Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening here to PBN. Jay Ferg, here we are, the countdown to midnight. Prepper camp 2025. How are you feeling? Good. I'm actually already tired. I know. I don't know that we'll even make it to midnight or not, but we'll get close enough. We have the countdown down below, folks. So two hours, 51 minutes left to get
Starting point is 00:00:55 your Prepper Camp tickets before they go up in price. So if you've been hanging on to that, you've been hanging on to that desire, now's the time to make it happen. So, you know what? And I think we're going to say this a lot tonight. A lot is do not let the Trump slump be the reason why you're not making the move. It's great. I think if, if anything, this should be the time and the encouragement to go ahead and get going because we don't know what we're going to be looking at
Starting point is 00:01:27 In the next year the next few months we have what was that? I said in a week It feels like right we we don't but we don't know who's going to be in office next term either and it's like Anything can happen between now and tomorrow Yeah, why be blindsided? We've been blindsided in the past. We've seen America blindsided in the past by things, particularly with Donald Trump in office, which is the most interesting part about the whole Trump slump, right?
Starting point is 00:01:56 It's like, we've, I've seen this show before. I remember this one. Then COVID popped out of nowhere and we had that funhouse for a while to deal with. But we'll see. We shall see, right? Yeah, just because moves are being made to improve things doesn't mean it's going to fix it overnight. I mean there's nothing that's going to be the end all be all or the absolute fix it with one person. Yeah. I think that's a good way to look at it.
Starting point is 00:02:28 We're going to have a you on the Prepper Camp speaker series, Jordan, one of these days, so we can talk about your class and everything. I can't wait. It's one of, I think it's one of the most important ones at Prepper Camp personally. Me too. But then again, I'm a little biased. Yeah, but it's so Yeah, that's not true I don't think mine's one of the most important but I do think mine It's not to be conceited. I think mine is up there on people
Starting point is 00:02:57 Don't give it enough attention to understanding The capabilities or what's gonna be needed as far as their capabilities in that in that area. It's definitely a dark horse for sure. It is. Yeah. But what what's so crazy about it is when you go to the class, you really do feel like it and it's in one class, at least from my experience, it was in one class that I felt like, oh, I could do that. And I don't know if I went to other classes like that where I felt that way to be honest Yeah, I actually have had a gentleman come to my class Every year for the last several years that I've been teaching and he says it never gets duller
Starting point is 00:03:40 He goes if anything I see you up in the bar a little bit cuz I you know It's time change things change with information. And he said, he goes, your class is just as enthralling and, and, and pulls you in as, and as it was the very first year he took it. So it always makes me feel good. And then people who goes, I just took this class as a filler and I left with four pages of notes so If you get offended either way because it's like, you know it it's a happy accident
Starting point is 00:04:12 You know gotta go with Bob Ross on that one It was a happy accident that they took the class and then it turned out even better so it's definitely one of the few that you go to and it feels like start to finish. A lot of classes I go to, and there's still great classes, but a lot of classes I go to, I feel like, well, I got a lot of work to do when I get home to figure this out. You know what I mean? And yours, when I left your class, was like, if I had those things that she had, I think
Starting point is 00:04:41 we could probably do some fiber work at home. And that's to me, that's like the feeling you want when you leave a prepper camp class is like, I could go home and do that, you know, to me. Yeah. I love it. I love it. And the fact that everybody of all ages takes the class. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:02 What'd you think about the, uh, cordAlene situation when you saw that madness go down? The fire the firefighters getting called in and shot. Did you pay attention to that at all? I've seen it. I haven't had a chance to really sit down and watch it. But from my understanding, it really isn't much different than some of the Scenarios were running in the continuity. I know it's so weird Isn't it very similar to a scenario that we ran two Mondays ago? Yeah Yeah, it's really weird that would that was really similar in the instance of using certain tragedies or instances to draw out more for additional casualties. And it was just...
Starting point is 00:05:47 Exactly what came to mind. Yeah, the world is an absolute sick place. And again, another reason we should be prepping. Another reason we should be doing more. Oh, sure. For sure. Yeah, to me, it felt like a feeling out like it was like let's see what we could do if we if we threw together a little bit of a distracto with the
Starting point is 00:06:14 firefighters and a forest fire and an ambush. How much chaos could we... I'm not convinced, see they say they say they they found one killer and he had a gun next to him. Yeah I'm not convinced see they say they say they though they found one killer and he had a gun next to him Yeah, I'm not convinced that there was just one seems weird, right With the layout. I mean as many times as we've seen other instances where people are being attacked and it's three You know same body toll but three or four shooters. So I don't I don't know I thought it was two I Thought originally it was two Originally when I heard it they said it was two gunmen
Starting point is 00:06:53 So the fact that now it's just one makes me wonder did someone cop out and do a plea deal for for some info Right. Yeah, I mean it's It's weird. The face of domestic terrorism is weird now, you know. It's varied. It's not always tan, you know what I mean? You're not always like, oh it's a guy from the Middle East. I think we're going to see more of that. I think we're going to see some Caucasian converts that do some Islamic terrorism in the very near future to be honest. Yeah, well, I think a big issue we're going to see is I'm not by any means cutting down mental illness in any way, but we have become an age where mental illness is the precipice or the pinnacle point of personalities and it's an identity.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Now I'm not Right. I'm not demeaning people who have general mental health issues and they're Doing everything that needs to be taken care of. I mean like the extreme crazies and the fact that we've glorified it What what good is what what's gonna happen when you have all these people who are so mentally? Unstable and it's like oh, it's OK. That's just your personality. And then all of a sudden, they're shooting up. Well, don't worry. You told them it was OK.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Yeah, right. Because they were just listening to the voices in their head. And it's just their personality. Yeah, it is a weird thing. I heard an interesting podcast from one who's talking about the effects of like over-therapizing. Like going to therapy too much and like ripping open old wounds every week for your lifetime. Well, there is a point where communicating will help.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Getting certain things off your chest. Yeah Will help but the issue Is it cutting out on me or I? Don't know it looks okay Okay on my end it started spinning. So that's what I wanted to make sure but what what we're seeing is there hits a point when you overly open a wound That's already healed itself. And I'm not saying that people don't need help,
Starting point is 00:09:08 but there hits a point where human nature is to cope in a certain level. If I were to go back and go through my past trauma, however you wanna say it as a child, I'd really be messed up because your body has a natural way of protecting and defending itself on certain levels Oh, yeah, there's no reason to push You not all these good things don't always come from it, right?
Starting point is 00:09:35 You don't want to be driving down that path over and over again Sometimes you know those pants Right. Well, that's the whole thing is trauma is pain. Okay. Pain is trauma, but there hits a point where as people, as humans, when we grow, when we develop, yes, there are things we have to work to get past, but what we're doing is we're healing. We're healing those wounds.
Starting point is 00:09:59 And yes, the pain may never fully go away, but we learn to live and adjust to a way that we can manage that pain that it's not on the forefront cutting us every time it's there. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's that's part of the problem. And also, like you said, it being fashionable, it is, you know, fundamentally fashionable to be on the spectrum and to be, you know, to have a thing like, Oh, it might think this. I'm sure there's quite a few people who are in probably even in our own group. And we're just quirky, but I mean, Oh, definitely. Right. We've learned to adjust and socialize and went through the pains of being teenagers and awkward teens and weird adults. I'm weird and I am perfectly fine with it.
Starting point is 00:10:47 But it is, yeah, it has gotten to be too popular to be something. It's kind of, I hate to say it. Do you remember in high school when the jelly bands were so popular? Oh yeah. Well, then what else happened during that trend of all of a sudden, it was cool to be a cutter. I wasn't a cutter, but I could name probably six girls who were cutters or all of a sudden I get teenage years are difficult.
Starting point is 00:11:15 But then all of a sudden everybody's bisexual. And I was like, oh, I know like six girls in my group who all of a sudden came out of being bisexual and wearing all these very tight clothes. I'm like and it felt like it was a fad because Half those women once they became adults aren't even who they identified in high school And it's like I felt like it was a fad more than it was their actual individual identity Definitely we were worse the jelly bracelets became their identity Dude, yeah, we knew girls have ever used just had like this is like their whole arm was in those damn thing. Yes Yes, of course, you know the safety pins we were all wearing safety pins, but I'm like you take those off. Oh Breezy is in the audience. Actually they didn't they would actually wear them until they dry rotted off
Starting point is 00:12:09 Yeah Super dingy and start falling off. No, I had like one or two bracelets But I don't like keeping things on my my wrist So I always doubled them sideways so I could take them off because I never understood the whole fad of yeah all the way up Wow off because I never understood the whole fad of, yeah, all the way up. Wow. It was a fun time. It was definitely a fun time at Hot Topic in 19, no, 2002, 2002, 2003.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Yeah. Before Hot Topic became, um, whatever it is now, right? Yeah. I don't know what it is. It feels like, like, um, almost like a, not, a not a darker side of Hollister with its tones. Yeah, I could go there. That makes sense. I could find that for sure. Yeah, that was a fun time. Yeah, I was like, when did when did goth become preppy and emo? Whatever sells, it keeps the doors open. You know what I mean? I I had the trip pants with the chains
Starting point is 00:13:07 I had the trip plaid skirts with the suspenders But you know what I was that kid even even then um, I Wore what I wanted. I dressed the way I wanted one One day it was Gothic, another day it was country, another day I just didn't give a damn. It's kind of like today in adulthood, prepping. Shoot, we can tie it to that even is, I prep the way I feel is best for my family. I'm not following some-
Starting point is 00:13:34 It's so unfortunate. And right, because right now I'm seeing a huge uptick, especially on TikTok of people selling cases of MREs, having lives and selling them. And I'm just like, y'all, how anyone who is military, anyone who wasn't military and has had MREs, you know, for a fact, MREs are not sustainable for an extensively long period of time. And what it's going gonna do to your gut health and everything else That's in it. It's like right, right There's a reason they have the gum in there or they used to the gum was a had a laxative in it
Starting point is 00:14:18 They would bind you up That's why you kept the gum and so you could chew the gum after a while to help you Because the sugar and stuff in it helps you move everything out. Elsewise you'll bind up. Yeah during rational ruin we did some MRE eating and I'll tell you as good as it was because we weren't eating much else there's about 10 other ways you can put up food that will last longer other ways you can put up food that will last longer than an MRE and be better than an MRE you know. Hey Breezy I just realized that you said Breezy here it's good to see you. Oh yeah it's Breezy. Breezy can man the salvage Valley homesteads pretty fun on YouTube it's yeah chicken TV. I'm working on that. I know I love those things. What are those things with the mohawks?
Starting point is 00:15:06 I'm not those are actually Polish chickens. Oh They're just Polish and then they'll end up fluffing all the way out and have this like large crown or fluffy cap But you know what? I won't look at gift horse in a mouse the a mouth Kristen so Dell's Avery is on Facebook in a mouse, the mouse, Kristen. So Dell's Avery is on Facebook. She I met her in Ohio. And she actually gave me several sets of eggs come down with and then she's the one who mailed me the additional eggs and I have seven more chicks I've hatched from her. And you know what I'm appreciative for every chicken that I have because trying to get your flock to grow, you kind of need a little diversity and it's going to be interesting to see
Starting point is 00:15:45 which breeds handle in what way versus me sticking to the same four breeds I've known all my life. I'm that guy. I'm either sticking to the breeds I know or going for the breeds that are available in the moment when I want chickens that are laying. So I have a Buckeye, which is a heritage breed and I'm excited to see how it does. I'm hoping it's a hen but if it's a rooster I'll be okay. I love my Rhode Island Reds but I actually don't have any Reds. I have Brahma, Easter egg mixers, another Polish. I even have a Silky in the mix. So we'll see. Yeah you bring up a great point though Jay Ferg about, and this would, our audience
Starting point is 00:16:28 would appreciate and understand this about prepping the way that you want to and engaging in the things that are important to you and your family and not just doing things that even you or I say to the podcast audience, you know, that is so crucial. And you know, that is one of those huge benefits of Prepper Camp, because you have 60 class to go to. So you could definitely find what you want. My goal this year is to actually take more classes, because in the past,
Starting point is 00:16:56 I've gotten so tied up in my classes that I'm teaching. Yeah. That I get are trying to be at the booth. But now it's like, OK, I'm excited with some of the people people some of the hosts here or speakers who are coming that i'm like, okay I am definitely taking this class So i'm like sitting there waiting until crunch time to find out who's are in what block to see if I can go to the class Yeah, that's christmas when that schedule comes out. That's like christmas. You know what I mean? And we get the schedule and go, oh, where's my class? And where's Dave?
Starting point is 00:17:26 Where's Jordan? Where's everybody at? Yeah, that's a fun time. It's usually about a week before. Breezy says the Canadian MREs are even worse. Boom. Yeah, there you go. Canadian bacon in a tube or something like that in a can,
Starting point is 00:17:44 right? You know, I would say American MREs aren't terrible. They just they're rough on you. Well, you to anyone who had a normal American food, then yes, I imagine it is terrible. But if you're hungry, food's food. But I want to get some of the ones you were showing me that you had on your live that are soy free because I'm not against having a few on hand. I think they're great for disasters. I think they're great for emergencies.
Starting point is 00:18:15 There have been plenty of times that I've camped and set up and I didn't have time to get my tent up and an MRE was a quick, easy fix. Look at this big boy out of the Lima Tango bag. That's a fat daddy MRE. That is nice. I was looking for the essential provisions. Yeah, I need to get some of those. I know the other ones, some of the other MRE styles,
Starting point is 00:18:40 there's a Nat, sorry, are like adult lunchables with how they're made now Whoa I don't that meat and my son stopped eating lunchables. He really liked them for a little while But he stopped eating them. I'm so happy because that meat the lead. I don't know what that is. Did you see the lead? No, I how much oh my god, they're recently right before we moved they had done testing and the Lunchables keep a dangerous amount of lead in every single one of them and it's like we've been eating that and feeding that to our kids and it's like the pizza ones and the
Starting point is 00:19:18 Bologna ones had like the highest lead content in it Pizza that one's so bad Yeah, but that was I the one we went to. I can never get behind that one. Oh, I just did the cheese pizza, not the pepperoni one. Yeah, I couldn't. It was, pizza was such a big thing growing up in our neighborhood that it was like, you get that weird, sad, cold pizza that wasn't cooked.
Starting point is 00:19:39 So, we're not pizza people though. Even like into adulthood, I'm not a big pizza person like we have to like Absolutely be in the mood till we even want pizza So breezy says we are so happy when we got to eat American ones at Fort Lewis Hey better than nothing like Jordan said Yeah, you know that that is one of those things too in the prepping world nowadays that Has kind of grown into this movement all you know all on its own which is you know Well, I guess to the homesteading side of prepping now
Starting point is 00:20:15 but it's you know, what food is in what food is coming into your home and you know what to your point what is the balance that You want to make in all of that like Dave Jones always gets on and talks about you know 80% fit I think he said like 50% of his food is grown right now, which is awesome But I think it's important, you know for each individual to figure out like what do I want to buy from the supermarket? Do I want to buy anything from the supermarket in what do I want to grow and raise at home? You know because it's yeah Our goal is to have chickens. I would like a secondary protein source I'm looking at rabbits. I do want to eventually have some sheep just because of the fiber end of it
Starting point is 00:21:03 But you can eat sheep. It's delicious. I would be okay with the turkey. But I do want to have some secondary protein option here. Elsewise, the garden's not producing much this year. But my goal is to have almost a full production garden, so then I can actively can and put away and preserve and oh yeah that's because I would I'd like to get away from as much store-bought as possible just with the number of recalls that I'm watching whether it be water bottles uh well there was something else there
Starting point is 00:21:40 was some sort of fruit produce that was recalled recently and there was some other like canned food that was recalled recently as well There's they do a lot of recalls. There's a lot of recalls now There's a lot and a lot of them are E. Coli and salmonella and flesh-eating bacteria and it's like what the hell man You boys want to play to flesh-eating bacteria for lunch Sounds good. Yeah, that's that. Well, that, you know, that's the motivation. That's why I got like pasta with a side of amoeba.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Oh, yeah, that's terrifying. Oh, two hours, 30 minutes left. PBN family, Twitter, X, whoever you are, rumble YouTube, everyone out there, you got two hours 30 minutes left to get your tickets 25% off once it's midnight the ticket prices go up for prepper camp 2025 so head over there prepper camp comm While absolutely and get your tickets and then you can come say hi to us and hang out with us. Yeah, man Oh and don't think we won't hang out like we don't sneak away to some secret tour bus or something
Starting point is 00:22:50 No rock stars will be right there with you Will be right there with you for sure. Oh perfect timing Huh, it was a hundred and forty three K 143 thousand pounds of pre-packaged baloney was recalled. Oh, well what the hell even is baloney, right? Everything. Oh, there you go. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:23:16 You want to pull them in? Yeah. Let's bring the godfather in himself. Rick Austin, how are you, my man? We're off and running here. We've got the two hours, 29 minutes left. How are you this evening? and The sweat and the goat fur in the whole nine yards, right? And that's so much goat fur rabbit for maybe, but yeah. We were just trying to figure out what the hell baloney was. Cause we're talking about sort of the growing your own food and it's
Starting point is 00:23:53 emulsified. It's emulsified meat. What they do is they, what they do is they take it, they put it in a big vat and then they boil it and it becomes just this particle stuff that they stick together and dry out and that's bologna. Dang. And it's all the best parts too. Yeah, I like some of the best parts though.
