You're listening to P.B.N.
You're passed back to stability here. Welcome in PBN family what is up?
How is everyone doing on this Thursday?
Thursday here the weather is, well the creek is flooded, the weather has turned a bit.
I'm here with you today, this cup of disaster coffee is fueling my treachery and I want
to talk to you today about a piece of PBN history that has long died off and withered on the bone and you know the whole in the vine rather and
could be making a serious comeback.
Years ago it might be behind Jay Fer I'm not sure what's going on with Rumble lately.
Rumble's weird it's a weird platform I've been messing with it now for a while. So anyway, let me bring up the story from the Greyman brief.
Get a lot of threat alerts and things like that from our friends at Greyman briefing.
And you should check them out. You should check them out. It's very cheap service.
The continuity, let's talk about that first. So the continuity way, way back when we first started our membership was a tongue-in-cheek secret society.
Okay? We only met a few times. It was a tongue-in-cheek secret society.
We would meet in my dark shed, do a live stream, talk about...
Well, we had a few different procedures the three cookie ceremony
It was fun
It was meant to be goofy and fun and poke fun and secret societies and all that kind of stuff
We had we had you know, a few meetings we had fun with it
and
then it kind of morphed into some other things and and the
continuity itself always had
like a really good ring to it in my mind and you know the name always lent itself
to kind of what prepping and preppers are all about right the continuity you
know I'm saying what's up anarchy television how are you it had that sort
of ring to it right that sort of things will continue. It's the whole concept. And it kind of died off. You know, we created
a flag and a symbol and that's the sort of the show. The show image is the continuity
symbol that we shared amongst members and we had fun with we were going to get rings
made the whole thing, right? It long died off
Turned into a couple things like I said, but long died off and I had been wondering for a while
What I've been wondering for a while is to live stream with you guys members
most of you who watch and listen are members, but you know the
the idea was, or the thing on my mind lately has been,
how to do a live stream that is members only,
that is something that we all can work on.
I talk preparedness, I talk news, I talk politics,
I talk interests and all that kind of stuff,
like five days a week here.
Truly.
And to do that again for the members, I don't know, seemed kind of goofy, right?
Then out of nowhere, I get a story that makes me wonder,
do we bring the continuity back?
For a while I've been talking, well, no, not for a while, but for the last week or
so, I've been talking about the new Homestead Act, right? The tax breaks for
raising chickens and producing food and being more self-sufficient, fundamentally,
right? Tax breaks, maybe some other benefits. I'm one man, I haven't thought
it all the way through, okay?
All that said, thinking to myself, you know, how can this all play together?
I wake up this morning. I don't- I haven't checked the Grey Man Brief a lot. I used to do a segment, you guys remember it, it was called
One Threat, One Solution. I need to create some new video for One Threat, One Solution. We may get to it.
The vast majority of the audience right now is jubilant
and feels like there are no threats anymore, I think.
You know what I mean?
Because of Donald Trump and his onslaught.
One Threat, One Solution is still very relevant.
The threats are still very relevant out there in the world.
And just, you know, it's beautiful. It's wonderful what's happening in our country right now. relevant, the threats are still very relevant out there in the world and just
you know it's beautiful, it's wonderful what's happening in our country right
now, it couldn't be better. Things that are happening in our country right now
if you asked me six months ago could they ever happen? You know like just the
Department of Government efficiency at large I'd say hell no there's no way
there's no way they would let you do that. And I'd say probably
the biggest takeaway for me for the they, for the lizards, for the people in power,
for the congressmen and women, for the heads of these four letter organizations and so
on. The biggest takeaway for me is how much power they don't have. Do you know what I
mean? That's the biggest takeaway
for me. You always think, and it's early, people could be killed. You know what I mean? People
could be sickened by plutonium sushi, but it's early. All that said, you know, it is kind of
rather surprising how little power these people do have to stop what Trump
is doing.
And the other thing, you know, with the people behind them yelling, you know, yippee-ki-yay,
keep it up.
I don't know.
I want to read you something, see what it spurs in you, if it spurs the same thing.
