And how you couldn't help it? How could you help it? We had such a performance. We had such a performance it was worth talking about.

But, you know, it's probably a good time for some introspection. Anytime we're on the high horse, anytime there's a long stint of self-righteous indignation, it's almost always a good time to say, Okay. So what about me in all of this? Right? What about me in all of this? What does that look like? And we're going to talk about that a lot today. We're going to talk about self-torture. We're going to talk about a lost and hopeless generation. Is that the truth or is that a voice in our head? Right? A lost and helpless generation, a story from the economic collapse blog, jaw rate in the house. What is up? my man over at Instagram. We are live on Instagram. Rumble. YouTube. What is up, Dad? Good morning. Good morning over at YouTube. Rams Eagles, 1 p.m. Can't wait. It's going to be an awesome game. If you know, you know on the YouTube side. Okay. I've made many an argument. Many a bitch and moan sesh over I don't even want to be on YouTube. But my father. There's there and he's watching and that's enough. Jake the snake 1988. How you doing?

Whoa, Jorade. Has the government health care gotten to such a point? Jorade over at Instagram says he just pulled a tooth out with a plier. Are you sure you want to talk about self-torture? Yeah, that's that good government health care. Everybody wants us to get, I guess. hey what can you say right um sorry everybody's piling in i just want to see what's what good morning amber how are you so tis the state of affairs folks in the united states i want to talk about that uh i may or may not get into the text relay between the uh kirk assassin and his shrantifa lover who's a yeah that kind of falls under the I mean, that whole thing falls under the umbrella of a hopeless generation, does it not? I'm going to read you something.

Do I want to read you something yet? Today's going to be one of those days. There's a really great notes feature on Streamyard now. Lovely, wonderful. Let's start with the main question. Are you aware of the voice in your head at all? do you know that there's a voice in your head that you think is you you you assume it's you probably most naively you assume it's out for the betterment of you and the best of you are you aware

of the voice in your head there's a lot of benefits to things like meditation probably the biggest and boredom extreme levels of boredom too right probably the best is getting to understand that your body has this whole presence. What I mean by presence is like, what are you feeling in your own body? Is there pain somewhere? Is there discomfort? Is there tension? Is there...

Do you know what I mean? In life, you want to avoid becoming a numb ball of expressionless, feelingless mass. if you're a man it's easy women too though nowadays for sure they've been blessed with the career they've been blessed with their career so they you know all that goes along with that

but you know they also have to deal with men so God bless them but are you aware of the voice in your head and what does that voice say what does it do how does it direct you each and every day. Born DeBrap in chat. Good morning, sir. How are you? Thanks for joining us. Jorate says that there are voices plural in his head. One of the voices in my head is the Phoenix. Welcome in. She's with us today. I've been given a lot to this because what we say to ourselves is

it is huge day in and day out. And it all relates. You look at everything that's happening. in the United States today, and you realize a lot of this craziness and this chaos is born out of a voice inside your head. And that voice is being manipulated all the time and being more so manipulated than ever before thanks to social media, right? Thanks to a nonstop stream of news and social media. Somebody's always telling you what you should be thinking, how you should be thinking, who you should be thinking, what you should be thinking, right? And that's how that voice comes to be. and if you're going like i don't know i have no idea what you're talking about i don't have time to worry about the voice in my head i've got work to do and family and this and so and just you get you have

to understand it's there it's there you know what i mean born de brab says my father's voice directs me god rest his soul he was a good man everyone needs a dad you said it you said it you said it said it right there your consciousness is like a culmination of of those around you good and bad and uh and god that's it that's what it is that largely that's the voice inside your head for when things are going well and when you're healthy and happy and all that kind of stuff you know what I mean. But for a lot of people in the world, there's also this divisive and vicious voice in your head. And the tricky thing about that voice is a lot of times that's the one that propels you. Oh, I'll show them. And they treated me this way. And it's always this way. And I can

