We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. What is up, PBN family. PBN Daily News is off for the day. Carl B is off for the day. It is going to be a little quiet on the Prepper Broadcasting Network on a Friday. I'm not going to run a rerun. We're just going to let it be. We're just going to let it be.

We're going to let the monster rest. That's almost true. That's somewhat true. It's also somewhat false. the members are going to get a very interesting interview with another incredible doctor Dr. Ben Tapper from the wellness company. Don't worry, everybody's going to get that interview tomorrow. But for you members, you're going to get a day early.

I... It was a fun interview, man. I'll tell you that much. It was a good time. And then it turned incredibly dark as these interviews do. And you're going to hear things that... I've never heard. And I had to tell Ben, I had to say, look, man, speak it.

Because this is a no holds barred podcast network. We want to hear everything. And the tale he's going to tell you, I don't know, you know. It's absolutely mortifying. I don't want to give it away. I want you guys held in suspense, and I want you to, enjoy the interview for what it is because there's a lot of great information about health and overall health and movement and supplementation and you know getting your health on track

outside of taking prescription drugs right so quiet day on pbn um this is it this is all i'm doing today if dave jones pops in i don't know he hasn't been in a while he may pop in it's the end of the end of the week for professor dave so that could happen but as As far as my schedule goes, I'm stepping in. Hey, how you doing? What's going on? And then when I sign off, enjoy the night. We don't lack for content here at PBN.

Believe you, me. We ain't hurting. There's a false storm rolling in right now. And it is picturesque, PBM. I mean, it is just beautiful. You know, like the woods behind my home are largely, well, they're dominated by, oak and hickory fundamentally.

I think there's a big poplar back there too, but fundamentally they're dominated by hickory and oak. And the larger trees. The most dominant species of tree in my backyard now is the pawpaw fruit. And that's by design. But everything's yellow. You know, almost everything is yellow.

Except this mulberry out just out the window. And it's just this yellow backdrop and this soggy gray rolling in and it's a little dark and it's just gorgeous, you know? It's just, I don't know. Seasonality is great. You know what I mean? It really is.

I always feel sad when people tell me they hate the blank because, and you'll hear it from me too. Right now I'm very optimistic. I'm rolling into fall, then into winter, and I'll be happy, Commander, all through most of winter until we hit about mid-January. That's when the depression starts. starts a set in for me.

And I start to hate winter as well. But the seasons are beautiful. I mean, I don't know. It sounds like we're going to get beaten about the head and neck with winter weather this year, so that'll break up the monotony. Give us some snow. See, the winters in Virginia are devilish because they're not really even very cold. But they're cold enough that it sucks.

Like they're not cold enough that you go outside in your car doors, frozen shut they're just cold enough that you're like i don't want to go anywhere do anything in the cold but you know that's why we did today's show because one thing i think that everyone should do one thing that i think everybody listening to this network should do yesterday oh my god we're talking camping yesterday was probably one of the best days into nights that you could have camped in the fall this year i was standing on my porch like tisks tisks prepare Sharing yourself and your family for a winter camp is something. And I don't mean a winter camp in your heated RV.

You know what I mean? I mean a literal hot tent, a literal winter camping sesh, a literal wood stove in your tent. I mean, this is something I do every year, and it's something that really is awesome. And it's awesome for a number of reasons. It's awesome because, hold on, let me search hot tent. I want to see what they're going for these days. It's awesome because they, it opens your eyes to all kinds of things. So it looks like we got a four-person, five-pound TP hot tent with a stovejack, 165.

Then we have sort of the, the RBM outdoors hot tent, one to three people. This thing is like the Cadillac, you know what I mean, $1,000. This little stove hut is really cool. $200. It's called the stove hut, 70 hot tent with two tarpoles. Very cool. They got like a single man.

I don't know how that works. You will cook yourself. Even my small little camping stove is pretty tough. I don't see the one Tigris for sale anymore. I have the one Tigris. I bought it years ago for like $99. Make some plans. Even if it's just outback,

even if you're nervous and you don't want to go, you know, into the wilderness with the serious cold happening. You know, we're scared that things could go wrong because things probably will go wrong and that's why we're doing it, right? We're doing it because things probably will go wrong. It's a weird and a dark thing to say this day and age. You know, I know it's more comfortable to say like, I practice bushcrack. to develop a better relationship with the outdoors, to be one with the outdoors, because I am of this planet.