Government oversight preparedness. President Trump has indicated that the Federal Emergency
Management Agency should be quote unquote terminated. FEMA terminated. I'm literally
writing an article about FEMA right now. While saying that it operates as part of the deep
state quote unquote against US interests, Trump is advocating for a shift of disaster response responsibilities to individual states.
Debrief, this stance emerges amidst internal controversies.
I love the way the British say controversy.
Controversies.
I lost my place.
Within FEMA, notably the dismissal of four employees, including the chief financial officer.
The chief financial officer, what did he do?
He unauthorized, four unauthorized payments totaling $59 million to New York City for
housing illegal immigrants and migrants in luxury hotels.
These actions were deemed a significant misuse of funds,
leading to immediate terminations.
Homeland Security Secretary Noem has expressed support
for dismantling FEMA in its current form,
proposing disaster resources be managed locally.
However, the proposal is faced opposition.
And, you know, to some degree they're right the opposition about
large-scale disasters and a state's state's ability to handle them the debate
centers around misuse of taxpayer funds and you know you know you know why else
he's pissed at FEMA's because they went down to Florida and said was it Florida
yeah I think they went to Florida and said hey any of those people with Trump
signs in the front yard don't go help them
Happened that that actually happened, right? Um
The only way that works there's a way that that works I think stayed in local for some disasters You know what? I mean, I'm like watching a disaster take place right now
My the creek of behind my house is literally growing as I do the podcast.
But anyway, there's a way that that works, but it has to start at the public level. It has to start
at the individual level. In other words, people have to be incentivized to prepare. They have to
be incentivized to prepare. It has to be easyized to prepare. It has to be easy and a base level of preparedness has to be established, not
recommended, but established. It's recommended that you have a week's
worth of supplies. You know what I mean? So why the continuity popped back in my head?
Coffee pause. Is for the concept of working together, you, me, you, me,
to discuss what that would look like.
Like what would it really look like to lay out a program,
a policy, whatever it is, to hand to the average citizen, to
get them up to speed, to be able to stand on their own two feet following some disasters,
or at least to be able to effectively evacuate, maybe recover their home, and so on and so
forth.
It would be different state to state. But I think with this being an initiative and
FEMA being you know front and center and the idea that we're going to move all of this emergency
management back to the states even though a ton of it's there already, what does that look like?
What does that look like for people like grindstone ministries too by the way? Like
organizations like that that literally gather up
volunteers, head off to a disaster site,
get the job done, and so on.
To me, I mean, it's great that they get their 501c3
and they can write a bunch of stuff off.
To me, it seems like those people should get a paycheck.
You know what I mean?
Why not?
If they show up and do the work, there's
a lot of companies that do that.
There's a lot of people that do that on the 501c3 side.
Maybe the tax breaks could be even better.
I don't know.
What would be really fun?
Members listening.
What would be really fun is to meet on a designated night
as the continuity. If we
want to keep our crazy alter egos, we could do that too. We could drape
ourselves in the continuity flag and hoods and candles and infant blood and
the whole nine...adrenalized plasma and the whole nine yards. But I think it would
be fun to kind of start to build the framework of that. Maybe it goes somewhere, maybe it doesn't, maybe we use
it to help. Because civil defense falls into that too, right? There's
this whole sort of missing thing that the invincible American
belief system doesn't allow us to get into right this disorder like American invincibility
keeps us from wanting to really delve into this civil defense that we used to have and
Keeps us all from really delving into preparedness at large, right?
we find ourselves in this situation where we are like a big pop is gonna come and make everything better or
nothing bad's ever is going to come and make everything better or nothing bad is ever
going to happen to me. And that puts us in the situation we're in. Of course, you hear
a story about $59 million going to luxury hotels for illegals. And you can't help but
think about the darkness that is the mountains of North Carolina, the propane lines, the freezing,
the winters without walls that people are going through right now, that people have
gone through.
The absolute abandonment.
I don't know what the abandonment must have felt like.
That's probably one of the hardest things for those people, right?
the people of that area to
Now a lot of them are already sort of anti maybe not anti government but but pro self
You know what? I mean, like I've been doing this on my own a long time never needed the government, but there's still an
Abandonment
Feeling that has to be going through them
an abandonment feeling that has to be going through them. Dealing with what they're dealing with and then turning on the news and seeing how much money is
going to places like Israel, Ukraine, illegal immigrant hotels and housing.
