[00:01:54] SINGING auld [00:02:00] lang 

[00:02:18] Camo Keith: [00:02:18] READING auld 

[00:02:26] lang 

[00:03:00] [00:02:48] Camo Keith: [00:02:48] syne

[00:04:45] [00:04:00] all Lang Syne for all Lang sign. My dear for all lengths signed, we'll take a cup of kindness yet for all lengths, all Lang Syne was originally a Scottish poem that was later set to music [00:05:00] phrase. All Lang signed translates literally to old. Long since in English. And it means something akin to time's gone by you ever, uh, wonder what that song was about running.

[00:05:11] Rhonda Trigger: [00:05:11] I did. And I'm glad you told me the translation. 

[00:05:14] Camo Keith: [00:05:14] A lot of people have, you know, I've read the actual, uh, Scottish version and it, I can't understand the damn thing he's talking about. Honestly, I can't, I was going to do the Scottish version of it and then everything, everybody be like, what the. 

[00:05:25] I thinkk you 

[00:05:26] Rhonda Trigger: [00:05:26] should have done it with a Scottish accent.

[00:05:29] Camo Keith: [00:05:29] I can't even do a Scottish accent. I have no idea. Uh, yeah, so it's actually a good poem. A song is good as well. It's basically, you know what it is. It's a drinking soft Scottish people and Irish people love drinking songs and British people as well, loved drinking songs. And that's really what it is. It's kind of like a, it's a sad farewell to the days gone by two to the year of past.

[00:05:52] And you basically are singing it with a drink in your hand. What did you say in it? A, uh, right. Goodwill drought for old Lang [00:06:00] Syne. So yeah, we've officially crossed over the threshold of the new year and time's gone by 2020 is dead and gone. What do you think about that? I'm so happy that it's gone. Uh, yeah, it was a crazy year.

[00:06:13] There's no doubt about it. Definitely a crazy year. You have anything you want to talk about? 

[00:06:19] Rhonda Trigger: [00:06:19] Well, the one thing I was going to say that I learned from 2020 was. How impressionable people are. If you look back for the year and think about all of the fake news that was out there, and I'm not just saying on one side of the spectrum, but on both sides, people just believe everything they're told, believe everything they read. And it really, it just really hit me this last year about how impressionable people really are. And they just run with it. 

[00:06:46] Camo Keith: [00:06:46] Yeah. Younger generation, mostly talking about. At really just anybody. 

[00:06:51] Rhonda Trigger: [00:06:51] It seems to be a little bit more extreme with the younger ones, but I've seen the older ones go a little crazy too.

[00:06:57] Camo Keith: [00:06:57] You're supposed to be able to look at the year before [00:07:00] and, um, celebrate it. It's like I said, in the last episode, I have nothing to celebrate really, except for the podcast. That's really all. Uh, and I don't mean personally, I mean, in the world, you know, personally, I I'm doing great. I have no problems with everything.

[00:07:15] I love my life, but yeah, 2020 sucked for a lot of, I think everyone is celebrating the end of 2020 rather than the beginning of 2020 will be a great way to put it. Yep. You know, for, uh, with the exception of a few bruises, most of us have made it through relatively unscathed. Unfortunately. There's the 1,834,668.

[00:07:36] I had to write it down. People who lost their lives to COVID-19 last year, worldwide. That was worldwide. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know what? There's probably so many more, you know, China stopped giving their statistics three months after it started. If you go look at the actual statistics for China, it's like a thousand people got sick and 38 people died.

[00:07:56] It's a ridiculous number. I'm sure that number is way, way [00:08:00] higher. Plus there's also places in the world that we can't even get statistics from. 

[00:08:04] Rhonda Trigger: [00:08:04] I have a problem with that anyway, because people catch COVID and they die from other complications, which I guess STEM from COVID. But they rule the cause of death as COVID, even though it was pneumonia or something else.

[00:08:16] Camo Keith: [00:08:16] Well, also, uh, I know here in the U S a lot of the hospitals, they get their budget from COVID they from, from the, from the government. So if they raise those numbers up, but they get those numbers up for COVID deaths, they get more money. So I'm sure there's a lot of shenanigans going on when it comes to that.

[00:08:33] I think a lot of people feel that way. Yeah. You know, we usually do the prepper news in the beginning, which we're not going to do. Tonight. Um, tonight we are going to take a few minutes to remember all Lang signed 20, 20, uh, and then later on, we're going to do a bunch of listener Q and a, which we have not done in a long time.

[00:08:51] We really need to do it because we've got some really great questions, you know, from some really great listeners. We have great listeners. We do. I think you've got some things you want to mention too. Right? [00:09:00] You've got some reviews and a couple of emails you want to read as well. Yes, I do. Uh, when we went through and collected feedback from our listeners and some questions that came in that we're going to go over.

[00:09:10] So 2020, think about this for just a minute. This time, last year, none of us heard of COVID 19. I didn't know what the hell it was. And I've heard a little something. We had those news reports that were beginning to trickle in about, you know, some rare bat disease that was making people sick in China today.

[00:09:30] A year later. COVID and the wave of destruction and change it brought with it a so-called the new norm by most people, the new norm. That's what we get now. I hate that phrase. I hate it. I won't use it. You know, the phrase, the new norm. I do not like that phrase and I try very hard not to say it. Yeah. I hear it all the time and I hate it.

[00:09:53] I'm not going to use it. I won't use it. Okay. Because it's not the new norm. It shouldn't be the new norm. Th when [00:10:00] I think of the new norm, it's supposed to be, to me, at least it's supposed to be something that describes an improved situation, you know, new and improved things like technology, medicines, practices, things that are better and are done on a regular basis now because they're better.

[00:10:16] And if the new norm, that's what I think the new norm should be. It shouldn't be the new norm is, is, you know what we're going through now. If I think about it this way, when I bought my 4k ultra HD HDR TV, I was extremely excited about, I was bragging about it. I loved it. It was at this new, amazing piece of technology that enhanced my life.

