You're listening to PBN. You're playing back the stability. What is up, everybody? PBN family, how you doing out there? Thursday, tremendous day at the Prepper Broadcasting Network. I don't want to pat myself on the back too much last night, but I took a walk with the dogs and the family in the evening. The family minus the eldest son. And I don't know, it did something.

The summer air. Maybe it was the pressure, the barometric pressure from the incoming storm. It affects the fish. And I am a Pisces, who knows. The show was awesome. It was a great show on civil unrest It was a great show on who runs the streets in America today

And I had a great time, it was good The I Am Liberty show, check it out, last night Today we're going to touch on a number of things What's in the bag? What's in the bag? What's in the bag? What's in the bag? Has anybody got an idea what's in the bag? Look closely.

I'll tell you this much about what's in the bag. They're all the same thing. They're different colors, but they are all the same thing. That I can assure you. That I can assure you. That I can tell you, that they are all the same thing. Let's see. A little peek.

A little something, a little... Just a little something, a little... They're all the same thing. There's a lot of good guesses that came through from yesterday, but the the quest goes on many of you out there who are

listening watching you guys who are PBN members I'm gonna try to get each one of you one of these because they're so sweet they're so sweet they're so me I don't know try to get each one of you one of these because they're so sweet. They're so sweet. They're so me.

I don't know. That's a tough one. That's a tough one to follow. What the hell are we talking about today? There's a million things going on, man. I really need you to download the Collapse Survivor app. I'm doing some marketing work for them, and I could use people downloading it and taking

advantage of the scenarios that I do over there, or that they do over there. They're fun, man. They're fun, and you'll learn a lot about yourself and the decisions you make. And to be honest with you, the scenarios that are created by Drew Miller are as real as real gets. Not that you need more to worry about. There's enough to worry about in the real world. But so in the room over here, I've got probably about two, no, three large ball jars full of wax melting. And we're creating something called Bigfoot fur. Bigfoot fur is a little survival creation that my oldest son and I came up with years and years ago. And it was, the concept was given to me by, oh snap, the hatter is with us. What's up, buddy? concept was given to me by oh snap the hatter is with us what's up buddy that the concept was given to us by uh um oh my god i'm drawing a blank on this woman and i can't melinda lee melinda lee

who i haven't seen in chat in a while but is an amazing homesteader extraordinaire Has a group, teaches groups. Really awesome. Melinda Lee, we miss you. I think she sent us all the stuff to do it with melted crayons and shredded newspaper in a wax cup like you put ketchup in. So you take the crayons, melt them down, dump it all over the shredded paper. The kids, it might have been a kid at the time, I think it was just Carter,

got in there and mixed it all up. It was disgusting. We put it into a wax cup, and then we tested it out. And that stuff's amazing. I mean, that is an incredible fire extender, man, unbelievable. I took it a step further. My wife burns scented wax around the house. Smells great. And then when the scent goes away, the wax goes away. So we started to save the wax and like in no time we'll get ball jars full of this wax. So I said, you know what,

scratch the crayons. We'll use that. And you know, whenever it comes to prep stuff, whenever it comes to almost everything that I do pertaining to self-sufficiency and preparedness, like 99% of things that I do have everything to do with sustainable repeatability, right? Like not necessarily off-grid worlds, collapse repeatability. That's great. But within my own lifestyle how can i do this again how can i do this again and again and again right and for a long time i'd been practicing uh ferro rod over dryer lint ferro rod and dryer lint is where it's at the dryer lint's free and you really can learn to use a ferro rod well. I was learning how to start fires in my fireplace, you know, a decade ago with ferro rod and dryer lint, taking it out back, taking it on camping. So I already knew the dryer lint, and I keep dryer lint, man, like big bags of it.

