You're listening to PBN. You're playing back the stability. What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. Forbid it, almighty God. I know not what course others may take. As for me, give me liberty or give me death. I am Liberty Live. Welcome, PBN family. Thanks for joining me.

Wednesday night, James Walton here. James Walton is the head of the Prepper Broadcasting Network. He is known for his work in the field of emergency preparedness and self-reliance.

I think Copilot has a crush on the Intrepid Commander I'm just saying I'm just saying the AI is very favorable of me I don't know why I'm not quite sure Should we consult Chad GPT? See what he thinks See what they think

We are the they The show has an inflammatory title. And it is... Preppers don't know shit, right? I'm interested in... What AI has to say about me because... It's a weird thing, you know? Oh, wow. Interesting.

See, things change rapidly. This one from ChatGPT, the description of who James Walton is, is almost identical to Copilot. I don't know. There are many ways to measure what's happening with AI, but I can tell you it's changing on a regular basis. So the inflammatory title of the show came from, I don't know, just thinking. Like, do you know what it takes to become a prepper? What's it take? What's the entry fee for prepping? Zero, nothing Nothing You just wake up one day and say The world's screwed and I see it And those are the qualifications

You realize the world's fragile And then you say Well I know my buddy's wife Has been getting into prepping lately So I guess I'll get into it too I know the truth about some preppers been getting into prepping lately, so I guess, you know, I'll get into it too. I know the truth about some preppers better than most because when I became a prepper myself, I went right to the airwaves. I did not pass go.

I did not collect $200. I went right to the microphone. Now, I admitted to the audience, I said, you know, I don't really know what I'm doing. But I think we can figure it out together. And thus, oh God, 12 years later. 12 years later, the I Am Liberty show still reigns. That's impressive. 12 years then. First six years probably were no money, nothing.

No, you know, I remember when my podcast was solo on Libsyn. And I'd get excited because my podcast had 47 downloads. You know what I mean? Because my podcast had 47 downloads. You know what I mean? And I don't, listen, I don't back off of that either. Like, there's a weird thing that happens with numbers and downloads and likes. And it is, you lose how amazing it is that 40 people listen to you because remember this was this was also before alternative media was as big as it was 2012 not everybody's best and favorite

things were on their phone people were still watching television still believed the media to some degree still thought that big pharma was out to fix you right up still thought that falchi was anything but a but a damon um so i always appreciated that i always appreciated the fact that I talked into my phone for an hour and 47 people listened to it. And some of those people were Joe Prim. Some of those people were Ryan Buford. Some of those people were Chin Gibson. I mean, awesome people. People that I look at and look up to. Explain that one. But all these years later years later man many prepper shows and content creators hence the reason i titled the show the way i did is because you know how do you know

who can vet all of them right who can vet them all? Why should I listen to PrepperMama1229's video on the World Economic Forum and how to prepare for it? What are the qualifications? And of course, the interesting thing about it all is that you don't need qualifications, right? Did I put this in a live show? Oh, I did. The most beautiful thing about being a prepper is the entrance is nil. The entrance fee is nil.

We're wide open, baby. Always taking applicants. But the reason I titled the show what I titled it is because everybody's coming at this thing from a different angle. And we also always have to beware. We always have to beware of people who are out to sell you a thing, over-prepare you for a thing.

You know what I mean? I live in this world, in this conundrum world now. It's day three since the World of Ready is published, and I thought I'd have a Sauvignon Blanc. Very rare for me. If you are terrified of alcohol Or if you don't have a good relationship with alcohol Or if you have no relationship with alcohol I would tell you that one of the best ways to live with alcohol Is to make a pact that you drink only to celebrate It's really hard to go wrong that way

I remember my sister's boyfriend, years and years and years ago, was drinking at home alone. And this was a big deal in my sister's eyes, and I'll never forget her talking about it. She was kind of mad at him. What are you doing drinking at home alone? It portends something much worse, right?

And what I've devised, because I don't really, I'm not a huge fan of alcohol to begin with. But what I've devised, this was laying around because I had a, it was open. Because I had a shrimp scampi last week. It's phenomenal. Shrimp scampi. You make shrimp scampi, right? Saute the shrimp in butter on low heat. Don't kill your shrimp.