[00:10:36] Okay. I loved it. I still love it. But now everybody's getting a 4k TV and that's a great way to say it's the new norm. That's what I look at. It. It's something new. It's something better. That's a stupid analogy, but that's just the way I look at it. It's supposed to be something to describe good, something that made our lives better.

[00:10:56] Our government's telling us that, you know, when we can leave our [00:11:00] homes, if, if we can leave our homes, uh, who we can hang out with what businesses are allowed to be open, which ones are, have to be closed them telling us that we can't go to church or can't go to school or to work or to the park. That should not be the new norm.

[00:11:14] It's not the new norm. Not to me. 2020 brought us this bastardized version of the new norm. And I don't like it. 2020 is the year of face mask as a year of stayed home, hand sanitizers, empty grocery store shelves, riots, destruction, the rise of terrorist groups like Antifa and black lives matter. That's what 2020 gave us.

[00:11:35] We had the continuation of fake news. Uh, never Trumpers the stolen election. These are the things we got in 2020 as preppers. We need to look back at 2020 in a slightly different way than most other folks do. We have to consider the events that took place in 2020, that affect the way we prep. How and why we prep things like the, uh, the Australian [00:12:00] bushfires, the American Canadian wildfires, almost 9 million acres burned in the U S did you know that 9 million acres about twice as much as the year before 582,000 acres in Canada and check this out and astonishing 46 million acres burned in Australia.

[00:12:20] Thousands of, of structures were lost. Many lives were lost where these folks prepped, where you prepped in case it came to your area. Did you come from an area that was burned and where you prepped? What about Brexit? We all know about Brexit, right? Well, everything will change in the UK because of Brexit.

[00:12:39] It's finalized. It's happening. Our UK brothers and sisters need to step up their game right now. Okay. Cause there is no time to waste across the pond. There's no time to waste. You combine COVID with Brexit and you get a recipe for disaster. Don't count on the government for assistance. It's not going to happen.

[00:12:57] You will be disappointed. Uh, what else? In [00:13:00] 2020, we had the, uh, we had an earthquake swarm in Puerto Rico. Lots of people died so much damage. It's not even funny. They're there. They're in ruins basically. We had the record breaking 2020 at Atlantic hurricane season and the Pacific typhoon season. We had the catastrophic flooding in the Philippines and Cambodia, the civil war in Yemen with 24 million people in desperate need of assistance.

[00:13:24] Right now, as we speak, we have the 2020 tornado season in the U S that took 75 lives and caused $12.6 billion in damages. Uh, we had the political and economic crisis in Venezuela. We all know about that. We've talked about that before made even worse by COVID with inhuman conditions and suffering and the rising death toll happening as we speak.

[00:13:48] Honestly, there's just really no way to describe Venezuela. There just isn't. Where are these people prepped? Could they have been prepped for this? You know, and there are many other examples of disasters, [00:14:00] manmade and natural disasters that took place. In all Lang Syne 2020, the point being, this is why we prep.

[00:14:08] This is why we have this show. We don't prep for the zombie apocalypse or the Yellowstone supervolcano popping it's cork or an alien invasion. Yes. I love to say that I'm prepping for the zombie apocalypse. We all do it's fun. Right? Okay. Because what I'm actually saying, when I say the zombie apocalypse is I'm saying.

[00:14:28] A nuclear or an EMP attack. I'm saying a civil war. I'm saying a pandemic, like the one we're in now or a catastrophic storm, like a hurricane or tornado. We hope for the best, but we prepare for the worst. So what could we have done in 2020 to prep for these things? What about you? I was prepared to work from home.

[00:14:51] I actually, um, was very happy that I had that set up. Ready. You know, I heard something about, about that. Um, about working from home. A lot of people are working from [00:15:00] home many, many people, and the way that this doctor was describing the situation, he described it as in memories, we have memories of 2020, but we don't have vivid memories of 2020.

[00:15:12] And the one of the reasons why is think about this when you go to a restaurant, he said that you're building. Memories when you're in that restaurant, what you ate, the conversations you had, the excitement, the people you met, whatever it was, you had this, you had all these memories, your, your mind was building.

[00:15:30] Now think about if I said to you, February 1st, I went to a restaurant. I went to a restaurant. We went in, we sat down, we order food. We ate, it was great. We paid and we went home. That is a construct that our brain automatically gives us. We know that we go to a restaurant, these are the things that are going to happen.

[00:15:50] So we automatically remember those things. Our brain doesn't have to think about it. It just remembers it. But can I tell you what I ate that night? Nope. I can't tell you what the [00:16:00] waiter's name was or how much the bill was. I can't remember any, was it raining? I have no idea. I can't remember those things.

[00:16:07] Our minds need to have these, these embellishments, these memories that go into the, the structure of our daily lives. And people that are working from home right now. They're not getting that. They're just going to, they're staying at home and they're working. They can't remember what they wore yesterday or what they ate for lunch two days.

[00:16:27] Yeah. That's exactly right. Every day is the same, you know, when you're, you're working in an office or you go into a job, you're like, Hey yeah, Wednesday was cool. We were talking about this thing. And we all went, we had some guy brought donuts and we were, you know, this happened, but it's not happening now.

[00:16:44] People are just home. They're in their pajamas, sweat pants, and they're getting their cup of coffee sitting down in front of their computer and they're going to work and it's mundane and it's boring and it's just work. And there's none of this extra filler stuff that's going into our [00:17:00] minds. We just know that we went to work today.

[00:17:01] That's all we know. And that sucks. And there's very little social interaction or water cooler talk change that this, this has to change in 2021, or people are going to start going crazy. Really, I saw a picture of, uh, in great Britain of, I guess it was like the sign of an apartment building where it's some flats were and somebody had put stickers on their windows facing outward.

