and family in just a couple weekends. Two Sundays from now, I'll be packing up and heading home from Preper Camp. That's hard to believe, or at least close to packing up. And, man, that's a hard one to believe. It snuck up on you. Well, it sneaks up on you when it comes a month and a half early, I guess, right? I want to talk to you about that. I want to let you know that, along with all the fun that we're having,

in PreperCamp, don't forget if you're coming this year to bring your foil. The tinfoil hat contest will be Saturday night as per usual under the big tent. One of the things we've been talking about is the tinfoil hat Hall of Fame. This will be year, what, five, I think, four or five. And my first year was, I think my first year was 19. 20. This is year 5 of the tinfoil hat contest. So, and if you have never seen it, if you've never been a part of it, if you've never experienced the level of art and engineering that goes into these things, man. All I can tell you is bring your best. Bring your best and do your best. And who knows? Anything can happen. You know what I mean?

anything can happen years past we've seen such amazing work come from people it's unbelievable so saturday night 12 p.m. as per usual during the lunch break come to the disaster coffee pbm. booth I'll be there come with your hat and show off your skills man it's going to be an awesome year tons of stuff going on look for the feet The Phoenix's tent will be tremendous. Dave Jones, the NBC guy, will be tremendous. I'm sure he'll have awesome gear for sale too. I'm not sure.

I don't think the Bufords are coming this year, actually. But listen, it's going to be an amazing year. It's always an amazing year. Every year at Preper Camp is a ball. If you've got your tickets. The new location is tremendous. I think you're going to have a great time. I'm looking forward to it.

I'm excited about it. Not only am I going to have coffee, I'm going to have some other goodies too, some things that I might actually sell to the public. Some incredible... Well, I may bring my oasis, which is a water distill power generation invention. It's a pretty amazing little thing.

I might bring that, and if someone wants it, I know the guy who makes them, so if someone wants it bad enough, I may sell it. I do love it. I'm definitely going to bring our sponsor the dirty man safe. Everybody's going to get a chance to pick up and hold and look at the dirty man safe. There may be a dirty man safe. That may be for sale as well if someone wants or bad enough.

Yeah, things like that. I want to bring some products, some sponsor products to show off and let people touch on and hug on and squeeze on. I'll probably bring the Survival Scripts case as well. and just leave that on the table opened up so everybody can get a look at that. It's a phenomenal little case. Something like, I always forget how many of it's 10 or 12 or 14 antibiotics. Crazy. Does it all.

Survival scripts.com. What else, folks? There's going to be a link in this show that's going to direct you to the Red Beacon YouTube channel. I need you to subscribe over at the Red Beacon YouTube. channel because for every subscriber we're going to add a sentence to this new story I'm writing called the Florilegium and if you're a prepper survivalist sci-fi thrillers suspense whatever the hell you're going to love the floor legium as it comes together but we're doing something different we're doing something new we're trying something new I don't know if we're going to do it we can try

it and see if it works it may fall on its face for every subscriber I get over at the Red Beacon on YouTube, I'm going to write a sentence on that story. And I'm going to continue to do so all the way up until the story's complete. And I think it'll be a fun way and an interactive way to build a story. You know, and obviously comments, please. So you'll see where we post the story as it progresses. You can also leave comments over at Red Beacon Media.com. The Florilidium is listed up there on the Navbar.

read the story in its entirety right now. The reason I decided to go with this YouTube channel subscriber. One subscriber for one sentence over at YouTube is because we have three subscribers. So I figured we can start clean over there and yeah, I don't know. See how many people get into the story, how many people go over there and follow us, subscribe to us. And of course the Red Beacon YouTube. channel will also have things like clips from Red Beacon Daily News and show clips and all that

kind of stuff. The SHTF chef will be over there once we get that up and running. And another show called The Grim Dark Dispatch that I think you guys, well, some of you will like and some of you be like, what in the world is this? But that is for the hobby section, you know? Hobby is important. And one surefire thing about a good hobby, like if you have a good hobby, one way to know if you You got yourself a good hobby beyond the fact that you just enjoy doing it, is if you love it so much that people will clown you about it. That's a pretty good way to know. And I have several of those. They're very rewarding parts of my life, man.

I want people to get back to that. I really do. I want people to get back to that. We had an amazing show list last week. Incredible. Absolutely amazing. Collection of shows. Go back, listen to what we brought to you throughout the week.

Definitely listen to the AI Data Center contractor show. Definitely listen to the guys from the Patriot Power Hour amazing show. Matter of facts, guys were great too. I think this week's Matter of Facts Monday tomorrow, the break of dawn, is going to be an amazing show, so don't miss that one. Yesterday I created a new... I know. It's crazy.