Starting point is 00:24:18 I'm very partial to Scrapple. I love me some Scrapple man. But yeah, bologna, that's one that always... I that's one that always oh, you don't like Scrapple Not even crispy like I have never tried it. I'm not going to Salvage Valley Homestead says hi Rick Hey, you're doing love them great The breezy is reading the good stuff Yeah, you can't beat that one. You can't bubble all of them really. Yeah
Starting point is 00:24:47 Yeah, I actually keep my My secret garden one like right here and every now and then go back through it to see how I could change things Yeah, mine's behind me somewhere there right on that bottom shelf. Yeah, they're great man. They're great We were we were talking about Yeah, they're great, man. They're great. We were talking about how the prepping movement has sort of, and you were a big part of it, Rick, has taken in that sort of homesteading food production sort of angle. And now people, I think, who are in health are starting to look at that as a legitimate option know Maybe less organic produce purchasing from stores as the answer and more growing it at home Sort of stuff
Starting point is 00:25:31 Because that seems to be the way people are thinking these days, which is good, you know, yeah. Well It was it was funny when uh When we had doomsday preppers here um one of the producers was talking about how his fiancee's wife was a bunch of his fiance's parents were a bunch of granola eating upstate New York hippies. And he just said that, you know, they would love what you do. You know, you kind of span the gap between you do. You know, you kind of span the gap between prepared, disminded people and the, you know, the old hippies. So yeah, yeah. I mean, it's something to be said for growing your own food without GMOs and all the other crap that they put in it. If you understood how meat is raised
Starting point is 00:26:19 and what they're putting in this food, it's not good. And I heard the other day that they're actually putting they're actually putting the vaccine into some of our processed foods. I heard that I heard that about produce and stuff, too. And I heard that the future of produce production is going to be vaccination for the plants themselves. You know what I mean? To protect from diseases. It's how they're getting it in us. I didn't consent to that. I didn't give my consent to
Starting point is 00:26:54 the vaccination, to that meaning in my body. And they're already finally coming out with the stuff that what it's doing to the heart and everything else with the blood vessels. It's like, okay, why are you still pushing this? It's called population control. Right. That's true. It's called Agenda 2030. It's called getting rid of 95% of the population so that the elites can just have a few slaves to do what they need to do. AI and robots will do the rest. and High number. Yeah, that was a nerve of a scare I had early on. Yeah, I put it to you that that was that was planned.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Do you guys ever see the the the TV movie series Utopia? Utopia, no, I know. I've heard it, but I haven't watched it yet. There's the there's a British version, which is actually pretty good. And then there's a US version with John Cusack. And John Cusack is a multi-billionaire pharmacy guy who invented these drugs and he's all green and he rides his bicycle to work.
Starting point is 00:28:22 And he's, he's like the epitome of looking out for the planet. And he creates a quote unquote pandemic that requires a vaccine that the FDA, that the public is screaming for. It's all staged. And come to find out the vaccine makes everybody sterile. So if you took the vaccine, you aren't going to have, you aren't going to reproduce. Wow.
Starting point is 00:28:54 That sounds like something that happened in the past. I can't really put my finger on it. Right? Sounds very familiar. What's up, Larry Denny? I guess we'll see you at Prepper Camp 2025, man. Yeah, I can't wait. Oh, we've got Christine from East Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Tennessee in the chat room. Farm chick. I'm assuming you and Larry will both be at Prepper Camp 2025, right? If you haven't got your tickets yet, Christine and Larry got two hours until the price goes up. So but yeah, can't wait to see you for sure. Can't wait to see a ton of areas. Kind of the hero at Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:29:31 He, he led a whole caravan back from Prepper camp and they had to go the long way to get back because they had to get around. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. So, uh, they, I think it was, I don't know if it was a 10-hour or 12-hour trip for them to go But it was it was and he kept people together and they found places for people to refuel and
Starting point is 00:29:56 It was a pretty amazing for all the people that were from Tennessee that had to go back Yeah, there was some amazing stuff you guys pulled some amazing stuff together, man. Last year, for sure. There's no doubt about it. I think I think it really showed the resourcefulness of camp itself as Prepper Camp as a whole, as well as the individuals who go to it. Because I could tell you twice that two people who didn't even know us poured gas into our gas tank from their gas cans because we were on E when we drove in and they
Starting point is 00:30:29 made sure we had more than enough that we didn't have to stop till we got well past a good hour and a half to two hours out before we had to actually stop which worked out perfectly for us because then we found gas stations that were actually working. It definitely is a testament to the folks who are there, not even just the speakers, but to the people who were there, you know, like Jasmine, all that she did. It's that weird Prepper Camp people thing that you have to really come to the event to see, you know what I mean? You get around the, it draws in a certain kind of person. And it's just, it's really weird when you get there and you start to take
Starting point is 00:31:09 notice of the type of people that are there. It's one of those things. And nobody panicked. It was just, it was, people were concerned, but everybody was calm. I actually knew we were going to be fine. Growing up in the Ozarks being on top of the mountain, I would have rather been there than somewhere else, to be honest with you. High ground's the best anyways.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Christine says she was home holding down the fort since there was no roads to get there, but good thing is she'll be able to be there this year. Yeah, and you know, like from my experience with Prepper Camp, we usually get some, not necessarily that kind of a torrential nightmare, but we usually get some rough weather and then it leads the next year into a beautiful year. Yeah. Right. We have one year where it's rainy, then the next year it's
Starting point is 00:31:55 sweltering hot and then. The year before was the best, I think the year, 2023, I guess it was right. 2023 was phenomenal. Uh, 2019 was hotter than Hades. I think the year 2023 I guess it was right 2023 was phenomenal 2019 was hotter than Hades 2022 was a downpour and then yeah, 2023 was But was it 2019 No, 2019. Yeah, it was hot. It was my first year. I went was 2019 and was hot as all get out
Starting point is 00:32:24 It's a big ass storm that year, too. I think Yeah, I stayed at your guys camp that year and then the following year I stayed with Dave Jones, that's right Yeah that I got to get some t-shirts about I Bunked with the NBC guy t-shirts. I think that yeah I mean to have our full crew back. Oh, it's gonna be so good. It's gonna be so good. Yeah, definitely We lost you for a second there Rick everything all good. Oh We got no audio on you oh Oh that because I'm I muted it. There it is. Oh, we're in now now. We got you back cool
Starting point is 00:33:16 yeah, the it's gonna be a good showing for PBN for sure the The l Douglas Hogan he's teaching right we got Oh, he's not We got Ryan Buford, well, he'll going to this year. We got Ryan Buford. Well, he'll probably be there though. I bet Ryan Buford will be teaching. He'll be there. You and I, Dave Jones, who else is going to be there? I don't know if the matter of fact, guys are coming.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Sarah, of course. I always freeze. I guess you're put on the super shows too, man. Her classes are so good. She'll have you out there judo throwing people. We'll get a Dane D out there. Dane. I mean, I ain't heard from Dane in a while.
Starting point is 00:33:56 So, uh, Breezy wants to do a prep or snow camp in Northern Alberta, Rick. I hope that's a joke, Breezy, cause that'd be a tough. Yeah, I, I couldn't do it. Yeah. Rick. I hope that's a joke, Breezy, because that'd be a tough ask for me to get in. Yeah, I couldn't do it. Yeah. I had a guy today ask me if I would be interested in doing a prepper camp in the UK. So he's got 32 acres of land there. Wow.
Starting point is 00:34:18 I'm like, don't even talk to me about this right now. They wouldn't even let you in the country, Rick. Probably not. There's no way this guy's coming. the they're saying is. Oh yeah, that would be it. Or they'd have like a big busload of Muslims pull up and then we'd have to shut the whole thing down. Yeah. I don't think we'd be able to get our firearms into this country. Right, I was going to say, they would all be armed with forks.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Yeah. No, that's a good point. You can't even have knives in the UK, right? No. Well. It really is a test. I mean, you watch the world turn and you watch things get more and more dire and you just appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Ever love in Second Amendment so much more when you watch it happen, you know, you watch Europe going under and it's like, God, we'd be in the same boat. Without the countries. Oh, I feel for other countries with their limitations, because it's like, how do you live not knowing that if somebody attacks you there's not really much you can do. Isn't that crazy? I mean that's just so crazy. Point and click. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Yeah. I knew a guy who had who had, you know, a rifle. But it was registered to him and his wife could not use it even if she was being attacked or he was being attacked. And it had to be in a safe locked up in the attic. I mean, it's so nobody can use it if they're being attacked. Right, right. You know what the closest to the UK is is probably like New York and California with their gun laws. Well, the tool man told me Canada was no picnic.
Starting point is 00:36:11 He said that you could, the police could come to your house anytime in Canada to check to see if your guns are locked up properly and unloaded. Australia is not much better either. You can only get it if you can get it approved as a hunting rifle And you have to use it actually have to show use that it's being used for the hunting source from my understanding We got big news from salvage Valley Homestead That's a big deal Breeze nice got a certain license today up there in Canada. Well, we're glad to hear that breezy Got a certain license today up there in Canada. Well, we're glad to hear that breezy
Starting point is 00:36:50 One of your listeners told that told you to tell the missus. Hello. Oh Christine Christine. Yeah Yeah, man, it's a beautiful thing that's like what do we have Second Amendment wise We got uh, is red eye red eye reloading gonna be there again. Yeah, he's gonna be there. Yeah, that's a good one. That's a great one for Firearms owners to do. We got a lot of tactical stuff. Oh, well that's good. We got no defense.
Starting point is 00:37:15 We've got Kerry Elzner that's gonna do a CQB type thing. And he's also gonna do, I can't remember the name of the class or what the name is, but basically it's bailing out under fire. Um, Oh, out of the vehicle. Yeah. I did.
Starting point is 00:37:30 I wanted to take that one last year. Yeah. That was the last year too. We're always supposed to be last year. Right. I, are you going to still have the butchering with James? The James with the butcher. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:43 James is doing butchering. Yep. Yeah. That's a great one, man Yeah, that's that's such an underrated skill man knowing how to take an animal apart turn it into dinner That's one of the things I'm glad I learned purchased, you know Yeah, actually we had purchased three half hogs so that we would have one for each day for James's class and the plan was to butcher the meat and into the various different cuts. Uh-oh. Oh,
Starting point is 00:38:20 Hey, don't be so quiet over there on X man. There's 40 people watching over on X you're allowed to comment I guess we get the X comments, right? Have you ever got a comment? We do Yes, I get them when people actually want to speak every now and then I have to screw up to make sure it's not I think he froze up pretty I think he'll probably come go off and come back Like you did earlier But yeah, if you're over there, oh, there we go. Oh my man the common sense practical. Hi
Starting point is 00:38:52 Thanks, dude. Now I know for a fact that that thing works over there That's good to know The common sense practical. Yeah, you may be hearing a little more about the common sense practical prepper on PBN Yeah, we'll leave it at that for now, huh? But yeah Awesome. Awesome showing on all sides here. I wonder what's going on a rumble I haven't logged in over there to see who's hanging out over there. But well their comments would come up on here, too Though and that's right. Yeah, that's right, right. Right and it's not showing it. I'm trying to pull up, I know we got the email or from for Prepper Camp I was going to pull up the list
Starting point is 00:39:32 of some of the just some of the classes so we could. Oh yeah we might as well that's a good call. Yeah and that's what I was going to do is pull up the email because this last email had a list of some of the classes. Yeah, why not? What you see in, I know we've got a really great canon class from the canning diva that should be an awesome one. That's going to be a good one. She's doing food preservation too. Yeah. What's really cool about the canning diva is she was, um, Jane had been following
Starting point is 00:40:04 her, they've been following each other for years online and trying to get her to come to Prepper Camp. She wanted to come to Prepper Camp. This is the first year she's been able to do it, but she is like the primo canning person. She does stuff like, she'll do experiments. I think she did. People said, oh, you couldn't can potatoes.
Starting point is 00:40:27 So she can potatoes and then she took it to a lab a year later and it was absolutely fine. Wow. That's kind of stuff that she does. That's a great idea. I was surprised and not surprised after we had our conversation, she talked about wanting to get more Prep more become more of a prepper You know what? I mean and add more of those kinds of prepping skills and tactical skills to the to the game and that
Starting point is 00:40:55 I get that from people man all the time all the time I've ran into other moms who were like, oh we do a lot of natural stuff and I mentioned I'm a prepper and they're like, you know We need you to come speak because we're trying to get more into the prepping Yeah, I'm telling you it's it's a thing It's a thing that people I think are just now starting to have like the permission to do without Mass criticism from friends and family, you know, like things have been crazy enough now where I think people are thinking, you know what, we can get crazy and do a little bit of prepping stuff and, you know, we won't be ostracized for it. Yeah, it's a good sign.
Starting point is 00:41:40 It is a good sign. It does feel like we're starting to walk it back a little bit the comfort and convenience of it all and Are we are there is there gonna be a stop the bleed? Yeah, you read it the same time I did. Yeah, okay Because on that email that you sent For anyone who signed up I was trying to go through the list to see if that was on there because I know it says you can learn and it's just a plethora of skillset. There's a stop the bleed class. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Morris, our EMT is teaching that he has been our EMT forever. Is Hakeem going to be there again this year? No. Okay. Yeah, yeah, I didn't get to see Chin's class last year. I'm really looking forward to that. That's gonna be awesome right the mesh plastic I was sitting here today and just had an epiphany that we have a 3d printer upstairs and I Just and up until now. I just never even wrapped my head around like why don't I just make them?
