has anything
[00:44:31] You know like the the common things that they're so used to and if you don't know how to make soap or if you don't know
[00:44:37] Where you can trade for it? I think that's going to be the largest shock for even most preppers
[00:44:42] If you will but but again if you have the basics down and and again part of why we did the company was so
[00:44:49] Hey, you know, you don't you can have sir loin steak or you can have tenderloin
[00:44:53] But in the end there's not going to be that many options
[00:44:56] And you're not always going to have that ability to just reach for another amenity
[00:45:00] And I think that'll be a shock but I think outside of that you're seeing more and more people who understand the basic necessities
[00:45:05] They need to survive and they understand how to get them and how to begin to prepare their families to do with less
[00:45:11] um
[00:45:12] I don't know
[00:45:13] I think it just be a shock for a lot of kids when they turn on their phone and it doesn't work
[00:45:18] You know or or they turn on the faucet and water doesn't come out. I mean really imagine that shock
[00:45:23] Yeah, that's a big one man the water don't come out of the fall
[00:45:26] Or you know what what is most likely to happen. I think with the faucets is
[00:45:31] Just like everything else in our society right now. Do we trust it?
[00:45:35] You know if several localities
[00:45:38] Start getting cyber hacked and and you know, it happened in florida. They almost released uh speaking of soap
[00:45:46] Uh, what what's the chemical caustic?
[00:45:49] I can't think of what it's called
[00:45:50] But it's the same lie they stay released lie into the water anyway
[00:45:54] But they they turned the side so it was in florida hackers got into the system
[00:46:00] They raised the amount of lie that was going to go into the water to a level that would have been dangerous
[00:46:05] The person on staff caught it
[00:46:08] And I started thinking to myself, you know, I know that what's going on right now with cyber attacks has to be absolutely
[00:46:14] Uncanny because of what's happened in the middle east and russia and china
[00:46:18] um
[00:46:19] And and it only takes I think like how many attacks where water gets poisoned and people drink poison water
[00:46:25] Does it take before people go?
[00:46:27] Okay, i'm not using the tap water anymore
[00:46:29] Oh
[00:46:30] And first of all that's probably the first time the government ever stopped itself from lying to us. I just want to point that out
[00:46:36] um
[00:46:38] the
[00:46:39] No, it's it's how many how many before we won't ship our uh, you know our food stuffs across rails
[00:46:47] You know where it delays because we have to lower speeds by 20 or 30 miles an hour in order to prepare for whatever
[00:46:53] A lot of cheap things that people can do to disrupt
[00:46:56] And and and we're not even meaning it could be intentional or unintentional
[00:47:00] We see what weather disruptions do right, but I just don't think people realize how precarious our food
[00:47:06] Supply system is our supply chain system in general and I don't think
[00:47:10] It was like somebody saying you shouldn't kill cows. You should get your beef from the store like I do
[00:47:16] What?
[00:47:16] Yeah, it was this one of this this like, uh, you know the generation z thing they if this woman goes out and says hey
[00:47:23] Um, I think it's horrible that you guys kill cows and I and you know, I go to the store and get my beef
[00:47:27] Why can't you do that as well?
[00:47:29] Where are these people's parents at jason?
[00:47:32] How come the parents never swoop down and go do delete that right now? It's so stupid
[00:47:37] You know what I mean? I think there's a lot of drugs. I'm I'm hoping there's an excuse
[00:47:41] I I'm genuinely hoping but you know, hey, what can I say?
[00:47:44] We have congress members that think that you know islands can that islands can flip over if you move equipment around
[00:47:50] so there's just
[00:47:51] You know, there's a lot of people out there that aren't that that it's I just don't know basic education alludes them
[00:47:57] but
[00:47:58] You know, I mean it was just we're in a weird place again where people don't know where their food comes from and I feel a sense of
[00:48:06] moral responsibility to sit here and be a
[00:48:09] You know one of those people that can act as a safeguard
[00:48:13] I think that's again, we all have to find a role in life, you know and find a way that we can contribute
[00:48:18] And i'm a capitalist and I think that you should contribute in a way that benefits yourself to your maximum of your own potential
[00:48:24] But at the same time we have a responsibility
[00:48:27] just as I felt a moral obligation to serve because I could and I I still feel the same way to
[00:48:34] Do everything I can to help people prepare because
[00:48:37] A lot of people don't have the means the ability the knowledge or even the fore knowledge of what events might lead to that
[00:48:44] That would allow them to prepare their families in the first place
[00:48:47] Yeah, beef is such a great thing too because it's one of those
[00:48:50] You know, you can get away with a lot of protein production in small places
[00:48:55] Cattle just ain't one of those things, you know, I know a lot of people man
[00:48:58] They do rabbits. They do goats. They do chickens. I do chickens in a in a suburb very small area
[00:49:06] And uh, you know, there's some things you can pull off as a prepper beef ain't one of them, you know in a small area
[00:49:11] But even and even if you don't where to spread it out and say I mean again
[00:49:15] You got to realize just what animal husbandry is and how many cows you have to have in order to be able to slaughter one
[00:49:20] Per year, you know and as you go through those numbers you start to think oh my goodness like we can't
[00:49:26] It requires a pretty large area requires
[00:49:30] Even and if you're doing grass fed and you're just you know
[00:49:33] Bartering with your neighbor again. Who has that kind of property in a suburban area or in an urban area?