Yeah. So anyhow, the continuity. Think about that. Think about that for me on the
membership side. Is there a day or time? Is there a benefit to gathering together and talking about preparedness at the public level
that
can be maybe, I don't know,
categorized or
you know, built out in a way that it's, it's the same all across the board.
I can't think of the word I want to use, uh, the same all across the board.
You know what I mean for everybody so that there's a framework there that
can be put into place we can get.
Instead of just having one day a year for tax cuts on preparedness is, you know,
you just cut the sales tax off of all things preparedness related, uh, and
maybe until par levels are established. I don't know
All the self-reliance and independence to the urban homesteading and all that kind of stuff that can be done the same thing sort of
That's new homestead act idea concept. I
Think it's got legs folks
I thought it had legs before I saw this story and now that I see. And look, the theme for me in all of this, to be honest with you, this whole sort of
tidal wave of Donald Trump is power. And it's not power for Donald Trump. It's not
power for the conservative right. It's not power for... It's your power. It's all of the sudden the weight of the cloaking
government is being somewhat lifted off of our shoulders, right? We don't feel
like we're suffocating due to a nightmarish regime in office. We don't
feel like we're suffocating due to the fact that we pay money into a system we know nothing about and it's going to you know
millions of dollars are going to people who stare at something and say it works
while you're you know killing yourself to make a living. Some of that anxiety
and all that's starting to be lifted off of us and you know the reoccurring theme
in my head watching all this stuff happen, watching the forces
of good get into the government and go, this is such a mess.
Watching the forces of good reestablish just common sense, just very basic common sense
stuff.
We should have a border.
There should be a girl and a boy.
You know what I mean?
Really, like basics
It all
When I think about myself, which is how I think about you guys, right? I think about what I feel
I think about what I should be doing. What's the best use of
this moment
It's to power up it's it's to exact your power It's to build on your preparedness and self-sufficiency strength because I think on the other side of all of this
For this to really be a true victory for America
All of this right all of this on the other side
Has to be a much stronger and more self-reliant population.
Stronger in all kinds of ways, mentally, health, right?
Self-sufficient, self-reliance, and independence.
Probably like education.
And I don't just mean like education of the kids,
but you understand what the hell is going on in your world.
Economic smarts, business smarts, all that kind of stuff, now is the time to sharpen the sword.
It really is. It's the time to sharpen the sword, to hone the edge, so that as this continues,
should Trump die, should his reign come to an end, either in four years or after? Should even should Vance take over or some other Republican take over with the same sort
of mindset? What is the American population like on the other side of that?
What does the American population look like on the other side of that born to brap in chat?
Over at YouTube behind enemy lines
Says I feel like energy costs are going to stabilize and not continue to double triple makes me feel like there's hope. Yeah
Yeah, I like that
How do you how do how do you become more powerful in how you handle energy costs?
In other words, Donald Trump's going to do his part.
I guess we'll see, right?
He sure looks like he wants to drill baby drill, right?
Energy costs go down at the personal level though.
energy costs go down. At the personal level though, can you buy gas and store gas and rotate gas in larger quantities to take advantage of low prices and to make sure that you're
prepared for a disaster when both the gas pumps are shut down, the ATMs are shut, whatever
it is, short term disaster. Can you better insulate your home? Can you put new windows in? Can you do the things that will reduce energy costs across the board so that on
the other side of all of this doge, on the other side of all of this new stuff,
you're better off with or without president.
I mean, that really is, that really is sort of the home run in my opinion and
I think this is a good idea, right?
I mean I really do think this I
Haven't really heard people talk about it because it's most people are overwhelmed by everything that's going on
I think you know and it's a beauty. it's like I said don't be like me it's a beautiful time to be overwhelmed it's things are
happening you never thought would happen and who wouldn't love it who doesn't
love it enjoy it I'm just telling you what's going on in my crazy head and
what's going on in my crazy head is I don't, it's like we're fighting this giant monster, you know?
And he's got mechanical jaws and servo-powered hydraulic fists in the whole nine yards and
he's just this monolith, you know what I mean?
And what happened is the Emperor's champion flew in and hit this
monster with such force.
