Speaker 1 (03:18):
Hello there, it's Sunday Night with Alan Ray. I am
your humble host, Alan Ray. You just heard the Lost Wonder.
Oh my gosh, what a great night. Sunday is so
great the Charles Vincent Project earlier, Man, you know what
kal rn is just rocking Sunday nights. I'm loving it.

(03:39):
It is Sunday Night with Alan Ray. I am your
humble host Allan Ray. Before we go down the main
part of the show, let's kind of circle the toilet
a little bit. Huh, Hope everything's going on right. Everybody's
had a good week. Things are going on right now.
It's kind of odd. Apparently the US Secret Service today
shot a man outside the White House after an armed confrontation.

(04:03):
This is from the Secret Service, in had earlier received
a tip off from local police about a suicidal individual
who may be traveling to Washington, Washington, d C. From Indiana.
It said it's officers approached a man matching that description,
who brandished a firearm and adding that shots were fired.
The man is now in the hospital in an unknown condition.

(04:23):
President Donald Trump was not in the White House at
the time, as he is spending the weekend at his
Florida residence on mar Lago. As officers approached, the individual
brandished to firearm and an armed confrontation ensued, during which
shots were fired by our personnel, the statement said. Now,
it's kind of hard to find this on the news.

(04:44):
Libs of TikTok had a post on it. But I'll
tell you what, it's not trending. You think this would
be big news. I mean if this was some kind
of crazed right wing lunatic according to the press, going
after Joe Biden, oh my gosh, they would be shutting
everything down there. Everything would just be going crazy and

(05:05):
and there, you know, they would be weeping and gnashing
of teeth, of teeths. I had to get this actual
post from BBC that that that's how popular it is.
It shouldn't we be hearing things on the media like
I think it's time we tone down the rhetoric. Shouldn't

(05:27):
Barack Whussein Obama be you know, sanctimoniously having a press
conference going.

Speaker 7 (05:33):
Wow, I think it's not talking about rhetoric. Rhetoric's too bad,
and it's gonna it's gonna related to violence. We don't
have a magic wand just off the violence. No, because
this is what they want.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
I mean, it's to the point now where it's actually
if it wasn't dangerous like it is, it's comical. Elizabeth Warren,
Senator Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders there, the geeky boy there,
he's Adam Scheff. Just a bunch of them like that.

(06:08):
Their X feed is just post after post after post
after post after post. Trump's a fascist Trump's a Nazi,
Trump's a hitler. Trump's gonna make us broke. Trump's destroying
our government. Trump's doing this. He's he's going after little kids.
He's gonna come over and he's gonna kick your grandmother
in the teeth. He's gonna kill your dog. He's gonna
throw your cat into the fire. Trump is a horrible,
horrible man. Just over and over and over and over

(06:29):
over again. You look at their timeline, it's just boom
boo boom boom bom boom boom boom. Just that's all
they do all day. They're they're pimply faced. Little interns
that are working for them are just an overdrive. And
this is gonna be the result, folks. This is how
it's gonna go down. Don't let them kid you. This
is what they want now. I don't know if they

(06:51):
actually want to bring physical harm to the president, because
then they would, you know, be guilty. Everybody would be
looking at that going, this is your violent rhetoric. But
I think they want him afraid. I think they want
him afraid to step out into public. I think they
want him to pull back. Oh my god, he's attacking

(07:11):
their god, the government and God by little g because
they don't deserve the big g God. The government. That's
their God, that's their church. Washington, d C. Is their mecca.
I'm surprised they don't, you know, like dance naked around
the Capitol Building. Oh God, I'd never want to see that.
Please God, don't ever let me live long enough to

(07:31):
see that. But they have church service. I mean that's
their services. Their church services is their their sanctimonious gatherings
in the halls of Congress. And he's attacking their god.
Elon Musk is attacking their God. Nobody voted for Elin
mask Well, nobody voted for George Soros, nobody voted for

(07:52):
Bill Gates, nobody voted for any of those derelicts that,
since the first day of the Obama administration have been
trying to run this country. Well, now this is what. Yeah,
and just a quick rundown. Like I said, just a
couple of real quick stories here. And I found this
one kind of funny. And this is from NPR National
Propaganda Radio, Shock of all shocks. European Union leaders are

(08:16):
gathering in Brussels this coming Thursday for the latest emergency
summit called the Bolster Security for Ukraine. Okay they are.
I'm just gonna jump right down to the middle of
this because I don't want to spend a lot of
time in here. The centerpiece of the summit will be
a package of proposals Vander Layan, which I don't know.
He's one of the big shots for the European Union.

(08:38):
Now he'd pull some strings aimed at raising defense spending
by eight hundred billion euros eight hundred and sixty billion
euros across the block. The quote rearm Europe unquote plans
to offer incentives to governments, including removing penalties for running
up high debt levels if the expenditures are for military reasons. So,

(09:00):
all of a sudden, just like that, folk, I'm gonna
leave it right there, Okay, all of a sudden, just
like that, the European Union scrambling to get eight hundred
and sixty billion dollars. That's their aim so they can
actually do the job. That up until just a wee week,
two weeks ago, they were counting on your paycheck to

(09:23):
fund mister and missus America. Before I get too far in,
thanks guys for all jumping in the chat. We got
Jeff in there, we got lady in there, we got
Rick in there, we got Raptor in there. Thanks for
popping in guys. Hopefully, hopefully we can get some people. Yeah,
he's already spent Russia's money. That's right, Raptor eight hundred
and sixty billion. All of a sudden, it's like, oh

(09:44):
my gosh, we have to defend ourselves. Donald Trump isn't
going to rate the American paycheck to pay for our security.
It's almost like it was back at the beginning of
World War Two. Tired of dying for Europe, Yeah we are.
We're really kind of are. We're tired of sending our

(10:06):
kids into the meat grinder. Not to mention the fact that,
you know, Russia is supplying all of Europe with natural gas,
which is why they wanted us to take on Russia
because well it could it could make them pretty cold
if they take on Russia. Because they've screwed themselves in
the name of the Green New Deal. God, they have