[00:49:39] And they don't it's gonna it's man
[00:49:41] I am not looking forward to when the lights first out because it's gonna look like locusts coming across
[00:49:46] You know the planes at first
[00:49:49] No, for sure. Yeah, definitely
[00:49:51] If they make it that far if they make it that far it's like the walking dead
[00:49:55] I don't know. It's like it's a lot of ground to cover to get out of the city
[00:49:59] And traipse across the country with no water and no food
[00:50:03] I again, man. I have no concept of what people think that I you know
[00:50:08] Most people think they can walk 100 miles in the day. I was watching this play
[00:50:11] How far do you think you could walk in a day if you had to people like oh 100 miles?
[00:50:15] 100 miles
[00:50:17] 100 man, I sound pounding
[00:50:19] I've done back-to-back forced truck marchers, you know 20. What are you carrying nothing?
[00:50:23] You just did a pair of sneakers just running across America like or scum, you know
[00:50:27] Going to a cow
[00:50:29] I don't know people probably top out about five miles running and then the next day they can't move
[00:50:34] You know what I mean? Forget about the next day
[00:50:37] You think about how many times you got to stop we take so many things for granted just the idea of sanitation
[00:50:41] You know and again, so it's it's I mean there's we could go down this massive rabbit hole
[00:50:46] But that is the point like there is no stopping on the side of the road. There's nothing there
[00:50:50] Every time you stop you got to worry, you know, I mean so where are you migrating to anyway?
[00:50:54] And and there's just so many questions they have for people who have no plan, you know
[00:50:58] It's are you just hoping are you hoping that the government is the same government that you know
[00:51:05] Can't I can't do anything quite literally can't do anything and you think they're gonna they're gonna feed you that you're a priority
[00:51:11] proof, right
[00:51:14] I'm trying to be honest here
[00:51:15] Like do you really think like they do enough to pacify some urban areas to keep you know large
[00:51:21] Revolutions from taking place, but man. No, they're gonna go back to their bases and take care of what they need to
[00:51:26] They'll call it national defense. They'll call it whatever but
[00:51:29] And it starts to fall apart there you do you're not a priority. Oh, yeah, you're on your own, man
[00:51:34] We don't just say it to scare you and sell books
[00:51:38] No, but literally I just think that's what I think that's what people think
[00:51:41] Oh, he started a company because you could take you know, so you could take advantage of
[00:51:45] Of no, it's a quite like what really is that your thought process?
[00:51:48] Like is that how people do you realize what we had to do to start this company and how much work?
[00:51:52] No, we did it's a life mission because I really believe this is what's happening and
[00:51:57] You know, even if it we can extend it and do all the right things and keep this the utter calamity from happening
[00:52:03] We still need solutions for these big problems. You know, the free trade industry is growing say it's going to be at 40
[00:52:09] 44 billion dollars
[00:52:11] Coming up here in the next two years. It's it's just growing exponentially
[00:52:16] Insane and the reason why is because it's solution right fuel costs. You want to lower your carbon footprint?
[00:52:21] There you go. I take away 75 of the fuel cost
[00:52:25] Yeah, right. I mean that's huge just to get meat to real meat to people. I mean
[00:52:31] Yeah, we don't have a problem. We don't have a problem with killing off and I don't I would never
[00:52:35] Freeze dry a horse, but you know what? I mean we have wild areas out here where people could
[00:52:40] We got bison herds. I talked to bison ranchers if they could they could grow these herds massive
[00:52:45] We can you talk about solving some world food supply problems. Can you imagine?