And the monster is the, the overreaching, overpowered, overfunded, bloated
government, right?
And the emperor's champion ran in and put a devastating wound onto this monster.
And now the rest of us are watching, you know, and we're kind of like fists raised in the air.
What happens next?
That's where my head is.
What happens next?
What happens next is the infantry have to get as powerful as possible.
They have to get as powerful as possible, as self-sufficient as possible, as tethered into
our ability to convey our disgust and distaste for what happened in the past in our government,
and to be sure that it never happens again, no matter who's in power.
That's where we have to be right now. You know what I mean? Here's an example. The phoenix, as per usual, always giving us great preparedness examples of what the average person with indomitable will can pull off, right?
So, minimizing power use. Again, this is the whole thing, right?
She also says having alternative means for our needs there's a variety of things I'm just using power because born to brat
brought it up and I think it's a good way to look at right affecting sort of
boosting the people boosting the efforts of those in power now who want to do the
right thing by Americans right taking this sort of rocket-propelled
grenade and making it even more effective. It just makes sense to me. It just makes sense
to me. We've been on this path for a long time. We, the hosts of the Prepper Broadcasting
Network, many of the listeners out there have been on this path for a long time. We've been pushing to really, you know,
become more self-sufficient and independent, more strong as people, better as people all
around. That's the revolution. You know, the revolution is against you. It's against the
you of yesterday. Right? That's what I see anyway. That's what I see from that so the continuity shall it return or shall we leave it in its grave?
I'd love to hear the more remarks from our membership here at the prepper broadcasting network
Yeah, very interested very interested to hear what you have to say if you'd be interested in discussing a preparedness framework for the people as
say, if you'd be interested in discussing a preparedness framework for the people as a collective, hashing out ideas,
and if we come up with something worth presenting,
then we present it.
And we say, this is what FEMA has done.
This is what our plan could do.
We're preppers.
We talk and think, who better to figure this stuff out?
I have all kinds of people that can join us on the livestream,
too, all kinds of people who work in emergency management
People who have worked in emergency management people who never worked in emergency management or just living on their own off-grid
We could do really good stuff
Really fun stuff with the continuity if we want to do that
Jay Ferg gives us our vote
Yeah, well, we'll just have to see.
I'll put a member's email out as well.
We're going to do a Inside the Cash today for something that I found out.
It's kind of an embarrassing one, to be honest with you.
But I do want to tell you that over at YouTube, who's over at YouTube?
Born to Braap, Anarchy Television, several of you who watch us over at YouTube.
We could, I took a risk yesterday.
Probably within the next week, I'm
going to hit a switch over at YouTube that
could nuke us entirely.
So stay with me on that, and we'll see how it goes
There's a reason I always say we are broadcasting behind enemy lines at YouTube
You know, it is not a fun place for us to exist of all the things I see on YouTube
It's not a it's not a place of free speech yet
It's just not that you know, you got to play by their vocabulary games and all that kind of stuff
Yesterday I attached the prepper broadcasting network RSS feed of our podcast to our YouTube channel
What that means is all of you who watch us on YouTube will be able to get all of our podcasts on YouTube
maybe Or what's gonna happen so sometime next like I said, I'm gonna hit the switch.
One of two things will happen, right?
Number one, we hit the switch, boom, all the podcasts go up on YouTube, everything that
we do going forward, auto posts to YouTube so you can stay up to date, not just with
our live streams, not just with me, not just with Jay Ferg, not just with the Patriot Power Hour guys who will be live
tonight by the way, the Patriot Power Hour, don't miss it. But also all the other hosts
will be on YouTube then, you know, so. And that'll happen and people will be able to
say what they want to say and YouTube will shut the hell up and let us do what we do.
And and who knows what will come of it.
We'll get more followers.
We'll get more members, which is always a great thing.
And the message of preparedness will spread further.
The other thing that could happen is I hit the switch and like turning on a black hole, everything gets sucked sucked in to you know, we're hit with
6-7
Strikes from YouTube they they suck all of our content in that they have over there and it all disappears
the channel gets muted and destroyed and
C'est la vie
so that can happen too
Maybe we'll flip the switch live on air and see what happens sometimes next week.
