Episode Date: August 4, 2025

What an amazing feat and an I credible resource the Changing Earth has been all these years! Thanks Sara & Chin

Welcome back to the Changing Earth podcast with author Sarah F Hathaway and co-host Chen Gibson, blending survival fiction and fact to bring you entertaining education that will help you dream, survive and thrive. And now here's your hosts, Sarah F Hathaway and Chen Gibson. Hello, welcome back to the Changing Earth podcast. You know, 10 years of podcasting and we still have technical difficulties. What's up? It's still new.

It's still going on. It's because the technology is always evolving, you know, and we're just trying to... I'm glad you said evolving, not improving. Yeah, right. That doesn't necessarily mean it's improving. It's just evolving. No, we like our new streaming platform and it's okay, and so I can't complain, but we're still getting the bugs out of it. I just don't get the normal use out of it. But big news today guys, big news. Wow. 10 year anniversary, first of all, right? 10 years of doing the Changing Earth podcast. I started when I was 25. Here I am 10 years of doing the Change in Earth podcast. I started when I was 25. Here I am 10 years later, still 25.

And it's just amazing how time doesn't fly. Don't I wish? No, a little bit older than that. I'm a little bit older than that now. So when we started, I only published Day After Disaster. The series, the Change in Earth series has grown into eleven book series. Eleven. You guys heard me right. Guys, here we go. Las Vegas years. Look at that. It

has arrived. It looks so beautiful to you. That's, you know, that's my man, Douglas Hogan ripping up the covers. So, it is available for pre-order right now. Help me out, guys. Go pre-order one. It's a couple bucks. Come on. Support a struggling author you know. Get it at Amazon. Order it up. If you want to sign one you can order them from me and I'll have them out at Prepper Camp. So you know you're getting hooked up Chin. But uh yeah it's finally done. How many years ago? 10 years ago, I published Day After Disaster. I was like, I'll cover those years eventually. So we finally did it.

Yeah, 11 books. The audio drama now. The audio drama is a really cool project to be working on. Hopefully a TV series before too long. We got pieces of motion, but you know how it is. So you just never know. Almost 500 hours of survival knowledge. And I got to tell you, when I was going back through, I'm trying to pick two,

we tried to pick two shows and we really liked out of every season. It was rough. I was like, I set a lofty goal for myself cuz there's so much good stuff. I'm like, I need to go back through and listen to this. Yeah, I misread that. I thought you said pick two shows out of ten years. And then I read it again and you said two out of each book. I'm like, whoa, how much time?

I know. I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was gonna be such a challenge. There's a lot of like, crazy good survival knowledge in there. Like I said, I'm my goal now is to go back and listen to them all because it's just it's incredible. I was like, Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I forgot all about that. You know, I forgot all about learning about so many awesome professionals and everything. So, so many amazing friendships. And I have to tell you, that's the biggest takeaway I have

besides 500 hours of survival knowledge that you got to learn with me as I went. But the friendships that I made, Chin, you, the traffic commander is gonna join us in a minute, Dave and Doug and friends, Dale and Lisa, I mean, James, I'll just do honorable mentions of them as we go on for the show today,

but so many really incredible people. And I'm not just talking about like friendships where you just talk to each other online. What I mean most- Yeah, digital friendships. Yeah, digital friendships. Most everybody that, you know, there's a lot of people out of the people that came on my podcast that I am

personal friends with like in person and everything now, which without those 10 years of podcasting, you know, I don't know that those friendships would exist. So Ellen was supposed to come on today. Unfortunately, we both got the flu at the beginning of week. Funny how sisters unite, but that happened. And so she had to work today. Is she not going to be on? Yeah, no, she's not going to be on.

I was so excited to show her. I know. I'll get her. I'll get her. I know. She's like a day off from Australia. Yeah. Hey, I just asked Grok how many, what's the average number of books a self-published

author does? One to three books over their career and some do three to seven. Max. Right. How much do you have on already? I'm working on those now. That's a much more daunting task. One to three average over a career. Right. Well, I can't, you know, I overachieve a little bit. It's kind of one of my flaws as well because I get a little a lot

overdriven. We'll say it that way. Well, you used to say you were you're a writer, you're an author, you're right. All right. You're a podcaster, you talk a lot. I do, I do. My husband was like, don't you have a podcast to do? So yeah, we took Christian to the camp today, to summer camp. So it's his first week away from mom and dad.

And yeah, it's nice. It's rough on a mama. So, already so, Las Vegas years pre-sale. Grab it now. Completely help me out. That'd be awesome. Let's try and like rank this book up. Number one, I picked some great categories for it.

And I know we can get there. I'm already pushing the threshold. And with your guys' help, you know, that was my last really big takeaway from doing 10 years of podcasts. The survival community that has stemmed off of this show, the lives that have been touched, it's irreplaceable, man, irreplaceable.

Chin got me this beautiful little 10 year anniversary gift. Which is, yeah, I'm sucking up to my boss. Yeah. I did get you a Bronco. You did. But um, yeah, thanks man. But you know, the survival community, the people, James and I were actually talking about that earlier, just how what a difference it makes in our worlds Because we can get a little we get a little closed in working on projects a bit And then today we're gonna do a couple giveaways We're gonna give away a copy of Las Vegas years, and I'm gonna give away a t-shirt so stay tuned for that That would be a pop-up in the chat. I don't know how many people are over in element, but pop up in the chat and I'll have some questions and we can go there and check it out and see who wins.

All right. I think I have the technology on properly now. Maybe. Maybe, maybe. Alright. So the other big deal that's going on is Prepper Camp. And, um, I mean, Prepper Camp is awesome. If you go back and listen to some of my shows, you can listen to every single year that I was there at Prepper Camp which is insanity five years ago and I was realizing that as well like there's a lot of fun really fun shows in here

as well. The Goose Egg show where we played Family Feud and Doug just bombed out. I'm not allowed to talk about that with him so but yeah proper camps coming up James is doing a really cool interview session with everybody that's involved in that so you gotta guys gotta check that out tune into it I always wanted to do that so I'm a little jealous but uh I'm glad he took the ball they wrecked kicked his butt I think you got him going why don't you come on and traffic commander come on come on it's your time to shine. He's there. Oh I gotta add him. Yeah he is. Technology I need like somebody to take care of me you know. Hey I'm gonna I'm gonna sweeten the giveaway pot

with a lifetime PBN membership. You decide who gets it. How's that sound? Oh my goodness. You're up in the chat. Lifetime PBN membership. Maybe they gotta buy a Las Vegas to get it or something along those lines.

How about that? You make the call, whatever you wanna do. Just let me know who they are. I love my people. I believe this is literally $2.99 to go pre-order that book. If you can't spend $2.99 on me after I've spent... Oh, for sure. ...you know, that, yeah, I'd rather just,

we just do the giveaway, because that's super awesome, dude. I didn't expect you to do that. Works for me. Hold on. Chin got me all emotional. I forgot to check the mail yesterday. And I went I was like oh crap I gotta check that before we get out in the air. And then I opened up that box with it. Yep. I'm like, turn it, Chin. Oh my God. You're gonna get me all teared up. Oh yeah. That's beautiful, man. That's a wonderful little gift. 10 years in.

It's a tremendous milestone. Backing up to the boss, man. Chin was talking about the authors, but the other thing, and maybe you can look it up to verify Chin, is the podcasters. Yeah, we already, we did that too. I sent that to say that.

Oh you did that with the average podcaster. I mean, there's no way they make it 10 years. It's like three episodes. Six months or something. Yeah, yeah, it's like six months. Yeah. Six months, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, six months. It's like 75% attrition rate too. Oh yeah. Yeah, I've seen it. I mean, we've seen it here at PBS, but yeah, it's amazing. Absolutely incredible. When did Chin come on?