Starting point is 00:42:42 I could just make the radios probably for way cheaper than they sell them and it just I'm sure you could the guts are the what's like the expensive part but it's still not expensive they're cheap it's not I've actually got some innards and I think starting out you can pay around like 30 bucks for the insides if you're printing the outside and put it together I have the PLA stuff like crazy in my house and so if it's 30 bucks for the innards then it's zero bucks for the container. I mean if you don't count you know antenna upgrade then 30 bucks is better than when I paid for my first little Lily goes they were like 70 bucks each or something like
Starting point is 00:43:20 that when I got them but that was ways back. Oh man we can't keep Rick on no I you know what I think from my understanding when I was looking at the GPS this whole part of the state was going to be hit by a storm at some point so who knows uh maybe that's what it is yeah you got some weather Rick is that what it is up there? No, I need to get some satellite Internet. That's what I need to get. Well, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Yeah, I've got I've got the Starlink. It's definitely it's definitely an improvement. Yeah, I've got it. I get I get a microwave dish that goes 13 and a half miles to a tower and that tower then has a then that tower goes to the ISP so I'm about as far out as I can possibly be and literally it's pointing at a mountain so it's it but it's the only thing that we could have here before Starleak existed so yeah I've'm thinking about it. I'm seriously well, I'll tell you what your signal is not bad You know, I mean you're going in and out but like your your actual picture itself and your audio when you're on is clear
Starting point is 00:44:37 Yes When I had Paul on the other day, he was on vacation I don't really want to say where but coastal and His internet went went south quick and it was really bad but that was a yeah that was an interesting one he's a great guy man that's that's a guy I talked to years ago at his booth and I didn't realize that was the same guy till we started yapping together last week but his his whole Yeah, that that connection did between politics and prepping. I think is one that all preppers need to Wrap their head around again You know what I mean and realize like you you can carve the politics out of prepping if you want
Starting point is 00:45:18 But it's gonna it's gonna come back to haunt you. It's not something you can do without if you're if you are involved in in politics or if you you know, if you're paying attention and you're getting active in it um, the way I look at it is hopefully it will Keep us from having a civil war um That's why I got involved, you know, yeah, that's definitely one way to look at it for sure You know, yeah, that's definitely one way to look at it for sure but it's yeah that was talking to him really kind of reinvigorated that in me because I was having
Starting point is 00:45:55 You know, I feel like it ebbs and flows with us all as preppers you have that like radical independence Sort of you know stretch in your life where you're like, I don't want to deal with anything with these politicians are all corrupt losers I hate them all and then you realize like typically when when laws start getting written close to home, you realize like, oh shit, you've got to pay attention. Like I understand don't hang on every word, but you do have to pay attention to it on on some scope or level because it is going to affect you either directly or indirectly. And people want to say, well, you know, I don't worry about that because if it's gonna happen it's gonna happen Well, I'd like to make sure I'm not gonna worry about it But I'm gonna make sure I'm taking care of so when it does happen
Starting point is 00:46:31 It's one less thing that I'm gonna panic for. Yeah, that's exactly right. You know Sam remember Sam Biggers Yeah, Sam Sam always Resonates in my head when people get sort of like over overtly self-reliant on you, you know, especially if they're not living that way yet and they give you the whole like I'm gonna be like Ungovernable and all that kind of stuff Because I always remember her because she was so straight to the point with everything and I always remember Oh, no one is ever gonna be self-sufficient in the modern age and it was so weird because she's the one that I would talk to and be like if
Starting point is 00:47:10 Anybody's pulling it off. They have their own gas station She's about as close to the mark as you can get and her saying that was a real big eye-opener for me You know, it was like Okay. Well, then we got it. We got it. We got it. At least stay tetherethered to this political agenda for some, for some things, you know what I mean? And that's the reality of it. I mean, that's the harsh reality of it because it does suck and they are horrible, but if gas goes to $10, there ain't anybody probably, or very few people who, uh, it wouldn't feel that, you know what I I mean no matter what you're doing and how you're producing food because
Starting point is 00:47:48 You know gotta have that gas all for a lot of inputs and to get off of your homestead to go get the things that You need and come back and so on Right because not you know there are people who live out very remote and to even have to go into town I doubt you want a bicycle pedal all the way up a mountain or where ever you're how green you are right yeah exactly yeah no yeah it's one of those things it's uh we're almost down to the two hour mark J-Frick do we lose Rick again or is he just watching it looks frozen on my yeah well it was worth a shot. Oh, there we go. OK.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Well, it was worth a shot. We can hold it down, no problem. We can hold it down. What do you got on the class list over there? I see an eyeball in the. Are you still looking at the class list? No, I was, but I was also popping into Element just to let them know that we're live.
Starting point is 00:48:43 I appreciate that. Thank you. Yeah, the old element. The old element. I'm actually getting kicked out of element right now. I need to get my act together. Really? I have it set up on my phone so I can... That's why it's like I have my phone set up here so I can go on and quickly pull up information if I need to without having to pull off any move any of my screens. I need about an hour to get my element in order because it's I'm at the Gestapo checkpoint with element right now and I I've typed my
Starting point is 00:49:15 catchphrase in and my passphrase and all that kind of stuff and it's still giving me issues it doesn't like it gives me access I can get into it but it's still giving me issues. It doesn't like it gives me access I can get into it, but it's always a problem It's always like a couple windows. I gotta get scanned the QR code To realize I could add signal and sessions to my laptop, but I don't have an element on this laptop I have yeah on the desk an old laptop on the desktop is nice. That's definitely nice Yeah, it goes man. The unsung hero is Lucky. Lucky is, he doesn't stop. I mean, that guy is a news network. Like, I'll go away from element for a few days and I'll come back and see Lucky in politics and business and all that kind of stuff
Starting point is 00:50:00 in the element. And he just every day. It pops it between him and chin. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, chin chin man chin some days will it will have you loading magazines. That's chin Chin scares the shit out of you. Oh my god Yes, cuz sometimes they'll put like the first article in the morning and I'm like I woke up by 30 Yeah, that's at six o'clock. I'm like really and this early I'm reading it and that other times I'm like, I can't watch it just just yet let me at least get my tea down. Chin will hit you man he don't care what hour he's up he'll hit you with one of those ones you're like oh god it's on I gotta wake up get the coffee maker on it's crazy yeah I can't wait to see Chin up there doing his thing man that's
Starting point is 00:50:42 gonna be so cool. So first time time I met Chin, go ahead. Oh, I was just going to ask, are you, is the same speaker for, um, D Googling phones going to be there? I can't remember what specifically his class is called though. Oh yeah. Sean Patrick Tarrio is going to be there. Yeah, he's going to, yeah. Well, yeah, he's going to be, um, he's going gonna do ghost phones and ghost computers and he's also gonna do artificial intelligence
Starting point is 00:51:09 Yeah, yeah, I the more as things have been going on. I've really been looking into If i'm gonna have a phone for like the smart stuff fine But I would kind of like to have my own personal phone separate from the entire network of google I kind of like to have my own personal phone separate from the entire network of Google. Yeah, he's going to be doing demos, he said, too. That is Booth. So that would be expensive. It really is not expensive.
Starting point is 00:51:34 It's a little bit of a learning curve to go away from the apps that you're used to for all these years. But it works. Right. No, I it works. Right. No, I it's, I've heard good things. I, I know you've mentioned it before on a class. Uh, Oh, so a listener does want to know when will a class list be finalized? Um, isn't it usually posted like a week before? About two weeks before.
Starting point is 00:52:03 About two weeks. So the classes are all there. The schedule is the only thing that is going to be two weeks before, because we have to kind of see what we've got. After we're finished selling tickets, you know, we know what we have for people. And then we're kind of figuring out what rooms they're going to be in, what classrooms they're going to be in, what tents they're going to be in. So that stuff is still kind of fluid, but the classes themselves are pretty much locked in.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Are listed on the website, right? Yeah, they're all listed on the website. The classes and the detailed class descriptions are all on the website. There they are. It's pretty cool little stuff. Oh, I like that. Boycott Big Tech Mark 37, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Yeah, they were cool guys, man they were like one of the first people to really like pick on me about my cell phone it was a His Sean was relentless for a little while But you know you with the cell phone is one of those things right? You're so like Inextricably tied to everything it does for you that it is kind of scary But also chin chin has been weaning me off to in the back channel He sends me new apps that he uses like I use this app. I use this app everything I said he's on a ghost phone. You could do it. You could buddy
Starting point is 00:53:15 I think helps me slowly adjust to not being because we've all gotten where we've gotten codependent on it is Living out in an area where my cell provider is just about zilch without satellite. So it's like, okay, I'm good. I don't need it. And anyways, when I'm out checking the chickens or whatever I'm doing, I don't need to have my phone on me anyways, unless there's an emergency. So it stays in my pocket. So it's like, I shouldn't be sitting there scrolling through the only time I have it connected to me or on as if I'm listening To an audiobook while I'm cleaning up the the chicken area That is what's surprising about the phones that I've noticed is that once you settle into the idea that you don't need it on you It becomes real easy to leave it.
Starting point is 00:54:05 It's not as, you know what I mean? It's like you feel like it's tethered to you. And then once you start leaving it behind for a little while, you start going like, oh, you know what I mean? Like, I don't even really. Well, I keep it in my pocket because God forbid if I get bit by something or something happens, I need to make sure I can call out to help the first person closest to me. Valid, valid. That said, though, I remember and this is like one of those things like you say and you feel old, but I remember going to the Brandywine River at like six in the morning
Starting point is 00:54:39 alone, fishing pole alone, parking on the road and going fishing till three o'clock in the afternoon. You know what I mean? And nobody even would think anything of it. My family, my girlfriend, now wife, nobody would even think anything of it. Jimmy's fishing today. He'll be, you know what I mean? He'll be gone for hours.
Starting point is 00:54:59 And even me, I was never like- That was the difference at the times though, is we we could For a day and just nobody questioned it now if I don't respond as soon as my mother calls the phone I'm getting three texts back-to-back thinking that I'm dead And it's just cuz they have it. It's just cuz it's here and you're like, well, I should hear from somebody I got this phone. You know, I mean like somebody should call me on it Yeah, but those guys those guys are valuable to at least have a conversation with if you're at Prepper Camp, you should at the very least go to the Mark 37 and yes, and let them bully you for five minutes, 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:55:33 And if you could stand up to the bullying, then you're then you're good. But yeah, they know their stuff. That's that's not yet. It's so well rounded now, man. I don't it's hard for me to remember like the class lineup back in 2019. But it just seems like Prepper Camp lately hits so much stuff. It hits so many different like high notes and varieties of topics. When the A.I. came in, it was that like two years ago, the drones came in.
Starting point is 00:56:03 Things started coming in technologically that really changed things too. And it was like, oh, this is just, you know, there's nothing like it. I've, I've got a question. So if say, you know, newcomers come in, what are like three of the top classes you think someone should take for the very first time or would recommend? Oh man. That's a good one. That's a good one. That's a good one.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Rick should say secret garden of survival right off the top. Maybe we have to make, we might, I think Rick conked out on us. I think he froze. Yeah. He's back. He's going, let me remove the other. We've got two of them. Let me, there we go.
Starting point is 00:56:44 Did you hear the question or no? I did not hear the question. I heard her say, I have a question and then. Yeah. So my question is, are there like three top classes you would recommend for any brand newcomers as far as should recommend that they would take? You know, I don't, you need, you need to take some, if they're absolute newcomers, I would go to Jane's class for sure.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Oh, the reality is a homesteading. Because she's gonna, that is, you know, an eye opening thing, but she makes it fun. I mean, it is fun. I don't know, I'm a big proponent to growing your own food because that's where it is these days. If you're not growing your own food, you're going to die. Pretty simple. You can't eat the stuff that they're feeding us. So I teach how to grow a camouflage food forest and grows everything that I consume and well, we consume as people and also our animals. So it feeds us on less than half an acre.
Starting point is 00:57:56 So again, Christine recommends the secret garden class. Thanks Christine. So I don't know. I think this is the best group of classes, highest quality and highest quality instructors that we have had to date. It's just really good stuff. It's, and I try to get classes that are topical for the time that we are living in right now. So there's a lot of, there's a lot of basic classes like the gardening class and canning classes and those kinds of things. But then there's stuff that's, Hey, you know, we might need it. We might, we might, might need to know how to do guerrilla warfare in suburban
Starting point is 00:58:41 America, um, because look what's happening. So, you know, those are the kinds of things that, that, uh, you know, in suburban America because look what's happening. So those are the kinds of things that, you know, maybe we didn't think about five years ago, but now could be important. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, it's an epic lineup. Yeah, it's great classes, but even best is the awards night. Oh yeah, awards night is where it's at classes, but even best is the the awards night. Oh
Starting point is 00:59:05 Yeah words night is where it's at always the best. It's always a party. Hey fire That's and then it's having it Saturday night is crucial You know what? I mean, it's such a good night to have it because it really does feel like the What's a good way to look at it just feels just feels like you spend a day, like Friday you spend the day saying hi and meeting people at your booth and touch from the speaker standpoint, you know, and doing you get your first round of classes done. Then you go into Saturday, knock another day out. And then that night, it feels like, oh, now it's camp.
Starting point is 00:59:44 Like the last couple days, it was a prepper event and I was there and I was selling and doing and teaching. And then like now now it's like summer camp. Like we got music on. We got fun. Everybody's under the big tent. We got events and prizes. It feels different Saturday night, you know, to me anyway. Well, and I think what goes on is the more people at the.
Starting point is 01:00:07 Us who are repeat visitors is we come a little bit earlier every, right, we come earlier every time. So I'm always out usually by a Wednesday evening, sitting up so I can have a whole day just to help set up and then be able to harass poor Rick and Miss Jane and everybody else who is coming in. I would love to already be set there and setting up and just enjoying, just enjoying the view and the atmosphere and the people. Yeah, yeah, no doubt about it. Well, that's the thing about where it's at. That's the other thing, you know, I've done prepper shows in in stuffy, you know, convention centers, and it's just like,
Starting point is 01:00:40 you know, it's just like, you know, it's just like, you know, it's just like, you know, it's just like, you know, it's at. That's the other thing, you know. I've done prepper shows in stuffy, you know, convention centers and it's just like, I don't know. This is out in the open, in the elements with a beautiful background and beautiful fresh air and I wouldn't want it any other way. Oh yeah, there's no, yeah. And then of course on top of all that you get people like I think it was the canning diva But you get people like her who were talking about like oh, it's been Years since I've gone camping You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:01:13 And then you as a prepper you get to go out and see what that's all about like what is my prepping of my camping game? Really like what am I gonna do in the dark? What am I gonna? You know, what are these things that maybe you know, because you could be a prepper for years and never go camping. It's not like it's a prerequisite. Right. You can never put that stuff to a test. A lot of people don't. I will. Salvage asked if I will be bringing the kids. I will have the youngest in tow. I am trying to work on the 16, well soon to be 16 year old, because it would be right in his willhouse. Absolutely right in his
Starting point is 01:01:50 willhouse. So I had to convince him though it wouldn't be a matter of him having to take all the classes I have that literally I could trust him being out on his own because it's like one of the safest places. There are other kids. More and more younger folks are coming in. More children are involved. I love it. I would love to have all my kids there. I've never had a year of Prepper Camp where I didn't regret bringing the kids.
Starting point is 01:02:19 It happens every year, especially like when I'm going over to The matter of facts camp sites and there's kids playing over there on that little sliding swing thing It's like the repel thing every time I walk by they're like You know, yeah, but there are times like prepper camp started out as him as a me thing Honestly is the selfish me thing I got to do for myself as a prepper without my kids and now as time's going on I'm like, man, I would love if the kids could be here. Yeah, maybe a day trip. That might be the way to go. I might have to note that. Knock out a date, the family come down for a day, have fun, because then they're going to be
Starting point is 01:03:02 like, all right, we're going to get out of here. Send them away so you can enjoy it. Yeah. Yeah Yeah that they go and do what they want to do and I'm already doing what I want to do for sure. Yeah that's a good way to look at it but if you do have kids out there folks I mean there's usually like a little uh Lord of the Flies sort of situation that happens around camp usually like usually like a group of kids running around together at some point or another Unless Rick grabs on parking duty like Sarah's yeah, I work too much standing around No, that's yeah, it is a good environment for kids though. I think the lakes real safe They got headed off area where you can swim and that kind of stuff what they got life vest there too
Starting point is 01:03:43 Everything else. Yeah Yeah, and I mean they'd have to work real hard to get out of Orchard Lake campground I don't think it'd be worth the effort, you know, there's way more way more trouble to get into close by When everybody's watching but we have we have security there too that we don't talk about that's true Well, there you go. I didn't even know that. There's nobody with security on their person that you can see. So that's the best kind.
Starting point is 01:04:15 So we get some ex special forces guys that are out there on patrol. And they're just keeping an eye on stuff now I'm gonna be insecure if I like sneak into the woods for a pee somebody's gonna take a kid with you somebody's got me on night vision goggles and they're laughing yeah so we look we got 61 people over there on X watching right now, at least. 48 on X and 13 on YouTube. Oh, is that what it is? Okay.
Starting point is 01:04:58 I never knew what that number up there was. Well anyhow, at least a handful of you need to go to prepper camp.com. We've got an hour and 47 minutes left before ticket prices go up. So go visit the website, PrepperCamp.com. You get to see all the speakers and you get to buy your tickets there. So go check it out. Don't miss out because the biggest problem for you guys who listen to PBN is you got to listen to us.
Starting point is 01:05:23 You got to listen to us on the lead up. You got to listen to us as it's going on. You got to listen to us. When we come back. I end up usually post stuff while I'm there. And then just like last year is doing little snippets and recordings until I could get enough signal to be able to post it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:40 Yeah. I'm telling you it's gotta be a rough ride Because we stay on it for about a month straight talking about the fun and all that and things that we're doing and and Then of course gushing about it when we get back because everybody always comes back from prepper camp with a big to-do list I got to get this right. I got to do that I got to fix this and you know all these new prepping things that we want to do Yeah, I always come back with notes I know you're gonna have like a full full classes but any ideas or comments and who some of the vendors are so you can have an idea and have her ready for the for the market I think you might have timed out again. Yeah. I thought that was a good question. What are you bringing, Jay Ferg?
