As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? I cried because I had no magazines and then I met a man who had no ammo. I feel so bad. Anyway, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kirky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories left, south, east, and central. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on...

Many hands make for light work a million petticoat junctions. The ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Well it is a beautiful oh It is Thursday, but it's gray and it's been rainy now, or trying to. It's been gray and windy and it's just a beautiful fall day. And all I didn't say was super warm. It was if you were in the sunlight, but if you're out in the air, whoo-hoo! Yeah, and of course they declared that we were gonna have rain and snow of course depending on the weather report you where you were in the state Each one was different pointing at another part of the state so you can't trust any of those in any way shape or form Eventually, yes, there was some moisture that fell a storm on Lake Michigan brought us some lake effect rain inland and that's been a mix and watch the the little frigate clouds fly over and mid-day here from the west and we figured out yeah the storm on the lake again sure enough that's the case listen the little report from somebody who was talking to in the afternoon here we're out and about that yeah was the weather report he had was from like over towards Grand Rapids and that's why the report said rain and you know squalls etc well it got that far Anyway, it has been cold and wet. It is the... but no warm and cold and wet, depending on where you are. It's the 7th of November, 5th year of Open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K, 2013 Old Earth Calendar or Mayan Crazy Town, Crazy Town Calendar. Real quick, footwear. And I want to bring this up because I had a whole bunch of comments with people who are not familiar with Mickey Mouse boots. Guys, I've used Mickey Mouse boots for as long as I've lived just about, although I've had other, I obviously have a lot of other boots I've experimented with or use for different reasons. But, pretty much during the winter I live in a pair of Mickey Mouse boots. They're quick and easy to put on. You don't have to worry about freezing. They're a little cool when you first put them on like any footwear that you've had away from your 98.6 body temperature. Anyway, the fact of the matter is, there are a few rules to remember about Mickey Mouse boots. They will retain a big chunk of your body heat. In fact, they're designed to hold back just about everything. You do not need to wear a real heavy pair of combat socks like heavy, heavy ultra wool or ultra deep free socks with Mickey Mouse boots. You don't want to do that. You're going to cook your feet. Typically, my dad has worn Mickey Mouse boots for as long as I've been alive when he was hunting and a pair of dress socks is all that he wore. And that was more than enough that allowed for a wicking of moisture away from the skin. It didn't build up too much heat in the boot internally. But especially since we have a tendency to sit, you know, or again, stand in place and hunt. We don't beat the woods and jump a runaround lot. The Mickey Mouse boot was especially designed for the Korean War window of activity, although its request for construction came about during World War II. Well, the guys lost toes and lost body parts because of cold weather up in Alaska. Remember the Aleutian campaign? They kind of talk about it a little bit now. Take a look at the troops and take a look at the equipment they went to Alaska with. not quite outfitted the way they should have been. Don't worry, in 1950 it wasn't any different with Korea. Progressively, other solutions were in place, but the Mickey Mouse Boot came about in its variations. The nozzle that you see on the Mickey Mouse Boot is not for blowing up or adding air to it. It's to ensure that it doesn't blow up. Those are designed for in aircraft where you have non pressurized operations. The idea is you open the valves up to maintain equalized pressure. That way you don't look more like Mickey Mouse boots as they blow up from, again, there are certain atmospheres inside the sealed system. And you go to altitude and the same pressure is still internal in the boot and she starts to stretch and eventually, if right condition applied, pop! They actually would, you'd hear a pop as a compromise. The valves are designed for pressure equalization. Remember that. However, typically those boots have a deeper rating. The standard infantry boot has no valve. There are French copies and there are Korean copies floating around. Both are good. A lot of people are not as good as the original American ones. Well, the original American ones were actually a higher grade of rubber, I think. Polymer plastic, you know, slash plastic. But all of them worked. We've tested them all. Ed and all the munchkins have grown up, grew up with Mickey Mouse boots and always owned a pair pretty much all their lives. One