Chin came on, I was actually looking at this because I was going through all my shows when we were on Endless Night. So I think it's like definitely over five years ago. I think you, Jen came on six years ago because I was going back to work. So Jen's been with me six years. Jen, man, you're the best. I was still living in a different state at the time. Yeah. And I was going a desperate state at

I found it, baby. Here's what you can do. You're super smart. You're not doing anything Sunday nights, are you? Yeah. Block those out for me. I know, that's why. There were a lot of big decisions, a lot of sort of make or break decisions

that took PBN in certain directions over the years since 2018. And definitely one of those was, you know, bringing you guys on, bringing Sarah into the Prepper Broadcasting Network, Airwaves, because that, you know, I had no idea that was going to turn into the absolute monolith that is the audio drama on top of, you know, the great show that you guys do every week. And the other big thing that I think you should know about Sarah is that you do the informational podcast in a way that I don't think anybody does it

when it comes to taking the disaster, doing an hour on the disaster and making it entertaining, but also informative. Like I can't do it. I don't have the skillset that you have to, I guess it's your layout. I don't know, but it's the wildfire show that you did probably a month ago, something like that was during the LA fires. I mean, that show was just, that whole show probably a month ago, something like that was during the LA fires. Yeah. I mean, that show was just, that whole show was a clip.

I was putting clips together for like YouTube and stuff. And I was just like, this whole show is a clip, you know, because it's hard for me to stay focused. I get like airheading and, and then other shows are like too focused and it becomes like listicle you know what I mean number one number that you do the you do the you do the legitimate like emergency preparedness podcast the best I think you know just enough banter so that it's not like I gotta go but not and not so much banter that you're like,

what are we talking about? I forget what we're even talking about. I loved it yesterday. I was listening to show number one, season one, show one. And Sarah's like, I'm gonna try a new format. We're gonna do, read a little bit of the book, talk about some kind of skill or knowledge base, and then,

you know, we're going to go into it. And I guess it works 10 years later. That's a good format, Sarah. You had something there. Right. And now we got the new book. I was just thinking like we could, I've got to get through some more of the audio drama stuff. I'm trying to catch back up with videos and everything. So I'm sorting the audio drama world out. But as soon as that is back to where like I'm only doing, working on one show at a time again, instead of multiple areas,

we can do the Las Vegas years and read that book on here would be a lot of fun. Yeah, that'll be sweet. Talk about changing her, changing earth. You better hurry up. It's like the whole West Coast was under tsunami warning. I don't know how long I could think about a pass out lifejacket. Three pointer in New Jersey yesterday.

Yeah, on the edge of the cretan and it hit the North American cretan like sits from Utah, scoops down in Texas and goes up in case people don't know what I'm talking about but right on the edge of the Craton I mean you can do a map look at those mountains go in there and then hit the new Madrid as well right in there this. So not only did you nail the format you nailed the title of this whole series the The Changing Earth. Yeah, yeah, it just happened that way too. I knew it was gonna be a series and I was publishing with Tate Publishing at the time. They were the worst ever.

I've got bookmarks from them. Yeah. Back when I was a fan boy. But it taught me how to like self-publish my own books. I mean, God has a reason for everything. So it was definitely a move to go that direction. But yeah, publishing with tape publishing and now I got totally you guys got me all flustered now. Hey, it's wild, man. Like I said, it's not it's not a common feat. You're standing on two uncommon feats at one time.

That's the crazy part. It'd be wild enough to come on and say I've been podcasting for 10 years. But when you add the whole book publishing and not just book publishing, you know, the series, I could never do a series like that. There's no way I could do it. It's amazing. Our brains must just be different. The next dynasty, the next walking dead type series. Once it gets found by the right person, it's just so timely. So timely right now. But it's just one of those things where so many people have the idea, say they could do it or say they have the first book in the series. Like so few people will take the series as deep as you've

taken it side quests the whole nine yards. Yeah, she's got the two spinoffs, right? Oh, yeah, you've got a you've got a television series with what three movies now Three basically three movies that you could put you know in in between seasons. Yeah directors. What are you waiting for people? Jesus and that's what we're watching right now. Yeah, I mean it's crazy to me It's like there's this gem out there and people are like No, I think we should do a caddy shack seven. That's what we's this gem out there and people are like, no, I think we should do a caddy shack seven. That's what we should. What are they doing now? Naked

gun. Again, not, not even seven. It's caddysack one redone, right? It's, yeah, right. Exactly. We're doing the same movie. Yeah. Yeah. It seems like inevitable to me. You know the landscape has shifted, the world has shifted in a very big way. The world is shifting underneath our feet too. So it seems inevitable, you know, that somebody picks it up and goes, oh my god, I'm so rich now that I met Sarah Hathaway, I can't believe it. You know? I'm going to work it. I'm ready to go. I'm like do you have enough energy to keep up with me? Whoever takes the risk is gonna become a very rich person that's all I can tell. That's gonna be fun. Yeah after disaster when I did that one I Honestly had no idea what the disaster was yet

What started with the idea the just the wine cellar situation or? Yep, I'm go. I'm going down to school State and my family's up in the foothills and And so it was really just a thought exercise on like, what do I do if shit goes down here? And so I had no idea what the real catalyst was gonna be. I've always had this writing angel, it sits on my shoulder and the writing angel goes like, this is where it was going.

And then it just all comes back around on its own. It was really, really incredible stuff. Yeah, and it took me eight years to do that book. Did it really? Yeah. Yeah, I just picked it up. It took you eight years to do the first book? Yep.

And then what? 12, how many more years to do the rest? Three in one year. Yeah. Three in one year! Yeah. Well, I was blessed enough that when I had Christian, we had the ways and means for me to be able to stay home. Oh, so Christian could sleep in Europe. Yeah, I mean, I have so much energy and so much, you know, to give. I started two businesses and I wrote. Man, what a cool, what a cool mind frame to write a survival book from a woman's perspective

to a little bit like postpartum. Right, with the baby. Wow. There's been some eerie coincidences like, for example, when I was writing Dark Days in Denver, and it's the spoiler alert for anybody who doesn't know my series. It's the Yellowstone eruption happens in that book, you know, and the sky goes dark, right? Where it's orange haze. Well, California was having really bad fires at the time. And so it was all orange outside. And then Swenson has Erica on that neck chain.

While my friend was going to school in Costa Rica. And so my martial arts instructor was just drilling us with chokeholds all the time. And he's handing us to the ground like you're, it's for real, right? To the point where it was like oh my gosh my throat hurts so bad I need ice water I need this I need that it was just mimicking like exactly what I was writing in my book I was like okay

that's creepy. I mean that's the way to do it right? Yeah. First-hand experience. Yeah I was like this is the worst and then also when I was writing Battle for the South, the Huston hurricane happens, right? And that was three months before Ian hit Houston. And I wrote that part of my book three months before it happened. and the same hospital that they used to triage people in Ian was the one that I had picked to write into my book because I would look at topographical maps and everything I was like that's true yeah it's like I say the writing angels like this is the story that you need to bring forth. And so I just always listen. I'm gonna try to help people. I'll tell you what, I mean, we want the best for you and we want to see it go as far as it can go,

but what you've done, you know, never discount what you've done with the books and with the audio drama. I mean, you created the universe, You know what I mean? The universe is there. And that's, like I said, I know a lot of people in life, writers, preppers, that have a great idea and one day they're gonna bring it to life and it never happens. You know, it's a very rare person that brings it all together with that many books.

You know, as I, when I accomplish a goal, I always have another one on the list and I hardly take the time to go, wow, right? You know, when I accomplish a goal, I always have another one on the list. And I hardly take the time to go, wow, right? Like, wow, right? You should definitely wow a little. I was posting the audio drama. No, I had to go back in my records because I didn't even realize it was my 10 year anniversary.

