You're listening to PBN. You're paying back the stability here. You are listening to the Relentless Prepper Broadcasting Network. What is up, everybody? What is up? Tizzi, the Intrepid Commander here. I'm supposed to be doing Surviving America today. Whoa.

What happened? What happened? No surviving America this week. That's what happened. Whoops. We'll blame it on the corned beef. So is what it is. Today is a slam-packed preparedness show.

Just no news, nothing. Slam with preparedness news. A lot of good stuff to cover, man. Some things from the old quiver that I have long been wanting to drop on you guys. It's hard to keep up here. I know it is. We got a ton of stuff coming out all the time. Yesterday we had a tremendous day.

If you didn't see the night movements tactical Tuesday podcast, check it out. It's great. You're going to dig it. You're going to dig it. I don't know. We keep going. Just hang on. You know what I mean?

Just hang on for the dear life because we keep going. If you really want to get prepared in all kinds of different avenues, if you really want to live your life to the fullest, get outside of what you're seeing, day to day and what you think is making you depressed, you know, stick with us, man. We'll have you growing your own food, being formidable, getting strong, getting powerful, right? Getting intelligent in the sense of, you know, nutrition and health and wellness and the whole nine yards. I mean, these things are all parts of what just slowly happens, the more you become a prep or homesteader in real time or whatever the hell it is.

that we've become here at PBM. You know what I mean? I mean, in all honesty, it is, and I know we have people all across the world that watch, so I'm not taking jabs at you, but really what it is is the, it's the best of what an American can be. It's the best use of freedoms that you can really, you know, take advantage of.

That's what this sort of prepping, homesteading movement has become. It has become the self-reliance and independence movement, sort of the best use of freedom's movement, the path back to stability. So today we're going to talk about at least three big pieces of that puzzle, three huge pieces of that puzzle. You know, I'm going to show you something that is, number one, it's free. Number one, what I'm about to show you is free. They are a sponsor. They are today's sponsor, okay?

And what the product itself is amazing. It's 100% free to use. It's called citizen food prep.com. And this is a segment of the show. This is not a sponsorship segment because it's such an awesome tool that I want you to use it. If you can support them, support them in any way you can. But they've got a few things right here that some of these food storage calculators get wrong. And I want to talk about it.

I want to show you what it is they have. and how to access it because you can access it right now on your browser. One of the things that they've done over at Citizen Food Prep that is so important is no questions asked. You know, there's a lot of apps out there. There's a lot of functionally really cool and effective prepping apps out there. The trouble with a prepping app is the same trouble that I've seen with every prepping app that I've ever tested, ever tried, ever used ever had been a sponsor on the network has ever been anything the biggest trouble is always the same thing i don't want to sign up i don't want to sign up as me i don't want to use my email i don't

want to be tracked i don't want to go through google play services and sign up and then fill in all my pertinent information right so what what what uh eat what what what the creators did over at citizen food prep is tremendous. They turned it into a web page. Not a web page that you go to and all the sudden you have to log in, not a web page that you go in and you have to sign in. Not a web page that you have to put in some information or an email address or whatever the situation is, right? Citizen food prep, man, check it out. It's amazing. Calculate your emergency food storage. Enter household details below will calculate recommended calories. And again, you just do this in private mode. You do it in private mode. Then you go down here and you buy this solar power bank so that they

make a little bit of money if you want to. And I'm telling you, man, it's great. So here's your quick reference, right? They got the reference on the side here for adults, adult males, adult females, children older than 12 and so on. Or children under 12, rather. You can add your household members, Let's just walk through it real quick. Family of four. I'm going to say zero children. Three males, one adult. And then you pick duration down here, which is sweet, right?

