To oppose tyranny and fight for the rights our Creator bestowed us in the United States Constitution.
We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network.
Hello everyone out there in internet radio land.
This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy.
And as you can tell by my voice, I have been kind of under the weather.
I mean, we had something yesterday.
We almost postponed Christmas.
Yeah.
And the kids weren't in the mood to even unwrap presents.
It took a while.
But we're feeling better now.
It's, I don't know what it is, bronchitis?
It is some kind of chest cold that's really,
oh, really tough
how's your Christmas vacation going?
are you prepping on?
I got a really nice automatic watch
for Christmas, really really nice, if you don't know what an automatic watch
is,
it's probably the only watch that will run after an EMP attack. It's self-winding. It doesn't charge a battery, okay? The mechanism winds itself up, and it has jewel movements and all that kind of stuff.
So that was really nice. And I got some
knives. You know, you can never have enough knives or flashlights
I think.
You want a knife close at hand all times and a flashlight
close at hand at all times. Just saying. Oh my. So
we finally relented and got a VR headset. And we got a VR headset and Alex got a VR
headset. So now we have two VR headsets in the house running around doing stuff.
I'm not exactly even sure.
But it is pretty cool from what the kids actually let me use it and see it.
What it did.
You can imagine they're not letting me or Maria touch it much.
I mean, it'll get old quick, you know, eventually.
And maybe we'll have to schedule time.
I can see where it's a really good workout.
David was playing that gorilla game
that the Intrepid Commander talked about it,
and boy, I thought to myself,
if we put some wrist weights and ankle weights on him,
man, he'll be buff in no time.
This game will kick his butt.
And that one about Asgard, I don't know.
They say that's awesome.
That's the one the Intrepid Commander was talking about.
So, I don't know I'm still on the fence about it
whether it's a good idea to bring something more
into the house that relies on the internet
yeah
what do you do
Alex said if they don't do this now
they'll be behind later
because he said virtual reality and these headsets
are going to be the future. It's how people are going to work. It's how they're
going to communicate. I don't know. Maybe.
So we've had, what is it,
107 attacks on U.S. bases
in the Middle East since October. Hezbollah and
the Houthi. I don't know why we just don't
declare war on the Houthi. They are a scourge.
Just a positive scourge
of the earth. And they need to be eradicated.
Now, I am not saying
we're eradicating
a certain type of people. I'm talking about this
rebel hootie force. They seem to be very well funded
and well trained and
they're kind of
like
what was it, ISIS.
They're kind of like ISIS
only they seem to be more organized
and they're operating out of Yemen.
They have threatened
they and Iran have threatened
to shut down the shipping lanes
in the Red Sea.
And they're doing a pretty good job about it.
So I say we move in and eradicate them.
I don't know.
This administration and consequently its military is just, man, I can't imagine being in today's military.
I am not woke.
I'm woke in a different way.
That was a t-shirt.
Prepper, a different kind of woke.
We're woke to the reality of, wow, what 2024 is going to be like.
Even CNN wrote an article about how bad it's going to be.
So you know it's going to be bad if they're admitting it.
I mean, why would they point this out
if their people were in power?
Huh?
I mean, it's kind of crazy.
Crazy times we're living in.
And we're back and forth on the freeze dryer again.
Back and forth and back and forth.
Maria really, really wants it.
Lord knows we have enough.
We can freeze dry.
I mean, we can.
We dry.
We dehydrate.
We, you know, have five freezers.
Two, no, three refrigerators if we freeze dry some of this stuff
I think our electric bill would go down.
Yeah, for sure.
Let's see, I should report that the pigeons are turning out not to be a good experiment.
Now, we really, I don't think we put enough time and effort and study into this.
But we had a hawk come by.
And, well, I'm not feeding hawks around here
I'm not giving them my livestock too
so I think we're going to keep the pigeons until they all die off
it's just
we let them out
they stay here
they fly around
and if a hawk sees them
they don't stand a chance
I mean they're like doves in the wild
you know they're just
food for other predators
chickens are doing okay
we lost a chicken
the other day
and I mean actually lost it
we don't know where it went
might have been the fox we have a fox in the area We lost a chicken the other day. And I mean actually lost it. We don't know where it went.
It might have been the fox.
We have a fox in the area.
But I have not been able to track it down.
First chicken we lost.
Ever.
First one.
Well, I don't count that our very first attempt where the raccoon got in and killed them all.
I don't count that one because we didn't have them 24 hours.
That was a massacre.
That kind of set the stage for all future pens and future construction.
Yeah. We knew we had something going on
then. So now we electrify everything and make it
sturdy enough that a bear can't rip it open.
It's just you're competing with every
other life form up here on the mountain
to keep your stuff from dying.
Almost done with the smoker. I want to get
those hinges where you lift the door off
of the hinge. I want to get those hinges because I think that would be great
to be able to load the smoker and not have to worry about the door
and then put the door back
on close her up and get to smoking so i'll tell you how well it does we have some pork and some
sausages we got to smoke and as soon as i get her done i'm going to fire it up see how it works
i'll let you know it was a pretty simple project.
I got all the plywood pre-cut at Home Depot.
So it's a box, two by two by four.
And then I lined it with the cedar that you would line a closet with.
It's tongue and groove.
They're cut very thin, like quarter inch.
And they're eight feet long, so I cut them in half and they line this box just fabulous. I mean, I put them on top,
on the bottom, and all the way around and on the door.
Oh, one of my gifts
for Maria was the off-grid prepper project book.
She snatched that up, and I never even got to see it.
And I said, hey, that book came.
That's a Christmas present for you, but I would like to look at it.
And it's a very good book, Very detailed, step-by-steps.
I really like it.
But it is, as the Intrepid Commander said,
my to-do list.
She's going to dog-ear a page, you know,
and say, start here.
Yeah, there's a lot of projects in there.
Very good ones. And what else?
Oh, I got Deanna. She likes to read book series.
So I got her Sarah Hathaway's entire
series. So she'll have a lot of reading to do.
And she's interested in it because she's
also one of the voice actors in the drama.
Did you catch it this past week?
Yeah, I did McClintock.
I think I sounded something like this.
I try and do my best channeling of Liam Neeson when I do McClintock.
Yeah. channeling of Liam Neeson when I do McClintock.
Yeah.
Anyway, PBN family, I just thought I'd check in the day after Christmas and say I hope you had a wonderful, wonderful Christmas.
And take care and prep on. Thank you.