of the reasons is small sizes, I could access them easily. And for kiddie sizes you go with a narrow or extra narrow and trust me they would fit. So again, Mickey Mouse boots are a good solution. Just remember you don't need a real heavy, heavy sock. Canadian versions of the Mickey Mouse boot actually go up to about the top of the calf and if you can find them somebody wants to get rid of a pair or either come off them and they're cheap then yeah carry them away. The one thing somebody says they're heavy well yeah you're gonna have to exercise a bit but they are pretty cool in that because of their oversizedness I always found for even in snow environments where you got a little more snow on the ground they work kind of like a snowshoe, have a snowshoeish effect. in that respect. They're a wider print than your actual foot. Of course there's a packing insulation, a felt insulation that's actually used between the two rubber layers. It's a sealed system and they work. In fact, if you step through and end the ice, this is why a lot of guys use it for ice fishing, if you end up going through or your foot goes through the ice in some way or you get stuck and you drop in water, even if cold water rushes into the boat and it probably will you into the inside the boot we know where your foot is the body temperature quickly because the way the stuff you retain even wet your feet will remain warm now they're going to be is going to be a shock for a little bit but it's a very different situation needless to say if you get the boot off and dump the moisture change out the wet whatever it is that'd be a real good idea as far as a sock or a wrap or wrap whatever you're using But the basic rule is that even wet, the Mickey Mouse boot will keep you warm. Once you are of course wet, you start moving around. And what it does is it heats up whatever is inside the boot to body temperature. So it's again a basic rule. Is it the first thing? No, I don't want to go out and jump in the water testing all again in the sub-zero weather to check out my Mickey Mouse boots. But the advantage, the big advantage, is that the boot itself can't absorb any moisture. It's not going to retain anything. It's not going to be bogged down and become a sump for all the calories in your body. That's the most critical thing. In fact, whatever is there in the way of moisture will be brought up to body temp. Now if you've got a lot of moisture in there, you would take one boot at a time, evacuate it as quick as you could, flip it and get it back on the foot. If you're able to get dry socks on or whatever, yeah, that'd be fine too, but you've got to make sure you have cover. Again, you do not want to lose those toes. The cool thing about Mickey Mouse Boots is price is pretty reasonable right now because there's a number of different companies that have been purchasing the Donative Destruction surplus that's been coming out and there have been some very good buys as there even have been in the past. It's one of the few footwear items where you can actually find probably the size that you need and although again the average regular sizes they charge more for. If you shop around you can sometimes and typically will find better prices. I would also recommend you check government go to govliquidation.com govliquidation.com govliquidation.com and then go to their retail sales section. A lot of you don't want to buy a pallet and Mickey Mouse boots although it's a good idea. It would be cool. You can get them for a lot better price and you could sell the difference out on the market. I used to buy tonnage of those with rubber scrap and the pair that I have right now I think I've had now for at least 26 years. They don't look any different from what I originally got them 26 years ago. They just sit and stare at you. The trick is baby powder or foot powder. Take your pick. Baby powder, when you're storing them during the summer months, coat them on the outside. Take a plastic bag, put them in the bag, dump baby powder inside and out, shake the bag up, seal it, then shake it up. That will help to preserve the boot through the season. Keep it supple. It also can't keep it dry, keep them clean. The neat thing about Mickey Mouse boots is that they do come snow camouflage. You've seen them in the white, you've seen them in the black, they go both ways. And they are again a good solution for those who are looking for extreme or for a standard cold weather boot. Now, overlapping that particular idea is the rubber stand, they're much cheaper than a Mickey Mouse boot, is the standard rubber grandma boots. The regular five buckle or seven buckle, if they're the Canadian, they're seven buckle, or actually again, tall, they go up to the calves. That's because they get a lot of snow in Canada, so they make them to accommodate the depth that they figure they're going to need to protect you for. That's why they're designed the way they are and why they're a tad taller than the stuff we have here. Anyway, whatever you get, the boots preserve even if they are plastic boots that you presently