Ziploc bag of dryer lint, big one, into your bug out bag, into your camping bag, into whatever. It's the best, and it's free. I mean, even if you don't dry clothes, even if you do dry cleaning, you can probably just run up into a dry cleaner, like a laundromat, and take the dryer lint. They're not going to be mad at you, but dryer lint's dry lint's amazing free incredibly flammable it's it's exactly what you see bushcraft guys making when they're doing like barks and getting fibery you know dried grasses and all that kind of stuff so you got it it's inside your dryer pull it out keep throw it in a ziploc bag put it in a bug out bag or camping bag, whatever, get home bag. So what we did is we took the dryer lint and we took

the melted wax and we combined those two together, right? And then we stick that into the little wax ketchup cup, the wax paper cup, and a little more wax on top of that. And it looks disgusting. It looks absolutely horrendous. I should have brought one for the uh the video feed but so we we mixed the dryer lint we mixed the wax we put it in the wax paper cup we let it dry and my son when he was about three or four we were watching like finding bigfoot and stuff at night and he i remember him saying dad it looks like bigfoot fur because it's disgusting and furry because it looks, you know, most of our dryer lint is like dog fur anyway. And I remember that's what he said. He said, Dad, it looks like Bigfoot fur.

And the rest is history. So now we make Bigfoot fur on a regular basis, pack it up. And these things, when you light a cup of Bigfoot fur, which is no bigger than like this, you know, it's no bigger than like two by two. When you light one of these wax cups with the dryer lint, with the wax mixed in, it's 15 minute burn. It's like a 15 minute burn. Hatter in chat says he does the same thing but puts them in egg carton slots. That's a good move too. That's a good move.

The egg carton slot, the cardboard, not styrofoam. But yeah, the cardboard one will do it. The styrofoam one will kill everyone. I'm just kidding. So that's Bigfoot fur. Make some. If nothing else, start using your wasted dryer lint to get better at making fire or to make fire easier.

What I know to be true about Bigfoot Fern, why we use it, is that you can start a fire in any condition with it. I don't know. That's the deal. That's pretty much the deal. So our one-threat-one solution today is going to be interesting because it's not a focus on threat per se. Let's pretend that we live in a world where there's a bunch of threats already, which is the reality. And I want to talk about sort of an outcome

on One Threat, One Solution, and I'll get into it in just a second. Now, I want to give Michael Snyder at the Economic Collapse Blog all the credit in the world. He wrote this article. This article has gone crazy in a number of places. I don't know if it's the title, the context. I'm not sure what it is. I posted it up on Instagram, and it went absolutely insane, you know, really crazy, viral. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are going off off grid in anticipation of what is coming 250 000 they're saying live off grid what's interesting about this article though and this

is more of like the one threat one one solution side of one threat one solution we know the threats we know why people are tapping out we know why they're running to the woods. We know why they're saying it's time to live off-grid. You know, my personal point of view on off-grid living is I feel like personal. Do what you want. If it works for you, do it. I literally just did a whole video on this for our membership last week, right? Do what works for you. That said, I do feel like my grandfathers and great-grandfathers would be rolling around in their grave after fighting in wars, living through depressions, living through depressions if they saw, you know, their progeny in me and my kids crapping in five-gallon buckets. You know what I mean?

It's a weird thing. I don't know if it exists in our society as much as it used to. But you honor the sacrifice of those who came before you and their desire to see you live better than they did. This is a thing in my family and in a lot of families where I grew up. Heritage and so on, they're important they were important things and i i always think about that i always think about like and you know we could do it in a i don't know there's just a thing about that you know like the conveniences and the comforts of the modern world are dangerous there's no doubt about it they're dangerous dangerous. They make you weak. They. But, you know, he,

I'm sure he would say, enjoy life to the best of your ability, man. Like, that's what we've been on about for the last, you know, however many thousands of years that we've been suffering to survive. however many thousands of years that we've been suffering to survive. On-grid, off-grid balance is my concept, okay? Brooke Morgan, this is from the article now, Brooke Morgan surveyed booths at the Survival and Prepper show in Colorado that were stocked with ammunition, mounds of trauma medical kits. That's good writing right there. That's a good way to represent that, mounds.