But I had to go back. I was trying to figure out how long. That's the sign of a worker right there. Right. I was trying to figure out how long I knew Doug Hogan. Right? So I was like, okay, I'll just go back to my podcast because the first time I met him was him coming on my show.

Sure. Then I was like, oh my gosh, I'm coming up on my 10 year anniversary, July 24th. I published my first show. This is great. Yeah. And just about 500 shows. I don't know how my count got so off. So we're going to go through some of the books.

Um, some of the episodes you could stick around if you want James and walk through it with us, you're more than welcome. Um, that'd be great, but let's stick to a little bit of a format so we get some learning done as well. There we go. There's how it's done. Reigning them back in. I mean, like I said. Start out with day after disaster. Like I said, at this point, I really didn't know that it was going to be the Great Quake Catalyst. I had always filled my head up with a lot of prophecy, though. So that's probably where it came from. Oh, yeah. You were the person that told me about the Hopi,, raining lightning prophecy that never left my head ever.

It'll never leave my head. Yeah. That's wild. Yeah. So, and they all converge on like the same thing. So, but during this period, I was reaching out to people trying to get an interview somewhere, right? I've got this book, I got this podcast, I'm trying to get an interview somewhere, right? I've got this book. I've got this podcast. I'm trying to get an interview.

James Talmadge Stevens. He was known as Dr. Prepper. I remember Dr. Prepper, I think. Prepper. Yup. He passed away. His survival book was actually like his college thesis that he put together for it. Yeah, and He gave me that moment, you know that hey come on the show Let's talk about what's going on instead of all another fiction author that kind of thing and

His big shtick was eat what you saw. No, it was eat what you store, store what you eat. Great advice. Right? How many of us go out and buy shit we're never going to eat? Yeah, I did in the beginning, for sure. Exactly. And now it's like, OK, we're only buying the things we actually eat so we can rotate them. And so to get that piece of information like that early on was really, really beneficial, I'd say, as far as like honing into like functional preparedness.

One of my friends, he grew up in a prepper household, and his father cared more about stocking food than putting his kids through college. So there's extremes, right? Yeah, yeah. Wow. This is kind of like the reality knock like, hey, you might have that stuff for 20 years and never actually eat it. Yeah. Yeah, rotation is important too, you know, that's a big one. That's a big one. That's a big one. The other big thing in storing what you eat is making sure you can cook the raw ingredients that you're storing. Working with it. Exactly. The rice and the beans.

That's awesome that way. That dehydrated, how to cook all the dehydrated stuff. Yeah. That's a good one too. Probably good to have a little practice with that before the end of times. Right, and you just got all these powders. The other thing though that he talked a lot about that doesn't really get mentioned

kind of in our preparedness landscape now is it's your societal obligation to prepare. It's your responsibility to, you know, be a part of your community and not being a burden on your community if you needed help. Yeah. I think that's part of a mature, like the more mature you get into preparing,

the more you start to come around to that mindset. Yes. You know, when you first come out, you're reading all these novels about this, that, and the other, and you know, the lone wolf and all this crap. But the more you get into it, the more you realize if you can get the community involved,

it's less of a burden and less arrows pointing your direction if anything were to happen, right? So if you can invest the time upfront before something happens, there other people are also engaged in in the recovery or whatever. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't disagree with that. Also, you know, because my game plan was like, Oh, I'm taking my kids to the woods. Yeah, we're all there at one point. Yeah, terrible idea. Yeah. Right.

I was like, the backpack, have it sitting in the closet. You're ready to go. Oh, yeah. Boom. Uh-huh. Ready to roll. So origin manual. Yeah, exactly. What's on the menu tonight? The other one that was really cool, just because I had some

really bad stomach issues. And like 2018, my gallbladder went bad. But they told me, you know, it was basically because of a lack of medication. They had me on all these medications. And I was like, no, man, that's just making me feel horrible. And so I got into herbal healing a lot. And Kat Ellis came on my show. She was one of the original- Oh, she was the best.

Right? And I don't know what happened to her. I know she wanted to go to like law school so that she could go in and really start making a difference. She cared enough that she was like, I'm done sitting on the sidelines. So I'm not gonna be podcasting anymore. I need to jump and actually, you know,

be making, be having a voice. And I know she went after her law degree so that she can help change the world which is great so Yeah her her not her whole archive But her shows are archived at prepper broadcasting.com if you go search the herbal prepper Yeah, okay. I don't know how many I have up there. It's probably close to 10 All right, search the herbal prepper. Yeah yeah you can listen there. I didn't know that. Yeah she's incredible and it really gave me the um uh like mom has high blood

pressure. Okay well what can we plant so that if your medicine was suddenly gone we can figure this out you know that's important. Yeah So many people are on pharmaceuticals. Well food and medicine is a great starting point, I'll tell you that much. Yeah. That's not a bad way to get in at all. Yeah, that's where we're starting out, like the awesome shows. So that was yeah, the Eat What You Store, A Store What You Eat, and then the Survival Medicine.

Honorable mentions, my good buddy Skip Buck was on, we did a lot of physical fitness, honorable mentions. My good buddy Skip Buck was on. We did a lot of physical fitness whatnot. He's just an awesome man. James Hart, he did a lot of my like desert survival, lots of wilderness survival material. Dr. Bones, of course, that's when I first met Dr. Bones. Don't drink the water. Don't drink the water. Don't drink the water.

I met him in person and he had always wanted to be a villain in a book series. So I was like, I can make your dream come true, buddy. And now Dr. Bones actually plays Dr. Bones on audiogram. Yeah. When Swenson picks him up, that was like the best scene. Right. Yeah.

And that would be him. Dr. Bones did, I think he did the first, at least in the prepper world, and we were probably ahead of everybody anyway, but he did a show with Nurse Amy in December of 2019 the first, at least in the prepper world, and we were probably ahead of everybody anyway, but he did a show with Nurse Amy in December of 2019 that we reposted on PBN, and it was something, something, and strange pneumonias in China. And it was COVID. I mean, it was what he was talking about. We didn't know it as that yet, but him and nurse Amy talked about it.

They were talking about COVID. They just didn't, you know, I mean, they were talking about it as like, what is this thing? What could it be? There's definitely something going on. Well, and it was such a crazy show to look back on. We got really, really sick.

Second off, I don't know if you really did. Yeah. In December? Cause it was before we moved. I can't remember exactly because I was sick enough, I went into the doctor's office. Because it was before we moved. I can't remember exactly because I was really sick. We were trying to move to Texas and everything. Bad enough to go into the doctor and the doctor was just like, yeah, you got a cold.

There's nothing we're going to be able to do for it. And then boom, boom, boom, COVID's here and it was like, fuck. Yeah, it was kind of crazy. We had something run through our house in November of that year, but I don't think it was COVID because we got it. We, we got it for sure. Because I remember it all hit us in a different way, but it was weird. It was a weird one.

Definitely. Definitely your run of the mill. Uh, definitely not generated in a lab or man-made It gets everybody definitely has nothing to do with genetics. Yeah, exactly Yeah, but that was good Um, Dale and lisa are good when you know survival Now you're doing like a hall of fame of prepper podcast now. Yeah. So, go ahead, Jen. Oh no, I was just saying yeah, Dale and Lisa, they were she got a didn't she get a gig for Neosporin? She's like the host for that now, the

get a gig for Neosporin? She's like the host for that now. The the uh for Neosporin. It's a running joke because Lisa hates Neosporin. She's watching it and she's all about the silverzorb and I gotta tell you, this is funny that you brought that up. My mom, the my mom picked up the cat. The cat is claws the out of her arm. She's squirting blood on my soap. Oh my gosh. So yeah.

So I'm like, this is a cat bite. Maybe she'll go to the hospital. No, no, I'll be fine. Blah, blah, blah. She's like ripped open. I'm like, okay, you know, whatever. We'll figure it out. We put the silver stuff on there.