I can't stop. One of the things I've been doing to spread the word about PBN is sending emails out to news sites and prepper news sites largely. People who are looking for news from RSS feeds. One of the things I created yesterday for the Prepper News Wire, it's basically a new podcast. If you search PBN, it might come up. I don't know.

I might actually have to make it private. Because I don't know if I want it to be public or not. Because it might confuse people. because it has our logo on it. But basically what I'm trying to do is find all the best prepping centric. Not prepping centric, but skill-based, how-to-based, centric podcasts, and build a playlist out of them. All our great tips, all of our great prepper tips,

all of our great shows that are focused on a specific topic or skill or thing, and build a playlist of that stuff to share with the, these folks who are doing, you know, aggregated news and all that kind of stuff. Want to get PVN up on as many platforms as possible. You know what I mean? That's the goal. So the big news, of course, is water. Water is all the rage. Water is all the rage now this many days forward.

And I knew it would be. That's why I did the show Wednesday. My Surviving America show was all about water. It was about the future of water access in the U.S. Because if you think Iran's the only people that are going to hack the water system, you're out of your mind. Right? In fact, it may be time to upgrade to a three-stage water filtration system in your own home, no matter where you are, whether you're on, you know, whatever. We are entering an age, you know what I mean?

We are entering an age here. This artificial intelligence thing is going to make everyone, and that's the key word. Like the key thing to understand, artificial intelligence is going to make everyone more capable, everyone who he decides to use it, right? At whatever, more capable of whatever. Just this morning, I get a text from my business partner, Andrew Bobo, former host of the Matter of Facts podcast. And he gives me a, just basically a completely revamped website model. that was spit out by artificial intelligence.

And like I said, you don't have to utilize what artificial intelligence does, right? You don't have to lean on it for everything that you do in life. Obviously, that'll make you weak. But it's a really great way to mock things up and go, okay, I like that. I don't like that. This took me five seconds instead of five days to get done. And now I can see if whether or not I want to invest that time in it. You know, to be honest with you, after a couple of tweaks, it's really, there's some light rebranding going on with the disaster coffee over there at DisasterCoffee.com, our coffee company.

Nothing big, nothing huge, nothing crazy, right? The coffee stays the same. Thank you all, those of you who patronize disastercoffee.com. We, you know, we're six, seven years in business, and it's been a wonderful run, man. We all love coffee. We all drink disaster coffee. coffee and it's phenomenal. It's just a great thing. But suffice it to say, you know, everybody who uses artificial intelligence is going to

become more capable. The good guys are going to become more capable and the bad guys are going to become more capable. And that's it, man. This is the age we live in. It's not the age we're going to. It's not the, right? This is the age we're living in. If you think that the purple-haired pink eyebrowed person who's in. charge of water or in charge of policy up there in your big city? Has a plan

for Iran hackers? Has a plan for the hackers attacking the water system? Has a plan more importantly for your family when the unthinkable happens? You're out of your mind. You're absolutely out of your mind. You're absolutely

out of your mind. It just is what it is. You know? So look, you want to shore this thing up real fast. Do what we do. I know that there's some of you out there will say PFAs and forever chemicals and all this kind of. Grab yourself about six to 10 cases of 40 bottle water. Okay. If you do nothing else, you don't have to do anything else. You don't have to buy a water filter. You don't have to do anything else. At the very least, go by yourself a half pallet of water, right? Or 10 cases, 12 cases, or something along those lines,

stored in the shed, stored in the hallway, stored in the garage, stored somewhere, where it's not hot and cold and different temperatures all the time. You can put it underneath a bed. It's a good spot to put it. You can put it underneath multiple beds, right? Or you could be like us and just stack it in the freaking kitchen and get over it. You know what I mean? It's not better homes and gardens magazine in my house. I could tell you that much. So stack the bottle water up. That's it. You get a notice, right, that comes across the home.

My God, you wouldn't believe it. The hackers are in the water system and they shut it down. And we don't know how to turn it back on and they're holding it ransom. And until we pay X amount of millions, we're not going to be able to turn the water on. Yeah. Guess who's not in an emergency? Guess which family is not going to be in an emergency? The family who buys the water, right?

The family who has the water sitting at the house already. Right? This is the easiest of easiest methods. You don't have to rain barrel. You don't have to cut gutters. You don't have to go find a creek. They go well, filter, boil, whatever. Nothing wrong with any of that.