Starting point is 01:06:25 What are you bringing? I actually am going to have my dump pouches. I am going to have my collapsible duffel bags or shopping bags that we can open and carry. And then I have my reversible bags. I actually, with the move and everything, I really need to get a bunch of wool spun so I can actually sell some fiber if people are interested. Because I've had people who are interested in
Starting point is 01:06:55 buying the fiber versus the finished items. That makes sense. But I do want to make a few good wool hats and a few other items. Yeah, that makes sense. I'm trying to pull up our rumble so I can take a sneak peek in there because I've noticed this doesn't actually tell us the number of viewers for rumble. Is it working because I can bring it up real quick if not. I think my service has just been a little finicky. So now that I have you back. I have to go out and get the goats to get off the internet so they won't keep kicking me off. The goats are kicking the internet. Oh I like it. You can't trust
Starting point is 01:07:36 those goats. Yeah the girls all have their own cell phones you know they're at at that age. Is there any sneak peek idea of some of the vendors? What about the vendors? Like who some of the vendors are who are coming in so we can get a little idea and having our money ready for them? If you get a big chunk of change there's Mammoth Overland which is like a tank. I loved that thing. And the thing is the guy started an aviation company too so he's I mean that's where he comes from and he had all the tooling stuff and everything like that so yeah that thing is like a it's it's a tank. You just can't stop it. I was afraid it was going to float away. I saw it right down there by the that was the yellow thing right down there by the. Yeah, but it had it had stills though for to keep it keep it dry. Yeah, it was cool. It was. Yeah, I can't get mine to pull up. You're going to have to. Oh, I'll
Starting point is 01:08:43 check it out. I can tell me. Firewolf,. You're gonna have to check it out and tell me Fire wolf fire wolf. I think fire wolf might have been knocking your dump bags a little bit. I'm not sure I don't think he understands how cool they are. Oh, no, it's not a knitted one. Hold on I actually I have one I can get let me yeah, go grab it. It's fine change He's probably I know but I'm just but you should see you because they are sweet They are My camera for a second. Oh just go here. I'll take you off. Just take it. Yeah, well that'll work you could do that That's fine Yeah, fire wolf. They're sweet, man
Starting point is 01:09:19 They I got one of those special Top tier foraging bags from Jay Fergie. Those things are awesome, too. You got to get your hands on one of those special top tier foraging bags from Jay Fergie. Those things are awesome too. You got to get your hands on one of those. How the hell? Here we go. Okay. Now we can see what's going on over in the rumble world.
Starting point is 01:09:38 Nothing. That's what's going on over at rumble. Okay. Everybody at YouTube and X. Okay. I can't figure out who's on what platform when early risers on rumble. That's what I know. Early risers on rumble and I guess the late nighters on X and YouTube fighting
Starting point is 01:09:55 with everybody, leaving nasty comments, is that what you guys are doing on late night here? Yeah, so it's not bad. How is yeah, there we go. Oh, get a little not bad. Dump pouches. Yeah, there we go. Oh, get a little closer to it. It went blurry. Oh, yeah, there it is. Yeah, that thing's sweet, man.
Starting point is 01:10:12 And also right on the belt. So put it on your belt, which this one's one of the earlier ones before I finished them up better. So I have better snaps on them. So, yeah, it literally opens and is a dump pouch with a sister snap so you can close it in case it's too full. I love them. They're sweet. It's a great idea. Yeah, that that'll be a good one. Dave Jones always comes to retail row with like the survival gear galore
Starting point is 01:10:46 He always comes with a good a good bunch of stuff I guess he's been coming with goat soap and that sort of stuff this year, too Yeah, probably so yeah, he said he's bringing the warden. Yeah, the warden should be there. We'll see I know he's always a shake up at the end. We never know Yes, I hope it's the Romanian Hot Pockets this time again.

Fortress canine's phenomenal and they always have like hoodies and shirts too. Yep, yep I bought Lady Liberty a shirt. The last two years ago yeah. Yeah those things man. Those collars they sell they're expensive but they're about the coolest collar I think I've ever seen to put on a dog I'm wondering if Sun ovens gonna be there this year Yeah, I don't know. I should know that I just actually email forest about this my son oven. I had a Affiliate link for the Sun oven that I give out to PBN audience and it wasn't working
Starting point is 01:14:42 I even emailed him to see what was up. I'm from yet Yeah, fire wolf said knit. It would still be funny, dude I've I've actually crocheted foraging bags and they do great. So we were talking about them when you were gone actually, I was telling them I have a limited edition Jay Fergie foraging bag and Yeah, that thing. I should have the collapsible forge design ready. Laugh out loud. So Firewolf, just come to camp this year. Yeah, right? Why not? Buy a ticket.

You would have a ball man. You could sleep behind my tent You could be help me out with coffee And it would be you'd be awesome then you were just run run around I love it when I'm stuck right over there by your booth.
Starting point is 01:15:47 Cause I like that. Then I can help with coffee and everything. Oh, the coffee first thing, man. Yeah. That's the, that's the deal. I love it. It's the best. What I love the most is when the ladies come and they've got the pad and the
Starting point is 01:16:01 coffee and the pen and it's like, you know,, 750 and they're like, I need a coffee. I'm getting ready to go in and they're ready, man. They are ready. And some of those women that I seen last time I was there, not last year before, but some of those women that I seen with the pen and the pad and the coffee, those same women came in 2019. Was 2019, 2020 when we had the rain and they were there with the slicker and the pen and yes They didn't care man. They were they were there to learn
Starting point is 01:16:34 Yeah, it was cool. That was really cool. I Can definitely say Rick? I love what you've you've put together because over the years, having the first year I was teaching, and then three years later, someone walk up, do you remember this kid? And I look and it was the same young man who had taken my class, but no longer the same young man. He was two feet taller than me. Yes. I was like, oh my God,
Starting point is 01:17:03 it's been two years. It's it's just crazy. Yeah. Yeah, that happened. That happened to my son. Now, he's tall as I am. It's crazy. It is crazy. Well, yours is probably taller than you now, right, Jayfer? Your oldest. What was that? I said your oldest is probably taller than you now, right?
Starting point is 01:17:21 Oh, God, he's like 5'11". I'm 5'2". He's looking down on mama. Yeah, but I'm still southern as all get out. Mama brought you in. Mama will take you out. Hey, you need that. He needs that, you know, for sure. Definitely. Yeah. There's no doubt about it. So where are we at? One hour thirty. One hour thirty left on the ticket sales.
Starting point is 01:17:50 Let's get in there. PrepperCamp.com. Get your tickets, folks. We got some we got some cool food stuff that's going to be down in the field. And if you remember, remember Shanae, she's got, you know, kind of the the the good the good healthy food stuff. So she's doing a smoothie trailer. She's got a trailer.
Starting point is 01:18:10 So she's doing smoothies and she's doing milkshakes and that kind of stuff. And then on the other end, we've got the, we get some really good carny fried foods, um, like, uh, like funnel cakes and that kind of stuff too. So I'm looking forward to seeing that. Yeah. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. I never feel like you guys definitely dialed in the food over the last three, four years,
Starting point is 01:18:38 something like that. Yeah, I felt like it's definitely been a it's definitely been a good time at lunch. That one truck that comes every year, but not the coffee one, not the coffee folks over there this year. Yeah, that's them. They are awesome. But then there was a sandwich joint too, that did a really good job. I got a Ruben from them one year. That was great.
Starting point is 01:19:00 I was surprised. One year I came, there was a great breakfast truck. Um, I haven't seen him since. I never really do breakfast that much at Prepper Camp. Weirdly enough. I, yeah, which is funny is I'm not a breakfast eater, but at, at camp, that is the first thing I'm up at like 6am with the camp top on and I'm frying bacon or cooking eggs. Yeah. Yeah. Well you make them potatoes too in the morning Those things are outrageous. Yeah Making potatoes potatoes It was so the skillet potatoes are a supper meal that I do with the sausage and everything and then
Starting point is 01:19:44 Yeah, that was good, man. That was definitely a good one in the camp. So the camp. What's going down on that? That top level camps, Jasmine camps up there now. Where the matter of fact, guys used to camp or will camp or had camped in the past. Didn't she book a campsite up there no Jasmine
Starting point is 01:20:07 yeah okay I didn't know if that was the happen in place last year or not I guess you guys were no EJ EJ was with us Ryan and Doug oh okay I got you we all converged into the same little area. Um, because I think Jasmine had originally actually, they had like an Airbnb or something and then they had came up and then couldn't get back down. That's right. She was in. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:39 Yeah. She was staying thinking the Hendersonville area or something, something like that. And she, so the commute became impossible Going back. So yeah We had we had an awful lot of people underneath the canopy in the lodge I seen a video of I think it was that Friday night was that the night Friday night when it started to really come in and Thursday but Everybody was all of his clothes hanging up on on on
Starting point is 01:21:09 lines in the in the canopy and just look at the law because he said he only had he brought two pairs of clothes so oh man yeah and he and he wrote it in a hammock through the hurricane and yeah and I had my cooktop out. Just, you know, everybody had contributed a bunch of stuff. So I had bacons and eggs and I'm just like, here, you guys did stone soup. No, I did. I cooked breakfast though. I had bacon eggs. I had orange juice. I was telling people to eat just because it's like being cold and wet. Oh yeah. And hungry is miserable, but you're a little less miserable if you have bacon and eggs on your stomach. So bacon and eggs is good for morale. Yeah no doubt about it. Yeah yeah I'm
Starting point is 01:21:54 looking forward to it man it's gonna be a great year. The one thing nobody ever talks about is fishing at Prepper Camp. It's the most under it the most, it's the dark horse of the whole camp is that lake back there behind us. I rarely see people out there fishing. Yeah, that's what I mean. That little, yeah, I don't know what's going on with you. You look like you're in the ring. Like you watch the ring VHS tape. I don't know what's.
Starting point is 01:22:20 So what else, what are we leaving out? What are we forgetting? The big PBN podcast. That's always a blast. I always had like a dream that we would do the big PBN podcast to an audience. That would be fun at Prepper Camp. You know what I mean? To have a bunch of people there under one of the tents. That's always a good one though. Tinfoil hat competition. Oh, duh. Yeah. What am I thinking? The tinfoil hat competition. I forget it. It never forgets me. That's the deal with tin foil hat. You know that
Starting point is 01:22:50 What was it last year that we still had someone walk up with the tin foil hat It's the same girl has been doing it so many years in a row. It's like I love the dedication. Oh, yeah Our attendees. Yeah, you guys held it down for me last year. I appreciate that Oh, yeah. Our attendees. Yeah, you guys held it down for me last year. I appreciate that. I did. That was the last thing I expected somebody to show up with.
Starting point is 01:23:08 It's a tin foil ad in that situation. But I think that says a lot. You know, we saw it in that year with the heavy rains, and you guys saw it last year. Some people are going to make it no matter what happens. You know? Friday night, we're working with PrepperNet to do a mag group type thing. And we're going to have people be able to break up
Starting point is 01:23:33 into their regions and that sort of stuff so they can, they can call cool minded people. I mean, you know, so this is anybody, anybody can can come to it. So you can see if, hey, I didn't know you were in my area. So it's a chance for people to commiserate and meet up with some other folks that are like-minded in their region. That's a good idea. That's pretty cool actually. Walk away with some contacts. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:04 Definitely. The max or a thing dog demos, um, fortress K nine fortress K nine. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. I'm, I'm training my fortress canine dog to do bite work and that sort of stuff. She's great. She's, and then she's also my all around all purpose guardian livestock dog. So, um, she got a tall task ahead of her, man. You guys got a lot of stuff to guard. Yep.
Starting point is 01:24:30 Yeah, she does. Well, I got two other dogs that guard the other side of the farm. Okay. Okay. Uh, she does, she does the important one. She does the goats. So, um, we go out every afternoon to, uh, I take the girls out to lunch in the woods and they get to browse. And so she's circling them the whole time, checking stuff out, smelling for coyotes,
Starting point is 01:24:54 you know, just keeping everybody kind of in, in line. And, uh, so yeah, it's, she's, she's great. But, uh, I know, um, Joel from fortress canine has said many a time, I gotta get you, you're and Do you ever actually get a break? Not really. Not really. I was telling Jane today is my favorite part of Prepper Campus when it's over. You get a brief respite and then you wake up the next morning and get started on 2026. Wake up the next morning and start, you know, unpacking goods, unpacking stuff, testing equipment, make sure it still works when it arrives home and then inventorying everything and putting it away. That's at least a two week process, that process itself.
Starting point is 01:25:54 So there's a lot of moving parts. Yeah. Yeah. If anybody wants to put on a prepper camp, man, just have a conversation with Rick. You might be deterred. I don't know. It's definitely a tall order for sure. You got to get a lot of work. Yeah. You got a good crew down there helping you out every year. I see them. I see them on them.
Starting point is 01:26:18 Set up images chin down there and the rest of the crew setting up tents early. Yeah, man, it's We got it. We got to get a succession plan in order probably right? So we are I mean we are preppers so We definitely need some kind of succession plan Savage Savage Valley asks the longest distance anyone's ever traveled to Prepper Camp. I guess Germany, right? Oh, you're right, Australia.
Starting point is 01:26:50 Yeah, it was Germany until Erin showed up. Is Erin? Did I get that right? No, it's Ellen. Ellen, that's it. I'm sorry, Ellen. I apologize. Yeah, she won't be able to make it this year.
Starting point is 01:27:02 No, she's not coming this year from Australia. Yeah, but she's usually there. the Italy right or the UK. I know there was a guy from Germany Yeah, Germany. Yeah, we've had people from Germany's bananas. Yeah That's wild It doesn't surprise me much honestly with having known Individuals who are military and then finding out oh their sister who was in Germany or knew someone whose sister-in-law was sorry Their sister-in-law is from Germany who was actually a fan of Sarah's books So it's like oh, I happen to know that person. That's wild
Starting point is 01:27:50 well, you got to think right imagine you woke up tomorrow and you were in Europe like You'd have a to-do list and on that to-do list would be prepping for sure You know you've got oh, I gotta get prepared things are not looking good here in the motherland I Think preparedness should be key anywhere But especially overseas because they don't have they have more limitations to certain things than anything else Did they camp then or hotel it she hung with Sarah right didn't she sleep with Sarah's family? Yes, yes, she she sleeps she camps over there with Sarah. What is going on with my camera?
Starting point is 01:28:29 I don't know. You're getting real blurry, like, for some reason. Is it the hand? Maybe? No. I thought the hand was helping and now it's like it's not doing anything. I, I don't... Could it be the brightness on your computer? Sometimes you could turn the brightness up on your screen and it makes your face brighter. And you might do away with that. Mine was way down. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:28:51 Yes, StreamYard. There's a secret in StreamYard. It's that the whole thing is white, so you can actually use it as a light if you turn your screen up a little bit. Say it again. You were up. Everybody's breaking up on me now. Rick is back. Jay Ferg, are you with us? We are testing the capabilities of a... Well, this is not really that long of a stream, one hour, 30 minutes.
Starting point is 01:29:29 We've done much longer. I think we did four and a half, five hours election night, right? Something like that. Yeah, that's the truth, Larry. It would be, uh, it would be probably impossible to pull Prepper Camp off without all that help. It's one of those things. It's definitely a joint effort, no doubt about it. We couldn't do without volunteers.
Starting point is 01:29:56 If you had to think about what a ticket would cost if I had to hire people to do all the things that need to be done, it would be triple or quadruple what the price is right now easily just to pay people. The amount of the amounts that is charged for other events in comparison is extreme in my opinion, just in comparison. I'll tell you what is one way to look at it that I thought made a lot of sense this year. I started thinking about tactical training. So you got a CQB. I started thinking about maybe even like your training, Jordan, and basic survival courses that you would take maybe with yourself or with a family member or with your whole family.