It's got to be next week because we have so many.
I only did 2024.
I could have put everything from our RSS feed up on the podcast side, but I only did 2024.
Because we got like hundreds of shows.
Hundreds of shows.
They have to be uploaded and
It takes time it would took like two months to probably put everything up
So it'll probably take a week and by the end of next week. We'll flick the switch see what happens. Okay?
Your guess is good as mine PB and family. I don't know. We'll see
They don't like what we do. I can promise you that. You know. Now, let's talk about the most embarrassing episode or segment of What's Inside the Cat.
So this is going to be interesting. This is going to be a little interesting.
So this is gonna be interesting. This is gonna be a little interesting.
Lima Tango Survival, LimaTangoSurvival.com, one of our incredible sponsors. First of all, go to their website, check them out. They've got these amazing little fire kits for 25 bucks. They've got amazing little EDC kits for 75 bucks.
You've seen pieces of that kit on this show.
kits for 75 bucks. You've seen pieces of that kit on this show. Sent me a kit, the solo 24 hour
one-man bag. I'll show you it. This guy, if you are a member, then you've seen the ins and outs of that thing. Or if you haven't seen the ins and outs of that thing and you are a member, you can't.
Just go to familygear at pbnfamily.com. You can see the full review
of everything inside. It's a great bag. Remember, it's better than the bag you don't have.
If you're one of these people who has big plans about building out the ultimate bug
out bag, get home bag, EDC, whatever, just buy a bag. Go to Lima Tango.
We've given our input on these bags.
They've asked.
You know what I mean?
So these are thoughtful and well-put-together products.
I get that bag.
I pull this thing out.
I look at the list.
See, every bag and every kit that they have
comes with a checklist, by the way, which is really cool.
Exactly what's inside of it.
It's probably as much for them as it is for you
But it gives you a real quick reference and I saw a handkerchief
Bandana, whatever it said and I took this out and I put it down and I said cool
Bandana handkerchief. It's a good piece of gear a lot of things you could do with it
Not until a week ago
Did I open this thing?
I open up this thing to find out that it's like,
it's a survival cheat sheet right on the handkerchief. And it actually gave way to an Instagram live
that I was talking about, survival reference. It kind of gave way to it. So I'm going to
show you the thing. And I hope you can see it. So I'm gonna show you the thing.
And I hope you can see it. I can't really see if you can see it all or not. But
there's a ton of stuff on here, man. And a lot of it is stuff that I think is so
important because in a bad situation you're probably not gonna remember it
all. Up here they've got a whole section on when you're lost. Why
is the camera searching for me now? I did not ask for that buddy. Maybe it's looking
for me anyway. So anyhow, entire sections on basic survival necessities. There's a section
on the hydration tools that are available within your kit.
The rule of three is on here. As you can see there's several knots, a
bowling,
clove hitch,
two half hitches. What's the final one? Oh, the square knot.
They've got the
the rule of three on here. Where's the one where you're lost? Yeah, this is a really good one
So you're lost, right?
And they've got this great section here about being lost don't panic retrace steps. Can you even hear me so far away from them like fun
Don't panic retrace steps if unable to stay put and stay dry find shelter be visible use reflective items use whistle three short blasts I don't know man oh here's a good one airway airway breathing airway
breathing CPR I'm sorry airway breathing CPR deadly bleeding ABCD of first aid
probably one of the best and then what the average person would really benefit
from is the section on this
thing about hypothermia prevention.
This is all on a bandana.
Remove wet clothing, thermal poncho or bibi, fire shelter, body to body contact, hand warmers,
dry clothing.
Oh, and then it has a collection of uses for the bandana itself.
It has a whole section on bandana use
See
So you got this piece of gear? You don't know what to do with it other than read it, right?