(10:28):
screwed themselves. They no longer have their own coal facilities.
They tried to go cold Turkey and just do big
giant fans win fans and big giant sun panels. Well,
guess what it didn't work. It didn't work, and they
got cold, and people started uprising, and they said, oh so,

(10:49):
who was the only place that they could get a
quick natural gas supply from. Well, Russia, Russia, Rashaan Rashia.
So Russia kind of has them. Excuse me while I
adjust my microphone a little bit here. I hope it
doesn't make too much noise over the uh So, Russia
is basically has them by the naughty bits, and they

(11:15):
don't know how to handle it. They don't know how
to cope. One other thing, and I found this one
really really interesting. This is a click on Detroit dot com.
This is this comes from a Detroit I was looking
for something different, but I ran across this and I went,
I didn't hear about any of this. Oh good, it

(11:36):
didn't make any noise. Well does this make noise? I
bet that made noise. Anyways. This is from Detroit News
for and I didn't I didn't know anything about this.
This is just like right off a cyber hill I got.

(11:56):
I wish Lou and Jeff and already were back on
because they would love this. Thousands of sick, exhausted and
terrified young men and women from countries all over the world,
squatted in rows, pecked shoulders to shoulder, surgical masks covering
their mouths and eyes. Their nightmare was supposed to be over,
but it was just beginning. Last month, a dramatic and

(12:19):
highly publicized operation by Thai, Chinese and My and MY
authorities led to the release of more than seven thousand
people from locked compounds in mind Mar where they were
forced to trick Americans and others out of their life
savings the biggest cyber scams. You know, all these cyber
scam deals. But survivors have found themselves trapped once again,

(12:42):
this time in overcrowded facilities with no medical care, limited food,
and no idea where they be sent home. One young
man from as you could probably guess, India said about
eight hundred people were being held in the same facility
as him, sharing ten dirty toilets. Eight hundred people ten toilets.
Oh you, he said. Many of the people they were
feverish and coughing. Like all former enslaved scammers who talk

(13:03):
to the Associated press. He spoke on conditions of onanimity
out of concern for his safety. So wait a minute, chat,
enlighten me, please chat? Did you know about these seven
thousand people that they found that were basically slaves labor

(13:28):
doing cyber scams all over the world, especially targeting America.
Where was I? This was like in February. I didn't
know anything about this. Am I out of it? Am
I just losing it? Already says, never heard a word
of it. And I would think if anybody already and

(13:49):
Jeff would be the two people on this planet that
would have and Lou of course the third would be
the people who actually would know about this. No, all
you're hearing is Trump.

Speaker 7 (14:01):
Trump Come frum trum tum tumm Tummi skim.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
That's all you're hearing. That's all you hear. That's all
you see on the news. This stuff is going on.
Seven thousand slaves and their whole thing is scamming people,
scamming mostly targeted at the United States of America. Raptor Nope, Rick, Nope, already, Nope,

(14:26):
nobody's heard a word about this. Well, I'm telling you
you're hearing it here right here on Sunday Night with
Alan Ray. It's a scary world, folks, And all you
hear is Donald Trump. I wonder why I wonder why

(14:48):
I don't even want to get into what's going on
in the Syria right now. Series is a nightmare. Syria
is a holocaust right now, and I'm not gonna say
much about it outside of the fact that there's going
to come a day soon and very soon, where we
are going to have to deal with a certain group
of people exactly like we dealt with them many, many

(15:10):
years ago. It's gonna be ugly, it's gonna be violent,
and hopefully we have it in us to take care
of business just like we did several several years ago.
That's all I'm gonna say about what's going on Syria.
Look it up for yourselves. You don't know exactly what
I'm talking about, all right, Which leads us down to

(15:30):
what I want to talk about tonight, which is what
I promised you last week. I sat out on my
patio tonight, dear listeners, with well, I shouldn't say tonight.
This afternoon it was fifty three degrees. Fifty three degrees,
it felt like heaven. Yes, there was a sharp breeze.

(15:52):
I was wearing a sweatshirt. Usually if it's mid fifties,
my patio bricks and everything heat up to the point
where if you're sitting out on the patio, it's good
sick on it and it's warm. But yeah, there was
a sharp breeze. Not a big deal. It felt great
sitting out on my chair just in the sunshine, letting
it beat on me and just enjoying myself, smiling for once,

(16:16):
being warm for once. Oh my god. But I was
also doing something else, and I posted this on X,
Twitter or whatever you want to call it. I was,
I was doing wind link. I was doing what basically

(16:37):
amounts to and my gosh, this is this is the
stupidity of what I do. Sometimes I have I have
Twitter X on one computer and I've got all of
my information on the other computer. So I'm gonna have
to grab this this website real quick, and I'm gonna
have to, you know, while I'm while I'm doing things,
I'll copy and paste this. I was out with my

(17:00):
a newer UV pro from b Tech now b Tech,
if you're not familiar with who they are, they're basically
all things bowfaing. However, However, that said, the b Tech
UV Pro is not a bowfaning product. It is a
product from a different company. And there's about three or

(17:22):
four other companies that have this very similar product, and
it is setting the handheld radio world on its head.
It's absolutely phenomenal. And I'm getting let's see b Tech
UV Pro. I'm gonna put a link to this thing.

