Oh, no show intro. How about that? Well, no show intro. Welcome in everybody. It's gonna be a little bit of some unorthodox,
probably pretty cool, probably pretty fun,
shows via video over the next few.
Probably some pretty unorthodox stuff.
I don't wanna go into it.
You know, it's the course of the life of mortal men on this earth.
It's just things going on in my personal life in the house that don't make for a good sit
in front of a camera attached to a laptop kind of show.
So suffice it to say over the next few there could be a lot of me
wandering around random places with random backpacks on conducting shows
just for the sheer presence of the peace and tranquility that nature allows. And
you know with me and in case you don't know, but with me,
there's always a handful of, it's always a list of things running, you know what I
mean? There's always a list of things running whenever I do a thing. It's so
very rare that I do one thing, you know what I mean? That's just focused on the one thing, you know, but.
So we're, yeah, we're gonna be trying some new stuff out
over these next few weeks.
There'll be some audio podcasts right off the top though.
Like, you gotta understand, we do audio podcasts
at prepperbroadcasting.com on iTunes and Spotify.
The bulk of you guys listen via audio through Spreaker.
It's not like we have some tremendous, we have a nice audience over at Rumble, but it's
important for everybody to know that.
What I could use from you guys today, so in other words, long story short, like take your ass over to prepperbroadcasting.com
and yeah, you know, become a subscriber. It's free. Make sure that you listen to our audio
podcasts. They're really great. You know, if you're getting into prepping, you could
do exactly what it is that I'm doing right now, which is walking up
hills with a backpack on. Maybe it's your bug out bag, and you're testing out that bug out bag, but you're simultaneously listening to us. 2025 has been the year of many things for me, folks,
but I'll tell you what, I don't think I've had a year. The only year in comparison was like 2018,
where I had remotely the sort of hands-on experience
with the bug out bag world that I've had this year.
And yeah, I don't know.
The immersion in the bug out process or the backpacking
You know the types of backpacks the gear inside of bat. What would you really need need within a backpack?
Even the sort of I'll tell you what like
even the sort of faulty idea
what? Like even the sort of faulty idea that you might pack a backpack to meet all your needs is a little crazy. Do you know, years and years ago I was talking
to Ryan Buford, the host of the then Next Generation podcast on PBN with his
son, the podcast that is on my ever growing list of
things I regret not doing
In other words like bringing it back from the dead with my own kids and
I feel the anxiety the fatherly anxiety kicking in just from saying that out loud.
Saying that out loud and understanding the reality of time.
But anyway, years ago I talked to him about the concept, oh, I forgot to spray myself.
Holy macaroni.
All right, this is the perfect time to turn the camera on.
I don't know what this is the perfect time to turn the camera on I Don't know what this is
It's not an edible mushroom, but it's a mondo. It's a monster
Comments fire wolf forging the comments. What's up, man?
We who else is Jay Fergan here, I didn't say hi Jordan is there anything more
Is there anything more Is there anything more
Wonderful than knowing
That the phoenix will rise in the in the comment section. I do appreciate you every day jay ferg. I just want to let you know that
I want to let you know the feeling of knowing that you're not alone
When you're out here doing a live broadcast.
Goes a long way, you know?
It goes a long-eth way.
Yeah, give me a sec.
I'm just, I'm getting this thing together here.
Gotta change the layout.
Gotta change the layout.
Oh, everybody is. Now here's the question.
I cannot mirror this thing cannot, I can't flip it.
That's a problem.
That's a problem we're gonna have to do this view.
We're gonna have to do the sneaky, sneaky, sneaky. I don't know what these guys are.
Anybody know? They're beautiful though. Look at the sun, like sunburst pattern.
They got this weird thing underneath. Whenever I see this guy, I always get nervous.
You know what I mean? If I'm identifying, and there's a baby coming up right here too. See him? He's starting his little journey. So what's up? Let's see
how this is going to work. I wish the comment section were bigger and my face were smaller.
How do I do that?
I'm going to double tap the screen.
It may shut the entire screen. you you Oh, I took myself off the stage. Streamyard got me. Streamyard got me on that one. Okay.
