Well, if it ain't the PBN family, what is up? This has been a long day's journey to Mike, if you know the reference. I'm late. I'm late, baby. I'm so late. It's crazy. I couldn't sleep last night. No sleep.

Nothing. Severely a bug bitten I Traipsed into the Garden of Eden my son even warned me like I was rolling into this patch of I don't need these headphones of You know like It was credit the ground was mint and surrounding us on all sides of blackberries. This wasn't a dream. This was reality. And somehow, I don't know, I happened upon, or it could have been when I was running around looking for

chanterelle mushrooms the other day, whatever happened, I found all the chiggers. I found them all you know and something about annually I do that about annually I find them all and they absolutely punish me and that was the case folks that was the case why do I look kind of like not focused through the focusing on me okay well I'm gonna talk about PBN today I think fundamentally but I'm going to talk about pbn today, I think fundamentally, um But I do want to talk to you about mylar bags and pack fresh usa.com I do want you to read them and weep. I do want this

Is part of a uh, oh, yeah, that's it. That's number five long term These will be the subject well not the subject but one of the many techniques for today's members only podcast. I'd started this podcast about four times already. I was going to do the members podcast as today's podcast. I was going to do today's podcast as you know that whole thing. You need mylar bags in your life. Pack fresh USA dot com.

Check them out. Pack fresh USA dot com. Check them out. We're going to read an article. No, not in this podcast. Next one. I've got food insecurity on my mind, so for the Members Only podcast today, we're going to talk about real, legitimate cooking techniques, recipe-ish things that will save you money

and get you fed. And probably get you fed better than the way you're eating already in all honesty. You know, America is a weird place, man. We know the answers. Come on, Jay Ferg. Thanks for joining me late. We know the answers, but we don't often like take advantage of them.

So it's a weird one. It's a weird one. But that's today's members only podcast that that'll be coming about midday. I want to kind of talk about PBN shortly, briefly. I don't, I don't really want to, uh, I don't really want to get into news and stuff. I don't want to get into anything. I really don't. I don't know.

It was one of those mornings. I got started late. I don't know. It was one of those mornings I got started late when I hopped on the podcast. The dogs were like wrestling and fighting. It was loud and it was one of those things like this ain't gonna work today. You know what I mean? And I almost abandoned it altogether. I did no show yesterday either. Why didn't I do the show yesterday? I don't remember. It was another one of those things. No surviving America yesterday, but you know, is what it is. But I just somebody, you know, sometimes sometimes I get into this headspace with PBN where it's like, I don't know, it's not really Jay Ferg says it's called life. Yeah, no doubt about that

That's that's the real deal right there. You you you definitely called it But You get into this I get into this headspace with PBN where I'm overwhelmed in a good way. That's really what it is It's it's overwhelm in a really good way You know and that's where we are right now with PPN right before I hopped on I saw Sarah Hathaway and I reposted it over on next Sarah Hathaway put her latest trailer up for the changing earth audio drama video music sound the whole nine yards like

What she's doing with the audio drama has been absolutely incredible Most of you out there probably have no idea we even have an audio drama You know what I mean probably have no clue. Oh, by the way, I did two things for you folks here at for those of you on Instagram pretty cool I Took This was yeah last night. I interviewed a guy His show will be up soon on drones and drone tech and using drones and thermals and drones really Cool show great guy guy from prepper camp part of the prepper camp series

For those of you keeping up with the prepper camp series You know, first of all buy your tickets go to prepper camp. Don't be silly like you're gonna waste that money on a on a restaurant and a couple glasses of wine and and then you're gonna say You're gonna be like sitting in a chair like this in a room like this going like How come I never set aside money for survival or how come I can't afford? Survival training and tactical training and you know herbal medicine training and all this kind of stuff. It's not fair I want to get the real training right and you're gonna you're gonna piss and moan about it. I'm telling you right now For the price there's no greater deal than prepper camp 2025

So go get your tickets, but you know a speaker there is gonna talk drones I talked him last night about drones and then all fair He was talking a lot about growing medicinal herbs and things like that and I said, you know what? I'm gonna send you a guy named Judson Carroll's show. And I said in the latest episode and then out of curiosity, I searched YouTube and I went and saw what happens if I just type his show into my YouTube search, not not the YouTube search, but, you know, like my studio. And I was able to grab all of them.

