Hello everyone. Welcome in James Walton here, the intrepid commander of this relentless prepper broadcasting network coming to you with a ton of updates and stuff today. Okay. If you are truly a member of the PBN family, then this podcast, this short podcast will appeal to you. If you're dipping your toes in, it might be intriguing. If you're looking for prepper tips and that kind of talk, then you may want to. check out one of the other 75 podcasts we posted in the last three days. Things are happening. Things are changing, things that you don't know about are coming, and every so often I just like to do a show like this to try to help you keep up. You know, I know that it's a lot. We're a lot here at PBN. But before I get rolling, because the cold weather is outside and people are miserable,

and depression is at its peak in February, I feel like, for most. As we await the spring, the beautiful green to return to the world of white, dim, misery, cold. You know, ugh. First I grabbed the immortal poems of the English language, which is the best book I've received in a long, long time. I got it from Chin at Preper Camp this year as a gift. It may be, it rivals the Victorian Poets book, which changed my life at the time. It rivals that.

I haven't read enough of it because it's, you know, it's giant. But suffice it to say the book is dog-eared and filled with pictures of my kids, holding places for amazing poems. And it's just, every time I pick it up, I find something new. It's really great. It's called Immortal Poems of the English Language. And for those of you out there going, eh, fine by me, right?

But if you are thumbing your nose at poetry and simultaneously being depressed or woes me or, you know, no one understands, why me, why is this stuff always happen to, look, this is, you are the person that poetry was created for. Literally. You are that person. You have to find the discipline to sit down and read.

Because in a short set of stanzas, you will come to the realization. And one of the things I love about immortal poems of the English language is that the poetry is ancient, 1600s, 1,500s. And when you read that kind of stuff, you really quickly understand, like, oh, this is life. this is life and because we've decided to cut poetry out of our life and art good art out of our life largely in lieu of AI generated slop and the sirens of modern society right and I don't mean the sirens that are blaring

I mean the sirens that are calling you to crash upon the rocks right because we've swapped those things out for that Yeah, it's a vapid existence. I want to read to you from Poems for Men, the book that I released in 2025, which is my poetry, other great poems that I read all my life. A short one, and then we'll get into the updates.

But it's winter, and this poem really resonates in the wintertime. And it's called the Father's Rewards. And it questions that very thing. What are the real rewards of Father? And I don't mean the overarching generational, you know, the name gets to carry on, the pride of what a son or daughter does, goes on to be. I'm talking about in the moment. I'm talking about what are the truly joyful moments of fatherhood in the moment,

not looking to the future, not stowing away for the college, not, you know what I mean, planning for what could be. I'm talking about in the thick of it all, because there's so many of you out there, in the thick of it all. And you know how hard it can be, you know, how much of a struggle it can be, you know, the level of worry and all these kind of things

that go along with being a dad in the modern age. So a father's rewards. A father's rewards. Wood crackling in the hearth. Heat radiating into the home. A child of eight wrapped snug in his bed. December winds can only peek

through the window. Her head on your chest. Her eyes meeting yours. A pantry of options. Slices of warm meat. Good cheese on a plate. A peaceful morning.

Coffee as black as New Moon midnight. Her fingers through your hair. Her assuring words. Her dream. taking shape her safety a boy becoming a man a boy becoming himself seeing the best pieces of you and her within him father's rewards pb and family i hope you felt it i hope you've seen something like that people experience that in my book darker trails i wrote in 2018 there's a picture it's a weird

charcoal sketch of a sort of like a sketchy human like figure standing in a doorway, leaning his elbow into the doorway and standing, staring into a dark room, and it's a self-portrait, really, is what it is. Because I've had many a night when the whole house is asleep that I have stood in the doorway of my son's combined bedroom, or now they are in separate bedrooms, and looked in on the scene, watching their little chests rise and fall, and feeling what so many men neglect to feel, which is just the joy of the fact that the glass is not broken. The heater is running.

The wind is not blowing in. The child is not sick with some uncurable disease that you know will kill him. And that life in the moment is pretty damn good, right? I don't even know if we're not a grateful people as much as we are just oversaturated. right we're just saturated and accustomed to things going right right there's a cough the kid runs to the pediatrician there's a you know what I mean so we miss out on the gratitude of just the children are fed tonight the house is warm and life is good right on to PBN okay thank you for humoring me there's always this part of me that is at play

and I have to give a little bit of it to the listening audience because, you know, some of you out there love it. It's not to bury the content in weird stuff. But this is me too, you know what I mean? And we have enough prepping content hitting the airwaves now on a daily, weekly base. It's amazing. It's really great.

Some of the funniest things in life, man, I'm telling you. The no-dove moments that change, life, right? So let's start with that. Let's start with the archived shows so that everybody knows what is happening on PBI. Because you might be tuning in new, you might be tuning in old, you might be tuning in like you've always tuned in over the years, and I thank you all, whoever you are, whichever category you fall into. But the archived shows are a new thing, right? We're back to a medical Monday, right? A medical Monday, largely populated by Judson Carroll and his incredible herbal medicine.

herbal medicine for preppers series, right, which is amazing. But we have Cat Ellis, we have the Dr. Bones and Nurse Seam. We've got a lot of great medical content in the chamber that is going to come out every Monday, right? Tactical Tuesday. We're doing something on Wednesday and Thursday that starts with a W and a T. Okay. I'm not completely sold on Wilderness Wednesday or Thrifty Thursday. we'll probably do some throwback Thursday.

But those two are days, you know, where you'll get Bushcraft-related content, outdoors-related content on Wednesdays from the archive. Thursday you'll get content. Foyle Friday, generally speaking, conspiracy-based stuff or maybe stuff that once was conspiracy, you know, five years ago in the PBN archive, but now is 100% the reality.

Every day. in this country, right? The crazy things that preppers once said come true. We had a great show from, who was it? Was it Cat Ellis? I think it was Cat Ellis, the herbal prepper,

who did a great show about, you know, preparing for pandemics and what that could look like. And it's eerie to listen to because I think it was 2016, 2017, something like that. It's really an eerie thing to listen to. That's the,

type of content that people would listen to pre-2020 and go like, that could never happen. I mean, that can never happen, you know?
