The Prepper Broadcasting Network - DAC - Chicken Wire Is For Chickens

Episode Date: July 30, 2024

Music A person who advocates and practices preparedness. One ready for any event that would disrupt their daily routine. That is a proper. Hello everyone out there on internet radio land. This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy. And I am out and about.

I am loose. I am off the chain. I am a free man right now. I am away from the warden. Yes, yes. I am actually on a work release program. She released me to go to Home Depot. My second favorite store.

Second only to Costco. Oh my gosh. Did you hear Family Feud? That was a hoot. I have to apologize. I have no idea why my audio was so bad. I even used my cell phone thinking, you know, that gets a better signal than my internet and it would work better, but it did not. So there's something up with Skype because I do these daily audio caches and everything sounds fine.

But when I join other people on Skype is when it gets kind of goofy, kind of wonky. So, but we're going to do it again. We're definitely going to do it at Prepper Camp. That'll be awesome because we'll all be there around the campfire. And I got to get me a dinger and a buzzer because my throat the next day was rough, rough. But that's not why I'm doing this daily audio cache. We have some internet radio listeners that have emailed me. And if you're the one that sent me the money, cash in an envelope, let's just make up a name. Richard, yours is going out in the mail today.

So your memory sticks and I also put a little gift in there I did that for the other listener too the other listener he was kind enough to send me an email saying let other preppers learn from my mistakes so I'm going to cover what happened on his homestead

and then kind of tell you what the solutions are. And he had a raccoon problem, which, you know, on the mountain here, we have raccoons all over the place. I do my very best to quell the herd, but, you know, they're prolific. I think they're the only thing you can shoot without an actual hunting license. I'm not sure about that, but in Virginia, it's like unlimited on raccoons, so. Anyway, he had a couple chicken pens. And he ended up chasing four raccoons. He heard the rooster going nuts at very early in the morning. That's when the raccoons usually early in the morning and right at dusk.

I mean, you can hear them in the trees calling. They make a sound, just Google raccoon sounds. And I'm sure you've heard them before. Anyway, two of them he chased away and two of them he got in a tree. Now he had his trusty.22, but it was dark and you're shooting at a dark thing up in a dark tree. And he said glasses. And of course, don't we all suffer from that, right? Your vision does not get better with age.

Okay, I'm just saying. Anyway, he ended up going in and getting the 12 gauge to dispatch the last raccoon. And the 12 gauge did the number. I mean, it is one of the apocalyptic weapons that I would have in my arsenal. that I would have in my arsenal, okay, a 12 gauge, a 22, a 9 millimeter, and some type of AR platformed, either 556 or 7.62, okay, that, that is the apocalyptic armory. So, 12 gauge, yeah, but that was not the point. I'm telling you the whole story, but the point of the matter was chicken wire is for chickens.

And that is so true. We learned a valuable lesson very early on, and it had to do with a raccoon. And I've been waging war on them ever since. I mean, it was a, looked like a massacre. Nine chickens just killed. just killed Maria couldn't bring herself to go clean it up I had to do it from then on we don't do anything

unless it's at least raccoon proof at least and if possible bear proof so that's what we do up here on the mountain. Know that chicken wire is for chickens and if you got predators that ain't going to work. Matter of fact our neighbors routinely lose chickens and we don't know why they don't improve upon their cages and fencing and all that. We just can't figure it out. They're feeding foxes and raccoons. They're just feeding

them. That fox, we have a fox in the area. I haven't been able to trap it yet. But it just knows when to come by. And it don't come by our property because ours are, you know, electrified mesh fences. So it goes by our neighbors and just snatches a chicken whenever it wants. I don't know. I don't know. Some people. Anyway, I'm going to be doing this daily audio cache as I'm driving around town, doing chores, running errands. So this might be an extra long daily audio cache. So let's see. Let's see what all I can pack into this baby.

So let's see. Let's see what all I can pack into this baby. So I ran all my errands. Now I'm headed back. I got to thinking because Dan Bongino is still talking about the attempted assassination on President Trump. And I got to thinking about, you know, if any of you out there in radio listening land has ever been shot at, okay, your first instinct is not to jump up and put your fist in the air and say, fight, fight, Okay? I have been shot at. And I have been, you know, pointed guns at me. So, let me put it to you this way.

I tried to get as low as I possibly could and make myself, I wanted to turn into Ant-Man. And get as small as possible. That should let everybody know what type of man President Trump is. And last night he did an interview with Laura Ingram, and it really showed a very personal side that you don't very often get to see. And she asked him, what did your wife think? And he said that she was watching it live, and she saw it all go down.

And he said that she can't still bring herself to talk about it. She's too emotional. And he says, well, that means she really, really likes me. Yeah. That's kind of funny. She did have a son with you. Anyway, just my random thoughts, you know, what goes through the NBC guy's mind in a day. Did you hear the replay last night? The Intrepid Commander put up a blast from the past for Preppers Live, and it was a great episode back in the day when the Intrepid Commander got Omicron And, wow, it was really something. You know, you think back of COVID and all that kind of crap was going on.

And, man, we went through it. In the Jones household, we did not get COVID for over two years. As far as we could tell, you know, early on we got sick, but they didn't even have tests for it then. So we might have had COVID from the very, very beginning and didn't know it. Deanna got really sick, had a fever for several days which was unusual and that was in January when COVID

first came to the United States but that was before anybody was reporting any cases and all that kind of stuff uh oh more spam calls gosh I hate election season you get more spam calls. Gosh, I hate election season.

You get more spam calls, and why am I getting them from Democrats? That's what I don't understand. Joe Biden's calling me to raise money. What's up with that? I think someone used my phone number and filled it out. Just as a joke. Anyway, PBN family, I'm going to pause it until I get home.

If I think of something else, I'll jump back on here. And yeah, check out last night's flashback, making food. I think that's what we were talking about. Well, speaking of making food, when we butchered those turkeys and the three geese, it was over 200 pounds of meat, and we filled one freezer. So we're looking at doing another round of butchering of some roosters and some hens that aren't laying anymore. And we're thinking about, very, very hard thinking about canning the meat. It's something we'd have to do when we lose power anyways, and why not have a few cans of meat on the shelf? I've always threatened to do that with some deer

meat because it really makes it pressure can it, you know, so it's like cooking it inside the can, and you could just pop it right out. You put the seasoning and everything in there. It draws its own juice. And it just makes it super tender, very tasty. You know, clover, garlic, some rosemary. Stick that in there and can away. Okay, some more random thoughts.

So the Intrepid Commander did a newscast about the article he found on the Collapse blog, Collapse Survival Blog, or whatever, whatever. I can't remember, but anyway, he was saying about how women are getting tubal ligations, and men are getting vasectomies even before they get married, and I have to say, have to say, yes, Alex did that. He did it when he was 25, I think, before he got out of the Air Force. And he just said, I don't want to have any kids. And there are some people on the planet that definitely should not have children. and Alex is one of them. So I'm just saying, sometimes it's a good thing.