Starting point is 01:30:57 And when you start to tally up what those things cost compared to a Prepper Camp ticket, I mean, that's where it it really the value really starts to show because you're still going to pay lodging in most cases, right? You don't probably don't have a survival school like. A couple blocks down the road, so you're probably still going to have to pay lodging and then you're going to go out there and spend, I mean, I don't know many survival courses that are under 200 bucks, you know, I don't know many survival courses that are under 200
Starting point is 01:31:25 bucks. You know, I don't know any that are right. So when you look at it from that standpoint, you think. Because there are it's not all just speaking, it's hands on stuff. Some of it, you know, you can go do hands on training and all that kind of stuff for the right now. If you know, if you get your tickets tonight, it'll be 75 bucks That's crazy talk 75 bucks three days
Starting point is 01:31:52 60 cool classes every single day and Even even when they hit the highest point it's still reasonable most of them I think are 275 and up for most places for their tickets Yeah, and if I mean if you're worried about saving like it pays for itself But in an honesty to the soonest you buy the tickets the best Yeah, definitely Waitin waiting is only gonna cost you more in
Starting point is 01:32:23 Many ways too, you know because then then you got to, oh, where are we going to camp? What if there's no more campsites? Now we got to get a... And because campsites are limited and they're subject to having a ticket too. Yeah. Because you can't just... Because there was issues in the past or years before where people were renting camp spaces without proof of a ticket and
Starting point is 01:32:45 then couldn't attend the events. And it's like, then it costs people who had tickets to miss out on actually having spots. Yeah. Get it taken care of. They were squatting and then scalping. Oh really? That's what was going on.
Starting point is 01:33:01 Yep. Oh my, you can't get away from it. Human nature, I guess, in some cases, Right. We put a kibosh on that. So we worked with the campgrounds so they had to have a ticket and ticket number, valid ticket number before they could rent a, before they could reserve a camping site. So we got rid of that thing from happening because that was, that was a huge bone of contention for a lot of people. and I had people who were buying tickets that couldn't get campsites because somebody was Squatting and you know saving them from last year or they were renting they were getting something and then they decided didn't want to come
Starting point is 01:33:36 so Well, and then I've seen over the years where The seven minutes show up someone trying to squad on someone else's site and it's like that's that you're you're making it difficult for other people who actually paid for their site and are coming in yeah yeah like I said that's the benefit of getting it all handled early then you don't have to think about it and you don't have to get in a position like that well my first year I showed up and camped up with you and your dad. Right, Jay Ferg? That was year one. Yeah. And then year two, I was down there with Dave. I came in
Starting point is 01:34:13 the back way. I couldn't find, I didn't know where the hell I was going. I got stuck in that loop, that prepper camp loop. I don't know if anybody's ever got stuck in that loop. Oh, where it comes and brings you up around the back side. Yeah. I went around that loop a few times because it was late It was like midnight or something when I got there How the hell to get in here I got in here last year. I don't remember how to get in here You know, there's yeah But if there's the night people are pulling in, you know all hours coming from wherever they're coming from
Starting point is 01:34:41 oh, yeah, and that you know the The campground closes at about 8 o'clock on Thursday night and I sleep like a baby. Just because I'm watching him come in. Same. Same. I think the second I lay down, I'm just, I'm out. If cars are pulling in, all that. I get the best two hours of sleep I ever have. And is that just because it's not your bed or the fact of all the traffic? No, I get the best two hours of sleep because that's all I get. I go out hard, man. I do. I've got a note. It doesn't matter if the whiskey is involved or not.
Starting point is 01:35:34 It's a I'm right out. Yeah, I could say that. We've stayed up till well past midnight, slept just fine. And then I'm up six, seven, you know, know six in the morning next day and I feel right as rain Yeah, you you freaked me out that first year We went you you must have slept an hour and a half that one night I fell asleep and woke up, you know, like a middle of the night P kind of wake up It's like 2 33 in the morning or something
Starting point is 01:36:02 And I hear Jordan out there on the pick the table You just having a midday conversation with her dad 3 a.m. Or something like that. I was like shit. Should I get up like I'm Yeah, man, it's earlier than that yeah, no well that's cuz you had a little hammered or something that would have That's because you had a little hammered or something. Is that what it was? Yeah. We're sitting around the campfire just having a few drinks. Maybe that's what it was.
Starting point is 01:36:31 That could have been it. You know, me, I come in there. I don't do hardly any drinking all year. And then I come to Prepper camp and I'm like, oh, man, I better I better keep it in line. It could get crazy That one year was rough that one year was the first hangover I had in a long long time Jayford You know what? I've never had one at camp never Yeah that night I was I was in a mess
Starting point is 01:37:02 It was too good. It was just too damn good. The tool man. Oh, no, no. I mean, I'm right there with you. The picnic table full of people. Oh, and then cactus juice. It was a really wild moment. Yeah, all that. All that. And you get into that stuff, right? You get into the drinks of necessity on top of what you've been drinking already because
Starting point is 01:37:17 Sarah and I have that. We have that Jägermeister tradition now because when she started. Go ahead. a Jaeger meister tradition now because so I started go ahead yeah and I make my drinks with Jaeger cranberry juice and peach schnapps oh man yeah that's a throw-up cocktail that's what that is no no it's no it's me but it's yeah no it's great it does not make you throw up no sometimes I'm sweet things. You're like, oh this is fine I think it's all night the know the Jaeger really it's good. I promise you I have to make you one this year Well, like three four years ago, we were standing around the campfire and Sarah was like we should do something together
Starting point is 01:37:58 And then we did the you know brought to change your Rate. Yeah, and that's what she did She brought the bar that's kind of how we sealed the PB and deal with Sarah Hathaway was a swig of the Jagermeister And now every year it's We got to do it like tradition. You know what I mean? And that's enough for me. You just sit there and shake your head and laugh at us. Oh, definitely definitely You'd be like I'm wasting my time I need to go get us an hour of sleep under my right. I could go get my two hours of sleep. Yeah
Starting point is 01:38:30 there are all those microcosms too now. That's another crazy thing at Prepper Camp is that after hours groups that have been coming for years and years and years and it is like tradition. You know They show up year over year and they're partying down there or cooking up good food and all that stuff. It's Yeah, that's a thing now for sure that yeah, we've had some big turnouts in the in the nighttime Some of those massive the Michigan crews showing up Michigan. Is that right? Yeah, the Michigan crews showing up It's a lot. It's a lot. It's an experience, man. That's what it is.
Starting point is 01:39:10 You got to at least do it once in your life. Why not this year? Come prep the camp. Savage Valley. Come on. You might as well come. You've been a fan of PBN for so many years. It would be a shame not to been on air with us. Yeah. Yeah, she's been
Starting point is 01:39:27 She's been hanging for many many a year. That's a hike you oh Yeah, you'll live good man. You'll have a great time at Prepper camp And you know, that's one thing the camaraderie the food the company the kinsmanship. It's it's so worth it. So No doubt about it. What else are we forgetting? Anything? I know. I feel like we're forgetting something, right?
Starting point is 01:39:52 What are we forgetting? I don't know. I've been in and out so many times. I don't even know what you guys said. What about, uh, do you have anybody hammered down for a keynote? Not as of yet. No keynote yet. Okay.
Starting point is 01:40:07 Anybody you're in the running? Who would you like to see there? Besides Bannon? Yeah, I'd like to see Bannon. I'd love to see Bannon. I'm going to give Steve Bannon to show up as a surprise for Rick. Yeah. That would be something.
Starting point is 01:40:20 Well, if I don't know, might you know, there's somebody named Trump that might be running for the North Carolina Senate to replace our our hack Senator that has been a thorn in all of our conservative sides. So Tom Tillis has said he's not going to run. He was actually censured by the Republican Party in North Carolina last year. Oh, wow. Because he was voting more with Biden and the Democrats than he was with. Basically, he doesn't vote for his constituents. His constituents are the people giving him money. So I think he knew he wasn't
Starting point is 01:41:06 going to get re-elected so now he can just stop with the fakery and pretending because he's not going to try to get elected so he can be a bigger thorn in Trump's side. Or on the other hand, it could be that he plays nice and minds his P's and Q's cuz maybe the DOJ finally has some dirt on That's about it you get about a Two minutes on the Rick Right, but you know what? It's a good two minutes. Oh Breezy's checking flights Right. That's what I say when she asked, does she need a book?
Starting point is 01:41:48 No, just come. Well, we'll we'll cover you. Like, I think she can crash with us, right? Put her tent up right and right next to ours. Oh, yeah, definitely. Yeah, we got you. We got you, boo boo. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. It'd be it'd be awesome. Yeah, for sure it'd be.
Starting point is 01:42:07 It'd be awesome. Be awesome. That it's always awesome. I always get running people run into me and say hi. I have no idea who they are. Oh, that was like when I got to meet MK and EK in person for the first time. Oh yeah, man. Michael Klein, dude. God, we gotta we gotta get him back on. He's a trip.
Starting point is 01:42:24 I love. Yeah, I gotta get that. Dude god we got it. We got to get him back on Yeah, I got a good I had made them heiny hankies I Yeah, that is the most Jay Ferg thing of all right there it is I know Do you breezy you remember that cuz yeah, yeah, I'm that is the Yeah, it's probably Charlotte breezy is coming from Alberta. Yeah Yeah, so sharing direction right right? Yeah You think the rich I think Jan Emore picks up Ryan at the airport. She's coming from Charlotte. So She's our our bug out bag and, and EDC, every EDC, everyday carry stuff. She does a great job.
Starting point is 01:43:54 Oh, she's the winemaker, the little, the little old winemaker too. There's so many, man. And so when you talk about people doing so making, soap making, yeah. You know, it's crazy. Yes. Breezy hit me up on element. I got you boo boo. There you go.
Starting point is 01:44:12 There you go. The makings of a new prepper camper. You might get, I'm telling you what though, you're in danger of having to come every year because it's one of those things you get plugged in. It's hard to unplug. It's tough. It really is. It's, it's an addiction. It is a little bit. It's a of those things. You get plugged in, it's hard to unplug. It's tough. It really is. It's an addiction.
Starting point is 01:44:28 It is a little bit. It's a healthy one too. It is, I was actually about to say that's the one kind of addiction that you should have. Right? You get tied in, it's nice. Well, I don't know that we can beat this horse for another hour to be honest with you.
Starting point is 01:44:45 What do you think in terms of Prepper Camp talk? I mean, if we want to veer off, that's one thing, but we've got about an hour left. Yeah, I think we've even even with veering off. I think it would be good. We just make sure to re-mention Prepper Camp as a plug every so often. I mean, if you want to hang, we can hang. We can see what the hell's going on in the world. I'm sure we could cover an hour.
Starting point is 01:45:08 No problem. And we could tie it into the glasses. That's an easy one, right? The Gallup poll says American pride slips to a new low. I find that hard to believe. American pride. The great big, beautiful bill. Jay Ferg, what are your thoughts on that?
Starting point is 01:45:25 Have you thought about that at all the big old build? It's gonna fix everything Trump's big bill Think it's a I haven't I haven't actually looked into it What does the bill entail? Oh, it's just one of those same old kind of thousand page, four trillion dollar bills that politicians put together. You know what I mean? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:45:57 I'm sure there's plenty of things that's going to benefit. You know, it'll be four trillion for some things that are good. Um, but there is a big AI initiative in government inside of it. There was a big. I think they're pushing AI too much. I mean, AI has gotten so bad that it's like everything you see is like, you can't believe what you see anymore. Yeah. That's the value of, I mean, as much AI as I see just scrolling through Instagram or X or and it's just like
Starting point is 01:46:27 What what the hell man? Yeah one of these days what I would love to do is To have us to take a prepper camp esque Event on the road and I think it it will happen. I do think it will happen Because we're in you and I now and Dave Joe. There's so many of us who are close. I Almost thought about it the other day like block parties
Starting point is 01:46:57 Like doing like block parties at neighborhoods that where people even almost like pop-up camps For real. Yeah, something like that. Something like that where people could come out... Because that's where these events shine and I think where things in the future will shine is in seeing flesh and blood people. It's got to go that way. If the internet gets so bogged down with fake people, AI-driven people... You have to put the human element back into it.
Starting point is 01:47:27 You have to have something that is tangible and physical and real just to be able to. Yeah, the most valuable thing will be, oh, there's gonna be a bunch of people doing this talk and we can go see them. We know what I mean? It's not on our phone. It's on our TV. I don't have to guess if what they're saying is fake or not or if they're fake or not. It's like they're here. And that's what camp is. It's physical. It's real. It gives you a point. But yeah, I think you're right. People need to see that this isn't just some made up algorithm that's just generated spitting out absurdities. Right. Well, it becomes a weird problem for new listeners to new podcasts and new viewers to new YouTube channels and things like that.
Starting point is 01:48:18 Like our established audience, they know us and they will always know it's us and They know us and they know they will always know it's us and not AI but when do we reach that like, you know that valley where we Where so much content is being produced and you can't tell like this guy I watch and have been watching Is he real? Real guy, you know I've been seen AI being an issue on a smaller scale before it became this scale is on Etsy and Trying to buy patterns or even looking up crochet patterns
Starting point is 01:48:55 AI is being used so heavily to generate these images that the patterns are being sold and they don't match or aren't even a usable pattern. So it's like the scam level has already started at a very high degree that people aren't realizing these aren't actual pictures or these patterns that they're getting are useless. And you've just spent five to twenty dollars on these patterns. And yes, it may not seem like much even for a dollar pattern, but that adds up and if you scam You know 10,000 people for a dollar. That's
Starting point is 01:49:30 $10,000 you've just made off of false information. I'll tell you what My earliest experience with AI's downside It was in writing and I was writing for a prominent company in the prepping world. I can't tell you who they are. They'll lock me up in a gulag, but prominent company. And they were asking all the writers to see what this chat GPT was capable of and query it with things about their stuff that they sell and all that kind of stuff. And I found out that when AI, and it might be better now.
Starting point is 01:50:06 I don't know. I haven't played with it like that recently. But I found out that when AI doesn't know something, it lies to get the job done. Because it was lying about this piece of equipment that it thought was a water filter and it wasn't a water filter. I queried it to say, write me, you know, 500 words about this
Starting point is 01:50:27 particular product and tell me about it. And instead of saying, we're not really sure what this thing is. It just went into a whole diatribe about how it will filter your water and it will, you know, 0.9 Mike nine, nine, whatever, you know, all the different things. And I'm sitting there reading it and going like wow This just made this whole thing up and it's wrong and then I couldn't stop thinking about people who are like You like you'd like in your situation. They're like, oh create me a pattern and the AI is like I don't know how to do that
Starting point is 01:50:58 But I'll give you some shit that doesn't work well and the fact that people are using that as a cover to be able to make money, they're using it for the scam factor. But then we're seeing AI being used in corporate industries, in the healthcare system, which bothers me more than anything that we have AI coming in to be the ones who are transcribing orders versus a person. And have you ever read a doctor's handwriting? I don't trust a computer to read it, let alone anyone outside of that doctor to read it. I mean, it's just one of the things where now then a lot of remote jobs are hiring people to
Starting point is 01:51:40 program the AI. But then what do you do for those situations when you run into the issue of, well, what happens when that program has an error and then keeps regenerating an error versus having a, then you have to have a person come and fix it. So it's just the whole factor of trying to remove people to save money, which is what our corporation is doing, but at the same time, you're really hindering what type of level of care these patients are going to get if it auto-populates or transcribes the order and the order is wrong. Or I mean, the transcription is wrong from the order. Well, there's a huge section in the quote unquote big, beautiful bill that is all about
Starting point is 01:52:23 the AI in government initiative and I Didn't think government could suck worse than it does already, but I'm kind of interested to see how bad it could get with AI What do you think about? Trillion dollar thing yeah the the thing where where the states can't, they want a 10-year moratorium on any state or local laws, you know, banning AI. I think we're looking at Terminator. I really do. It feels like that. I think we're looking at Skynet and Terminator happening.
Starting point is 01:53:00 You know, so no, I'm not for that at all. And basically, for anybody that's a content creator, they're saying that AI, in order to learn, can steal all your stuff, steal all your copyrighted material, use it, and regurgitate it back to people without having to pay for it. regurgitated back to people without having to pay for it. And, you know, that's, I just think that's wrong. I mean, my whole life was in intellectual property with from between, you know, doing television stuff and commercials and that kind of thing to getting new products and putting them on the market. So, you know, the thing that makes America different than so many other countries is that
Starting point is 01:53:49 that is a piece of property that you own and you're giving up your rights to it if this bill goes through. So I'm, I don't know. I think it could be a Supreme court fight too. Oh yeah, states rights. There's a lot of content creators that one. Yeah. Well, state's rights and individual rights, you know, you, you as a content creator, you're not getting anything and you created it and they're trying to
Starting point is 01:54:13 steal that from you too. So yeah, I'm adamantly against that. Okay. It's one of those things. I mean, maybe it has its place somewhere, but I, outside of calculations and things like that, I just haven't really seen much out of AI that really blows me away. You know what I mean? Well, I think I'm seeing a big issue of this newest generation. When we had to stay up and write an essay, we actually had to write an essay and we had to sit there and resource it and everything else. And now seeing this younger generation can't figure out how we set up and did essays without chat GPT.