How is it? How's the sound and stuff? Is it uh, is it decent? I don't know what like the,
I'm not sure what the whole signal is like back here. No clue. No clue. Definitely off center,
not loving that. How do we tweak? Tweak it a tweak. There we go. All right. We've done it. We've done
it. I didn't bring you back here to look at mushrooms, but you never know what could happen.
You know what I mean? So we'll have to see what we come up with. I do have a bag on here.
We'll talk about that. We'll talk about that in a few.
Maybe not in too detailed, too much in detail.
We are en route to a place that will be less shaky.
But it has been quite the year for emergency preparedness,
gear and bug outs in my own two hands.
And as I was talking about before I came online and got excited about that little toadstool over there,
I used to talk to Ryan Buford about sort of a module, not module, modular Not module modular Gear pack that was kind of broken down
because years ago I realized like
The pre-made backpack the bug out bag if you will
You know
It's one of those things that like
You do enough of these weird future Dan operations and you come to realize like, you've got to
have mission specific stuff in your bag, you know?
Just is what it is.
Like the mission specific aspect of what you're doing is how you have success in a bug out,
right?
In other words, think about it this way like if
you weren't building a bug out bag for the what-if right because what you're
doing when you're building a bug out bag right now is you're trying to figure
out like what's the most likely thing I'm gonna have trouble with and so on
but if you were if you knew that this time next week you're going to have to bug out and you knew exactly why and where and how
It'd be a real different looking bag, right?
It might be a completely different looking bag than what your bug out bag looks like right now
Because it'd be mission specific
You'd know
From what terrain you will be traveling and all that kind of stuff, right? Where you'd be heading
Am I killing people with the shakiness?
Because we can go back to audio
For a little bit until I get close to where I'm heading
Let me put a cool media asset up so you can
Stare at something cooler than a black screen.
How about that?
Or not.
Oh, you know what we got to do?
Okay.
So yeah, largely, you know, the bug out industry is an industry.
I hope at least everybody understands that much about it, right?
It's one of those things where you got a bunch of people who want to make some money.
And there's so many companies out there now. It's unbelievable. I
Mean just unbelievable amounts of people who are throwing
Basically all the same gear into a backpack and selling it to you for a variety of prices and that's kind of one of the funniest Things about it to me, right?
Is that you can have?
You could have these like
Almost I mean they're probably not only identical but they're probably the exact same kind of gear thrown into a backpack maybe
the backpack differs a bit and sold it varying prices like I've seen bags that seem almost completely the same
With like $70 difference between the two
maybe the bag quality is you know better or worse whatever the situation is but
Such is the situation
So, I don't know I have my hands on bug out bags a lot lately and it's just
one of those things where it's like, well it's like everything in prepping, right? A
lot of solutions start with digging into the subject in any way that you can. You know,
in other words, like you start your first garden. It's not like you go into it with all of the right answers. All of the,
you know, the soil's perfect, you know, exactly what to grow in your area. You know, exactly
how everything is going to go and, you know, how it's going to look. There's all kinds of stuff that happens, right?
Where you're, I mean, it's like the least favorable,
and this is for Dave Jones, this is one of those PBN adages.
I did create a running list of PBN adages
that we need to have on hand.
But prepping takes time.
It takes years. And the problem when you. But prepping takes time. It takes years.
And the problem when you admit that prepping takes time,
survival, homesteading, basically any skill, really,
the problem when you admit that is you hurt people selling
stuff, or not necessarily stuff, but you hurt people trying
to sell you a quick
solution. Right now all the companies out there that are like, dude, listen, I've got
exactly what you need to get you as prepared as you and your family need to be by this
time tomorrow. And all you need to do is buy my tool. All you need to do is buy my kit, my backpack,
my sew-on, my soapboard, right? That's all you got to do. And then you're good to go.
The fundamental problem when you make the admission to an audience like ours,
who knows it? I mean, most of you do it. That preparing and prepping and survival and all that takes time, takes years,
is that the allure of some of those things goes away. The idea that I'm gonna buy, you know,
the
85 in one survival tool that turns into a tent and
and,
you know, you can put wheels on it and it turns into a car. All this
kind of stuff doesn't make any sense anymore. But it's really been glaring
with bug-out bags and bug-out gear or whatever you want to call it, gear in
general. And it's really been like, well, the lesson, the main lesson is, like I said, mission specific.
You know what I mean?
Mission specific.