So what I did is I created a playlist on our YouTube channel. So if you're watching us on YouTube, subscribe and you can, you know, get to that playlist pretty easily. Um, and it's all herbal medicine for preppers. It's like 20 episodes or something like that. Cause his shows are amazing. They're if you're into that kind of thing, it's like that is the podcast It's a guy the Judson Carroll. If you don't know him He's a guy who lives in the Appalachian Mountains and what he does among, you know other things. He's writer

Writes writes really interesting stuff over at sub stacks. Check him out plays guitar. This is just what I know and Goes out in the woods and finds medicinal plants That's the guy who you want to do your herbal medicine for preppers podcast. You know what I mean? So just like those two things right there, bananas, like bananas. Like it's not a person from this. Nothing wrong with it. I'm a person from the suburbs.

It's not like a person from the suburbs who trained to become an herbalist. And now they do a podcast because they know it's lucrative. Like it's a guy who this is his life. You know what I mean? The same could be said for the Phoenix in chat for Jay Fergie, Jay Fergie. And it just things like this just hit you. You know what I mean? They just hit you and you just go. All of a sudden, the Prepper Broadcasting Network has a new dynamic homesteading

program. It just like happened like that. You know what I mean? It just and all it was again was immersing a person who belongs there back in her natural environment and it just takes off through it's like Dave Jones You know a well-oiled machine Dave Jones the NBC guy you listen to him you get a little bit of everything It's he's up there on his doing his homestead thing. It's yeah, I just like I said and like I always say Like you just find me the the network find me the website find me the podcast find me the network, find me the website, find me the podcast, find me the thing that

is anything like PBN. Find it for me. Look, I would listen. I would watch. You know what I mean? If there was this collection of incredible people doing amazing things, all just delivering the answers to you. You know what I mean?

Like delivering the... Like there's so many videos out there about what's wrong and so many articles about what's wrong and so many things about what we're confused, we're lost, we're in a cult, we're wrapped up in this, we're wrapped up in that, the future is bleak the blah blah blah blah What the prep of broadcasting network has become over the years is once become your path back to stability, that's what it is and I don't know proud proud father moment. We'll go with that proud commander moment. How about that? You know, it's just I've just been having that feeling lately. Not because the internet's telling me to. Not because we're seeing some kind of boost in

certain metrics or anything like that. Not because we're making a bunch of money or anything along those lines. Like just watching this thing work, stepping back, Patriot Power Hour live last night. I mean, you could argue the Patriot Power Hour, like, I don't know. I don't listen to a lot of that kind of content. You know what I mean? Especially not two man stuff. So the Patriot Power Hour in the, in the rising Republic is really like, that's kind of my, my jam for news and, and two people, right?

Um, but yeah, it's just one of those, it's just one of those things you start That's kind of my jam for news and two people, right? But yeah, it's just one of those things. You start gathering it all up. The matter of fact, podcast is phenomenal. And you realize that there really is nothing out there like the prep of broadcasting network. Like I said, I'm not trying to convince you. I'm not having not having convinced how I'm the majority people I'm talking to already listen already know I'm gushing. That's all that's all I'm doing. You know what I mean? I'm just gushing right now because you I'm so immersed in it. Obviously, it's what I do But you can go through great stretches where you're doing a job, right? You can go through great stretches where you're like popes to podcast tags. Yeah, good. Good. Good. How do we grow? How do we this? How do we that and then you go through these stretches where it's like

Look at what? What we've become Do you know what I mean? Like look at what this is look at the body of information You know what? I think it also has to do it too is when you get when you get so immersed in the internet that you see like there's almost nothing worth watching. Anybody having that problem anymore? I felt like there was a time where I'd flip the phone on. I had some housework or some yard work to do or whatever some editing something that requires some audio. And it was like just a list of things. And I'd be like, Oh, I'm gonna watch that.