And every type of knife imaginable. Here's where it gets interesting. A self-described 30-year-old lesbian from Indiana, Morgan is one of a new breed of Americans getting ready to survive political upheaval and natural catastrophes. This is the growing, well, this is a growing segment of the preparedness movement, right? I've said for years, guys, you want to talk about unity. You don't go to Joe Biden to talk about unity. You talk about survival. You talk about prepping.

This is a place we all can understand. It's not about the details of how you do it or if you live off grid or if you're vegan or whatever the hell you do is what you do. But at the end of the day, we can all understand we want to take steps to survive and thrive in this life right really not that hard to understand um a pursuit now this is a weird one a pursuit until recently was largely associated with far-right movements such as white nationalists since the 1980s that's not really that true researchers say numbers of preppers have doubled in size, about 20 million since 2017.

So, you know, the article goes on to discuss a various reasoning why people are going off-grid, different off-grid groups, a community of society shunning Americans launched a survivalist haven in utah uh fearful you know sort of the village-esque concepts of why people do it um yeah it's a great article man it's a great article. It's gone absolutely insane because it's – this is what Americans are looking for, I think. I think fundamentally at the end of the day, Americans are looking for answers to what the hell is happening politically, with the world, whatever kind of things they're afraid of, war, climate.

Everybody's got their to-do list when it comes to wake up and worry. But I think they're also looking for a majority movement that they can align with. You know, for the longest time, preppers were fringe. You know, we were fringe people doing fringe things that didn't make sense. People would laugh and, you know, pick us apart and all that kind of stuff, whatever, you know. When you get on the path, it doesn't matter, you know. It's like, it feels the same way that Christianity feels, you know what I mean? Like, in this day and age full of atheism and doubt and, you know, sardonic takes on religion to begin with, sardonic takes on religion to begin with like it always feels like the barrier to entry to religion is is a serious one because there's a lot of bullshit to wade through before you start to

get to the gems where you're like oh this is real like this is real um but once you're in it then it just feels like who why like what what's going on out there? Why would you live life that way out there? That seems crazy. Err. So, yeah, the on-grid, off-grid balance. You know, it is my, three years ago, I think it was now, I helped write a book called No Grid Survival Projects.

I talk about it all the time. It is exactly what it sounds like. 70 or so projects, step-by-step, materials needed, priced, power generation, cooking, fuel making, property layout, gardening, everything off-grid, bathrooms, so on and so forth. Jay Ferg, what is up? Good morning. The creator of the mystery bag. We already talked about the bag this morning, Jay Ferg. They might be getting close. They might be getting close.

I gave them a couple peeks and a hint. couple peaks um and a hint so everything that you need primarily you know to get at least get started for me it's about the on-grid off-grid balance it's about having the capability to be off-grid but not necessarily rushing headlong into uh well you know not enjoying the incredible scientific advancements of our modern age. Let's go with that. So that's in the show description down below in the link tree. You can find it, No Grid Survival Projects. There's all kinds of – dude, if you really are into preparedness, our link tree down in the description of the show, video,

whatever you're watching, so full of of great stuff it's unbelievable i mean it's so full of solutions for you if you and they're all good they're all vetted they're all either created by me or pod um sponsors that we you know align with i don't know but i can only, shove gently in the right direction. I can't wake up next to you every day and say, get to work. All right. Let's get into words today. We are going to the Bible.

We are going to Ecclesiastes. For those of you who love Proverbs, keep going. You read through your Proverbs. You hit Ecclesiastes. Keep going. You read through your Proverbs. You hit Ecclesiastes. Keep going. This is my favorite guy. You know what I mean? This is my favorite guy in the Bible who does the writing. Let's go

with that. When you read enough of the Bible and understand enough of the Bible, it's hard for you to wrap your head around the fact that we don't read the Bible in school. You know what I mean? Separation church and state, I get all that, but it depends on how you look at this thing. The Bible is the most incredible, successful, outrageous history book, and you can't, you know, there's some people who bristle at that but there is enough in the bible that has all to do with how you are to live life or how to

live a bad life how to live a good life how to really screw it up how to really win the things that are important to humans before humans even realize it, right? Because what do children know about what's important to a human, right? I want to get on and play video games with my friends, and that's the most important thing online for me today. The value set in this book, like, you can read the Bible and not be like, well, I guess I'm 100% religious now. And if you think that, there's like this weird idea that if you pick this book up and read it,

it will transform you against your will, right? Like it's some kind of book from hell. You know what I mean? Like it'll possess you. Some of the ideas will likely possess you. But, you know, being religious, being Christian takes work. You know, it's not...