Reminds me of those seed bank guys.
Hey, look, man, I'll be honest with you on seed banks.
You want to talk seed banks?
Cause I've got a lot of insight.
It's a good topic, Firewolf, for a change. You bring
a good topic to the damn show. I'm joking. Oh my god. What the hell kind of steroid mushroom
is that? I don't want to show it to you. It's all eaten. So, I've used seed banks for probably 10 years, not gonna lie. I've used seed,
I've grown seeds, I mean plants from seeds that are nearly 10 years old. This year, this year I'm literally eating green beans from a pack of seeds from a My Patriot Supply Seed Bank
that was marked like PACT 2016.
So there's a lot in those things.
There's a lot in there.
There's a lot that's good and a lot that's not so good. And the one thing about seeds as a resource,
I'll tell you this much, is better to have a bunch than not,
even if you don't know what you're doing with them.
It's the way I look at it.
Better to have a ton than to not have enough.
You want to make your own seed bank. You want to make sure you have some kind of garden or community
garden. What the hell? Oh my, thought it was a giant bug sucking the life out of my jugular
vein. But I've used those things, man. I've used those kits. I've used those kits like the
herbal kits. Well, hell, I remember when I wasn't even doing this yet on the full time
and I was still working and I seeded up a planter that was empty outside of my office with lemon balm and skull cap,
Mad Dog skull cap seeds from one of those, right?
And absolutely right on the money, you know?
Absolute, God, I wish this thing flipped.
If this thing flipped, it'd be so good.
I got to figure out how to do it.
That's all I need. How
am I going to feed people until the radishes come up? Well you know I don't
know if you're being funny but that's a legitimate question there for sure. You
know I'm not entirely sure what these are. They almost look like the beginning of my taki.
They could very well be. I gotta keep an eye on them. I've never seen them in here before,
but they do look like it.
Hmm. Oh, they smell terrible.
But they do look like that a little bit.
What is it? Rooster of the woods. I'm kidding.
Hmm. They usually show up at the base of trees though, not in the middle of walking paths like these.
Exploding with mushrooms, man. They absolutely exploding in this little stand of woods.
So of course the big issue with survival seed banks is you get a bunch of stuff thrown at you
and if you don't know what you're doing, you don't know what you're doing.
And then you're wasting fine dirt that could be used to grow things that will really work that are pretty common like tomatoes,
you know? And maybe if you really don't know what you're doing, you're putting in that
good old pack of Martha Washington's asparagus and expecting something to come out of it.
And for those of you who are, you know, uninitiated.
That's a perennial, you know, so you're not getting jack out of that year one,
maybe not even year two.
And that's assuming you have soil conditions, you know,
ideal for asparagus in the first place,
which may not be the case.
So, you know, it's one of those things.
It's, I guess we're gonna have to get a gimbal to do this right.
This run of the mill sort of tripod thing in my hand ain't really gonna give people
vertigo.
So you can wind up planning things that don't work in your soil, planning things that you
think are going to, I don't need anything Jordan, don't worry.
I don't need anything unless I'm like 110% on it. I was hoping to come across him 110%
this morning and we probably will. Sorry, I don't mean to like be lavishly running my fingers through my hair but I'm hitting
spiderweb on top of spiderweb.
All in all though I think I've had about five or six of those survival seed banks.
Where they really help you out I'll tell you where they're really
effective is you get the opportunity
to plant some weird shit without having to waste the money on the seeds themselves, right?
Like I always plant beets, I buy beets, you know, because I like the, I like the taste
of beets, I really do.
Beet juice, that kind of stuff.
But they always struck me as one of those seeds in a survival seed bank that like, you
know, you'd be like, why the hell, who the hell's plant is beets?
They suck, they taste like dirt.
And when you buy a survival seed bank, you get a bunch of stuff in there that you might
not otherwise plant.
Onion seeds, you know, not a lot of people do like seeds
from onion. Even if you go to a southern states or a store like that, like a gardening store,
you're often going to get like, what's the proper name for them, Jordan? When you buy
the little baby onions and just grow them up, you know, you're like adopting an onion.
It's not even like growing one. You're like adopting it at a young age and you just put it in the grass.
