Your Path Back to Stability

[00:00:03] You're listening to PBM, Your Path Back to Stability.

[00:00:57] It's called OBS Bot, and it can do a lot of cool things, man. It can definitely do a lot of cool things. But you got to get used to it. You know what I mean? You got to get used to it. It reminds me like those COVID videos of guys getting caught, remember? You put your hand up like this and it kind of recognizes you, and then it'll kind of stick with you if you move. I don't know. It's fun, man. It's cool stuff.

[00:01:27] I didn't know how to get this box out of here. There's a box up here, The Path Back to Stability. It's the show image for the day. The Patriot Power Hour guys had it up yesterday, and I didn't know how to get it off. No clue. I couldn't get it off before the show, so I just threw today's thumbnail image in there. Hey, congrats. Five years of the Patriot Power Hour here on the Prepper Broadcasting Network.

[00:01:53] One of the things I'm really bad at, man, really bad, is milestones. I need a milestone person. I really do. We could do this thing, this PBN thing for decades. I don't know. I'm built for consistency, so I don't get wrapped up in like, oh my God. I don't even know how long. I guess I bought it in 2018, right? So we could go with that.

[00:02:22] We got a 10-year coming up in three years, something like that. But whatever. Congratulations to the Patriot Power Hour boys. They've been doing it. I mean, they've been doing it. You know, all this time, all these years, really the sort of anchored news show for the Prepper Broadcasting Network for a long time. Like, they are fundamentally, you could show up there, you can get news, you can get takes that are informed.

[00:02:51] You know, and I would say from a, hmm, what's the word? There is an American slant. Let's go with that. Can we call it that? Can we call it an American slant? Can we get back to like, rather than things being conservative or liberal, understanding that there are American values and people have an American slant. The majority in America have an American slant. It's not a center right. It's not a center left.

[00:03:21] It's not a moderate. It's an American slant. And that's what you get from the Patriot Power Hour, fundamentally. There's a lot of joy in the world. There's a lot of joy in the voices of Cheers, PBN family. Disaster coffee mug. You want one? Go to disastercoffee.com. Get yourself the best coffee on earth. It is really, truly.

[00:03:46] But I'm actually not even drinking disaster coffee out of my disaster coffee mug because I, what I've learned in a lot of aspects in life, it's good advice. I learned it from Thomas Keller. I can't show you the big giant book right now. One of the best chefs in history. But he, uh, he focused all his sort of meals on the law of diminishing returns. You know what the law of diminishing returns is?

[00:04:16] Oh man, we're going to have one of these shows today. I can see it already. The law of diminishing returns is just that in terms of food, but you can apply it to everything in life. The law of diminishing returns is that, you know, you're the first experience is the best experience. And if you consistently have the same experience over and over again, then it, you know, kind of loses its, loses its muster. Good morning in chat. What is up? Girl Scout cookies shipped today.

[00:04:46] I saw it. You want to talk about the law of diminishing returns. It doesn't apply to Girl Scout cookies, by the way. You can eat a whole box in a sitting. If the coffee is good and like it's a movie or something like that, or maybe, maybe the new Terminator series on Netflix. I haven't been able to get through the first episode, so I don't know how good it is, but I've fallen asleep on it twice. Anyhow, the law of diminishing returns applies to everything.

[00:05:16] It really does. And like I said, I got it from him, but I apply it to a bunch of stuff and coffee is one of the things I apply it to. So I went on a tear, disaster coffee tear, the Christmas blend, the Christmas hook, Christmas blend. I've been drinking the Gray Man Earl Grey tea. I've been drinking Tsunami, which is my favorite. Good morning, Jay Ferg. Jay Ferg's got her collection of disaster teas now.

[00:05:45] But I've been drinking disaster coffee for a while. And then what I like to do is I like to buy a can of supermarket coffee and drink it. And then I'll go back to disaster coffee after that. And it's just that's how you enjoy it. I mean, that really is how you enjoy it, because it's your daily thing. You know, you can't wake up every day and be like, wow, disaster coffee again. It starts to wane.

