RambleCast: Evac, EMP, Prepping the Public

[00:00:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Hello, welcome to the podcast. Present your vaccine passport. Enter your social credit score and be sure you have enough remaining carbon credits to enjoy today's show.

[00:00:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Family, your garden is the resistance.

[00:00:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Good day folks. Travelish cast today. We're on Ramble.

[00:00:35] [SPEAKER_00]: This is the Intrepid Commander and I'm holding the Prepper's Medical Handbook. The Prepper's Guide to Pandemics, Bioterrorism and Infectious Disease. Two amazing books by Doc Forgey.

[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_00]: What is up guys? It's been a...

[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_00]: My life is a confluence at the moment, folks. What you're getting from me right now is me walking around. Not behind the mic, just walking around with the phone.

[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm basically afloat from one lily pad to the next right now. Moving from one lily pad to the next. I'm not live.

[00:01:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Nose is running because my breakfast was a little spicy. I took some scrambled eggs. Very quick, very simple. Everything is time crunch today.

[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Scrambled eggs, Sriracha, warm tortilla. Wrap it up, choke it down. A little milk, a little macadamia. No, a little Brazil nuts. And that's it. On to the phone with you.

[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Now, uh... I don't know. That's the deal. We've got another super hot one on the deck today. I hope to get out and do some fitness.

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I hope to get out and nurture my Prepper fit and health. Members, have you been nurturing your Prepper fit and health?

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_00]: September, we'll bring back our fitness routines. I know it kind of fell off in the summer. It was what it was.

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I was having trouble meeting my own routines over the summer. You know, just busy. But we'll get back to it.

[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Preparedness month is here. I don't know what we're going to do for Preparedness Month that's special, to be honest. Well, I do know one thing.

[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I do know one thing for sure. Right now we're doing a three day lead up membership discount to National Preparedness Month.

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_00]: If you're not a member, it's kind of my way to rile you up and get you running or at least jogging so that you can hit National Preparedness Month hard.

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean? The whole month is devoted to it. The grand finale of National Preparedness Month is the Prepper Camp.

[00:03:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And you can do some damage if you really lock in. You know what I mean?

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm listening to the next generation in the background. It's so nice to hear the Buford's at it.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Sorry about the sniffles. It's not allergies. The sniffles are what happens when you eat.

[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_00]: You eat scrambled egg burrito covered in Sriracha hot sauce and try to cool your mouth down with black coffee.

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Hot black coffee. And your body's like, yo dude, painful.

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_00]: So you know what? We might as well begin evacuation.

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_00]: We might as well begin the evacuation proceeds.

[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_00]: How about you guys? You guys got an evacuation process?

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_00]: One of the things I talk about a lot and it just doesn't get the kind of love that it deserves.

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Because of the bug out in the prepping world is the legitimate evacuation.

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_00]: What are your evacuation procedures? Do you have an evacuation process? Where are you going?

[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_00]: You got to evacuate. Like phone call right now.

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_00]: The nuclear power plant down the road, the chemical plant that you didn't even know existed, the whatever has exploded.

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Gas leak. Pipe exploded. Natural gas leaking out into the air. Hazardous close to your home.

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Fire hazard, so on and so forth. Whatever the situation is. All this is going down.

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_00]: What are you doing right now if you get word that you have to evacuate?

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Tactical nuclear weapon. Dirty bomb. Whatever. You got to go and you got to go right now.

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's not the type of got to go that means you got to go to your bug out location.

[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_00]: But it means that you got to go.

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_00]: You've got, and chances are this time of day, you've got people to scoop up.

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_00]: You've got a, probably a spouse you got to link up with. Right?

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_00]: There's other pieces to the puzzle.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_00]: That then just hop in a car and you're driving away from the threat.

[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_00]: So, while it's really cool, I'm hopping in the truck right now so you might hear things that you're not used to hearing.

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_00]: While it's cool to have a bug out bag and a bug out truck and a bug out bike and a bug out hat and a bug out underwear.

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_00]: More likely than not, based on what I've watched happen in America over the years, you're not going to necessarily bug out.

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_00]: You're probably going to be hit with a short term evacuation situation more likely.

[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you have a plan for that?

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you have documentation, cash, a fireproof bag with a variety of important items and documents and identification and insurance documents and deeds and so on in one place ready to grab and go?

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_00]: It's the final piece of my base level preparedness.