(17:43):
You could go right on b tech and you can
order this thing, probably the cheapest place to order it,
with Amazon being the second cheapest, but they will send
it to you pretty much free, you know, no shipping,
free of charge. Let's see if I know how to
let's see do that copy. Let's put this right in
the chat so you guys can be on the same

(18:05):
page as me. Uh, I'm using I'm using this little
keyboard on a Raspberry pie. Guys. That's why this is
going a little bit longer.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
I've got the link in there. And even though they
say it's about thing, but it's not about faning product.
Valving has nothing to do with this thing. It is
the UV Pro. The thing about the uv pro is
it's under two hundred bucks. The special part about this
is for under two hundred dollars, you get a built

(18:38):
in GPS system. Now that might not seem like a
lot to you. You also get programming an app that
you download right onto your phone or your tablet or
your computer. That you can program this thing to the
hilt by five six seven different programming basically pages, and
the second you flip over to a page and hit enter,

(18:59):
it just automatically loads into your HD into your radio.
This is a Now, this is a dual band handheld
radio for Ham radio use. They make one of these
that is GMRS, where all you have to do is
have a GMRS license. You don't have to pass a
test to anything, You just apply for it, they give

(19:20):
it to you, and it's a GMRS radio that does
all pretty much identical things. Now Here is the special
part about this radio, just as it is whether the
GMRS or the Ham radio version of it. There is
a community built around this thing. If you got like three,
four or five friends with this thing, you can message
each other back and forth using the GPS system on there.

(19:46):
And I mean it's pretty incredible, guys. This thing is
setting the Ham radio world on its head. It's setting
the GMRS world on its head. And it's got APRS,
which means if you decide you want to take off
and do a hike and your significant other, your friends
or something want to keep track of you. It's all

(20:06):
programmed right into that app, and this thing will keep
sending out pings and they'll they can follow you. Now.
I know you're saying, well somebody can track me. Well, yeah,
somebody can track you anyways with your cell phone. But
I'm just saying, if you're out there in the middle
of nowhere and you don't have a cell phone or
your cell phone battery dies, you have this thing, you
can still use it. But here is the kicker, all right, now,

(20:27):
this is the thing that makes this phone or this
radio really really special. Let me get back over into Twitter.
What these guys have done with this radio is they
have and this this was a firmware update that they
just did. This radio has been out about a year
and a half, but the last firmware update they did

(20:50):
really send it over the edge. They put in there
what they call kiss TNC kiss of course meaning keep
it simple, stupid. And basically what TNC is it is, Well,
you remember your old dial up Internet and that sound
it made you know, That's what TNC is. It's basically
a connection device you can take woe AD. Now, woe

(21:15):
ad is a win link email server that you can
either send emails person to person from radio to radio,
or you can send it to a local repeater that
has wind Link properties and it will put it in
the interwebs and send it to other people's radio who
may or may not be hand radio operators. I sat

(21:35):
out on my back porch and I sent my Google
account an email from my wind Link account from a repeater.

Speaker 5 (21:43):
HM.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Good, twenty five thirty miles away with just this little handheld.
Absolutely amazing. Now it has already. I got this when
the weather was absolute crap. Okay, I'm not gonna lie
to you. I really haven't been outside messed with it
a bit. I've thrown it in my truck and kind
of messed with it. And I hooked it up to

(22:04):
my big antenna, you know, and out outside here of
my studio, and I took my tablet and I sent
an email. I was like, okay, that's cool. No, this
time I went out with just my cell phone Justice Radio.
I turned the Internet part of it off and I
sent an email through this woe ad app and it worked.

(22:25):
You can hear the radio doing its thing, buzzing, beeping
and you know, doing its thing, and my Google on
my same phone pinged and I had an email from
myself on the other app on the wind Link AP
pretty amazing. Now, what this means is is if the interwebs,

(22:46):
the internets in this area were to go down, if
there was some kind of thing happening, we didn't have power.
You know, all this stuff happened, we didn't have power.
We didn't have any way to communicate. A big disaster happened,
like in North Carolina, Tennessee, like in Florida with the
huge hurricanes we had this year. If there was a

(23:08):
repeater close to me running on battery power, which they
most of them do. If they're a functional they're running
on battery power. These guys are a hardcore. They like
to make these things where they'll operate. You know, even
when the wrath of God is hitting, I can step
outside and thirty miles away, which thirty miles is kind
of a big deal. Thirty miles will get you out

(23:29):
of a lot of problems. If you can make it
thirty miles somewhere, it'll get you out of a lot
of problems. And I can send an email using just
this little HT Now, wind Link is not anything new.
I have wind Link accounts and I can take an
HF radio, and I can send a wind Link message
five hundred one thousand miles away. It's just what you

(23:51):
can do with wind Link. It's an amazing program and
it's all done with radio waves. No I could send it.
If I had a fellow Ham radio operator in Oklahoma
or Kentucky, I can send it right to his radio
and it would you know, it would decode it and
it would go into his win Link email or or

(24:11):
there are stationed all over the United States all over
the world basically email hubs win link hubs that run
on HF And the one that I hit usually I
can hit. The best is down in Florida. I can
usually hit that baby and it's just boom. But I
can also hit the one in Texas. I can hit
a couple of them. In Oklahoma, I can hit a

(24:32):
couple of them, and i'd oh, I mean just all.
I've tried different ones all over the place, and they're
pretty easy to hit. And it doesn't take a lot
of watt it's ten watts, five watts. I've hit a
couple of them on five watts. So that little zaigu
G one O six, that little cheap under you know,
those things are now I think right at two hundred bucks,
maybe a little bit cheaper. They're they're they're really cheap.
Now I can take that, hook it up to my laptop,

(24:55):
and I can send emails total off grid emails hundreds
of miles away. Now, I'm sure if you're listening to
this show, and you've been listening to the show, that
you understand the significance of that. Okay, but the dual

(25:16):
band two meters, somebody send me your dual band radio
like the little HT, just to be able to send
something a message and hit a repeater I don't know,
twenty five miles away. If you're out doing something and
you want to send an email to somebody that you
know you're getting yourself into trouble, or you just want
to send something to your perverted message to your wife.

(25:36):
Not that I would do that, this little radio will
do it. The best part about it, though, is it's thick.
It's meaty. When you hold this thing in your hand,
you're just like, wow, it's a good quarter inch thicker
than any of my other hts. And you can stand

(25:56):
it thing up and the wind can blow and it
just sits there. That's the biggest problem I have with
handheld radios, with handheld any radios, is there so thin
that you stand them up, you sit them up and
they just fall over and I'm constantly dropping them on
the ground doing whatever. This bad boy is thick. You
sit it down and it's there. I'm impressed by that.