I just buy the generic one because I'm you know an author so um You could watch it pulling the puss out of her arm like it's legit. Yeah That's really good stuff. So there's something to be said for it. Yeah. Yeah, Lisa and her new spore and she's like, oh you Sorry Neil They won't be sponsoring the changing earth. I got Neal's boring. She's like, don't use that stuff. Sorry, Neal's boring. Oh, they won't be sponsoring the changing earth, I guess. Definitely not. Uh-oh, we lost our chip. Oh no, it fell out.

It fell out. The mesh node broke. The repeater broke. The repeater's off. That's what I was like. If he was on a radio, like in here right now, he's trying to hop out to Texas so he can hop the Texas and be able to connect with me on one of those things you mean via repeater yeah or like put up a weather

I know damn sure getting close he sends me little diagrams every day almost about where where you see in signals. Where he's reaching? Yeah. Okay, so we get no without land and this is where I'm gonna do a giveaway. So if anybody's out there in the chat, I guess I should be on element too, huh? I'm gonna pull up element just in case.

I think he's back. All right, there he is. So. I got a cut out. He said something sensitive. You're sworn didn't like my comments. Oh, yeah. We thought your mesh past the nose failed. We were. That stuff's amazing. Oh, no, we don't swirl Chen on this kind of thing. your own link. Oh no, we don't squirrel chin on this kind of thing. That's a no. Funny conversation. The wife and I were squirrel for a second. The wife and I were taking a dog out for a walk today as she started talking about vitamins and all this stuff that I said, just put it on the table and I'll take it. And then she goes, yeah, it's like when you start

talking radios, I'm like, yeah, just put the walkie talkie on the channel and go. It's like I tell her what channel, you know, just just set it and and set it and forget it. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. I've been nagging. Come on. Hey. Alrighty. So, in between one and two is the Las Vegas years. In between book one and two is the Las Vegas years. In between book one and two. I don't know if I can show it.

Even says 1.5 now on this one. Right? Cause it's text. Great idea. During that time that I was out, I went and ordered the book, Sarah. So everybody listening, if the co-host can order the book, they can get on the stick and order the book.

I'll be ordering mine for sure. That's great. Pre-order, you guys, help me out. But how many years are in between book one and two? And if you can tell me the answer, then I'll give you a- Trivia question. I like it. Yeah.

Yeah. I like it. That's the- so whoever pops up, I think I can see am I can I see the chat James? Am I doing things correctly? Oh Like in the stream yard chat. Yeah, it's in that comment section. Yeah Everybody's quiet what are you guys doing out there? You're quiet. It is very quiet Sunday plenty of people watching over on X. Yeah, come on guys.

It's weird that our usual suspects on YouTube aren't here. Yeah, I picked a bad night. What do they know that we don't know? Right? What are you doing, man? You know what I'm doing? I'm waiting for Jesus. He'll tell me when it's right.

There you go. All right, so with that plan, my favorite one, my mind blower during podcasting season two was having Doug on. This was the first year for Doug, so I've known him nine years. And he- When you met Tristan.

You know what I'm talking about? He was a pastor when I asked him to do that. Oh my goodness. Jesus. Yeah. I know. Um so he though came on the podcast and absolutely blew my mind with everything that the

government already has in place to control happenings. If they just say, oh it's a national disaster, boom they can control the air, they can control you, lodging, food, water, oil, everything you could possibly think of. It was all taken control slowly by slowly with executive orders. And then I believe it was Obama that went, well, we'll just make these all into one. So that when we just say it, boom, now we got everything. His class on that at proper camp is a don't miss class.

It is. We have it on Changing Earth. We did a Surviving Martial Law on Changing Earth because he got right now and Haleen. And with where we were at, with what was going on right about then, we thought it very important. Making notes.

Martial law, yeah. And he told me I need to be a little bit more compliant. We'll see about that. Yeah. Yeah. Because if people come to your house, the fed rolls or whatever, and they don't come back and check in. That's where the next force is coming to. So he made a good point. I don't know if it's within my nature though. So we'll give it a try. It's like Erica and the whole thing. Yeah, so Erica being put in the sweat box,

that's no like, you didn't draw from self experience there, did you? You gotta be a little more compliant Sarah. You won't end up get a sweat box. That's no like you didn't draw from self experience there, did you? You gotta be a little more compliant there. You won't end up in a sweat box. Well, yeah, that's what it sounds like. Oh,

I'm never getting arrested with you. We're going to get too much. This is the sweet angel. No, now she's in the real life sweat box. Now, down there in Texas. I live in Texas. Tell them about it. Man. And the other one that really, really blew my mind during

season two. Oh, guys. I should caveat all this with you can access if you go to change your series.com. You have to subscribe and become a member. You don't have to pay me if you don't want to, but I do appreciate it if you do, because that's a lot of years of podcasting. But you become a subscriber and you get access to the membership information and then I have all the books listed out with all the shows that go with them.

So you can literally listen to the whole book series and get the survival lesson that goes with it. So that's where I'm pulling all of this, the shows from. And you can find them randomly around on my website as well, but that's the easiest way to find like what content, what is through that area. So I interviewed this guy and his name is Craig Holfus. Hol-fus.

Sorry, I don't pronounce it very well. But he did higher brain or living for survival. And I tell you what, he had me read materials that just blew my mind as far as human evolution and how we never evolve to the next step without a disaster. But like you'd like to think that eventually we would be wise enough to be able to go to that point without destroying each other

or having this huge disaster before human civilization advances to the next level. It's like the dark age and stuff like that, right? He had me read this book called The Watchman's Rattle, which I would highly recommend if you are into any kind of advancing your brain to the next level, because it just goes through like a lot

of how the prefrontal cortex comes up with ideas. And like, for example, a fire break, how they know how to backburn stuff now, right? So they'll start a fire in front of the big fire so they can backburn it to the fire. And then the fire doesn't have anywhere to go to anymore. No more fuel, yeah. So the guy who thought of that

was literally being surrounded by a fire. He had one spot he could stand in. So he lit everything in front of him on fire to burn to the fire to save his life. And it was just that pre-fire. Could you imagine being there with that match in your hand? I think this is gonna work. I grouped one way or the other.

We might as well give it a try. Yeah. And then he was like, I'm just gonna burn it to the fire and it worked. And now it's a process that we use to help contain wildfires and whatnot. So really, really crazy, cool stuff from this guy that I learned from him. And his quote that I love, and I really needed to hear this. The past does not exist so you're forgiven. Life gives you a fresh moment to start over with every day but if you're reacting to the past you will destroy yourself. You will distract

yourself from the present moment. Oh, definitely. You got time to start over every single morning. So, there's no use in bringing the past with you except to learn from quality experiences, you know? So that was, that was, right? And that was a pretty good one. Honorable mention big time in season two would be Abe Lloyd. He's wild foraging. And I did quite a few video interviews with him. Incredible wild forager. And I highly recommend that if you don't know the wild things

in your area, that you find someone who does find out. Like I literally chase these people down. There was a guy removing a bee hive from our neighbor's house and he's like come over here and I'm like uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh you have a piece of it. He's like yeah come over here. So I go over he gave me all this honeycomb and everything but he started telling me about all the native plants that are around like dude I'll pay you to teach me right he's like oh just start to raise bees I'm like no but that's a place good people to learn from I just highly

recommend that you you know figure out what is around you eat so before you absolutely need it and the key with the foraging is the moment you figure out what it is and you're 100% sure, pull it out of the ground, bring it in the house, wash it off, eat the parts that are edible, prepare the parts that are preparable, because in my experience, my personal experience, the biggest thing that held me back and the biggest thing that I think holds people back in forging is they become real good at identifying things. And that's where it stopped. You know, like, oh, that's a thistle over there and that's willow over there and that, you know,

and then when it comes time to do stuff with it, yeah, you're at that too many firsts sort of position, right? So yeah, grab it, pull it, bring it in, play with it. Too many firsts. I remember somebody else saying the comment about too many firsts. We did cat tails one day, you know, that we actually did. That's a good one, yeah. How's that? Because everybody talks about it. And then acorn bars, I've got recipes on that. Acorns are great and they're all across the country. There's so many things.

