Today I want to talk about the sure-fire way to get your kids into prepping. To get your kids studied up on survival skills. The one activity that every kid loves male or female, little boy, little girl doesn't matter. It sounds counterintuitive, but the best thing you can do with a kid is let them play with fire. Truly. Truly. It's one of the best things that you can do. I'm monitored, obviously, right? When you're there watching and making sure everything's going the way that it should go,

I found no other thing, not knives, not even guns, as alluring to children, as, let's go start a fire. Or let's start a fire in the fireplace. Or let's play with this new fire starter. Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire. Kids love fire, man. I think everybody loves fire. You know what I mean? But kids, they're just opening about it.

They're not quite as distracted yet by world events that they can't enjoy playing with fire. Through my history as a parent, I've always noticed that that's just the fun of it. You know, it really is. It's just the fun of it. It's one of the best ways to break a kid from whatever it is they're doing to come right to you, to hang with you. And then oftentimes, not all the time, hasn't worked for me all the time, but oftentimes, the creation of a fire leads to what, the sitting around and the poking at a fire, the sitting around and cooking over a fire, the sitting around and talking about life near the fire. And all of a sudden you take a moment that could have been dominated by screens or whatever else, and you turn it into a moment where you're burning wood with your child and they're learning, you know, whatever point. part of that skill they know or have practiced, right? That could be, you know what, try, try lighting

this Tinder bundle with your ferro rod. Try lighting this, uh, whatever. This new fire starter that I got. Try lighting it with your ferro rod. Try lighting it with, uh, you know, one day me, my son and I, we just played around with the, we just set shit on fire with the, the frenel lens, you know, and we had a ball with that. It was a great time. And it's just, that's just, that's it's just that fire business breaks the kids away from everything everybody loves starting fires trust me on that all right it's your prepper tip of the day folks have a great day have a marvelous day talk to you soon
