Speaker 1 (00:47):
One of those resources that we're looking at right now,
especially during the holiday season.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Is this something called blackseed oil.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I don't know if you've ever heard of black seed oil,
but according to the Internet, in the interwebs, seat is
the cure for everything but death. So I highly recommend
that you pick up some black seed oil. It's like
got some fantastic It works for a boostsummunity, healthy skin,

Speaker 2 (01:43):
That's where you go to pick those up.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
There's all kinds of other great fantastic supplements there, but
black seed oil and liver support is all highlight for
this evening show. We are going to talk about some
exciting things. Guys, Scott, Shane and Paris. We're all here
tonight and we're all here excited to share our idea.
What how you guys feeling, Scott Shane, how you doing excellent?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
I'm I'm hanging in there. Honestly, everyone knows I got
a bad back and uh, disintegrating everything. So yeah, it's yesterday,
tweaked and I'm just like, I can hardly get into.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
The house, thankfully.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
I've I'm a prepper, and I've stockpiled muscle, relaxers and
uh white willow. And yeah, we're feeling pretty decent enough
to do a podcast. So we're we're here.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Let's go nothing nothing that a couple of drugs can't
fix that.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
What you're saying, well, herbal remedies and drugs. We're gonna
get medication prescribed. Let's let's clarify so the YouTube algorithm
doesn't get mad at me. This is your entertainment and
educational purposes only, right, But yeah, I'm telling you, man
stockpiling stuff, right, The stuff we need comes in so handy,

(03:04):
Like I cannot tell you how many times I'm like,
oh I need this, I've got a lot of those,
and go to the storage room or go to the
garage or like that's in ben forty seven. Let's go
pull beIN forty seven out. Okay, we're gonna use one
of these, We're gonna add it to the list, put
it on the shopping list, and the next time we
go get another one. And so we're just constantly rotating.
I feel like that I don't know it's just the

(03:27):
normalcy of life. I don't know if I know you
guys act this way, but like you use something, you
put it on the list, go resupply, like we It's
the only thing that I ever like run out of
are things like super glue or or lit clear little
tape for wrapping presents, because my kids use that all

(03:48):
day long everywhere. You're like, how do we run out of?
We just bought twelve rolls where they all go if
I use them as traps around the house.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
What you need to put that on the list so
we can replace him.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, it was funny.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
My wife and I were we were we had a
hankering for some cereal for dinner the other night, and
so we went down. We're like, where's that one cereal
we used to get that was so good. I'm like, oh, yeah,
let's go get that. We went down and got the
box right.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Oh, well expired two weeks ago.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
It's still good, you know.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
So sometimes you got to make sure that you're that
you are actually rotating those things from so that you
can have fresh you know. Honestly, there's a I just
saw I don't know where it was, but I just
saw like a headline of our expiration dates real and
in some cases they are, but I think in other cases,

(04:39):
in majority of cases, they're just kind of that sia,
you know, psyop to get us to think that we
need to go out and buy more of the stuff
and we really don't need to.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
So do you add the Jase Medical CEO on And
we talked about that very thing with like antibiotics, He's like,
government has like a twenty six year supply of antibiotics
that they don't rotate. This is like, uh wait, what's
just happened all the expiration dates everything, like, yeah, it's
so it's experts.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
He did mention a study that was done during the
COVID time because I guess they're running out of out
of meds and said, well, really, what is the shelf
life of these so uh and if I remember correctly,
which I probably don't, uh, is somewhere around at about
seven years they still have ninety percent potency something like that. Wow.
So so yeah, best by dates.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
So this is this is one of my ones I
just talked to. I've I've got allergies like crazy. This
is my version of an EpiPen AVQ. And this one,
this one's about to expire. But what's funny is is
I talked to my my allergy doctor and he's like, dude,
those expiration dates are so wrong. And I'm like, really,
what are they? He goes, They're good for at least

(05:52):
seven years. I've got some on hand that are like
ten years old. We had a kid get a beasting
at my pool this summer, and guess who broke that
sucker out and save the kid this I'm like, are
you a prepper? He's former Air Force, he goes, I
would call myself a prepper, but I'm prepared.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
That word is not terribly important anymore. But you know,
one thing I wanted to kick out there is that
before we really dive in deep, is that I've been
over the past several years, I've been pretty intense and
trying to keep a lot of stuff in stock, as in,
keep my shelves full and with certain things. You know what,
Let's use toilet paper as an example. There's you know,

(06:38):
when there was a run on toilet paper during the
COVID time. Right toilet paper is made locally, right, it's
gonna be pretty easy to get and there's ways around that. Yes,
it's awfully nice and convenient, but there are certain things
we can do without. And there are certain things that
I had been stocking up on and rotating which I

(07:00):
could honestly do without in an emergency. So I've really
kind of pared back on those things and then also
started stocking up on some of these things we're gonna
talk we're gonna talk about that are long term, right,
they don't have to rotate as much, that may lose
some And we're not gonna talk about food, right because
this is beyond that. But you know, some things may

(07:22):
lose some efficiency, like meds or whatever, but still still
are important to have a large quantity of because I
think we at one point we'll get to where certain
things you just can't get anymore. They just won't be available,
and then what are you gonna do and how long
do you survive without them? So that's kind of where

(07:43):
my thoughts are focused.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Good point, So shall we just dive right in.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Yeah, Well, first comment here, let's I'll put this up
here real quick, is that Joseph started making handmade soaps,
and that's been on my list for a long time. Honestly,
I've been actually buying some recently, some handmade soaps, and
I absolutely love them. It's I was a little bit hesitant,
of course, because my brainwashing my whole growing up. All

(08:14):
I use is a bar soap, that's it. I don't
use any store bought detergents or anything obviously for laundry
and such a dishwasher, but on my body, I'm only
using handmade soaps, and so I need to do that also,
which means I should probably stuck up and Joseph stuck
up on some of the ingredients needed for handmade soaps,

