Something we should be doing should we Are we afraid of it is that why we call Ourselves Preppers is because we're Afraid of what might happen I don't know Some people maybe Yeah there's there's always going to be An element of people who are fearful and Driven by fear Um our mainstream media and others Um You know their whole model is based upon Spreading what's referred to as fud fear Uncertainty and doubt because that's What triggers people to watch more Exactly yeah yeah yeah come back now and We'll show you pictures of things Blowing up right yeah yeah so in just a Few minutes we'll show you more Horribleness going on in the world and Something else you should you should Worry about Um but but I what I always say is Control the controllable that's what I Always come back to and that's why I'm Not I don't I typically don't you know Chime in on current events and all the The problems of the world and the monkey Boxes and the and all that stuff I I Typically don't chime in on that stuff Because because I'm not stressed about It I'm aware of the things that are Going on in the world I'm aware of the war in ukr in Ukraine Um but I'm not stressed about it because
There's really literally nothing I can Do to prevent those things from Happening but what I can do is is have An effect on the people closest to me in My small little circle I can I can make Sure that I've done everything that I Can do to make sure that they're they're Fed clothed housed and well cared for Because it's the best of my ability even When times get really really hard and we Can't just go to the grocery store and Buy the you know the pack of bacon like We can right now Well whether it's a pack of bacon or Anything else I think it's a safe Investment you know whatever you invest In food and water you're going to eat it At some point in time sure it's not like You you're you know betting your Paycheck on you know a horse race yeah Yeah not risky yeah my friend Alan Called it an insurance policy for your Stomach Um and that's the the best way that I Could think of putting it right so You've got people buy insurance on their Home on the cars in case something bad Happens right Um but with this insurance policy for Your stomach it's always there you can Eat it anytime it's not going to go to Waste it's not you're not throwing money Away into nothingness there's no you Know uh you don't have to what is it not
Premiums but you don't have to pay the Uh there's no Coke deductibles there's None of that none of that's going on It's just something that just makes Total sense Um to have a little bit put away and We're not even talking about craziness We're talking about stuff that you Normally eat on a regular basis normal Foods that you can normally eat and Consume with your family and you can Easily stockpile extra away for the hard Times that may or may not come right Well I wish I could remember who it was But very recently somebody said we're Never more than three meals away from Anarchy you know so people will freak Out yeah if if suddenly the grocery Store is empty and stop selling food People will lose their minds and the Best thing that you could possibly do is Not go anywhere stay stay home if that's The case yeah exactly yeah I mean if You've if you've prepared obviously now If you're the person that shops day to Day and only has you know a day's worth Of food in your fridge and a box of Pop-Tarts uh you're gonna you're gonna Be one of those people that's freaking Out but if you've got a little bit of Food set aside and I'm I always Recommend a year I mean that is a good Goal I think for a lot of people but it Takes some time and investment to do
That but at a minimum I'd say a month a Month supply of food is not that hard to Do not that hard even with a bigger Family you know just like we were Discussing earlier the covet situation Uh we were very fortunate in Florida I Mean we're y'all's neighbors here in Georgia as well but you know we also Have a home and Florida and so you know Ron DeSantis best governor in the Country bar none after the first two Weeks to flatten the curve was over you Know he said no more of that nonsense And you know we kicked it into high gear And our economy he's been rocking ever Since then so much so that we're you Know in the process of leaving Florida Because there's just too many people Have come to our state now but when we Were discussing that that first week uh I stopped at a 7-Eleven around 8 A.M Fill up my truck it was a 7-Eleven I Used to stop at all the time on my way To the office and it was spooky there Was like nobody around I was the only Person normally that time of day it was Really busy really just because the Lockdowns and stuff everybody was just Hiding out yeah you could have fired a Cannon through the parking lot sort of Thing and so another customer pulled in As I'm filling my truck I've always been Paranoid when I'm at gas station stuff I've crisscrossed the country countless
Times and you know you end up in the Middle of nowhere getting fuel it's Night just crazy Is something I'm always cognizant of so Anyway there's carpool's in and the guy Gets out and he no sooner goes to grab The pump and this other guy comes Running from behind the 7-Eleven tackles Them and starts beating him up so I'm Reaching for my phone on truck seat Reaching for a pistol I'm fixing to call 9-1-1 Smoky bear pulls and just as this Has happened I'm just kind of coming Around my truck and he throws it in park And tackles this guy and the guy is Screaming at the top of his lungs I Haven't eaten in three days I just need Some money for food hard times and he Freaked out yeah and I mean so I our Office was in the same building at the Time my wife and I and you know I called Her I said hey there's some crazy stuff Going on out there now you know we're Barely into this thing you know and uh You know it just blew me away that this Guy was gonna you know he was assaulting A guy just get a couple dollars so he Could eat because he hadn't eaten in Three days it's crazy it's Mo well most People probably most people watching Have not gone more than maybe a day Without eating right yeah I would say Unless they were sick or something yeah Yeah that might be a case or in a