never. And they can never. And we just, and this one is no good. And I'm going to show them. And you know what I mean? Or it's a self-destructive voice. which is I can't believe you screwed that up and you did that wrong and you know what I mean it's the whole thing it's the whole gamut now you listen to me if you listen to me if you watch me at arm's length you know like oh the PBN's on and that James guy's on the commander guy I'll watch him you probably think you know about me um you know what I show you know what i mean you know what i show you only those who are really like in love with pbn and have really followed me for years can get an idea of what it is i'm really all about because i'm

on a prepper show with the prepper gear had and i got a beautiful changing earth hoodie on and my friends are all really cool preppers and you know ex-military cool you know whatever But the reality is, man, in 2020, well, even way before that, back in 08, 2009, something along those lines, I started doing yoga way before it was cool. Caught all kinds of heat, meditation, yoga, that kind of stuff. And if you really want to start to understand the voice in your head, like the silence is where it happens. now after all those years

after all those years I like I journey to the center of the universe I tried to do it once a month some months I can get there and some months I can't but I like the journey to the center of the universe in a float tank I don't know how many people

of you have you know this is this is self-torture of the highest order by the way if you're not prepared for it I took my son to this point place for his birthday one year and lucky for him he had a giant scrape on his knee from playing football and i wasn't even thinking i would do what didn't even cross my mind i just wanted him to experience it and uh the guy was like oh i don't know because largely what you do in one of these pitch black tanks is it's it's it's like a luxury sized well what it really is is a spacecraft

a jettison pot that's what it looks like to me it looks like some kind of some kind of some a jettison pod, some kind of escape craft that would fly off of an alien ship. It's about a big enough for one person. And it's half filled with enough epsom salt and water that you can float on it without effort, right? You float on it. The water's kept at 98 degrees. And you can do all kinds of stuff in there. You can listen to music. You can chill. You can leave the lights on. But if you want to do it right you turn all the lights off all the music off put the ear plugs in and and literally disappear and you go through this whole well i anyway go through this whole sort of routine of the mind processing everything in its life for an hour straight in the

pitch dark with nothing to do but think and dissolve and you just float there but you don't even know you're really floating there because the water is the same temperature as your body the air is the same temperature as your body you're literally floating so you you know you start this you begin to stop feeling anything and it's just you and that voice in your head and there's just all these waves of things that happen while you're in there it's not it's not like some kind of psychedelic thing people say that it's like a psychic that's not like a psychedelic experience sometimes you'll have visions like brief visions that are and it's hard to discern between dream and reality after a while, you know, particularly if you're tired. But you get very intimately

involved. I have been very intimately involved with the voice inside my head for a long time. Five years at least, right? Really like taking note. Because of the digital world, because of the hairy, hairy rush rush world on the move, we've lost sight of that voice. We've lost sight of that voice inside our head and we call it depression and we take pills for it right oh i've got these voice in my head it's always negative oh pill depression pill therapy let's fix it right the thing we have to be careful of is as follows okay in 2020 i started listening to this guy sad guru i like him he's like uh what the hell is he he's like uh he's like uh a a a or whatever. You know, he's one of these guys with the turban and the long white beard and,

you know, he's a yogi fundamentally, one of those guys, right? That's like seriously discrediting his work. Seriously discrediting it, but whatever. If you're into that kind of thing, you probably already know him anyway. If you're not, you're not going to happen upon Sadd Guru and be like, oh, this is exactly what I've been looking for between my bouts of, uh, CQB videos on. on YouTube and prepper and how-toes is some old Indian guy telling me how to manage my spirit in the world, my time in the world, my conscience in the world. But he always makes great points because he's fundamentally in the quiet, in the silence a lot.

And when you're in the quiet and in the silence a lot, you can think. Imagine you can think, right? And he said that, like, if you torture someone, right? So if you torture someone, they're either going to escape physically or eventually they're going to die and escape that way, right? Like, that's the course of torture. It's terrible a thing as torture is. Either they're going to get so desperate and find a way to escape if you're torturing a person. or death and what he cautions against is the fact that you can spend 60 years a lifetime

torturing yourself just with what's in here bringing up the old pain bringing up the old the old memories the old sufferings ripping open the scabs of old wounds right tearing open the scars of old, terrible things that happened to you. And then, of course, the hurtful stuff that you say to yourself, right? You tear yourself down and you just, it's an unending level of torture if you're not careful. And there's a lot of people existing in that, man. A lot of people existing in that world of, like, perpetual torture. And you have to be able to recognize it.

