second yeah yeah here let's let's just
do that we'll do this thing here
(00:49):
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
(01:14):
are you okay now it feels like it's
official yeah we're bumping we were it
was a very odd
it's been a couple of weeks since we
since we've been together
we're a little rusty here's the best
part though is we got a little rusty on
that part but the video quality and the
sound quality everything we have
elevated that well I I was telling you
(01:34):
off when we were backstage I went
through a different lighting and
wardrobe process and so it's looking
super clear it's the same camera though
but I just have the I change the focus I
changed a few things around so yeah I
feel like maybe you you talk to like
Canadian prepper and some of that yeah
those guys you borrowed their makeup you
know their their Diva squad or Glam
Squad or we have a full staff there's
(01:55):
like 100 people there is there's so many
people over there
and I even connected I saw that now with
the streaming software with restream
we're able to to stream on Facebook on
Twitch so I hooked that up too so maybe
we'll get it yeah I won't even I don't
even charge
it so I think we should be live on uh
(02:18):
twitch and on Facebook and yeah I see
there's somebody there Jeremy is is from
Jeremy yeah welcome Jeremy yeah exactly
what's that from Pacific Northwest
I think but yeah my my Facebook is I I
don't have a personal Facebook I got rid
of it like in 2011 but uh my mom is
technically the the urban prepper on
(02:38):
Facebook so she she runs the whole
operation there too oh it's
it's revealed yes revealed I'm prep talk
live so then she'll give me a call hey
someone sent you a message on Facebook I
don't know
be like who is this Casey and why does
he want to start a stream with you or
whatever he looks creepy stay yeah
okay so speaking of creepy by the way
(02:59):
I'm Casey with Cascadia dispatch welcome
to episode 59 of prep talk live uh with
me as always is tough the urban prepper
and that's kind of you're doing but um I
wanna don't want to lose my thought so
um we found this thing on tick tock
speaking of creeping yeah it is now a
family favorite at our house which gives
(03:21):
you some idea of what you're dealing
with up here uh it's this guy who does
voiceovers of animals and so they're
like nature videos but he does like a
voiceover yeah and he was doing uh like
a voiceover of this Condor and he calls
himself creepy Dave he like the Condor
creepy Dave and the Condor is just kind
(03:42):
of like moving around like and so it's
it works really really well so now he
has this animal show that he does on a
tick tock called creepy Dave's animal
show it is fantastic
um maybe not necessarily for the kids uh
it definitely pushes the PG-13 uh rating
I would say
um but since you mentioned creepy the
(04:03):
only thing that pops in my mind now is
creepy days uh yeah best best animal uh
on today's show uh I haven't I don't
follow that one on tick tock tick tock
keeps feeding me all these uh
Dermatology things and other oh my God
the seats oh my gosh hold on okay hold
on you know what here's what I've got
(04:24):
let me fix my collar I'm glad that we
got like the nice cameras and the nice
audio and everything so that when
Sutton's age was here yeah we were at
our best yes I hope she didn't see the
beginning where we just totally screwed
up our own intro and everything else
because that was that was a disaster
okay yeah all right let's get our game
face on but yeah speaking of creepy Dave
yeah I keep watching all the turtles
(04:45):
ones where they take the Barnacles off
the turtles if for some reason Tick-Tock
thinks I I like those and I do so
the algorithm is so so amazingly
accurate yeah it is remarkable
um have you been have you some Wrangler
star on Tick Tock has become a major
that's like that's that's his thing he
(05:06):
is everywhere on the professional
homeowner the Provo
we've known Wrangler star for for years
through of course you have of course
look we know you
of prepping
a ball of something that's awesome and
those of us newbies over here just just
(05:27):
hoping to get in the general admission
section well no I I meant in general us
YouTubers like no I've known uh the
preparedness Community I've known of
Wrangler star for years but uh like on
Tick Tock it's like this is new uh
Uncharted territories and he's like I
don't know the ones that I've watched at
least it's like uh your Anarchy kind of
101 kit type stuff like
(05:50):
here's how to disable a robotic dog that
comes at you not that I'm saying for you
to do that it's like here's how to avoid
facial recognition and
act accordingly yeah but he said
something I'm saying to do that but it's
like yeah I would hate for this to
happen to some sort of a device or a
(06:12):
vehicle or something but this would just
be awful if that happened I'm like all
sorts of stuff like that yours had a uh
here's how to make spikes for uh the
road if you just like pop some tires of
someone not that I want you to do that
or not and it's just blowing up all
these guys are like this guy's like
given guerrilla warfare tips
(06:33):
he's like the forest rager and it's like
I mean all of his YouTube stuff was very
much like how to like like chainsaw
maintenance yeah it was all about acts
and stuff yeah he was so mild-mannered
on YouTuber it's all like you know
here's how to sharpen this ax and yeah
family values and stuff and now it's
just guerrilla warfare tactics yeah
(06:54):
exactly it's like he's the most popular
prep or Tick Tock as far as I know but
uh and he's and he's like he always
especially lately like his most recent
ones he's always talking about like if
you're the unfortunate unfortunate uh
son of a single mom or something like
that and I'm like I can't tell if you're
(07:14):
trying to use sarcasm there or if like
you're like I don't know what's going on
and then he'll just go off on to like
how to sharpen an ax or how to like put
water he was putting powder in a Roomba
yesterday and I was like what is this
even talking about at this point I
didn't I didn't see that one but yeah
that's that's not the Wrangler star I
(07:36):
know the one I know is so nice but now
it's uh and he always used to be like
he'd wear like Flanders he'd look like a
lover now he's wearing like a button-up
denim shirt with like a neckerchief he
looks like like he's ready to be in like
a country band or I don't know what's
going on but uh he's he's gotten big
time I mean he already was big time but
he's a big time but he's kind of
(07:56):
rebranded he's kind of I think a lot of
folks do that like uh they Maybe
I can't tell if it's just like he's
working the algorithms type thing or
whatever oh good to see Sonny good to
see you yeah sure yeah yeah but yeah
everybody's in here pigs fly is in here
pigs fly is dual is dual streaming
because she's on your channel and on my
(08:18):
channel yeah which which we have it's
kind of it's kind of like an Inception

love that for our algorithm I still
always get nervous when something stays
is on but that's yeah yeah you're gonna
try to play I'll play it cool Chuck is

all of the usual suspects are here
um
(08:39):
so yeah so um so anyway so it's
summertime it's today is the first
official day of summer it's like yeah
and I'm wearing my Han Solo thermal uh
thermal vest I was like we could not be
wearing more black heavy winter wear
well we watched we watched the Wrangler
star tick tocks and now we're kind of
going full-on gorilla Warfare for art
(08:59):
videos too
oh gosh the one about that the one that
was the wood splitter one that went
viral like that became a tone it was
like introducing so many people in Tick
Tock to the prepper world uh I always
worry
like we've come a long way since
Doomsday Preppers but I think we're back
now exactly there's definitely back and
(09:22):
like an hour on these everyone has short
attention spans so 15 second clips of
like uh all sorts of stuff but yeah
Meanwhile we're talking we're uh we're
all smiles here so exactly we're the
happy Peppers uh we're back at all of
those sorts of fun things
um so yeah so I threw out the summer
time yeah summertime it's not summertime
(09:45):
um because I was thinking it is that it
is officially happens to be the first
day of summer and it's the longest day
of summer and as we think about both I
would say summer preps so what are those
things that that we always want to think
about when we're preparing for summer
and all that sort of stuff but also like
you know our kids are home for the
summer I think your kids are close to
(10:07):
being home for the summer if they aren't
already already they're home they're
home you know there's kind of that like
uh you know what do you do with your
kids when you're home like there's camps
and all that sort of stuff but it's also
an opportunity to do some other things
um you know prepping wise
um and so we have my wife is in charge
(10:27):
of summers at our house
um we've had the 80s summer
um where the kids were basically they
had no TV or screens or anything at all
and they just had to go play outside
um we it's called the 80s summer yeah
she called it the 80s Summer She was
like we're not watching shows or
anything out you're outside front yard
so like the Gen X summer exactly
(10:50):
you can control them in the neighborhood
exactly but we're not we're not doing
video games we're not doing that
um and this year she has decided that