It's like a book. I'm lost in the woods. Let me sit here and read my bandana survival guide
breathing mask, right
signal flag
Pretty good for a signal flag actually right this thing actually would do you know how handy this would come when you set up your hunting
Blind during firearm season and you're like, oh, I forgot to put something on my blind
anyway towel water filter
Bandage trail marker wet bandana cooler. Yeah, you get lost man
You could tear this thing up into tiny strips tie them to trees tie them the branches to know you're not working in circles
I
Don't know so the funny thing about it is it's been around it's been sitting here in my
possession for at least a month and
I looked at it and I saw the logo little awesome Lima tangango logo, and I said, you know, this thing
is, I guess what this thing is, is a handkerchief. You know what I mean? So I'm going to run
the Lima Tango commercial while I finish up, okay? Yes, because I love the logo, man. The
logo is so sweet. It looks like a boss in a, like a boss battle or a faction of some
kind of video game or something like that
But yeah, I just thought this thing was a straight-up bandana had no clue and
It comes in. I think it comes in. I don't know what kits it comes in
Altogether, but I know I have one and I know that I have I might have another one. I don't know. We'll see
Anyhow anyhow you buy
the solo one-man kit you get the cool bandana on top of it that that I wanted
to show you for all that was available to you on it and yeah that's what's
inside the cache today okay that's what's inside the cache today all kinds
of surprises from Lima Tango survival check them out. Seriously
Pre-made bags pre-made. I mean you could buy kits for your entire family
you know you could buy kits for your entire family from Lima Tango and
And sleep better knowing you're prepared
What else? Oh, I've got a I've got a real good freebie for you today. Oh my god. Do I got a freebie for you?
we're gonna talk freebie and then we're going to talk commander's challenge and that's it for the day.
Okay.
Our buddy L2 survive, who is a YouTube, a YouTuber on the live stream.
He's a long time listener, but L2 survive is a YouTube channel over there at the
two behind enemy lines, if you will.

she knows her stuff okay there's a link to a two hour class, a two hour Rosemary Gladstor class from
the Thribolus Fair.

herbal medicine, tinctures.

But that's a free class on herbs and tinctures.
Okay.
Enjoy it.
Enjoy it.
If you haven't got into herbal medicine, herbal remedies, that kind of stuff, you know, I
really, I really think it's one of those things that you're never going
to get it till you follow it through. You can watch all the videos, you can buy all
the books, until you follow it all the way to fruition, like you're not going to get
it. What really changed the game for me was going outside, scraping the bark off a cherry tree some years ago while black cherry
and making an infusion with the bark when I had a cough adding some honey and
Using the medicine that that really kind of set everything in motion because then you have the confidence then all of a sudden
You have this idea like oh I can make that kind of stuff. It's easy
you know, but most people have never really,
I don't know, they never really have done that kind of stuff. Jay Ferg says, speaking of books,
guess which one I just ordered yours from Amazon. Oh, which one? Did you order the big herbal
compendium that's not in color?
I really do apologize if you did.
I wrote a book with a guy and it's a great reference for wild foraging, but the guy wouldn't
print the book in.
It was not like a book deal.
It was just like I was writing it for him and he was like, hey, do you want your name
on it?
Like I was ghost writing.
And I said, yeah, sure. We'll put a lot of work into it and all that kind of stuff.
I got paid for it. Um, but you know, I couldn't, I can't get ahold of him anymore. He's going,
he's ghosted me and he won't put a book out with color pictures. So I'd, I'd push it a
lot more if it had color pictures. I'm not a big fan of foraging books without color pictures.
I think it's dangerous.
Truly.
Which one did you order, Jay Ferg?
Fill us in.
So, uh, oh, you ordered Darker Trails.
Yeah, I bet.
Oh, you ordered, oh, you ordered the real book.
Okay.
You ordered the super power book.
Yeah, that's the one.
That's the one right there.
No grid survival projects change your whole life.
Well, thank you for the support.
I really do appreciate that.
Let's talk commander's challenge and get out of here, okay?
I got a busy day, got all kinds of stuff to do.
Let me bring up the Commander's Challenge.
We are 13 days into February.
I personally and several of the people here at PBN believe in routines and such.
Can I get my face out of here? Because it's just
gonna mess with it. I want it bigger. No, it's as big as I can get it. Okay, so the
Commander's Challenge is something I do every February super easy. Okay, I
literally designed it for me because February sucks the most.