[00:06:14] I mean, the exceptional taste starts to wane, I think. It's like that with everything. Right. All right. So today's show, Your Path Back to Stability, we're going to touch on a number of things. First, the tragedy at the Reagan. The Black Hawk flying into the American Airlines flight. 64 people on the flight, three soldiers on the Black Hawk.

[00:06:39] Look, I'm not in a position to tell you what happened or how it happened or that kind of thing. But when I see a story like that, what does come to mind and what I do want you to think about is when a headline hits, it's a competing narrative. It's the narrative Olympics takes place in alternative media and social media and mainstream media. Right. So there's a world of competing narratives that starts to happen.

[00:07:08] What happened with the Black Hawk? What happened with the American? Who was at fault? Is it Donald Trump's fault? Is it Joe Biden's fault? Right. Well, all the way up and down is the military lost. Is the right. All this kind of all these competing narratives start to take place. And it reminds me of like, I don't know, like like a spider web of narratives. You got to remember, like you got to remember. This is all new.

[00:07:38] There was a time probably when the government would get on the phone or the like the FAA or something like that. And this is what we're going to tell the people. OK, put it on the nightly news and that's the narrative. And that would be it. And people had no other option. They turn the TV on. They'd watch the news and go, oh, honey, you wouldn't believe it. This is what happened. And that was news. That was news. You had you could listen to the radio, maybe a little read it in a newspaper.

[00:08:06] But fundamentally, the narrative was decided. It was spat out by the mainstream media. And you had like, you know, 25 channels or whatever. And that was what you had. I'm talking like more 80s, 90s. Garden Girl in chat says the hubby said U.S. figure skating team members were on the plane and some coaches and family. It's a tragedy. I mean, it's just a tragedy is what it is. And I don't know what the story is. I don't know how it happened.

[00:08:34] I don't you know, it's not just is what it is. What I want you to take away from a story like this is. In the world of competing narratives, which is what we live in now, we were many of us were born in a world where the narrative was established. Me personally, the narrative was established. If you listen to like a Rush Limbaugh or something like that, then you might get a competing narrative. Right.

[00:09:03] That was my dad all the time. Nowadays, it's just it's the Olympics of narratives. It's it's a competing narrative landscape. And you have to. Hone in on the truth. That's it. You know what I mean? What happened?

[00:09:20] And who's going to tell me what happened and who's going to tell me the real deal, whether it's whether it's pro Trump, whether it's anti this, anti that, whatever it is, whether it looks like a total failure and an embarrassment. None of that matters. You know what I mean? Jay Firk says has been 27 percent recovered. So, like I said, details will come out. They will come out in fits and spurts.

[00:09:52] If you want to play the competing narrative game, you can. But I'll tell you, it's costly. It'll cost you time. Right. Time that you could spend doing things you actually want to do rather than researching and figuring out and eating on the scraps that are given to you by people who are probably not even there. Right. That's the crazy thing, too.

[00:10:13] We've got a bunch of people, myself included, who talk about news a lot and we do it from the comfort of our life, maybe the comfort of our home. Right. And we just take, you know, sure. I hope I hope that's true. So I have to see. My my warning to you, first of all, it's a tragedy, of course. But my warning to you is don't get caught in the web of narratives.

[00:10:44] Find out. Find out the truth. Sometimes you got to wait for the truth. You know, it's the other thing is don't get so excited about finding out all the answers this morning. Right. Right. The fact that this happened is a tragedy, but it's not you personally don't need to know everything about the story before noon. You know what I mean? It's not going to affect your life. One iota. In most cases, it'd be better to pray and move on.

[00:11:14] Pray for the dead and their families. So the title of today's show is your path back to stability. It's not even a really a PBN news. It's just and it's because of all of this. You know what? What's happening right now, I think, is in the country. I mean, I hear all kinds of like joy in people's voices. I've never heard before. Really stand out one. One of the most stand out ones is future Dan.

[00:11:44] Last night on the Patriot Power Hour, future Dan had a smile. I could see I know his face and I know his face when he smiles in the sound and I could hear the smile. And that's very rare on future danger. And kind of rare out of Dan, to be honest, from what I've the time that I've spent with not that he's like miserable or anything. He's just kind of even keel. He's not the type of guy that's like, you know, super joyous all the time. And I just feel it. I hear it in people all the time.