it's our summer of skills and so we had
the kids actually like make a little
list of the life skills that they wanted
to learn this summer
um and then we had our own list of of
(11:12):
ideas and kind of brought it together
and so we're kind of running through
that so
um so I figured I'd throw it out to you
you want to talk about like summer preps
like heat and hot and that sort of stuff
you want to talk about more like summer
vacation preps
um do we want to break this up into a
series maybe oh well I I uh I think all
(11:33):
those are good ideas I know for yeah
nowadays like what I'm trying I'm trying
to prep for winter but uh yeah prepping
for winter we're in the midst of it now
so um on the summer stuff uh we have
some summer vacations coming up yeah
hopefully people like I think like in
January through March is when you start
getting all your summer preps together
but I don't I don't know if I have a
(11:53):
whole bunch of seasonal type uh serious
modifications in the summertime it's
more of like for vacation type stuff
winter is the one I'm always worried
about because at least in our if I was
in Arizona I think my summer preps would
uh it'd be different because of uh the
extreme heat but we live in the Pacific
Northwest so it's not like it gets too
hot over here uh so I I'm actually
(12:14):
trying to think of reaction if we do any
kind of real serious like alterations to
preps like winter time that's when the
de-icers and all that stuff comes into
play and like uh stuff for warmth and
stuff uh
but yeah I don't I don't know if I I
think you should probably uh like be six
months ahead of the the game so if
you're prepping for summer uh you're
already in summer that's kind of like a
prepping for uh uh you know when I don't
(12:36):
know there's all sorts of emergencies
have like a lot of people when like the
wildfires and stuff happen then they
start prepping for the wildfires and
it's like yeah you're in the Wildfire so
just to be clear everyone when you
decide to have a a live podcast with a
famous YouTuber it's always good to
throw out an idea two hours ahead of
time and then have him absolutely throw
it in a dumpster in front of everyone
(12:59):
you want to stream tonight hey maybe
come over there yeah hey okay you got it
oh yeah I always like I was like why are
you even on the air why do I do this
with you you know why I do this
I know I always like I always like to
Freestyle and stuff and
yeah I don't think the other time well
yeah we're in the pr we're in we're in
summer though uh I don't know but I'm
(13:20):
trying to think like what are some
summer preps that like you might want to
change yeah I think especially if you're
in Arizona or something you know like
like getting the you know firewood and
all that sort of stuff you would use
like in the winter time I think you can
also do a little bit in the summer
because you might do like
uh fire pits and that sort of stuff
where okay now's a good time to maybe
order it and plan ahead for that sort of
(13:41):
thing and you can use it now but I'm
thinking about like minor things like we
usually add extra sunscreen like to all
the cars and all the bags just because
it's a thing that now is a little bit
more needed than for example in the
winter time
um I those of us who
um are follicly or have gone with a
different style that's what we've gone
(14:02):
with we've gone with a different style
yeah
um like I have like a some hat a sun hat
thing that I keep
I don't keep it with me which is a
problem and so one of my preps is
actually trying to find it in the house
and make sure that it's now at the front
door so I have it with me as opposed to
when I don't have it you know and and I
(14:23):
don't care about it in the winter time
or whatever
um so I think there's some of that sort
of stuff there's
um you know cycling water in your car I
think everybody probably can't water in
their car but just making sure that you
have like cold water or that you have
extra water in case you get stuck uh you
know on the freeway what kind of water
do you have in your car because I was
(14:44):
just uh I just removed water Yeah well
yeah yeah do you go bottle do you go the
water cans do you do box water yeah ouch
you do the Lifeguard the survival uh
life Lifeboat if I if I wanted to do it
yeah if I wanted to do it like the best
it would probably be like like the jar
water is great
(15:05):
um or box water or something like that
um we do like the case of water from
Costco
um which is you know not great because
it's in plastic bottles and it's going
to be in a car that's hot and everything
else but we don't leave it in there for
years at a time and if it's super hot
like we probably aren't going to drink
it right away anyway
um because it's gonna be too hot
um but I'd rather have some water that
(15:28):
was sitting in a bottle that may have a
little bit of a chemical in it at that
moment you know than to not have any
water at all and really wish that we we
had it
um so yeah so we we usually do that we
also do like water bottles like the kids
we all have our our uh metal
um water bottles
um and so if we're going anywhere we'll
(15:49):
try and fill those up in advance and
make sure we've got ice and everything
in there
um the pouches I think are good
um but they don't have a lot of water in
them so I think they're great for like
if you wanted them in a backpack for
like a bug out scenario or something
like that and you just want enough to
make sure you can cook or whatever
um and you don't want to have the bulk
(16:10):
of a bottle in your bag I think the
pouches make a lot of sense
um but for you know
every day uh I don't want to have to
worry about com continually restocking
so you get the case from Costco it's the
only water that we buy from Costco
um because Costco doesn't have big
(16:31):
jugs of water or anything working on the
Costco sponsorship so yeah noticing that
so Costco uh we yeah at Costco we'd love
to buy more water from you if you win if
you would do that
um but they you know we just get the
cases of water there
um I'm not too particular about it I
don't think yeah my mom rocks the the
(16:51):
Costco uh case of water and then the
back but for years now I've been doing
the glass bottles just because I think
they taste they uh but we don't have
extreme freezing temperatures here where
we're at so I don't have to worry about
them cracking but uh they taste great
even after they've been there for you a
little bit the only thing I worry about
with them is that I don't worry about
them breaking but I do worry about if I
(17:12):
was in some car accident or something a
glass water bottle flying out at me so I
need to put a little projectile yeah
it's like and they're heavy but uh I'm
trying to but I find that those work the
best for me because uh I I just I don't
know I don't like when the when the
water's been in the plastic bottles for
a while they just I know they taste a
little yeah but but if I was uh if it
(17:32):
was emergency I wouldn't care what it
tasted like so yeah exactly and that's I
think the thing is is if it's everything
tastes better in glass that's true
fattest days you are correct
um like a soda soda tastes better in
glass beers takes better well do well
draft is better but uh uh yeah I think
yeah
um the uh oh prepper water Koozies now
she's on a merch you're gonna get us
(17:54):
talking about merch ideas now like with
the waterproof water Koozies come with a
tiny any like
instead of like a bottle opener would it
be like a little ax shaped bottle opener
like for prepping or something would it
be a multi-tool bottle opener does it
have a koozie pocket for our little
leathermans to go in
(18:14):
I mean I have I have no well actually I
have a little go bag in there too so I
guess I have filtration but yeah I like
having the individual water things that
I think I have a few pouches where the
spare tire is I think I have a few just
for absolute emergencies type stuff but
uh yeah the other thing is too that we
got um we got like a big like big black
fleece blankets
um I think I got them from Ikea a while
(18:35):
ago
um and they're like they're not fancy or
anything they were cheap and they're
just big blankets yeah um and so we keep
those in the back of our cars as well
and so when we have the water in there
we usually take the blanket and put it
over so it's not getting as much direct
sun and it kind of insulates it a little
bit
um I don't know if there's any science
to it making anything better but it
(18:57):
makes me and my wife it makes us feel
better so I think it probably does a
little something and I and I I also like
having those blankets there because uh
if you if you have something in the back
you could cover it up so it's not as
visible for bad guys and stuff but uh
yeah they're out there too bad guys uh
bad guys are out in the summertime more
than the winter time I find yes yes I
(19:17):
actually just got my I just got the
camera I've got one of the those dash
cams uh for your car but mine also has
an internal camera and then it's got an
auto on so if there's motion around the
car it will automatically turn on and
start recording uh it won't wait until
the car is on or anything like that yeah
yeah we I need to upgrade on that thanks
(19:39):
for the reminder it'll go on my Amazon
list for sure you're welcome I I
repositioned some of my I don't know if
it's summer specific but so I have on
the one nerd that has a personal
flotation device type stuff in the car