I'll watch that later. I'll listen to that. I'll do that. You know, I get in the phone and bring up YouTube now and I'm like, I don't watch any of this. I don't care about anybody's thoughts on any of these topics. I don't know. Just feels that way.

So then you return, you return home to your friends on PBN, you know what I mean? And they're all doing great stuff as per usual. I don't know, it's just one of those things, man. It's, you know, and this is like only to show content stuff, right? Like this is only to show content. We're not even scratching the surface

on members content stuff. Right like this is only the show content. We're not even scratching the surface on members content stuff. We're not even scratching the surface on like Prepper camp behind the scenes stuff Things that are like just bubbling to the surface. It's it's a big wide world You know here at PBN and I am just super grateful for For everybody here. It's it's wide and you you know what I mean? And you too, you know, it's you guys You guys who are the listeners You change everything. Hey, no, no, no, we're not going under here to eat random things. Okay, bubba

The puppy has reached raptor phase now he's full full on raptor. He's full on just absolute tornado of destruction. He- he- here he goes. Right now he's- he's stealing a Lima Tango, uh, handkerchief and running away with it. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Can't do that, buddy. I just gave you a big ol' bone. Come here, gimme that back. Can't take the ol' Lima tango hanky. This thing's worth buying on its own.

Did you ever see one of these? Oh, it's got all kinds of stuff, man. It's got all kinds of survival recommendations, skills, knots, first aid business. I mean, first aid business. I mean, it's it's awesome. Hypothermia prevention, the rule of three hydration. So what it's got, it's got the clove hitch. It's got the bowling.

You know, if you got to drop your kid off at the liberal parents house You got to have the hanky see they let you in I'm here to drop my kid off. Is it okay if I come inside? I'll leave my gun in the car. Yeah, sure Yes, sure enter you may access granted Yes sure enter you may access granted access granted you capitalist right-wing pig get in here and get out of here as quickly as you can because we don't want you here I don't deal with that very much at all actually so that's a good thing that's a good thing so what else what else is happening in the big wide world? Go to PBNfamily.com, see the membership website. We created a new membership checkout. I don't know why it took me so long.

I'm just going to show you. I'm just going to show it to you because it's... I didn't realize like for the longest time, this is a blind spot of mine, but I didn't realize that our check out screen was so goofy. Do you care? I don't care if you don't care. You know what I mean? I really don't this morning. I'm sorry.

Oh yeah. Jay Ferguss says flooding everywhere. Yeah, we're flooded. Like we are the backyard is a marsh right now. I've got to go check out a survival cache in the backyard and see if it held up because I'm sure it was swimming last night at some point. But anyway, I just want to show it to you because it's cool. And for those of you watching who like, I don't know, thinking about it, it's a much better situation

Yeah, we could talk about the rain I don't know I think I might start doing like a foil Friday I think I might start doing a foil foil Friday and talking about things like what's on my mind when it comes to this flooding business Because it is absolutely bonkers. So This is PBN family.com, our membership website. And we used to have this weird little bit of verbiage, right? And then it was just like a link. That wasn't what the link said, but it was just a red link. And I got this, you know, I got a really good website extension thing that allows me to create cool stuff

like this checkout here. And I don't know, I don't know why it took me so long to like upgrade from this 2008 link checkout situation. So just so you know, okay, just so you know.

almost every Sunday, here at PBN. Stephen Menking. Literally a combination of words that I never really liked hearing people say and I really never really liked saying it myself. But because of Stephen Menking, I can say that dude is legitimately my brother in Christ. Like he was between him and my wife really probably fundamentally. And Mike, what the that was Mike's name. I Can't remember we had him on first before Stephen Menking was like it was meant to be right He might the guy Mike golf Mike. I can't think of his name years ago

He tells me about this guy. You should also talk to this guy Stephen Menking Off to the races, you know what? I'm off to the races. You know what I mean? Off to the races. Um, we do need to get some archive stuff up. I've been sort of bandying about whether I want to get into archive shows or if I want to fill the, uh, the free air time with, uh, 24, not a 24 seven, but like, uh, an archive live, you know what I mean? And run an archive live because. Yeah. an archive live, you know what I mean? And run an archive live because yeah.