(08:37):
which include lie, which is caustic soda or sodium hydroxide.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Right, we need to be telling the truth, so Shane, okay,
go for it.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
We can't be lying.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
Oh geez, you are. You are a dad joker Dad
mode tonight. So yes, lie as in is in, Yes,
sodium hydroxide, and you know I've also got lime on
my list as well, calcium hydroxide, which is used for
pickling and such. But back to soaps. Obviously, you can

(09:10):
improvise the caustic soda with ash from a fire, right
you can. I think you can refine that, and I
don't have on the tip of my tongue. But if
there's something you do that's going to support your family
in trade or or just making soaps for your own

(09:31):
family or candle making. Have those supplies in abundance on hand,
because maybe they're easy to get where you live, or
maybe they're not. But I think it'd be good to
identify that and figure out exactly what you should keep
in stock and how much and how long it's going
to last, and really stretch that and push that.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
That's funny because like I remember as a kid, I
grew up in originally in Idaho and then move to Colorado.
But like as a kid, we'd go camping up in
the mountains near what's called Palisades, kind of on the
border of Home and Wyoming, and they'd always cut down
a tree. We'd always use the firewood. And my my

(10:09):
grandma's brothers, my great uncle, he would be like, save
the ash, save the ash, don't don't bury the ash,
save the ash, And I'm like, what are you, what
are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Then unfortunately, put stuff for soap man. Unfortunately, here in
Utah we don't have much in the way of hardwoods, right,
they have pine, but so maybe you do need to
stuck up on that caustic soda on that lie for sure.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah, because he made his own soaps and that's his generation.
Here's what they grew up with, Like they grew up
with an outhouse, they grew up making their own soaps.
They grew up in like there's seven kids in the
family and they had a three bedroom little house farm.

(10:55):
And the stories are fantastical, like as they're processing chickens,
they just pop the head off, drop it in the dirt,
and they'd go run around for a little bit. And
there are stories of the dead, headless chickens chasing my
dad and his brothers, and it was fantastical and hilarious
and fun. But it's like we're we're like thirty seconds

(11:15):
away from that lifestyle and most of us aren't ready
for it.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
M hm.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
You're talking about the uh the minutes to midnight yesty
doomsday clock. There we go.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
I did a video of that just the other day
on on social so nice, uh not to that.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
Yeah, you're absolutely.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Right having ash like you can use that for so
many different things, but lie specifically, like there are just
so many good uses.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
You can can add it to your garden. Again, depending
on you if it's pine or whatever type of ash
and what you're growing, you need to know. You don't
want to put it on tomatoes, but it can help
change the pH of your soil for depending on what
you're going. So that's that's one thing I when I
clean out my my wood stove, I stashed that in
the pile in a bucket, and we plan on using it.

(12:12):
So I'm I'm becoming one of the guys, you know.
I keep all the number ten cans that I use,
and I stuck that in the corner, and like those
kind of containers and boxes.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
That's actually on my list of things to stockpile. Okay,
used containers, right, I have. I have a stockpile of
clean food grade buckets all used, like we have. We
have a custard shop down the street and they get
all their food ingredients in these huge food grade buckets.
The raspberry sauces and syrups and everything like all this stuff,

(12:48):
and so we asked them for their buckets one time,
and the guys like, what are you going to use
these for? I'm like food grade storage. He's like, that's brilliant.
We just tossed these away all the time. Yeah, I
had like eighty buckets pand them out across the whole neighborhood.
Who needs buckets?

Speaker 2 (13:02):
How big are they?

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Fantastic? Five gallon?

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah, little five gallon buckets, they're phenomenal. These are actually
they're the five gallons, they're the taller ones. But yeah,
they're food grade, they're durable, they're fantastic, they'll reseal. But
extra cans containers, any type of container can get. Specifically buckets,
empty tin cans, number tens are fantastic, but also Mason

(13:28):
jars with lids, extra rings, extra lids to seal it,
like you got to have and yeah, you bet your
ash you got to have these things. Thank you Field
Tech for that. Oh that's a good dad joke. Oh man.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Yeah, but buckets, like you say, buckets. Absolutely, I go
through quite a few buckets just in yard chores and
so forth. I mean my line of business. Uh, we
go through a lot of buckets. And we found certain
sources like that we can reuse for our process. Food
manufacturing companies that their product comes in buckets or even
larger pails or drums, and they can be either had

(14:11):
really cheap or sometimes free. So a nice stash of
those will come in handy at some point on the
on the farm.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Another idea for those is that at some point if
you have to if your water storage goes out, then
how are you going to carry water from wherever whatever
stream or river or lake that you're at. And if
you you know, in Africa, I was watching a video
recently about this guy in Africa who he's in the
Congo and he sells He goes to another village that

(14:40):
has an abundance of bananas and he it's eighteen miles away.
He rides a bike eighteen miles, buys a bunch of bananas,
rides all the way back home to his town, and
sells the bananas for a profit. And that's that's what
he does. And so I'm like, what a resourceful guy.
But then you also see all these stories of these ladies.
Usually these ladies, sorry guys, I'm sure there's some guys

(15:02):
that do it too, but usually these ladies who are
in charge of getting the water every day, and some
of them have to walk four or five miles and
you get they get the stick and then they have
a bucket on one side and a bucket on the
other side. They fill them up and then they walk
with that stick over their shoulders all the way home.
And that's something that will probably if we don't have wheelbarrows,
which is another one of the items I'm going to

(15:25):
bring up later is tools that we should have stockpile,
and we should be stockpiling. But those buckets would be
great for hauling water as an option to too, So
that's good, good idea.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
You know the technical term for that stick that you
carry the water with, what is it, shoulder yoke?