[00:52:49] Now here's a question. I have two things real quick. The first one I got it is kind of funny
[00:52:54] Um, and the second one's very serious because I don't know
[00:52:57] Okay, first one you said utter calamity
[00:53:01] I do a lot of writing for living so sometimes word combinations
[00:53:05] Stake in my head
[00:53:06] I don't know if you want to coin that put that on the website
[00:53:09] But that same seems like it fits to me utter calamity
[00:53:13] I have so many puns beef puns. It's horrible. Oh, okay. I got you
[00:53:17] So here's the other question though, and this is a legitimate question
[00:53:20] I don't know how much research will cost to figure it out
[00:53:23] But you're talking about cutting the fuel cost of shipping beef 75 percent
[00:53:29] That is probably worth
[00:53:31] Taking up the flagpole and seeing what kind of carbon offset that really equals out to I mean can
[00:53:39] Have you figured out how to offset all these farts?
[00:53:42] I mean I say it I say it in jest, but I also say it in truth
[00:53:46] Like what would they be able to say if you said my product ships and and completely offsets the methane carbon
[00:53:52] Footprint because of the fact that the beef is freeze-dried
[00:53:55] You know cut yeah, you know so
[00:53:58] That there's the one that's very interesting because but you know that the only problem
[00:54:03] I have with that is giving them the validity of their argument that we have a methane problem
[00:54:07] But but overall yeah, you got to ask yourself and again my real answer is I don't think they want
[00:54:12] People to have access to it. They don't of course right right, so so what you do is you go around people
[00:54:18] And you know as we scale up and and eventually you reach a point where
[00:54:22] You can you get to control the marketplace whether than the other way around which means you you control
[00:54:27] You know your supply chain and you're able to lower costs even further and and develop a way to get it
[00:54:33] It's even more people which again as you know just
[00:54:36] Slowly slowly lowers all that and eventually it becomes the thing that people don't think of as being an alternative
[00:54:41] You know it used to be some things were preserved because they had to be right because we didn't have refrigeration or whatever
[00:54:47] A lot of things people just accept as normal now
[00:54:50] Um, it's the result of somebody saying hey was this this process is too expensive, but um if we make it normal enough
[00:54:58] Uh, it will be something like reconstituting. You know, I mean my gosh, uh milk and other things like that
[00:55:03] It's just hey, we can do this at a scale
[00:55:06] At which it isn't now the problem is you got
[00:55:08] The lack of quality product to start with in a lot of places, you know when they do free
[00:55:13] I don't know what this I guess that was a thought in my head was that
[00:55:17] Uh, you know, hey, it's I've only ever had
[00:55:21] Crap excuse my language, but crappy beef, you know, whenever it's been freeze dried before or whenever it's come from an
[00:55:27] MRE you got you gotta be starving to death to enjoy it, right?
[00:55:31] And I I guess I just never thought that it's supposed to taste good
[00:55:34] It's actually supposed to be a quality probably wouldn't till we started doing it ourselves that we we realized there's actually
[00:55:39] You know, there's a goal there to make it taste like a quality product. So now that I know that
[00:55:43] I just think why aren't we doing this with more stuff?
[00:55:46] You know, why can't why can't we help feed the world?
[00:55:49] But in a way that benefits everybody and and the resources are there. We're just not doing it
[00:55:54] I love it. I think the shipping idea behind it is tremendous
[00:55:58] You know, I mean that that is the way that everything that you we have
[00:56:02] Lowered cost and so many different industries is by focusing in on the shipping and if you can get a
[00:56:07] Get a you know, literally the highest quality beef to I mean, how many people have even ever eaten the highest quality beef
[00:56:15] It's not like it's a given
[00:56:16] Yeah, I mean prime cattle from texas in my opinion is about as great as the beef gets right and and so when you're
[00:56:24] Talking about, you know, it's great at cattle for that reason and it's and again
[00:56:28] We're talking about a single knock facility. So these are all hand slaughtered hand carved
[00:56:32] I don't think anybody I don't think anybody's ever died
[00:56:35] I don't I know no one does it
[00:56:37] But I think the idea of it just escapes people until you really kind of like break down the process and think about how you get
[00:56:43] Your beef right now. I mean, I know where most ground beef that's inside of a store comes from
[00:56:49] And I think if most people knew where their ground beef in a store comes from they would never get ground beef again
[00:56:55] I'm serious. I mean, I know what's in here and I know what people use
[00:56:59] You're a hundred percent right. I mean
[00:57:02] And the beef you're getting from a lot of these prep companies or or from, you know
[00:57:05] Places it's the stew meat the worst part of the cow. I don't stand. I don't think anybody ever thought like hey
[00:57:10] Let's freeze dry filet and tenderloin. You know what I mean? Let's freeze dry
[00:57:14] rib eye
[00:57:15] Let's let's get the tri tip and the sirloin and the pecania and the and the brisket and and make
[00:57:22] You know original steak and people like what you're freeze drying brisket. I'm like, no, it's just by man, of course
[00:57:27] What do you want to eat? I don't want to eat crap in the apocalypse
[00:57:31] You want to eat like shin shaved beef minced?
