The Prepper Broadcasting Network - DAC - How Much Would You Prep If You Did Not Have Kids?

Episode Date: April 5, 2024

Music A person who advocates and practices preparedness. One ready for any event that would disrupt their daily routine. That is a prepper. Hello everyone out there in internet radio land. This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy. Oh my gosh. What a week of shows on PBN.

Yeah. Well, I'm on spring break. so I'm working my butt off, but I get to listen to PBN like I haven't listened to since I was retired. So, that's great. James, I mean, Monday, Monday, Preppers Live was like ear candy. It was two Preppers talking. Rick Austin, I agree with James.

It was probably the best podcast they've ever done together. It was fantastic. And then what? Patriot Power Hour guys are back. They were on fire, okay, even though the website's down. They analyze the news like you won't get anywhere else. And they give you straight up their opinions. It's fantastic.

straight up their opinions. It's fantastic. And let's see, James is on Wednesday night and he did, you know, what if you just started prepping right now? What if he had never got into prepping? I can't imagine that because I've been a prepper all my life. It was the way I was brought up and raised

and we just, that's what we did. You know, so I just, Maria made me kick it into high gear. I tell her every chance I get, I wouldn't do. It's more than half. I would not do more than half the stuff we do if it wasn't for her. Because she's a bigger prepper than I am. And that's the truth.

And what are we doing right now? Well, I tore up my porch. And I'm making garden beds. Right where the porch was. right in between the railroad ties the porch was non-treated wood so it's starting to deteriorate and so i used those the planks to make the boxes and we have four really nice garden boxes started and they're going to get really good sun because of the reflection off of the house and really good rain and they'll be easier to water since they're so close to the house.

Maria said she's not going to water so much that it runs into the basement. We'll see. We'll see. We'll see how that goes. We're changing out our wood stove. I have to move 12 tons of gravel, which I got a start on, but didn't get a dent really put into it. And I said, really? We're going to make another run to the to the scrap metal place I don't know if you remember I take scrap metal to a scrap metal place I get money

for it and then that money I used to buy silver all those silvers up pretty much right now maybe I'll maybe I'll hang off on that for a little bit. Yeah. Well, and then I listened to Carl Beat. Man, I cannot let Maria listen to Carl Beat because she will go positively nuts. She's been talking about the eclipse, some portals supposed to open up, and then we had an earthquake today in New Jersey, of all places.

And we had sleet and hail yesterday. The weather tonight is supposed to get down to 34. So Maria's all on this. But I'm with a suspicious observer. He said that he's not saying that nothing will happen, but if something does happen, it's because the government made it that way. And I believe that. I believe that.

I mean, in my lifetime, I've seen a bunch of solar eclipses. They're interesting. They're cool. But yeah, that's it. The moon travels in front of the sun, which it has done since the moon was the so I don't expect anything to happen but who knows you can never tell with them wasquey democrats and Israel and the election

and just everything and then I have to ask you, what did you do today to prep on? Oh my gosh. We're changing out our wood stove for a stove that you actually have an oven in that you can bake. And it has burners on top of the stove.

So it's kind of a cook stove. I forget what it's called. It has a name. But the firebox is down below and then the... No, wait. I think the firebox is up above. Which didn't make any sense to me. I thought the firebox should be down below and the oven up above. But it's a stove, has burners and a thermometer. She wants to get stainless steel stove pipes, take our others out.

We tore the other stove out, and behind it was a ceramic tile and what do you call it, asbestos board. We took all that out. What a mess. And then we went from floor to ceiling with stone, natural stone. So that's on the wall now. It looks really great. I think it's going to be wonderful.

But that's a work in progress. Yep, we establish a position. We improve upon it daily. That's what we do here. Incubators just hatched out some chickens. We got quail eggs in the other one. And we're keeping an eye on that. All the plants have been started. They've been in the other one and we're keeping an eye on that all the plants have been started they've been in the house here we're probably not going to put them out since tonight tomorrow night's going to be 34 but she wants to put them in the in the greenhouse because the

greenhouse is pretty toasty it's uh oh probably i don't know 10 degrees warmer than the rest of when the sun is up. Yeah. So, yeah, greenhouses, that's part of that infrastructure that James was talking about. Prepper infrastructure. Get ready. Get ready, PBN family. But know this, everything is a thousand times harder after SHTF. Yes. I mean, how are you going to pull guard

duty at the same time you're putting up a greenhouse? Just saying. Well, and then we got into the conversation. Boy, this is really random thoughts here Marie and I got into the conversation last night if you didn't have kids how much of a prepper would you be because

well I told her about James' show I listened to his show on the way to Home Depot on the way back. And I told her what he had talked about. And she said, well, if we didn't have kids and it was just me and you, man, it would be so much different. And I believe that. I believe that. She does go overboard. And I just have to hang on for the ride. But it's working out.

It's working out. I can do prepper-ish things when it's her idea. Oh yeah, I did put up some cameras. Something I've been wanting to do for a while. They're indoor-outdoor type things. I'm not too happy with the program, but it has a little memory stick in them, so you can record on the memory stick. It doesn't have to go to the web and use up your bandwidth or whatever. But I digress.

This is what we did this week. Just these few days. I have a few more days left. My back is killing me. I have a few more days left. My back is killing me. But I mainly got on here just to tell you about the great shows that are on PBN. Oh, and I missed Sarah Hathaway's

Changing Earth audio drama. Oh my gosh, if you have not listened to that, it is unbelievable. Off the hook. It's coming to a head. This season right here is going to really move the plot like you've never heard before. So check it out. It's amazing. The sound effects, the music, the everything.

It's just fantastic. I die off a lot. A lot of my characters are dying. No spoilers. So if you know who I am, you know I'm dying. Just worked out that way. I'm sure I'll be back. I have many more voices inside my head to use.

That's that schizophrenia. Anyway. Oh, I banged my knuckle terrible and it is swollen. Well, PBN family, I am going to sign off here. You know, in uncertain times, when everything is going to crap, you need to keep your head so that, you know, your family doesn't lose theirs. James was saying about what we did on Gotham Get Out. He said he would dread having to do something like that

with his family. I don't know. What do you do? Lie to them? Hey, we're going on a camp out. Come on guys, it'll be fun. Yeah. Maria often says, if we have to go in the woods, just leave me here. Leave me here.

I said, what if someone comes in? She said, no one kills the cook. Which, she has a good point. People come in and take her captive. All she's got to do is make them something. I'm chuckling because that's pretty true. That's very true. She definitely has some cooking skills.

And I often say she can make an old shoe taste good. And I truly say she can make an old shoe taste good. And I truly believe that. So PBN family, take care and prep on.