Speaker 2 (15:42):
A shoulder yoke, Yeah, nice.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Got a good I got a good shoulder yoke in
the garage with little notches on the edges so the
buckets don't slide off.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
So I am I am prepared to be my own oxen.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
Yeah. And on that same line as well, on my list,
I also have canning supplies, including like mile our bags.
I am not proficient or the best at canning or
food food preservation at the moment, but you know, because
of the food stores I have, I will have some
time to work on that process right when it comes

(16:19):
down to it, and I am slowly, you know, learning
more about that as well, so it won't be baptism
by fire, but I think just to have those things
on hand, so you're not scrambling in the end, or
it's most likely and to be honest, these are things
that are most likely going to be forgotten when they
when it hits the fan, right, you're going to say, think, oh,
I'm out of milk or cheese or whatever. I got

(16:40):
to get to the store and top things off. Are
you going to think about do I have the tools
I need? Do I have the canning supplies? Or is
it going to get to the point where, like, hey,
I had a good, good crop of cucumbers, what am
I going to do with it now? Right? I'm gonna
pickle them and can them, but I don't have what
I need. So that's how I on my list.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
So one of the things I like to do right
now is I go to estate sales because at estate
sales you can find all the canning supplies usually and
because those yards go forever, the older the jar that
actually better. I found that they last longer, but canning
supplies and old tools. I got a draw knife, I

(17:22):
got a couple of good hand hand saws. Going to
those types of sales here in Utai, you gotta kind
of wait until till well, obviously until someone passes away
but they usually do those in the spring and fall
and all summer, like yard sales and stuff too. Like.
But it's funny because those old tools they last longer.

(17:45):
I saw a meme on social media. This lady's like
my blender broke, so I had to get my borrow
my mom's blender, and it just so happened to be
that it was my mom's mom's blender, and that thing's
still working. And now I firmly believe that they landed
on the moon because we don't make stuff like they
used to.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
I saw that. I saw that too the other day.
Came across my feet. We must be on the same algorithm.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
We are prepping. It's there, Okay, next next topic.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
I guess also along those same lines, I've got vinegar
on my list. Okay, it lasts for a quite a while,
so I think the last vinegar I bought is good
for two and a half three years maybe on the
best buy dates right on. So pretty easy to store,
pretty easy to rotate. We use a lot, you know,
use it in our laundry as well as you know,
in cooking and so forth, so we go through that

(18:38):
fairly quickly. So I got vinegar, I got some others
as well, but.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
I kind of threw that in with cleaning supplies and
I just said, like bleach and wipes and laundry so too,
like other stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Because vinegar is.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
A natural disinfectant and that's a huge thing.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Well, and you can make vinegar pretty easily. You just
need a distillation system, right, because you're gonna distill it.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
Yeah, but I'll be prepared for obviously to do that
and have the stuff you need.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah, but you can, you can. I mean, shoot, here's
the thing. Most of us. Our goal is to outlast
everybody else, right, And when everybody else is gone, you're
gonna go out rummaging for stuff. You're not gonna be
like looking for people's food because you're gonna know it's
all gone. But you're like, oh, I need some copper piping.
Oh I need a bin like a metal container that

(19:28):
I can cook with. Right, you can fashion your own,
build your own distillation systems. Still, like think about all
dukes of hazard. The whole show is about distillation of
liquids that were not allowed at the time. Like get creative.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
That's true, sound good.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
And they did have a pretty awesome car too that
they like to jump quite a bit.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yeah, their doors didn't work, so I don't know.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
My back as it is, I need doors. But yeah,
there's an like. Yeah, there's definitely a learning curve, both
the canning and distillation. Anything you make, there's a learning curve.
You gotta figure it out. The more you practice now
the better. But I noticed you said vinegar. Did you
say borax?

Speaker 4 (20:15):
Borax?

Speaker 3 (20:16):
I love I love having borax on hand.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
And of course baking soda as well.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
Yes, And lots and lots of salt because you can
use that for food preservation and for making your food
not taste so gross in the apocalypse, right.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
And get healthy salt. Don't get this iadized crab. Get
the Himalayan but we're speaking of it. Speaking of expiration dates,
I saw this Himalayan salt, million year old Himalayan salt
expires in two years. Yes, it's a million year old
Himalayan salt. It's not expiring in two years.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
Obviously, as Himalayan salts have a lot of heavy metal,
so stay away from that. Get Redman's or Baja Gold.

Speaker 4 (20:58):
Yeah, yeah, you know, with with with salt, obviously it's
better to have some than none. So obviously the twenty
five pound bags you get at the grocery store, the
table salt you know, which is you know, either iodized
or not. You know what it's you know, ten to
twelve bucks for something for twelve twenty five pound bag
something like that, it's fairly cheap. Where'd you go with
the Redmond? You know, I bought a I think a

(21:19):
fifty pound bag or maybe a twenty five pound bag
for like one hundred bucks. So it's a lot more expensive,
but definitely a lot better for your health. And you
know that's something we see in our feeds a lot
as lately as well, is that we're seeing more and
more health tips which include salt is not bad for
your blood pressure. Maybe table salt is right, But again

(21:41):
we're not lies all the time, so salt is essential.
We're an electrical system. We have to have the electrolytes,
this salt in our system, and so to cut out
salt of our diet is is is not good. But
have good like pairents that have good salt, like the
Redmond salt which actually has like minerals in addition to

(22:03):
uh salt. What is the sodium Yeah, the table salt
has just salt in sodium, but Redmonds is local to
us here, so yeah, a lot easier for us.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
But yeah, any any like Redmond's or Baja Gold or
even Celtic, which is isn't as good as it used
to be. They have, all of them have at least
sixty minerals plus. Right, Redmand's and Baja Gold have to
the higher counts. But you can if you don't have
one of those, if you live near sea life, you
can go get some. You can go get some seaweed

(22:37):
and turn that's that's got a ton of or sea
moss that's got a ton of minerals too. So the
more the better. The minerals you need, the minerals you
need the electrolytes, you need those things to help everything
else process and work better, optimize.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
Yeah, centers of her pedia light in electrolyte. Yeah, sure, absolutely,
anything like that that has long shelf life, shelf life,
and you think you'll salt water is going to everybody
that along shelf life. I would think, you know, who
knows what else is in that particular brand, But uh,
you know, I've seen people store you know, kind of
we're getting a bit on the food which you were

(23:11):
gonna stay away from, uh people store, you know, energy
drinks or rather what do I think protein drinks? Right
that you can get a bulk from from Costco or whatever.
They do have a shelf life, but that's a pretty dense,
you know, emergency meal.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
But well, if you need electrolytes, baking, soda and salt mix,
SAT and water, you're good to go. All right, let's bounce,
let's bound.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yeah. Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
Should we go back to tools and talk tools? Sure, yeah,
all right, I'm a big like Okay, you can go
get them anywhere. But hand tools, the more hand tools
the better because you don't need power besides yourself. Right, Yeah,
have some power tools that they're great as long as
you've got a power generator and either a fuel source
or or solar panels or whatever. Right, hand tools are