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_00]: It's number six of my six items of base level preparedness is evacuation.

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Once you hammer it down, it gives you a level of confidence that is essential.

[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's all we suffer from in America anymore.

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_00]: That's all we suffer from in the world largely is this.

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_00]: It's just this idea that, you know, we're not what we used to be, folks.

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_00]: We are not what we used to be.

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's a problem. Everyone needs to wrap their head around that, you know?

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Like the reason we're so stressed, the reason we're so worried about things is because how did I make this much of a mess?

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I've got sriracha all over my shorts.

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, we're not what we used to be.

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Case in point, sriracha all over the shorts.

[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_00]: No, we're not what we used to be in terms of we can't handle stuff anymore.

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's not like, oh, we're not mentally fit to handle stuff anymore.

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_00]: No, it's like we can't handle stuff anymore.

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_00]: And the reason we can't handle stuff is because we've given up all our handle stuff skills.

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_00]: We've given them away.

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_00]: We've given our resources, our tools, our skills away to other companies and other people and so on and so forth.

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Services, businesses, whatever.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_00]: We've given all that up.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And now we're just like I'm just an accountant.

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what I do. That's my major skill set, you know?

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_00]: The world has carried on the way that the world carries on.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_00]: And we're like, well, you know, an accountant is good for putting money in bank accounts so that you can shop and, you know, shop till you drop.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_00]: That's capitalism.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_00]: But it doesn't really help you much when other things come.

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Where it really doesn't help because think about it of all the threats and all the things that we've talked about.

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_00]: It's not like everybody gets hit with everything.

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's not like something comes across the deck and you wind up getting hit just like everybody else.

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Most of the time we miss stuff, right?

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Stuff, we get lucky.

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Stuff misses us.

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Where the real problem exists today though is the fact that we can't handle it.

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_00]: And we can't handle it because we don't have the skills to handle it.

[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_00]: So the only thing we can do is worry about it, right?

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like a compounding interest sort of situation.

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Where all we can do is worry about, well what if the elections in America really are corrupt?

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Well what if Russia does use nuclear weapons and all that kind of stuff, you know?

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_00]: And it creates an environment where all you can do is worry.

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is a big problem.

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a very big problem back in the truck.

[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_00]: So what preppers do, you know, what do preppers really do?

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I've been asking myself a lot of these questions because I have a talk to do by the end of the month in front of an audience.

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_00]: What do preppers do?

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_00]: What do they do?

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_00]: They look at the threats.

[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_00]: They're honest with themselves about the threats.

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_00]: And then they try to gain the skills and the resources necessary to deal with those threats.

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Fundamentally, we're just trying to take back what we lost at the end of the day.

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Now we can do an even better job.

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what's often lost in sort of the off-grid, neo-pioneering, homesteading communities.

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_00]: In the sort of back to nothing community, right?

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I like it. I like the self-reliance. I like all that.

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_00]: But it's important that as we learn those skills and do those things, that we remember like we can do better than that.

[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Great to be as self-sufficient as a pioneer, as an American pioneer.

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_00]: But don't stop there. We don't have to have zero electricity.

[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_00]: We don't have to have candlelight exclusively, right?

[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_00]: So, preppers just look at the reality of life.

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_00]: And take action.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_00]: And what the public is doing right now, which makes me the most sad and really makes my heart kind of swell,

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_00]: is the public is being subject to the newsfeed of a prepper without the action.

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what is diabolical about the media figuring out, oh we can get a lot of clicks if we put doomsday up on all the news outlets, right?

[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_00]: If we put doomsday up on all the news outlets, we can make money.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_00]: And God, we need to make some money because nobody trusts us anymore.

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is kind of funny when you think about it.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like the most untrustworthy organizations in the world are putting up tons of information about how you should survive the apocalypse that's coming.

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_00]: But what's really diabolical about watching the whole thing from my standpoint as a prepper is you're watching people subject to this crushing anxiety.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_00]: It is not easy to digest all the threats, potential threats of nature, of the galaxy, of the shifting magnetic poles, of the sun,

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_00]: of the people's republic of China, you know what I mean?

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_00]: There are a tri- the gangs here in the United States.

[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I watched a Venezuelan gang roll up on an apartment in Colorado Springs, and no, Aurora, the Aurora apartment building.

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it was in Colorado Springs.