(26:17):
I love that. That's probably because it has GPS and
a couple other features. But the coolest part about it
is is if you've got your cell phone, you download
that app. You can program that thing right from the app,
and you can actually use the app with your cell
phone to talk on the radio. It's got a button.
You just press the button you start talking. So I
can have that radio sitting fifteen twenty feet from me

(26:41):
someplace where you know, it's getting great signal, and I
can be inside like say, oh, let's just say that.
You know, I want to communicate with somebody and you know,
line of sight. It's kind of hard to do that
with these little hts. I just grab that thing and
tack it up to the top of the ladder and
I sit down below and I'm using my phone to
It's got a button where you just talk on it

(27:02):
and it comes out the radio and you can talk
to whoever. It's just like you're using it. It's a
pretty slick radio guys. And they even make a version
of this for your car. It's like, I don't know,
fifty wats maybe something like that. I haven't really dug
into that, but I'm impressed. Just to let you know.
Now that's part of the communication. And here we go.

(27:26):
I promised you. I promised you that we were going
to do spring summer bug out Bag Survival. I just
had my truck bug out bag out and I went
through it and I didn't Yeah, this was a quick
run through, did some inventory, replaced a few things, noticed

(27:48):
I needed to do a few things, and then I
started really thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Now.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
I did some digging and I ask the Great Groc
if you don't know what Groc is, that is uh
elon musks. You can get it on X and already
so gratefully pointed out that you can do a desktop
app for it now, and then I did that. I
got it on desktop and it was beautiful. I loved it.
And I've already been yep, get some mally for our Malli.

(28:15):
That's right, already, that's that's the that's what we do
for fun. Here. I asked it. I said, what is
the most critical elements of a seventy two hour bag
based on the rule of threes? And I'm not gonna

(28:39):
lie to you.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
I'm starting to become addicted to groc Okay, I've been
using it to diagnose problems with cars. I've been using
it for a lot of stuff lately. It sat there
for a while and this is what it spit out. Okay,
I'm gonna read this to you. The survival rule of
threes is a guideline that prioritizes human needs and a
survival city. I couldn't find a lie in this, And

(29:02):
guys in chat, let me know if you do. You
can survive approximately three minutes without air, three hours without
shelter in harsh conditions, three days without water, in three
weeks without food for a seventy two hour survival bag
covering three days. The focus is on addressing the most
immediate needs within that timeframe, since seventy two hours is

(29:24):
short enough that food is less critical, though still useful
for energy and morale. And what have I been saying
all these times, you know, these years that I've been
doing this, Get some calories. The emphasis shifts to air, shelter,
and water, with some consideration for other practical needs. And
then it says, here's a breakdown of the most important

(29:46):
items based on this framework. Hang on to your butts
because here we go. Because so far, I'm not seeing
anything that I disagree with. It says, While clean air
is rarely an issue in most short term scenarios, certain
emergencies like wildfires, chemical spills, or heavy smoke can compromise
air quality for a seventy two hour bag, Ensuring breathable

(30:07):
air is a priority if the environment demands, it says,
key item, it is breaking us down into an outline
underneath us. Its key item air filtration masks e g.
N ninety five masks or respirator. This protects against smoke, dust,
or airborne contaminants. In rare cases like chemical events, a

(30:28):
more advanced respirator might be ideal, but for most seventy
two hour situations, as simple mass suffices. Solid baby, that
is solid, you know. And I really never thought much
about that until well, it was two three, four years ago.
Already we were kind of going back and forth. It's
been a while since I had already on my show,
and he said something about Hey man, you know, I'm

(30:51):
out here in California where these wildfires are just all
over the place, and I've got a you know, a respirator. Well,
I started thinking about that. Wild fires are kind of
not really common around here, but they happen. I add
one to my bag.

Speaker 5 (31:08):
Now.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
It's probably not as extensive as what some of you
have on it, but it'll keep smoke out, it'll give
you breatheable air. It was like three years ago. My god,
time flies. It's true. I've got a respirator mask with
refillable filters that you can push down in there, refollble filters.

(31:31):
I also have just a bandana you can put around
your face if you have to air three minutes, and
if you're coughing and your eyes are watering and then
things are going wrong, it's hard to see. It's hard
to get out of a situation. Endorsed one for groc
This is number two. Now it's prioritizing these first ones.
You know, three minutes without air. Number two shelter three

(31:56):
hours without shelter says. In harsh weather extreme cold, heat, heat, rain,
or win, shelter is critical to prevent hypothermia, heat stroke,
or exhaustion within hours. A seventy two hour bag needs portable,
lightweight options to protect you from the elements, and it
says key items emergency blanket Mylar. Now here's one thing,

(32:17):
a little caveat here that I mildly disagree with that. Okay,
those you have? You pulled out one of those emergency
Milar blankets. They suck. They're very small. You can't wrap
up in those. Change that to an emergency sleeping bag.
Mylar sleeping bags are like a ton bigger and you

(32:38):
can do much more. You can even make a tent
out of those. So I have changed to Mylar sleeping bags.
Or you can get bigger Mylar emergency blankets, the biggest
one you can find. Best way to do it, says
poncho or rain gear. There again, got that in my
bag doubles his rain protection anime make shift shelter EG

(33:01):
strung up with the cordage. Avoid cheap, flimsy ponchos that
tear easily. Well, I tell you what, I've got a
flat out military poncho in mind, and it's got islets.
So you can make a tent out of it. You can,
I mean it is it's hefty. And it is nice.
I love it. And it is thermal. It'll keep you know,

(33:21):
a lot of or cold out and heat in tarp
or tent. And he says this is optional. I disagree
with that. I think this is mandatory. A lightweight tarp
with a pair of cord offers more robust shelter if
space allows, though it's less critical than a blanket or
poncho for short term kit with beards, Jeff, but I