[00:12:13] Since Trump's been elected. And it's a good thing. It's a good thing. You know what I mean? But it's the. There's all this stuff. There's all this stuff, good and bad, that is happening right now. And repercussions, good and bad, are going to ensue. Right. What what I'm trying. Well, what's the better? What's the better kind of it's like a fog or something. It's like a confetti cloud.

[00:12:43] You know what I mean? And it's like real easy to get lost in. It's like a haze. It's good and bad. But it's really easy to get lost in it. And the good will come and the bad will come. And that's life. You know what I mean? I do think that. We've established the North Star in the prepping in the homesteading community. You know, the anchor point. The thing that you can always return to.

[00:13:13] No matter what's going on. The thing that you could invest in. You can always return to. And it's it's always there waiting for you. And it's this is what the best way I can describe it is your path back to stability. Right. We were coming out of a. And we probably still are going to be in serious instability. You know, I for all that's good that's happening. There's a lot moving under the surface.

[00:13:43] There's a lot of enemies of the state within. You know what I mean? There are a lot of enemies within. And we're going to hear from them. There's no denying it. I don't think we're going to go without hearing from. I'll read to you from the Gray Man briefings. Do we have a one threat, one solution still? I haven't done it in so long. It was so bad leading up to the election that. I was just like, I can't even fathom it right now. Like, I can't even fathom.

[00:14:13] I don't think we have it. What did I used to do for one threat, one solution? Just the noise. Oh, we may have to upgrade that as well. This video stuff is fun, man. This is cool stuff. Oh, if you're still listening, Jay Ferg, I have a. I have a rough draft video intro for. Phoenix survival. It's all built around fire. You know what I mean? It's pretty cool. I'll have to send it to you.

[00:14:45] So, you know. I don't want to create this air of. I don't want to create this air of like. Concern for no reason. Like I said, I think when I look at my own situation, my own family and really plan out the future. Like really. Microphone off. Lights off. You know, nobody's watching. Nobody's listening. I'm sitting here in the quiet thinking about my kids and my wife and our future.

[00:15:15] It's undeniable that we're in a better situation. Can we sustain it? I don't know. Will the pendulum swing back in another four years so hard you can't even believe it? Where we're flying 15 flags at the embassies instead of just one. Right? Because people are crazy, man. They're absolute lunatics out there. I was listening to the new press secretary's first at bat, which was really well done.

[00:15:43] And a black woman raised her hand and asked if we were going to celebrate Black History Month anymore. You know? Like there's a disconnect with what's happening in the country. Steps being taken to protect Americans at large. Right? From people who are in the country illegally who are killing people. And it's being taken out of context and being moved into this world of like. You just weird like that.

[00:16:13] Like weird things. Like Donald Trump's going to show up at everyone's household and school and tell them there's no more Black History Month. I don't know. So they're out there. You know what I mean? They're still out. They're still lost. They're out there in the warp. They're trying to figure out like which way to turn. And you know what? They don't have a North Star. You know what I mean? But they don't have God first and foremost. Most of them. And then, you know, they don't have the North Star of self-reliance and independence.

[00:16:42] So for those of you in video, what you're seeing is PBNFamily.com. This is what we've kind of built for the North Star of finding your way onto the path back to stability. This is our membership website. It's packed with all kinds of stuff. That little red Target logo right there, the bullseye, is Nuclear War Prepared, Not Scared. 100% free.

[00:17:10] If you're watching, go to PBNFamily.com right now and download that book. It's Nuclear War Prepared. It's a book written by a nuclear war expert, Dave Jones, the NBC guy. Okay? Everybody should have it. Everybody in chat has it, and it's printed. So go with that. Go with that. It's a good—it's just—it's free. It's great. We wrote it three years ago now, I think, just sheerly because we knew no one was going to tell you what to do.

[00:17:41] And that's why we gave it away free. It's not a newsletter grabber. It's not an email grabber. It's not a, you know, a lead magnet. It's literally there because Dave Jones and I had a long conversation about nuclear preparedness in America and how woefully the U.S. government and, you know, Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, how terrible a job they've done.