(24:03):
so amazing. Hand tools, saws, screwdrivers, nails. Have I have
so many nails stocked up in the garage, screws, screws,
like hammers, different types of hammers, demolition hammers, like, have
a really good set of tools, and not just that,
but like mechanic tools, things to work on your car,

(24:26):
gardening tools, all the stuff you need to take care
of your property. Right, those types of tools are gonna
be so necessary when everything goes awry. You're gonna stop
mowing your lawn and you're gonna replace it with a garden. Right,
You're gonna expand all that space into edible landscape if
you are.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
I think in the genre of tools, it's not specifically
a tool, although macguiver might be able to argue it,
but I think it would be good to like stockpile
duct tape, Like how many things conduct tape solve and
do and help with.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
I mean that's me.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
You shoot, you you run into a situation you get.
I mean, if you're want to go full mc iver,
you store duct tape and paper clips and you'll be
able to fix anything.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Well.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
Back on the tools, you know, part of my tools
list is cutting tools, right, acts, saws, just knives. I mean,
just think of all the types of knives that can
come in handy from simple you know, fileting knives to
chopping knives, survival knives. Of course it's good ki yeah,
absolutely a lot of uses for for you know, butcher knives,

(25:32):
for different different types of knives and uh you know,
you know as as survivalists. You know, one knife can
do it all, but it doesn't do everything very well.
So it's it's good to have a good selection of
quality knives or a whole bunch of cheap ones, right
that you'll work through, you know, from processing your food

(25:52):
and in your garden, but also your you know, firewood,
you've got to have, you know, be able to split
your wood and cut your wood efficiently because you know,
I've got chainsaws and gas, but that won't last very long. Yeah,
you know that season or two.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Maybe let me piggyback on what you're saying, Shane, real fast.
Use because if you're gonna have a bunch of knives,
you're gonna have to have a way to sharpen them.
And so make sure you get a bunch of wetstones specifically,
and and those run down. I mean, you'll one good
so strong whetstone can last a long time, but eventually
it might wear down. So I would say, stockpile a
couple of wetstones. I think I have five or six wetstones.

(26:27):
I don't know if that's enough, but it's it'll get
I know, it'll last me a while. And then after that,
I don't you know, maybe there's another way to sharpen
knives that some cowboy will teach.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Me somehow somewhere that I don't know about.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
But I think have a wetstone for sure is going
to help.

Speaker 4 (26:44):
Yeah. Absolutely, And you know, I think also along those
same lines is having components, having parts service. If you
have a tractor and you know that you've got to
change the gear oil, you know you've got to you
need new plugs or you know whatever, the components that
were out the most on whatever you use, have those

(27:06):
and just rotate through those, just like you would, you know,
your food supplies.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
I used to think it was so weird the all
these old men as a kid, all these old men
with their jars of screws of like all kinds of
weird size shaped screws and nuts and everything. Right, Who
has those? Now?

Speaker 4 (27:24):
Yeah? We inherited it, Munch myself. Yeah, and I love it.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
It's like I'm like, oh, I'm so glad. There's been
so many times you're like, crap, I lost the screw
for this piece. When we go check the jars and
you find it.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Have you seen that?

Speaker 1 (27:40):
There's another meme too that I saw a little video
of reel of a dad and his son and they're
working to like stabilize something and make it level, and
they just need another couple of inches. And the dad
looks at the sun right eyes, and he runs into
the garage and runs into the shed and like runs
past like all these digs up, all these other things,

(28:01):
and he finds that one piece of two by four
that he's saved for the last ten years, and he's like,
I knew I would need this two by four piece
of two by four because it was the exact size
to be able to level off that piece of furniture
or something. And I just laugh at that because that's
so true. Like gus guys were such, you know, for
the lack of saying it. We're some someone preppers can
be somewhat of horder, so you gotta be careful with it.

(28:23):
But at the same time, it's like, you know what,
we should stockpile some of these things because.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
We know what's voluable what's not valuable. And that does
take some experience. You can't keep everything because it's just
then it's just clutter. It's too much, Yeah, And that
takes some experience. It takes you know, ten, fifteen, twenty
years to where you get to a point where like, Okay,
I don't need to keep so much of this. I'll
keep a little bit of it and get rid of
the rest.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Well, it's funny because there's like first daid. You need
as much first date as possible.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
Right.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
More importantly, you need to know how to replace it,
make more of it. We're going to move from all
these cohesive bandages to knowing how to actually treat, seal
wrap and do everything else you need to do for wounds.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
Right.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
I was talking to somebody, oh, my wife the other
day about my father in law. They think he broke
his leg and they're like, but they can't send him
through the MRI because he has metal replacement knees. And
they're like, oh, that'll kill him, right, So like what
can we do. Well, we'll have to just do more
X rays and see if you can get the right angle.
And I'm like, just use a tuning tuning fork and

(29:29):
they're they're like what, I'm like, use a tuning fork.
My doctor used to like diagnose our broken bones with
tuning forks. It has another vibration, but yeah, and you
find out where it is really fast. But it was
I was talking to another medical doctor, and he's like,
it's the fastest way to detect a bone, like to
find out where it's broken and to know if it's

(29:50):
broken or not. Is one of these bone testing Yeah,
somebody probably knows what it's called.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
Yeah, I'm looking at right now. But and I'm like,
but they make before that purpose.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
I do have some Yeah, I actually got a tuning fork.
It's like a four thirty two or five what is
I think it's a four thirty two turning tuning fork.
And what you do is if you have like a
joint pain or something like that, you you bang the
thing and you put that on your knee and it
like vibrates that healing vibration into your into your knee