because I'm worried of floods uh so I
did some floatation in the car in order
for the flood thing happen in your car
(20:01):
you would have to be in the body of
water
well
are you worried that you're going to be
in the body of water I'm worried about
like what if there's like a tsunami or
if there's flooding like in Washington
that's like the number one emergency is
is floods like yeah flooding really yeah
it's not fire it's not earthquake it's
not volcanoes it's flooding and so I'm
(20:23):
just always worried about I don't I
don't know I'm not always worried but I
have like the rescue Mees on all the
windows and all the cars that I have I
have so I have these life like if I had
to I could swim pretty well well but my
daughter can't and so so I just have
let's have those and I kind of
repositioned where those are at but I
don't I don't think that's a seasonal
prep that I'm doing all right so I will
say
(20:43):
I was going to give you a lot of a hard
time about that one okay
um still gonna give you a little bit of
a hard time because the rescue me is
like I watched this one guy do this
video where he took his kid out and they
bought like
the glass out of a car door and then
like they brought it back to their house
and then smashed it with the rescue me
so that we could see it
(21:03):
um I think he's doing okay on YouTube
he's he's doing fine okay um yeah it was
your video oh yeah I was like man that
sounds familiar with that oh that sounds
familiar gosh that's a great idea yeah
you did it like five years ago and I
bought like 30 rescue moves so anyway
um the uh the little flotation devices
that are not like cushions but they
(21:23):
they're the ones that have this yeah
because those you could actually pack in
a like you get back under a seat or
something
um I I don't hate that idea
how much they cost them they're
expensive that's the thing and then you
have to recharge you have to remember
about recharging so that's why I went
with the yeah the big bulky things but
(21:44):
and I used the bulky things for uh uh
like knee pads like if you're changing
your tire or something they're dual
purpose or oh okay that you're doing
under the car so I kind of like it for
that because it's a dual purpose but and
they're cheaper but those flotation
those little ones are those compact ones
are nice I just worry about my kids
mainly yeah for for that but again I
don't think that's a Summer Prep I think
that's just I just I always have that in
(22:05):
the car but that's just an in general
why something station not going to the
car with me what's going on let's we uh
sentence days you're welcome in the in
the in the top mobile
what bottle of water together we
've logo on the side of your car now
that is that's the thing
I also need to be awesome about green
(22:27):
man that's not great we need a
flashlight with just the the silhouette
of the top logo the top signal
that's funny that is fantastic
um yeah I was I was keeping an eye on
whatever people were talking there's a
lot happening in the chat right now when
we go away for like a week and a half
(22:49):
and then come back on our actual night
like holy cow on the real night yeah I I
work from home today so it worked out
well because my wife's not feeling well
but uh yeah so I'm talking about rocket
stoves and yeah she's
I I don't know I never get sick but my
wife catches all the you know gets to go
yeah we had that last week my daughter
got sick and then my wife got sick and
(23:09):
then my son wasn't sure if he was sick
or not yeah and I as a as a University
of Oregon Duck fan you are not so you
will not understand this joke but anyone
who is uh when you go to the football
game at Austin Stadium at the beginning
of the game when they're talking about
everything else they always say and it
never rains at autism stadium and
everyone in the crowd cheers
(23:31):
um I've been there a couple of times
where it actually has downpoured like
it's Oregon and like water was sheeting
off of the stairs and everything else
and they'll come on and they'll be like
it never rains at Austin Stadium but the
forecast today is for liquid Sunshine
um it's a it's a variation yeah yeah
exactly so yeah it's just it's I I don't
(23:52):
get sick it's not a thing that happens
occasionally I am not fully healthy but
I am I it might be 70 yeah no I I don't
know I got a award in school when I uh
senior year I didn't miss one day of
school all through Elementary all
through Junior High all through high
school like so uh
I don't know I don't get sick that often
(24:13):
I'll get a big sick every once in a
while like cancer or something but I'll
that's what what happens with me like

scares like that that require major
surgery wow I don't get uh it's all or
nothing with you it's all or nothing
it's it's go big or or don't go home I
guess I don't know what also the vehicle
(24:35):
press one of the things that came in
here I don't know why I'm sharing this
but uh the the travel John came in handy
the other day because I had to go the
number one and uh and I didn't have a
place to go it would have been number
two it would have been a very different
oh that would have been uh
uh crappy situation
thanks for I can't understand how you
(24:59):
would want to leave right now I can't
understand okay we started going towards
the potty type talk eventually you know
what we can advertise now we can listen
to times we can relax a little bit Yeah
have a wonderful night yeah
oh yeah my wife has been this uh not
feeling well she uh and so she uh the
the barf bags we have some those those
(25:20):
uh um
yeah once I get the hospital
but that's not again that's not a
summertime prep uh let's go back to I'm
going to try to go back to topic so yeah
it's okay we don't really I mean topics
are are just kind of um
your Father's Day
oh yeah that's right uh it was pretty
(25:40):
good last year I was so mad because all
I wanted for Father's Day was to sleep
in and said don't no one wake me up no
matter what just just leave me alone for
I want to sleep in and then like at 7 00
a.m like the the neighbors had some weed
whackers going because they hired a lawn
crew I'm like and it woke me up I'm like
dude what are you doing but this year I
(26:02):
still woke up early but we had a nice uh
my mom came over we're uh I get my
height from my Swedish side and so she
uh she came over and made Swedish
pancakes and bacon for did she only
serve them on high shelves
uh no and we we had some we've been
having oven all of our appliances seem
to be going out at the same time and so
(26:22):
we had to to make we but I like baking
the oven now uh the baking not baking
the baking the bacon now and so we had
to improvise and use the barbecue for
the bacon I've never barbecued bacon
before but I did on Sunday for for the
Swedish pancakes but that was I'm a
friend who does uh he does uh pork belly
(26:43):
burnt ends with his smoker and like yeah
puts like uh brown sugar glaze on them
and the whole thing so it's like bacon
and barbecue it's fantastic yeah well I
mean we I did it in a baking sheet and
then I have like the vented thing so the
fat kind of drips off and they bake
pretty evenly and yeah but that's that's
(27:05):
what we did for Father's Day and I
forget what else I did just kind of
low-key for the most part very good very
good because I forgot
um we did uh we went to dinner
um I don't know if you saw the paperwork
we crossed the Oregon Washington border
because my favorite Mexican restaurant
is hilarious right in Vancouver uh so we
had to go there for enchiladas and their
(27:27):
salsa which I absolutely can't get
enough of uh we came back with a quart
of it uh because it's like a 45 minute
drive out there so I was like I want it
for the rest of the week
um my the kids did a scavenger hunt uh
for me in the morning uh all around the
house uh nice and then my the the
(27:48):
present that they got me
um is still in route so when it gets
here I will I will show it off but I had
purchased for myself yeah
um I got the Lego Pac-Man
uh I think uh did you see it no you seen
it oh my goodness okay well I meant to
put it's gonna go right here Optimus
Prime is gonna leave and it bumps out
(28:10):
Optimus Prime yeah yep it does uh my
son's Gonna Wanna because he's uh he
looks up to your Lego collection yeah
it's an arcade it looks like a little
arcade cabinet but it's Technic and
everything and so when you turn the
crank on the side it actually runs
Pac-Man and the ghosts around the Maze
(28:31):
and there's like a cherry that's there
and all it is
fantastic uh so you bought yourself a
Father's Day present yeah yeah yeah yeah
so I I bought I actually bought it like
a couple weeks ago yeah but uh my wife
was like so what do you want to do and I
was like well we want to go see Indiana
Jones in like a week and I have never
seen the Indiana Jones movies and the
(28:53):
kids hadn't so we did an Indiana Jones
movie marathon and uh built Legos we
just we just watched a couple Indiana
Jones too but we don't uh we don't watch
the new ones it's just the original
trilogy is what we yeah yeah uh and I
don't know if you saw the Crystal Skull
and I thought it was horrible yeah we
want we watched them all because we
didn't like I don't know I was like I I
(29:15):
don't know what I I know about this
Indiana Jones I've seen scenes but like
I've never actually sat and watched an
entire one
um so we watched all of them and then uh
I think the goal is my wife really likes
Indiana Jones so we're gonna go see the