Starting point is 01:54:54 And it's like, what? You're cutting corners. So you know, let's make more sheeple. Let's make more sheeple. Exactly. It's dumbing down a mass society so they follow the lead. Yeah. I mean, that's the reality of kids, though.
Starting point is 01:55:13 You almost, I mean, you can blame them, but you almost can't blame them because I don't know any. I didn't go to school with hardly anybody who wouldn't have used it. Right. But where's the rules and the limitations? There is a point where you want children to have an education, then make them actually work.
Starting point is 01:55:29 We had to work. Remember when we had to have our encyclopedias and still reference to them just on basic information? Well, that really is the big concern with AI for me. It's not so in the short term. Maybe in the long term, God-like powers, things like that. But in the short term maybe in the long term, you know godlike powers things like that But in the short term it really is what do you do with all the people? You know what? I mean?
Starting point is 01:55:52 If you're if you're giving way this damn of people who have no skills and no competency They can't read they're coming out of high school because the high schools pass them. They can't go into the workforce Right, and then they exactly they hit oh they come up against a workforce that's like, we don't really use people anymore, so, good luck, you know what I mean? And then you have all these people. That's the reason for these vaccines. Right? That's it. That's it, limit the workforce via vaccines.
Starting point is 01:56:22 Just get rid of the useless eaters, and the world will be a better place. Abominable intelligence from Savage Valley Homestead. That's Warhammer lingo, you know. I don't know if you know that. But yeah, that's one of my biggest concerns in the short term, is the civil unrest and the chaos that seems to be Unstoppable because people are not going to be able to have jobs and that kind of thing David from X writes us a paragraph about AI Says it will be like nukes if we don't use it our enemies will and we will be destroyed
Starting point is 01:57:00 Militarily economically or otherwise will have to learn how to use it while not being a slave to it Yeah, that I mean there will be people capable of that, David, but what makes me, what I worry about is the millions or more of people who will become completely enslaved to it. I mean, there's people dating it already. These girls dating it and guys dating it already. It's not even good. Can you imagine when it's good? Oh, your room and, yeah, the people are losing the ability to actually socially interact. I saw, what was it? I think there was an interview, I think it was with Jordan Peterson talking about how sex is on the decline because of the fact that AI is there, that people are using artificial
Starting point is 01:57:42 intelligence and pornography and everything else, that they're losing the human factor and connection that it reprograms the brain chemically that then they can't actually sustain a healthy human relationship which is needed for us to even function as people? I will just make the babies in tubes. Hey, I'll figure it out. Didn't you see? No, no, no. Didn't you already see China has an artificial is it
Starting point is 01:58:05 China or Japan? One of the Asian countries has an artificial uterus that they have already successfully grown animal fetuses into viable animals. And now they're actually looking at using it for human fetuses. Yeah, what's the fun in that? What's the fun in that? Right. And what's edited, edited DNA and everything else. Nothing good comes of this. Have we the Yeah, it's a good way to look at it. That is a good way to leverage the AI really well. I mean, I hate to say it, but these cultures and countries that are doing this are performing their own eugenics. Yeah, it's like I said, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:58:57 That is the question for humanity. We've had a lot of inventions and a lot of crazy fads and things take root and we figured our way around them. I wonder if this is the one that we run up against and we can't, we can't overcome it. You know what I mean? Maybe God will throw us a worldwide EMP solar flare and we'll just all go back
Starting point is 01:59:21 to growing our own food, agrarian society and people trading. What is it? Darwinism at its best? Well, it may not be God, you know, it may be a, you know, like I'm talking about all these people who are not going to have jobs and lives are going to be ruined. I'm sure there'll be Luddite like factions of people that are like, well, blow the grid up, just blow the whole grid up and then they, I can't do what it does anyway.
Starting point is 01:59:49 But they're going to put it into that too. I think the, uh, that's the problem. Everybody's gotten so comfortable with modern conveniences and being able to go and purchase it that people have lost the basic skill sets just for basic things. Yeah. They're not hungry yet though. There's nobody hungry in America. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:00:07 Our poor people are weighed the two times what I weigh, and they're five inches shorter. So you gotta really get hungry before that kind of thinking comes into play. What really gives it away is go into the clothing section of, we'll just say Walmart, and go into the clothing section of, we'll just say Walmart and go into the pants section for the men's department and you know how many size 44 thirties it's like everybody is short and round.
Starting point is 02:00:36 Like what the hell? I don't, I don't understand. I always used to feel so sorry for ladies because you know girls. Everything's large trying to find something in my size is what wasn't that I found out that and this is not news but it was news to me at the time when you find out like oh your your girl buys a size one here and a size two here and they're saying right right like that and you're
Starting point is 02:01:05 like what kind of nonsense is that and now it's like that for t-shirts like you'll but like for dudes because they try to hide the belly or whatever they do with the t-shirts now and so you buy a medium and it can be like this you know what I mean or you buy so it's been changed with the underwear I've noticed over the years by an underwear for my partner is, large used to be a certain range, and now, and be like, okay, we'll just get an extra large and that would fit like, typically used to fit like a 34
Starting point is 02:01:37 or 36 waist. No, extra large covers a 44 up. And I'm just like, whoa, when did the sizes change so drastically that? I mean, I see it across the board, but I actually buy a lot of menswear because women's wear is so poorly made and so thin. It's not even funny.
Starting point is 02:02:00 So I wear men's Wrangler pants and it's like, it's just one of those things. Having a good decent pair of pants with pockets It's impossible to find in women's clothing everything so cheaply made and it costs twice as much Yeah, the bangladesh special You guys got over there. Yeah, it's rough Yeah, I worry about I'd rather pay 22 pairs for uh 22 dollars for a pair of jeans Wrangler jeans that I know are gonna hold up versus me going to wear Buying a 22 pair of $22 pair of women's jeans that have no pockets My phone's gonna fall out the back pocket and the second I squat too hard after a month
Starting point is 02:02:40 You're gonna rip out. So yeah, no way Men have better reinforced seams I Were like I almost exclusively what now we're either jogging pants or tactical pants So they're both and that's where I'm at. I wear Or I wear men's Tactical pants I have the Wrangler pants. Yeah. Or I'm wearing men's sweatpants right now. Oh, that's the best. You're the best for men and women.
Starting point is 02:03:11 Women's clothes are so stinking thin. It's so weird, right? But it's that weird leggings thing. You know what I mean? It's that thing. It's that like, let's make it as thin as possible. So she's basically naked. Right. It's like a dude is making them all. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:03:30 Right. They want it. They want the clothes painted on. Right. And women's pockets are fashionable. But I live on a homestead. And even before a homestead, I have a life where I need pockets. I need to know my pocketknife's not going to fall.
Starting point is 02:03:44 I actually threw a fit because the other day I put on a pair of my women's jeans and I tried to put my everyday pocketknife in my pocket and it kept falling out. Then I'm like, oh, screw this. And went and grabbed my cargo pants and put on my men's cargo pants because it's like, I have like 12 pockets and I use every single one of those pockets It's either that or you need like one of them aprons with the 50 pockets on the front Yes, but an apron is gonna get in a way after a while especially if I'm out doing yard work because I keep my pockets when I'm out in the yard kids when I'm Out in the garden or the coop area
Starting point is 02:04:20 I have the two little small side pockets that I actually will stick the eggs in my pocket until I can make it back up to the hill. I always thought that it would be fun and funny and you're more than welcome to steal this idea or anybody who's listening because I don't have time to do it. I always thought it would be fun or funny to create like a legitimate plate carrier homestead style. You know what I mean with like all your homestead gardening tools and the place for the eggs. So I actually got a couple of grenade pouches from old Grouch. He's now on whatnot. He's doing auctions on there. And I got the little grenade pouches that I can clip onto my carrier.
Starting point is 02:05:04 That would be perfect for the eggs. Yeah, that would be great. Yeah. I would love to see that home steady tactical plate carrier, you know, I got them for my, my, my rig set up so I can carry smaller. I have certain things I want to be able to carry specifically on my rig that I don't need a huge pocket for. I got you. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, it's like you said at the beginning of the show,
Starting point is 02:05:29 you got to make it work the way you want to make it work. You know, that's the thing. And that's, you know, that's at the heart of what sort of artificial intelligence goes against. You know what I mean? It's not it's so on the other side of individuality Because it's literally from it's pulling from the most popular things You know to create whatever the hell it's creating So you lose that sort of wacky? individualistic I Don't know, you know just
Starting point is 02:06:00 My son was showing me human factor Well, you definitely use that. Yeah, you definitely lose that But we're losing that in a bunch of ways now We've been losing that yeah simplification of things the modern convenience I mean, I've always said complacency is a killer and we're seeing more and more complacency now now, especially now People need to get off their asses and start prepping. I don't know how to say it. I can say it nice all day long, but until people start putting in an effort, I mean,
Starting point is 02:06:35 things don't get better. Yeah. And the problem is, like, to your point, I think, I think the world would change dramatically if people started down the same path that you and I are on and so many others here, you know, because you, you naturally start to pull away from insane amounts of technology or technology that doesn't serve you. You find over time that you pull away from certain things just on your own.
Starting point is 02:07:03 It's like the natural progression of things. Exactly. You find that once you start prepping, oh, I don't need to rely on this as much as I have, or oh, OK, I don't. You know what, for me, natural progression of things is pulling away from a lot of modern conveniences in the grocery store because now I can just
Starting point is 02:07:24 make it or grow it myself. Oh yeah, yeah that's huge. That's a huge one. That's one of the most freeing things is when you learn how to make a bunch of things that you've been buying forever from scratch. Or even if you make one thing, you know? Yes, well and it serves a purpose. It doesn't have to be the prettiest thing if it works. So, you know, that's like me, winter wear, hats, scarves, mittens. I don't buy those. I mean, I make them for my household. Why would I go and spend? Yes, I could go buy a bunch of throw awayable pair for what, a dollar, two dollars now.
Starting point is 02:08:00 And what's the point in it when I know the quality of what I'm making I know the fiber It's made of and it's wool. My family's going to be warm That's it. That's the scent that's on point David Yeah, yeah David in chat says at this point if you don't have a reason to prep you won't So much has happened the last 10 20 years. I don't know what will wake you up if you have not woken up yet David is speaking the language. Go ahead. Oh No, no, no David is right on because the thing is is what's sad is the number of people as soon as things go sideways Whether it be, you know
Starting point is 02:08:39 Catastrophic worldwide or individual be like man. I should have done this. I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like,
Starting point is 02:09:00 I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to for like if we were going out to an audience of new people all the time Trying to convince them if it weren't for like the members and the longtime listeners here That's exactly doing it. That's yeah That's the mindset that you get into because even on even with all that we have here at PBN I get in that mindset sometime that David's talking about like what am I gonna get on here and say today? because
Starting point is 02:09:24 If you ain't prepping now you never gonna do it it's it's insane but you know I'll be honest with you David. I still encourage people to just try, try even if it's only just a couple extra cans of food or a couple extra bucks put up yeah something is better than nothing yeah the government is not here to save you and the the truth is at least once per year, at least once, sometimes there's a lot more than that, but at least once per year, I get an email from somebody who's done some things and they're so glad they found PBN, you know, and they're new and they're one of these, they're
Starting point is 02:10:00 one of these unicorns out there. That's like, they, they just finally got around to it. And because they finally got around to it, we made a big difference in their life because we were here. And they found us and they're like, oh, cool. These people know what the deal is. Oh, thanks, David.
Starting point is 02:10:20 Appreciate that. Right? I was like, aw. Thank you, David. Yeah, definitely. It goes a long way, David. Appreciate that. Right? I was like, oh, thank you, David. Yeah, definitely. It goes a long way, man. Those little things go a long way for the host and myself. The bond, I feel like even though I'm on this end of it, the relationships I've made with
Starting point is 02:10:39 quite a few of our listeners and the listeners we've lost over time. Yeah. of our listeners and the listeners we've lost over time. And you know, the heartbreak is we had a listener who passed away a month ago that I was literally just talking to a couple months before that and just broke my heart. But it's like this is it though. We build a bond, we build a kinship, we build a family or a community that we wouldn't get elsewise. I mean, where else in the world are we going to be able to connect with other people and carry conversations and be able to have subjects which we all know something on or can learn from each other?
Starting point is 02:11:19 I mean, if you're not a part of PBN, you should become a part of PBN. It's totally worth it. You get your own content. We have an element group chat, which is open to anyone who's even not a member. And we have channels and categories there that would just, it's mind blowing. We have a lot.
Starting point is 02:11:40 It is wild. It is wild over all the years, what we've done, Jay Ferrick, but to your point, it is a different thing. Like what we do is, is definitely a different thing than just hopping on and talking news, you know what I mean? Like it's different than a Tucker Carlson. It's different than a, even then it's like a Tim pool because a lot of times we press you guys to do more. So we're not just bringing you news and being like, I'm irate and here's some
Starting point is 02:12:10 secret information and you should be irate. You know what I mean? Like we, yeah, you're, we usually push people into these new lifestyles and, and there is a bond there. There's something different there than just giving you stuff to worry about you know like this is the bad news and good luck You know have oh, you know what? I can't I can't do the negative all the time I have no curls about show I'm I in my opinion even though my friends tell me I'm a prepping professional because I've been doing it so long in my eyes
Starting point is 02:12:42 I'm not I'm still constantly growing. I'm still constantly learning I have no quarrels about admit my errors or my mistakes and sharing them with everyone because if if I can give my mishaps to somebody and then it prevents them from having the same mishap Then so be it because sometimes we learn from mistakes, even if it's somebody else's. Oh yeah. The only thing that happens once you get like more prepared than most or more prepared than the average person, the only thing that's start, well, that's a bad one because you could do like four, four things tonight and be more
Starting point is 02:13:20 prepared than the average person. But the only thing that happens to people when they get really prepared is for me anyway I don't know if you feel this way Jordan, but for me, it's like I'm just juggling Whatever it is that year that I'm really into and putting focus on certain things You know what I mean? So it's like it's not that you just keep a rising tide going on on all of these different skills and all these different You know preps. I think everything has its focal point, but I just keep a rising tide going on on all of these different skills and all of these different,
Starting point is 02:13:45 you know, preps. I think everything has its focal point, but I'm still pretty spread out. So I will, I do want to say real quick on Victoria's set here and perfect. So many who have prepped for years, slow down and think, well, now we can relax because we have people in the office that are helping. On 2026, we have midterms and things can certainly go south. And that's what we say is we call it the Trump slump, regardless of what someone's opinions may be.
Starting point is 02:14:13 But it does run into an issue that people become complacent. And complacency is the killer because they think, ah, we're okay. No, if anything, the calm and smooth moments are the times you need to prep to it just as hard if not more Because those hard times are coming and you won't be able to get in ahead and the slow time and the hard times And then she says here we are blessed to have y'all and people like Rick and Jane to try and educate and push on We've only just begun Vicky. Yes Vickyicki, you're spot on. That's why we
Starting point is 02:14:46 we want people to come to Prepper Camp. That's why we push it is it's not because we're trying to line people's pockets because Rick doesn't make anything from this. He does it for the educational factor. Just like we don't make money from this podcast and we do it for the joy of it just like he does on educating people. It's to get people to come and realize there is more to everything other than watching a MacGyver show and thinking you can make something out of a pen and a paperclip. I'm sorry but yeah no you're 100% right just because Google says you can doesn't mean you actually can. 100% right just because google says you can doesn't mean you actually can yeah Gemini Gemini's got your back
Starting point is 02:15:31 Yes, yeah, what do I do? That now my phone has this stupid update if I hit the power button it automatically pulls up Gemini And I refuse to use it. I know I don't I don't need that I don't want that when did updates become to a point where I don't get to choose What is or isn't on my damn phone? Oh Yeah, yeah my my kids we used to have a blast with the Google Assistant Because the Google Assistant was you know, it was fun to play with one of the things my kids used to do on the Google Assistant that was the best is they would change my name and Then they and it was never nice. It was always hilarious and
Starting point is 02:16:10 Like they would never be like Superman, you know what? I mean? I mean like mmm, it's so funny and now you can't even call the Google You can't even say like hey Google and and it pops up with that weird robot I look out good does it does that on my car? pops up with that weird robot. Oh, look out. Can I help you? It does that on my car. If I say, hey, Google, dial so-and-so.