Three males, one adult duration, three months. Look, here's the truth about three months of preps. Three months of preps. 99.9% of situations you can survive. Truly. Like, if you're heavy breast, breathing about a year's worth of food storage because you saw some guy on YouTube tell you you need a year's worth of food storage. If you're heavy breathing about a year's worth of food storage,

stop. Stop and create a shopping plan that'll get you to three months worth of food storage quicker. If you're a member, listen to today's membership content that's going to come out. It's all about my big changes in 2026 for prepping. Some massive changes in my own profile. that are happening right in this crazy mind right big big chain things that have been staples in the prepping community for a long long time out the window out the window they don't work anymore or they don't work for me anymore okay it's my take it's my changes but i want you to listen to it um because they're they're big things they're big changes pricing has changed a lot of things in the prepping world. You don't just bowl ahead with your head down doing what the old prepping websites of the

early 2000s used to tell you to do. Things are changing. Technology is changing, right? What I want you to understand is you get yourself into a situation where you're heavy breathing and having anxiety attacks over six months to a year's worth of food. Your first, really, your biggest goal until you get there, your focal point, your target in terms of stockpiling and food storage, at large, water, the whole nine, three months. Because almost nothing is going to happen. The Iran war could break out into an entire war, right? And the truth of the matter is a three-month window to survive something like that is a lot. It's a lot.

What I like also about the three-month window, if you have three months worth of food storage, then that's enough time to get a garden up on its feet. That's enough time to get a food system up and running so that, oh, the dry food storage is gone. Now we have some. Months worth of food ain't enough time. You'll have radish and spinach to eat. You know what I mean? There's a cool shelf life guide over here on the side. very cool right citizen food prep.com check them out let's see what happens when we crunch the numbers

i got a great recipe for you by the way in terms of rice shtf chef is back we're going to have that back more often i i started yesterday just uh you know what let's include pets also let's include a lot of pets i wonder if pets includes chickens now you're getting into homesteading calculator punch and look what spits out man this is beautiful this is beautiful so right under where you hit calculate you can copy this you can print this see you see it right here you can copy you can print this is an amazing resource man take advantage of why you can because it costs money to run websites it might not always be here you know or this guy may start charging for it who knows but right now it's free take

advantage of it so three months worth of calories for four you need 1.37 million calories 15,000 calories a day 630 gallons of water seven gallons per day that's at one gallon of water per creature per day just so you know if you want to change that then you got to change that uh the weight of the food the duration um the person's covered quick budget on what it could look like right I wouldn't put too much into that because prices are crazy. But this is a really cool one. This is a cool breakdown of what you should buy in terms of, not in terms of the actual foods,

but in terms of breaking down healthy balanced meal. Right? Big in grains and starches, big in protein. Fats and oils, huge. Most peppers overlook fats and oils. It's a big one. Can and freeze-dried aim for a variety of tomatoes, corn, peaches,

mixed fruit. It's good stuff. It's all good stuff. I'm not, I think there might be something, this doesn't look right to me. This, something went wrong here, I think, on the calculation. It actually matches up with this guy.

Negative 1350 cans of fruits and vegetables, 1350 ounces, or 10 gallons of vegetable, or oils and fat. right water storage details this is cool because it breaks it down into drums and gallons and a gallon five gallon jugs right gives you a good idea of how it looks i did recommend to the creator i said you know what you should put some water bottles on here some plastic water bottles because people buy those and use those rotation storage uh stuff and then look everything down on this bottom

row if you buy it it will support this guy you know he didn't ask me to tell you that That's not part of the sponsorship deal. The idea is to show off what this awesome resource does at citizen food prep.com. Maybe you just want to double check your food storage. Maybe you want to see, like, I think this is very valuable. Just knowing starch is proteins, right? Dairy, supplements, fruit, vegetable, oils. Build it out the way you want, right?

Build it out the way you want. You can even play around with things like your neighborhood. You're blocked. Your whole family, right? People are coming to your house. What's that going to look like? It's a great resource, man. Citizenfoodprep.com are sponsored for today.

Paying for today's show, citizenfruit prep.com. We appreciate you, man. And best of luck. You know what I mean? Best of luck. It's a great resource. It really is. It's a phenomenal resource.

Sorry about the hair today, man. Just before I jumped on, I had this beanie on because it's winter in Virginia again. We go from winter to tornadoes to stormatic vortices to ice storms to, you know, it's one of those things. Whatever. The hot weather's coming. You can't stop it. You know what I mean?