have. Rubber boots on the outside offer reasonable traction if they are new and they offer again moisture protection and a dirt barrier for whatever boots you have that you might have spent $200 or $300 on because some people do that. Well, the rubber boots are going to protect the polymer sidewall. It could be Gore-Tex, whatever it is you've got. If you get dirt there, and you will because your feet are closer to the ground, aren't they? The dirt starts to permeate the weave. Guys, that will break down. It works like emery cloth inside the weave of the boot material. Even leather is affected the same way, so don't think, well, what about leather, Mark? That probably isn't any better. Well, actually leather is actually a pretty good choice. And I would remind everybody that it again is a simple process of again first making sure you properly clean, properly dye, give everything an effective finish whatever your finished choice is. A lot of people don't necessarily want to polish or brighten up the boots, shine them up, but you do that to seal the boot. And whatever preservative system you've come up with that you're familiar with, that's fine. The big thing is continue to perform maintenance and follow-up maintenance. Also protect what you have worked on. You've spent time on the boot, not just buying the boot and putting it on. A lot of you have bought the boots, treated them and processed them the way you were told. Well, rubber boot takes a lot of the wear and tear away from that finished product and makes that comfortable boot last that much longer so you've got a good set of footwear through the big chunk of your life. The old Model 1970 series boots that we were issued back in the day of the last issue that I got were pretty durable. They weren't as fancy as other boots that had been made. They certainly weren't Corcoran jump boots, but I have every pair that was issued to me. Condition varies. Well, exception, correction. One pair is not with me anymore because somebody begged to bear off me. So again, I was willing to trade out on something and they got a pair of the boots new because I had a couple pairs extra, always buy spares. And they're a good boot, but again, to protect them, how did they last so long? Using rubber boots to protect the, and maintaining the leather itself, making sure that everything was polished and cleaned up. making sure everything was properly treated and ensuring that I used rubber boots whenever possible for field operations. And that eliminated the possibility of the leather being dinged, chopped up, short of again being gacked to something that takes a chunk out of your person. In any other normal environment, those rubber boots are going to make a big difference in general. So again, what if I do this with a little compromise group because you have a big hole in it? Well, life sucks and it happens no matter what you're wearing. I think that bullet kind of compromises most everything you got. Even if you haven't had a Kevlar boot, it's not going to stop everything. You all should know that by now. Anyway, I heard a ding do we have a collar? Just want to make sure if we have a collar you don't have to jump up. If you're not a caller but just visiting which is not a problem and remember guys if you'd like to donate by the way we're well I'll tell you what before going farther here donate to Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com I'm gonna be addressing something here after the bottom of the hour having to do with something all of you may want to send a donation for We'll let you know about that in a few minutes, but in the meantime remember got end of the month bills to cover already the first week of november it's already done uh... the micro effect is in the same situation guys just as a job your memory thing maybe forgot didn't listen this morning but uh... for everybody out there i'd like to make sure that we keep the pressure off uh... joe mcmeal and again we're all allies here were all the same fight joe was in a remote situation i would remind you to have a business or company maybe got some extra junk that you bought a lot of and you'll never use them 40 years worth of business, could be office supplies, could be pens, post-its. If you want to take a couple dollars and go to the dollar store and then ship that to the micro effect, it would help a lot. Just basic administrative support, guys. Whatever you can think of. Bads of paper, stuff you want to make at home, that's fine. We're getting back. I don't know why, but we had music there. So I'd assume I said we ought to get out of here. Not yet, Dad. Sorry, I was getting stuff lined up for BC's program. Hey, by the way, were you able to find a copy of the music that Randy requested? You know, the Billy Mummy piece? Yeah, I found it on CDBay.com, downloaded it, and got it set up. Very good. By the way, can we do that particular piece? I know, but we're not trying to steal it from Randy. But it's the first track on the album. Can you do that for the bottom of the hour break? Yeah, I can. Just give me a