You know, you have to be able to recognize it because that voice in your head, has tremendous power it has tremendous power so who's is the voice in your head is the question i'm asking today is the question i'm asking today i don't know how many people you know the is it the voice of god is it the voice of the enemy let's take a minute because in the same vein right you know something that happened today that was like i said i don't know i don't expect you to follow me for everything that I am and who I am. You have to, like, whatever. I'm so weird. I get in the car with my sons this morning, right? Because I'm lucky enough that I get to do that every morning. And as we were pulling out, I live in a place with a lot of trees.

like this is really the time to shine in our neighborhood really is like everything's going to start to change there's a reason i always write in in books like poems for men and when i you know read poetry online and things like that there's a reason i always talk about the sod and rainy mornings right because they are just there's something about them man they're very special i mean there's special there's something special about every season if you're capable of enjoying it slowing down enough to enjoy it. But what really was kind of the highlight of my day so far is we're pulling out of the drive and the tires are making that sort of oceanic, you know, that sort of tidal wave sound on the blacktop. And the rain's falling and the, you know, our ground's

covered with leaves this time of year constantly. Not that it's fall. I mean, everything's mostly green, but just the nature of living in nature. And my son says, these are the best days. These are the best days when it's rainy like this and a little cold. And, you know, when your kids capture it, when your kids latch on to it, when the voice in their head is saying the right things. when you come to realize that the kids

for the time that they live in you know never forget as a kid in the 90s 80s 70s 60s and beyond right and further back every generation always said your generation is weak and sucks and we were better

and you know what I mean gray yapping men right there's a poem in this book to my boys i'll read you a line from it real quick because if i can find it quickly enough because it speaks to it right it speaks to this perpetual sort of uh graying and yapping men will claim this time lost their time was better that's every age right graying and yapping men will claim this time lost and their time was better the general but the truth is it's never been better. Your generation is the closest to truly knowing the truth. That's a poem called To My Boys. But this is perpetual. The difference being you can hear it all day and night.

You can hear it all day and night as a kid, how bad you are, how bad your generation is, how shit everything is in the world, how terrible everything's going to be, how there is no hope. how the world is going to be set of fire by climate change, how the world is going to be nuked into oblivion. It's not that we didn't have these fears in the 80s, 90s, not climate change necessarily, but the threat of nuclear war, things like that. People grew up with that in the Cold War. But it didn't ride shotgun their entire life.

The threats and the concerns and the whiny voices of old men didn't ride shotgun in their minds perpetually telling them that everything was lost this is how voices take shape in your head this is how they shape in your mind we talk a lot about making men and making boys into men and and and toughening them up and you know what i mean all this kind of stuff um what i think dads of today you know because it's like an auto correct It's like an overcorrection, right? What I think dads of today really get screwed up is in your desire and in your ego to say, I'm not going to raise a weak kid like all these other weak kids.

I'm not going to raise a kid who blank, right? In your desire to do that, I think you negate your ability to sit there and think about, all right, I know what my problems were coming up. I know what my milestones had to be coming up. I know what I had to accomplish to get to where I am. I know what a lot of kids these days are struggling with suffering from. And I'm going to make sure I build a framework that helps my son avoid all those things, meet all those milestones, so on and so forth, right? I think what dad's parents largely should spend more time on with their kids, right,

is the concept of what are the unique struggles that my kids have to face that I know next to nothing about that I have very little experience in right because those are the things they don't know and those are the things that that you don't know and one such thing is this perpetual voice of hopelessness that they have to face. And it's everywhere. It's on every side. It's not like, oh, the Democrats are the climate change party and all they bitch about is the end of the world. But don't worry, son, everything's going to be fine. Right? It's on all sides. So look at these crazy demonic killers that are on the left. They're nuts. Look at these warhawks on the right. Look at these this and that, right?