new Indiana Jones and theater so we were
getting the kids all right
um and then I saw that that Sutton's
(29:36):
days had mentioned after like how our
Gardens were yeah I was gonna get to
that but then she split because oh yeah
so uh I went and got more starts
um to go and kind of fill out more of a
garden so we're gonna try some peppers I
had another gardening friend who was
like you should try cauliflower you
should try Peppers I'm like okay fine
um I'm trying the nasturtiums in the
(29:57):
Marigolds in the beds to see if that
helps with bugs we're doing all kinds of
like little uh little tested experiments
it sounds awesome but yeah how about you
how's your garden doing uh my wife is
taking over the operation fully and uh
yeah I had to put on Father's Day I had
to put deer fencing up because the deer
are obliterating our everything roses
(30:19):
strawberries uh blueberries they're
they're just eating all of it so uh were
they sent by your neighbor
I know
no are the evil deer with ladies or
beams attached to their heads yeah
they're just addicted to roses I guess I
didn't know that a bit deer but by the
way we could we could start over the
string because uh Pony girl has arrived
(30:39):
so Pony girls arrived yeah it was a
little late a little late but all right
well yeah yeah exactly yeah not Optimus
isn't going far Optimus will probably go
the problem is this shelf is a weird
shape so Optimus may go down here I may
put them in truck form or something I'm
gonna they'll still be there and then
(30:59):
Pac-Man will go up there yeah but uh
yeah this is urban Preppers working on
now she has Carolina Reapers and so
she's growing those on the side and so
uh that's I'm yeah those are those ones
are gonna be hot but yeah yeah that's
all going uh pretty pretty good
according to plan for sure so I was
gonna see something else right I often
have a war on bugs Pony girl and
(31:20):
oftentimes they are outside yeah yeah oh
we were watching it I was uh with the
kids it's like oh we should watch a nice
family show like Indiana Jones so we've
put on Indiana Jones within the first
scene like there's like uh some guy gets
impaled by spikes
it gets shot it was like oh my gosh
(31:40):
what's going on here like wait a minute
this is not how I remember this oh wait
I was looking at this from 1980s eyes
and not uh so my daughter it was like
wow what's going on
too scary and then like on the first one
like she was all I forgot she all liked
the monkey that was on that one and the
(32:01):
monkey ate the poison date and died like
oh yeah and that was like really like
what
I tell the 80s roll we yeah it was edgy
back then yeah you got edgy yeah a
little edgy so yeah all right well I
think you have piano lessons yeah uh
yeah a little bit uh oh okay again I
(32:23):
gotta I have to leave at six so I uh
it's 5 56 so we got like three ladies
and gentlemen this is what it's like
working with with uh star power here
the kids take piano lessons and uh it's
Norm I have been working at the office
and so on Wednesdays but because uh
people were sick I worked from home
everything worked out this this is what
(32:45):
it should be like I think this is yeah
this works out Wednesday is our home but
now it is next week I'll be uh probably
remote again so the camera is going to
look horrible but that's all right
that's all right we'll do like the
special occasions and I think or we
could pre-film it and we could just have
the rerun play we could like an actual
podcast where they do like that
(33:06):
podcast which is kind of fun but we
could do like a record we can try to do
a recorded one
um I don't think I might do like my my
stream like on the on the weeks that you
are where and we do our stream on Friday
I would do my stream on Wednesday and
then when we do our stream on Wednesday
then I'll do my stream on
(33:26):
this is totally random it's not proper
related well I don't know maybe most of
our stream isn't so I don't think that's
right
have you ever seen the starlink uh
satellite trains
or have you heard of those trains yes
okay so okay so I'm not allowed so okay
Tuesday I'm coming back from something
I'm with a friend of mine and we look
(33:48):
out I it's like 11 30 at night I look up
in the sky and I see these lights in a
perfect series of perfect row there's 30
or 40 of them traveling across the the
upper atmosphere and I'm like what the
heck is that I'm like do you see that
and and he's like what is that and I'm
like oh and uh for me the prepper I'm
like oh my gosh we're it's UFO invasion
(34:10):
is happening the invasion's happening or
like we're going to like there's like
those are like battleships or something
like uh yeah we're we're at War and I'm
like but I thought oh man this these are
aliens they're aliens are attacking us
right now and so then I left on my hands
nice nice knowing yeah
I'm gonna immediately go on Twitter to
search like this and everyone was
(34:31):
there's people were also people were
posting about it but then I found out
that they were starlink satellite trains
that like uh I which I've never seen
before but there's up in the atmosphere
and they're in a perfect line so if you
ever see that you have no fear it's not
aliens attacking them
Elon who might be an alien yeah exactly
(34:51):
but uh there's part of me that's super
jealous about people who get to have
starlink internet because I kind of love
the idea of having satellite internet
especially like with the speeds and
stuff that they've got going on there
but I can't justify I can't justify
having
starlink and uh fiber and satellite
(35:13):
still isn't as good as fiber and so it's
kind of like I can't justify this I'm
gonna see if I can get a quick photo for
you just so you can kind of see but I
was so scared what are you taking a
photo of you look like you're like like
it's
just like a PG PG-13 is this an R rated
photo what's happening no it's just the
starlink uh all right what it looks like
(35:34):
so let me see if I can get it off camera
but it looked like
I don't know if you can even see that
like a line like that yeah wait you
can't see that yeah you need to you need
to expand it and then bring it right up
to the camera
that's not gonna work if we have like a
better show like we would have like I'd
have the I know how do we bring it up
(35:54):
yeah
you'd have our assistant bring it up
there but yeah yeah we'll have to work
on that anyway so so uh no they weren't
aliens okay well I mean it seems like
that was
interesting and yet slightly
disappointing that you weren't uh
pulled to probe or something like well I
thought
okay I I didn't know if it was bug out
(36:15):
bag time or not but for a moment it was
a little moment
if the aliens are coming I don't think
there's anywhere you can go that's true
like like they would they'll find you
okay yeah exactly they have the ability
to go other places I was drinking the
same the stevia that you're drinking or
the the zvia I've just drinking the same
one just the creamy root beer yeah right
(36:37):
before I got it I think we're kind of
we're kind of linked in with each other
we have a Starlight connection Portland
to Seattle so we do we do uh and we're
I'm finalizing I was finalizing some of
our uh plans for uh July yeah have your
people talk to my people because I'm
going to be down to Oregon for uh what
we'll yeah we'll we'll work that out but
(36:58):
I'll be there earlier July for a
vacation and then I'll be back okay all
right yeah
yeah all right all right we'll end it on
all of our future plans uh I think now
now that we've had some more some more
chatting
um stay tuned uh next week we will do
some sort of a stream it might be
Wednesday it might be Friday uh we're
(37:19):
not sure yet but we'll figure it out
um keep an eye out all your
notifications on because anybody who got
the notification two hours before we got
online that we were gonna do this you
never know with us you never know and
now we're also on Facebook on Twitch
which is cool exactly we're on Facebook
we're on Twitch we're on Twitter do you
have a Twitter you have a Twitter oh can
you hook up Twitter yeah you can do live
(37:40):
streaming on Twitter now
gotta step up my game yeah exactly we
can connect that one you can connect all
of the things well we had a rough start
to the stream but I think we got it back
we got back on exactly and since days
came so that was good we had the our
usual we got the Kinks worked out and
one girl came and everything kind of
worked out from there exactly Chuck was
here big spot we had all the all the
(38:02):
usual suspects it felt like home again
it felt like home again and now
um no you know we'll see what happens
next week I'm gonna hop off flying I
gotta watch some Wrangler star guerrilla
warfare videos on Tick Tock and just
cause some trouble we need to see where
you get regular stuff I think one of the
things we should start thinking about
you and I is is that the whole guest
(38:23):
idea I think if like he's got a big time
yeah like could we get regular star to
come on to our podcast can we get no
like we sh I don't know Nate and and
could we get uh gotta go through their
legal teams I know there's a lot of
things you know we'll start the process
2026 you know season eight of prep talk
live maybe we'll we'll be we'll at least
(38:44):
get something's on again for sure oh
well yeah of course we have to do the
whole game show thing we have with her

exactly what was going on and we were
very well behaved