I'm not a big fan of winter. We got our snow, we had our Christmas, and now I'm ready
for the pond. I'm ready to be casting to the largemouth bass who will be warming up and
absolutely voracious. But I got to get through February and maybe even summer March and it's a nightmare for me every year
And my birthday is in February my father's birthdays in February the Phoenix's birthdays in February
You think it would be a month to celebrate but you know, I'm 40 years old almost. It's like
birthdays are what they are
So I created this challenge to stay dialed in mentally,
fundamentally, right? Really that's what it's all about. It's fundamentally to
stay dialed in mentally, not to fall too deep into the winter depression, lack of
sunlight, the whole thing, right? The post-mortem holiday situation.
And it works. I can tell you that much. It works. It really works.
I should add something to it and what I might add to it next year.
I didn't realize it until last year, but what else really helps is to do
one grand suckfest. You know what I mean? Like a grand
run a marathon, do a wilderness cold weather camp for like the weekend and really freeze your ass off while
you're doing it. Keep warm as best you can. These mega challenges take time out
of a terrible month like February and they also give you like a boost of
Gratitude for you know like this sitting in a room. That's heated with hot coffee and so on and so forth
Because it's very real folks, you know, you're inside more than ever February
You don't get the sunlight that you used to get you certainly don don't get the sunlight you get in like August, July, right?
Hopefully you get sunlight and
This is just what I do, you know 30 days the sadhana in the morning is
Breathing and stretching look into it. I'm not gonna explain the whole thing right now. The fasting is uniquely yours
Alright, you do you do some kind of time restricted eating,
how hours fasting, maybe days fasting if you want to do that.
I don't know whatever you want to do.
But it's in create a fast, you know what I mean?
My phone is exploding. I have to look.
I've got to imagine it's.
Oh, oh, no.
Worse than everything. a child from half across the
The county here needs a delivery
Rats oh
And I've been getting so many requests for people to come on PBN. We've got some really good ones coming man
We've got a guy who is all about
Repopulating planets
Richard Anderson he's gonna be on on the 24th. We're gonna talk about surviving on Mars. But anyway the 50
here that you see here next to me is
50 reps of three exercises, whatever you want to do whatever you want to do
50 reps of three exercises, whatever you want to do. Whatever you want to do.
You can do 50 sit-ups, 50 push-ups, 50 squats and be done for the day.
Okay?
And it's just, that is just one of those things where your body needs some kind of workout.
You do the workout, come home, or finish up whatever, and you're better off mentally.
Because your body has physical requirements, you got to meet mentally. Because you know your body has
physical requirements you got to meet them. And the other big thing is the gratitude
prayer. The gratitude prayer man before bed for those of you have trouble
falling asleep. The gratitude prayer is essential. It is essentially a long list
of the things that you're grateful for in life and you know broaden your
horizons broaden your thinking when you do this
okay my wife my kids my mom my dad yeah they're good and you could put them in
your prayer and you probably should but broadened like like back out look at the
day from start to finish in deep detail you know what I mean you might have a
cover that you're in bed with you know what I mean like you've got this cover
and when you get under this cover it's's like, oh my god, this is the best cover for winter.
Thank you God for this amazing cover.
You know what I mean? And do a nice long list and just continue to go down the list and challenge yourself.
I do this in bed with my eyes closed and this is how I fall asleep.
Particularly in particularly in the
winter months. And it's just a good way to touch base with all the beautiful
things in your life and then wake up the next day on a positive note.
Most people fall asleep like this I think. Right? Most people are like until
they can't see straight anymore and then boom. right. So that's it.
That's the that's the commander's challenge.
That's the end of the show.
I'm pretty sure I hit everything. I'm supposed to hit if not, oh well tomorrow folks.
We will be audio only the Friday audio only podcast one of my
favorite parts of the week.
My one of my favorite ways to end the week is just to get behind the
Microphone and do what I used to do before all this video streaming stuff
So if you're on YouTube if you're on rumble and X you will X if you're on X
You'll get the podcasts all the podcasts go through X if you're on rumble
You won't get it if you're on YouTube you won't get it wherever podcasts are found
you can hear the audio podcast tomorrow.
And really, it's just a gift to the podcast audience.
That's what Friday is all about.
Friday is about not forgetting about our roots and where we came from,
because we are podcasters, audio podcasters at heart, long before
cameras and podcasts were even a thing