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_00]: And one guy had a freaking carbine, a couple guys were smoking cigarettes, walking up with handguns.

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_00]: All I could think in my head was, hey honey, did you meet the new neighbors?

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I was going to put that in the element chat this morning but I ran out of time.

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_00]: All these threats, you know, when you're a prepper you seek this stuff out a lot of times.

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_00]: You get a little addicted to it, you seek it out because it helps you.

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_00]: You watch something like that and you say, okay what is my plan to deal with a multi-man threat to my home, right?

[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_00]: And then you act on it.

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And then you say I need X, Y, and Z or we need a- whatever.

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to go into that right now.

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_00]: When you're just the average Joe who hasn't broken the seal yet, hasn't started prepping,

[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_00]: you're just- you're just sucking down anxiety.

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_00]: You're sucking down problems.

[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Like you already got a life's worth of problems.

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Now you're just sucking down the- magnetic poles are gonna shift and the world's gonna slosh over my whole family and everything I've built and I have nothing.

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know how to prepare for it.

[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where to go.

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what to buy.

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_00]: My patriot supply, just send me everything you have, right?

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Climate change, the whole world's gonna catch fire and we're gonna have to go underground to live and you know so on and so forth.

[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Until you're absolutely just out of your mind.

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, you're completely and totally out of your mind.

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's the situation, you know, it's rough.

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_00]: So, like I've always said and that's how I'll end this sort of Ramblecast today.

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone needs to be a prepper.

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know that everyone needs to be a prepper forever.

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm damn sure that right now everyone needs to be a prepper.

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, you- by sharing the prepper broadcasting network with people, you are doing them such a service man.

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean think about the things that we just talked about on this Ramble here, you know what I mean?

[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_00]: You're doing such a service to people.

[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_00]: And I am but one man of 14 other men and women on this network.

[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_00]: But you're really helping people out.

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_00]: They don't know where to go, they don't know where to turn.

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And if somebody they know says, hey listen to all these different people talk about how they prepare.

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_00]: It just makes sense.

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And they're much more open to receiving that kind of input now than they ever were.

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Now's the time.

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Now you may have to give them a caveat.

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_00]: You may have to say, look here's a podcast, okay?

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_00]: There's 15 different hosts on the network.

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Chances are they're going to say some things that you might not agree with.

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_00]: But you can pull your big boy pants up and listen to a few things that you don't agree with.

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_00]: And then take from that podcast, those collections of podcasts, the information that will make you much stronger.

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_00]: And give you the ability to live this day and age, live life in this day and age.

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Without, you know, daily prescriptions of anti-anxiety and anti-depressants to deal with the onslaught of threats and news and all of the above.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Alright folks, hey look, for those of you who are seasoned preppers, I want you to check out FaradayContainers.com.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_00]: They are our newest sponsor.

[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_00]: They create pretty much the biggest and the baddest EMP protection on the planet.

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_00]: This is not SLNT EMP protection.

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_00]: This is not Faraday phone cases, okay?

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_00]: This is the real deal.

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_00]: This is do you want to park your car in a Faraday protected garage?

[00:16:39] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, this is do you have dirt bikes and four-wheelers and tractors for managing land and ride on mowers that you want locked away behind military grade copper beryllium gaskets, right?

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Or do you have a comms or a solar generator set up that you want to have, you know, locked away behind a five-foot work box?

[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_00]: They do 20-foot shipping containers all EMP proof.

[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_00]: 40-foot shipping containers EMP proof and five-foot work boxes completely EMP proof.

[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Beautiful stuff.

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, the work box itself is basically, you know, an EMP survival cache.

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_00]: If you can think of it that way.

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly what I plan on doing with mine is burying an EMP proof electronic survival cache that doesn't take up space in my house.

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_00]: FaradayContainers.com.

[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_00]: This, again, father-son operation out of Wisconsin.

[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_00]: They know their stuff in terms of EMP and they're looking to create real solutions for products.

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_00]: For EMP proofing at a grand scale.

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Check them out.

[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll talk to you guys later.

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, it's Thursday.

[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_00]: You're likely to get a taste of the herbal prepper.

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Is that right?

[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Nope. Totally wrong.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Herbal medicine for preppers.

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, it's going to be sweet.

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a great day and the tool man will be on later tonight.

[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_00]: So glad to be with you folks.

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Support our great sponsors.

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk soon.