You know, they call them like seed potatoes when you get the little potato. Nothing wrong
with it. But you get the actual onion seeds in the seed bank, you know. This little area here, folks, that we're walking through right now is just such a wonderful
place.
Onion sets, that's right.
That's right.
Thank you for the support, Jay Ferg.
I appreciate it.
That's one of those, some of those things, some of those words in the vocabulary.
I just know they're sitting right on the tip of your tongue a lot of times when I'm talking.
I know you're just like, there it is.
But yeah, they give you the ability to plant some weird stuff you've never done before
and I think that's cool.
I think it's cool when you have time, you know, when you can play around and learn,
because I've learned a lot so much from those survival seed banks in terms of what grows well
in my area and what don't. You know, it's not always super straightforward. The only thing
missing from this little operation we got going on right now is, uh, is like a flask of coffee.
You know, I need like a, I'll be do the plate carrier with a
coffee mug holster on it
Then it'll really be fun if we come across a runner or a biker or somebody
who's like walking their dog and they run into this goofy dude with this mustache carrying a camera great and
and mustache, carrying a camera, great. And he's also got a chest rig on with a coffee mug
strapped to it. I'm pretty good though at finding these spots in these woods where no
one is. Apparently right now I'm good at finding the spots where there are no chanterelle mushrooms
which are very rare. I mean which is very rare right now I wanted to show you guys
because I in my head I walk by them all the time I'm always walking if you're on
my Instagram you see them but I'm walking by them all the time and I'm
always like I got to do a show out here and show people how these things pop up
just in the middle of a walking path because they really do. So what's everybody uh oh
yeah Firewolf now you're talking now you're oh Bam Bam what's up welcome in I appreciate it
I appreciate you joining us for the live out here in the woods. Yeah, we may be conducting some strange operations in the field over the next few weeks.
We've got a bunch of creatures in the house, and they're not quiet.
They're not even remotely close to quiet.
And what I learned is to assume when you have
a multitude of creatures living in your home
that you're gonna be able to do a nice,
quiet and peaceful podcast
is to set yourself up for failure
right out of the gate, you know?
But Fire Wolf, I like where your head's at, my man.
That cold brew coffee though, that thing,
that's a thing.
You gotta be careful with that cold brew coffee though, that thing, that's a thing. Like you gotta be careful with that cold brew coffee.
I'll have to bring a spade.
I'll have to bring something to be able to dig a quick cat hole if I do the old cold
brew coffee.
What's up, born to Braap? Holy moly! Born to Braap is in the
house. I'm uh headed up a steep incline looking for some fun mushrooms to show you guys. Sort
of a guest appearance, I will call it that. What do you guys think about the Russia gate?
Let's go from let's do a stop set and go from like a real nice wholesome preparedness show
where all are welcome into a violently sort of political situation where everyone's uncomfortable immediately
No, no, we do I do have dreams of doing a bug out I mean a big foot hunt though, I always want to do that with my kids
I always thought it would be kind of fun because the way I always looked at it is
Firework porch probably hit the nail on the head with distraction.
That might be summed up really in one fell swoop.
We might be able to go with that.
Distraction is probably.
You definitely have the ability though to go online and find a bunch of compelling,
compelling evidence that your area may or may not or an area nearby you may or may not
have a big city, right?
There's definitely some compelling footage and evidence in Western Virginia.
One notably is like a guy on a four-wheeler.
And I watch that stuff and I say to myself,
you'd be cool to head out.
Peak Bigfoot season. See what's what.
When is peak Bigfoot season? Anybody know?
When can I take a tag out on a
Australopithecus no on a what do what do they call?
Not a australia australopithecus, right?
Is that what it is?
Or is it I think it's got like a gigantes in its name or something. I don't
I like fire wolf Forge man. He totally killed the political end of things thank you.
I didn't really feel like getting into it but I kind of wanted to yap about it a little bit
but I like to buy. As soon as I find a place suitable to sit this thing down we'll sit chat.
We're doing 28 minutes?
That's the problem with walking around the woods,
doing these shows.
It's just way funner.
Funner?
Way funner.
And I don't know.
Having a good time.
All right.
I found my mossy rock.
I found me one mossy rock to settle on.
In order to avoid this whole thing turning into a vomit vertigo fest, I'm gonna switch
up the, did you see a squirrel?
Right by me.