[00:18:08] You know, we're in a proxy war with the most powerful nuclear force in the world. That's Russia. And you don't know what to do. What are you going to do? What are you going to do? You wake up—what are you going to do? I finish the show, and you get a buzz alert on your phone that says, you know, the nearest city to you has been new. And there could be more to come. Where do you go? What do you do? What do you have to—what are you worried about? What could happen? You know what I mean?

[00:18:39] They've told you nothing. They've told you go inside, turn on the radio. That's what they told the people in New York, remember? Go inside, stay inside, turn on the radio. So that was our contribution, one of our many contributions. But there's a ton of stuff over here, and this is kind of the path we've dug out. We've got the shows. We do incredible shows, 100% free all the time, every week.

[00:19:07] Shows on topics like these, information. Why it's so important to me to discuss the path back to stability is because it gives you a way to get above everything. So you can rise above that cloud, rise above all the news, everything that's happening, good or bad, hysteria, the whole nine yards. You rise above it, and this is where you wind up.

[00:19:33] You wind up in this world of gardens and chickens and fortified home security and emergency communications and plans, right? This is where you wind up. And you wind up—and, you know, if you get into it, or if you're already into it, then you can speak to the fact that it just—it's better. It's a better way to live.

[00:19:54] And then when crises come, which they always do, you're not one of these people who's running around with your—like, you know, an insane person fighting people over. Oh, Hunter, what's up? Is that the prep in Patriot over at X? Or is that Patriot—who is Patriot over at X? Good morning. And Hunter SF, what is going on? Was working in a school replacing the boiler systems.

[00:20:24] It was in the fallout shelter. No way you could stack the kids in that little space. Hunter SF is upon us, man. And Patriot, welcome. We do have a—I do have a—funny enough, I just downloaded a new Hammer Talk. A new Hammer Talk. All on Forges today.

[00:20:53] And that'll be going up for our members. Let's take a look at what our members have to look at and to read and to listen to over there at pbnfamily.com. Like I said, it's not typically news stuff around here. I'll tell you right now, these three things are all game changers. You know, you're putting up five-gallon bucket food storage.

[00:21:18] This gives you the calorie breakdown for tons of foods. So if you're going to do your calorie calculations, 2,000 calories per person per day, right? This is how you build out your food storage so you can sit—so when you're at home and saying you're preparing, you can count. You can do a physical count and say, okay, this is how long we have food for. This is how much food we have and how long it can sustain us. To be able to look at a five-gallon bucket and say that's X amount of calories makes life way easier.

[00:21:48] Or when you're doing the calculations, even if you've never done any food storage, and you can say to yourself, if I get three buckets of rice, five buckets of beans, whatever breakdown is, sugar, flour, and so on, you can say, this is how many calories I'm going to have and how long I can sustain my family. Then you can also prepare for the buckets where they're going to go. You know? You just start bucketing stuff up like I did all those years ago. You wind up sticking buckets anywhere you can fit them.

[00:22:16] The Ultimate Preppers Group Calorie Homestead Spreadsheet is an amazing document. It breaks down what you need. How much food do you need? And where this really shines, where this document really shines is if you have group. If you have a group or if you're expecting your numbers to change. But it's also great for initial planning. It's a spreadsheet where you plug in the amount of people and then it tells you the amount of food.

[00:22:42] It tells you the amount of chickens, goats, all kinds of stuff. All kinds of homesteading stuff, gardens. What you should have to sustain people. So where it really shines, like I said, is if you're a family of four. Let's say you're a family of four, right? But you know Aunt Kim's coming and her two kids. You know, you've already made these plans. Maybe you've got a survival group. They're going to come, whatever, a mag.

[00:23:09] If you're in that sort of a situation, this document gives the ability to pre-plan. And then you can either say, I've got that much food. Or you can say, oh no. You've got to bring some. This is exactly what you have to bring. Okay, so it is the prep and patriot up in X. Man, and Jim and Kumi Ori Farm is with us as well. Except on X. Everybody hanging out on X this morning. Why? You guys are watching.