minute, Dad, because I've got to get someone to record. That's okay. I've got a few more things to cover here. And the reason I bring it up, guys, is because, and I'm going to ruin it. Normally I'd say, can you guess who this musician is? Now, everybody know who Billy Mummy is? Anybody? Who's Billy Mummy? Who is Billy Mummy? Can I answer because I know. Well, I'm waiting. Somebody there listening should everybody. You've all seen him. Seriously, you've all seen him. In fact, if you've been a sci-fi buff, ah, it's a big hint. You've also seen him on more than one program, okay? But you've seen him many years ago as a very young individual. Well anyway, okay I'll ruin it for you. Billy Mummy is Will Robinson from Lost in Space. Warning, Danger Will Robinson, danger. Oh Dr. Smith, I think we ought to go over here in the cave where it's really dangerous. Oh my boy, ooh. Well wait a minute, there's some platinum there. Platinum, whoa. Well remember, Millie Mummy, that was the young guy's name that was on Lost in Space. Well, guys, you might recall they showed him strumming the guitar a little bit during that series and in reality he is a very accomplished guitar player and musician and in fact has two separate bands. After doing Lost in Space, the family, actually the people who played on Lost in Space get together every Friday and eat dinner together still and I've been doing that ever since the series how many years ago? They actually still get together, they're still in contact with each other. Of course they've lost a few people already. You gotta expect that. Time marches on. But what's interesting is he has two different styles of bands that are playing and that he plays. He actually has a lot of fun doing this. But you might recall that he also, if you're a sci-fi fan, Babylon 5, Billy Mummy played one of the space aliens. He played linear through the whole of the series, right to the very end as a matter of fact. Again, he's had a lot of other guest appearances and other programs, typically playing unique individuals, space aliens so people don't recognize who he is. He does that intentionally. He does any problem with makeup. People don't realize exactly who he is, but they enjoy the parts that he plays. So, in addition to that, he does music and in fact has many albums out guys, not just one or two. And both bands have produced albums, have been out there in a lot of different gigs. And it's just one of those many things where he's perfected that skill and done a great job, I think, in general. The thing about the album that this particular song has come off from that Ed's going to play for me, the very last song is the giveaway. I sent albums out, copies of this out to different people. I said, just listen to the last track and it will give you an idea of who he is. Maybe you will figure it out. Because they didn't put the name of the musician on the album itself. Anyway, a couple of things here real quick. Again, for those of you who would like to donate to Liberty Tree Radio, go to libertytreeradio.4mg.com and you can go to the donate key there. Or, if you want to, you can send by snail mail. And I want to say thank you to our friends in Wyoming. And again, your package is... The torpedo is in the water. It's been out for two days. So I figure tomorrow you guys are probably going to end up with your militia organization packet. It should be there shortly. and again mostly thank you for the donation we appreciate that for our guys out west and for all of our other friends who have supported donated uh... so much because it's helped to keep to something online But if you would like to donate liberty tree radio dot 4 mg dot com liberty tree radio dot 4 mg dot com right below the trees all imagery there You'll notice that there is a donate with the word donate right in the middle of the second line in that brown line right there guys But you go to that it's self-explanatory also you can send a donation to PBN PO box 194 Dexter, Michigan 48130 PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. And again, if you are going to sign a check or money or make it out to Nancy, last name K-O-E-R-N-K-E, that's Nancy, K-O-E-R-N-K-E. and take the time plug in, say hi to everybody and you can drop an email at liberty at provide.net liberty at provide.net liberty at provide.net There we go, we got all the contact points out in the address and if anybody needs any clarification give us a call here in the program 712-43-200900 and 957-464-pound sign again 712-432-0900 and 957-464-pound sign. We'll go from there. Hey, Mark. Go ahead, caller, jump in there. Should we donate by phone, like instead of putting in our card number in online or sending in the mail, is it possible that they'd give somebody a card number? We don't normally do that. That's one of the few things we haven't done it through our net, through Liberty Tree Radio. We do it through the micro effect. And that's of course for the micro effect. That's not for us. That's to keep Joe going. But again, the reason is the way that we've got the system set up, I think Ed could