The hot weather is coming. You can't stop it. So we had some serious weather here in Virginia. This episode is brought to you by Spreaker. The platform responsible for a rapidly spreading condition known as podcast brain. Symptoms include buying microphones. you don't need, explaining RSS feeds to confused relatives, and saying things like, sorry, I can't talk right now, I'm editing audio.

If this sounds familiar, you're probably already a podcaster. The good news is, Sprinker makes the whole process simple. You record your show, upload it once, and Sprinker distributes it everywhere people listen, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and about a dozen apps your cousin swears are the next big thing. Even better, Sprinker helps you monetize your show with ads, meaning your podcast might someday pay for well, more microphones. Start your show today at spreeker.com. Sprinker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour,

you might as well publish it. And Dave Jones now and I have spent quite a while with the Pock Link. Okay, we spent quite a bit of time with the Pock Link. I should have came prepared and I did not. I think I have a Pock Link link, not a promo code, and I don't have that link here. For the podcast, listeners, I'll throw the link down in the podcast.

You may have to go listen to the podcast if you want to buy one and use the affiliate link, okay? But suffice it to say, man, you know, the Pock Link is a thing. Like, we have utilized these radios for about a month now. We've done them in a variety of situations,

best of times, worst of times. I called Dave on Monday night to get him to prepare to buzz me, right? This is a push-to-talk 4G cell tower to cell tower communications method. Okay, so it's not like an off-grid under any circumstances communications method, but it is a great, maybe one of the best alternative communications method, right? it's something that what I really like about this is that this button is all you need to know how to do so that means anybody can use it that means you could take a park link and give it to your your

great-grandmother and say no no when you when you need me press this button right if you can't find your cell phone if your cell phone died whatever it is turn this radio on and then if you're if your phone's not working you can press this button and reach me because it's pushed talk it's instant you join it's a certain group of people push the talk you you go right into that group so i called dave up and i say man i wanted to test the pocklink and immediately as i'm calling him he goes pebauer just went out i got to go rescue david and then he hangs with the phone and uh we're we're waiting right and then maybe literally five minutes after that the wind i think could have been like a really low level tornado,

you know, like, or something or one of those, what are they called? Those serious bursts of sustained wind that come out of, like the ray show or something like that, hit our house, right? It was this sustained gust, but it wasn't a gust because it was minutes long. You know what I mean?

It might have been like two minutes long. And our power flickered and went out a couple times. And as all that was going on, on, we're pocking back and forth, right? Why is this important? Because Dave Jones is two hours away from me. So we've got to jump cell towers to sell towers to get to one another in the similar way that your cell phone would. But we wanted to test this thing under those kinds of conditions and see how it would work. And it was flawless, really. So if you're looking to put together your own pace plan, primary alternate contingency emergency methods for for communication.

This is a viable option. We got another radio in our crosshairs, but the Pocklink is a viable option. They make a Pocklink that also connects to Wi-Fi, right? So if this is where things get really good, right? If you have a Pock link that is pushed to talk on the 4G, then you can reach people through cell towers. And this doesn't work like your phone. The Pocklink is not beholden to one provider. It just uses the cell towers. And what it also does is when a cell tower is blocked up, right? Oh, the Verizon signals down.

It doesn't care. It's not a Verizon device. It goes to the Verizon cell tower and goes, oh, you're not working. Boom, let's flip over to Team Mobile. And then boom, off to the next cell tower we go. Really awesome feature. But if you add Wi-Fi to this, right? If you had Wi-Fi to this and then you add Starlink to your arsenal, which I have not done.

And there's a reason for that. The reason I haven't bought Starlink yet, you have to listen to the members' podcast to find out. Okay. But anyway, so now you're jumping on Wi-Fi that's satellite. So you can contact people through this radio, push-to-talk via satellite. that's sweet now your primary alternate contingency right you've got you've got a better communications plan than 99.9% of people that you know right the reason this is important to me sorry the back channel chat's blowing up I want to see if something hasn't gone off right