Starting point is 02:16:29 But then if I try to call you, like when I try to call you and I'm driving, hey, Google, it's such a pain in the ass sometimes because I have to put it in. I've kept your contact the same since for the last, has it been eight years? Probably. Probably been like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:16:46 We're getting close to a decade for sure. Maybe longer. Right. And so it's, it's still James last name. I am Liberty. Yeah, that's great. That's the thing that's disappeared. If I don't read it right, it won't dial you.
Starting point is 02:17:01 Oh, you can't read that many words to it either. That's damn near impossible. That's damn near impossible That's damn near made a good comment of I think Trump will make it better than Kamala would have but we are still on a bad Path as a nation he or the government will not say it save us and that's what we try to tell people It's I think yes, he's doing great. There are things that could always be improved. But here's the thing yes, he's doing great. There are things that could always be improved. But here's the thing. He is not the end all be all save everything button. It's just not how it works. There are always going to be other people, other forces, other entities trying to remove and make things harder on us. So it's during these good times, it's during these most few moments you can take
Starting point is 02:17:41 a breath that you need to work twice as hard because it's it's not always going to be rainbows and sunshine it's just not life is and it's not that i try to be pessimistic and this is where i think you and i i this is the part where i love your personality because i feel like you are very optimistic happy i do my best best in people and I love that about you and sometimes I feel so bad because I feel like I'm a bit of a pessimist because I'll be like No, James. No It's because of this it's not because of this like I see what you're wanting and you're hopeful But no and it's not to be ugly, but it's just on the I don't know I need it
Starting point is 02:18:26 but it's just on the... I would love to be optimistic, but at the same time, I have seen such bad sides of the world and such bad sides of people that I'm just like, I would rather work on the side of caution than to get my hopes up. Get the shield up. And then I feel like I'm harsh to you, but because I'm like, I want to protect you. Oh, no, it's good. I know you don't need it, but I'm that friend who you don't get to be mean to my friends. I might be an asshole, but no one else gets to be mean to my friends. No, I need it.
Starting point is 02:18:55 I just don't ever want to see sadness or bad things come for my friends with what they're doing. Yeah, I know the feeling. Trust me. Because there's been times you've called me Hey, I haven't told anyone i'm calling you. What do you think? I'm like you want honest opinion. Yes Okay. Well here it is and then laying it all out It goes a long way for someone like me and you know, it's you gotta have those people in your life, man, especially I didn't like
Starting point is 02:19:24 I didn't imagine doing this but we're doing this now right this pbn intrepid commander thing and you know it's easy for people to be like yeah go ahead or yes that's a great idea you know what i mean do it you're the guy who's running the ship so we're not going to say anything so you gotta have people to have people like like Jordan in your life. Yeah, I play devil's advocate. Yeah, I have. I mean, I literally you're more valuable because of that than 10 people who I can call up and they say, oh, you're such a great, brilliant idea. You should do it. Nothing will go wrong. You know what I mean? But I also call myself the hemorrhoid because even if I'm not there, I'm a pain in your
Starting point is 02:20:05 ass. I'm going to remind you a hundred times on something even minuscule of, hey, you said you were going to do this. Where are you standing on? I mean, what I should have done, Jordan, to be honest, to really give you the value that you do is I should have kept a running tally of what things we accomplished because Jordan wouldn't let up. You know what I mean? Because there's a list. I'm still working on it. I read it. It's a legitimate one to happen. It's been six years,
Starting point is 02:20:33 but I'm going, it's going to happen. I think about it almost once a week, literally. I think about it almost once a week. Every two days at least. Yeah, I sit there and I have ideas I should write them down, but I'm like this man is so busy that I feel bad when I bring more stuff to Look, it's gonna hit a pile of shit and it's gonna be there and either I'm gonna get to it or I'm not and at least Right my biggest thing is be, put it in your notebook. Oh, that's the key. Yeah, well, if you say that.
Starting point is 02:21:08 Put it on the list. I need it on the list. And that's usually, it's like, all right. You're like, oh, I did, but I didn't get to it. OK, we'll write it on tomorrow's list. That's a 90% increase in chance that I'll at least get to it at some point. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 02:21:22 The list is the way to go. The magic book. I would be Yeah human to say the least right well Like I always said you you started all that though Jordan you were the first literally that I ever heard that Did a show and admitted something went wrong. The literally the whole time I was on PBN, I listened to people and I even did it, uh, say this is what you need to do and this is how you need to do it. And that was fundamentally prep a radio for a long time and nothing wrong with it.
Starting point is 02:22:00 We got a lot of great information, a lot of great shows that way, but you created a whole new kind of genre for people. And I think that you opened up like a lot of different people's ears because you came on that one year and said my garden got washed out and eaten up by ants. Oh, it was and so it was a tropical storm berry and I was up to my mid calves in water. Yep. Yeah. I remember up to my mid calves in water. Yep. Yeah. I remember listening to that show and feeling like discomfort for you. Like I was like, I can't believe that she's saying this on the air.
Starting point is 02:22:37 And then I realized that it was such a crazy ego trip of my own. And I was like, what the fuck are you talking about? What are you supposed to pretend nothing bad ever happens? We run into errors. And it's like, so all the time, prime example, prime example right now, I ordered several months back, I pre ordered sweet potato slips, because I love sweet potatoes. Like that's one of my favorite things to grow. You can eat the leaves you can you have the roots. And I ordered them and they never showed
Starting point is 02:23:06 up. I'm like, oh, okay. Well, maybe I late ordered them and they'll be back. They'll be in next year. No, I received them two days ago. I'm like, oh, shit. I have them in a cup of water so the roots will keep going. Yeah. But now I have to figure out, oh crap, I have to now definitely do a container but now I need to figure out some sort of greenhouse because by the time they start producing sweet potatoes or enough greens to eat, we're going to be going into the colder months. Yeah. Like they grow fast, don't get me wrong, but
Starting point is 02:23:47 grow sweet potatoes specifically, more or so the potatoes themselves. And it's like, wow, we're going into July and I just now getting my sweet potato slips. And it's like, that's going to be a hell of a late harvest. And it's like, how do I navigate this now? So I have now a whole new factor of how to, and it was literally right after my podcast, I got them and I'm like, oh no. Like I literally was like, shit. Okay. What can I do?
Starting point is 02:24:21 But roll with the punches and see what we can do. So now I'm going to see what I can grow grow try to build some sort of makeshift greenhouse as well as see what I can bring inside As container garden in a very limited space Yeah Yeah, I mean that like I said that is more that's more what it's about than anything You know that? Shit, I mean if yeah if you if you hung out in my garden over the last 10 years you would say that I mean I've done almost every
Starting point is 02:24:51 kind of crazy gardening thing a person can do because it is like yeah but it but it is it is and speaking of which real quick we are getting down below the last below 30 minutes to be able to get your tickets before the prices go up. That's it. Freezy. I hope you've been looking at those airline tickets. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 02:25:12 Yeah. We've got 72 people watching. I know somebody out there wants to get that Prepper Camp ticket before the price goes up. Got to get it. Yes. Got to get it. Come say hi to us. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:25:23 Or not. See the whole person. Debatable. All right. I, say hi to us. Yeah. Or not scary in person. Yeah. Debatable. All right. I, I, that's a lie. I'm loud. Depends on how much sleep you got the night before.
Starting point is 02:25:35 All right. No, I don't know. I think I'm just scary in person anyways. I, and I'm short. I'm only five foot two. This big giant personality for this tall little woman. You're like a, like a short boxer. I'm only five foot two this yeah You're like like a short boxer you get inside real fast and before you know it right oh she's here Right Yeah, cuz I I have no cruel. I'm not I'm not shy. I mean that's one thing is my personality is not
Starting point is 02:26:02 Not little one mama bear. I am very protective of my friends, very protective of, because I've even told James, like James, Ryan, all of them, they're family. I'm very protective. Hey. But I love my people. I don't think, I don't know. I'm trying to think out it like
Starting point is 02:26:29 What has been one of your favorite prepper camp moments? Oh Definitely one of the best is always the PBM podcast where we all gather together and do our thing But I do you know the morning the mornings on retail row are great, too You know what? I mean when we all wake up and we're all getting the booths together and we're all, you know what I mean, polishing up everything and getting ready and then everybody comes walking down and we're doing our thing. The group photo is always great.
Starting point is 02:26:58 You know, when we gather a little group photo by the lake. We didn't get one last year. That well, you know, a few things to worry about. Yeah. I think we were all trying to figure out how to get home. Right. Yeah. There's a few priorities.
Starting point is 02:27:13 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and well, you know, it's, you know, there are other great memories too, are those connections that happen at Prepper Camp, those things that come up, you know, new, new shows, new hosts, new ideas, that kind of stuff. That stuff take when that stuff like organically happens at night after a long day. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:27:38 And then something comes to life and then like, you look back three years later and you're like, Jesus, that all happened like over a brisket and a whiskey and a laugh. Now it's a bear meat. Bear meat and a shot. Yeah, along those lines, right? Yeah. All that happened then and there and now it's a two-year running show or whatever. Well, look at the bunker beans from Disaster Coffee came out of a conversation with wind
Starting point is 02:28:05 from Prepper Camp, you know, and now we've been selling those things for I don't know, 2019 or something. And they're great. And the fact that you can roast them and the fact that people don't realize that the roast actually determines the amount of caffeination. Like if it's dark roast, it's a lighter, it's less caffeine than if it's a light roast. So it's just the information and everything that goes about it in the shelf life. Is it 30 years? Oh, I mean, how long is it on the green? If you pack the green beans up Mylar style.
Starting point is 02:28:38 Well, let me give you the real deal. So the idea behind them was just that. When Parkinson told me you can pack up green coffee beans Just like rice 20 year shelf life and I said Longer than already roasted coffee because he has a very short shelf life in comparison Yeah, there's a chemical reaction that happens and then flavor dies from then on and probably the caffeine too. I don't know about the caffeine but anyway, I could tell you that I have bunker beans that I roast that are five years old and Oh, wow, they roast up fine coffee's great, you know, and this is not in a mylar bag
Starting point is 02:29:20 This is like just hanging out in the pantry a bag that I work out of you know what I mean? Yeah, so there it is an amazing way to do coffee if you can wrap your head around the roasting part, which Which didn't you do a video you can roast in the oven? Yeah, I do them in the oven. I always have done them. That was wasn't that a members content one? I just did a I think I just did a like a short form for the Disaster Coffee Instagram not long ago. But I should do a more in-depth one. Which for those of you who are just popping in,
Starting point is 02:29:56 who are not a part of PBN, we do have members only videos with different things. I know I've sent you a video, but I don't think it ever made it to the members only where I was I was I don't remember I don't remember ever seen it in the members hungry for that members content from other creators so I feel like I would have definitely posted it not unless it was if it wasn't on your list. Oh that's over there. Depending on the week that is a good point.
Starting point is 02:30:32 Well I'll find it. You've got a full-time family and household just like I do. Oh yeah. Oh yeah it's non-stop. Oh okay. Yes it's funny that you say that because we have been talking about this for a while Like this is not a new comment of guys, you know what we pepper camp challenge boys Actually, we need a PB and challenge. We do need a PB and yeah And that is something we have been talking about how we've mentioned it off and on for a while. Like yeah Yeah, our lifetime members. I thought about that. How could I make that happen?
Starting point is 02:31:05 Yeah. Yeah. But the challenge coin is good too, because you could really get people doing some cool stuff to earn that coin. I bet. You know what I mean? Yeah. That they would really benefit from. I've got to go back on to working on some of the merch because I really still want to do the country nut crunchy. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. We got got to work because I met I met more crunchy people out here and I'm just like, I
Starting point is 02:31:31 Love it. I think it's a great I think there is no limit to the Cranking out of the t-shirts, you know what? I mean, it's just really easy for me to do we get the design to the listeners and viewers. What merch would you like to see more? Uh, yeah, that's a great question. Stickers, shirts, mugs. What, what would tickle your fancy that you would be more apt to buy? Like I'd be totally curious to see and, and fit those needs on there.
Starting point is 02:32:01 We need a goose guns, right? Shirt for Canada. Good. Did I say wrong We need a goose guns right shirt for Canada. Goose gun? Like a G-O-O-S-E gun? Goose gun rights. Goose? Goose? Hey, you explained it to me on Element. We'll make it happen. Right. But yeah, to David and the other listeners if you're still here feel free Tell us if there is any merch you'd like to see what you'd like to see I would love to fit it to this She said she needs a good gun rights shirt for Canada good Oh good
Starting point is 02:32:42 Because of the Canadian geese Hey, I was I was trying to figure out what a Canadian goose gun was I was like Like an old musket or like the cartoons with the wide barrel you black powder for the geese out there. I Had no idea Yeah, that would be cool gun right shirts for Canada. I could see that being kind of cool. That would be fun We gotta get him back. I know Tim. I don't know. He's been so busy I think Tim is living the good life and he's happy living it You know what? I can't blame him his girls are growing up his family's yeah, I can't blame him
Starting point is 02:33:22 Miss him, but I can't blame him. No. Yeah his show was fun, man I did I don't even know if he does he do it or not anymore I'm not sure I think so So nine under 20 minutes left if you're going to get your tickets before they go up and it's countdown is coming Thanks for staying with me Jay Ferg for two and a half hours. I think it's worth it. I think Prepper Camp is a great thing. I'm going to promote it with every breath I have. I think it's a moment that everyone should take a part of, honestly.
Starting point is 02:33:57 It's really made PPN a real flesh and blood thing. Yeah, because it's one place that almost all of us are able to go to. And I know Dane and his wife had every intentions of being able to go, but they were in the middle of a move. Oh yeah. They've been busy for years busy with that. But yeah, I think that PBN would be a different thing without Prepper Camp. It wouldn't be the same thing because the likelihood, first of all, that we would meet period many of the hosts is pretty
Starting point is 02:34:30 low and then the likelihood that we meet together, you know, with for such an event Oh absolutely and I don't think Doug is actually Doug's not making it this year Oh he's not coming? Oh man. I think his better half will be there. No, no, one of his family members is getting married or something. Oh, I don't know. He's got a family, a family thing going on. I love them guys, man. I love the Rising Republic. That was that's that's become a great show here on PBS. It is. It's been a devastate Christopher though, because like Doug and Ryan are his like wilderness man crushes Yeah, and they're not Injuries yeah, he said those are the dangers duo He's like God he goes he's very very very confident in his masculinity and he's like, yeah, they're kind of hot He wanted to be the the cream in that Oreo for the picture. Right.
Starting point is 02:35:27 You get like him and Doug and Ryan on either side. Watching Ryan like tie all these knots. He goes, oh, you're like a manly man wilderness man. He goes, yeah, that's hot. Ryan's great, man. Ryan's got some great skillsets. Yeah. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 02:35:45 If you have not met him, you have to meet him. This man travels with the smallest amount possible and still has the best setup. Like the hammocks and everything. I think Colin might be with him this year. Oh that would be cool. I'd love to talk to Colin. I hope so. Yeah. Such a great young man. That show man was a hoot.
Starting point is 02:36:06 That thing, the next generation, you can search it on a prepper broadcasting dot com or Spotify or iTunes. And the book they wrote. Oh, yeah. Point size Prepper projects. That's a summer book. That is a summer book. Especially if you want to do stuff with your children or even without your kids. If that's something you want to even try and you don't know where, try there.