But yeah, foil Friday seems in order because I don't know about you, but last night I'm sitting here right? I don't even want to tell you what I was doing, but last night I spent about three hours painting Warhammer figurines. It's one of those nights the wife was preoccupied, the kids, they were all doing their thing and I knew for certain That I had time to burn and you know what I've been doing lately unfortunately when I run into that time to burn I just work and I Know right, you know, we all know when our bodies had too much and it's like dude You got to do something that you want to do. That's silly. That's disconnected. That's creative that you know, and you got to do that's silly that's disconnected that's creative that you know and what you got to do that so I sat down and did that for like three hours I drank too much coffee which kept me up all night and I had a fucking

blast okay and that's the point isn't it isn't that the point you're here for life right you are here for life but while I'm doing this, while I'm painting, right? I'm over here dry brushing my mini. I'm here in thunder like I've never heard my whole life. You know what I mean? I've been here a long time now. I've been here what? When did I get here? Oh nine. Almost 20 years in Virginia. I'm listening to thunder. It sounds like war hammers happening outside. Like that's what it sounds like. It sounds like there's dreadnoughts trampsing through the forest out there and you know battles in the skies above. And I'm like what is it? Like thunder that rumbles for a long

time and almost sounds like it's it almost feels like it's Exploding in the sky and then the shockwave is hitting the house like Thunder that would Shake the whole house What is going on? Not like a boom? You know how they're doing normally like a boom like thunder used to be like a boom like a lightning. Oh shit That was close boom oh cool yay it's all crazy now oh maybe I'm paying more attention to it I

have a hard time believe that I have a hard time believe I'm paying more attention to the lightning than ever before but here's what it is I don't know folks at the end of the day, life is good. I hope yours is. And if it's not, I hope you're working towards something. Don't sit in it. Don't stew in it. Don't sit there and be like, oh, life.

There's so many people who've just given up or something. You know what I mean? I don't know what to tell you. The grimdark future. Of the Warhammer universe. Superheroes and their constant struggles. They all that stuff amounts to me waking up every day and being like. This day, we shall war.

You know what I mean? Like this day is a war. And it's not about violence or it's not even about a great you meet me, you know me, I'm not an aggressive guy. You know what I mean? But there's a war inside. And I think there has to be a war inside. I really do.

I've never felt better. Then when I've just come to terms with the fact that like we live in a time where you will be tested more than any generation has ever been tested ever. Maybe in 24 hours. So you have to be, you have to go into it with that mentality. You know what I mean? You have to go into it with that sort of, I don't know, indomitable spirit fundamentally. I mean, I'm talking to Mrs. Indomitable Spirit right here in chat, but like you need that to survive this day and age. spirit right here in chat. But like you need that to survive this day and age. You can't black pill, you can't do this crazy shit where you're like the world

sucks and that's the state of affairs. So sorry. You know what I mean? You can't live like that. It's bananas. Who the hell would live like that? So you have to steel yourself against the times. You have to, well what you have to do is you have to get honest about your weaknesses. You know what I mean? And then you have to get honest about what is expected of you. I've been thinking about this a lot. The average person, if your goal is to stay on the straight and narrow, you know what I mean?

Like, if you don't want to fall into a pit, into the apple orchard, if you will. What's it called? Is it called the the orchard pit rather? The orchard pit. It's in Poems for Men written by Dante Gabriel Rosetti. Every man needs to read the orchard pit, dude. Come on. What's up Redsport91?

