Visit us in the interactive chat room at prepper broadcasting dot com. Hello everyone out there on Internet radio Land, and welcome to Prepping Up with the Jones, where each week we tackle the toughest questions in the Prepper Arena. I'm your host, Dave Jones, the NBC guy that's nucular, biological, and chemical, and I want to be your personal weapon of mad instruction. I promise my listeners two things each week. First that they'll learn something new, and secondly, that they'll be entertained in the process. So here we go, we show number ten. How about that? I made it to ten shows. They didn't fire me, and I didn't die, So that's that's quite a milestone. Hey, I got up before we go into the news and everything, I gotta plug a couple shows here and so are you ready? In a world where only preppers survive, two men dare to do two shows together prep Their broadcasting network brings you Dane and Dave in Prepping Up with the Joneses at the Gun Metal Armory. That's right, Oh, hey you're on. Hey, dang, yeah here that was awesome, man, I love it. I love it. I got to smoke a pack of really get that deep voice, you know, for I bring up with the Joneses. Hey, So we'll talk about So it's a it's a two part show. It starts next Saturday with on my show, and then the second part will be Thursday night on your show, which is let's see I have it written down here at eight o'clock, No. Nine o'clock Eastern Standard Time Thursday night for broadcasting ETHER, and we're going to talk about all. Kinds of stuff. Uh, it's it's the main subject is movement to a supply location and then the movement back. All the things you can encounter, like booty traps. Dave, I think I think it's actually booby trap man, Dane. You trap what you want? Now, trap what I want? Okay, that's fair. Okay, Yeah, you gotta be you gotta be one guy or the other. Right, you gotta like One's not not that I'm against boobies. I like boobies, but you know, my mother they never weaned me, so I'm very attached to boobies. Okay, cool man. So we're gonna we're gonna do movement there and back. So it is one show is going to be the movement to the location. The other show will be the movement back from the location. Correct, Yes, okay. And that tells great with this show because this is going to be a show about the art of scavenging. And this actually came from a viewer or a listener. He sent me a really nice email. Kim is his name, and he told me about how he scavenges and practices this and I thought, wow, that would be a great show to do so, and then I'm gonna have Tim mcwelch on. If Now you guys probably already have some of Tim's books. Let me see if I can find him how to Survive Anything. He's a three time New York Times best selling author, and he writes for Outdoor Life, Off Grid magazine, a bunch of things, and he has lived the dream now for many years and that's what he's doing to pay the bills. So he has how to Survive Anything, Hunting Gathering Survival Manual, and then his latest book is how to Survive Off the Grid. And I think he has a Winter Survival Winter Survival book too. I think I have every book he has. They're they're really great reads. I'm going to have. And let's see, I have a person from Emergent Biosolution. They are the maker of r s d L Reactive Skin Decontamination Ocean. Okay, that's my sponsor, and they're going to be talking about how our scale came about and you know, the company and everything like that. And uh. Then on the third of. I'm having Danny Santorini on. He's the distributor or the sales manager for all of North America for that bio light stove. Have you ever seen this, Dan, it's this bio light stove. No, I don't believe I have seen the bio light stove or what's that all about? It's pretty cool. So you it runs on twigs and small pieces of wood, and there's a fan in there, and the fan turns to make your fire hotter. So it's like a rocket stove. But as the fan turns, it generates electricity. And and yeah, inside this stove is a battery pack, so you can recharge your phone store energy for later, you know, for like lighting or anything you want. Every time you set set down to cook a meal, you can put this thing on and it generates electricity. So wow, it's yes. And the way the company came up go ahead. Oh so I'm just gonna say it sounds like the guy's a genius. Wow, that's really smart. Yeah, the two guys invented this, and they sat down and they said, how can we bring make life better for like third world countries? Okay? And that was their objective And they didn't know how they were going to start, but they invented this stove. So not only that, a portion of your proceeds when you buy one of these stoves goes directly to that project. We're providing these stoves free of charge in all these third world countries. I mean, it's a really great story and I'll let him tell it. Wow. So that's pretty much the next three shows I'm in the head, are they? I'm trying. I'm trying New Year's resolution, get a little more organized, right, lose a little. Weight, get a little more organized. Sounds good to me. Well, Dave, I'm gonna get off here and let you do your show, and then I got to nineteen eleven. I gotta work on. So I'm gonna get off here and I will talk to you very soon, my friend. Yep, you'll be on next Saturday night and we'll start this thing off. You got it, man, have a great show. Thanks? All right? Let him in take care. Okay, that