You can grind it into and toast it and grind it and toast it and grind it and toast it and drink it in water and it gives you a jump just like coffee does. Man, I've never made acorn coffee before. Yep, you put a little caramel in there. That's why I got to try. Yeah, it's good stuff, man. Okay, Walls of Freedom.

So Walls of Freedom is one of my favorite books that I wrote. It has a lot of wilderness survival at the beginning. You know, it's like half wilderness survival, half farm urban type survival. And I just really, it caused me to grow in ways because I had to create the whole new society and everything. So it caused me to really grow my, my author skills and the new grounds beyond being able to do the wild foraging with it, which I love. Wild

for or the wild wildlife survival. See, he just wants to be on the show, James. Okay. The bird. Chin rolled out again. I know. He does that. He does that. Yeah. He's popping back in. Okay. So two of my favorites from Walls. Oh, you know what? I should hold up a second. What chin find out? Did you actually do the homework assignment? Let's see if I can.

I went with a couple a couple shows. It wasn't the whole so but it was literally book what that anybody that starts their book series off with the main character stuck in a wine cellar has my attention going forward. So I thought that was brilliant. The whole thing wake up in a panic smelling wine in the darkness and she has to figure out how to get out of the wine cellar. You had me. That was one of my favorite moments. That's the original book. My book doesn't start that way anymore. What? No, I might have to rethink my contract now. No,

I re edited Day After Disaster once. So is that being gone altogether? It just in a different spot? No, it's just in a different spot. So how much is my book worth now since I have like the OG? Right. Oh man, yeah, original copies. Yeah. That were done through tape will probably be worth something because it's not long. So yeah, but yeah, it doesn't, it starts, uh, she wakes up at Henry and Carol's now and then tells the story. Yeah. I do it as a flashback because producers look at your first 50 pages and mine.

I love the whole thing. She was going through like the coat closet was down there. She's going through all the purses and rummaging through everything to figure out what she had and what she, this is the best. Very MacGyver ask, right? Yeah. Oh no. She would have reminded me of is like early a video game, early stage. Oh yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like you just started the video game. Yeah. I got a four edge. I got to see. Walk over and touch that rock and see what's under. Yeah,

right. Exactly. Yeah. That's what reminded me of it was a great intro. What is actually uh thinking about designing uh video games. He's been working out for a while. So, yeah. Oh, you know, there's something you should check out. I'm so glad

you I'm so glad you brought that up. There's something, I won't talk about it, but there's something out there called NES Maker. Oh, huh. You ever seen it? Yeah. That would be a cool way to do it. I have like a previous version of one that they did on PlayStation that was RPG Maker. Yeah, yeah. PlayStation that was yeah RPG maker and my wrist and had to sit sit around for a

while so you can make a you can make a cartridge now like a legit Nintendo game changing her sweet it's all right you got to talk to Fletcher. As if you don't have enough to do. Yeah. Yeah.

You know. Just draw a video game in there. What the hell. For that. Books, podcasts, audio books, and everything else. All right. Top two from Walls is the foot care for long hiking and bug out.

So people focus on their bag, their bag, their bag, and like, first of all, can you carry that bag? All right, like, can you legitimately carry that bag for any amount of distance? And not just the end of the driveway and back. Right. Some of these tests that James and the guys are doing where they're actually hiking through the woods. It's insane, but it proves a lot listening to you guys.

It's like, mm-mm-mm. Right? Oh, yeah. If we had to conduct an operation after that last 12-mile hike at 2 a.m., like if we had something important to do, we didn't need it in that. and Yeah, cross two states scale 100 foot mountain, you know, then go in and do the operation and come on machines We weren't even carrying guns or ammunition think about that no guns no ammo nobody armor nothing But okay feet So your feet are your wheels.

You don't have feet. You ain't going nowhere, okay? And you can't have rotten feet and you can't have toes that are messed up. And you've got to know how to take care of your feet. You've got to have your boots broken in. You can't just have like, oh, these are my bug out boots.

Okay. Yeah. have like, Oh, these are my bug out boots. So yeah, so that one was important, really, really important to me on and maintaining your weapons. So Ben Brennan, awesome, dude. Modern Self Protection podcast. Super guy, another guy I've met in person. Um sold me my AR. Very down to earth. Um just super guy all around and he played, did some audio drama work as well. He was Nicholton at the start. Um done a lot of shows together and

he's just taught me a ton about firearms. So, any of those ones are great to go back and listen to. That man is like crazy crazy good when it comes to weaponry. So honorable mentions uh season three I have an interview for my father-in-law who's now passed away. No. Yeah. for my father-in-law who's now passed away. No. No, dear. Halfway, yeah. And he was a vet. So he did an interview with me on prepping for your pooch. And those are the memories we make doing this kind of stuff

after being here for a decade. And the legacy that we get to leave behind for our children as well. I know if something happened to me, they have over 500 hours of me talking about different stuff. So that is a special thing about podcasting. So he's up with Jesus waiting for us.

I can't wait to see him again. He's a fantastic man and a really great guy. The other one is Dave Shistokas. And it was, he's a constitutional lawyer. And definitely a little bit, you know, outside of my realm of knowledge. So I definitely wanted to pick his brain. And we did a lot of shows on like,

is the constitution still relevant? And what are the dangers of having a two party system? And these are things that we don't really, sit and look back on retrospectively. So great topics, great things, great things to go over there. Okay, battle for the South. Battle for the South, this is season four of the Changing

Earth podcast. I mean, I had the hardest time picking out of this lineup. This. Okay, we're talking Ellen's on the show doing boat survival. We got Doug back out and doing all kinds of cool navigational things that are kind of outside of the realm of women's survival, female survival. Doug, you know, talking about different perspectives, you know, as a police officer and things like that, that, you know, women need to think about as survival. Samuel Culper, who is Mike.

Oh yeah. Yeah, what's uh come on shane what word for the observer yeah yeah from ford observer right so um twice survivor jane um dr bones is back on there. James Rezone, we did an interview on interrogation. And he is an actual interrogator who is over in the Middle East and stuff. I mean, phenomenal for where I was taking my characters and whatnot.

Brian Duff, Nicole Appelliant. Nicole, yeah. Yeah, Nicole Appelliant on and she's just fantastic, fantastic, John Green. Nobody will know John Green because I couldn't share his real name. But he is from Homeland Security, very high up in Homeland Security, and some great interviews there. Doug Huffman, not Hogan, Doug Huffman owns Sierra Survival, and he did a lot of my close quarters combat training with me, urban evasion stuff. He is, was phenomenal to train with um i don't think i've said that word

enough about all these incredible people so like if you want just a season where you're just gonna be downloaded with some seriously awesome survival information this is it. Favorite shows of mine from the season since I had to pick two, I set that goal for myself, was getting and staying self-defense ready with Dan Lobos. He was my martial arts instructor for 20 years now. That's fair to say. He is one of I mean, the man tells me to jump. I would say how high I trust him with my life.

And he's just an incredible individual who does so much to use his time to better other people's lives. So incredibly stellar man. And this interview that I did with him is a lot of the foundation of my self-defense class. So it's not just about moves, it's about nutrition in your body.

Because if your body ain't ready to defend itself, it doesn't matter what you know. You're gonna roll around like a roly poly oly, right? I mean, that's it. So, yeah. So it doesn't matter how much knowledge you have if you don't have your body in decent shape to be able to execute those things and carry that bag.