[00:23:38] Everybody's watching the horrifying video of the plane crash, right? Video. News video is best through X. They do it the best. It's a cool platform. It is. Mine is riddled with violence. But, you know, you could set it up any way you want. Riddled in violence. You know what I need to do is I need to get more Warhammer in X. In my algorithm.

[00:24:07] Because that's nice too. Well, thanks everybody for tuning in. Joining us in chat here. Yeah, the news is better through X. There's no doubt about it. It's the better news platform in social media. Well, it might be the only real news platform that is social media as well. It's a good time. The only problem with X is you don't get any of the links in the show description. That's the problem, you know? So, you've got to live with that.

[00:24:38] All right. So, let's take a look here. We've got several people on who are members. Thank you guys so much for the support, by the way. It is epic. So, yesterday we posted the self-reliant suburbanite question mark podcast. This thing, this was like found lost media. My kids are always, right now my children are, well, my youngest at the very least,

[00:25:05] is obsessed with this category of content called lost media. And it's like all this old concept footage from movies and video games and stuff like that that you go search for. And this is like lost media. This is a video or a podcast I made before Christmas for members, and I never posted it in the craziness of Christmas time. And it's a good one.

[00:25:33] It's a good overview of, you know, what can you pull off in a suburban situation? You know, it's good to have the big plans of moving far, far away and dominating the landscape. But, you know, what else? What happens? What happens right here and now? Because, again, your path back to stability should be your North Star. You know what I mean? It should be your North Star. So you have to focus in on that.

[00:26:02] You have to make strides, even if you're planning on going other places. So we've got some hammer talk. We've got blacksmithing safety. That was a great one. The Firewolf Forge on fuel type. The Solo One Man. Oh, this is our family gear review. You've got to... Why is this not under the family gear? But this is the whole review of the Lima Tango 24-hour kit.

[00:26:28] The Solo One Man 24-hour kit, which, in my opinion, can sustain you much longer than that. We got some yakety-yak about drones and motherships. That'd be interesting to go back to listen to now that they've said what it is. Cubicle escape plan. I've got a new prepper fit and health I've got to get you guys. Yeah, definitely. Definitely got a new prepper fit and health.

[00:26:55] We've got to get on this natural medicine haul and give away, too. Yeah, I haven't really figured out how we're going to do that, conduct that giveaway. But I've got a stack of books over here. Let me see. No, I'm not going to do that. I've got a stack of books over here that are pretty damn good. Prep and Patriot, are you a Warhammer nerd as well? Is this something I didn't know about you?

[00:27:23] Because I am totally wrapped up in that world. Having a good time. Oh, this Thrill of the Fight 2, man, is so good. You see this Thrill of the Fight 2 right here? It's, uh... Man. You want to talk about an experience that is the true sort of like... And it's going to happen more in the future, but it's like the... The true culmination of video gaming and fitness. Thrill of the Fight 2 is it.

[00:27:53] Online boxing. Really good. Really good. Really hard. Like a real struggle. So one of the things that StreamYard really sucks at... Now, we're going to get into it right now, actually, J-Ferk. But one of the things that... I forget what I was going to say now. Oh, that StreamYard really sucks at is... They put all their Rumble comments down here. Right? And then... So at the bottom.

[00:28:23] So a new comment that comes up from Rumble, boom, pops up at the bottom. Then they do all their X comments at the top. Prep and Patriot says, of Warhammer... I know a lot of money will go into it, so I haven't fully dived in yet. DM me. And we can talk about that. There is...

[00:28:46] I don't want to go too deep into the Warhammer world today, but there is like a resounding idea that Warhammer is unaffordable. And, you know, it... And look, for what it is, depends on how much it drives you and how much you really dig it. But it can be expensive, and it looks very expensive on the face of it.

[00:29:06] But if you're like, you know, like who you are, Patriot, like a guy who's busy working, family, that kind of stuff, and you want this thing off in your periphery, off in your periphery, like that, to hop on when you got some free time because you like it. But, um... I can tell you exactly, like, you don't have to spend that much money. You don't have to spend that much money, and you will be totally over your head with things to do.