was pretty cool. Huh. So that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna do it like a tag team show. Yes, that's where you get on Prepper Broadcasting Network tag teams. We're gonna go back and forth and really go into detail about movement to your supply location and booty traps and all that. Let's see, I got some events coming up. I just got confirmed for the Prepper Con eighteenth and nineteenth of May in Salt Lake City and that's going to be a big, big show. RSDL well Emergent sprung for a sponsorship, so we're going to be in the main aisle, nice big booth, lots of artwork. So if you want to come see me in person. And May eighteenth and nineteenth, also in Gray's Lake, Illinois at the Chicago Fairgrounds March eighteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth. Okay, that's an ark show. These guys they do a lot of gun shows and they ventured out into prepper shows. So I'm going to be there. And I also got word this week. This has been a big Prepper week for me. I got word this week that I've been accepted to be a speaker because you got to apply for this one at Prepper Camp. Okay, So Prepper Camp is a three day long weekend in North Carolina. Let me see if I got the dates, the twenty eighth to the thirtieth of September, and I'll tell you what. If you want to immerse yourself in prepper stuff. That is the thing. We got preppers coming from all over the country coming to that, So that'll be pretty cool. Okay, let's see if we can get into the news here a little bit. How many people saw that on Drudge Hawaii sent out on the emergency notification that went out to cell phones and across TV screens and things like that about an incoming ICBM. That's troubling enough right there. But it took them thirty eight minutes to say it was a mistake. So I watched the interview. Yeah, big boo boo, you got that right, Zibeth. I watched the interview with the governor of Hawaii and he said they have new procedures in place whenever they do a shift change, they pulled this system up. Okay, now, I've actually done this in Pennsylvania emergency management, where we you know, in the wintertime when they close roads or there's power out or we used to do amber alerts too. So you'd send this thing out of every TV channel because we were hooked into all the television providers cable and all that, and back then it was we didn't I don't think we had cell phones back then. But I mean, we had cell phones, but we couldn't couldn't activate them like you can today, and you would put this. Thing, you know, babe, babe, babe, you know. The emergency alert notification thing. And boy, I'll tell you, if you got a mistake on that, it was bad news. I mean, your name was shit for a long time. So I imagine this guy here, whoever did that by accident. Now, the important thing to look at here was not the accident, how long it took him. They have a prescripted message all ready to go in that in that system, you know, and it was pulled up. I mean, why couldn't he accidentally have sent an amber alert or a hurricane right, or maybe a tsunami. He sent the the alert for an incoming ICBM. I think that was interesting. I try to keep my eye on the chat room here, danes on Ah, he's answering gun questions. Okay, good, let's see the other thing that was in the news that Well, you saw the flu. The flu is. The worst in thirteen years, and they're they're starting to identify it as H three N two or otherwise known as the AUSSI flu. So I guess we couldn't call the other one the Mexican flu. You know, H one N one wasn't politically correct, but they can call this the Aussie flu. Not many deaths with this though, but it's highly contagious, so start doing your prep for flu. Gosh, the deaths are actually down from where they were last year at this time for the flu, so that's a good thing. Okay, that's all I have for news. Let me see what's going on in the chat room. If you guys have any questions, please put them in the chat room because tonight tonight's show is about scavenging, okay, and I do not have all the answers. This is going to be more like a discussion than a lecture. I'm going to tell you what I would do and how I would do it, but I want input from you guys, and I'm going to try my hardest to read your comments in the chat room, So please anything you can add greatly appreciated. This scavenging. I'll give you the scenario before we go to commercial. The scenario is you've been in a grid down situation for months, Okay, I mean for months. It's everything that could happen has happened, and there is a house in your area that you know for a fact is a summer home from some first someone and it's it's only used a few times during the summer, which we have some of those up here on the mountain here, I know where they all are. So what would you look for in that house? And where would you look for it? I mean what is important after the grid goes down because there's not going to be a lot of manufacturing, not a lot of products being produced. I mean, it's all pretty much by hand from then on out. And where would you find it? So an empty house yours for the taking. I'm not telling people to go out and loot. Okay, this is not looting. This is using the things in emergency situation. Okay, so that's. What this is. Okay, we're going to go to a quick break and when we come back, we're going to talk about what would you look for and what would you find?