[00:17:23] That said, I am so effing board or something like that. People are going to go nuts. Anyway. I don't know, just, just getting off topic, but, uh, so yeah, that's 2020. Anything else you want to say? About 2020 before we kick its ass and send it down the road? I think it's just a good reminder for everyone to do that, our own research and think for themselves.

[00:17:46] Um, if you think back about some of the crazy news stories this last year, some of them are just ridiculous. And, um, for me personally, when something sounds ridiculous, like the president injecting [00:18:00] recommending injecting bleach in somebody's pains, Do some research and think for yourself because, you know, that's just outlandish.

[00:18:08] There was so many outlandish news stories from both sides. I'm not picking on one side or the other, both sides had some crazy shit outlandish, fake news that we, uh, that will that's injected into our memory of 2012. It'd be the worst year of lie telling that I've ever seen. Well, it's an election year, so no, I don't recall any election ever being this horrible.

[00:18:30] All right guys, stick with us. We'll be back in one [00:20:00] [00:19:00] minute.. 

[00:20:13] Survivalist off graders, homesteaders, and all of them. Like-minded folks listening tonight from every corner of the globe, regardless of what you may call yourself, we are all preppers. You may be new to prepping, or you may be a seasoned pro with a one constant that ties us all together. Are these feelings about rest?

[00:20:48] We have about the world around us Wars between nations over power, religious beliefs, economics, and ideologies in fighting within our own governments. Fractures developing between our [00:21:00] own countrymen and an uncertain future for all mankind prepping is not a new mindset. In fact, until recent modern times prepping was the only mindset you either prepped or you didn't survive the elite class along with the governments they control are preppers.

[00:21:18] They have been, and always will be prepped. Are you the OGT X team believes in a world where all people. Are preppers. All people live without fear without the shackles of government control a world where we separate ourselves from the heart and become self-sustaining self-sufficient self-controlling thinkers and doers in action, years of our own destiny becoming a better, more efficient prepper survivalist.

Thank you guys so much for sticking with us through the mid show break guys tonight, we're doing listener Q and A's.

[00:23:26] So listen up because lots of us have these questions throughout our prepper journey. Rhonda. Did you have any announcements to say tonight before we get into this? 

[00:23:34] Rhonda Trigger: [00:23:34] All right. As we get into 2021, one of my personal goals, and I think both of our goals is to be more engaging with our users this year, because it's really fun to hear from you.

[00:23:43] And it's fun to respond to you. So we have a new service that we just started called SpeakPipe and it allows you the listener to leave us voicemails. You can go to speak pipe.com/au GTX. I'll spell that for you. [00:24:00] Speakpipe.com/OGTX. Just click the button, leave your voicemail. And it will send it to us in an email.

[00:24:08] Camo Keith: [00:24:08] Okay. So guys, I checked this out. It's really, really cool. You go to  speakpipe.com/OGTX. Our little page comes up. There's a record button. You press a record button and you just start talking. You can say, Hey guys, what's going on? This is blah, blah, blah. Just wanted to say hi, you can say, Hey guys, that last episode sucked. We didn't like it. You can say anything you want. You can give us an hour long story of why you prep. And basically he records it. Then we go and we can hear it. If you want to get on the show, tell us, Hey guys, you can put this on the show if you want. And maybe it'll get on the show. It's fantastic. And we can respond to you if you don't want to go to the show.

[00:24:43] That's fine too. If you don't leave your name or your email, it just shows up to us as anonymous. I think it's going to be fun or it could be a huge pain in our ass. We don't know what was it called again, Speakpipe.com/OGTX. So what do we got, what do we do? What are we doing right now?

[00:25:00] [00:25:00] Rhonda Trigger: [00:25:00] So I've, uh, went through our Facebook or Facebook messenger or emails and the different, uh, platforms that we have and collected the questions that I've seen from our listeners and a few, uh, comments that they've left for us. The first one I wanted to talk about came through Facebook. Uh, someone named Christian has family members would nut allergies, which most people know can be very dangerous.

[00:25:23] So Christian wrote in, um, finding food and medical supply preps are challenging to avoid all nuts and also have an adequate supply of epi pens and Benadryl. Finding that fast food and ready foods to eat on the go like protein bars can be hard to find, even if it says no nuts, but it's processed on machinery along with nuts.

[00:25:42] Makes it a no-go. Um, there's more to his message. His daughter has had a hard time. Uh, they've been to the hospital a few times, so I wanted to make a point to answer Christian's question today. And what was his question? This question is asking for help to find [00:26:00] foods that can be ready to eat on the go and double as emergency foods or preparedness foods.

[00:26:04] Gotcha. Okay. So what I, what I turned up is that mountain house foods, have you heard of mountain house? Oh yeah. They manufactured their foods in a nut-free facility except for coconut. So I don't know for sure that coconut is not the same as a peanut allergy, but that's on their website. It's a nut-free facility with the exception of coconut.

[00:26:24] So I think you should check those, put those guys out. If you look@foodassets.com, they actually have a, an allergen information chart on there specific to mountain house freeze, dried foods. And they cover several different kinds of allergies, including eggs, peanuts, milk, shellfish, soy. Um, I think there's about 12 different allergies on that Allergan chart that you can look at for mountain house.

[00:26:48] So mountain house has this on their website. Mountain house has their, um, nut-free disclaimer on their website and food assets.com is where I found the Allergan chart for [00:27:00] mountain house foods. Gotcha. So that's an emergency food source for you. As far as, um, energy bars and things like that, that you can take in a go bag.

[00:27:09] There's another website I found called spoken.com. It's spelled spokin.Com. And I have an entire list of all kinds of nut-free energy bars and granola bars. There. There's a couple that I wanted to call out specifically. The first one's called don't go nuts and they have a good variety of children's snack bars that I think you'll like, um, they've built their own nut-free facility and they guarantee that their foods are nut-free all the way from the farm to the table.