Hospital or whatever like that but if You're a normal situations probably Haven't gone more than a day probably Without eating and what happens to your Body after a couple of days without Eating a few days without eating is it Could be alarming if you've never gone Through that process before and I can Relate to that because I've done it Um But with that said uh Gathering the foods and stockpiling the Foods that you might need to see you Through the short term of you know Craziness going on with the economy and Stuff like that lockdowns and things of That nature stock on the food is the Cheapest and easiest that it will has Ever been and will ever be again it is That we were talking about earlier a 50 Pound bag of rice I don't I don't know What the price of it is let's let's say It's 35 you know I think that's about What it is 35 dollars for a 50 pound bag Of dried rice What would it cost In not just money Financial investment But time investment to grow 50 pounds of Dried rice it would be huge astronomical It'd be so huge and not even possible For us really because we can't even grow Rice well my field you might be able to Get away with it right now it's pretty Swampy but but usually you wouldn't get
Away with that because you couldn't even Grow it in your area you don't have the Tools the know-how the the equipment the Land It's just not going to happen it's it's So much easier to work a couple hours at Your job whatever it is and invest that Money into food that you otherwise could Never get you know what I mean Well I mean just going back a little bit So whether it's the war in Ukraine and There's some sort of nuclear event like It could be even a power station not Even a bomb yeah whether it's a Chinese Economy which is teetering uh or if they Were to invade Taiwan for example uh That would send ripples through the Global economy or what's going on right Now I mean we're in a recession sure and We have out of control no question yeah And there's no easy way out of this so Typically when you go into a recession You lower interest rates to Spur people To spend money yeah and you bounce out Of it sort of thing but we're in a Catch-22 now so if we have inflation is Extreme We have a recession going on so if you Cut interest rates you fuel more Inflation you raise in interest rates Keeps going yeah so my point is out of All of those things the very first thing That's going to fail is going to be food Yeah you know within like if there's any
Type of nuclear event 12 24 hours there won't be a stitch of Food left on any shelf the system is Pretty fragile yeah much more fragile Than we ever realized yeah not just Other people including ourselves yeah no Idea how fragile What do you think most people What do you think goes through most People's heads about these types of Things that are not people that are not Preppers uh you know the Preparedness-minded people what do you Think As they look at current events world Events do you think that they're Going through their normal day-to-day Life not worrying about it because There's nothing they can do about it or Not worrying about it because they Um think that it's not going to happen Here everything's still fine like I'm Still doing my normal day-to-day you Know I'm not I'm not hungry right now I Can still watch football Um what do you think I think the pace of Life is so fast in America these days That a lot of people They don't worry over something until They're told that they should worry over It right now it's a problem you should Worry about this right oh I need to go Buy toilet paper Yeah it's very reactionary as opposed to
Being proactive so I just think again That's kind of that's the society we Live in it's everything's you know Happening super fast Um you know people catch tidbits of news Yeah or I mean I had a good friend of Mine who passed away last year and uh he Was absolutely brilliant and 20 years Ago he said to me he said Chris he said The best case scenario the news is Infotainment worst case scenario it's Propaganda attainment straight up lies And yeah so you know there's people in Our Circle my wife and I who uh grew up Trusting the mainstream media yeah and To this day if we say anything that Doesn't jive with the current narrative You know they think that we're crazy Right and uh Well yeah you want Justice there I think I think you and I are the same on this Is that we want to believe that they're Telling the truth and that these things Are actually occurring and we want to Believe that our government wants the Best for us we want to believe these Things but the truth of the matter is It's not that's not the case I was going To say just a slight change of context There wanted to believe wanted yeah yeah Yeah yeah I wanted to believe that you Know the that CNN is gonna PR is going To tell me the news and tell me what's Actually going on but it turns out they
Just Want what they want regardless of the Problems that it causes no we're on the Precipice of a very deep Rabbit Hole Here but I will say and don't quote me On the exact numbers but in the early 1980s there was something like 400 Independent News organizations in the Country so owned by 400 different Entities and you now have something like Four or five major entities like Disney And whatnot that own something like 95 96 97 of all media so there's some Interesting videos out there where you Can see a newscaster you know stating X Y and Z is bad and then all of a sudden They pop in another video feeding Another one and another one another one And play them all at the same time Word for word exactly it is exactly the Same it's because you have these Conglomerates now own all the means of You know supposedly transferring Information to people yeah so if you Read something on the Internet you're a Conspiracy theorist yeah but if you Memorize and regurgitate the crap that's Being spewed on mainstream media somehow You're in the loop sort of thing so and It's another reason why like I I am not So Date on current events and stuff that's Going on because Um because I get really fed up with not