Make Medical Kids by doctor Bones the nurse Amy a part of your medical storage. You'll be glad you did. Okay, we're back. Dang, you guys are really jumping on this. Hey, I forgot to mention my good friend Alan Riggs is in the chat room and he's putting out a discount on his battery chargers. Remember we talked about this couple shows back. It runs off of salt water. Okay, so if you want a twenty percent discount on his products, let's see, get any of the triple power units for twenty percent off. You put Jones twenty in there, Jones twenty. Anyway. Uh, he's in the chat room. He'll be chatting with people. There were some questions about his product, and it's pretty dang fantastic. Where you can make you can recharge batteries and make electricity from salt water. Okay, so let's talk about this house. And you guys already started putting stuff in there. Yeah, check for medicines. I'm reading from the chat room now. Check for medicines in the kitchen, in the medicine cabinets. And this also goes hand in hand with checking for medicines. Does everybody have the Physician's desk reference in their prepper library. If you don't, you. Should because the Physician's Desk Reference is a big book, a big ass book. And. It has every pill. Mine's a few years old. I don't think it even has biagra in it, that's how old it is. But viagr was originally a heart medication, and when they went to trials, the gentlemen that were the drug was being tried on got unexplained erections. So they went they changed and they they changed their research from medication to that. Anyway, physicians desk Reference, you should have one of these so you can identify pills, because we all know some people put pills in unmarked bottles or different bottles and they know what they are, but no one else does. Yeah. Any kind of meds. Hey, where would you look for water in a house? At water tank exactly? How about the hot water. And the. On the back of toilets. That's clear water in there, and uh, you know, unless this vacation home has all that water drained out, which I doubt it's, it's in there. So if you're if you're traveling to this home and you need to get a little resupply of water, there's some water for you. And if they have a big water heater, that could be gallons of water, gallons of fresh water. And if you're in the bathroom here, here's what I'd recommend. At least two people go and you split up. Okay, so one person take the house and maybe one person take the shed or garage, and then and then swomp okay, because one person will see things a certain way. My wife and and I usually see things a different way. So whereas I'll be looking for something that's in port important to me, she might be looking for something that's important to her. So split up and then swap. You take the garage and her take the house. She recommended to me find the soap and shampoo and any kind of creams or sav ointment and that wasn't on my list to begin with. So there you go. That's an excellent example of you know, two mines are better than one. Food's good, but you got to make sure that you're getting canned food. Okay, well it came up in the chat room. Assume you have a big truck to haul it all. You can stage it and then come back for it. So once you find it, put it somewhere where you know where it is and you can come back for it. So the canned food, and you know how to check canned food, right, make sure it's not bubbled up. If the cans bulged, it's no good. Don't even try it. Guns, ammo, things like that. Now, where would you look for guns or ammo? Yep, preserve food. Look for a root seller. That's good idea. They may have a root seller, especially up here. You would want to look for guns. Maybe in the night stand. Of course, if the guy's got a gun safe, you know it's probably in the gun safe. But look for places where people would stash guns normally like a nightstand or you know, I'm telling you where all my guns are, right, maybe under the bed. Always look under the mattress for something Okay, how about any type of fuel, any type of fuel, but I mean that's stored up energy right there. Gas, even if it's bad gas you know, been around for a while. You can use it to start fires. Look behind pictures. Yeah, and clocks. Do you ever see those clocks with guns stashed in them? Propane pro paine tanks. Uh, you might overlook the pro paine tank that is actually in the grill. So you want to you want. To check out the grill, Check around the garage oil, even waste oil. Yeah, sheds cars, lawnmowers, yeah, any of that. I hope I'm getting the brain juice is fun for everybody, and I hope you're making your own list. Any type of cleaning supplies like clorox bleach. Remember I said bleach neutralizes nerve agent and it kills ebola. This stuff will be priceless when there's no more of it being made. Okay. Also, my wife came up with this one needles and thread. That would be a hard thing to make. His needles and thread. You know, any type of plastic jugs, plastic wraps, garbage bags, all of that becomes fantastically useful when the grid's down. I'm looking here, I'm looking pesticides and mouse traps. Sure where you guys, are really chlorine from a pool, absolutely powdered chlorine. If the person has a pool, he has lots of decontamination stuff. So how about any kind of first aid stuff. And of course you'd look for that in the bathroom areas, you know, cut scrapes, bandages, but