[00:29:35] You know? It's... There are boxes out there to buy and things like that that... It's not what a lot of people make it out to be. So, let's get into it. Let's get into the cash. Let's get in. We'll come back to the PBN membership website. I want those of you out there who are watching to sign up. That's what I want you to do. So I'm showing it to you. There's no...

[00:30:04] It's not a secret, okay? I'm not trying to... You know, it is what it is. I want you to sign up and become a member. Um... Because we do things that are... You know, you get better. You just get better. You do more stuff. Ask anybody who is a member. Investment is a thing, guys. You know what I mean? Like, having this in your periphery is cool. But once you invest into it and put money into it, all of a sudden you start to go, I need to do more of this stuff.

[00:30:34] Let me bring up this Lima Tango website real quick. Real quick. Real quick. And we'll get into the EDC kit. Okay? The EDC kit. I don't know why I'm doing a 30 plus minute show this morning. You're welcome. I'll try to make this as cool as I can for the podcast audience. But it is what it is. For those of you out there listening, podcast audience, audio only. Hopefully, this is one of the reasons why, uh...

[00:31:04] This is one of the reasons why you should become a member. Because I'm not going to show the whole kit today. But I will do a Family Gear full review on it for our members. And it might, you know, it'll eventually make it to the day... To the daylight. But it is what it is for now. Alright. Let's get into it, man. One of the funnest freaking segments of 2025. I'd have never imagined it.

[00:31:32] Like, there's very little gear review in the history of PBN. Under my banner. But this has, you know, quickly become like a really good time. You know what I mean? It really has. It's fun. Let's see. What's inside the cash today? Okay. We got the Lima. We got the Tango.

[00:31:58] You know, I discussed a bunch of things with Bill over at Lima Tango Survival. And I had this idea that backpacks and big giant kits, which they do really well, was going to be awesome. Was going to be like something that would be really intriguing. But what I came to realize is that these little kits, like the little fire kit I showed you, they make a world of difference for people. Which is why the next thing I wanted to show you is this EDC kit.

[00:32:27] The EDC kit had, what? This thing's got a, what does this have on it? A stopwatch? Does this have a watch on it? I've never seen this. The time is wrong because I just opened a box. I have never seen one of these with a watch on it. You know, it's a paracord bracelet. We may have to dig into the paracord bracelet and see what else is going on. This thing is a little robust, actually. It's got a whistle built into it.

[00:32:56] It's got one of those thumb, uh, I don't know how to open the thing. There's a notch here I'm assuming is part of the deal. See the built-in whistle? That's pretty cool. Look, let's talk about these things for real. Because I never wear them. You know what I mean? But I'll tell you what is really cool about these is when you take your kids places,

[00:33:23] you know, hikes, that kind of stuff, and you can give them something. I can't figure out how to get it off. Okay, we'll move on. There's a button here. There's like a little, you see it? This thing, I'm assuming is the way to get it off. I don't want to break it. Anyhow, now we're going to have to edit the video. So the EDC kit, the Everyday Carry kit, is slam packed. Let me get out of the way.

[00:33:54] Because I want you to see all that's in it. This is one of those things. We were talking about car preparedness, you know? And this was one of those things that came to mind is why I wanted to take a look at it. Wow, this thing is packed. This thing is packed. You know, another thing that this guy does, man, that Bill over at Lima Tango does, is he does some vac sealing, man. One thing's for sure.

[00:34:21] If you have a Lima Tango kit, you're going to have some dry stuff. Whoa, buddy. Calm down. I think he thought that I was the candle. So, yeah, a lot of stuff. In the fire kit, I keep the fire kit right here. He's got all the fire starters are vac sealed. And in this little kit here, it comes with a tea light, which is also vac sealed. And, you know, there's more stuff in here that is vacuum sealed.

[00:34:49] I think that's a little detail that is just awesome. What's this little gadget? Oh, this is a nice little clip-on light. This is nice. I like this. Very cool. This is a very cool little light here. It's got a clip on it. It seems to twist, but I think that's just to replace the battery. I don't know if it...