the people on the right are crazy zealots they're polluting the world hunter in the instagram chat says uh consequences yeah there are consequences to our actions too as parents though you know i was listening to a podcast a couple days ago i was building a three-tier rain barrel system out back and one of the things that was most interesting about it to me was why are we on Wi-Fi first of all sorry one of the things that was most interesting to me was this is a dad there and he was talking about raising kids and he was talking about raising his son and he was saying how he was like no phone you know what I mean no phone like the phone is the devil the phone is going to get you in so much trouble you have no idea this is this is

the perfect way to articulate what the blind spot is or could be in your life as a parent right raising this generation this generation that's lacking hope and has this perpetual parents and news and social media in their head and none and and the majority of it is not good and when i say parents i don't mean your guiding words right as parents you got to understand kids hear everything kids hear everything they're in the car with you they might be staring at the phone but they hear you and your wife talking about i don't know what we're going to do about this this is a messed up world honey this is a whole screwed up situation this is just a mess i can't believe how terrible and crazy everything is in the world and they're thinking oh that's

my world you know i'm 12 or whatever like that's that's what i have to look forward to So the kid was talking about, or the dad was talking about, rather, how no phone. You know, I'm going to solve that problem. We're going to solve that problem of distraction and whatever else is hiding inside that phone by not giving the kid the phone. And the kid eventually came to his dad and he said, you know, at least this is like months after everything. He came to his dad and he said, at least you had that little thing on the wall, that phone on the wall with the coiled cord where you could call your friends. He said, I'm out of everything. I'm out of the loop on everything. Birthdays, gatherings, get-togethers, friends. I go to school and the kids are telling me about all the fun they had over the weekend. They went to a trampoline park or whatever. I'm out of the loop of everything. this is a monumental blind spot that you have to be aware of this is just one example there's a lot of

this is one example but this is how you give you know life to a hopeless generation or generation that in their head hears the word hopeless uttered perpetually right because for that kid his dad thought he was doing the right thing. Oh, yeah, I'm doing the right thing. I'm going to keep him off the phone. I'm not going to get him a phone. But in our, like I said, in our ego and in our desire to sort of protect the kids from the technology, we can forget that we used to walk across the street to our best friend's house. There was 20 kids at the corner playing, you know, two-hand touch football every day. There was kids up the street you could walk to. There was kids down the street you could walk to you walk through the average american suburb particularly as like

a preteen teenager there's nobody out there to hang out with okay no problem if that's the problem i hop on the old the old landline and call by friend up who lives over there in booth win you know he's not i can't i can't walk over knock on his door see what he's up to but i'll give him a ring when you take a kid and give him no cell phone and he has no access to any other communications and you moved him into a nice big house in a nice affluent neighborhood and you feel real good about what you've done uh the kid is trapped and it's just something you got to understand this is one example you know what i mean of how in our sort of rah rah movement to be be exceptional and different and to protect everybody from everything. We can really put people

in a nightmarish situation. You know what I mean? We can really, we can really feed that voice in the heads of the generation coming up, that hopeless voice. I get an article here. I want to put it up, but his website is so terrible to share because it's just a wash and ad. So we'll try it out to see this is from the economic collapse blog.com and uh that doesn't look so bad our society's produced a lost generation that doesn't have any hope okay this is uh this is a diagnosis by our man over there what i'm going to do real quick is go fill my coffee cup up can you guys handle that you guys mind if i step away for a moment i'm going to step away for a moment. I'll play a little ad, audio. That way I can go refill my coffee

cup and read this article. Okay. What we want to do? Let's see. Let's do the old Faraday containers ad, okay? EMP protection is on the minds of all preppers. And since the massive geomagnetic storm back in May, they brought the northern lights to Texas. More and more people are paying attention. Faradaycontainers.com has some of the largest and most fortified EMP protection on the planet. 20 foot and 40 foot shipping containers built with copper beryllium gaskets for maximum protection. They also have five foot work boxes that can be loaded with solar generators, solar panels, comms. Visit Faradaycontainers.com, Wisconsin-built EMP protection.