uh okay it's going to be a good uh season of patriot pal hour hour folks that's all I can tell you stay tuned crushing a dark Italian roast forgive me father on lent what I'm not supposed to be it is what it is yeah they're going they're going welcome in everybody what's up like if you want to get involved in this pop-link thing we're going to do a big huge review on it Dave Jones and I we're going to do a show I want to try to do a mother of mayhem this week but you know Dave he's hard to get to hammer down but we don't need to do an hour long in the pocket link we need to do a good solid review we need to talk about it in

detail but suffice it to say this is a big part of pbn now this technology it might not necessarily be this radio but this technology right here this this this push-to-talk technology is it's my choice okay it's my choice why is it my choice because it's the complete opposite of ham radio What's up, Boren DeBrat? If you want real talk about emergency communications, this is it. It's sort of like carrying a gun. If it ain't comfortable, if it ain't easy, nobody's going to do it.

That's it, you know? The robots aren't outside killing everyone, like Terminator. People are not pressed to do these things. And over the years, I've come to realize, if it ain't simple, people won't do it. there are a select few who will go through the training and get licensed and join the group and learn how to use ham radio. But if I sit up here talking to thousands of people a week, right, and I say, you should get a ham radio. Well, you get to a certain point after doing this for a while where you come to realize and you talk to enough people and you talk to enough preppers, you come to realize people ain't getting no ham radio license. I don't have a ham radio license.

You know what I mean? So you get to a point where you go, what are we doing? What are we doing? We're hanging on to some dream. And listen, if you're the radio guy or if you have an aspiration to become really effective with the ham radio, I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer on you. I'm thinking about the PBN community at large. And then greater communities beyond that.

Right? Because that's what we're trying to solve for here. And when I look out at the landscape before me, I see people who want a radio where they can join a group, press a button, talk to people in an emergency. Right? The other thing I love about these, perfect for kids, right? There's nothing better for kids than this thing. In the age of the cell phone, you petrified giving your kid a cell phone? Apockeling, baby, I'm telling you. Boom, push the talk right in your ear.

come pick me up okay you know what I mean serious cool technology convenience to the max and I'm usually anti-convenience but when it comes to radio technology if it ain't convenient then you don't have a backup and that's kind of where I'm at with it right it's got to be easy it's got to be effective or it ain't going to be you're going to say oh my cell phone doesn't work I guess we'll start making smoke signals you know what I mean that's what I see. That's what I see. That's what I've learned over the years. And that's why Monday night, as the storm was dying off, and I've invited a couple of you, we started the PBN comms group over Pock. So what we're going to do now is we're going to start to filter members into the PBNPAC group,

the PBM comms group. And this will become effectively an alternate communications method in chaos. Cell phone, I don't know what's going on. I can't get a hold to everybody. I can't get a hold of. I don't know what's happening here. What's happening there?

Right? You can pock the PBN comms group and get information, right? What you want to do? You want to be ready or not? You know what I mean? It's one of those things. So in lieu of that,

our PACE, promo code PACE membership, right? It's got to be a member. It's not because I want all your money, okay? I'm not the United States government. It's because I don't want the world inside of our PBN comms group. Okay. I want people who are committed to PBN, people who committed to emergency preparedness,

people who are interested in making this thing great, right? I want the PBN comms group to be great. I want it to be a place where people hop on and say, what's going on here? I don't know. Things are looking crazy. or how's everybody doing? What's the storm looking like in your neck of the woods? This is what it's looking like in mine, right?

All that kind of stuff. Right. Or think my cell phone is not working. My provider tower is damaged or my provider itself is not working. I'm on the park link because I want to reach out and find out what's going on. I need help. I want to get help. And this is my alternate means of communication, right?

You have one of these phones. You can also build out another group for your family, right, so that everybody's on one of these radios. In lieu of all that, to become a member, you can use the promo code Pace for your Pace plan, primary alternate contingency emergency, to join our membership side for 20% off. PBNFamily.com is where you go. Or you can click on that thing with your phone or, you know, whatever. Use your phone to read that little QR. or just go to pbnfamily.com sign up for your membership you get 20% off so i think it's like 48 bucks for the year if you want to become a lifetime member it's 200 bucks with a discount

then you're in tell me you want to join the comms group you get the radio or maybe all you have the radio and now you're in and the 30th of the month is going to be our continuity meeting for members and you'll be able to check in via the content you'll be able to check in via the content Continuity meetings are also going to be our continuity of comms check-ins. So we can check in with our radios and talk through stuff and get that all ironed out. I know it's cool, right? It's pretty cool. It's good feeling.