[00:35:19] Oh, no, it does. It does. Yeah. It's got that sort of focal lighting when you pull the barrel in and out. We'll call it the barrel, I guess. But, yeah, man, this is one of those problem-solving kits. That's what I'm talking about with Lima Tango. It's got the giant handkerchief in here. Oh, it comes with one of my favorites. One of my favorites. The Lima Tango lighter. Why do I love the Lima Tango lighter so much?

[00:35:50] Because I think people have lost their minds with firecraft. That's why. I think people have largely lost their minds with firecraft. Check it out. Okay? We can look at it... I can't pull all that stuff out. If I pull all that stuff out, first of all, I won't be able to make my family gear video. And second of all, it'll be a mess right here and I'll wind up unplugging stuff. But there's food in there. There's water in there. There's energy in there.

[00:36:18] You've got a robust sort of Mylar. What are those called? You know what they're called. Poncho. We got a little bit of medications in there. A little bit of first aid. Well, not a bad little set of first aid, actually. Electrolyte powder, burn gel. Well, we've got acetaminophen, ibuprofen. We got a little hygiene. We got some butt wipes for hygiene. It's cool, man.

[00:36:45] We'll look at it all up close in the Family Gear video for you incredible members. Look, this is one of the big things. Do you see the Band-Aids? Why is the Band-Aid such a big deal? Because there's two types of Band-Aids. There's Band-Aids that work and Band-Aids that don't work. Right? That's the way I look at Band-Aids. That's really what it is. There are Band-Aids that work and there are Band-Aids that don't work. The fabric Band-Aids work.

[00:37:14] Everything else doesn't work. If you've got kids and you're putting a Nerf Band-Aid on a brush burn or something like that, fine. But if you need a Band-Aid, like you need one, something's bleeding, you just got to stop bleeding, cleaned it up, and you need to put something on it that's going to stick on there while you do something, like while you physically do a thing. There's two types. One works. The other one doesn't work. The other one just gets bloody or wet or dirty and falls off, and then you have no Band-Aid.

[00:37:44] My experience, personal. Okay? All right, we got to round this show out, folks. Holy moly, 40 minutes. See, when I get a full chat room and stuff like that, it's like, I don't know. It's a lot tougher to quit. It's like a real show almost. All right. I don't know. I feel like going over this stuff.

[00:38:11] See, the other thing that we do over at PBNFamily.com, we put up a variety of series so that we're not just... It's fun to pump out random material. So, Kumi Ori, yeah, spend some time over there, man. Well, we won't be on Spreaker just yet, but you can listen to us later on Spreaker because we're not live.

[00:38:41] So go to PBNFamily.com, guys. Have a look around. Get your free book. Sign up for the newsletter up top, and you'll get another free book full of, like, how to build your own survival library fundamentally, and you need a hard copy survival library. And take a look around. Like I said, we've got series on fitness and health, series on bushcraft skills, entrepreneurship, blacksmithing in the backyard. We've got a great six-hour bug-out series.

[00:39:08] If you're really, like, serious about the bug-out, everyone should listen to the bug-out series. We got member discounts. Our member courses are free. Or our courses, rather, are free. Anyone can take these courses, but they're free to members. And not to mention, you become part of this community, this community of members that really kind of sustains PBN. That's the truth of it all.

[00:39:38] You know, the truth of it all is that without the members, I don't know. I don't know where we'd be, to be honest. But, so, amidst all the executive orders signing, all the world saying their two cents about what's happening in the United States, those going the way of the U.S. and those going the opposite way, and all the madness that will occur therein, you need a North Star in it all, you know, for action.

[00:40:06] And that's self-reliance and independence. That's prepping. That's homesteading. To rise above all of this chaos, you have to have the path back to stability. You know what I mean? I'm going to get out of here, folks. Tons of links in the description below. I didn't do a great job at focusing on our sponsors today, so take a look down there. We've got a ton of great stuff. I'm going to read you a little something as I go out,

[00:40:34] since we're talking about the path, the path, the path. Robert Frost. You will know it. It's not a revelation. It's not something new. But here goes. I shall be telling this with a sigh. Somewhere ages and ages hence, two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.

[00:41:04] Think about it, PBN family. Hop on your path back to stability. All right? Talk to you soon.