all right everybody on that note I'm
going to go to piano lessons but I hope
you have a good time good evening have a
great night everybody and we'll talk to
you soon
you know what it's just been one of
those and it's been a couple of weeks
since we've done one of these should we
do it again should we like oh yeah for a
second yeah yeah here let's let's just
do that we'll do this thing here
(00:49):
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
(01:14):
are you okay now it feels like it's
official yeah we're bumping we were it
was a very odd
it's been a couple of weeks since we
since we've been together
we're a little rusty here's the best
part though is we got a little rusty on
that part but the video quality and the
sound quality everything we have
elevated that well I I was telling you
(01:34):
off when we were backstage I went
through a different lighting and
wardrobe process and so it's looking
super clear it's the same camera though
but I just have the I change the focus I
changed a few things around so yeah I
feel like maybe you you talk to like
Canadian prepper and some of that yeah
those guys you borrowed their makeup you
know their their Diva squad or Glam
Squad or we have a full staff there's
(01:55):
like 100 people there is there's so many
people over there
and I even connected I saw that now with
the streaming software with restream
we're able to to stream on Facebook on
Twitch so I hooked that up too so maybe
we'll get it yeah I won't even I don't
even charge
it so I think we should be live on uh
(02:18):
twitch and on Facebook and yeah I see
there's somebody there Jeremy is is from
Jeremy yeah welcome Jeremy yeah exactly
what's that from Pacific Northwest
I think but yeah my my Facebook is I I
don't have a personal Facebook I got rid
of it like in 2011 but uh my mom is
technically the the urban prepper on
(02:38):
Facebook so she she runs the whole
operation there too oh it's
it's revealed yes revealed I'm prep talk
live so then she'll give me a call hey
someone sent you a message on Facebook I
don't know
be like who is this Casey and why does
he want to start a stream with you or
whatever he looks creepy stay yeah
okay so speaking of creepy by the way
(02:59):
I'm Casey with Cascadia dispatch welcome
to episode 59 of prep talk live uh with
me as always is tough the urban prepper
and that's kind of you're doing but um I
wanna don't want to lose my thought so
um we found this thing on tick tock
speaking of creeping yeah it is now a
family favorite at our house which gives
(03:21):
you some idea of what you're dealing
with up here uh it's this guy who does
voiceovers of animals and so they're
like nature videos but he does like a
voiceover yeah and he was doing uh like
a voiceover of this Condor and he calls
himself creepy Dave he like the Condor
creepy Dave and the Condor is just kind
(03:42):
of like moving around like and so it's
it works really really well so now he
has this animal show that he does on a
tick tock called creepy Dave's animal
show it is fantastic
um maybe not necessarily for the kids uh
it definitely pushes the PG-13 uh rating
I would say
um but since you mentioned creepy the
(04:03):
only thing that pops in my mind now is
creepy days uh yeah best best animal uh
on today's show uh I haven't I don't
follow that one on tick tock tick tock
keeps feeding me all these uh
Dermatology things and other oh my God
the seats oh my gosh hold on okay hold
on you know what here's what I've got
(04:24):
let me fix my collar I'm glad that we
got like the nice cameras and the nice
audio and everything so that when
Sutton's age was here yeah we were at
our best yes I hope she didn't see the
beginning where we just totally screwed
up our own intro and everything else
because that was that was a disaster
okay yeah all right let's get our game
face on but yeah speaking of creepy Dave
yeah I keep watching all the turtles
(04:45):
ones where they take the Barnacles off
the turtles if for some reason Tick-Tock
thinks I I like those and I do so
the algorithm is so so amazingly
accurate yeah it is remarkable
um have you been have you some Wrangler
star on Tick Tock has become a major
that's like that's that's his thing he
(05:06):
is everywhere on the professional
homeowner the Provo
we've known Wrangler star for for years
through of course you have of course
look we know you
of prepping
a ball of something that's awesome and
those of us newbies over here just just
(05:27):
hoping to get in the general admission
section well no I I meant in general us
YouTubers like no I've known uh the
preparedness Community I've known of
Wrangler star for years but uh like on
Tick Tock it's like this is new uh
Uncharted territories and he's like I
don't know the ones that I've watched at
least it's like uh your Anarchy kind of
101 kit type stuff like
(05:50):
here's how to disable a robotic dog that
comes at you not that I'm saying for you
to do that it's like here's how to avoid
facial recognition and
act accordingly yeah but he said
something I'm saying to do that but it's
like yeah I would hate for this to
happen to some sort of a device or a
(06:12):
vehicle or something but this would just
be awful if that happened I'm like all
sorts of stuff like that yours had a uh
here's how to make spikes for uh the
road if you just like pop some tires of
someone not that I want you to do that
or not and it's just blowing up all
these guys are like this guy's like
given guerrilla warfare tips
(06:33):
he's like the forest rager and it's like
I mean all of his YouTube stuff was very
much like how to like like chainsaw
maintenance yeah it was all about acts
and stuff yeah he was so mild-mannered
on YouTuber it's all like you know
here's how to sharpen this ax and yeah
family values and stuff and now it's
just guerrilla warfare tactics yeah
(06:54):
exactly it's like he's the most popular
prep or Tick Tock as far as I know but
uh and he's and he's like he always
especially lately like his most recent
ones he's always talking about like if
you're the unfortunate unfortunate uh
son of a single mom or something like
that and I'm like I can't tell if you're
(07:14):
trying to use sarcasm there or if like
you're like I don't know what's going on
and then he'll just go off on to like
how to sharpen an ax or how to like put
water he was putting powder in a Roomba
yesterday and I was like what is this
even talking about at this point I
didn't I didn't see that one but yeah
that's that's not the Wrangler star I
(07:36):
know the one I know is so nice but now
it's uh and he always used to be like
he'd wear like Flanders he'd look like a
lover now he's wearing like a button-up
denim shirt with like a neckerchief he
looks like like he's ready to be in like
a country band or I don't know what's
going on but uh he's he's gotten big
time I mean he already was big time but
he's a big time but he's kind of
(07:56):
rebranded he's kind of I think a lot of
folks do that like uh they Maybe
I can't tell if it's just like he's
working the algorithms type thing or
whatever oh good to see Sonny good to
see you yeah sure yeah yeah but yeah
everybody's in here pigs fly is in here
pigs fly is dual is dual streaming
because she's on your channel and on my
(08:18):
channel yeah which which we have it's
kind of it's kind of like an Inception
like we're yeah exactly in the channel
on of another Channel too I love that I
love that for our algorithm I still
always get nervous when something stays
is on but that's yeah yeah you're gonna
try to play I'll play it cool Chuck is
here yeah exactly we've got all of the
all of the usual suspects are here
um
(08:39):
so yeah so um so anyway so it's
summertime it's today is the first
official day of summer it's like yeah
and I'm wearing my Han Solo thermal uh
thermal vest I was like we could not be
wearing more black heavy winter wear
well we watched we watched the Wrangler
star tick tocks and now we're kind of
going full-on gorilla Warfare for art
(08:59):
videos too
oh gosh the one about that the one that
was the wood splitter one that went
viral like that became a tone it was
like introducing so many people in Tick
Tock to the prepper world uh I always
worry
like we've come a long way since
Doomsday Preppers but I think we're back
now exactly there's definitely back and
(09:22):
like an hour on these everyone has short
attention spans so 15 second clips of
like uh all sorts of stuff but yeah
Meanwhile we're talking we're uh we're
all smiles here so exactly we're the
happy Peppers uh we're back at all of
those sorts of fun things
um so yeah so I threw out the summer
time yeah summertime it's not summertime
(09:45):
um because I was thinking it is that it
is officially happens to be the first
day of summer and it's the longest day
of summer and as we think about both I
would say summer preps so what are those
things that that we always want to think
about when we're preparing for summer
and all that sort of stuff but also like
you know our kids are home for the
summer I think your kids are close to
(10:07):
being home for the summer if they aren't
already already they're home they're
home you know there's kind of that like
uh you know what do you do with your
kids when you're home like there's camps
and all that sort of stuff but it's also
an opportunity to do some other things
um you know prepping wise
um and so we have my wife is in charge
(10:27):
of summers at our house
um we've had the 80s summer
um where the kids were basically they