[00:27:38] So that's called. Don't go nuts. We'll put the link to that in our show notes. Yeah. Cool. The next one is very similar name. It's called go. No nuts. So the first ones don't go there. Well, you gotta be really careful saying these names, huh? Next one's called go. No nuts. They also have a variety of flavors, always nut-free and we'll put there, um, they're very [00:28:00] nutritious bars by the way.

[00:28:00] And they, they address other allergies besides just nuts. So we'll put both of those in the show notes for you. Do you ever seen the, uh, Saturday night live, uh, episode with, uh, what's his name with, uh, Schweddy balls? I think that was the inspiration for all podcasts kind of reminds me. Yeah, probably kind of reminds me of what you're, how you're talking with these.

[00:28:23] Yeah. I mean, it's just weird. No one can resist my nuts. Anyway. Sorry, go ahead. You were saying it was a good episode though. Okay. So that's what I have for Christian. And I'm gonna, um, post these links in the show notes. And I'll also share that on Facebook because that was a Facebook post on our page. So everyone can see it there as well.

[00:28:45] Do you have any, uh, thing to add to that? 

[00:28:47] Camo Keith: [00:28:47] I don't, I don't, I don't know anything about the allergy things. I would say you need to save up on EpiPens. I think that there's a shelf life to Abby pans. I think it's three to five years. I would [00:29:00] stockpile epi pens. And I would date them, make sure they're dated and use them accordingly.

[00:29:06] Rhonda Trigger: [00:29:06] It's an excellent point. And I'll throw one more thing in there if you're really going to get serious about long-term food. Uh, think about making some pemmican or canning and some things like that, because those can have a really long shelf life and you know, what's going in it because you're making it yourself.

[00:29:21] That's great idea. Are right. The rest of these questions are for you to answer for me. You're going to be on the spot. I might have some, so you're going to ask the question and I'm going to try and answer it. I'm going to read them to you. All right. All right. We have a listener named Mark from Indiana who emailed in with a question about preparing the mindset of the little ones.

[00:29:40] His question is how can I prepare my household and my family for potential civil unrest in our neighborhood? I'm not sure. I would personally know how to react and be safe if a riot or alluding situation broke out in my area, much less what to teach my children to prepare their mindset and their reactions accordingly.

[00:29:58] Camo Keith: [00:29:58] Okay. So [00:30:00] first of all, he's asking about children, which I have children, but my children are grown and I'm not sure how to answer that. Um, I can definitely answer to the civil unrest part of it. You know, it's really hard to put in perspective the dangers that are involved in a civil unrest because there's many forms of it.

[00:30:17] Okay. What are we talking about? When we say civil unrest, I look to the riots and the violence that, you know, that took place in our country and all over the world, actually, what was like 1500 cities worldwide. I think that had, you know, examples, real life, examples of civil unrest. In this case, we would have to consider the threats that come with it.

[00:30:39] A gang mentality force of very emotional, extremely violent, mostly young strong men who are clearly willing to commit violent acts, including murder at any cost. They are fearless. They feel justified in their actions. And this makes them [00:31:00] very dangerous. Okay. More dangerous, I think, than anything else you might face in a survival situation.

[00:31:07] If we're stuck in a civil and rest situation, you're dwelling your business is directly in the path of let's say a swarm, it's an eminent threat situation. This is what I would do. You have to decide for yourself and number one, most importantly, you need to bug out. You need to get out of Dodge. Okay. Grab your belongings, your important documents, your weapons, your clothing, food medications.

[00:31:32] For everybody. You need to leave the area immediately. Now some would say, hell no, I'm going to fight guys. I understand these feelings. I do more than most, I believe in the stand your ground mindset. But these are extraordinary circumstances. If you begin to shoot writers, Who have trespassed or even broken into your location, your home, your business, whatever it is, they will focus their cause on you.

[00:31:59] And [00:32:00] they will not stop until they burn you out. They're known for this riders are known for this. That's why they call it a gang mentality. You and everybody with you will not survive. I can pretty much guarantee that. So you need to bug out. It is not good to fight in a situation like this, unless it is a last resort situation.

[00:32:20] Bugging out is your best safest action you can take. The second part of this will be what if you can't bug out the very first thing you need to do this very first thing I would do, I would call the authorities. I would call them via nine one one. I would use the nine 11 or w what is it in other countries?

[00:32:36] There's another emergency line that they call. I forget what it is, but I would call nine one one. The reason why I would call nine 11 is because I want my request to be recorded. And I would ask for the fire and the police, I would ask them to come and evacuate me and my family. Tell them that you're under duress, that you may be forced to use, uh, to defend yourself using lethal force.

[00:32:59] Get that on a [00:33:00] recording. You may need to use that in a court of law later on. You may make sure that you are fully prepped for multiple days of being locked down. You need fire extinguishers at every entrance. You need the doors and the windows boarded up. You need, uh, multiple hiding spaces within the building.

[00:33:17] Okay. You need flashlights, water, first aid weapons, all of that. Ready to go. You need to go dark, all lights off. And I'm not saying cut the power or turn the breakers off, but you need to shut all the lights down, kids and animals. You need to keep them quiet. You don't want anything drawing your attention while this swarm of riders come through, you also need to.

[00:33:39] Come up with a plan to exit the building. If it's lit on fire, you got to think about these things. Think about what you saw on TV in 2020 of the riders, a civil unrest that was happening and the violence that was taking place and consider if that was happening to you, you need to think about your exit plan.

[00:33:58] All of this [00:34:00] is a means to an end. Okay. That being a point when you can bug out. Remember fighting is a last resort. We all want to pick up our guns or at least say we want to pick up our guns, our baseball bats, and we want to fight these people off. It does not work guys leave. The means to the end is, is being, is getting bugged out.

