You're listening to KBN. You will pay us back to stability folks today's podcast is brought to you by my hands, okay because they provide me with eggs and You know survive the backyard full of pit bulls and foxes and possums and raccoons and whatever else. So today's podcast brought to you by the hands We're gonna talk about ration or ruin today we're gonna revisit Friday's podcast,

Saturday's podcast from Carl B. Very important message coming from some pretty notable CEOs like Walmart and Target. I'm sure you've been there within the last week or so. We don't know how things are going to go, but sometimes it's good to listen to the people who run companies like these. Get paid massive salaries and massive bonuses on top of that to run these companies. We may want to heed their warnings.

It's not me freaking you out. Actually, never really me freaking you out. I don't wake up. I'm not in the freaking you out. Actually, never really me freaking you out. You know, I don't wake up. I'm not in the freaking you out business. I'm in the reading things and freaking out and then coming to you and saying, this is what I think we should do. Business.

This is what I think you should do. Business. That's really it. You know what I mean? What may be freaking you out though, is that we're 72 hours away from ration or ruin Are you participating? One thing that I'd like you to do for me. Okay I'm sure that there are other prepper and survivalist content creators podcasters video makers and so on

That you enjoy that you watch listen to What I'd really like you to do for me Is to send them an email and tell them about ration of ruin now I Do have a press release written for ration of ruin it's going out to places like Newsmax and bright bard and blaze and several people that I know In you know different news and survival news parlance doesn't mean it's gonna get picked up doesn't mean anybody's gonna say anything back

What I'm getting at is if you need a Cliffs notes then I Got you but I would really like for you to send a short email and make whoever it is that you like Second to me and PBN I'm gonna assume we're not your second and that they're your second how about that send them an email challenge really why because if this is

legit right fire wolf forge says his wife's trying to get out of it trying to get out of the ration of ruin I don't blame her it's not gonna be fun it's not gonna be good for you you You know what I mean? There's not a whole lot of outcomes That are gonna be beneficial Well, hmm See, I'm not I'm discounting the foraging and fishing aspect of it too much and What fun that's gonna be so I've got to wrap my head around that

I keep looking at at the four days off of survival food as starvation and I've got to wrap my head around the fact that You never know what it could be. That's kind of the fun of it, right, but it will test your abilities Even if these content creators even if these content creators that you watch outside of PBN, or even if you have a host, a PBN host that you want to do it. Now they're not all doing it or anything like that. It's really just, as far as I know, it's really just me and the, the rash,

I'm a, the Patriot power hour guys. I don't know any other hosts who are taking that on. I haven't reached out to people directly about it I assume they listen to the shows for the most part and I also assume that that's it's a little crazy But we're planning and doing About as crazy as this Monday morning hairdo. You know what I mean? So All that said That's a good way to look at a fire wolf forch

He says in chat to it what's crazy is to actually feel hungry for the first time ever It is rare in America You get on you if you ever done like a two or three day fast you get into that second day and you realize like It's not that bad it's really not especially if you're busy not really that big a deal um so i guess i'll get so so my request is this reach out i i could think of like the magic prepper i think i reached i reached out to the casual preppers myself. I don't know all the names guys. Pinball prepper gets thrown around a lot. I did email PJ from

Viking Preparedness because he this is the thing if they all make videos about it then everybody's going to have their own method of dealing with it Right if they can get convinced It is a challenge It's a personal challenge. It's not competitive fundamentally, but it will be made competitive You know that right the nature of what we're doing. It's gonna be competitive People are gonna say I did this really well. I did this really you know what I mean? But this thing about it is it's a challenge. And if you bring it to the more preppers who make content

that you bring it to and the more they participate, then they're going to create videos and content about it. And you'll learn stuff. We'll all learn stuff. Like, oh, this is what he did To get those four days of it not eating handled, right? Press them press them PBM family do it for me send an email out Ration a ruin. This is what you got to do some crazy