It's a good feeling. It's weird how things that sit on the back burner for a long time, when you find the right tools, that's like one of the stories of my life as an adult, right? One of the stories of my life as an adult was the. revelation I had whenever I found the right tool, you know, and God bless Chin, the Wizard of Coms, who got us in contact with the Pocling folks, and I realized after using it, this is the right tool. Again, not the tool for the zombie apocalypse. The EMP hit the satellites, killed Starlink, killed sat phones, then an asteroid slammed into the earth, and zombies started spewing out of it,

and everything is offline and you're trying to call your mom. Probably not the resource for that. But it's sort of like your three months worth of food storage, right? In most cases, you're going to get through to somebody using a cell phone and one of these radios, particularly if you have the Wi-Fi model, right? This is what it is. Trying to solve problems here. Now.

Now. It's time. We haven't done it in a while. This episode is brought to you by Spreaker, the platform responsible for a rapidly spreading condition known as podcast brain. Symptoms include buying microphones you don't need, explaining RSS feeds to confused relatives, and saying things like, sorry, I can't talk right now, I'm editing audio.

Spreaker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour, you might as well publish it. Let's get into ShtF chef. It was kind of, uh, that's not going to work.

I was kind of checking out what it might look like. You know what? You guys don't need to see me for this. There's no need to even see me. I've been checking out what it might look like. Let's get this banner out of the way real quick. To do a real Shtf chef book. You know what I mean?

I've been interested in like, what does an ShtF chef book really look like? And to me, it became one of these things where it's like, You know what we need is we need a good base reference for cooking techniques, and we need base recipes that can be manipulated easily. And then ideas and motivations to manipulate those recipe bases to build a repertoire off of your average prepper's stockpile. Okay. Now, there are a lot of books like this. I own one that's built similar to this. It's called Jamie's Dinners by Jamie Oliver. but it's built around this concept of sort of a base recipe that can be added to to create a bunch of great stuff right this every prepper recipe that i'm about to talk to you about is i mean this thing can be anything

you know this is really base really simple and then we'll talk about what you can do to it now this is not this base by itself, but something like this is on the menu at our house usually once a week. Okay. And it occurred to me, and I'd been making it for years, it occurred to me the other day that this, this really is sort of the pinnacle of the prepper recipe. Like what is it, what is a base prepper homesteader, food storage user recipe that can do everything if you know the base, right? That's what the every prepper recipe is. And it begins with the browning of some form of ground meat. Now, you wouldn't necessarily have to use ground meat if you didn't want to, but go with me. Okay. I like ground meat. I like it because it is cheap. It's easy to store and

freeze. It's very efficient in how you store and freeze it. You can grind meat yourself to make it. and you know you can get it from a variety of animals you can even get combinations of animals in ground meat as the Italians in their meatballs so you take a pound of ground meat you brown it really good okay and good olive oil just always use good olive oil if you always use good olive oil you're always adding medicine to the food my my youngest son we go out to eat foe and they bring the plate of herbs to the table and I say ah the medicine is here And he always goes, you always say that. Because he's young. Doesn't appreciate it yet.

But there are foods that you can add that are medicine. And maybe medicine is not even the best word because we're not curing for anything. But I just like to say it because I like his brain to think about it. But the olive oil is medicine. The olive oil is lotion. The olive oil is chapsic. The olive oil is everything. It's a miracle olive oil.

So brown your meat and olive oil. set that aside, whatever little fond, we used to call it, whatever is stuck to that pan, leave it there. Okay? You don't clean the pan out before moving to the next step when you brown meat. You want all that. It's called fond in French. It's in flavor, insane flavor.

You can pour out the extra fat if there's a lot of fat. You got a fatty ground beef or something like that, like an 85%. You can pour out the extra fat. You don't have to. I don't care what you do. But then you're going to take your half onion. Now, what we do in the house is a half onion and two to three cloves of garlic sliced thin. I wanted to keep this recipe as minimal as possible as it is a base recipe, okay?