Yeah, I'm just completely an addict. Okay, you got to understand. Coffee, I have no power over coffee in my life. I have no willpower. I started a coffee business called disaster coffee so I could hide my addiction. But fundamentally, that's the reality. I got this article here. It's raining. It's beautiful out. I just want to sit here and sip a little and read with you. How can we possibly undo this? the severe long-term damage that has been done to an entire generation of young people over the course of several decades. That's how you start an article. It all starts in the public schools. Parents send their children to these schools believing they'll receive a quality education. Do they really, though? The reading and math scores of 12th graders have plunged to their lowest level in 20 years.

The score is part of the test for the next. national assessment of education progress show i don't know i don't like these kind of metrics you know what i'm not a big fan of these kind like in other words for measuring like my child personally do what i mean are you going to let your kid not know how to read until he's 11 are you going to let your kid not know how to multiply like i don't sit down and really berate my kid on what they know kids and in terms of what they know, don't know. You can run through a multiplication quiz with your kid for five minutes and go,

he's in third grade or whatever grade. Okay, he knows. Or you don't know. And then you got to work with him. Like this whole idea that the public school system is failing. Probably, what the hell does that have to do with my kid's education? in terms of finished product. You know what I mean?

In other words, you let your kid go off to school. I don't care what school. And just never think about it. Maybe the public schools are failing. Maybe the public schools are struggling. I can tell you this much. Public schools are struggling also due to the fact

that kids don't go home and get whooping. when they've been little assholes the whole day, right? Call the parents up, hey, so little Johnny threw a desk across the room and he's going to be in trouble. Oh, okay. Little Johnny goes home and goes to therapy that weekend and everything's forgiven.

Yeah, my sister always used to say that the kids aren't scared of anything anymore. Hunter S7, 7 he says saw that ammo can project in the book does that work what uh which one we talking about we could talk about that i mean i'm fine with it but let's get back to the article for now schools are subverting students mental health by endlessly hectoring them does you mean heckling them to doubt or despise their own bodies these school and yeah i don't know this isn't reading the way I expected. Again, that's another thing, right? Sadly, most parents have no idea

what is really going on in the schools. I don't have any sympathy for you as a parent if you have no idea what's going on in your kid's school. Zero. Zero sympathy. Okay? I have zero sympathy. This is your kid. Do you know what I mean? Like, this is your kid. This is the thing. This is the thing you made that you're going to hand off to the world you're going to hand the world to and you're going to hand to the world this idea huh i had no clue why don't you have a clue you don't talk to the kid i'm too busy i'm working do i have kids why have a kid if the kid is the thing you talk to for for 45 minutes a day and most of it's fighting brush teeth get in the bed turn off the phone stop this do that right

you got to get you got you have to be involved like all these these killers and these people that it blows me away i had no idea he was building bombs hundreds of thousand students emerged from campuses just indoctrinated with contempt okay this is sort of an old line this um i don't want to read it i don't know no hard feelings Michael just not what I want is not what I thought it was going to be it's not exactly what I thought it was going to be and that's fine no big deal is what it is but there is a shade of hopelessness because of the voice inside the heads of the generation right it's the voice in the heads and as I said at the head of the show the voice in your heads a culmination of a lot of people

and a lot of experiences if you don't have the Bible in your life on a regular basis, then you don't have that guiding light. And that's, you're missing that. It fortifies you, okay? It fortifies you. It's stability. It really is one of the best things you can do, even if you know in your heart of hearts, a lot of people are going to tell you read the Bible, pick the Bible, pick the Bible, read the Bible, read the physical Bible. And maybe you will and maybe you won't. I do and I don't. You know, I go through phases, right? Where I'm in physically consistently. And then I go through phases where I'm not. But when you're not, when you're in those phases when you're not, you need to find two, three people who you like