[00:57:34] If I take if I take my gun and rob somebody's house, they better have quality food there is all i'm saying
[00:57:42] Before I come in here. Do you guys got what's on the menu?
[00:57:47] Yeah
[00:57:47] Why did I cut why did I bother buying a gun if you guys weren't gonna have tenderloin darn it?
[00:57:52] No, I mean but you know
[00:57:54] Such a horrible thought again. I've never you know, Nate you're saying it
[00:57:57] It just puts that in a whole new perspective every single person
[00:57:59] I was at a gun show registering people to vote on saturday and I just thinking
[00:58:02] I never really thought about the idea that half the people here just thinking well
[00:58:06] All I got is me and trusty betsy here. We're good. Yeah, that's scary thought
[00:58:11] So where do we go again? Jason to get get our hands on some of that awesome beef? Oh go to
[00:58:16] at prepper beef calm so if we made it easy prepper beef calm and you can go over to the website we have
[00:58:23] There's great deals on there. I think there's a
[00:58:26] A coupon code on there now. I think it's on the website
[00:58:29] So I don't want to just say that but I that sounds horrible that I don't know that but they change it
[00:58:34] Ah, they can find it. Don't worry about it. Yeah, but it's yeah prepper beef comms where it's at
[00:58:38] And we're real real proud of it and if anybody's got they can follow along
[00:58:42] We don't send out spammy emails or anything like that, but
[00:58:45] We are adding new products like said bison is just coming out this month and
[00:58:50] And we like to take in recipes. We are trying to find a recipe winner right now to send out
[00:58:55] Everybody who gets our products will get that recipe
[00:58:58] So we do some fun stuff to try and incorporate the rest of the community, but
[00:59:03] We're proud of you know what we do but more importantly proud that we
[00:59:08] Prepping is no longer considered
[00:59:09] A dirty word anymore, you know, it's this is a thing where people now
[00:59:13] Understand us and we're proud to be able to be on the on the paradigm shift on that one, you know
[00:59:19] Hallelujah, man. I've been waiting for that for a long time
[00:59:22] For people to finally say, you know, this just makes sense. We should be doing it
[00:59:28] What do you mean? I should have food to eat tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, right exactly right this concept of
[00:59:34] Me not eating out at a restaurant every night of the week is foreign
[00:59:37] I thought
[00:59:38] I got this one. This real great somebody asked me on a on an interview they said
[00:59:44] So how much food should people have and I just like that what I said, how long do you want to live?
[00:59:50] Yeah, oh my god. That's so good. That should that should be a t-shirt. I might steal that
[00:59:57] How long do you want to live?
[00:59:59] How long do you want to live for? Geez, that seems like he just like that's dark. I said no, that's honesty
[01:00:04] No, it's a hundred percent honesty man. It's crazy people don't think that way
[01:00:09] Now you get a smart audience. I'm sure they're doing it, but they can't get themselves their prep and head pour and
[01:00:14] Oh, yeah, I'm just kidding. Man
[01:00:16] Our audience the only reason
[01:00:19] Prep is not just another four letter word

[01:00:25] Appreciate that streak. That's funny. That's a shirt too. But anyway, uh
[01:00:31] Yeah, yeah our audience is phenomenal. I mean our audience is I never even deserved to be a part of this group when I first started this and they were
[01:00:37] They
[01:00:39] Inveloped me lovingly in their arms and we're like, it's okay little failure. We'll get you into shape
[01:00:46] Well, I I gotta say I was
[01:00:49] I know they act like it was a short note. I wasn't that short of notice
[01:00:51] I was excited
[01:00:52] I'm excited to be on here and then when I told, you know, we just get to relax and talk about it
[01:00:56] I was like, oh finally I don't have to sit here and look all like a
[01:01:00] mannequin as I talk about, uh, you know the details of of of
[01:01:04] Freeze drying like this is is my these are my these are my people as well. And I get it
[01:01:09] Yeah, I mean at 99 of the audience
[01:01:13] Either has a freeze dryer or aspires to you know what I mean? That's that. Oh, yeah
[01:01:18] So yeah, you say freeze dried beef there. They know exactly what what it is and why they want it
[01:01:24] I mean, it's it's awesome. But uh, yeah, man, when you guys do the bison come back on let us know

[01:01:39] We had to buy buys and futures, but that train starts and we got to get the bison down here and slaughtered
[01:01:43] but yeah, it's uh
[01:01:45] I'm excited about that either way, but hey, you know, we can come back on anytime