(30:21):
or into your joint, if your elbow or whatever, and
it helps you become healthy. You know, some of these
old you know today in our in our society today,
we might think, well, that's quackery, but the reality is
is that there's some reality to vibrations.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
And healing frequencies.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
And if we can stockpile even some of that stuff,
because you know, medicine might run out. Herbs, you can
grow them, but what if you have a the crop
doesn't happen and you need it. So there's other things
too that I think are important to stockpile that are
health related, like maybe a tuning fork or a healing
fork or or some kind of stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
You know, That's what I was thinking just now.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
Yeah, absolutely, you know. On my list, I have, of
course medical supplies, but I also have essential oils. We
use that a lot around our house. I you know,
I have a daughter that works at Dota, so we
get a lot of it for free, and we have
for a long time, and so we've we've you know,
made it part of our life. So we have a
lot of essential oils which you can add to your
soap making process and and so for even your candles,

(31:24):
you know, if you're making candles. So things that have
multiple purposes that last a long long time is where
my list is.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
In garlic oils and oregonal oils. They're a very healing,
very you know, flu Whenever I have a cold or flu,
it's like, throw some of these, you know, put a
little drop of this, little drop of that, a little
drop of this, and mix it together and pop it
and you're like, WHOA, I feel better already, you know,
what I mean. So garlic and turmeric, those are huge
things for cold and flu season.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
Yeah. Again herbs, and I know, Scott, you're talking about seeds
and herbs and having you know, we we think mostly
of garden seeds, like you know, like tomatoes and beans
and peas and those types of things, but having seeds
for your herbs as well, you know, for flowers, pollinators
that bring the bees around. Have you gotta have some
flavor in your meals.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
And to go with those things, because herbs can do
so many good things.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
But plastic tarps, tarps absolutely. I have a huge roll.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Of plastic clear plastic tarping. Why, I can seal windows
with it. That plus duct tape, plus nails, plus boards
like all these other stuff. Having the right tools. But
I can also make a greenhouse and I can grow
my herbs and a tiny little greenhouse right, and it
keeps the deer off of it.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
That's true. It's amazing how expensive that six mil plastic
can be, you know, especially get a big roll. It's
pretty expensive. But yeah, a lot of uses. But actually
instead of if you're gonna use it for a greenhouse,
you can actually get greenhouse plastic that regular plastic won't
last but a year up in the sun. So if
you're canna use it for that purpose, go get some
greenhouse plastic and you've got at least four years out

(32:56):
of that. But but yeah, pen if you're gonna, yeah,
you'll get by. Absolutely you can sprout your seeds in
it and then take it down for the summer and
and and reuse it. But uh uh just yeah, just
a quick tip is I'm stocked up on on sight
greenhouse fabric.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
Nice.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
But I guess also along those same lines, cutting tools
and and uh we talked talking about food, so so
fire making supplies, firewood, coal, propane fuels. Uh, obviously gasline
doesn't have a long, very long shelf life. You can't
store that for very long. Plus there's it's dangerous, there's

(33:37):
legal issues with it storing it in a residential area.
But firewood, Yeah, stack it to the rafters. Coal and
then all your you know, lighters and multiple ways of
starting fires. Uh, those lighter lighters will I think eventually
break down, but I'm pretty sure they have a really
long shelf life that will still work. But you know,
you get some flint and steel, ye make your own

(33:59):
charcolaw that she'll that will last forever essentially.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Well, if you have the skills like that. It goes
back to earlier in the conversation. The more you learn things,
the more skills you have, the less stuff you need
to store. Right. If you know how to make your
own chartcloth, you're very advantageous to know how to do that.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
Right.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
The more you know, if you know how to sharpen
your own knives, if you know how to maintain your tools,
if you know how to create fuels right, and you
know how to freeze right, we'll not freeze right. If
you know how to store, can your foods and store those,
preserve those, all those skills are going to save your
hide in the long run. And what's interesting is if
you start putting those into practice, you save money. Like

(34:40):
we just had Peele's and pedals on a few weeks
months ago, and she talks every time about how much
money she saved. She just did the math for last year.
She saved eighteen thousand dollars in food costs because she's canning,
she's preserving. She buys things when they're fresh, when they're cheap,
when they're in their abundance cans. It like crazy and

(35:03):
She's like, I only spend a little bit of time
each day or week to can and to preserve because
once you start it, it does the process itself and
then you just come back when it's done. But where
it goes, it's quick and easy. You can add it
and integrate it into whatever you're doing. But the skill
of having those things is so valuable.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
Yeah, another thing it you know, part is obviously part
of the survival is being able to provide for yourself.
And we're not talking about food, however, the methods to
get fool So obviously we talked about gardening tools, but
also fishing supplies. When I go fishing, I know we
lose lures all the time and flies, and so I
have fly tying kits and I kind of know how

(35:47):
to tie flies, and my son is working on learning
how to make lures. So having a way to replenish
those types of things. Having enough line is I go
through the line pretty quick too, not being a great fisherman,
but having enough that extra line to where you're not
going to run out. You know, those types of things,

(36:09):
extra poles, you know, those types of supplies where you
can fix Like Scott, you're talking about archery, you've got
to be able to repair your arrows. So you've got
to have the feathers and the knox and and the
glue and all those types of things and broadheads, uh
to where typically maybe okay, you're out shooting and then
something breaks, you go to the store and buy it
and then but having extra is you know, is.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
At least one string for your bow, have the one
you're using, and then have a backup because that'll give
you some love.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Yeah, like I've got I've got to I've got two
of the same recurved bow and then I have with
one of them it's just a single string, but the
other one have three extra strings in that back. But
it's like I use them very rarely. But I'm like
I got to get practicing again. But knowing how to
make your own glue, knowing how to make your own
arrows from scratch, like rose plants, rose bushes, those are fantastic.

(37:07):
They're pretty easy to straighten, they're great, they fly straight.
You just got to learn how to how to make
your own feathers and then to hear those and learn
how to put your own heads on it right, And
those are things you can Those are skills, learn the
skills and build it out.

Speaker 4 (37:23):
Yeah, like Joseph mentioned, here is vaseline and dryer lint
as fire tender. I have stocked up on a couple
of containers of dryer lends. I'm definitely a weird guy.
I collected and stuff in the container and stick it
and and I even, you know, collected a bunch of
bread bags. When the bag is empty, I'll put it
in another bag and keep a bunch of bread bags.