Starting point is 02:36:30 Like it's a great book for basic beginning stuff. I love it. It's a great book for summertime. You got the kids at home. You know what I mean? You want to do something with them. There's some great projects in there. That's a good one. Yeah, I'm waiting on that second edition. I remember Ryan was talking about it. He was saying they were gonna do it. No, yeah That but I see I feel like he's we all get so busy because our lives on us achieving our our own Homesteads and everything keeps us tied. We're getting down to 15 minutes I'm excited. I hope I hope to see that people have bought some more tickets I would love to see the faces. I would love to meet these people. Oh
Starting point is 02:37:11 Yeah, man, I would imagine if you and yes, it's likely we do run into somebody that says We were on that countdown show you guys did You know, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary to run into somebody who says that you know, we're listening on that countdown show We bought our tickets that night Yeah, those are the kind of interactions you have at people at prepper camp. It's like that. It's a weird. It's a crazy thing It's yeah, I'll have people who had came up and all why you still you know I listen to your podcast before we became video side of it and it's like, oh, that's great You know meeting different people from different walks of life is
Starting point is 02:37:50 Phenomenal and then you think about the video jay fer I like it. Yeah, I don't mind it. Yeah, I don't mind it. Um You know, it's funny is based on how we start it without seeing ourselves and i'm just over here I'm i'm a hand talker I can't help it. I talk with my hands and Without the cameras on you know, the faces I make that the hand gestures everything else and then now Oh, yeah, people get to see I am just as animated as I sound and I make just as terrible faces With the camera on. So, you know, and that's like the other day I was doing my show and my son was right there
Starting point is 02:38:36 with me and he was fussy and it's kind of reminded me to the old days of a family affair. And it's like, you know, it's just a part of it. You know, podcasting with a toddler in real time is is just part of life with me. It's not going to stop. Yeah. Yeah. That whole family affair part two, you know, right. Except it's, it's one he's he's into things and we found out how easily you
Starting point is 02:39:03 can pull the pin from the fire extinguisher. Oh wow. And Saturday show and I'm just like, oh well it's good to know that he can pull it but there's no being able to put it back. And so I had to move the fire extinguisher because Kit is pretty interesting. But yes, I agree, salvage the PBN tube. I like that. Channel is a bigger audience if we had PBN too but oh there you go oh that's a great idea that's a great idea because you guys are doing great too man I love the chicken videos well you got so you had some really cool videos on the building of the woodshed and they that kind of stuff. It was good. You you got some awesome stuff going on
Starting point is 02:39:50 when I first saw the I was just gonna say when I first saw your channel breezy, I thought you were called the Savage Valley homestead and I was like man That's cool But I like, man, that's cool. But I'd like to. Yeah. Yeah. No, I was going to say I've been working on my, uh, my chicken coop that I had my other, other chicks in that now transitioned into the big area. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:40:17 And so today I've been working on that, doing repairs and it's like, I'm hoping I've got to get the chicks out of the house into the bigger brooding box, cause you know, chicks grow fast. Oh yeah. Yeah. And then get the four week old chicks out of the brooding box into the new, into the containment pen and the big run with the girls so they can get adjusted to each other before they get let loose.
Starting point is 02:40:42 Yeah. It's a different, it is a different Jordan in the country. The smile is different. It is a different. My Willow even said that she goes, oh, you look like happy Jordan again. Oh, I'm serious.
Starting point is 02:40:59 I am because I am very much a homestead and country gal. I am not a city person and it's nothing against the individuals who live in the city and like the city It's just not for me. I I feel like I was Wilton being in the longer I I stayed there the less I got to grow. Yeah Yeah, I think I for the neighbors the neighbors were trash man Wait, no, just. You hear this? No, just wait till you hear the full stories at camp. Oh, god.
Starting point is 02:41:29 It's raw. I mean, people are crazy nowadays. They are so self-centered. It's bananas. I mean, it really is. Trashy. Yeah. It's like, I never understand how grown women can walk out
Starting point is 02:41:43 of their house in their underwear and t-shirt Yeah, and just not no big deal. I don't know here. I am world live. We live in a neighborhood It's not like we live down at you, you know a country road or something, right? No, literally your house is not even 15 15 steps away from my house You're walking past four ring cameras, lady. No, she's intentionally walking past the front ring camera and then talking to the camera as she walked past because I had asked her to stop. She wore down a pack.
Starting point is 02:42:14 Yes. And then her living with her mother, who is a robust woman, walking outside, picking up packages in the same type of clothing. I'm just like, robust is my favorite word. Yeah, that is the best word for that I've ever heard in my whole life. Well, I could have said the real word of rotund. That's a good one. But robust. And yeah, so I'm glad to be in the country.
Starting point is 02:42:43 I don't have neighbors. I've never been a neighbor person. We're down to 10 minutes. Oh my goodness. 10 minutes, folks. Yes. It's a shame we don't have a little way of doing a confetti or fireworks on the side. We may actually. We may. What do these things do up here? Let's see. We got some weird media assets at the top that do stuff.
Starting point is 02:43:06 Welcome, Be Right Back, thank you. Yeah, maybe not. No, no. We need to see if we can find one where you can do a little fireworks, especially are we doing a fourth special? Oh, definitely. Yeah, we'll do a, I think we're going to go back to,
Starting point is 02:43:22 I'm glad you brought that up. I can bounce this off you while we're burning out the last 10 minutes, but I'm going to set up the 24 seven live like we do every year with the patriotic songs and all that stuff. I like that. It's always a blast. It's the only place I can find the stuff I want to hear. You know, we do like the Gettysburg address, we do the JFK speech
Starting point is 02:43:44 and that kind of stuff. And it's just, we put it on here at the house in the Gettysburg address. We do the JFK speech and that kind of stuff. And it's just we put it on here at the house in the background. It's perfect. And then, you know, colonial songs and that kind of stuff. But I think what I want to do with Rumble is get back to running the archives 24 seven like we used to. We can't do it 24 seven because you and I pop in and do shows. But right. You don't want to run a longer sort of in that dead space on rumble, just to. And I I've considered, I don't know how people would feel like when I'm out doing my morning chores, like actually sat on my phone
Starting point is 02:44:18 and recording some of it with a little bit of content and then posting it on rumble in the mornings. Oh, yeah. Why not? Do the story of the star spangled banner, says Victoria. and then posting it on rumble in the mornings oh yeah why not do this story at the Star Spangled Banner says Victoria oh I can't do that I cry I literally will get cry I'll get teary-eyed if I explain it Dave Jones did it to me I didn't really know this story and Dave Jones told me one day at his house and he started getting teary-eyed And then from then on every time I hear the Star Spangled Banner I get so emotional
Starting point is 02:44:57 Why don't we you set it up? I'll read it. You know, well record myself reading the story. How's that? That's a good idea That would be pretty cool. Oh, I would be happy to record that audio So then you can put it with whatever pictures or imagery and I'll be happy to do that. Yeah I love it. It's so weird that you can love a short little song like that so much. Every weird little thing that like we were at a water park in the outer banks a couple weeks ago and the one thing that they do at open is do the star spangled better and I'm sitting there watching the flag and I'm like, oh my god. Getting all choked up over thinking about cannon fire blowing up American soldiers and yeah but that is just it's I don't know it is beautiful the imagery everything. Oh yeah it's yeah it's America.
Starting point is 02:45:44 You know what I have realized though is funny Especially with the podcast and this camera is driving me insane how this is doing it my accent What do you mean? My camera affects your accent No, I know for a fact over time because I deal with so many patients and so many people, I turn my accent off for this. If you ever notice, when I'm at Prepper Camp and I'm in person or I have a couple of drinks,
Starting point is 02:46:15 I sound like Arkansan Jordan all day long and I sound like a little rep running around. Because I remember when you were at Prepper Camp, we were sitting at the table and Ryan Brian asked me, so do you get an accident when you drink or is it just helping you remove the high? The I forgot what he covered it the buffer is like, oh, it removes the buffer. Well, but you have a switch that is impressive, like a professionalism switch that I saw at Prepper Camp, like where we would be chatting and having fun and laughing, and someone come to your booth and you go into like, it's not even salesy, it's just professional. I don't know how else to explain it.
Starting point is 02:46:57 It's just like you're at the booth now and I'm professional Jordan, and I'm going to explain this shit to you the way it's supposed to be explained. Well, the way I see it is, if you're to explain this shit to you the way it's supposed to be explained. Well, the way I see it is if you're coming to my booth to talk to me, you deserve the attention and the focus on what you're asking. I mean, I've been to areas and shows and events where I've gone somewhere and I've just been kind of, you know, I mean, like the person didn't want to engage or didn't want to interact and that's not fair You know if someone comes up and talks to you, even if it may seem outlandish they want to learn or know something. Oh, yeah Yeah, it's in person. I mean, that's yeah, no, that's nerve-racking. I don't know again It's nerve-racking, especially if you're going up to somebody that you kind of like
Starting point is 02:47:44 What is it oh Especially if you're going up to somebody that you kind of like. They're so good at this story. What is it? Oh. Fridges. Sorry, yeah. It's true. I mean, most people have seen it. Five minutes.
Starting point is 02:47:53 Five minutes and counting, PBM family. Time is running out. Time is running out. Get PBM tickets before they go up. They will only continue to go up as the date gets closer. Yeah. So it's best to get them now and not later. And I'm going to tell you what, get it.
Starting point is 02:48:13 This is a small investment and a bigger investment for your future. That's it. That's how I've been telling it is literally you are investing in skill sets and in your future. Oh. And getting to meet people in the commodity, it's just astounding. Yeah, for the price, you're gonna pay 75 bucks for your ticket and some change.
Starting point is 02:48:33 Right. The one day at Prepper Camp, even if you can only make it a day trip, it's worth the cost of admission. One day, 60 classes. It really is. I mean, a day trip is worth it. And the longer you wait though, the harder it is to even find somewhere to rent, to camp, anything. Because the Airbnbs and hotels book up fast too.
Starting point is 02:48:56 Yeah, yeah 100%. Yeah. Well guys, if you're tuned in on YouTube, make sure you follow us and make sure you follow salvage Valley homestead. We're going to have a friendly race to a thousand subscribers. I'm very nervous. I'm not going to set up a YouTube. I think I may do it.
Starting point is 02:49:16 Why not? You can join the race. All right. I'm going to be behind. Oh, you'll catch up. Because I'm, I need to post more on X. I haven't been. I have YouTube, not YouTube.
Starting point is 02:49:30 I have Rumble, which I haven't been posting as much. I got to fix that. I have TikTok. I've been posting on an Instagram. Hey, that's good. Look at it this way. You do one. You could cut one clip from your show a week.
Starting point is 02:49:44 That's like four minutes or five minutes That's your weekend YouTube video and then you could run all your shorts to through YouTube. That would be enough people would watch The truth has a certain ring to it. Jay Fergie Hemingway said and you're good at that, you know, I Don't know sometimes I have shows where it's I feel like the two shows before this last Saturday We're phenomenal and on point and then this Saturday is like, uh But it happens. Sometimes we have live shows. Yeah, and other times it's just like Hmm. Yeah, we live in a world of we live in a world Jay Ferg of macro editing. You know what I mean? Like I don't edit anything though.
Starting point is 02:50:25 I don't take what I've done and run it through editing. You and I and all the PBN hosts that do live, we get on here and we just let it fly. Yeah. And it's amazing to pull it off. Yeah. And there for a while, our shows were whatever we did. We were not what we titled.
Starting point is 02:50:43 Yeah. Yeah. I'm good at that still to this day. I had a reputation for that for a long time. Yeah. And I love those. They're my favorite shows too, by the way. They do. Because sometimes that's when we get the most interaction and the
Starting point is 02:50:56 most involvement from everybody. Yeah. Sometimes you pull some good stuff out. Yeah. You know, out of, out of places you didn didn't know you pull out some ideas and some concepts Well, you know what we're up to 84 people right now 79 from x Five from prepper broadcast. I mean from youtube. I guess nobody from rumble You know what it never shows the rumble statistics on here anyways
Starting point is 02:51:23 So regardless, uh for those of you who are just popping in, if you're not preppers, what is something that you would like to hear in the future that would maybe get you interested in prepping? What skill set is it that you feel like you're lacking or that you would like to just know more about? Yeah, definitely. Let's hear it. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:51:43 Because, uh, we've got the firepower, man. We have the horsepower here at PBN. There's so many hosts. Oh, my God. And then the network outside of the hosts, there's just an expert for every damn thing you can think of that we know. And we all come from different walks of life. So if I'm not a good fit for you, somebody else probably is or
Starting point is 02:52:06 definitely is, you know. Dane's our gun guy. Dave's our... Dave is everybody's guy. I don't... I don't know what he was... Dave is for everyone. Yeah, there's no doubt about that. Dave is a special guy, man. And look... Oh man, 20... 25 seconds. Oh my god. You got to do it now if you're gonna do it you gotta do it now Get your ticket right now. It's gonna go up and even even if you do wait still get a ticket Still get a ticket to the proper camp This is not the end all beyond tickets But we want it to make sure we promote it something While it was still on the lower end.
Starting point is 02:52:45 And we're still going to promote it once it even goes up on the higher end, too. I have no idea what's going to happen when this timer ends. Right? Ta-da! Yeah, like there's no music. What the hell? That's that.
Starting point is 02:53:00 The timer has run. Holy crap. Yeah. You know, I really didn't think we were gonna do three hours tonight. I Did not think that you or Rick was gonna hang no, no, no, no, it was fun I just didn't think any of us were gonna make it. I thought we were gonna be like, okay long day Yeah, I mean I'm still gonna work but I'd just be a little tired. Who cares. Oh, yeah I could care less. You know, I will always have time for PBN
Starting point is 02:53:27 Always I'll always have time for reaching out to the listeners always it doesn't matter It could be two o'clock in the morning. I will you tell me hey, we're gonna do like a stupid early. All right Oh, yeah, yeah, but I'll be you are Consistently the first one when I say hey, we're gonna do a thing on a night Yeah, we're gonna do a thing Monday night. Yeah, we're going to do a thing Monday night. Who wants to do it? I'm down. That's the first thing I always say, I'm down. Yeah, that's right. That is right.
Starting point is 02:53:52 Well, that's the point is even if I don't put out a show every Saturday, I want to be consistent with prepper broadcasting in one form or another because- Oh, yeah. I mean, I like hearing myself talk, but I feel like I can contribute in content Oh, it's gonna be great jordan you I mean, I know you know, but god I'm so excited to see what you are doing I just can't wait to see what you're doing in three months. I can't wait to see what you're doing in six months
Starting point is 02:54:22 I mean, I will be recording content on on Sunday because I will be butchering rabbits. Look, this is what I'm saying. Yeah. This is what I mean. Yeah. I didn't even think to set up the camera when I was processing the turkeys and we only got a few pictures, but I actually plan on recording me processing some rabbits. I'm telling you, like I said, you are back in your element. I am. I'm still not right where I want to be, but I'm getting there just like I've got to finish sewing some curtains and doing some other stuff.
Starting point is 02:54:55 Well, I think that's you too though. The job is probably never done with you, but you're in your element. A nine to five is not helping. Yeah, we got to get rid of that. That's gotta go. Actually, Christopher's trying to push me to find a part-time because he's doing well on his end. A part-time so I have more time for our toddler and the homestead because that's the number one thing also is with him. I'm doing everything here with him and you know,
Starting point is 02:55:24 I need more time to sit there and work on certain developmental skills and I think the homestay can become a moneymaker you know that you've seen you know plenty of people rock and massive amounts of YouTube followers yeah kind of stuff well and that's I've had quite a few people pushing me to put on YouTube and I just I don't know why I haven't pulled it. You know what? I haven't pulled the trigger like you haven't. No, no, no, no. I was going to say like you haven't on blog talk. Not red beacon. Red beacon.
Starting point is 02:55:51 There you go. Yeah. It's probably a little bit of my voice in your head too, because I've always been so worried about establishing an income on YouTube and having it taken away. No, I, you know, I don't think it's so much as for the income. It's been the fact that I've watched you on YouTube and I've always been so worried about establishing an income on YouTube and having to take it away. No, I, you know, I don't think it's so much as for the income.
Starting point is 02:56:07 It's been the fact that I've watched YouTube close us down for so many stupid minute things. That's what I mean. Yeah, no, I don't censor well. Every phrase, I don't censor myself well. So this whole podcast is going to get get censored because we did that little section about vaccines. I'll get a message tomorrow morning from YouTube Devon. He said the V word You're gonna be in trouble. Well, you know what? I'll just make sure I download this one afterwards and I post it on my rumble as well We can download it from stream yard and do whatever we yeah. Yeah, that's good. It's good feeling right self-referencing I'm gonna get a message tomorrow morning from YouTube Devon. He said the V word You're gonna be in trouble. Well, you's good. It's good feeling, right?
Starting point is 02:56:47 Self-reliance and independent. You're going to have to macro edit and remove that portion of reposted. Oh, hell no. No, see, that's why. Uh-uh. No, it's too real. We're too real for that. You know, there's no way.