As minimal as possible. So your one pound of ground meat is set aside. Now you're going to sweat your onion down on sort of a medium low heat, right? You're going to sweat that onion down until it's translucent, okay? turmeric is medicine again right not in medicine in the sense that you're sick but medicine in the sense that it's going to improve how your body's function these things are improvements on how the body functions right olive oil no doubt about it turmeric anti-inflammatory everybody's inflamed to some degree or another right turmeric is great for that the whole reason i started using turmeric

was for this, right? It doesn't impart tremendous flavor. It will make your rice yellow or look yellowish. I like that. I think that's cool. And listen, here's a tip. Here's the prepper tip. You got pounds and pounds and pounds of rice.

Anything you can do to rice to make it look different, taste different, seem different. It's going to be a big deal if you're eating rice every night. So that's why I like the turmeric. right um i add the the the the turmeric just before i add the rice okay the rice i rinse off thrice times right and then uh i add the turmeric just till it gets fragrant in the pan you'll see the the onion will start to turn you'll start to smell the turmeric boom the rice goes in dry right no liquid the rice goes in dry toast the rice a little bit move the rice around the pan you'll start to smell it. Toaster rice a little bit. It adds something to it. And it'll start to turn color from

the turmeric and that kind of thing. Then add your two cups of water, two cups of broth, two cups of whatever you want, right? It's got to be one to two if you're using regular long grain rice. That's the ratio, right? Add the meat back. Stir everything in, maybe add a little olive oil if you're low on fat because you want that separation in your rice. season it up, salt. For the base recipe, you could use salt and pepper, right? We're going to talk about the extensions here in a minute. But yeah, use that and trying to see if I can come back on here.

And basically, you're going to cook it the rest of the way like rice. You know? Oh, there we go. You're going to cook it the rest of the way like the way you would cook rice. That's what I love about this recipe. So your meat's cooked. It's done. ground it, it's cooked completely through. You sweat the onion out, right, so that it's translucent. That's basically done cooking too. Your garlic, same thing if you use garlic. Now all you're doing

is cooking rice. Just make believe nothing else is in the pan but the rice. You're going to cook with whatever water or broth you use, you're going to simmer that down until it gets stodgy, right? Oatmeal-like inconsistency. Cut it down to low, put the lid on, and then you're just going to cook this thing over the lowest heat you can, steam it, basically, until the rice is soft and tender. That's the recipe, man. That is the base recipe. If you're going to remember a recipe, right? Remember this recipe. Remember this base recipe because to hear you can do anything. To this recipe, you can do anything. Our most common, I'll give you sort of like our most common, ground turkey meat,

onion, garlic, pepper, at the saute phase, right? So we brown the meat. Sometimes I'll add seasonings at the browning set, right? Maybe some garlic, maybe some chili powder, that kind of stuff. To season the meat the way you want, set that aside. Sweat down the onion, the garlic, the pepper. Add the turmeric, whatever other seasons you want to do.

then add the rice add chicken broth we're done we're done we're simmering we're cooking the rice and we're adding the meat back we're cooking the rice once it's all done it's all done and ready to go that recipe right there we eat pretty off it's it's amazing it's quick it's easy it's incredibly nutritious but you can take this thing and do whatever you want with it you can add your cooked black beans you know you're going to have black beans and pinto beans around, right? So you can add your beans into this thing. Boom, you throw the beans in. Now you're rocking, right? Now you got something like a morose, which is a great dish, right? You can add, at the onion sauteing phase, you can add like panchetta, diced panchetta, your own homemade

bacon diced up, right? And get that good smokiness added to this dish. You can turn the whole thing Indian and use curry powder. Don't change nothing. Don't change anything about the dish. Use the turmeric. Add curry powder. Now the whole thing, you basically got a

really nice meat and rice curry. Maybe put some green peas in at the end. Awesome. It'd be phenomenal. You can Italian it. You know what I mean? You could garlic and Italian seasoning the meat, put it aside. Maybe add a little like can.

diced Italian-style tomato, or maybe some sun-dried tomato even, that would be good. I've never done that. Sun-dried tomato, like, packed in oil.