If they shrivel up to nothing, you killed them. I like the shell on. I like the veined shell on. Shell has a lot of flavor in it. Once that shrimp is looking good, lots of minced garlic. Once that minced garlic gets fragrant, then it's the white wine. You reduce the white wine and the liqueur de shrimp down a bit.

And then you mount au beurre. Or in other words, you know, mount with butter. And lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of butter. And I had mine over linguine. I love it. Scampi over linguine. Scampi over linguine. Scampi over angel hair. You know, it's just one of my favorites.

It's easy. It's easy. It's French-Italian food. It doesn't even make sense, really, when you think about it. Shrimp scampi is such a weird thing. When you hear shrimp scampi, you think Italian, right? But, I mean, it's, I don't know. Do you think Italian?

To me, it's always been better with pasta than anything else, but it's decidedly French cooking, white wine, tons of butter, right? I don't know. Welcome, garden girl. Thanks for joining me tonight. Appreciate it. So yeah, an inflammatory title to get a point across. And the point is there are a lot of new preppers. You can look at the title a number of ways. There are a lot of new preppers, and I do think they don't know what the hell is going on. Because it's really hard to know what's going on. It's hard to know what to do.

It's hard to know what to do. It's hard to know, you know, when you're in what I call the purchasing phase as a prepper, you're in a different realm than the hosts of the prepper broadcasting network. You're in a different phase. It's like the nine circles of prepping. You're just in a different phase. You know, there's more buying than doing because you haven't established the things to do yet. So you start to think to yourself that prepping is this game, this checklist game. And I get through this checklist and everything's going to be okay. And as you become an old rogue lion on the field, on the, what is the word I'm looking for?

The Serengeti of prepping. Prepping becomes more doing than buying. You are somewhere along that, somewhere along that on your journey, right? Somewhere along that path. You're either entered into the buying phase exclusively, trying to figure out the best bag, trying to figure out the best knife, trying to figure out the best guns, trying to figure out the food storage thing and calculating that. If you are in the buying phase, listen to me, please. I wish I had access to these tools. You should really consider membership. pbnfamily.com, sign up, and you immediately will have access to my sheet. It's just a one sheeter. And it's

just a breakdown of how many calories are in a five gallon bucket of this, that, and the other thing. Rice, sugar, flour, powdered milk, different oils. I mean, it's just, it's perfect if you're new and you're just getting things figured out and you're saying to yourself, I need a million and a half calories for a year's worth of food. What should that look like? Right? And of course we have our homesteading and prepping spreadsheet up there that is, you know, that it's a calculation spreadsheet that you tell it, I'm bringing six people into my home, or I'm going to have a total of eight people in my home. How many chickens, how many goats, how many ducks, how much rice, how many beans? It does it all. It spits it all out. It's brilliant.

Designed by the—whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on a second. Whoa. Hang on a second. Designed by the folks over at Fortitude Ranch. Check out the Collapse Survivor app while you're at it. Listen to me. Something just came across my screen. I brought up the internet because I have a big Preppers in the news search here in front of me. And I need to tell you about this. This is so cool. And if it's close by, I'm going. Go inside Airbnb's real life X-Men 97 mansion complete with danger room and

more. Now you say this is too good to be true, right? Please don't be in California. Please don't be on the West Coast. During Airbnb's 2024 summer release event, the vacation company revealed that it was able to transform a house that looked exactly like Xavier's school for the Newcastle, New York, into a cartoon-like experience. Train in the war room with professional stunt coordinators? Oh, I don't want to do that

try on cerebros helmet i do that uh create potions and be slab that sounds fun recreate wolverine's iconic photograph meme oh that's that's clutch receive a diploma from the institute of higher learning by professor x where is it it sounds too too West Coast to be anywhere near me. Airbnb collaborated with Microsoft to repurpose its 30-year-old operating systems to make the working boom boxes and painstakingly hand-painted every prop. Oh, man. Did they paint the rooms? The rooms?

man. Did they paint the rooms? The uphouses experience also? Where do I find this thing? Shrek swamp? Where are these things? The hell's going on? They have a video. It's an enormous mansion. Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning. It looks great. I'd really love to know where it is. There's a sentinel head in the front yard. Smashed. There better be a guy in a wheelchair to greet me. No?

Oh, my God. There's pictures of... Oh, my God. It's beautiful. Yellow walls. Giant stairwells. Check out the freaking war room there's cerebros helmet it's real they've got excuse me they got the x-men here's the danger room now that is wild looking man there's a little little fake little spinning saws in the room and fake lasers.