I'm gonna switch up the camera and I'm seeing stuff. Anyway, that way I can
set the tripod up without having you throw up your eggs. Oh man, the eggs. The eggs sound
good. PBM family, there is so much shit going on in my brain. It's unbelievable.
It is unbelievable. Oh, you know what?
This ain't gonna work because it's not flat.
We're gonna need a more effective tripod
for this operation.
I think we can make it work.
Oh yeah, we can make it work.
We can definitely make it work. Oh yeah. We can definitely make it work.
How we looking? How we looking out here in the depths? Ooh. The other secret thing about doing the show via movement is you're moving.
It's movement.
Counts towards the day, right?
So we did a whole lot of yapping about Bug Out Bag, so I'm not going to go too deep into
what it is.
It's on my back.
Suffice it to say it's just me.
The solo One Man by Lima Tango.
It's a little bit modified for this walk.
There's some things I'm not carrying in it.
But it's a great bag, really phenomenal backpack.
All their stuff is great.
Really, they're an awesome sponsor to have.
You know, there's nothing better for a guy like me than to have a sponsor I could send
you to and know that stuff is good. I remember doing sponsorships in the past. I'm
not saying I won't do them because these guys have a lot of money. So sometimes those things happen.
But it's something like doing a like a gold IRA sponsorship, you know what I mean? Like
selling you on getting a gold IRA.
And my biggest problem with that is I don't have an IRA.
So it feels weird, you know, just one of those things.
It doesn't mean I can't solve a problem for you.
Doesn't mean that it won't like prove useful still.
Sorry.
If we're in like a one wrong move and this whole thing falls
over type of deal, but I don't want to keep my feet on it because I'm rocking too much.
Let's go with that. Go with that. But you know what I mean? It gives you one of those
feelings. One of those like kind of what am I, what am I peddling here? I'm not too big in the peddling of things.
What is that?
I can't identify that in the
Why can't I identify that in the actual behind? It's the ghost in the woods.
The ghost in the woods, folks.
So what's really weird is we're at this, oops, we're at this moment with PBN right now
where I guess the next big thing on the docket
in terms of real life events,
and like us participating is Prepper Camp.
I feel like I'm missing something.
What else is going on?
Is there a show in the upcoming?
Is there a, you know, I do have a Forrest Garvin podcast
I have to put up, start putting up.
And it's good.
It's a great sort of security, privacy driven podcast.
Different than like the Prepping Academy,
if you've ever heard that show.
It's good, it's a good one.
It's fallen into this place of
the whole online privacy setting
that that world is taking over. I don't know. I've been playing around with my ghost phone.
I get it. I think there's utility to it. They are undoubtedly will become a time where I'm
like doing these shows on on one of those.
But yeah, it is what it is.
It is what it is.
How many of you come out in the woods?
Another big thing, maybe one of the most valuable things
that the Patriot Power Hour guys have taught me
with their challenges, right?
It's the Dave Jones adage of too many bursts in real life, laid before you.
When you do these sort of self-imposed survival challenges, you definitely get to see like,
you get that weird shock, that brutal awakening where you go like, ooh, if my family were
here that wouldn't have been good, right? If family were here, that wouldn't have been
good, right? If my crew were here, that wouldn't
good. Mexico is going full digital ID, no ghost phones for them.
Did you guys see the UK is letting 16 year old kids vote?
What's going on?
What's going on? What's going on?
So two things back to back that I thought were kind of funny.
Over the weekend, I see that the 16-year-olds are going to be allowed to vote in the United
Kingdom.
So, you know, Mohammed has come.
That's all there is to that.
That's a done deal now, right?
You get the next up and coming generation
of radicals to get into the voting world in the UK and if you're a Brit, man, God bless you,
because it's going to be a war over there. It's going to be a war for your nation, you know?
You don't get to take the, you don't get to set sail and go across the world to do that whole thing.
So I see that. Then I see Ellen DeGeneres left the United States to run from Donald Trump,
and she decided to settle in the United Kingdom. I mean, you know, talk about uninformed poor
decision-makers. What is it, all taxation without representation
for our 16-year-olds?
Oh.
Oh, well, you know, there is something to that.
Taxation without.
No, I don't know, though.