listening to reading the Bible. It's really not that hard to find on the internet. You know what I mean? And this will make a world a difference for you because, again, it's everything that go, it's like the voice in here, I was a chef for years. It was my past. It was my past. It was my life. It was a great. It was a great chunk of life, really. Everyone should know how to cook. It's the most underrated survival skill of them all, right? The idea that you have to eat three times a day and you have no idea to cook for yourself is laughable. It's laughable. I mean, it really is. You have to eat three times a day. There's an obesity epidemic. All kinds of things that will kill you are attributed to the poor diet, right? Crap food. whatever. Yet you sit there and go, hmm, I don't really need to know how to cook, I don't really know how to braise a leg of lamb and red wine. Come on, man. Like, this is your life. Enjoy it. Enjoy it. Learn to cook. Watch the SHTF chef over on the membership side. Huh? Seriously. we should do any i need a like a better down top down sort of uh filming system and maybe we need to

invest in a kitchen island where i can do some real shtf for you guys and really teach you how to cook it's everything man but we we do a lot of recipes over there that can that are pretty easy pretty simple go to pbnfamily dot com look we've got a discount we've got a discount you want one of the reasons for hopelessness too in the youth is that they don't have this and hopelessness in all people is they don't have the stability of preparedness and self-reliance in their life i don't care what you say i'm sold i've been sold since 20 what i don't know i don't remember when it happened but i'm sold on the fact that this is the way it's just the way of life it's a way to live and if you're doing it and just winging it

and you're not happy, give it a try. Join the PBN family. Like, Siri, if you're listening to this thing and you're like, you know, I really just want to get things together. You're like, you're like an Asabuco, a bottle of red wine, a good workout, you know, 100,000 calories of myelar bagged food, and six cases of water away from a brand new life. Not bad. That ain't too bad. right that ain't too bad but that's really i mean that's really the feeling that is the feeling that you get from self-reliance like you get the ability to produce food in your backyard that you

could turn into food that you can prepare for yourself these days are like those bread bacon days man like the rainy and a little bit cold and it's kind of like oh man if you know how to bake bread the i don't know if you guys get these kind of feelings but the feeling when I pull like a facacia out of the oven and I look at that thing man and it's all you know like stifled with holes and you know because it largely like a facacia's kind of like frying bread in the oven right the bottom is covered in olive oil the top is covered in olive oil and you pull this thing out of the oven on a cold day like this and it's like I I think about like owning well I never actually think about owning a Bugatti but I think about like

what guys think about when they're like oh god if only i had a bugatti and i'm like what a stupid-ass pursuit man when you can i don't know there's something about fresh break baked bread on a soggy fall day that is like it's the pinnacle of humanity i mean really it's like almost the pinnacle of being human you know what i mean no other animal can do it there's nothing on the planet that can be like i'm just going to take a bunch of walnuts and grind them down or acorns and make a flower out of it and turn it into breath and it's ancient you know what i mean it's it's ancient like how long have we been pooling loaves from the stone hearth and putting them down at the table and having the family have at it you know what i mean tear it apart

they don't care they don't appreciate it nobody cares right it's just a way of life but we've so lost that way of life we go to the restaurant we wait for the we wait for the waiter a waitress who hates us to bring the bread out like where's the bread i know this in my head it's firing like we eat the bread is something that we do as a race it's the little things folks telling you wrapped up in the big things man it is undoubtedly the little things um you want to do it inside the cash real quick see i i know we we would excite people more if i read off these text messages from Charlie Kirk's killer. Maybe you read them. Maybe you haven't. I get into the flow, man. I couldn't care less. You know what I'm saying? The sort of like audience piece of my mind is like,

yeah, do that. That'll get a lot of people to listen. And my heart's not in it. That's all I can tell you. It's a psycho. It's this psychopathic kid who clearly got manipulated online, stole his grandpops rifle shot somebody with it you know anybody like this have you even met anybody like this here's why you don't know anybody like this my show yesterday was called these people are not worth your time or whatever it was something along those lines right it's not worth your time you have to live that you have to live this mentality okay there are most of the shit on your your phone most of the stuff on the news most of the stuff that you run into in life simply not worth your time the problem is we invest in it what did he really say what did him and his