For those of you who don't know, the danger room is like a mixed reality training facility for the X-Men. Oh my god, this is way too cool. I can't believe they wrote a whole article about this and it won't tell you where it's at. I can't believe they wrote a whole article about this And it won't tell you where it's at Into a cart Is it in Newcastle, New York? A house that looked exactly like it was in Newcastle Okay, it is in Newcastle, New York

Book it, baby What do we Oh my god They got Jubilee's bedroom And her coat's in the closet. What? It's only $97 per guest? There's no way. It's gotta be sold out.

All right, I'm going. You guys have a good night. I appreciate you all. I gotta go book. This is way too cool. Let me see all these photos. Can I look at these photos? Do you mind?

We've got Jubilee on the wall here. They've painted things to resemble a cartoon. Jubilee's bedroom is so sweet. Her gloves are there. Her visor is there. That's a video game. Rollerblades up in there. No way.

Professor Xavier's office with Magneto's helmet on the corner of the desk. Oh, my God. It's so sweet. The Wolverine room. Samurai swords. Oh, my God. They got the picture of Scott and Gene. Unreal.

Who did this? What a wonderful person. Beast's Lab. They got Cyclops room. Oh, they got like a dress-up room. I don't know if you actually dress up. That's not what I mean. Don't put it past me.

It's like a storm outfit, a visor. Oh, everybody's costume's in there. Gambit's whole rig is in there. Get out of here. Oh, my God. This is so cool, man. Dazzler. Anyway, that was the biggest squirrel

In all of podcast history That's what that was Awesome, totally awesome Who wouldn't want to do that It's a good thing it's not February That'd be my birthday spot For sure Anybody else tired of updates

On the Donald Trump cases and the university stuff? Oh my God, please. Please. It's become like a monotonous hum in my head. Columbia University. Oh, my God. Anything but that. Anything but that. Since Garden Girl is in chat, I should let her know about the MessengerNews.com tax holiday for preppers in East Texas.

I don't know how far away that is from you, but there's a sales tax holiday coming up. Natural disasters will continue to happen. Prepare yourself during the 2024 emergency preparing to supply sales tax holiday. Is this just tax? Is this national? This might be national.

Seems early this year. Oh, it's over. It's over. Why is this article one day old? This article says it's one day old. It's from April 30th. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What?

This year's holiday. I wonder if they got the month wrong. It says this year's holiday begins 12.01 a.m. on Saturday, April 27th and ends at midnight on Monday, April 29th. Why would they publish this on the 30th? Why would they publish this on the 30th? Greg Ritchie published this article on the 30th for a sale that ended on the 29th. Could that be right?

I don't know. Look into it. Here it is again, April 29th. For example, if a purchaser enters their credit card information in an online shopping website on Monday, April 29th, which is over, at 5 p.m., but the generator will not be shipped to... I don't know. This is irrelevant. They publish an article after the sale.

Garden Girl in chat says they did a big protest breakup at a local college, arrested everyone knocked down the tents good beautiful that's it you know that's it i mean i'm so tired of like bandying about things that make like no sense you know what i mean I'm tired of listening to grown men debate things that we all know the answers to. I can't take it. It's painful. You know? We should not have people in the streets ripping down our culture. Yes, we should, because they are making a point. Shoot me in the face. DK Preppers. What is DK? Daily Calls. I don't know this website. I just searched up a bunch of prepper news for tonight.

April 17, 2024. DK Preppers, Donkey Kong Preppers, Wednesday, 17th of April. Supplies that may last me two to five years. Whoever wrote the headline, that's the headline to this article. DK Preppers, colon. Wednesday, 17th of April, comma, 2024, colon, supplies that may last me two to five years. I have no clue what this is even about. Daily costs.

So what items do they say? What do they recommend? Water, food, battery powered hand crank radios, flashlight, first aid, extra batteries, whistle, dust mask, plastic sheeting, duct tape, towel lets, wrench or pliers, manual can up a local map, stuff. It's not bad. It's not a bad list. Not a bad list at all. Toothpaste, petroleum

jelly, razors, first aid, coffee. Better have that disaster coffee, baby. Ah, these are not so good. Not so good. So never forget, you know, on this preparedness journey of yours, that we all come here to some degree neophytes, greenhorns, if you will.