Ex chef in Richmond, Virginia is doing doing it so you should do it too send an email to Mike Glover yeah see if he'll do it yeah I don't know and look at even and even put in that maybe in that email say you could just do it for a week Because I'm not really like super focused on everybody doing it for a month. I think the vast majority of people That Participate in ration a ruin should do it for a week, you know, and that's it. It's one week couple days fast You know on and off fast kind of really like a time-restricted

Fast except for the weekend, which would be basically a 48 hour fast if they don't forage or you know fish or whatever And I think you'll learn a lot. You know, I think I there's a good chance you'll learn just as much You know from a week as you will from a month You get into two weeks three weeks four weeks at that point you're really just You're probably really just a little masochistic or something like that You know what? I mean? You're like I can keep going I can keep suffering It's not really that big a deal, you know what I mean if you're attuned to it, but so

Wednesday is it Wednesday is the last day I was I got so saved because my wife and I were invited to a meal at a nice restaurant and I Thought I was gonna miss it because it was literally on on Wednesday I thought Wednesday was the first I said oh no so I'm gonna get one good last hurrah on the way out the door before it's freeze dried food food for a month freeze-dried or fresh for a month see I like the alpha and Omega or whatever the like you know what I mean

so real quick it's not you know it's not too dramatic it's not too much you really need to wrap your head around okay but I want to give it out one more time so those of you who are hearing about rationing a ruin for the first time can decide whether or not you want to get involved What I will tell you is from a food perspective from an eating in a collapse perspective I

Don't think there's a better way for you to be 100% clear about what it is You're gonna be capable of in a serious collapse of supply chains. Right? Like if you really want to know how your body's gonna react to survival food, how your body's gonna react to hunger, what you can really substitute out of the wild. Really. Not like when the grid goes down, I'm going to become Cam Haines with my crossbow and my bow and arrow, right? but Really get a measurement hungry Maybe a little desperate

At what you're gonna be able to do, you know All those asides if you really do go in for a month All those asides if you really do go in for a month Supplement I do think you should supplement, you know what I mean Future Dan has gone as far as Protein shake supplements, you know, if you listen to the longer ration a ruin conversation. I think we called it Chicken chunks white diced or something like that cooked chicken chunks white cooked. Yeah, that was it That was the name of the podcast You hear a little bit about behind the scenes of what people are actually gonna be doing

Right and supplements with something that I'm actually gonna be doing outside of just waking up and going at it you know chewing the the roots of dandelion I'll be drinking coffee you know probably not a lot because you know my body's gonna have enough to deal with but little caffeine little little supplements we be doing I like a You know like a multivitamin for adults that kind of thing I Don't want June to start and be in the hospital Malnutrition, you know what I mean? So I had to combat that that's what what I'll be doing

And you know, look I may we also might change things as The month goes on too. I don't know like if week two comes and I'm completely ineffective as a human being like we're gonna add calories You know, I mean, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna be on here gone Like dead dying live streaming over ration or ruin Um

And we'll try to get you know, i'd like to do an rnr end of the week For you guys every week right a little rnr sort of what's going on. Who's doing what? How'd you do last week? That kind of thing Um, that could be good. I'll do it myself. No one else wants to do it. But I'd like to do that. That would be good. I'd love you guys to do it, too, those like Firewolf,

if you're participating. For sure, we'd love to have your comments in there, too. It'd be fun. It's not for the faint of heart. It's going to be a very interesting and very humbling experience. And I don't think that I've seen anything anywhere and I've seen several survival challenges in this kind of challenge and that kind of challenge But I think what future Dan has come up with I gotta give him credit where credits do is

This is the katana to the bullshit, you know what I mean? That's what this is. This is the samurai sword To your bullshit. In other words, you're a hunter. You're a trapper. You're a fisherman. You're a forager. You're all these things When the world falls apart Well, let's see about that do you know what I mean mean? That's what I mean. That's really what it is. And then also Let's also see how all the survival foods actually gonna work in your body Right. I know it's gonna be problem for me. I know it There's no way you can take what I eat on a regular basis and then flip it into freeze-dried food And then everything stays the same