Do that hike, you know? And if you think it's easy, go ahead and try one jujitsu class. Uh-huh. At the end of that jujitsu class or a sparring class, Brock and I started doing crab now too, crab and drop. I say it very wrong because I'm from Michigan, but we started doing that as well just because I wanted to learn. I get to be a white belt again. I'm a beginner, so that's fun and you know, good exercise and whatnot. So still training MMA, still expanding the horizons. And it's just

really important to do so. Stay ready. Get ready. Stay ready. Keep your bone structure up. And yeah, you're going to have to do that like four times a week at least. So typically I wake up and train in the morning and at night during the week. So, which is why I have to, or else I lose my brain. How do I grow? All right, the other one we were getting to, cause you said carrying ammo on the hike, right? Sure. James Yeager.

God bless him, he's in heaven as well now, before I got a chance to go meet him and give him hell. Cause I was looking forward to that one. I love poking the bear. Really, really amazing, incredible guy as well. No nonsense, dude. But he made me read his book, Private Defense Contracting by James Yanger before I did the interview with him. And I tell you what I am so glad I did because his lists in that book are for like what you need if you're going over to do an operation right and you're going to survive maybe a week or whatever out god knows where all your gear that you need everything that you need to carry.

So if you're looking for like, what's my military loadout look like? How much more, right? How much more gear do I have to carry? Yeah. How much is the other stuff worth it to me if I need to carry these bullets? Oh, yeah.? Because. Yeah, well that's when the bug out, like the pack everything bug out bag goes out the window. You know what I mean? Because it just becomes unfeasible. Right. And where are you going to move? How are you going to move with that thing on? Yeah. I'll get the ammo. They pick up this huge duffel bag, supposedly full of guns and ammo. Like dude, the handles would rip straight off that thing. Like I know. You wouldn't get over the shoulder, no problem. Or no, I like the guys that carry it

like in their right hand the whole time. Yeah, oh, I got it, I got it. I'm like, dude, no, you wouldn't. My bag is like this bag full of ammo. I'm like, yeah, rip. Yeah, exactly. Well, it's crazy. And then you'd have to have the guns on your back. You're not going to have them in the bag with them.

Your guns begin all strash anyway. So that's that's my take on it. So that's why those are my two. All right. So let's see. We got we got some other people in the chat. Has anybody guessed how many years are in between book one and two? I guess it's a tall order. You guys heard of red change on earth, man?

This is an easy question. Easy. For me. All right. All right. What? Right? I gotta figure it out. I had to timeline that sucker. Tell Firewolf Forge to take a guess.

Okay so the next... What? Just take a guess. Firewolf Forge in chat. In the YouTube chat over there. Yeah. Yeah Firewolf Forge just start guessing numbers. Is a freebie involved dude.

Yeah. You got, you can, you can, youwall Forge. Just start guessing numbers. Is a freebie involved, dude? Yeah, you can win a copy of my new book, The Las Vegas Years Up. You said three years. Well, no, longer than that. I'm going to hop off, Sarah.

I appreciate you having me on. Commander. Thank you, appreciate it. Congratulations, tremendous. The two of you have been tremendous for years. And Sarah, I know you're the woman of many projects, but definitely take the time to enjoy what you've created and accomplished because it's above average.

We know the averages. We know the metrics we know we know the metrics, you know And that's you All right, Jen good to talk to you too my man fire wolf. Thanks for popping in. I'll see you guys All right fire wolf you're close you're very very close now you're just knocking at the door Whoops, sorry You're very, very close now. You're just knocking at the door. Whoops. Sorry. Number seven. Knocking at the door. Let's see if we can get it. I'm going to go on to the next question. So, what or who changed the whole direction of my novel series.

There's somebody that changed the direction on my whole novel series, who was that? I think Firewolf, in four days. Yeah, now you're over, now you're over. Four days, four days, nope. And you can go even year, I rounded it off. But now you're past again. That's funny.

Think middle ground. So when I started doing Dark Days in Denver, my focus turned very much to human trafficking. And so if you can tell me, you're pretty darn close now. One less. I'll look you up. And who in their right mind would think

human trafficking would be a modern day issue? I mean, it still blows my mind that that's a thing. That's why I was blown out of the water. Oh, I put nine. You're right. Nine years. Yep. You can... Oh, I didn't. If you go over to ChangeInnerCircise.com and hit the contact button, you can just shoot me an email and that way we can connect. I'll grab your address and send you out a book. You are

the winner of the Las Vegas years but please go pre-order as well. It really helps me out. Okay let's get through some of these. some more. We're lagging. So yeah, the human trafficking really hit me hard. And knowing that human trafficking hit me hard, if you can guess, oh, Firewolf is gonna get hooked up. Cause if you can guess who influenced me to change the direction on my book series, then you'll get a free t-shirt as well. And it'll be easy for me to send out both to one space. Skip came on

the show. We did a show on stop human trafficking. That's why TJ was created so I could really highlight the horrors of human traffic. And also bring my readers into the central region so we can look at them, that's going on there, what the repercussions are of that going to our country. of that going to our country. So the, one of the interview that I did with Skip was also a great interview, also the basis of my sexual, anti-sexual harassment class. Oh, if you get one, you'll have to get the rest.

Well, you can order signed copies from me over there. While you're there. Get hooked up. Get hooked up. have to get the rest while you can order signed copies from me over there while you're there. Get hooked up. They're not the new covers but I still have a few sets of my old covers on sale over there. You'd have a new cover that you just won and then old covers but I'm getting ready to take those to Prepper Camp and put them on the clearance rack so they are a great deal over there, but it is the old covers.

If you want the new ones, you can order them there as well. Okay, number two on that list was prepping for addicts. I don't know that enough of us really think about like, oh, that person drinks beer all the time. That person smokes cigarettes. That person, cocaine habits, heroin, pills, pharmaceuticals, right? There's so many addictions people have and we need to think about that when we are planning for preparedness. Dan Lobos actually did that interview with me as well.

Great guy, of course, but it's a really good one. And like I said, that bowl, I was blown away. I was like, I'm going back to listen to my own shows. This is really good stuff. Honorable mentions, I was, that was a wild moment for me to look through there and be like, whoa. Phil Nels, he had Raven bladesmithing. Phil Nels, he had Raven bladesmithing. He was on. Dr. Fraser Schilling from Berkeley was on regarding coastal, the ocean level increase. Michael Poland from the Yellowstone Observatory was on.

And Michael Loftus did, came on and did his anti-kidnapping class with me. He is really a big basis for my anti-kidnapping class. That man is amazing. He was like a boxer in the Bronx who was like sick of watching women get, you know, assaulted and whatnot, and just started teaching women to defend themselves. Really honorable task, put it together really well. Great job. Phil Rabelais, that guy was on there. And Rick, you know, Austin was on there. So Endless Night, that's when Chen joins the show.

Woo, thank you, Chen. Endless Nights. All right, Endless Nights. And Fernando Aguirre is one of my highlights from that. Oh, yeah. We did some amazing stuff on that season as well. But Fernando, he came out and talked about the collapse of Argentina and was like, if you don't think it could happen

in the United States, think again. You listen to that man's story, it's incredible. So that one I would definitely check out. And we had Hakeem on. Hakeem Isler was that. And he did psychological warfare, his psychological warfare class, which is really cool.

He has a cool set of like personality traits that you can use to kind of like figure out people. And these are really good tips to know if you're going to be a leader. Chiefmaster my martial arts instructor took me all through these types of things when I started teaching martial arts so that you can understand people's personality types and teach to each style of how they're learning. Really nice stuff.

James Yeager and the Flood Show, isn't that cute? My favorite, that was my second favorite. Yeah. Have we got past your first one yet or you hold on? You still hold on? No, my first one was the very first show, Getting Stuck in the Water. So that was... I don't know that my favorites are productive prepping tips, but they're my favorite shows.