[00:34:20] Did I answer that quick? I didn't know. I knew the answer, the part about the kids, honestly. I don't know what to say to the kids. I don't, I can say some things from my mother's perspective on that. Yeah. Go for it. What, I think everything you said as an excellent point and use that for a basis for this next part.

[00:34:36] So for your kids, I think you should do some if then scenarios with them. If this happens, then this is what you need to do. And an example of that might be if. If someone breaks in our house and you see them attacking me, you need to run and go to this such and such neighbor. And that's just an example.

[00:34:57] So I think the important thing is whatever your [00:35:00] situation and your name, your neighborhood, and your family situation is like, you come up with those, if dens that might happen so that your children can be mentally prepared and know what to do instead of just freezing it. Oh, okay. So you're saying to the kids, if something happens.

[00:35:17] This is a safe place. Yes. Okay. Go see Mr. Jones over here. Go out the back door, go over the fence, go to the back door. Knock on Mr. Green's back door. Talk to him. They'll help you. That's one example. Or if we're in town walking and someone starts yelling at us or trying to have a confrontation with us, then you look at the ground and you just keep walking forward and you don't make eye contact.

[00:35:41] So, these are just some examples of scenarios where you can do, if then situations with your children. I've also heard from experts that if you're heading towards a situation like a riot make right turns, they say, don't go towards it and don't go away from it. Turn right and walk in a different direction.

[00:35:59] Something about the [00:36:00] mindset of the attackers, of the, of the riders they forget about you. That's interesting. I've never seen it in action, but I read about that. Okay. So our next listener reached out to us on Facebook. Her name is melody. She had a question about a financial topic, which a lot of people don't ever think about, including myself.

[00:36:15] I've never thought about what to do in this situation. Well, maybe you can help. I know bank financial we know at prepping for financing. Let me, uh, let me read a question and see if you can help. I hear about people, not using banks, but it's almost impossible to live that disconnected from technology. I do worry about not being able to get my money if and when the shit starts to hit the fan.

[00:36:37] Are there any indicators to watch for, to make that decision on when to withdraw my assets before things get too far gone? So it tells me if I'm hearing this right. Certain people are saying that they don't use banks because they don't trust them. Is that what she was saying? In the beginning, she was mentioning that some people don't use banks at all, but with today's world, it's almost impossible to be that disconnected.

[00:37:00] [00:37:00] It's completely impossible. You have to have a bank that she does worry about. Getting her money from the bank, if the shit hits the fan. So what is going to give her the signal to head to the bank and get her money out? Right. Okay. So if you're like most of us, you're probably talking about a few hundred dollars, maybe a few thousand dollars in a bank, right.

[00:37:17] That's, that's pretty much what the majority population has. I have no problem using a bank for my financial life. Not keeping your money in a bank or not using a banks services because you're a prepper. That reeks of tenfold. Hattery I'm sorry, but it does. We like to joke about it. We like to play tinfoil Hattery but that's not us.

[00:37:40] Okay. We're not, we don't wear tinfoil hats. You can use a bank. I use a bank, I hate banks. And if I didn't have to have one, I wouldn't use it. But you know what? The days of putting our money under the mattress, no, sorry. Doesn't work that way. Being a prepper does not mean not living life. I keep telling you all this all the time.

[00:37:59] I say this. [00:38:00] Do not live in fear, but what can I tell you about the pulling your assets? She used the word too far gone. It takes a really big SHTF for the banks to shut down with your money. Locked up in limbo. It does a big one thinking about the pandemic we have right now, banks are not shut down. Would you say that that would norm, uh, an a, an SHTF that big when normally be, uh, like instant or almost catch you off guard?

[00:38:27] Not something that you can see coming. Yes. But if, and when the really big event happens, there will be those people in the world that are in the know quote unquote in the know people okay. That are preparing for it. These would be like very high government officials, some of the elite, the military industrial banking complex, for sure.

[00:38:49] We'll know something big is about to happen because all their money's in it. Okay. That's really going to be the key right. There is the, is the banking complex banks have fears. They [00:39:00] do. One of those fears is the public making a run on the banks. That's how you destroy that. That's how banks go bankrupt.

[00:39:08] Okay, by making a run on the banks, taking all their money out all at the same time, that's, that's called making a run of the banks. So what I look for is hearing from my bank, let's say, on a Friday or a Thursday, they're, they're telling its customers that their systems will be down for the entire weekend.

[00:39:25] No transactions will be available for more than three days. If they've, if you hear that we're in trouble because large banks they're never closed for more than two days ever. First of all. I think it's a, I think it's a law or something. You can look it up. You can correct me, but this will be my cue for, for withdrawing all my funds that day.

[00:39:46] If I get a notice saying at three o'clock this afternoon, Thursday, the systems are going to go down and you will not have access to your money until Monday you go that afternoon, you get all your money out. I don't care if it's 200 bucks, 50 bucks or 3000 bucks or 10,000 [00:40:00] bucks, you go get all your money out.

[00:40:01] You can put all your money back in on Monday. If you want, it's not gonna hurt anything. But that will be my cue. That's my best answer for them. Right. We have another Facebook fan that sent in a question about, uh, involving his children. So I think that's one thing that we saw in 2020 was more people involving their children.

[00:40:18] So people are stuck at the house with their kids because their kids can't go to sleep. That's what it is. I think they're trying to teach them even the kids out of the kids question. Okay. Okay. So, so our day's asking, I'm thinking of introducing my twelve-year-old to his first gun, probably a 22 of some kind.

[00:40:33] Do you have any recommendations for particular firearm and how do I relate these lessons to preparedness? Okay, well, that's a question I definitely can answer because we're not talking about kids. We're talking about guns and we're talking about kids. Uh, okay. So firstly, you said, uh, he is going to be introducing his 12 year old child to his first gun.

[00:40:56] So it's a boy. Oh, he said probably a 22. [00:41:00] Okay. So this is an easy one for me, in my opinion, every child should learn to shoot if and when their parents think that they are ready for the responsibility of using a firearm. Okay. When that time comes, their first firearm should be a rifle chambered in 22 long rifle.