(33:42):
tell you what, anything anything with a respirator with a beard,
you get problems. Okay, so shelter, so soa far. Groc
is doing a heck of a job. Number three Water.
Now here's where Groc actually gave me an idea. It

(34:03):
presented something that I really never thought of because it's
easy just to say, okay, here's the chart. Three three three, Okay,
here's the chart. I'm good. Water says three days, so
you can survive three days without water. But this is
where I've sat and thought and went, you know, I'm
learning something here. But dehydration sets in much sooner, impairing

(34:26):
your physical and mental capacity. Since seventy two hours equals
three days, water is non negotiable. You need both. They
supply of water in a way to replenish it. Boom
right there, That is great advice. Grock nailed it. Let
me read that again to you. You can survive three
days without water, but dehydration sets in much sooner, impairing

(34:50):
your physical and mental capacity. One of the signs of
dehydration is you don't think straight and you start feeling odd,
you start feeling weak. It says seventy two hours equals
three days. Water is non negotiable. You need both a
supply and a way to replenish it. And it says
key items water minimum three leaders at least one liter

(35:11):
per day per person. One gallon or four liters is ideal.
If weight permits, which we'll go over that in a
little bit. Prepackaged water bottles are reliable and lightweight. Those
little packets are really good. Water purification tablets, got them.
Chlorine based tablets are compact and kill a broad range
of pathogens. Essential if you need to source water water

(35:33):
filter e g. A straw water straw, a small filter
like life straw allows you to drink from natural sources safely,
though it may not remove viruses. And then a container
stainless steel bottle, which is prime a single wall metal bottle,
steel stainless steel lets you boil water if needed, doubling

(35:53):
a storage All right, man, we're on our way. Grocks
nailing it.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
So.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Number four Food and as just as a reminder, groc
tells you you three weeks without food, while you can
survive weeks without food. Having some in a seventy two
hour bag maintains energy, focus and morale, especially morale, especially

(36:25):
if you're on the move. It's not the top priority,
but it still matters. Also, food equals energy. Energy keeps
you warm, says key items. High calorie nonperishable snacks, energy bars, nuts,
or dried fruit. Some of those are like two to
three thousand calories totals what you should have in there, lightweight,

(36:46):
and shelf stable, which means they can go a long
long time without having to change. Now we're going to
get into this. At the end of this, I might
run over. But you know what, you guys aren't going
anywhere tonight, right and already has as you've heard from me,
we have. We've had heavy smoke this year at all.
Three of those made it possible for me to work
without effect from it. You already's big on the respirator thing.

(37:07):
And I don't blame him. He's in a place where
you need it. He's out there in some of where
these California wildfires and all this crap are, so he
needs it. So let's talk to food. MRIs are free
dried meals optional. I have freeze dried meals. I have
freeze dried meals because they're really, really, really really light
and as long as you can find a little bit
of water, you can get them things boiled up and

(37:29):
you can go and if you have water with you,
just pour them in. We'll get to my recommendations on
top of this in a bit. So it's additional practical
considerations beyond the rule of three. Is a seventy two
hour bag benefits from tools. This is important, so listen up, guys.
A seventy two hour bag benefits from tools that support

(37:53):
these priorities and address immediate risks, such as a first
aid kit, fire starters, lighters, match faraoh rod, fair right rod,
whatever you want to call it. I have backups to
my backups with fire starter stuff because it's that important.
Stay in warm, fire provides warmp shelter support, boils, water

(38:16):
signals for help, waterproof matches or a lighter are simplest,
but know how to use fire starters, know how to
use the rods now, And I've got one of those
on my key chain. I got a little inch and
a half fair rod on my keychain. And I've got
a little multi tool that's got a really hard surface
that you can make sparks just fly everywhere with that.

(38:39):
I've showed people that they go wow, a multi toool
or a knife. Embrace the power of band and can
get multi tools with a good sharp blade. And I'm
useful for building shelter, preparing food, or cutting cordage, flashlighter,
headlamp with the batteries, remember, guys, batteries taken out of
the flashlight. Store the battery separately. One of the things

(39:00):
I did, Yep, magnesium blocks you can get is that
what you got at Harbor Freight today, Raptor you got
the voice of magnesium blocks, because I've got about six
seven of those hanging around from Harbor Freight. Every once
in a while you get them for like ninety nine
cents Harbor for God bless Harbor Free. I'm addicted to
that place. I have a problem. Anyways, Batteries out now

(39:21):
I pulled my batteries this year because it's been a
while since I've been on that bug out bag, and
I really didn't think about it. Yep, he says, yep.
That's where he got them today. And some of my
batteries were shot, they were swalling up, they didn't survive
the cold. Had to replace them all. So there you go.
Let's get the batteries out of them, otherwise you end

(39:42):
up with a crusty, nasty electronics. Now it says prioritize
list for seventy two hour bag. Yup, and we got
all that water, emergency blanket, poncho, water, pyrichy, so you've
got all of it right there, air filtration mask, water.
I just gave you the ingresed for a good seventy

(40:03):
two hour bag, A good one now here, ladies and gentlemen,
is the issue I'm staring down sixty years old this year. Okay,
although I am in good shape, better than I would
say eighty eight point eight percent of anybody my age.