Knowing what to believe and I think a Lot of people are in the same boat as me No nobody knows what's true what's not True right so it's just like screw it All you know what I mean like like That's kind of I mean honestly that's Kind of where I'm at like all of its Lies so I'm just gonna do everything That I can do to be the best me that I Can be and take care of the people in my Small circle as best as I can and be a Positive influence on the people that I Can be a positive influence on like People watching or you know yeah well my Wife and I we're what maybe 15 16 years Older than y'all but we're on the same Page we basically believe nothing yeah That's in the mainstream none of it Unless we know somebody who's close to The story have some first-hand account Or something yeah we just don't believe It if you're a politician you're lying You're not telling the truth yeah that's That's the extent of it which is really Frustrating because like we're like I Was saying before is that I I think you And I are the same we we want the best We want other people to be successful we Want people the best for other people we Want we want people to to achieve their Goals and uh and it's it's it's beyond Me to understand how other people don't Want that and they're so selfishly Driven that they would ruin somebody
Else for their own personal gain Or not even just somebody else at a Whole country a whole a whole thousand Millions of people yeah I mean I still Want to believe that the vast majority Of people are good people regardless of What Walk of Life they may come from but We have concentrated power Amongst a very small group of people who Wield tremendous power so you know I'm a Hardcore right-wing libertarian Lowercase L I believe everybody should Be able to do whatever they want as long As it doesn't hurt nobody else but in 2010 the Supreme Court decision called Citizens united was an absolute disaster Where it stated that corporations are People and that money is free speech so We already had all kinds of shadiness Going on with money in into our Political process now there's just a Deluge of bad money coming in from People with bad intentions doing bad Things and uh So while I want to believe the majority Of people are good people I have very Little faith in our leaders whether they Be government whether they're I mean They could be elected they could be Bureaucrats whether it's mainstream Media I mean I can't watch anything from Hollywood anymore no can't do it it's Infuriating I I cannot do it and I Honestly somebody recently said that
They felt like a lot of the stuff that's Being put out there is from our enemies Whether you know whether it's Russia China or whoever trying to divide Us by Planting all these very divisive seeds Yeah amongst us which sounds like a Conspiracy theory but it's not if it's True I don't know if it's true or not What I do know is that the garbage Coming out of Hollywood is I can't imagine like if my grandparents Were still alive my grandfathers he he Never spoke a harsh word in his life his Head would be spinning off yeah yeah you Know telling people well I mean I'm Gonna be careful what we say because We'll get we'll get Smackdown about YouTube so yeah well but but to end this On a positive note I think that Basically what we're trying to say is There's a lot of crazy things going on In the world and we can make a choice we Can make a choice to stress about these Things and freak out about them or we Can do Um The very small things to make sure that We secure we're more self-reliant so We're not we're not dependent upon uh The government to give us handouts we're Not dependent upon them to feed us uh Wrap the FEMA blankets around us where We can take care of ourselves and Because we can take care of ourselves
They also can't control us But I think there's an element of Diligence you know you have to be Diligent in you know putting a little Bit extra away for you know stockpiling Food stockpiling water discipline yeah I Love guns I'm a gun guy Um I don't believe that any of us could Stockpile enough ammo to repel a you Know zombie apocalypse because you'll be Overrun right it's pretty much it's good As a trading so you're saying something To barter with so you're telling me the Head shots on the zombies while riding a Horse is not something I'm gonna do I Don't know about you I mean I have faith In Denny Chapman He could but you know before we wrap up Just a good example you know as I've Mentioned before you brought the topic Up of never let your fuel get below say A quarter yeah and my grandfather was Very adamant you know I'm going back Into the 70s and early 80s stuff that my Grandmother never let it go below half a Tank yeah and so we were off the grid You know top of a remote Mountain the Other day ago and we were running a Little bit behind and when we come off The mountain Um we were low on fuel we stopped at Three gas stations and Chatsworth Georgia and they all had the pumps Bagged up yep and maybe it's because
We're you know in tune with being Prepared and stuff like that but my wife And I were both starting to panic like What's going on like you know none of These stations have any fuel have we Really reached that point in time which People have predicted and so when we Finally did find gas it was it was Expensive it wasn't a good deal there Were people lined up and it was kind of A glimpse of you know what happens if You don't have fuel so I guess like Beyond food and water and stuff like That having enough fuel uh set aside That you can you know either get home or Get to you know somebody else's place Where you're good but just basic things Basic stuff yeah we're not moving you Know mountains here yeah yeah agreed Yeah so Don't live your lives in fear be Prepared Think about the possibilities that could Pop the most likely possibilities that Could go wrong and prepare as best you Can for them thanks so much for watching Guys I really appreciate it I hope this Was informative I hope it was helpful I Hope it was insightful or inspiring in Some way I want you to live your lives prepared I Don't want you to live your lives in Fear I put my faith in God I put my Faith in myself I put my faith in the