[00:41:17] That's it. That's what you need to know. That's their first gun. There's lots of manufacturers of 22 rifles out there. For young children between the ages of eight and 12, I would prefer a bolt action instead of a semiautomatic. This way, the child is only shooting one bullet at a time, instead of being able to just click off rounds one after another.

[00:41:39] So they're very first gun between the ages of eight and 12. There's the Ruger American compact great gun. There's the, uh, the Henry mini bolt. A Mossberg has one called a half pint. What's that cricket? There's one by somebody called a cricket. I think it's Keystone arms or [00:42:00] something like that. They make one called a cricket for kids.

[00:42:03] And then Savage arms has one. I'm not sure what it was called, but Savage arms also has one I've shot all of them, except for the Savage. They're awesome. They're not toys. Don't let the names full. You like the, the mini ball to the half pint of their cricket. They're not toys. Please remember that. Um, safety always comes first.

[00:42:21] And if I had children who are between eight and 12, when I was teaching them to shoot, I would consider you getting your child professional lessons at a local gun range. Most of the ranges all have classes geared towards children. It's really great. So what, is there anything else in that question that I was missing there relate to actual shooting lessons to prepare.

[00:42:41] Oh, okay. Well, a child's gun, which would be a 22. Rifle is great for hunting small game. They should learn how to shoot snakes with it and eat them. I mean, right. That's not where my mind is gone. We're not just going to kill snakes. We got, let me like snakes. Snakes are good. Okay. The [00:43:00] next one's going to go back to, um, Kids, who's going to make another kid kind of family oriented.

[00:43:07] There's a, um, listener up in Nebraska where it gets pretty cold asking for some cold weather advice. Nat would like some advice on staying warm her home. Um, well let me just read it. I would like advice on staying warm in my home. If the electricity were to go out, we had a bad experience when the electricity went out for only a couple of hours.

[00:43:28] Last winter hay got very cold, very quick. Because we don't have a fireplace. Everything is electric and our house is old and drafty. Obviously we all were coats, hats, and gloves, but is there a way that we can have some kind of warmth in the space when we don't have electricity? And we obviously can't have a fire.

[00:43:48] Okay. I'm wondering why somebody who lives in Nebraska is asking somebody who lives in Texas, how to stay warm. But yeah, I can answer some questions. I can answer that question, [00:44:00] seeing all knowing, and I think everybody knows that you were in New Jersey for a lot of your life. Yeah. There are a few options to get and stay warm during they set a power outage to loss of electricity, right?

[00:44:13] Yes. I would suggest acquiring one of each of these things. You need to get yourself one, a portable butane heater, the most popular one out there is Mr. Heater. I've never tried it. I haven't, I know some people that have that one. I think there's one called, uh, the buddy or the bud or something like that.

[00:44:29] The bud stir, I don't know. Something like that. A portable butane heater is fantastic. They come in different sizes, different price ranges. They're not expensive at all. I think he can even get them at, at, um, Walmart, but, uh, first of all, they're running BW team. So the fumes that can come out of these things can be dangerous.

[00:44:47] So you want to use them in, um, well, ventilated areas. They'll tell you that on the honor, but with really good about these new ones, the modern ones they have now, they have these safety, shutoff sensors. They have sensors in them that [00:45:00] sense when the oxygen is getting low. So if you had them sitting on the floor and there's some kind of, um, Fumes coming out of it and the oxygen level decreases.

[00:45:09] It shuts the machines off. That doesn't mean you want to trust that, or you want to leave them unattended, but there really are very safe. Use them in a, in a, uh, a well ventilated area and you're good to go. That's a good, that's a great option. Awesome. So the second one would be the portable power station.

[00:45:24] We've talked about this before we sell them on our website. The EcoFlow 1300, it can be charged from your home. Right from an electrical outlet and kept ready. In case you have a power outage holds, holds the charge. The 1300 can run any appliance in your home, any large appliance, including an electric heater.

[00:45:47] And then three, this is not an item, but just, and they should know this in Nebraska, but. Remember to keep lots of wool blankets. They are fireproof and they retain heat really, really well. Uh, keep emergency [00:46:00] blankets, wool blankets, uh, hand, feet, and body warmers. Keep them all within your winter preps kit.

[00:46:06] Okay, you get, you're going to have a winter prep kit. Everybody should have one in your winter prep kit. You should have wool blankets, emergency blankets. You know, that's the Mylar ones that hold the heat in, uh, hand feet, body warmers, all those types of things you want. Wool socks. Multiple layers of clothing.

[00:46:24] That makes a huge difference when you're trying to stay warm, multiple layers. Can your body makes its own heat. So trap it with layers. Oh, you remember that? What else can I say? I know mine. What's that I think you should have one dog for every child because dogs are that's right. You're right about that.

[00:46:43] All right. We have a Facebook fan named Jackie D. I liked Jackie D because Jackie is keeping it Jackie D if Facebook fan like a real Facebook fan named Jackie that's right. I want to feel prepared, but the truth is I'm typically a fly by the seat of my pants type person. What are the minimum [00:47:00] or most important preparations you can recommend for me as someone that's probably not going to dive into the fullest.

[00:47:06] See, Jackie's keeping it real. I would say that you need to start with a bug out bag. I've said it before. This is what you need to do a fully loaded three day survival pack. You can get them fully loaded online and our site. Or you can build your own building. Your own is a lot of fun. That's how we do it.

[00:47:26] That's how Rhonda and I do it by getting yourself a fully loaded three-day survival pack. It will get you way ahead of the herd. If an SHTF situation comes to colon, I believe that starting out in prepping is a lot like going to the gym. We'll just like the gym. Once you begin, it's hard to stop, but you gotta start.