And James telling you no But what if no Stop bleed with my buddy Tim Johnson. He's now a big time paramedic. He does a lot of still teaching, stop bleed classes and stuff like that. Kevin Reeder, remember we had him on for the womb. That was interesting. And Doug Benbredembeck and Nicole again,

great community and a lot of community shows and self-reflection shows in that season, which is always good stuff. Hope on the Horizon was 2020. So that is our COVID mark. And believe it or not, my favorite show from Hope on the Horizon is Communist Takeover. And because I was curious, like, how did Germany

fall into what they fell into before World War II? What's that really look like? And so we ended up finding way better information than we wanted to. Wasn't that the one that I was afraid of training the wrong listeners? Oh, no, that was How to Become a Tyrant. I think that was it. Oh, yeah, okay.

Yeah, I was like, oh man of like all of the different communist goals that have already been accomplished, which is just crazy. Healing from psychological abuse is the other one that I picked out on that one, because it pretty much summed up all of 2020, we were all psychologically abused. And our country still has a lot of healing to do. The healing and love, those are the only things that are really gonna stop war. And so we have to heal, and we have to hope

that other people will feel as enlightened to do so. Or else we're not going to be in a good place. Erica and the world at this point were in a very strange parallel with her like overcoming this. So that was pretty interesting. Honorable mentions here. Doug did his national emergency freedom show, which was incredible. James Walton, the intrepid commander, was on.

He did his Second Amendment show. We did that long distance hiking show. That was really, really good. Chock-a-Block, full of great info for the long. And then, How to Cope with Psychological Torture, that one was pretty good The bitter end is the last book. I only podcasted 14 episodes of that one

Because I gave away all my books if you want to check them out. You can get them all for free I mean all you're doing is support me by actually buying them, which is great, but I want you to have the information All you're doing is support me by actually buying them, which is great. But I want you to have the information anyway. So I gave away all my books and I wasn't gonna give away the end of the series. So that is one that you have to actually go by if you wanna experience the end of the series.

And I was scared to write this book because I was afraid of not giving the series the justice that it deserved at the end. And it's a big book because I just kept writing till it felt done. And so I'm pretty proud of that one. And so that's what we did. Prepper Camp 2021 was a show in there pretty fun on the Australia lockdown and the tracking. Guys, you want, like what was happening here was crazy. What was happening in Australia was insanity. So that's from the mouth of our resident Australian, right?

Yeah. Boots on the ground for that one. Yeah, and that was crazy Um, then we did Burgess and it's full of some amazing It was a lot of like summarizing a lot of knowledge that we've been really putting together during these 10 years And deep dives into topics that we felt like we didn't really explore enough Once again, I love the beginning of that one. Flying in the airplane was like, I love that because you pulled it together.

It was fine. That was a little bit. Yeah, that they're in the air while the earthquakes go on and on. Yeah. And everything. Yeah. And then I had to put that when I did my video.

I put that in the video. Did I? No, that's during season one. I didn't put that when I did my video. I put that in a video. Did I? No, that's during season one. I didn't put that one in a video, I lied. It's amazing how fast that technology made it possible for me to do what I do. It was like, it's not available to do that, and now it is. So it was pretty neat.

We did the show on choosing your hard though and I really loved that show. It's like you know what exercising is hard. Not exercising is hard on your body and you're going to face a lot of circles, you know, prepping is hard, not prepping is hard. So, choose your heart. What do you want to, you know, what do you want to be facing? And then maintaining calm and different difficult conversations. That's something I'm still... I have to go listen to that one again. Yeah. Yeah. Over and over again. Yes. It was...

Whew! It's been a week. Great tips there, though. And then honorable mentions, we had Rick. That was the Rick Austin. That was the 10-year Prepper Camping anniversary last year. So that was a pretty special milestone for them.

Carrie Hansen came on and shared with us what she was doing with her podcast, which are some amazing mom survival stories. You're going through like difficult times and you don't think there's anybody else out there experiencing these things. She has some crazy podcasts, yeah. Yeah, some,

a butch came on, you know, we got a whole purse of vitals, lots of great stuff. And then Dave Jones, Phil, Ellen, the whole crew. Um, then live shows. So if you go into my website and you go to the podcast, the live show links are shows that really don't have a season because we were just floating around in between books. And there's some amazing shows in there. There's some really funny shows in there as well too. Yeah, some great goodies. They're all listed there. So you don't have to like search around for them.

They're all there. The Prepper Camp live cast are there. So you don't have to like search around for them. They're all there. The Prepper Camp live cast are there. A lot of planetary news and like the show that James was talking about, like, you know, Nightmares Forever, that one's there. But my two favorite out of that are actually the two most recent that we did. Last month's Surviving Catastrophic Flooding. That was a great show. There's a lot of information in there.

And we all need to be prepared because it's getting crazy and it's worldwide and it's crazy soft. And then, um, the wildfire safety tips. Yeah. That, that is, we were both coming from experiencing that like you in California meet we had North Carolina South Carolina, but so it's like we were both talking from our hearts on those shows. Right. And I was in a lane man. Oh, there. That's fun. I'm so glad my home state could could expose you to that. Yeah. Yeah. Experience. Yeah, that was good. All right. So there you guys go. Ten year recap. Changing Earth. We're gonna do a little changing Earth news, but we better get after it because we're we're getting low on or getting

long on time and I don't want to keep your guys' ears forever. I know y'all got stuff to do. time and I don't want to keep your guys' ears forever. I know y'all got stuff to do. Let's jump into some changing earth news because we have some biggies going on. Let me just get my tech all fired up over here. Dream. Survive. Thrive. This is changing earth news. This is changing Earth news. All right, so we are looking back to July 6th for changing Earth news. Tropical storm Chantelle hit South Carolina. Five people dead from the flooding.

So I know you're always like, oh, it's always flooding over there. I thought it was kind of worth mentioning because five people, 60 mile an hour winds. So it wasn't that bad. The hurricane season has been creeping in slow, but that's the same thing it did last year. And I'm telling you, if they're forecasting a hurricane

over North Carolina again, I'm gonna make a Carolina again, I'm just saying. That was a little squeaky. Typhoon Dennis hit in Taiwan, China and the Philippines. There was a total of 34 lives lost in that event, 22 injuries, eight people missing from that billions of dollars in damage in the Philippines. And the Philippines have really been getting hammered. I don't know about being out on that island right now. They also had crop damage to things like rice, vegetable crops, that type of thing. We had a couple of tropical storms, but Mount Luatobi Lakilaki in Indonesia, I know I probably

say it wrong, but that's not a shame. We were playing a drinking game right now. If we were playing a drinking game right now. Luatobi Lakilaki. It's been erupted big time. It was actually like big time. When I look at the volcano numbers, you don't usually see like major eruption. There's only been two times. And I think it was last month that was the other it might have been the month before that, but they've

both been very recent. As far as major eruption going and it is Lua Toby, lucky, lucky, um went up like 19,000 meters of the ashfall into the air. So that's making some big noise over there. Uh what else we got? We had some tornadoes touchdown, but we're talking light tornadoes um 10th, 11th, some

droughts going on, but it hasn't been too bad and honestly, I know it's hotter than Hades in Texas, but it's been cooler than a lot of our other summers have been. So I know. We've had heat warnings. Yeah. All like the last few weeks up here. We sent it all to you guys this year. Oh, thanks. But no. You guys are like at the same temperature as us almost. So You guys are like at the same temperature as us almost. So that's supposed to continue through August. You guys are supposed to cool down for like a week and then it's gonna crank back up a little bit.

July 14th flash flooding in New Jersey, two lives lost there from the flooding, possible crop damage to corn that's growing up there. The volcano in Ireland erupted on the 16th. It is a name that I cannot even try to pronounce, but it's not the one that begins with an R. I can't remember what it is, rhetoric, rhetoric, something like that. It's one that begins with an R. I can't remember what it is. Rhetoric, something like that.