you'd also look for it where you might not think, like the hall closet. Hey, yep, trucks, cars now, the trucks in the cars that trunks of cars, trunks, Yes, absolutely, think about the things that you would store in your trunk. The tire iron. And since we're talking about a tire iron, how about steel. Yes, if you have a water softener. Salt. I didn't get to that. I did not get to that. There's one thing that preppers seem to forget about more than any other thing, and that is salt. Think about it. You need, you absolutely need salt in your diet. And it's such a rare thing in nature. Okay, it's hard to find in nature. And if it's a grid down situation, those miners that mine salt will not be going down. That's six eight hundred feet mine and mining salt, there will be no more salt produced. There's ways you can get your own salt naturally, but it's difficult, and you it's the one thing that preppers forget about most. You need large quantities of salt going into a grid down situation. It's used for many, many things, preserving food, and it's you know, you could get sources of sugar, but there against sugar is really a necessity to the body. Salt is I mean it attracts wild animals. They will smell it, come and get it and come back, keep coming back. So if you want to be able to harvest deep, that's what you need. Yep. Any kind of camping gear. That's the person that's out there in the garage or up in the attic if the place has an attic, check up in the attic, because it's usually things that people put up in the attic that they think they might need someday but really really don't want to get rid of. And it could be those hand tools. Hand tools. You know how many people have seen that hand drill. I have a few of them. I get them at the estate sales and yard sales and flea markets. I mean hand tools are cheap. People do not want to do that kind of labor anymore, and it might be the only way you could cut a tree down with one of them big saws, or. You know, drill a hole. The bits the bits are you know, you can use regular drill bits in that hand drill. So there's another thing. If you're out in the garage, get all the hand tools, screwdrivers, wrenches, bits. You can't use them, you may be able to trade them for something you do need. Okay, yep, a buck saw, that's what I was talking about. Thanks Alan. Let's see toilet paper, oh yeah, fishing ear, you bet. And someone here has mentioned that they have salt. They have forty pounds of salt. It's cheap insurance, that is true. I have several bags of salt. I have all different kinds of salt, so I have like Himalayan salt I have. You know, my wife is doing that, so she got us on there. Check the crawl spaces, you bet. There's all kinds of stuff in people's crawl spaces, things that you could really really use. Let's see. I got to go back up here. Yeah, chemicals, pesticides, yeah, propane, let's see I'm sorry, I'm reading the chat room for everybody that's listening. After the fact that you look in the man cave. Yes, if the person has a man cave, that's where you're going to find some very unique stuff. Knives, cooking, utensils, all of this, anything that becomes valuable after the grid goes down. And think about it. If nothing else is going to be manufactured for a long, long time. This this is the things that you'd need. Okay, Oh the little the little charger on the Yeah, the thing that makes a spark on your electric grill. You know, that little thing. It makes a spark, and that would be a great thing to have if you wanted to start something. You know, first spark and that most likely will survive an EMP. Keep going, you guys. Are doing great, man, I got quite an audience tonight. The chat room is still enough glasses, sunglasses, boots. Yeah. When I said hall closet, I forgot to mention. You know a lot of people have cotton sheets, flannel sheets. They make great bandages. Okay, not to mention you know, if there's not going to be a lot of material being produced, you can make things out of sheets. I mean useful useful things, blankets, any kind of cold weather gear, I mean, if you're in a cold climate. Yeah. Goodwill was also a good place to get a lot of stuff cheap, you bet, glasses, sunglasses already said that. Let's see. Yeah, someone was saying, get all the magazines because they make good toilet paper. Yeah, if they have a pile of magazines, any kind of paper. I mean, think about the process of making paper. It's it's tough. I mean paper. What are you going to be writing on? Yeah, remember I said you got to you gotta have something to write on when you're doing a recon or passing instructions along. Any kind of paper, yep, sunblock, mosquito repellent, you bet. It seems to be that the the things that we take for granted and are in abundance and is really really cheap, will be the things that will be in short supply, like paper, paper is cheap, salt salt is cheap. You know things that are really really cheap. Plastic wrap. You know, if they have plastic wrap that there's just so many things. You can use. Plastic wrap for a sunken chest wound, right, for a wound in your chest. Wrap That guy or. You know, God forbid, but it seals things. Yeah, see him going back to the chat room. Tinfoil. Absolutely, you guys are doing great. Ballots. Yeah, some people have palettes out in their garage. Soap, toothpaste. Man, we're picking this house clean nails, screwdrivers, screws.