(37:44):
I mean, stick it in the shed, right and then
forget about it. Or stock pile your newspapers. I mean,
I don't know if anybody gets newspapers anymore, but I
did that for a long time and I'm still working
off that pile of newspapers.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
I love that you. You just made the entire the
entire generation lift through the depression. So proud good in
that statement right there, Like use it up, wear it out,
make it do or do without. Like I remember, saving
every bag is a kid, every container is a kid.
That's what my grandparents taught my parents. And it's like
I'll try to get my wife to do that stuff,
and she's like, why are we saving yogurt containers? Like

(38:19):
in case I need it, No, No, just go buy
other I'm like, why this is free? This is free
and it stores in the garage, like it's out of
your way, Like, don't worry about it.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Yeah, great to have.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
I look what Fieltech put here saying, you know, buy
sticks of Bird's Bees lip balm, whether it's that brand
or another one. I think it's a really good idea
to have some moisturizers, lip chapsticks. I mean, I don't
know how many zombie movies you see where they're just
they look like their lips are about to fall off,
and that's just not I mean, that's a lot to

(38:53):
do with dehydration. So if you just drink more water,
you'd avoid that. But in the meantime you still got
to balance you or I would say balance that with
some great lip bomb and some great things like birchz
Bees is also very good, and that's those are also
some things you're like, well, how many do I need? Well,
here's what's cools. Let's say you come across somebody who
doesn't have it, you can now barter with those things.

(39:16):
And so some of the things I was thinking about
that you should stockpile are things that are barterable. Like me,
you may not drink alcohol, but you might come across
somebody who has something you need and if you have
stockpile a little bit of alcohol, now you can trade
for that. You might you know, there's other things like
the vices, like it's even some cigarettes potentially even some
like condoms or just stuff like that that would be

(39:39):
something that you could stockpile and barter. And frankly, if
you're married and you have you're gonna probably want to
have some those intimate essentials anyways as part of your
because you don't want to just because the crap hits
the fan doesn't mean you want to, you know, don't
need to snuggle with your sweetheart every once in a while.
And so having some of those things as well in

(39:59):
their stock pile I think is important. Whether that's you
use it or whether you barter with it.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
I think you're going to go a long way with
with having it. It's in Utah.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
It might be wild to see some you know, LDS
boy come in with his vodkas and cigarettes or what
are you doing Paris uh? I promise it's for my store,
my stockpile for bartering. Right, you need to talk to
the church about what anyway, So that's.

Speaker 4 (40:23):
Kind of funny. But yeah, my list, you know, has
also things that to not collect, right and and honestly
those things are not on my list because I don't
personally use them, and I don't personally believe in collecting
items that I'm not going to use, right if if
you know what I mean, So, if I'm going to

(40:43):
put it into alcohol or cigarettes or something of that that, oh,
I'm sure I'll be able to barter with this, well, yes,
probably so, but I would rather put that money into
something else.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
It's something that you could use and bar Okay, that makes.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
Exactly So that's my reasoning.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
But yeah, and if it's not something you're gonna use,
know your audience, right, who you live around. I I
don't have anyone that smokes on my street or anywhere
near me, right, So I'm like, why would I ever
store that. We're not going to prison anytime soon, so
I don't need it for prison money, right. So it's

(41:21):
like I like Shane's point there. If I don't need
it and I can't use it, I shouldn't store it. Yeah,
I mean, if you have all the space in the
world and extra funds go for it.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
I've got a brother in law who lives in California
who he is stockpiled on alcohol. He doesn't use it,
but he bought hundreds of dollars of alcohol, but he
doesn't have hundreds of dollars of food storage. And I'm like,
what are you thinking.

Speaker 4 (41:53):
Well, if you're gonna make a tink, you know, a tincture, right,
and you need some vodka for that. Personally, I do
have some set aside for them, particular use of making
some kind of medicinal purposes.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
Right, but specifically for barter. Right, Yeah, exactly, he can
get what food food's gonna be, odd, buddy.

Speaker 4 (42:13):
Then just buy the food instead, right, Yeah, exactly exactly
my point. But I'm sure there's always exceptions. But you know,
another thing that I've I've done is, you know, I
like to take notes, right, I like to write. I'm
I'm I do my writing on a laptop, but I
take notes on paper. And so I've stockpiled pen pens

(42:34):
and pencils and paper writing paper, notepads and notebooks, and
and that's a lot of that's for you know, sitting
around time when there's downtime or not at night when
I have, you know, thoughts, I want to write, write down,
and I don't want to necessarily fire up the lap
type laptop and turn the the inverter on right and
drain the batteries and I can I can write buy

(42:54):
a candle right where by a headlamp. And I think
that's would take off a lot of stress of people
having to be able to doodle and draw or do
something with writing with writing utensils. So I've got a good,
good supply of that as well, because that's that's important
to me that.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
In my home library category, like we've got books, how
to books, educational books, loads of paper, loads of pens
and pencils, crayons because Creon's have multi uses. Right, But yeah,
because as I think about that, like back in the
olden days, you'd have to go up to the teacher
and ask for paper, right, you can just go to

(43:30):
the store and buy it. Teacher have to have it
shipped in and they'd be the purveyor of all paper.
Like you'd have to get permission to get paper, and
you have a limit. And it's like, how are you
going to learn? How are you going to teach what
you know to your kids, or we're gonna sit outside
only during the summer and learn when you're supposed to
be doing gardening and taking care of things like drawing
in the dirt. No, right, we had we had a chalkboard.

(43:54):
We got rid of that, but we've got dry erase
and dry erase markers. But nothing beats good old fashioned
paper and a pan and pencil, right, lots of pencils,
it's it's.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
And pads and what journaling.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
Journaling is really good, especially for mental health when crap
hits the fan. We're gonna have to have things like
that to pass our time because we're, you know, mental.
I think I think one of the least prepared for
things is the loneliness and the mental toughness that's going
to be required because we're going to go from absolute

(44:29):
comfort in most cases, we're gonna go for absolute comfort
ease of acquiring things to oh.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
No, what what can we do?