It's one that begins with an S. Sunda, something of that nature. But I cannot read their language even close. The volcanoes have all been very, very, very active. Lots of noise going on.

Which puts a high alert up for West Coast. I hate to do that. But it is just eerie out there right now. Tornadoes, 18th to the 19th, we're talking winds, big winds in Ohio, Nebraska. Everything had kind of calmed down in Texas. We're getting like some thunderstorms and things like that. It was cool out in California. We haven't seen big wildfires knock on wood, praise the Lord and ask that he please continue that. The 22nd to the 24th was the Limassol Valley fire

and Cypress, two Valley fire in Cyprus. Two people died in that one. 10,000 hectares burned. So that's a big fire going on. That's over in Europe area in Turkey, I believe. And it's likely olive oils, vineyards, things like that that are gonna be affected by that. Greece had a big fire from a helicopter crash.

Oh, they're doing Life After People again. Do you ever watch that show? I took notes on that show to write my books. Love that show to death. And they're doing new episodes on it. And one was about when people just go away in New York then like there's like 9,000 helicopters flying over New York New York airspace at any given time so if they were just instantly gone that all those helicopters

would be crashing down that was pretty cool. Oh no this is the fire in Turkey the Sayatagazi fire. 10 firefighters lost their lives unfortunately in that one. It was out in rural areas, but still 10 people died, the firefighters, 14 injuries. We're looking at possible crop losses from that incident. CME came in on July 24th. And ironically enough, that was not a huge CME that came in. But right after that is when we had the hurricane that kicked up, Hurricane Iona in the Pacific reached

category three didn't hit land though, but you've watched these things empower themselves when the solar energy come off. And we had the 5.0 in Japan, and then we had like 75 mile an hour winds in South Dakota. And we had the 8.8 earthquake in Kamchatka. That is obviously the biggest event that we've had go on. I watched a few different people on earthquake coverage. When the earthquake first happened, they reported it USGS and pretty much everybody else was reporting it as like a 7.8, an eight pointer. The buoys did light up

with motion. So like there was a active event taking place but then USGS actually went back and started upgrading the yeah of that. I've ever seen the numbers bump up. Yeah, they bumped up and usually they bump out and like the rest of Europe and everybody was reporting it as like a 7.8. So I don't know. I don't I mean, I don't have a clue what they're thinking over there. And then it you know, it's making news is like the biggest earthquake and that was a lot of them upgrading it. So interesting how the narrative gets pulled around there.

Nonetheless, there was one indirect death from that incident, 23 injuries. And then in Kamchatka, again, we saw the lava flows. There was a couple of droughts that are going on in Turkey, Great Britain, It's just, you know, that time of year for us. CME kicked off on July 30th. It was a three, Kp3 to four. No big impact from that one as well, but we did see a hurricane kick up the next day. It went up to 75 miles an hour, but didn't get a rating and didn't make landfall.

So we're good with that. So we're just trying to cruise in through July, right? We hit August 1st and we had a 4.8 in Japan, another 4.8 in Japan, 4.7 in Japan, 5.6 in Russia, 5.6 in Russia, 5.0 in Russia, 5.6 in Russia, 5.0 in Russia, 5.4 in Russia. So obviously this activity is not over. Great Sitkin, so this is our country up in Alaska. They're seeing lava flows and whatnot from that mountain. And then Kilauea erupts in Hawaii. This is all going down on August 1st, like July was just really quiet and then boom.

Then the second, we're looking at a 4.6 in Japan, a 4.4, 4.6, 4.9. You know, all above 4.0s are pretty good earthquakes and we just have a chalk block. 4.8, 4.5, 4.7, 5.6 in Russia, 5.6 in Russia, 5.0 in Russia. I mean I was like what is going on? So I can't wait for the end of August to see what the earthquake numbers actually come to because this is really crazy. This is a lot. crazy. This is a lot. Um then sicko starts erupting again.

Kilauea is still erupting. Um another 4.6 comes through. I mean Japan and Russia are just still rattling and the west coast, you know, we got a couple of four pointers on the west coast yesterday. Um so that energy has to go somewhere

when it spins around the ring of fire. You don't want it to build. Then we get really bad stuff. 5.5 in Japan and then 5.0 again in Russia, a 6.0 yesterday, actually this morning in Russia. And then we had the one on the East coast and the one on the new Madrid. So we have a lot of really big earthquake activity kind of going on right now, which is a little bit spooky. But obviously that, even though it's not an 8.8, you know, I don't believe it in my heart that it really was.

I think we would have seen a much bigger tsunami from it if it was. I don't know why they would do it as a news cycle, but whatever, you know, that's not my call. Volcanoes actively erupting on our planet. We have one major eruption going on. We have 40 volcanoes erupting. Remember back in the day when I was like, wow, 29. That's a lot. We haven't seen that. Now we're up to 40. We've been sticking at 40.

Month after month. Eruption warning on 41 volcanoes under that and volcanic unrest on 24 under that. So we actually added two more. We're at 104 last month. We're now up to 106. This will cool our planet. I mean, you don't have to worry about global warming if all of these freaking volcanoes keep going. They can cool our planet. One volcano can be more than we've done in a hundred years. So it's legitimate.

I hope we're ready to build the greenhouses. We're gonna have to figure out how to grow a lot of food really fast. As far as earthquakes go, we had 18,881 that were 2.0 or bigger last in June. We had 20,530 in July, so we did see an uptake. But I, like I said, I'm really gonna be interested to see what the August numbers look like.

Wildfire levels, we're doing pretty good. And we're doing pretty good around the world. I mean, there was that big fire in Turkey, but like last year, South America was burning up and stuff. It's been looking pretty good as far as it goes. I'm always looking at fires that are like bigger than 10,000 hectares. I want the big fires, right?

That'd be about 20,000 acres. We're picking it, pushing into a big fire range. The fire preparedness level for the United States is at a three. I would still caution everybody, I don't care where you are in the United States. We had a lot of material come down last year. We had some warm temperatures like you said, Jan, all weird places this year.

So we need to be wildfire ready. But in total in the United States there are five new fires, a total of 29 active fires, 306,000 acres on fire. Five of those fires are contained. Number one state on the list is Utah coming in with two fires. 66,087 acres. No new fires, none contained though. Arizona is number two on the list. They have five active fires. 62,199 acres. No new fires. None of So, um we'll just keep praying that they continue that through the year because they really don't need another wildfire year. I can tell you the insurance marketplace is a mess there. If you ever wanna talk about ridiculous,

how ridiculous bureaucracy eventually backs you into a corner, I'm your gal because Sanity and a lot of layoffs have been happening in Northern California because of the AI takeover so They're getting hit. I It's kind of like watching Armageddon happen from afar having a peek into the window of what's happening there in that state.

And it's not good, it's not good stuff. So we'll just hope they figure it out. You know, I'm glad I got out and I'm praying for everybody that's there. All right, guys. Well, I've been winded out. Let's see, let me check over to our comments one more time. See who's around in chat rooms. Firewolf hit me up. I'm going to give you that book. Did any of you-

We'll get the gold star for participation. The show he does. He told. Yeah, because I was going to do a couple of giveaways, but Sunday nights. Rough, you know. I guess I could do anybody listening to the replay of this show. Or if Firewolf can figure it out, but I'm not going to give you this one. If you can figure out who changed the direction of my series, or day after disaster,

and it has to do with human trafficking, that's your big hint, then you'll get a free t-shirt, and you will get a lifetime membership to be to Prepper Broadcasting Network. I'll give them both away at once. Go ahead and email me. That's probably best.

So just head on over to changing earth series that comments changing Earth series that comments up there on your screen and go to the contact.