(40:27):
Even though I stopped running half marathons, I still lift weights,
I still walk several miles a day. I still do
a lot of things to keep myself in shape and
in fact, I'm I'm rededicating myself to getting myself back
in you know, like damn. I've lost three and a
half pounds over the past couple of weeks because I've
been rededicating myself to getting myself back in the best

(40:48):
shape I can for my age. I'm not gonna stop
until I can't physically move, But I have new thoughts.
I have new thoughts about bug out backs. There's a
lot of things that I have taken out of the
bag because if you've got a lot of things in
the bag, you have to haul that bag. And when
you have to haul that bag, and that bag weighs

(41:10):
twenty five thirty pounds, and the first few hundred yards
is pretty simple, and after that it continues to get
very heavy. I do have a thirty pound weighted vest
that I walk in quite a bit and it helps
exactly Already, ounces are pounds. Just like when you're running,

(41:30):
once you get to that five to six mile mark.
When you're running, those little annoyances become huge annoyances. When
you reach ten miles, those huge annoyances become almost unbearable.
Same with hiking, same with having something strapped on your back.
So you have to practice. You can't just say, oh,
look I got a bug out bag. Get away to
best get the bug out bag, walk around with it

(41:51):
for a while, learn what it feels like. So I
got some new thoughts now, you know. I have gone
off on several rants about worthless things, and this one's
always made me laugh. As every survival kit alive raptors.
As I've gained ten pounds of lost a dich buddy

(42:14):
since i quit run in a half marathons, I'm right
there too. I've gone from five to eleven to five
to ten, and I've I think I've I went from
one sixty five to one seventy five. Now I'm back
going the other way anyways. Fishing kits. Every survival pack
that you buy on the market has a fishing kit.

(42:35):
Now where I live right now, that's not such a
bad idea. There's water everywhere, there's ponds, there's rivers, there's
little fishing holes everywhere. But let's face it, guys, are
you really going to want to go fishing while nukes
are dropping everywhere? Probably?

Speaker 6 (42:51):
Not.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
And I thought long and hard about each and every
one of these things that I'm talking about right now.
I thought to myself, why have fishing kit? Yes, I
have one of my bug out bag. It's part of
a kit. Are in there. And then I thought to myself, well,
here's what you do, says I never got the and
I wrote this down. These are notes to myself as
I never got to hang up on fishing kits. I

(43:14):
like fishing as much as the next guy, But are
you really going to want to sit and go fishing
in an emergency situation? You're not gonna be stranded on
a desert island. Yeah, if you're standing in the middle
of the desert, there's no water to fish. And then
I thought to myself, wait, wait, include one anyway. Get

(43:35):
that little fishing kit, that little survival bag with a
fishing kit in it. Then take a really sturdy needle
with a pretty big eyelet. Put some duct tape around
the end so you don't poke it through everything. You
don't lose. It's easier to find and put it in
that fishing kit because muscle. Those little fishing kits have

(43:59):
four six pound tests little thin fishing line. That's great
because with that little kit, you've now made it possible
to sew torn clothes, torn shoes because you know in
fishing line, man, it's pretty sturdy. Torn coats, torn shelters.

(44:20):
You can do all that with a little four or
six pound test fishing line. So get that little fishing kit.
Put a needle in it, a nice sturdy needle, you know,
because you can even your clothes, your shoes, you can
you can even sew that stuff shut if it's ripped.
It's not going to be stylish. Well, and you might
start a style, I don't know. But you can use
it nets yep, you can use it to sew nets

(44:41):
up whatever you have to do. Your tent, your your
bug out tent or your bug out shelter, your tarp.
If it gets a rip, so it shut. So yes,
get that little fishing kit. Put a nice sturdy needle
in it. And you've got a multi kit, and you
know what, and you can with it. Why not if

(45:03):
it's the end of the world when you want to
get you know, catch you a little trout, catch you
a little bass. Armageddon chic, it's right already, Armageddon chic.
You got that that fishing line sown jeans heck yeah, baby,
we're stylish here. Number two trucking poles trendy styliss, pretentious screams, millennial.

(45:35):
The beloved trekking pole or hiking poles such as it were,
is actually not a bad idea. I bought a set
back in the winter when things were you know, Amazon
had things real cheap. They're nice carbon fiber ones. They
weren't cheap cheap, but they were pretty good. Now, why
would I do that? Do I want to look like,

(45:58):
you know, am I gonna grow a man bun or
something like that? No, because where a man bun would
be as a bald spot now for me, but hear
me out. Carbon fiber's light. They fold down the mare inches.
The one I have it folds down gosh a foot
maybe sixteen inches. So you can PLoP them in your bag.

(46:22):
And they have a variety of uses and raptor I
didn't even think about that, but you're exactly right. Crutches
help you walk if you or or you can use
them as stints if you break your leg. Get to
them and put them on one side. You can adjust
them out or your arm or anything like that. Of course,

(46:44):
you can use them for fishing, because you know you
got your fishing kit right. You can tie the one
of the end of the string on that you got
about now, things about four and a half five feet.
She got a little fishing pole shelter props. Here's a
big one, okay, I've got the n screws off, and
you got a nice little carbon, nice little hard edge

(47:06):
on the end of it for rocks and stuff like that.
Use it for a center pole, and if you got
two of them, you put one on each center pole.
Have a lean to type prop with your with your
tarp and with a little bit of parent cord, a
couple of tent steaks and a nice seven by four
foot you know, harbor freight free or dollars ninety nine tarp.

(47:30):
You've got yourself a little shelter. If you've got a
bigger tarp like I've got my truck, he can put
them in the middle and you've got your little v tents.
And the thing about it is is the handles that
are on him are nice rubbery so they don't poke
through the tarp. They're nice and soft so they don't
poke through the tarp. Great for that. A weapon for critters,

(47:55):
snake removal, rabbit trash pandas toothy rabbits. A good whack
is all you need. Now not too hard though. These
things are not meant for combat. Do you never know
you have to pull you know, you poke dead things,
you know, see if they're still alive. We got your
little uh, your little trekking poles. You can poke dead things.
Here's one for me, a near vertical incident skywave antenna

(48:19):
prop NBIS antenna is only a few feet off the ground.
These are a few feet off the ground. If you
basically get these propped up, you know, with a little
bit of a pair of card and a little bit
of uh, you know, anchored down there a little bit,
you can put wires between them, make yourself a twenty
maybe eighteen meter you know, there's just a ten meter

(48:42):
even little NBIS antenna. Make some contacts if you have to,
if you've got you know, like if you're a nerd
like me and you got a little bit of tiny
ham radio and your bug out there you go. So
trekking poles. I'm adding that to mine. Already did already
added it, did it did? Here's a big one. And

(49:03):
for some reason I've been on this kick lately. A
solar battery charger kit. I've got a nice hefty little
solar charge you know it's got a solar panel on
one side, but it's a battery charger, is basically what
it is. And I know if the proverbial do doo
hits the fan, you may or may not want a
phone radio whatever, but I'm a big advocate for phones, radios.