had no TV or screens or anything at all
and they just had to go play outside
um we it's called the 80s summer yeah
she called it the 80s Summer She was
like we're not watching shows or
anything out you're outside front yard
so like the Gen X summer exactly
(10:50):
you can control them in the neighborhood
exactly but we're not we're not doing
video games we're not doing that
um and this year she has decided that
it's our summer of skills and so we had
the kids actually like make a little
list of the life skills that they wanted
to learn this summer
um and then we had our own list of of
(11:12):
ideas and kind of brought it together
and so we're kind of running through
that so
um so I figured I'd throw it out to you
you want to talk about like summer preps
like heat and hot and that sort of stuff
you want to talk about more like summer
vacation preps
um do we want to break this up into a
series maybe oh well I I uh I think all
(11:33):
those are good ideas I know for yeah
nowadays like what I'm trying I'm trying
to prep for winter but uh yeah prepping
for winter we're in the midst of it now
so um on the summer stuff uh we have
some summer vacations coming up yeah
hopefully people like I think like in
January through March is when you start
getting all your summer preps together
but I don't I don't know if I have a
(11:53):
whole bunch of seasonal type uh serious
modifications in the summertime it's
more of like for vacation type stuff
winter is the one I'm always worried
about because at least in our if I was
in Arizona I think my summer preps would
uh it'd be different because of uh the
extreme heat but we live in the Pacific
Northwest so it's not like it gets too
hot over here uh so I I'm actually
(12:14):
trying to think of reaction if we do any
kind of real serious like alterations to
preps like winter time that's when the
de-icers and all that stuff comes into
play and like uh stuff for warmth and
stuff uh
but yeah I don't I don't know if I I
think you should probably uh like be six
months ahead of the the game so if
you're prepping for summer uh you're
already in summer that's kind of like a
prepping for uh uh you know when I don't
(12:36):
know there's all sorts of emergencies
have like a lot of people when like the
wildfires and stuff happen then they
start prepping for the wildfires and
it's like yeah you're in the Wildfire so
just to be clear everyone when you
decide to have a a live podcast with a
famous YouTuber it's always good to
throw out an idea two hours ahead of
time and then have him absolutely throw
it in a dumpster in front of everyone
(12:59):
you want to stream tonight hey maybe
come over there yeah hey okay you got it
oh yeah I always like I was like why are
you even on the air why do I do this
with you you know why I do this
I know I always like I always like to
Freestyle and stuff and
yeah I don't think the other time well
yeah we're in the pr we're in we're in
summer though uh I don't know but I'm
(13:20):
trying to think like what are some
summer preps that like you might want to
change yeah I think especially if you're
in Arizona or something you know like
like getting the you know firewood and
all that sort of stuff you would use
like in the winter time I think you can
also do a little bit in the summer
because you might do like
uh fire pits and that sort of stuff
where okay now's a good time to maybe
order it and plan ahead for that sort of
(13:41):
thing and you can use it now but I'm
thinking about like minor things like we
usually add extra sunscreen like to all
the cars and all the bags just because
it's a thing that now is a little bit
more needed than for example in the
winter time
um I those of us who
um are follicly or have gone with a
different style that's what we've gone
(14:02):
with we've gone with a different style
yeah
um like I have like a some hat a sun hat
thing that I keep
I don't keep it with me which is a
problem and so one of my preps is
actually trying to find it in the house
and make sure that it's now at the front
door so I have it with me as opposed to
when I don't have it you know and and I
(14:23):
don't care about it in the winter time
or whatever
um so I think there's some of that sort
of stuff there's
um you know cycling water in your car I
think everybody probably can't water in
their car but just making sure that you
have like cold water or that you have
extra water in case you get stuck uh you
know on the freeway what kind of water
do you have in your car because I was
(14:44):
just uh I just removed water Yeah well
yeah yeah do you go bottle do you go the
water cans do you do box water yeah ouch
you do the Lifeguard the survival uh
life Lifeboat if I if I wanted to do it
yeah if I wanted to do it like the best
it would probably be like like the jar
water is great
(15:05):
um or box water or something like that
um we do like the case of water from
Costco
um which is you know not great because
it's in plastic bottles and it's going
to be in a car that's hot and everything
else but we don't leave it in there for
years at a time and if it's super hot
like we probably aren't going to drink
it right away anyway
um because it's gonna be too hot
um but I'd rather have some water that
(15:28):
was sitting in a bottle that may have a
little bit of a chemical in it at that
moment you know than to not have any
water at all and really wish that we we
had it
um so yeah so we we usually do that we
also do like water bottles like the kids
we all have our our uh metal
um water bottles
um and so if we're going anywhere we'll
(15:49):
try and fill those up in advance and
make sure we've got ice and everything
in there
um the pouches I think are good
um but they don't have a lot of water in
them so I think they're great for like
if you wanted them in a backpack for
like a bug out scenario or something
like that and you just want enough to
make sure you can cook or whatever
um and you don't want to have the bulk
(16:10):
of a bottle in your bag I think the
pouches make a lot of sense
um but for you know
every day uh I don't want to have to
worry about com continually restocking
so you get the case from Costco it's the
only water that we buy from Costco
um because Costco doesn't have big
(16:31):
jugs of water or anything working on the
Costco sponsorship so yeah noticing that
so Costco uh we yeah at Costco we'd love
to buy more water from you if you win if
you would do that
um but they you know we just get the
cases of water there
um I'm not too particular about it I
don't think yeah my mom rocks the the
(16:51):
Costco uh case of water and then the
back but for years now I've been doing
the glass bottles just because I think
they taste they uh but we don't have
extreme freezing temperatures here where
we're at so I don't have to worry about
them cracking but uh they taste great
even after they've been there for you a
little bit the only thing I worry about
with them is that I don't worry about
them breaking but I do worry about if I
(17:12):
was in some car accident or something a
glass water bottle flying out at me so I
need to put a little projectile yeah
it's like and they're heavy but uh I'm
trying to but I find that those work the
best for me because uh I I just I don't
know I don't like when the when the
water's been in the plastic bottles for
a while they just I know they taste a
little yeah but but if I was uh if it
(17:32):
was emergency I wouldn't care what it
tasted like so yeah exactly and that's I
think the thing is is if it's everything
tastes better in glass that's true
fattest days you are correct
um like a soda soda tastes better in
glass beers takes better well do well
draft is better but uh uh yeah I think
yeah
um the uh oh prepper water Koozies now
she's on a merch you're gonna get us
(17:54):
talking about merch ideas now like with
the waterproof water Koozies come with a
tiny any like
instead of like a bottle opener would it
be like a little ax shaped bottle opener
like for prepping or something would it
be a multi-tool bottle opener does it
have a koozie pocket for our little
leathermans to go in
(18:14):
I mean I have I have no well actually I
have a little go bag in there too so I
guess I have filtration but yeah I like
having the individual water things that
I think I have a few pouches where the
spare tire is I think I have a few just
for absolute emergencies type stuff but
uh yeah the other thing is too that we
got um we got like a big like big black
fleece blankets
um I think I got them from Ikea a while
(18:35):
ago
um and they're like they're not fancy or
anything they were cheap and they're
just big blankets yeah um and so we keep
those in the back of our cars as well
and so when we have the water in there
we usually take the blanket and put it
over so it's not getting as much direct
sun and it kind of insulates it a little
bit
um I don't know if there's any science
to it making anything better but it
(18:57):
makes me and my wife it makes us feel
better so I think it probably does a
little something and I and I I also like
having those blankets there because uh
if you if you have something in the back
you could cover it up so it's not as
visible for bad guys and stuff but uh
yeah they're out there too bad guys uh
bad guys are out in the summertime more
than the winter time I find yes yes I
(19:17):
actually just got my I just got the
camera I've got one of the those dash
cams uh for your car but mine also has
an internal camera and then it's got an