[00:47:47] That's the problem. Everybody says they want to go to the gym. Everybody wants to, to get thinner and better fit I shirt and certainly do right now. But you got to get into the gym. Even if you just go into the gym for [00:48:00] five minutes, even if you just walk into the gym, put your sneakers on and get some water out of the, out of the water fountain and then leave.

[00:48:09] At least you got in there, you got to the gym and what happens is. It's easier to go the next day you'll get hooked just like in prepping. You'll get hooked. Okay. You'll begin to challenge yourself to get better and you to level up, I dare you to try and stop you won't be able to yet. So that's what I believe.

[00:48:28] I believe the best thing to do is to get yourself a bug out bag to start with. Okay. Fully loaded three-day survival pack and you'll be just fine. Okay. So this is kind of a fun question. This is one of my favorite questions that we received. Matt wrote an email. It says, I love the format of your show, especially when Ronda's there kicking it with you.

[00:48:47] So you unlock Matt. I want to know who both of your favorite fictional prepper characters are from a movie or a TV show and why? And Matt tells us his is Columbus from zombie land. [00:49:00] That's probably everyone's. I love Columbus, but she does that when he does that stretching thing. I love that. Yeah, because he has his rules paired with his rules.

[00:49:10] Columbus is a, bad-ass, uh, not a prepping movie, but prepping enough it zombies. Right. So it's kind of a prepping thing, right? Of course, pocalypse. Right. Uh, wow. So proper character from any movie, um, to come the three, come to mind. No, I don't want the third one. I'm going to give you two. Can I get, can I say two?

[00:49:37] I guess I want to say too. Um, you got, uh, Liam Neeson's character Ottawa.  I forget his name. Liam. Neeson's character in the movie, the gray. Anybody seen that one with the, yeah, I don't remember his name in the movie or Ottawa, something like that. Um, he's a guy [00:50:00] who's. But he's an outdoorsman and he's a survivalist and he's awesome.

[00:50:03] And then Chi's come on the other, one's got to be Robert Neville, Dr. Robert. Yeah. Is that will Smith in the movie? I am legend. Oh my God. I hate that movie. The best prepper survivalist movies ever. It's a zombie type movie. I get it. But watch it will Smith's character. Neville is awesome. He is 100% survivalist.

[00:50:26] John way. What's John outweigh. Oh, from Liam, Liam Neeson. Yeah. Do you just look it up? Yeah. Okay. John outweigh outweigh. He made me have that other one. The will Smith one made me have nightmares. Really? That was when I was hanging upside down. Oh God, I love his house. I was so mad when they messed up. And the, and the, uh, the zombies figured out where he lived in a, he messed up his whole house.

[00:50:51] Cause he had that thing like perfectly prepped. Yeah. And the dog that maybe just killed me. I don't wanna think about it anymore. That's mine. You got yours. What's your list too. [00:51:00] Mine is, um, Tom Hanks in Castaway. This man had no idea how to survive. He kicked ass and he went through everything a person can possibly go through.

[00:51:11] That's my favorite. All right. So are you have any more questions Sandy emailed us? Yeah, she has a question. That is actually a pretty common question because I Googled it after I read the email after they've answered 2020, I've been trying to get family on board with being more prepared and ready for these kinds of difficult circumstances.

[00:51:30] Since more than one of them really liked to argue. I thought I would ask you the question that I can't answer to their satisfaction. The question is what if I go through all this trouble and SHTF, I knew you were going to say that the old, what if I go through all this trouble and SHEF? Never. What if SHTF never happens?

[00:51:50] Yes, that is the question. Isn't it. I get this question over and over and over again for years I would get this question. What if [00:52:00] SHTF never happens? My answer is very simple guys. What if SHTF does happen? Right? What if you get a flat tire on your way to work? What if you lose your job? What if you get sick and can't work?

[00:52:14] Why have a savings account? Why start a retirement fund. Why does FEMA recommend that every household prepare for at least three days without food, water, and electricity? Why, why prepare for anything? Because we're preppers SHTF has happened as HTF will happen. We're preppers. We have to believe it's going to happen.

[00:52:37] We hope for the best, but we prepare for the worst. Right. What if I pack up this whole diaper bag and lug it around with me all day and my baby never craps. Why do that? I mean, the baby didn't crap. So you're going to carry around this trouble for nothing, man. Lots of trouble. Wouldn't you rather have it there already.

[00:52:55] We're preppers. The baby's going to crap. I'm sorry, but that's what's going to [00:53:00] happen. Okay. So that's an annoying question, but it is very, very common. Kristen telling you, I don't understand why, but it is the number one question that beginner preppers ask. All right. Well, I think we have a gamer listening to us.

[00:53:12] Oh, what a gamer? Well, I'm a gamer. You're a gamer too. Well, maybe we've been kind of slacking off in the gamer. Our X-Box isn't even connected right now. Well, this, this person's, uh, handle is electric. Dan. So I'm assuming that's related to gaming. Question is about gaming. Did you ever have a handle when you play, when your games are CTX?

[00:53:30] Merci T X. Wow. Mine was blue death. So the question. Do you have an opinion on games out there that can help train a preparedness mindset? Even if the game is not technically about preparedness, this came to mind because I realized that some of the tactical games I play in the hunting games are building a certain amount of mindfulness related to those areas.

[00:53:53] But what about the other things to be mindful about? If I'm going to unwind by playing games, I might as well try to get something out [00:54:00] of it because tiger woods golf. Isn't doing anything for me. I want a hundred percent agree. With Dan, the man Dan, who I'll let your Dan, I completely agree with you Dan, a hundred percent across the board.

[00:54:13] I do, but I have absolutely no idea how to answer you because I've done the same thing. I've looked for games that were supposedly prepper, you know, like the zombie games and the hunting games and they. They're fun. Aren't there, aren't there some kind of games where you like build your empire and you do your little compound of okay.