And you should have the capability to do that stuff. But if you're watching this water thing right now and you're listening to this network and going, I need a solution real quick before I go full-blown. prepper or even if you have all these solutions but you realize like I want it I want I just want something easier you know what I mean that's it that's the easy way that's the way to do it that's the way to instantly have water that you can drink it's also a way to like depending on how you drink water if you drink water out of the tap if you filter water out of the tab if you drink bottles of water, whatever you do, having that alternate source is a good way to be like, oh, I don't know.

I don't know what's going on with tap water. I don't drink it, you know, but you should know. You should, you know, one of the things you're going to hear a lot more about in the coming days is be prepared solutions.co. And their amazing dashboard that if you lived in Minnesota and you checked your dashboard daily and when I, you know, when I show you the dashboard, you're going to be like, oh, yeah, I will definitely check that daily. It's one of those things that, like, you would know right off the bat. Wake up, turn it on, boom, okay, where's the alerts, threat alerts, what's going on locally with power outage, what's going on with, you know, a bunch of different things, a bunch of different indicators.

For your area, not the nation, not this, not that, right? It's a very cool system, man. It's futuristic prepping is what it is. least futuristic threat awareness is what it is. And it's real threat awareness, too, you know? Look, I'm going to tell you from experience, like, I was a part of a lot of those threat alert things, forward observer and the, what's the other one? Threats alerts USA, right? I was a part of a lot of these things for a long time. I spent many, many, many hours of my life mulling over threats on my phone being in the note bringing it to you so i can't say that was it was you know it didn't have any

value for a guy like me it had value um but you know what man 99.9% of those threats and those threat and those threat alerts that i got had almost no effect on my life they had those no bearing on my life whatsoever nothing just nothing do you know what i mean they would run my blood pressure of I'm sure they would get me all anxious and all psychotic. And I had to be, like, well aware of the fact. And it came to pass that one day I realized, you know, these things just mean nothing. Like, they really mean nothing. They're doing nothing to help me out or help me better be prepared for a situation.

And that was the reality. And what I like about this over at prepared Solutions.com, what I like about this, this threat dashboard is, or the awareness dashboard, it's, it's local. It's you. It's your life. Every day, it's a slice of your life. You'll see it in the very near future. So, lots going on to PBN as usual.

You know what I mean? It's just, we never stop. We are relentless. But I wanted to give you that tip about water. And in the grander scheme, you know, you're probably already thinking about it. But, you know, now's the time to start considering, like, what do I want the future of water to be? You know, going in, living in the AI age, living in the age of highly capable terrorists, highly capable militaries, you know, drone swarms and drone tactics. And, you know, I mean, there are a lot of things you could do with a drone to ruin the water system.

Like, what do I want to do about water? Is where I'm at with water right now where I want to be or nah? You know what I mean? Where do I want to be with water? Do I want to catch it? See, this is my take on almost every prep. Almost every style of prep is a layered attack. Right?

So I want to have answers in a number of different ways when it comes to prepping for things. Do you know what I mean? I want multitudes of answers. I don't want to just be like, well, we've purchased a great water filtration system for our tap. Whatever the hell comes through that thing. We know we're going to get clean water, reverse osmosis, whatever. We're going to get clean water out the tap. And that's my water preparedness.

No, I want stored water. I want convenient bottled water. I want rain barrels with water. I want all kinds of options when it comes to water filtration, right? I want hand pump water filters. I want the incredible sidekick straw filter by hydro blue. I want gravity filtration. I just want it all.

Because when I feel like I have a bit of everything, then I can react to anything. But I know that takes time, that takes money. You know, even the Oasis. The Oasis gives me the ability to take. Dirty chemical infested. I mean, I don't know if it's that bad, but it can't be great. Dirty chemical filled water from my creek, right? And turn it into distilled water, drinkable.

These are all things, man. These are all things that pile and compile to create a water preparedness plan that no matter what the news says, you can go, okay, we'll drink water. I mean, that's fundamentally it. At the end of your preparedness plan, you should be able to say, okay, we'll eat because of our food storage plan. Okay, we'll have power because of our off-grid power plan or a backup power plan or even our blackout kit. We'll have light. We'll be able to see because of this, right?

We'll be able to, we'll survive because of our emergency plans and gear. It's really that simple, you know? It's really that simple. So I'm going to get off of here, folks. I do appreciate it. It's back to action. It is back to action Monday morning. Right out of the gate like crazy.

Starting with a matter of facts podcast, Medical Monday. I myself will be live. And church and state is back in action. The shadow is back on the air. It's the prepper broadcasting network, man. It's, we're unstoppable. Probably no Monday night show. tomorrow, so don't worry about that.

But, uh, all right, folks. I will talk to you guys soon. Don't forget to give honor to God. It is his day. All days are his day, but this one in particular. Talk to you soon.