I am my son's representative, right? Isn't
that the truth? I think that's a viable truth, right? Like, oh, we got a trail
walker. Let me kill the camera real quick. I don't want to get the guy in any kind of situation.
Hey bud, I turned the camera off for you.
I'll be coming down this way a lot.
Okay, I gotcha.
Enjoy yourself, man.
But how do you feel about that, right?
I mean, if you're looking for representation
at the age of 16, I don't know if I...
The way I look at that is that's the job of the parent. Now, of course, you know, you got people who aren't...who don't
have parents and that kind of thing. It is what it is. But when I think of my own kids,
who's representing them? You want Cory Booker representing your 16 year old or you want yourself representing your 16 year old? You know what I mean?
Think about it, right?
Think about it
I don't know about parenting these days, but who knows it's not easy. It's definitely not an easy go
um
I don't know how a nation survives 16 year old voters though.
I really have.
I don't understand it.
I couldn't imagine voting.
Just to let you know how different and how crazy you can be when you're 16 compared to
what you become when you're an actual voter.
I think I wanted to own a strip club when I was 16.
In all honesty.
This is a totally different creature.
You know what I mean?
You're a different thing.
And you got to take that into consideration, into account, right?
You need the guidance.
You definitely need the guidance.
But these days, man, I don't know.
That's the big question in the heads of parents and children forever, right?
Or children in society at large.
What do we expect out of a kid?
But I do feel like it's high time to expect a good deal out of a kid because they have the
More resources than ever right
More resources than ever before I don't know
It is a weird world out there
Here's a here's here's the question. Okay. This is the question when it comes to child rearing.
And the pitfalls of rearing children and the pitfalls of children in general.
Do you think kids...
When you see a kid who is lost or who is unprepared for the world, right?
Yo, I'd be much richer, Jay Ferg.
There's no doubt about it.
Had I gone the strip club route, I would have been much more better off financially than
I am.
There's no doubt about it.
Of course, that pales in comparison to a lot of things particularly, you know
You're standing with the man upstairs. I don't think his take on that kind of a
Aspiration goes very far. But anyway, here's the question on kids
What does kids worse right bad parenting and when I say bad parenting, let me be very specific. Give them everything,
expect nothing of them. And that or a kid who's left to his own devices because the
parents are too damn busy to pay them any attention. Or maybe the parents aren't there
ever at all. Drugs, you know, drugs take parents away as much as wealth nowadays.
I've come to learn that through my son, right? Think about it. What is worse for a child
to be on their own or to be coddled beyond belief. Because to this day and age,
we're really capable as parents of doing both, right?
We can really coddle a kid,
like, let me get you to this
and I'll put the straw in with the umbrella
and I'll get, you know?
Because it feels good as a parent.
Especially if you're a parent,
I don't know all your guys' background, of course,
but if you're a parent who came from, you know,
tough times tough
places like to be able to to be able to shield the kids from that is nice just is you know just is
but you could fall into a trap where you're doing everything for them and then you know they reach
a certain age and you're like oh my god like this like, this guy can't do anything. Right? I'm interested
in your comments, especially Jordan. He's smart but dumb as hell. Oh, yeah. Yeah, exactly.
16 to 18 is the age where you start to realize number one you know everything, number two
you're invincible and I can't think of a more dangerous sort of voting block than that.
You know everything, you're invincible and all of the rest of your energy is towards
money and girls.
And that's it. That's
That's 16 by the way, I remember it anyway
So yeah, it's one of those things right?
Heart hurts my heart when their mom chose drugs over them
Yeah, addictions a motherfucker buddy. I could tell you that
If there's one man who can tell you from the outside looking in, well not necessarily from the outside, but you know, the level of addiction
that I've seen in my life is tremendous, tremendous. And it has very little to do with choice once
you're addicted. I mean the choice that you made is the choice that you made and now you got to live with it.
Everybody in your life's got to live with it.
But once you're an addict man, choice is way out the picture, you know.
A more apt word would be warfare.
That's a more apt word, you know.
Mom don't choose the drugs or the booze over you.
She just loses the war that she's in that day.
Unfortunately, some people, you know, they lose that war all the way to the end.
Some people battle back, you know, but I think that is the fundamental question for kids
this day and age, right?