So I know that's gonna be a problem and we'll actually know because I'm pretty sure I got to get it done soon but I'm pretty sure I would like to go get my and this is crazy for me because I hate it but I'd like to go get my blood drawn and just take a look at the beginning and at the end and see what what's changed You know what? I mean, it would be interesting to see If I'm eating enough, what if I'm eating enough foraged and wild foods that like My biomarkers go up crazy and so do Dan's and so do you know? I don't know if Ben's doing the blood thing, but I know I

know future Dan is Rational ruin, what do you want to do you want to do it you don't want to do it are you scared of it do it for a week one week all you got to do is thus Monday Wednesday Friday 2,000 calories of survival food. If you're out already, like if you're like, oh, I don't have 6,000 calories of survival food, then right off the bat, you know what you need to do, right? Simple. So if you already answered a question, right? If you don't have 6, 12, 18, 24,000 calories of survival food in your house then right off the bat you know right

well kind of kind of because I don't have twenty four thousand calories of branded survival food in my house freeze-dried branded survival food because I you know we do the DIY food storage, which is much more affordable and if you can cook at all It's the way to go, you know staple ingredients in food storage rather than pre-made meals that Good luck if everybody's in your good luck if you're gonna like them good luck If then your wife's gonna like them or husband good luck if then Your kids are also gonna you know what I mean

to me those a Lot of like like putting all your money and all your survival acumen in or you know, whatever currency into Just the 72-hour kids the six six month kids, whatever it is It's a dangerous game. I think there's a place for don't get me wrong. I think they're very Effective and I can tell you if you got nothing else and you know, the the Walmart is empty then Life will be a hell of a lot better than going up. We just ate our last can of green peas We had green peas for dinner for the last three nights. How's everybody feeling? You know what I mean? fire will forge in chat remarks on the

On the use of survival food exclusively and he says today on fire will forge live from the toilet which could be says, today on Firewolf Forge, live from the toilet. Which could be more real than we know. We'll have to see how it goes. I remember I ate Spam for a week a couple of years ago, because Spam is sort of one of those go-to prepper foods. You know what I mean? And I stopped storing it after that.

I just completely took it. I had this idea that was spam canned protein makes sense. I ate it for a week I felt like I was dying Just all you know all manners of my life for a mess. It was really not good Yeah So I had to go So real quick. Yeah, I think that's what it was fire I guess I felt the same way under spam that I do around the holidays sometimes around the holidays I

put so much salt in my body from like salami's and so prasada's and pecorino romano cheeses and those kinds of things that like You can't catch up. I just can't I'm like days indebted to dehydration and salt and I just can't beat it so this topic here was covered by Carl B at large you could listen to that show from Saturday it's worth repeating. Again, it's not, whoa, what happened? It's not, hey, Garden Girl, what's up? Oh, good call. I like that. So Garden Girl's going to be doing sort of the Dave Jones method

and eating the home freeze-dried foods. It's a good move. It's a good move. This off of the economiccollabsblog.com, it's complete, you know, fear bait and that kind of thing, but we have to take indicators that are blinking and at least consider them, right? So let's see what the CEOs. So for those of you who are not watching and listening only, the article is titled, the CEOs of Walmart, Target, Home Depot,

and Lowe's warn that store shelves all over America could soon be empty. Quote, soon be empty. soon be empty. Quote, soon be empty. I want the quotes direct from the CEOs. According to Axios, the CEOs, quote, flat out told him, by him they mean Trump, the prices are going up. They're steady right now, but they will go up. So they all met with him, I guess. They also told President Trump that shelves will be empty if current tariff levels persist. Michael Snyder goes on to say that he's so glad that President Trump is getting input from these CEOs.