auto on so if there's motion around the
car it will automatically turn on and
start recording uh it won't wait until
the car is on or anything like that yeah
yeah we I need to upgrade on that thanks
(19:39):
for the reminder it'll go on my Amazon
list for sure you're welcome I I
repositioned some of my I don't know if
it's summer specific but so I have on
the one nerd that has a personal
flotation device type stuff in the car
because I'm worried of floods uh so I
did some floatation in the car in order
for the flood thing happen in your car
(20:01):
you would have to be in the body of
water
well
are you worried that you're going to be
in the body of water I'm worried about
like what if there's like a tsunami or
if there's flooding like in Washington
that's like the number one emergency is
is floods like yeah flooding really yeah
it's not fire it's not earthquake it's
not volcanoes it's flooding and so I'm
(20:23):
just always worried about I don't I
don't know I'm not always worried but I
have like the rescue Mees on all the
windows and all the cars that I have I
have so I have these life like if I had
to I could swim pretty well well but my
daughter can't and so so I just have
let's have those and I kind of
repositioned where those are at but I
don't I don't think that's a seasonal
prep that I'm doing all right so I will
say
(20:43):
I was going to give you a lot of a hard
time about that one okay
um still gonna give you a little bit of
a hard time because the rescue me is
like I watched this one guy do this
video where he took his kid out and they
bought like
the glass out of a car door and then
like they brought it back to their house
and then smashed it with the rescue me
so that we could see it
(21:03):
um I think he's doing okay on YouTube
he's he's doing fine okay um yeah it was
your video oh yeah I was like man that
sounds familiar with that oh that sounds
familiar gosh that's a great idea yeah
you did it like five years ago and I
bought like 30 rescue moves so anyway
um the uh the little flotation devices
that are not like cushions but they
(21:23):
they're the ones that have this yeah
because those you could actually pack in
a like you get back under a seat or
something
um I I don't hate that idea
how much they cost them they're
expensive that's the thing and then you
have to recharge you have to remember
about recharging so that's why I went
with the yeah the big bulky things but
(21:44):
and I used the bulky things for uh uh
like knee pads like if you're changing
your tire or something they're dual
purpose or oh okay that you're doing
under the car so I kind of like it for
that because it's a dual purpose but and
they're cheaper but those flotation
those little ones are those compact ones
are nice I just worry about my kids
mainly yeah for for that but again I
don't think that's a Summer Prep I think
that's just I just I always have that in
(22:05):
the car but that's just an in general
why something station not going to the
car with me what's going on let's we uh
sentence days you're welcome in the in
the in the top mobile
what bottle of water together we
've logo on the side of your car now
that is that's the thing
I also need to be awesome about green
(22:27):
man that's not great we need a
flashlight with just the the silhouette
of the top logo the top signal
that's funny that is fantastic
um yeah I was I was keeping an eye on
whatever people were talking there's a
lot happening in the chat right now when
we go away for like a week and a half
(22:49):
and then come back on our actual night
like holy cow on the real night yeah I I
work from home today so it worked out
well because my wife's not feeling well
but uh yeah so I'm talking about rocket
stoves and yeah she's
I I don't know I never get sick but my
wife catches all the you know gets to go
yeah we had that last week my daughter
got sick and then my wife got sick and
(23:09):
then my son wasn't sure if he was sick
or not yeah and I as a as a University
of Oregon Duck fan you are not so you
will not understand this joke but anyone
who is uh when you go to the football
game at Austin Stadium at the beginning
of the game when they're talking about
everything else they always say and it
never rains at autism stadium and
everyone in the crowd cheers
(23:31):
um I've been there a couple of times
where it actually has downpoured like
it's Oregon and like water was sheeting
off of the stairs and everything else
and they'll come on and they'll be like
it never rains at Austin Stadium but the
forecast today is for liquid Sunshine
um it's a it's a variation yeah yeah
exactly so yeah it's just it's I I don't
(23:52):
get sick it's not a thing that happens
occasionally I am not fully healthy but
I am I it might be 70 yeah no I I don't
know I got a award in school when I uh
senior year I didn't miss one day of
school all through Elementary all
through Junior High all through high
school like so uh
I don't know I don't get sick that often
(24:13):
I'll get a big sick every once in a
while like cancer or something but I'll
that's what what happens with me like
Ariana uh your big you know some certain
scares like that that require major
surgery wow I don't get uh it's all or
nothing with you it's all or nothing
it's it's go big or or don't go home I
guess I don't know what also the vehicle
(24:35):
press one of the things that came in
here I don't know why I'm sharing this
but uh the the travel John came in handy
the other day because I had to go the
number one and uh and I didn't have a
place to go it would have been number
two it would have been a very different
oh that would have been uh
uh crappy situation
thanks for I can't understand how you
(24:59):
would want to leave right now I can't
understand okay we started going towards
the potty type talk eventually you know
what we can advertise now we can listen
to times we can relax a little bit Yeah
have a wonderful night yeah
oh yeah my wife has been this uh not
feeling well she uh and so she uh the
the barf bags we have some those those
(25:20):
uh um
yeah once I get the hospital
but that's not again that's not a
summertime prep uh let's go back to I'm
going to try to go back to topic so yeah
it's okay we don't really I mean topics
are are just kind of um
your Father's Day
oh yeah that's right uh it was pretty
(25:40):
good last year I was so mad because all
I wanted for Father's Day was to sleep
in and said don't no one wake me up no
matter what just just leave me alone for
I want to sleep in and then like at 7 00
a.m like the the neighbors had some weed
whackers going because they hired a lawn
crew I'm like and it woke me up I'm like
dude what are you doing but this year I
(26:02):
still woke up early but we had a nice uh
my mom came over we're uh I get my
height from my Swedish side and so she
uh she came over and made Swedish
pancakes and bacon for did she only
serve them on high shelves
uh no and we we had some we've been
having oven all of our appliances seem
to be going out at the same time and so
(26:22):
we had to to make we but I like baking
the oven now uh the baking not baking
the baking the bacon now and so we had
to improvise and use the barbecue for
the bacon I've never barbecued bacon
before but I did on Sunday for for the
Swedish pancakes but that was I'm a
friend who does uh he does uh pork belly
(26:43):
burnt ends with his smoker and like yeah
puts like uh brown sugar glaze on them
and the whole thing so it's like bacon
and barbecue it's fantastic yeah well I
mean we I did it in a baking sheet and
then I have like the vented thing so the
fat kind of drips off and they bake
pretty evenly and yeah but that's that's
(27:05):
what we did for Father's Day and I
forget what else I did just kind of
low-key for the most part very good very
good because I forgot
um we did uh we went to dinner
um I don't know if you saw the paperwork
we crossed the Oregon Washington border
because my favorite Mexican restaurant
is hilarious right in Vancouver uh so we
had to go there for enchiladas and their
(27:27):
salsa which I absolutely can't get
enough of uh we came back with a quart
of it uh because it's like a 45 minute
drive out there so I was like I want it
for the rest of the week
um my the kids did a scavenger hunt uh
for me in the morning uh all around the
house uh nice and then my the the
(27:48):
present that they got me
um is still in route so when it gets
here I will I will show it off but I had
purchased for myself yeah
um I got the Lego Pac-Man
uh I think uh did you see it no you seen
it oh my goodness okay well I meant to
put it's gonna go right here Optimus
Prime is gonna leave and it bumps out
(28:10):
Optimus Prime yeah yep it does uh my
son's Gonna Wanna because he's uh he
looks up to your Lego collection yeah
it's an arcade it looks like a little
arcade cabinet but it's Technic and
everything and so when you turn the
crank on the side it actually runs
Pac-Man and the ghosts around the Maze
(28:31):
and there's like a cherry that's there
and all it is
fantastic uh so you bought yourself a
Father's Day present yeah yeah yeah yeah
so I I bought I actually bought it like
a couple weeks ago yeah but uh my wife
was like so what do you want to do and I
was like well we want to go see Indiana
Jones in like a week and I have never
seen the Indiana Jones movies and the
(28:53):
kids hadn't so we did an Indiana Jones
movie marathon and uh built Legos we
just we just watched a couple Indiana
Jones too but we don't uh we don't watch