You read enough of this book and you start to realize what a roadmap it is for success for people. Even if you have nothing to do with roadmap it is for success for people. Even if you have nothing to do with God, just the lessons within it, if you can think, you know, to the degree that a seven or eight year old can think. And it's just crazy to me that we don't teach it in the schools, that we don't read it or read the high-level teachings in schools. Of all the books that can be read in school, of all the things that can be taught in school, you have a human being user manual, right?

Like the user manual for humans. That's what the Bible is. Now you can read the beginning of chapters and go cross-eyed, right? And she was the brother of he and and he was the brother of her, and the second cousin of this one, and that one knew, and he would rule the many. But if a teacher took time, right? And I was never taught on the Bible, man.

I read the Bible enough to understand the things, and I go in and read things that other people tell me to read who are way smarter on it. But the idea that it's like this document that can't enter schools is so hilarious, looking at the condition of schools, the condition of society today. And not from—I want you to understand, I'm not saying that push all children to God and they will be saved. Maybe that'll happen. I don't know. I know a lot of people who were very heavily pushed to God and are long gone from this planet, right? What I do know is there's a bunch of information in this book that help people in very confusing and terrifying times figure out this is what it is to be human.

This is what it is to live a good life. And if you think that a bunch of people are walking around this planet right now with a clear path on what it means to be human and what it means to live a good life, don't look like it to me, okay? So, you know, you think about getting Bibles handed down to you from, like, dead relatives or important people or things like that. This little Bible here is from my kid, from my son, my oldest son. It wasn't necessarily a gift, but it's just one of those things you wind up with a Bible in your hand, and you're like, didn't expect it to come from here.

So, like I said, you read Proverbs, enjoy Proverbs, but also get on Ecclesiastes right after Proverbs. All right, so we're going to read this and close out the show. Where are we at here? Ecclesiastes 9.9. I'm not in the right place. Hang on one second. There we are. All right, this won't resonate with everyone,

but if you're married, or becoming married soon, or particularly if you're a dude, I don't know, this is one of my favorite pieces of writing in the Bible, period. And it goes beyond just the marriage of it all, right? Ecclesiastes 9.9 Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life, which she has given you under the sun

all your days of vanity. For that is your portion in life. And in the labor which you perform under the sun, whatever your hands find to do, do it with your might. For there's no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. Enjoy your wife, enjoy your marriage, enjoy your relationships, that's it. You will die.

And guess what? Enjoy that shitty job that you hate. Even though you hate it and your boss is a retard, go in and do a good job. How many times you walk into a place and you see people who would rather commit suicide than wait on you? The race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong

nor bread to the wise nor riches to the men understanding nor favor to men of skill. But time and chance happen to them all. For man also does not know his time. Like fish taken in a cruel net, like birds caught in a snare, so the sons of men are snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them.

Wisdom is better than strength. Nevertheless, the poor man's wisdom is despised. You got to read Ecclesiastes, okay? I know a lot of people love Proverbs, but keep going. Read through your Proverbs and then get into Ecclesiastes. I feel like he just, you know, some of the Proverbs I read and I go like, I kind of understand that. I could go many ways with that. Ecclesiastes just hammers it down. Enjoy life with your wife, dude. Know that you're full of ego and vain and God has given you this portion in life to enjoy. And don't overthink it, stupid.

Have a good time because you will be dead soon. And on top of all of that, do good works. If you've been hired to do a job, do it with all your effort and do it well. And then one day you'll be shuffled off this mortal coil and that's it. That's your story. You know, such a great reminder, particularly for preppers, because we're always fretting about one thing or another. All right, folks, it's time to sign off. I thank all of you today.