[00:54:36] But how does that really help? Well, it gets your mind in that mindset of, I need to do this and that and get, you know, PR uh, what do you call it? Stock. Yeah. Okay. Okay, but no, no, no, no. I get what you're saying, but you're, you're not really thinking on your own. You're just clicking, uh, choices that the game gives you.

[00:54:58] So I don't really think there's going [00:55:00] to be anything like that. I think that, um, I like puzzle games. That's what I like to play puzzle games a lot to keep my mind moving, but I'll give you an alternative. Okay. Instead of playing games, why don't you think about watching shows? Hmm. I like survivor shows like alone colony, Southern survival.

[00:55:20] Uh, you guys have all heard of survivor, man, right? The walking dead survivor, the TV show, the Island. Has any of you guys ever heard of dude? You're screwed. How about that guys in the woods? Yeah, these are a bunch of movies that I, or TV shows that I watch that are survivor related. And you can learn a ton of stuff on that.

[00:55:46] Okay. So you're sitting, you're watching the tube, probably not very good for you, but then again, either is playing games. You're sitting there playing games on the tube, right? That's true. We learned a lot from walking dead. Oh yeah. Alone. All the [00:56:00] way through all the seasons, we learned a ton of stuff off of that suffer.

[00:56:02] Many times I'd be sitting there with Ron and be like, Oh man, I never seen that before. I've never seen them do that. That's awesome. There is a phone app that I have that I like that. Um, you just made me think about when you were talking about, uh, the games that you play. So it's called right brain. And when he set it up, you, you, uh, tell it what it is you want to work on, whether it's your cognitive abilities or facial recognition or, um, Environmental awareness, what's it called?

[00:56:30] Situational awareness. And it gives you games. It gives you a little activities to play that helps build those skills for you. And they're very short little games. You can go through many different types of skills in one sitting. I like it. It's fun. Well, for me, I would much rather watch TV, but there was one more that I could not remember.

[00:56:51] And I really liked it. It was called like it was called the circle or the ring. Or is this the one where [00:57:00] the participants rotate regions? They all trade spots in a circular motion circle and it's cut into pies. And one will be like a cold region, like in Alaska. Another one would be like in a desert. And then what happens is one day, three days, five days, 17 days, the whole circle will turn and each person moves to another location without even without any warning.

[00:57:22] So they can be. You know, surviving, trying to survive in a frozen Tundra. And the next thing you know, they're in the tropics on an Island trying to survive. Well, I have an idea if anyone recognizes what the show is, get on speakpipe.com/oh. GTX and tell us that's perfect. Yeah. In fact, I'll tell you what, I'll go one step further.

[00:57:43] I got a free gift for anybody who can tell me what that show was the first person that heals that show. I'm sorry. Let me rephrase that. The first person who can get on speaker speakpipe.com/oh, GTX, right? The first person who can get on [00:58:00] that and tell us what that show is. I'm thinking about. I can't remember the name of it.

[00:58:03] We'll get a, a t-shirt. How about that? Get a t-shirt t-shirt and Firestarter how about that? And you also better put your shirt size in there too, as well. And contact information. Good on the fly, thinking over there, Rhonda. That's awesome. All right. Is that it? Or we have more, I dunno, if you want to include this last one, it's pretty personal.

[00:58:23] Okay, go ahead. So this person is anonymous, but they did say they were from the West coast as an old school prepper or a seasoned prepper. What's your greatest fear? After SHTF. Is there anything that you find yourself thinking about, or maybe just haven't quite figured out the best way to deal with it?

[00:58:39] Unfortunately, yes, there is. I do, actually I do have, my biggest fear is, and you're right. It is kind of personal you're right. My biggest fear is getting sick or immobilized or even dead and not being able to be there for my family and my friends. Because, I mean, honestly, the thought [00:59:00] of my loved ones continuing on without me there to protect them, to guide them through SHTF.

[00:59:05] I mean, that's just, that's a horrible feeling. It's hands down my biggest fear, everything else in SSG F I think that I can handle, uh, yes, I'm an old school prepper, but I'm not perfect. There's a whole lot of things I can still learn, but I still think I can handle everything else in, in SHEF. The depression would be difficult, but I think that would be difficult for anybody, but I still think I can handle it.

[00:59:28] No, my biggest fear hands down is going to be, uh, it's going to be knowing that if I pass on or if I can't help them, my loved ones will be struggling through SHEF. You know, maybe I should, maybe I should make that part of my prepping. Maybe I should prep for that. That might alleviate some of the fear I have.

[00:59:49] This just goes back to the whole purpose behind our podcast. And our website is teaching other people how to be prepared and expect, uh, [01:00:00] you know, be prepared for the unexpected so that they can take care of themselves. How many more questions that was the last question, but I really wanted to go back to the fact that 2021 is a new year.

[01:00:12] Well, we have lots of good things in store. We have a new website that's about to launch. That's going to be focused on the podcast. You'll be able to find every episode there. Do you have a countdown page for that new website yet? I have not activated the countdown page, but I will make point to do that.

[01:00:27] Okay, cool. So maybe on our next podcast, we'll be able to next week's podcast. We'll be able to let everybody know. What the URL is and they can go to it and check out the countdown and, you know, sign up. Yeah. Yes. And so we've, we mentioned speak pipe. That's just one of the new tools that we have that we're going to put on the new page.

[01:00:43] We also have the balmy, a coffee and a Patrion, and some other things to share with you as well as some affiliates. Uh, so really excited about all that and really want to encourage everyone to click that heart, subscribe to our podcast player.

We're also working on some new social pages like discord and Pinterest and LinkedIn. I want to give a shout out to Lindsay for helping us with our social media girl, Lindsay, she rocks also wanted to give a shout out to some people that have left us feedback on Apple podcasts.

Yeah, we can, we can, I would not use any last names or email addresses, nothing like that on, well, the way this is going to work, we don't have a way to reach people from the Apple podcast. We're going to give a shout out and tell you to contact us.