And he thinks it's very important. It's like I said, like weeks ago, probably a month ago now, this tariff thing is not a slam dunk, you know what I mean? By any stretch. But the CEO of Walmart, Doug McMillan, who has developed a cordial relationship with Trump through meetings at Mar-a-Lago and several mutual friends, bluntly told Trump that the trade war with China had already started to disrupt the supply chain officials said and would only intensify by the summer so you know wrap your head around that you know what I mean what comes to mind is like from a

from a like a life disruption situation probably not tremendous right at least for you and me right if your people are living in and out of Walmart for everything, different story. But what is interesting is vacation. You know, like you do that week at the beach, you're like, yeah, we go get our groceries at the beginning of the week and we go to the Walmart down there and grab whatever we need for the Airbnb or the whatever You might find particularly in places like that or in general that some of those things you're used to having on around right

According to port optimizer tracking system for vessel operator scheduled import volumes for the LA port for the week ending May 3rd Show a 38.53 week of a replunge year over year. The data shows 9.7% decrease for the week ending May 10 So, you know a 40% Decrease in Incoming vessels essentially incoming goods, right? We're at a tipping point. One industry insider warned CNBC, so you know, be careful, that more than 700,000 truckloads have evaporated nationally in just the last week.

The fallout from the ocean freight slowdown is beginning to hit the ground transport link to ports If you ride truck and you're in the PB an audience give us some intel on that We are at a tipping point on the west coast said Ken Adamo chief analytics at that freight and analytics Looking at how many truckloads are available versus trucks. We've seen a precipitous drop over 700,000 loads have evaporated nationally in the past week compared to two weeks prior Michael Snyder's diagnosis that is a cataclysmic or that is cataclysmic rather So

So it says ocean container bookings from China to the US are down 60% industry-wide. So it's you know, it's happening guys. I think that's the big takeaway. You know what I mean? Like what is what's really going on? What you know, what's really going to happen on the back of all this stuff? That's what the markets are thinking. The economy is thing. But the common sense take is,'s thing, but the common-sense Take is you know if you stop if you raise the tariffs if you put 240 percent Tariffs on the nation that makes everything that you buy Then naturally there's gonna be less things for you to buy

Act accordingly, you know what I mean? So you can you can get what you need now or Establish your own personal supply chain elsewhere for the things that you need, you know, I can't I mean like What is a Walmart and a target have What does a Walmart and a Target have? Truly. That it's like only available there. You know what I mean? Or only available from China.

That you can't find somewhere else. Find from another nation. Make yourself. Right? Borrow. Build. You know what I'm saying? It's not like the lumber is going to go away you know, I mean we're not importing lumber from China

I mean don't get me wrong, you know, it's a lot of things it's gonna be affected But those are your choices frankly unless something big change but even if something big changes today we're still behind We're still behind now by 40% Right, we've dropped 40% in terms of the the producers shipping to the consumer. This is what it is, you know. What else we got for today folks? It's nothing to lose sleep over. You knew it was gonna happen. Right, I hope you knew it was gonna happen. I hope everybody realized that what happens when you take the guy who makes all your stuff and put a 250% tariff on him. That's what will happen.

You know. I don't know. It's been a heavy one. I think we can call it. I would invite you to visit the L2Survive YouTube channel. It did a cool little power bank review. You know, you'll see the power bank at L2Survive and you'll recognize the design. But everything's always improving. You know what I mean? before I hopped on chin sent me a video of a marine Who is using essentially an arm jetpack? to fly from a inflated ship or inflated inflatable boat to a battleship it looked like

like over the ocean Everything's always improving. You know what I mean mean and this this is a cool little number so go to L2 Survival at YouTube check that video out pretty cool garden girls got some special intel from Home Depot possibly making nails I've tried that I've tried making nails and what happens is they get stuck in the nail maker every time so maybe I don't know I don't know if the the whatever the nail making device is I've made one of those right it looks like kind of like a kind of like a thick spoon with a hole in the middle you know what I mean with it's got like a little handle a little circular part a hole in it and then you bash some nice hot that the proper name

is a nail header and then you bash them you know hot steel through that thing and make yourself a nail super simplified I'd love to see it Firewolf if you do get to whipping some nails out we'd love to see it fire wolf if you do get to whipping some nails out. We'd love to see that That would be cool over on hammer talk Like I said, I've tried it they get stuck in the nailheader. I don't know what I'm doing. So it's not you know It looks really cool and really easy everything having to do with blacksmithing when you see it on YouTube And it's rough, you know. So. I think that's it for today, folks.