Oh snap, it's Silverstreak. How you been, man? How have you been? Wow. Yeah, it has been a long time. Geez. How funny that you showed up today because we're talking largely about PBM. You know?

Sorry to break my train. You broke my train of thought, man. What the hell? I'm just kidding. But you have to wake up with that fundamental fight in you every day because you are existing in a world that's never existed before. You do have challenges that no one has ever... the likes of which no one has ever faced before. I know we hearken back to like the young boys who took off to World War two and won the war and good It's great generation nothing against it We are living through a time where things

You have to have a guiding light you have to have God fundamentally you have to have a moral compass and not only do you have to have a moral compass, dude You got to be in that thing all the time You got because like I said, there's no there's never been a generation Tested the way that the people living on planet Earth are being tested right now Never this has never been that way. I was running the other yesterday. I was running when I was thinking about this. I'm thinking like the testing of it all right and I'm thinking like

When was the like let's say you woke up on a straw mat or something like that in? 1800 1700 Like when was the first time? Your morality Or whatever you were fundamentally tested by the day, you know, with sin and temptation. Like how long did it take in a day before you got to that point? You know what I'm saying?

Today you wake up, you pick this up. Oh, what time is it? Immediate. You got immediate issues, right? Immediately as you wake up, you probably don't even realize it, but immediately as you wake up, you're worried about your shortcomings. Oh, oh, I ate too much last night. Oh, I got to wake up. I got to drink water. I got to hydrate. I got to make sure I'm hydrated. I'm going to die. I got a hydrate. I got to make sure I'm hydrated I'm gonna die if I don't hydrate, right? You immediately you're you're tested by all this stuff and it's just You look at the state of humanity and to be honest that you know, you see the worst of it and you can say like Oh, we're doomed

But when you see the best of it not not even the best of it, when you see people surviving America, it really is one of those things where you go. Like the human is amazing. Like the human is amazing. What we've been forced to adapt to and what we put ourselves through on a day to day basis is bananas, you know, it's bananas. You know, the level of testing that you go through every day. Like I said, if you're looking, if you have any care in the world at all about the Ten Commandments, if you have any care in the

world at all about sin or anything like that, or you're not even about biblical sin, like just being a good person, you are tempted all the time. Like never before. And it's just you give yourself no credit for winning that battle and you should. Do you know what I mean? It's likely you give yourself no credit for winning that battle and you should. Why do you look like I'm from 1901 with my camera here. And what I have found that works best for me is to basically wake up with war on my mind. You know what I mean? Like I said, it's not aggression.

It's not anger. It's not anything like that. It's just a life boiling up inside of you that is indomitable. Because you know, I'm going to hit the waves, I'm going to get the, I'm going to hit the tidal waves, I'm going to hit the speed bumps, I'm going to hit the brick walls, I'm going to, you know, all this kind of stuff. And all the while fighting that war, the temptations of chaos are

in your head, trying to pull you away and I'll, what if this, how, what if you did this? And what if they, you know what I mean? It is a lot. It is a lot. It is a lot. So you know, you got to dial in or as my kids say, you got to lock in. You got to lock in. And and I'll tell you what, if you don't have kids of your own and you feel like you've

got to got this thing wrangled to some degree, you probably should mentor someone if you have the time because I can't imagine Being out there with no questions asked And and and the shoulder that I lean on is youtube and tiktok. You know what I mean? You got it. You've got to And give the the generation coming up with the cell phones sewn to their arms Some grace because they're fighting the same battle. They're fighting the same battle and the only difference between them is they don't even know what it's like without it.

I didn't get a cell phone until I was probably 19. You know what I mean? These people, these kids have been attached to the digital world since they're three years old or whatever you know whenever whenever they first made whenever they first eyes go over and they see that what's mom playing on I want to play on it I want to watch on it so it's uh it is what it is folks you are being challenged you are being tested if I were you I would act accordingly. Okay? Talk to you soon folks. Appreciate it.