(49:27):
Your little bow fang that you guys have been buying,
they all need to charge, right and maybe you scavenge
another battery powered gizmo that needs a little zap, needs
a little charging. Well, you go on to Amazon and
buy these pretty decent And I've been using this one
for probably two years now. It's it's solar charges and

(49:49):
I've ran that thing down to nothing, threw it out
in the sun for about yeah, four or five hours,
came back out and it was full right up again,
and it charges. It'll charge two, three, four phones and everything.
I mean, it really is good. It adds a little weight,
but the offset may be worth it. If you're out
in the middle of nowhere and you got a battery pack,

(50:10):
your phone's almost dead, or your bowlfang's almost dead, or
you want to listen to the radio, it's almost dead.
Of course, my little shortwave radio that's in my bug
out bag as a solar charger on it. So now
I've got two sources of solar charging, so that's good.
And of course communications bowl fang a little cheap twelve

(50:33):
dollars radios and if they die, you don't care. Or
better yet, this little b tech uv pro I've got that.
I can send emails and everything else. I'm out in
the middle of La La Land, you know, trying to
survive I don't know, tornado or something like that. I
can still send messages all the way to my kids
miles and miles away, just using a little handheld. And

(50:53):
even the GMRS version, guys that you know, if you
don't have your tech license yet for ham radio, that
GMRS version. Yeah, it costs a little bit to get
your GMRS license, but you have to take a test.
All you got to do is apply what thirty five
forty bucks something like. Guess it's not that it's insignificant.
It's a good addition. But anyways, it's better to have

(51:14):
some something communicate, get your bio fang, you know, and
in case of emergency, have your pre programmed with local repeaters.
I suggest you get your license and practice practice practice,
because how are you going to know how to do
what I'm doing. If you don't practice, if you don't
get your license, how are you going to know how

(51:35):
to send a win link email, an APRS packet to
show people where you are, et cetera, et cetera. You're
not gonna be able to. Now, those are the things
I've added, Rapper. If you use gr GMRS around your property,

(51:58):
check out the GMRS version of that B tech radio
that I just posted in there. You can dig around
on that b tech website and they got a GMRS
out there. Pretty darn cool. Get the boys one. You
can track them, you know where they are, and you
can send text messages back and forth with these things too.
It's pretty neat just saying, okay, now, things you don't need.

(52:26):
I took some things out, some things that I won't buy.
Have you ever seen those hokey credit card survival kits? Oh,
you can put these in your pocket? What are you
trying to survive? Okay, if you want to buy one.
If you really see those credit card they're metal their
credit card size, and so you got twenty five tools

(52:49):
and this little credit card size survival kit. Buy one
and see what you can do with it. Maybe there's
something you can do with it. I don't know. I
didn't see anything that looked anywhere near survivally to me.
Take it out and see exactly what it can be
used for or what you can replace that you already

(53:10):
have in your bug out bag. Maybe you'll find something useful,
I don't know, or maybe you'll slice your fingers and
you get to use that nifty first aid kit that
you just put in your survival bag, because that's pretty
much all I've seen that those things are good for.
They're sharp, metal blade looking things, and I don't know,
don't waste your money. Don't waste your money, and I

(53:32):
you know, I still want to do this, guys, just
to chase a rabbit for a minute. Sitting outside across
the street from my house right now is a huge, giant,
whopping roll of fiber optic cable. They are going to
put major fiber optic internet down my road finally, thank god.

(53:55):
Once that's in and my wife and I've already agreed
on a pretty high fiber optic plan, I'm going to
be able to actually do some of these things I'm
talking about, these radios stuff like that. I'm actually gonna
be doing videos of them. That is my goal when
they get this thing in doing reviews on some of

(54:16):
this stuff and having videos right there. So there you go.
And what I want to do is I want to
get some of these survival kids. I want to buy them,
and I want to spread them out all over my
little purple mat here, and I want to show you
what can you do with this? What can you do

(54:36):
with that? Way? Why would you have this? I want
to get radios and show you what I've got here
so you can see them. I could turn them on
and show you in live time. That's kind of my plans.
So anyways, I want to get some of these survival
kits and find out just exactly what's in them and
what you could use to survive, you know, nuclear holocaust.

(54:57):
I'm all good. I got my little metal credit card
tool things here, No big dale, I'm sad. Bring on
the Holocaust anyway. It's number two survival cookies. Have you
ever seen them things that say, oh, the Navy uses
these to survive on boats. Lord have mercy? Have you
ever tasted one of them things? I highly recommend you

(55:19):
get like a small sample of one of these and
take a big bite of it and try to chew it.
They're nasty, they're disgusting. You would probably get more nutrition
from dirt. Forget the survival cookies. Okay, they're really heavy,
they're really dense, and it's like chewing an eraser off

(55:41):
a chalkboard. Forget about it. They're gross and they need
to go away. Get yourself some dehydrated snacks, trail mix
jerky and keep it swapped out. Have a regiment. Practice
a little bit of self responsibility. If you got beef
jerky in your bug out bag and it goes bad,
replace it and you know the dog doesn't care. If

(56:04):
it's a little bit overde. You get to the dog,
say here, everybody, here's some trees. They love it. That's
what I do. I haven't had her complain yet. Freeze
dried meals will outlast you. You'll probably be dead and
gone before the freeze dried meals go bad. Or MRIs.
MRIs are kind of cumbersome. They gotta weighty, but let
me tell you what, they got serious calories. You'll also