You know what I mean? And everybody is that way to some degree. What brings us to bear the strongest is standing around the fire at Prepper Camp year two. Was it year two or year one? I think it was year two. Standing around the fire at Prepper Camp and talking to a group of guys who would turn out to be special forces people. special forces people and all the things that they talked about wanting to learn here at Prepper Camp. And that was one of those moments where I realized, like, this is a big thing, you know, this prepping business.

This is a big thing. There's a lot. We ask a lot. There's a lot to learn. You know what I mean? And even when you feel like you know something, you still don't know hardly anything. And there's so much I don't know. There's so much I don't know.

There's so much I haven't done. There's so much I've never even thought of doing. This is one of the reasons why people not only are, I think, falling into prepping because of the state of the world, but are also falling in love with prepping. For me, it always was an opportunity to do things that I otherwise wouldn't do. If someone had come up to me out of the blue and just said, Hey, dude, you should start blacksmithing. That would be cool. Or you should get a bow and arrow and start shooting it.

None of those, I those, no way. But under the umbrella of prepping and sort of building out things from the inside out and saying to yourself, well, you know, maybe shooting a bow makes sense, right? I used to listen to the traditional bow hunting podcast daily or weekly. I think it was weekly. Every week I'm listening to that dude getting hype, going out on the weekends with the recurve bow and coming home empty handed. And it was fine. You know, it wasn't, you know.

I was visited this evening. Oh, for the members, you're going to get to see a hilarious video. Oh, my God. It's short, but it's, I created a contraption. That's the best way I can put it. I created a tree trimming contraption that is so out of order. And it was simultaneously a test of the contraption, a test of my own will, and a test to see if whether or not I could take a serious limb off of a serious tree in my backyard. limb off of a serious tree in my backyard because it had expanded out into i mean the tree grows so fast i think it's a birch it's enormous judging by the leaves um it is expanded so much outward

that it's really was really depriving my garden of essential sunlight so it had to go it was too high for me to reach with the thing that i would normally trim with it was too thick i'd be sitting there sawing at it forever and you'll see it all probably tomorrow i'll put together the video for i recorded a few different parts of the video and it's good it's good it worked i mean you know it almost didn't work good it's good it worked i mean you know it almost didn't work a couple times but it worked adaptability is one of those things we don't appreciate enough early on in the prepping game right when i say the preppers don't know a thing it's because a lot of us we don't know a thing right It's because a lot of us, we don't know a thing, right? We hardly

know anything. What do we know? How can you know? You know, in order to be the ultimate prepper, it's impossible. It really is. But I do want you to understand that there are a variety of voices out there who are tempting you. And I don't think it's the worst thing in the world to be tempted by clickbait titles and stuff like that. I mean, what do you think this title is, right? But when someone lives and dies on clickbait titles, I think it should give you pause, you know? You should probably say to yourself, what other things are being foisted upon me that

aren't as obvious as the clickbait title? We're going to do some ads real quick, PBN family. And then on our way back, I'm going to tell you about our latest sponsor. And I'm going to tell you how to get 75 rounds of 9mm ammunition free. When we come back. PBN family, come in. I need your help. I need backup.

The Collapse Survivor app has killed me off two times now. The current simulation I'm trapped in is almost too believable. You will also get real-life threat alerts from Fortitude Ranch and have the option to manage your entire Prepper inventory. Go to the App Store, download the Collapse Survivor app,

and be prepared to test your might. Are you prepared to be the family doctor in a disaster or emergency? This is the Intrepid Commander, and I'm holding The Prepper's Medical Handbook by William W. Forgy, M.D. In this great book, you'll learn how to prepare for medical care off the grid. You'll learn about assessment and stabilization. You'll even deal with things like bioterrorism response, radiation, and how to build the off-grid medical kit at home. Look, 2020 taught us a lot about the limitations of our medical infrastructure in America. Get the Prepper's Medical Handbook today at Amazon.com.

Again, that's the Prepper's Medical Handbook by William W. Forgy. Looks like there's some turbulence up ahead. It's a good thing you found us. We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Your path, act as stability. Listen up, PBN family. I crossed paths with a guy named Dan Morton. And he is the owner of an incredible company called Ammo Squared.

Ammo Squared. Spell it out. AmmoSquared.com slash PBN. What do they do over there? It's kind of about as genius as it gets. Can I first say that my level of preparedness has been so upgraded by sponsors? It's just, you know, the people that I bring you, I bring you for a reason, and then I utilize all their stuff. I signed up.