boyfriend girlfriend say what was the real conversation what's the real motivation what you know what i mean what show me all the tick tockers who are dancing around on the grave of charlie Kirk, this is not worth 30 seconds of your day. It's not worth 30 seconds of your day. You're going to die. I don't know when. You don't know when. But you're going to die,

and then you're going to have to look back on your life and say, hmm, what was it all about? What was it all about? Who'd I spend my time with? What I spend my time doing? You want to talk about hopelessness. Hopelessness is understanding that we are investing hours, days, in things that we never would ever, 20, 30 years ago. You couldn't imagine if you ran into some person who was staring unendingly at idiots doing idiotic things in front of their cell phone or in front of a camcorder.

There was just some idiot doing idiotic things in front of a camera. And the rest of the world's watching. You're like, oh, my God, you can't believe it. I'm just going to keep watching. No, no, leave me alone. I'll be here for another six hours scrolling. On that note, I've got to read you from Matthew Arnold. Okay.

I should have read this when we were talking about dads. The poem Rugby Chapel, every man has to read. it okay that's it hunter what that's why i love you my man he says they care when it doesn't show up that'll get you your views i'm so bad at content creation guys you have no idea you know and fundamentally i'm bad because everything is a warm up to getting to the level of comfort where i can do what the hell i want to do and talk about what i want to talk about that's it the whole like hook you got to have a hook and then you got to go and reveal something and you I don't give a shit man um what I do what I do give a shit about is Matthew Arnold rugby chapel

okay Matthew Arnold's rugby chapel you want to talk about reading and something that you're about the voice in your head you see it the light doesn't do it much justice this poem right here every man in the world should read it it should be handed out in school perpetual you can get it in a bunch of places you can read it online for free you can get it from my book poems for men it's is it the first no the independence of men is in danger is the first poem followed by iron man followed by rugby chapel okay rugby chapel matthew arnold amazing it's a it's a guy writing i don't know six seven ten pages seven probably ish pages of poetry about the death of his father and the course of the life

of mortal men in this world you have to read it i mean is what it is he he goes on to talk about life in the greatest stanza of poetry ever written for contemplation of one's life okay and and for like sort of a a really stark and unapologetic reminder of what your life is and only in this like a stanza like this can you really say this is

the course of the life of mortal men in this world all the bedazzlement taken out of right all the sort of pomp and Matthew Arnold says what is the course of the life

of mortal men on the earth most men eddie about here and there eat and drink chatter and love and hate chatter and love and hate you think things have changed gather and squander are raised aloft are hurled in the dust striving blindly achieving nothing and then they die perish and no one asks who or what they have been more than he asks what waves in the moonlit

solitudes mild of the midmost ocean have swelled foamed for a moment and gone that's it that's the whole story right you make money you spend money

you fall in love you hate people you love people you have kids whatever the situation is, you achieve next to nothing in this life and then you die. So you better enjoy it. And when you die, there is no great legacy, right? Nobody looks at you or thinks about you any more than they think about a wave crashing in the middle of the ocean. It's beautiful, man. Like if you need something to, to, if you need a reminder day in and day out of what,

life really is and maybe this is maybe for some people this is absolutely depressing maybe it's a depressing stance of poetry it could be to me it's everything to me it is a constant reminder that time is of the essence truly of the essence and you better do your your very best to uh take advantage of it i got a very interesting inside the cash for you from uh pack fresh USA something that everyone should invest in. They are really essential when it comes to food storage. Our friends at PackFresh USA do mylar bags, oxygen absorbers, the whole nine yards like nobody else. Okay.