Speaker 1 (44:39):
And so one of the other things too, that I
think would be good to stockpile is like board games
or card decks or different games at this that you
can play with your family to kind of pass the
time because you're not gonna have TV, You're not gonna
have movies necessarily, you're not gonna have all those things,
So having games, board games, card games, and stuff that

(45:01):
you can do to keep yourself busy, like journaling is
I think one of the great you know, things that
I love about the past generations is reading the journals
of these men that accomplish great things. And to be
able to sit in journal is something I think that

(45:21):
I need to do better at it, for sure, and
so I think that would be a great thing to
have as a stockpile, several journals, games, other things that
can help you pass the time so that you're not
going crazy, stir crazy when you have nothing else to
do that you're traditionally used to.

Speaker 4 (45:37):
Doing, especially when we were from the screens all the time.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
Right, Yeah, exactly, That's where your book's come in handy. Right,
You're going to spend more time reading than writing, right,
because running out of paper is going to be a
bad thing. But like you're going to you're going to
spend a lot of time reading olden days. Like one
of the biggest, biggest thing was in the eighteen hundreds
and everybody had a Bible. They sit around the dinner table,

(46:03):
like there was no TV, there was no rate like
reading the scriptures. Reading a good book was how they
were entertained right once the radio came along, and then
there were other options, and so like you're gonna want
to think back the same way. Okay, what what can
we rely on and prep for that?

Speaker 4 (46:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (46:25):
The oh go ahead.

Speaker 4 (46:26):
Oh, I just say I've got a few other things
just to get through before we're done here. If it's
a good time.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
I was just gonna say, one of the things that
we missed is extra socks and underwear.

Speaker 4 (46:39):
It's on my list. Yep, that was one of them.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
Let's talk about it because that socks.

Speaker 4 (46:42):
Yeah, absolutely, socks super important.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Yeah, good too, wolf socks, thin socks, thick socks, through socks,
like different sizes of socks, that's you need them for
different things. And different layers too, especially as you're if
you're going hiking, you need different layers. And that was
all different can help.

Speaker 3 (47:01):
And with kids, like I've got sock sizes stockpiled for
the next Yeah, five to six sizes of socks that
they're gonna need, right, because who knows how long it
will before you can get socks.

Speaker 4 (47:13):
Again, especially its growing in clothes.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Yet, well that brings up another good point, Scott, like
what why not. I mean, you can't stockpile for the
rest of their life, but you could stockpile for the
next year or two and you know, and get a
couple of sizes, Like let's say your kids a size
five right now, go get a couple sixes and seven
pants and shirts and stuff, and make sure you've got
a couple. You know, you've got some you know, as
they grow over the next year or two until you

(47:37):
can find a way to make their clothes or or
get that going. Like sewing and cloth, And that's another
thing to store, sewing and cloth, like bolts of cloths
and textiles that you can then sew into clothing and
create clothing and patterns short patterns for pants and shorts
and shirts. And I'd put all those that stuff together

(47:59):
in my talk too.

Speaker 4 (48:01):
Yeah. Absolutely, yeah, Like Tony says, here a way to
repair clothes. I've got a sewing machine and and and
thread and some some fabric. Definitely could do better that way. Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
Buttons, lots of buttons.

Speaker 4 (48:13):
Buttons.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
I mean, like like Grandpa passed down all all the
bolts and screws and nuts, and Grandma passed down all
the buttons, right, that's pretty good supply buttons myself. But
a few other things on my list. You know, we
talk about shelter and safety a lot for me. To
key part of that is is light sources. Having having light,

(48:36):
it's also comfortable as well to be able to see, uh,
to be able to read, to be able to write
in the dark, and so having having rechargeable batteries lithium
batteries as well as multiple light sources. I am a
bit of a flashlight freak. I love I love phoenix flashlights.
So I'm a bit of a collector that way. But

(48:58):
only things ones are be useful to me. So I
like lots of different light sources for myself and to share. Additionally,
I also have on my list I've got you know,
water filters, water purification, all kinds of things you can
use to purify water, like I say, extra filters, but

(49:18):
also chlorine dioxide. You know, you can use chlorine as well,
but and of course boiling helps as well. All the
different methods have a bunch of different types and various
different methods to purify water and restore water. Extremely important
that should be really high on the list right up there.
Next to food is have a way to get more

(49:40):
water because water is very heavy. You can get a
bunch of five gallon buckets at eight zero point three
pounds per gallon, you know, ten.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
Gallons easy, So you have two of those on that
shoulder yolk.

Speaker 4 (49:55):
Yeah, and so obviously really important. I can keep going
down the.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
List along those lines. I think Keel Tach brings up
a good case. You know, store get candles. Yeah, have
stockpile candles, really.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
Goods of candles for super super cheap. Provide some pieces
learning how to make candle wax. I mean it's not
it's not hard.

Speaker 4 (50:16):
It makes it easier to light a fire with a
candle as well. You light that candle and then you
can more easily light fire, yeah, rather than trying to
do a featherboard or using up your uh, your newspaper
you've stored up. Okay, candles are fantastic. Another thing I
had list of course, Ammo. Right, I think we touched
on that briefly. Having a good store, Ammo, for for

(50:37):
all your your firearms. You know, we could talk about quantities.
How much is enough depends on what your plans on
it where you live, right.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
I don't know that there's an actual number, you can
really give it enough. It's that's on my list of
continual addition to right, and every time I go, every
time I go to the range, I'm like, I'm using
some it's a little painful, but I think these were
so cheap when I bought them. Now they're a dollar each.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
Right, Yeah, I'm just going to say along those same lines,
is that if AMMO is of course expendable, and it's
gone once. Once it's gone unless you have way to
create or re restock it, reload it. But also like
that's one of the reasons why I bought a bow
and a crossbow is because you can go get those
arrows and hopefully they're not broken or damaged, and in

(51:25):
more cases than not, you can actually go collect them
and reuse them. And so there's other there's other personal
protection items that you can reuse. You know, you want
to have another you know, you have a bat, but
make sure you have a ball, a glove, you know,
kind of go along with it, so you're not just
out there pounding people in the face with the bat.
But you want to have I actually have a desire

(51:48):
to get a sword, you know, maybe it was because
of the gal on the Black Lady on Walking Dead
and her Katana and that was like super awesome.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
I can't simons, what was her name?