I signed up for Ammosquared because they take all the guesswork out of stockpiling ammunition, man. They take all of it. They give you the ability to put a certain dollar amount into an ammo-purchasing budget. And that ammo-purchasing budget can be spread out in a number of calibers. So if you have five different calibers or something like that that you want to stockpile over time, you can make your budget $25. You can make your budget $50.

You can make your budget $500. You can do it per week. You can do it biweekly. You can do it monthly. That money gets pulled from your bank account and goes by percentage you decide the percentage that you want to go into each caliber that you want and the way that the system works is as soon as you get a case worth of ammo you have the option you know to hold it in in their location or you have the

option to ship it to you you have to build a case um in order to ship obviously you can't ship they're not going to ship you three rounds of 22 long rifle okay for me uh ammo is one of those things that I don't get out and buy a lot. It's not on my list very often. Ever since I started making ammo, I think about it even less, right? Going out and purchasing it. But I only make one caliber of ammunition. What ammo squared does for preppers, man, it's like a dream come true.

I don't have to think about it anymore. All I have to think about is how much money I need in my bank account when the money is pulled out, when my monthly budget is pulled out and invested in ammunition. And listen, I have every bit of five calibers of ammunition that that money's going to every month. And it's not a lot. Because that's not what this is about.

Go to AmmoSquared.com slash PBN and check out the website. Dan is a great guy, hardworking guy. You've got to see the back end of their system and how it works. It takes the headaches out of ammunition. It really does. I mean, unless you really like walking down the aisles and putting your fingers on all the boxes and that kind of thing, I don't have the time. You know what I mean?

And a lot of times I go with the preparedness master schedule for when it's time to go buy ammo. And in all honesty, sometimes I say, you know, I'll put that off till the next one. If you sign up at AmmoSquared.com slash PBN, you have to do the slash PBN, then Dan's agreed to give you guys 75 rounds of 9mm to start on him 75 rounds of nine millimeter for free on him for signing up ammosquare.com slash pbn look if you want to get your ammunition in order man i'm telling you this is a set it and forget it i like these things i really do like these things i also like the idea of not even having all the ammunition in one place, you know? But anyway, back to the show, folks, back to the show.

We've got, what do we want to do? What do we want to do? News is not really, I'm not feeling it. I think I'd rather wax philosophical on prepping than I would talk about anything in the news. There was a big ruckus, you know, nothing surprises you anymore, but there was a big ruckus in the chat room, the Signal host chat, about Joe Biden and his, they're weighing possibly bringing the Gazan refugees to America. And of course, you have no say in that. Your representative will betray you.

And, you know, they'll do a Mike Johnson job on you. And you'll say, what? Why did you vote for that? Because I'm here to represent the people, not the American people. So you grow up in an illusion that the police and the government are here to help and they're going to take care of you. You know, you grow up in an illusion that people all get along, everything's going to be fine.

At some point in time, that starts to crack. I know a lot of people go to the military, they come back from third world countries, and they're like, oh, yeah, it's time to get to it. It can happen much later in life, you know. It can happen much later in life, you know We're getting sort of the drive-thru fast food version Of prepper initiation right now That seems to be what's happening Right?

It just is what it is But eventually, you know, you wind up in a situation Where you're one of these preppers who doesn't know what the hell is going on. You don't know what you're doing. And that's because a lot of us don't know shit. You know, we don't know what we're doing. And it's not to say anything bad about anybody. You have to understand what is being asked of you is tremendous as a prepper. You know, what is being

asked of you is so tremendous and so overwhelming. Although the feelings of anxiety that I get based on like our government, their actions, you know, things happening in the world, pale in comparison. No, no, no, I'm sorry. Those reactions really take the cake in comparison to the anxiety I have over prepping and prepping stuff. Things I haven't learned, things I should learn. You know, it doesn't really drive me crazy. It's more of an opportunity. But what we're asking people is wild, right?

We're asking you to become masters of water storage, food storage. We're asking you to become capable of cooking and preparing foods in a variety of situations with a variety of tools you might have never used before. variety of situations with a variety of tools you might have never used before. We're asking you to become, you know, responsible gun owners who are proficient, at the very least, with their firearms. We're asking you to take on the trials of self-defense. Of course, if you're at all listening to PBN, then we're always pushing you to get in shape.