But the truth of the matter is, for me, this is for me. You might not feel this way. And make no mistake about it, I'm not some bulldog bulldozer out there. I have a deep appreciation for the outdoors. But for me, winter camping, bushcraft,

wilderness survival skills, hunting, fishing, trapping, all those things, man. They are, they're literally, the whole purpose of that is to practice the domination of the wild. That's what it is. I mean, in my mind, that's the way I always look at it. I want to be able to dominate the wild and the wild conditions without walls, without HVAC, without, you know, anything.

It's dominion over wild places. And you can't say that kind of stuff anymore because people get upset, right? It's supposed to say it's about sustainability. It's about being one with nature. It's about forest bathing. It's about... For me, I want to make sure, regardless of the season, that I get a good shot, not just at surviving, but at dominating the wild place I'm in.

And by dominating, I just mean I want to be in that place and be as comfortable as humanly possible, right? And know, without concern that I can be hot, that I can be covered and protected, that I can protect myself from threats, all that kind of stuff that I can eat, that I can drink. that if I'm injured, I can take care of that. So when I camp in the winter, when we set up the...

And sometimes we do do it just out in the backwoods. You know what I mean? It's just, I mean, in all honesty, with kids, it's just as fun. To go outside, to start the fire. It's so rare now that I start fire. Because I have a 12-year-old. You know what I mean? I have a 12 and an 8-year-old boy.

The only time I start fires when I get a fire is when I get. out there ahead of them. Now it's, you know, who doesn't want to get, Dad, let me use the, I mean, Carter's got lighters, he's got a collection of lighters now. He's got Zipo lighters. He's got plasma lighters. He's a 12-year-old, boy, there's nothing more fun than pyro techniques. So it's fun to get out there in the tent when it's cold.

You know, like, oh, God, it's cold out, run out there. And it's fun with the kids to do. It's cold. You run out there, right? Tent stove is cold, but it's set up. My one tigris tent, I lay a tarp down. That's the floor. Like the one tigris is dirt underfoot.

And I like that. But a lot of times when the kids are there, I will put a tarp down first, and then one tigris on top, you know, little camp stove. And then they get to work. You know? Sometimes we have to gather wood ahead of time. Sometimes we bring wood. Sometimes we, you know, go around the backwoods

and collect up sticks to start the fires. And what's really cool is when it starts to work. You know, you go from being cold to all of a sudden the fire starts heating up that cast iron. That pipe leading up out of the tent starts to radiate heat. And you're like, oh, man, it's nice and toasty in here. And then we all pile into sleeping bags. And truth be told, you know, the small camping stoves by midnight are usually done.

And, you know, we're nestled all snug in the sleeping bag. And then when you wake up, it's, you know, if you want to, if you're, if you're not close, here's the truth. If you're close to home when you wake up, you're probably going to go home. Like if you're out back, you're going to be like, okay, it's morning. Let's go inside. But if you're out there doing it for real, then, you know, the first thing you need to do. And this is why I always recommend if you're doing the camp stove thing to keep kindling and fire starters in piles next to the wood stove. You know what I mean?

Not next like they're going to spark and catch fire. But close enough that you can quickly wake up in the middle of the night, throw one in and light it. And what does that look like? For me, that's a wax cup filled with wax and dryer lint, a mixture that I call Bigfoot fir, and small and medium-sized sticks, you know, and then some larger wood that can go on top once that gets going. So I can get that whole situation going in a jiff, warm up the tent, get the water boiling and whatever else it is we need to do.

And test yourself, okay? Winter is about domination. Like the reason Christmas is great, the reason humanity thrives, particularly in the northern climates, is because of our dominion over the cold weather season. And you can do that in your four walls, but you should also have the confidence that you can do that. Dominate the season. Dominate the cold. With clothing, with the right sleeping bags, with the right shoes, with the right activities,

with the right tent, with the right fuel. all of those things with the right gloves dominate the cold because that's our job as people, as humans, you know? That's all I got for you, PBN family. I hope you enjoyed it. Two great shows last night.

But this nation could hit rock bottom. in 2024. Or we could at least see some things or do some things and regret some things that happened in our nation in 2024 that changed the course of history.

But we got to live through them first, you know. We've got to survive them first. All right, PBN family members, stay tuned. Dr. Ben Tapper is incoming. And enjoy the weekend, man. We've got great stuff coming. We also have another interview that's going to be out Sunday. Natalia, from a very interesting organization.

We met at Preper Camp. She has a product that is alien. I mean, in all honesty, it's somewhat alien because it's so wild. And as far as I can tell, it works. But I'm a young study on it, so don't take my word for it. it's called X39. The product is called Life Wave. Natalia was a great guest.

And it may be something. You want to give a try? I don't know. Listen to it. Learn about the technology. It's crazy. It's like a patch that triggers. I can't remember the word.