the new ones it's just the original
trilogy is what we yeah yeah uh and I
don't know if you saw the Crystal Skull
and I thought it was horrible yeah we
want we watched them all because we
didn't like I don't know I was like I I
(29:15):
don't know what I I know about this
Indiana Jones I've seen scenes but like
I've never actually sat and watched an
entire one
um so we watched all of them and then uh
I think the goal is my wife really likes
Indiana Jones so we're gonna go see the
new Indiana Jones and theater so we were
getting the kids all right
um and then I saw that that Sutton's
(29:36):
days had mentioned after like how our
Gardens were yeah I was gonna get to
that but then she split because oh yeah
so uh I went and got more starts
um to go and kind of fill out more of a
garden so we're gonna try some peppers I
had another gardening friend who was
like you should try cauliflower you
should try Peppers I'm like okay fine
um I'm trying the nasturtiums in the
(29:57):
Marigolds in the beds to see if that
helps with bugs we're doing all kinds of
like little uh little tested experiments
it sounds awesome but yeah how about you
how's your garden doing uh my wife is
taking over the operation fully and uh
yeah I had to put on Father's Day I had
to put deer fencing up because the deer
are obliterating our everything roses
(30:19):
strawberries uh blueberries they're
they're just eating all of it so uh were
they sent by your neighbor
I know
no are the evil deer with ladies or
beams attached to their heads yeah
they're just addicted to roses I guess I
didn't know that a bit deer but by the
way we could we could start over the
string because uh Pony girl has arrived
(30:39):
so Pony girls arrived yeah it was a
little late a little late but all right
well yeah yeah exactly yeah not Optimus
isn't going far Optimus will probably go
the problem is this shelf is a weird
shape so Optimus may go down here I may
put them in truck form or something I'm
gonna they'll still be there and then
(30:59):
Pac-Man will go up there yeah but uh
yeah this is urban Preppers working on
now she has Carolina Reapers and so
she's growing those on the side and so
uh that's I'm yeah those are those ones
are gonna be hot but yeah yeah that's
all going uh pretty pretty good
according to plan for sure so I was
gonna see something else right I often
have a war on bugs Pony girl and
(31:20):
oftentimes they are outside yeah yeah oh
we were watching it I was uh with the
kids it's like oh we should watch a nice
family show like Indiana Jones so we've
put on Indiana Jones within the first
scene like there's like uh some guy gets
impaled by spikes
it gets shot it was like oh my gosh
(31:40):
what's going on here like wait a minute
this is not how I remember this oh wait
I was looking at this from 1980s eyes
and not uh so my daughter it was like
wow what's going on
too scary and then like on the first one
like she was all I forgot she all liked
the monkey that was on that one and the
(32:01):
monkey ate the poison date and died like
oh yeah and that was like really like
what
I tell the 80s roll we yeah it was edgy
back then yeah you got edgy yeah a
little edgy so yeah all right well I
think you have piano lessons yeah uh
yeah a little bit uh oh okay again I
(32:23):
gotta I have to leave at six so I uh
it's 5 56 so we got like three ladies
and gentlemen this is what it's like
working with with uh star power here
the kids take piano lessons and uh it's
Norm I have been working at the office
and so on Wednesdays but because uh
people were sick I worked from home
everything worked out this this is what
(32:45):
it should be like I think this is yeah
this works out Wednesday is our home but
now it is next week I'll be uh probably
remote again so the camera is going to
look horrible but that's all right
that's all right we'll do like the
special occasions and I think or we
could pre-film it and we could just have
the rerun play we could like an actual
podcast where they do like that
(33:06):
podcast which is kind of fun but we
could do like a record we can try to do
a recorded one
um I don't think I might do like my my
stream like on the on the weeks that you
are where and we do our stream on Friday
I would do my stream on Wednesday and
then when we do our stream on Wednesday
then I'll do my stream on
(33:26):
this is totally random it's not proper
related well I don't know maybe most of
our stream isn't so I don't think that's
right
have you ever seen the starlink uh
satellite trains
or have you heard of those trains yes
okay so okay so I'm not allowed so okay
Tuesday I'm coming back from something
I'm with a friend of mine and we look
(33:48):
out I it's like 11 30 at night I look up
in the sky and I see these lights in a
perfect series of perfect row there's 30
or 40 of them traveling across the the
upper atmosphere and I'm like what the
heck is that I'm like do you see that
and and he's like what is that and I'm
like oh and uh for me the prepper I'm
like oh my gosh we're it's UFO invasion
(34:10):
is happening the invasion's happening or
like we're going to like there's like
those are like battleships or something
like uh yeah we're we're at War and I'm
like but I thought oh man this these are
aliens they're aliens are attacking us
right now and so then I left on my hands
nice nice knowing yeah
I'm gonna immediately go on Twitter to
search like this and everyone was
(34:31):
there's people were also people were
posting about it but then I found out
that they were starlink satellite trains
that like uh I which I've never seen
before but there's up in the atmosphere
and they're in a perfect line so if you
ever see that you have no fear it's not
aliens attacking them
Elon who might be an alien yeah exactly
(34:51):
but uh there's part of me that's super
jealous about people who get to have
starlink internet because I kind of love
the idea of having satellite internet
especially like with the speeds and
stuff that they've got going on there
but I can't justify I can't justify
having
starlink and uh fiber and satellite
(35:13):
still isn't as good as fiber and so it's
kind of like I can't justify this I'm
gonna see if I can get a quick photo for
you just so you can kind of see but I
was so scared what are you taking a
photo of you look like you're like like
it's
just like a PG PG-13 is this an R rated
photo what's happening no it's just the
starlink uh all right what it looks like
(35:34):
so let me see if I can get it off camera
but it looked like
I don't know if you can even see that
like a line like that yeah wait you
can't see that yeah you need to you need
to expand it and then bring it right up
to the camera
that's not gonna work if we have like a
better show like we would have like I'd
have the I know how do we bring it up
(35:54):
yeah
you'd have our assistant bring it up
there but yeah yeah we'll have to work
on that anyway so so uh no they weren't
aliens okay well I mean it seems like
that was
interesting and yet slightly
disappointing that you weren't uh
pulled to probe or something like well I
thought
okay I I didn't know if it was bug out
(36:15):
bag time or not but for a moment it was
a little moment
if the aliens are coming I don't think
there's anywhere you can go that's true
like like they would they'll find you
okay yeah exactly they have the ability
to go other places I was drinking the
same the stevia that you're drinking or
the the zvia I've just drinking the same
one just the creamy root beer yeah right
(36:37):
before I got it I think we're kind of
we're kind of linked in with each other
we have a Starlight connection Portland
to Seattle so we do we do uh and we're
I'm finalizing I was finalizing some of
our uh plans for uh July yeah have your
people talk to my people because I'm
going to be down to Oregon for uh what
we'll yeah we'll we'll work that out but
(36:58):
I'll be there earlier July for a
vacation and then I'll be back okay all
right yeah
yeah all right all right we'll end it on
all of our future plans uh I think now
now that we've had some more some more
chatting
um stay tuned uh next week we will do
some sort of a stream it might be
Wednesday it might be Friday uh we're
(37:19):
not sure yet but we'll figure it out
um keep an eye out all your
notifications on because anybody who got
the notification two hours before we got
online that we were gonna do this you
never know with us you never know and
now we're also on Facebook on Twitch
which is cool exactly we're on Facebook
we're on Twitch we're on Twitter do you
have a Twitter you have a Twitter oh can
you hook up Twitter yeah you can do live
(37:40):
streaming on Twitter now
gotta step up my game yeah exactly we
can connect that one you can connect all
of the things well we had a rough start
to the stream but I think we got it back
we got back on exactly and since days
came so that was good we had the our
usual we got the Kinks worked out and
one girl came and everything kind of
worked out from there exactly Chuck was
here big spot we had all the all the
(38:02):
usual suspects it felt like home again

um no you know we'll see what happens
next week I'm gonna hop off flying I
gotta watch some Wrangler star guerrilla
warfare videos on Tick Tock and just
cause some trouble we need to see where
you get regular stuff I think one of the
things we should start thinking about

yeah like could we get regular star to
come on to our podcast can we get no
like we sh I don't know Nate and and