You kept putting stuff in there. In the chat room. So let's see if I can get to all of it. A wood stove or any kind of outdoor burner. Yeah, we talked about energy, gasoline, the propane, but we didn't talk about batteries. If the guy has a car, there's a battery in that car and there's energy in it, so you definitely want to get that and any batteries that would be around the house. You know, if you have the simplest solar or wind setup, you can charge those batteries. Gasifier.

You're going to be You're gonna. Have to be able to produce bullets, and you can melt that lead down. Pet food if if your survival, if you have you know. We pets. I don't know anybody that can store enough pet food. So uh. One of the guys in our group has two German shepherds, one of them is a retired police dog, and they pets are invaluable. You could do a whole show on pets in a in a survival situation, down windows screens, yep, to be able to put your food on it in air dry it. Windows screens can also filter. I mean they can do a lot of things. So windows screens, the aluminum ones are great. You know, the plastic ones they don't hold up as well. But yeah, chimney cleaning tools. If the guy has a fireplace, chances already has chimney cleaning tools. And that's going to be something that you might not necessarily have. Or if you're going to produce your chimney afterwards, you need a way to clean it. And I have got some great listeners. You guys are saving me here because my list was not that long. Tire chains, Yeah, and how about chains for a chainsaw, any kind of chain actually, because how would you make a chain? Hoses? And does the house have copper piping? Check out the infrastructure of the house itself if it has copper piping. Okay, plumbing, man, you can do so much with copper. Not to mention you know the obvious. It's a value. You can do stuff with PCV pipe two. Don't get me wrong, but copper is far more versatile and far more valuable, and it may be something that you just note for later and come back and get a piece or for you at a time. Yelp copper wiring. A lot of houses today they have high amounts of aluminum wiring, but houses that were built, you know, just twenty years ago, all copper wire. And you just rip that out, ball it up, put it on fire, burns the insulation off, and you have a pile of copper right there. Ceiling fans for a windmill, absolutely, and that's coming from Allen. You know, he's the guy with the power on his mind. You know that ceiling fan, if you turn it, it will actually produce electricity. So you get a. Nice ceiling fan, you hang it up where the wind is blowing and you can produce electricity from it. And that's also for alternators from a car. Yep, he just put that in their alternators from a car. Charge your batteries. The air filters, air filters. Some people have air purification filters in their house, and air filters are your car. And take the spark plugs from the car too. You know, the threads on a spark plub will fit anything. So even though it's not the right plug, it may be the plug that you can get running. Well. You guys are great. This is fantastic. Okay. Porcelain on a spark YEP breaks glass. Oh I did not know that. Okay. I think the chat. Room is dying down, so let me let me just go over my funny story. You guys keep putting stuff in there, steel wool, you bat man. I got so much stuff under my kitchen sink. Razors, razor blades, YEP, fire starters, YEP, nine volt battery, steel will startifire. Yes, you guys are great. Listen, just keep putting them in the chat room. I'll read them off for our listeners. I want to tell you about my funny story. So you remember a few. Weeks back I told you about a guy that fell off the bridge and basic training and went in the water with his M sixteen and the drill Sarten came running over and he said, you better not come up with that M sixteen without that M sixteen. He was more worried about that than he was the guy getting hurt. Well, I couldn't remember the guy's name that fell off the bridge, but it was Cobb. His last name was Cob, and in the army that's what you go by. Jones Jonesy Cobb. Well, Cobb. Back then, we didn't have a lot of automatic you know, targets, so basic training. You go qualify with the M sixteen. You shoot the M sixteen a lot, and it was it was one of the qualification rounds and Cob was my partner, so you would you would mark down the hits for for your partner and then he would mark your hits down like that and basically the targets would just pop up and pop down, so you kept tracking the ones you hit the ones you missed. So, uh, it was raining its butt off. And in the Army, if it's not raining, it's not training. So you don't stop, okay, because it never rains in the Army. It only rains on the Army.