Another thing that's interesting about kids this day and age is the very real potential
of a kid who has the parental structure and the resources to really sort of maximize himself and if you could put them on a trajectory oh you almost got me you
little bastard I almost walked right into a spider I wanted to show you I'm
pretty sure these guys are jack-o-lantern they could be cinnamon
chanterelles actually I'm gonna I need to do a little more research. They definitely have like the chantrelle
I
Don't know see but the
See how the gills you can't really see it that good. This isn't a great camera for it, but the
The gills are very defined
But the gills are very defined. The chanterelle gills go all the way down the stem,
and they don't stop.
But this is a jack-o-lantern, which I'm pretty sure
it is because of the color.
But it looks small.
These are very small.
And when they're small like this,
there's something called a cinnamon chanterelle.
It looks pretty similar.
I've got to figure it out. I won't eat it. I'm looking to see if
I can smell sort of like that cinnamony thing or the reason it gets its name. But they're
everywhere too around here. But I've, I've seen big bunches of those jack-o-lantern mushrooms
and they pile on each other. They um, they're beautiful too.
They look like something you'd want to eat. All right, now I'm going to use you as a
spiderweb swatter. Okay, I wonder if I'll be out here again today.
Okay, I can see the problem with doing these shows. We're at 44 minutes already.
I'm not even remotely close to wanting to stop, but we're going to. I're at 44 minutes already. I'm not even remotely
close to wanting to stop but we're going to I'm going to sign off I'm going to use my
willpower and sign off because we got other work to do. I'll take you to the bottom of
the hill. Sometimes there's some cool stuff down on these big rocks down here. Some growth.
It's a good area for oyster mushrooms too in the fall.
But good God, there's spiders everywhere. This live walk in the woods is pretty slick,
James. Good stuff. You like it? This could be a moment of revolution for me. Good. It very well could because it's out of necessity, you know. Sometimes
the things that move you in necessity change everything. This thing got enormous. Holy
shit, what is this thing? This thing was growing out of this tree. You see it right there?
It was growing out of that tree and it was like half the size of that.
It's a mushroom. I gotta be careful walking around in these leafy areas because I was totally
assaulted by chiggers and I'm almost sure they came from these woods. I might be wrong. I was at
another stand of woods that evening before and I really deserved
it if you know what I mean. Like that stand of woods I went into was like chigger approved.
Oh, Hark. I gotta go over there. I gotta risk it for you.
Oh, they're everywhere. Okay.
Well, that one looks better anyway.
I gotta risk it for you, because this is new.
This is a new one, I haven't seen it.
Let's go take a look.
I'll be cursing you all once my legs are on fire
with chigger bites.
But these are so pretty pretty it's worth it these
are so beautiful it might be worth it now if there's a copperhead underneath
this tree then that might be a different story oh my god oh my god look at them
they're so you see them close can I? Oh, that's not bad at all.
You see these fucking beautiful things. I mean this guy is so nice.
That is just a doll right there.
He's got one next to him. He's got a little guy coming up and then there's one back here.
If you really play around in here man, you'll find even more.
But they're beautiful chanterelle mushrooms right there.
Gorgeous.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Yeah, this might be the way, uh, born to brat.
This might be the way.
I just like the hermit so much, you know what I mean?
There's just something about the hermit cast. The hermit cast is like in the in front of the
computer, hood up, coffee, you know, no video, actual podcast. Hey yo, polypore!
Look at this monster.
Oh, I killed it.
It was so heavy I broke the stem.
I'm gonna have to come back and bring it home now.
Wow, that thing is huge.
It's fragrant too.
That's a monster.
Beautiful.
God.
Unbelievable. Unbelievable. God. Unbelievable. Un-be-lie-vable. I killed it. I'll have to come
back and get it. I'm not carrying it all the way out of here. I'll wind up ripping it into a million
bits. So, I guess the big payoff came at the end of the broadcast, huh, in terms of mushrooming.
The mushrooming and the foraging end came much later.
See, that's what I mean though.
Like, it's not been that long.
Like, I wasn't in these woods, I'm sure, two days ago.
Three days ago, for sure.
That thing wasn't there.
In three days' time, a mothership grew.
Think a mushroom mothership. All right, folks, I'm getting out of here. Don't forget to support the
incredible sponsors, particularly Lima Tango Survival. Look at this thing.