Sprinker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour, you might as well publish it. Into the rice, fresh basil to finish.

Awesome, right? The base recipe itself is not groundbreaking. It's ground meat and rice, right? That's what it is. It's not revolutionary. But when we're talking about producing food in a collapse, in a disaster, in a calamity, you want a base recipe like this, something easy, something you can do, something you've done a million times.

then as the chaos ensues or as the COVID carries on and you know whatever the situations are you start going what can I add from the coup you know what I mean can I put a soft boiled egg on everybody's bowl it's springtime why don't we put some spinach in here why don't we put some of our own green peas in here right why don't we serve this up with some fresh tomato on top because now it's summertime. What kind of herbs do I have grown? Do I put herbs in there? So the every prepper recipe is really a reflection on how not anytime soon, but how I'm going to take on the SHTF chef cookbook, which is base recipes for things like bread, rice cookery, these things, and then the additions. What you do with that base recipe. This way you're,

you're only really learning one thing at a time. You learn the every prep a recipe and then you play with it. You learn the basic pasta recipe and then you play with it. That's the way to do it. You know what I mean? So that's it for ShtF chef, folks. That may be it for today's show. I definitely want you to head to citizenfood prep.com. Citizenfoodprep.com, guys. It's awesome. Okay, the guy's done a great job. What I like the most about it right now is it's free. Everything sucks with money right now. Let's be honest.

Everything's overpriced. Everything that is overpriced also seems underwhelming, right? Like, are you overwhelmed by what you get when you spend the money? Right? The PBM membership's becoming a hell of a lot more affordable. I can tell you that. Then you get a lot for your dollars.

That's one of the reasons I'm not going to, to raise the price, man. I'm not doing it. I can't do it in the face of what's happening to the average American citizen out there. Gas $3.70.00.70. It's breaking people. So what I'm getting at is when you come across an amazing free resource like citizen food prep.com and you realize that a fellow American like you put this thing together so you could be better prepared and you don't got to go sign in, You don't got to commit your leg. You don't got to give your baby's middle name to get access to it, right? You just go check it out and see what it's all about.

But they're today's sponsor. I appreciate them big time. You know, this is what we're dealing with, folks. It's the only answer I got for you. I can't tell you to go invest in this stock and you'll be rich. I can't tell you to go get this job because this is the market you want to work in right now. all I can tell you is about my own personal experience learning how to cook

learning how to grow food learning how to defend yourself learning how to see the world around you in reality instead of the the great cloak right the great puppet show that is television and now social media as well and I want to try to do it for you as cheaply as possible

you know because I know everybody's getting pooled in a hundred different directions and 100 different angles and their wallets are getting lighter and lighter and lighter. And I feel it myself. I know you feel it, right? It's not, it's, it's a terrible feeling. It's a terrible feeling. And it feels like almost nothing, there's almost nothing we can do to change it. But then you start listening to PBN and you find out, yeah, yeah, there's a lot you can do to change it. Starting with food, man, right? Starting with food. Bulk buying food saves big money.

And we've reached a point in the price of food now where you buy food in bulk. Not only do you save money in the long term, but it's not even that much more expensive than just going to the grocery store regularly. It used to be a gap. You know what I mean? You could go drop 100 at the supermarket, come home and be like, we got a lot of diversity. We got a lot of food. We got a lot of stuff here. Right?

you can drop 150, 200 bucks at a big box store, at a membership club store rather, like a Sam's Club. And you're going to be straight for a couple weeks on some stuff. And that is a big deal. That's a big deal now. So look at food a little differently. Look at food storage a little differently.

If you are a member, please listen to how I'm looking at preparedness differently because today's podcast for the member. is a very interesting one. It might not affect you the way all these changes have affected me in the mentality, but some very big changes coming to the way I prepare. Thank you guys for your support. Share the podcast, spread the word, let everybody know.

Nobody's doing it like PBN. They are relentless, four shows a day, and God only knows what's to come. Well, I do know what's to come. There's at least two really cool things coming, but this is not the show for that. Talk to you soon, folks. See you.