(56:27):
be taking some serious poops too, So don't forget the
toilet paper and raptors got a good point. You ever
tried to get a kid to eat bark well, yeah,
but it's kind of funny kids, will you know, bulk
at some things? But you have to walk around and like,
I don't know, put dirt in your mouths. So so yeah,

(56:50):
the survival cookies. You remember, you have to eat this
stuff you put in your bag someday. These things are
a last resort. I don't know. Maybe have some stuff
in your house somewhere in case it's just the end
of times and this is the last thing you could
possibly eat to stay alive. It's either this or death.
Maybe you can have one of them cookies. Maybe you

(57:10):
prefer to die. I don't know, but people, we have
morales to keep up here. So be conscious of what
you put in your mouth, and then I beg of you.
I beg of you. Look at your surroundings. Look at
your surroundings. Look what's in your bug out bag, and
do some imagining. Do you really need a hatchet, a spear,

(57:35):
a giant rambo knife and mid level explosives and a small,
high botchy grill in your bug out bag? Bringing it
up to a fifty five pound bag that you're gonna
have to lug around. I think it maybe not pick one.
You'd be amazed at what you can do with just

(57:56):
a simple knife. With a good locking blade, you can
make a spear out of it. You can even make
a hatchet out of it if you've got your head
out of your button, if you do a little thinking.
Those giant Rambo knives. Well at the Chinese invade and
you gotta you know, or zombie hordes or whatever. Already

(58:19):
I had to think, really, the mid level explosives, is
that something you really want to give up? I know
you don't need them, but mid level explosives, eh, I mean,
they could be a great distractant. If you're really getting attacked,
you can set off some mid level explosives and disappear.
So there you go. We are already back to the

(58:42):
top of the hour. I hope you learn something today.
Now keep this time of year. It's March. You got
a few more months. I still have my heavy duty
car hearts, all of my heavy duty boots, all that
crap in the in the truck. Okay. I have also

(59:05):
found these collapsible tarp poles. They go all the way
up to eight foot and they go all the way
down to like, I don't know, two feet. I put
those in my truck too, because when I do parks
on the air for you know, Ham radio stuff last
year and the year before, it's just like, oh my gosh,
it's so freaking hot out here. I've got no shade.

(59:25):
I found these things on sale and they extend out
and they're pretty sturdy, and they just poke right through
the islets of your tarp and you just put ropes
on them and you're good to go. And they got
little caps that go to the top of the ropes
that keep it, you know, during any kind of wind,
and you just put some stakes in the ground. I'm
going to tie it to the back of my truck
with a tarp and have shade this year. I'm kind

(59:46):
of happy about that, just so you know. But look
at your surroundings. Do some imagining. Find the things that
you really need, and find the things.

Speaker 6 (59:56):
You know.

Speaker 1 (59:56):
If you threw something in that bag and says, well,
you never know, I might need that, well, can you
make do with something else? Can you make do with
something out in the wild? Already? Pounds matter when you're
having to trek thirty forty fifty miles to get out
of harm's way. That brings us back to the top

(01:00:18):
of the hour. Guys, you've got your marching orders. Tent
poles at camping stores are great, Raptor, but there again,
those trucking poles, those are pretty cool too. My whole
truck is basically a survival truck at this point in time,
and I'm surprised it's still surviving. I've almost got two

(01:00:38):
hundred thousand miles on that thing, man, and it's really
getting rough. I don't care. I'm gonna drive it till
it drops. I love it. I'm Alan Ray. This is
Sunday Night with Alan Ray. Keep it locked at kayl
Iron Radio all week long, Sunday through Saturday night, just
all week. We've got the greatest and podcast excellence, and

(01:01:01):
you also got me. I think I'll be back next week.
I'm not going to make any promises because I've got
some things going on. I'll let you know ahead of time,
but I'm gonna be in Toledo. I'm gonna be doing
some stuff down there. We'll see if I get back
on time to do the show. If not me, you'll
see it on X. I am too, Cynecal sixty five

(01:01:22):
on X. That's all you really need to find me
on I mean, I'm on Facebook. If you really wanted
to look for me, I'm out there. Trust me, you
can find me quite easily. But God bless you, God
bless America. We're gonna talk again soon. Hopefully this little
uh proper thing helped you out your seventy two hour bag.

(01:01:46):
Don't wait. Don't wait, guys, don't wait until his emergency
and say, you know what, I should have had this ready. Now.
Now is the time to get this stuff ready. Get
a bug out bag, get one in your vehicle, have another,
grab and go bags sitting in your house. Be ready.
We've learned last year with North Carolina, the floods, with Florida,

(01:02:10):
the hurricanes that results in the floods of North Carolina, Tennessee, California, California, wildfires,
Hawaii with their wildfires. There was a wildfire just down
the road from me a couple or last week, right
by my brother's house. Okay, it's out there, and you

(01:02:31):
don't have to be obsessive compulsive. You don't have to
sit there and wring your hands and go, oh my gosh,
get the stuff. Practice with the stuff, have fun with it.
It's just like ham radio. You know, we all know
in the ham radio community that when it really hits
the fan, people are going to rely on us for communications.
But in the meantime we screw at each other. We

(01:02:52):
have fun, we do things, we have events, We you know,
we do all kinds of stuff. But we always know
that things may go south. If things go south, you'd
better be ready to have the communication and of your
area of your community down pat so people can figure
out what's going on. Same thing with these bug out bags.

(01:03:14):
You may never have to use them. I suggest you
use them. I suggest you pull things out. I suggest
you get your little your little metal cup out, your
little titanium cup out, and your little es bit stove out,
and you make coffee, You make some freeze dried food
in there, learn how to do it, how to do
in high winds, do it for fun that way, when

(01:03:37):
it's not fun, you know how to do it. And
you are an asset, not a casualty, not a liability.
Hopefully I'll see you next week, God bless we'll talk
again soon. Chairs don't have to do to take