PackFreshUSA.com. You should be packing up your own food storage, okay? Ready wise, ready hour, mountain house, whatever, all that stuff's okay. But it's never going to compare to somebody who really works at making a good red beans and rice, right? Or making a good bowl of morose, you know what I mean? Like a great cornbread, things that you can really store long term in mylar bags, ingredients that you can store, cornmeal, flour, sugar, right? Eggs from the chickens outside. You can make a high-quality cornbread, which, what's better than that?

if you get good at storing long-term food storage and you learn how to bake. Mylar bags, for those of you who don't know, sealed by heat, okay? Matter of fact, I usually keep my read-em-and-wheat stash. Hold on, I've got to go under the table. I keep my read-em-and-weep stash pretty close by. These are, I don't know what size these are, but they're small mylar bags from Pack-Fresh. USA okay they got a little tear notch here room and they seal at the bottom which is you know this is the way you want it right they seal at the bottom so imagine you fill it up with rice

now I wouldn't recommend doing something this little you could probably be expensive after a while but you seal them up from the bottom or fill them up rather seal them up from the bottom mark them you know with date what's in it boom you got long-term food storage mylar mylar bag oxygen absorber inside you got long-term foods that's really not complicated at all the ingredients that you store why you store them what you're going to prepare with them that's the important part um but my lars seals with heat it's it's that's what it takes you know what i mean so pack fresh USA sells what basically is a glorified hair straightener right and this little guy you plug in and then you you run once it gets hot you run it across the top me see

your mylar bag. If you fold it before you seal it, you can really get a lot of air out of it. I like to say I'll pack it with rice. Pack it with rice up to about here. Then I'll fold it over the rice and seal it this way. And to me, it just seems to get a tighter fit. But this is a super cheap item, super cheap thing. You could buy them anywhere. I'd recommend you go check PackFreshUSA.com because they do all kinds of cool stuff. If you're freeze drying, definitely pat check them out. They do a lot of cool stuff for freeze drying. One of the cores of stability, though, folks, is your long-term food storage. I mean, really.

And above and beyond that, like, you're living in times of inflation. You're living times of unstable prices, like price instability, right? The prices are going up. They're going down. They're going up. You can pack up rice. Bulk buy it. Pack it up.

Pack up beans. Pack up flour. Pack up sugar. and you'll be opening bags of rice from years prior that you are rotating through stock. It's so great when you go to the supermarket and there's all these staple foods that you never buy, right? I don't remember.

I literally don't remember the last time I bought sugar or flour in terms of like a pound bag. I have no idea. It's been years, years. I buy like a one-off rice from time to time. You know, like I'll buy a like a Basmati because I don't store it. I'll buy a sushi rice, you know, a short grain rice, something like that. But as far as like a bag of long grain rice, it's been a long time.

and raise chickens and have this kind of experience. It's enviable. I kind of appreciate it. We've talked about it here at PBN behind the scenes. But if you want to know how to calculate what you're going to need

for a group like that, that's what this spreadsheet's all about. It's exactly what it's all about. How many chickens are you going to need? How many sheep for milk? How many goats, rather, for milk? Like how big a garden? How much food should you store?

Right? Amazing. It's an amazing little spreadsheet. This is like a reference one sheet that really the food storage calories per five gallon bucket. It's like a reference one sheeter. But if you want to know how to calculate your calories quickly, like how much food do I have? How much food? How long can I sustain my family in disaster?

You're storing stuff in mylar bags in five gallon buckets. You've got a five-gallon bucket full of rice. What you got? How many calories? You got a five-gallon bucket of cooking oils, sugar, whatever it is. We've got, I think it's like close to 18 items, I think 18 or 16 sticking in my head, items on that sheet with exactly how many calories are in each. So you can look at your buckets and go, boom, boom, boom, times X.

Okay, this is how, you know, divide that by 2,000 calories per person per day or 8,000 calories per day for a family of four. bingo you know what you got you know exactly how much food you have how long you can last do i want to add to that do i want to stay where i'm at whatever and then of course nuclear war prepared not scared nuclear war prepared not scared everybody should be heading over to pbn family dot com and getting this book right now you don't even have to sign up for this you just click learn more and bingo nuclear war prepared not scared shows up you gotta have it man it's a very short read 20 pages something like that answers tons of questions from a retired army major who taught nuclear biological and chemical warfare we know i'm as