And that in and of itself is enough to drive a person crazy, right? Just to say, all right, well, it's time to get in shape. So I have to get in shape. I have to learn to shoot. I have to learn to fight. I have to become an inventory taking Water humping You know, when I say humping

I mean carrying Sort of lunatic And I haven't even made it to first aid yet I haven't even made it to foraging And wild medicine yet I haven't even made it to You know what I mean? We haven't even talked about animals

And animal husbandry We haven't even talked it to, you know what I mean? We haven't even talked about animals and animal husbandry. We haven't even talked about gardens and permaculture. I want you to know that it's okay to be good at two things in the prepping world and to have this wide field of skills and stuff that you're not good at and you don't understand yet. It's the case for most preppers. You know what I mean? That's the case.

Because the truth behind prepping, the real, and it's a truth that a lot of people, new preppers, don't want to hear because of the state of the world. new preppers don't want to hear because of the state of the world. The truth is we're dealing with a situation that takes a good decade to really shore up. You're dealing with a set of skills and obligations and all of these kinds of things that maybe in about 10 years you'll feel pretty good about. That's not to say there aren't things that you can do that'll make you feel good tomorrow. But when it comes down to the bigger picture,

you're probably every bit of 5 to 10 years out before you really say to yourself, I'm glad I started this prepping thing and I feel good. You know what I mean? That's a big deal. We're talking decade now. So it is true that most of us don't know what we're doing out here. But I do want you to beware of the people who are going to take this moment

and try to scoop you up and try to influence you in a way that doesn't make any sense or in a way that only makes them money. You've got to understand, guys, I don't spend my days watching preppers on YouTube and getting angry over clickbait video titles. I see them. I see the Black Scout survival guy, whatever it is. He always has some crazy clickbait title.

Probably a good dude. He's just on his grind. It is what it is. But what I see that you don't see are the invites that I get in the freelance writing world. The invites to certain types of jobs with people with certain types of intentions. It's pretty common for me to get an invite to a job and turn it down solely based on the game plan.

Is this going to really add value or not? Is this something that, are you going to use AI in this? What's the game plan here? I can't be a part of it, you know what I mean? I literally can't be a part of projects sometimes, even if they're going to pay well, because I can't put my name on something crazy like that. But there's people out there.

You know, the worst thing, the worst thing about the off-grid projects book I wrote is the landing page. The book is so damn good, but if I visited a landing page like that, I'd immediately leave. I don't care what they were telling me. This is the one book that you need

And it'll save you in a collapse The landing page With the video attached to the landing page That's an automatic Get me the hell out of here You know And I miss out on a great thing Because that book's amazing

It's horrible to tell preppers that there are threats all around the world that they're concerned with and preparing for. And they also have to concern themselves with preppers and survivalists and products that will fail you. You know, don't get your preps from Timu. That's probably a good step. It's a really good, another really good step is to align yourself

with companies that are in your budget range and do your desired thing. You know? Like some companies for me that have really panned out have been Kershaw. You know, Kershaw,

I carry a Kershaw knife almost every day and have done so for a very long time. Because I can go get a great Kershaw for $40, you know, beautiful knife, sharp, works well, does what I need it to do. 3V Gear was an early sort of, what were they? They gave me the opportunity to be a brand ambassador and gave me a bunch of free bags. 3V Gear was an early sort of, what were they? They gave me the opportunity to be a brand ambassador and gave me a bunch of free bags. And I always promoted their stuff.

I always used their stuff. And I use 3V Gear bags more than I've used any other brand, to be honest. The Redline series I've used a lot the the sling what's it called the outlaw sling i used that thing for five years until it was falling apart daily carrying firearms carrying all kinds of stuff there was a time when that thing carried diapers and wipes you know what i mean That thing was fully capable. Right now I'm carrying a fishing backpack,

and it's doing a hell of a job. It really is. It's kind of nice. But it's good, especially early on, to align yourself with these companies that not only do what you want to do, but are within your budget range. You know, like, you don't need Arcteryx. You don't even need, what's the other great bag company

that their stuff is so expensive? They do the Commuter Sling, which is really nice looking. I can't think of it. But there's a bunch of brands like that out there. You know what I mean? That'll put a real hurting on you. You'll see people online wearing it, using it, 5.11. You know, 5.11.