Speaker 4 (52:00):
Anyways, watched Yeah, I've actually got one my head.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
Yeah, so it'd be fun to have a sword because
those are reusable. I mean you got to you know, sure,
you got to sharpen it, but other than that, it's
it's reusable. So anything that can be used to protect
you and then have a stockpile like pepper sprays and
other things like that, just having a stockpile that anything
for personal protection.

Speaker 3 (52:19):
What's funny is that you started talking of swords and
you're like, I was watching I'm like Highlander and you said,
oh yeah, dad, I was like, what no Highlanders?

Speaker 2 (52:29):
That sort is awesome on high I always.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
Thought like, oh, when I grew up, I'll get a
sword and I'll carry a sword like that's in Highland.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
That it can only be one.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
I have more of a more of a short sword.
It's it's it can be used more purposes than just
just defensive, right, it's more of a survival tool. I
just have my long coukery and yeah, this is this
is about twice the size of a coukri what I have.
But yeah, like Joseph says, blowgun absolutely, yep, with blow

(52:59):
guns and darts absolutely.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
Sling old sling yeah.

Speaker 4 (53:06):
Or sling shot as well, those types of things. You
can always find rocks on the ground, right, you can
always make that work, right, that's something you can get
good at.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
And you can things too.

Speaker 3 (53:19):
Yeah, well you can take down a giant if you
know how to throw a sling.

Speaker 4 (53:25):
Go on YouTube.

Speaker 3 (53:26):
That is fantastic. He he's just old school sling and
he'll punch Danse into steel like and and you're just
like what and it's just gone and oh so nice,
it's so cool. I need I need, I need to
get that skill up because we think of it like

(53:47):
because the cartoons and everything else, Like you're like and
then you let go and it's it's not that it's
fling and you're using your whole body, one movement and
your launch. It's wow.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (54:04):
You know. Also along the same lines, hunting tools, right,
rifles and ammunition.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
Right.

Speaker 4 (54:11):
I am not much of a hunter myself, but it's
on my list and I know when it comes down
to it, I could, you know, I could easily take
down a deer, but do I know how to dress it.
That's that's my weakness there, and I'm sure field Tech
did instruct me on that as well.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
So we're gonna have scheduling outing head up into the
mountains with field Tech one of these days. Well that'd
be fun.

Speaker 4 (54:32):
Hopefully we come back.

Speaker 3 (54:34):
What's that?

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Hopefully we come back.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
I've got kids. I have to come back, right, dude.
I've got one on the way. Like maybe supplies. If
you're planning to having more kids, have some good like
good quality fabric, diapers, stockpile tile, like high quality crylic

(54:59):
or glass bottle like those things. Oh my gosh, you
gotta have them if you're playing if you want to
have kids post apocalypse, we got to repopulate the earth.
Either that or you're gonna go out and get a
sheep and you're gonna process the sheep, pull the bladder
out like you're gonna clean that sucker or the stomach,
and you're gonna turn it into a big old bottle
like that. You're gonna have to find something to work,

(55:21):
So be prepared for anything.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
That's crazy. What else you got, shame?

Speaker 4 (55:29):
That's all you got, Scott?

Speaker 2 (55:30):
You got anything else?

Speaker 3 (55:31):
I got one left the H two go water purification system.

Speaker 4 (55:40):
Nice Okay.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
I love it because it creates its own chlorine solution.
You can use that to process water. We've used it
a number of times. We keep it in the car
for travel, like I've got two now. But I love
having that. And if you guys go to I think
it's H to go purifire dot com. Let me pull
it up.

Speaker 4 (56:00):
There's a lot of page. I'll post it here.

Speaker 3 (56:02):
Pepper Talk Radio dot com has it. You can click
the link from there. But it's it's so phenomenal. Like,
I love it. I've used it, I've done videos on
it on YouTube. It's it's such a great little tool.
But dude, if you're not going to store in stockpile,
you know, uh rock bleach. I can't even think of

(56:26):
the word now, but like this is this is a
fantastic alternative.

Speaker 4 (56:31):
Chlorin tablets, broom table Thank you.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
I'm like my brain just shut off.

Speaker 4 (56:36):
Sodium hyd Yeah, Calcium hyperchlor I forget as well. Calcium
hyperchloride Yep, that's there you go. Calcium.

Speaker 3 (56:44):
Oh, it's on my list right here. Just look at
my paper.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
So the the only other thing I was going to
say is that we haven't talked about yet is communications
and ways to communicate with others.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
You know, HAM radios and a radios, AM f M radios.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
You know, you know, I have to have a ton
of them, but I would have two because if one breaks,
you got another one, You got a backup. And so
anything to communicate, like use your figure out how to
use your smoke signals, the old Indian smoke signals, and
maybe have a couple of mirrors that are signaling mirrors
that you can use. Just have some things that you're
you can use to communicate and that's those are some

(57:23):
other fun That's the last thing that I have, so
final before we close it out.

Speaker 3 (57:27):
Guys, Shane's got a really good signal mirror.

Speaker 4 (57:29):
Well, I just I just picked up a little uh
boffing you be five r mini oh some learn Yeah,
very cool. But yeah, I think is the last comment here.
You know it's uh as Field tax says you can
nurse a baby goat directly from a Goat's d a
baby from the goats.

Speaker 3 (57:48):
It's the best mill on hand.

Speaker 4 (57:51):
But you got to have some goats, right, and you
got to have some goats who are lack dating right,
So be prepared, go get.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
Some goats and trying to figure out how to lactate.

Speaker 4 (57:59):
Them and milk your goats so they're always prepared for
your next child.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
I don't know if you guys were counting, but I
don't think that was seventeen. I think that was more
than seventeen. Yeah, fifty fifty three. We just picked out
a number and we're going to go with fifty three.
It was fifty three, and so hopefully you got some
good things that you can stockpile over the next little
while here that are not food related. If there's anything