answer that if it's possible to do it, but I don't think we normally do. Actually, I know we don't. Let's put it that way. Forgive me, it's just the way we are set up for the time being. If we expand again, there's been a lot of discussion, a lot of people want us to go back on shortwave. The rest of the mechanism would have to be in place. But right now, the way it is, we figure between the internet or if you just want to drop something in an envelope, that's probably the best of your best bet, your second best bet, rather than calling in. Okay. Just drops up and you know again doesn't it any amounts fine too that's just it. If everybody just pitched in a few dollars on a regular basis the bills would be covered. You guys I've got to say again I want to say thank you everybody helped to cover the the yearly bill which is the biggest single expense we have and we made it a yearly bill so we could cut down the cost so much more and we actually made it a hundred percent and on time this year which is good usually we have to kind of fudge it. But this year everybody pitched in and I don't want to say thank you. It made such a big difference because it helps keep the pressure off Nancy and everybody else with the book, you know, keeping track of the books here. No, we got to cover. But PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130 is the PO Box. And then if you want to go check them on here or just send them in for our ends, that's fine. Go right ahead, Joe. PBN 194, Dexter, Michigan. 3810 48130 481 is a zip code. It's PBN, Patriot Broadcasting Network is what that represents. PBN PO Box 194 Dexter, Michigan 48130 that's PBN PO Box 194 Dexter, Michigan 48 1-3-0. We'll be back in a minute. Some uric handy. Pay attention. Listen to the song. Sunday we'll all meet again Meanwhile I'll be sitting here at this riddle With me with the sound back here I swear It's New Rose River Step inside to a safe place We can hide our angry fires Paint the sky Your signs today Watch the news The rules are made so most can lose You made me wanna join the fight But worst I need to hold you tight You sit in here, this riddle Listen to the sound I hear, I swear Crashing, children laughing I hear the cocking of a gun I hear the sky, hear the sound of damage done Life's a show shot in one take But we've done anything Thursday we are clicking down the hours towards the weekend here guys and that was Billy Mummy by the way dying to be heard Billie Mummy from the album Dying to Be Heard's first track on the album itself. Pretty sure the title of it is Nero's Fiddle, but I could be wrong. However, you'll catch on real quick. The whole album is worth listening to. I don't think there's a song out that in any way, shape, or form doesn't compliment the next one. You're right, Dad. It is Nero's Fiddle. Nero's Fiddle. Very good. Thank you. And it is Thursday. Communications, of course. I will remind everybody. With all the issues that are coming up about power being shut down, of course we're looking at the next weekend, basically over Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, we're looking at an FTX being generated by the Fed that is a power down scenario. Now guys, a single region is not involved in something like that. That is multi-regional. The core of this FTX is actually going to be right where the last major power outage was started from years ago. So it's not to me a surprise that they're stirring the pot once again. Now for this reason I cannot stress enough, get all of the things that you can get done. Make sure your laundry is up to snuff. That sounds weird but it's not. Clean clothes make all the difference in the world. Get everything laundered. Do all the cleaning. Get your place squared away. It's like prepping a ship for battle, guys. You ever remember the movie The African Queen? It's kind of like a ceremony. Prepping the ship, everything was put in order. It was made to look the best, possibly could, but it was going on a one-way mission. Well, you know, it's kind of like you know, you're going into battle do everything get everything squared away the best you can Because it's going to be the one shot though. You're gonna the way the electricity does get knocked down. Let's say that they did well You're not going to be spending money on these you know and resources energy on things that are frivolous by comparison Doesn't mean you aren't gonna clean your clothes But if you've got all this stuff stacked up you're buying more mechanical time Think about that. Also, you're gonna see a very different different perspective on comfort. Well, as clothes have to be re-cleaned if you're using other processes, you're going to know things are different as far as how you wear them and how they wear, how they actually work for you when the time comes to. So there's a lot of things to be taken into consideration. Let's make sure that we square everything away, get the job done right, get on with business people. We've got a lot of work to do and a little bit of time to get it done in. Remember too with regard to food prep, right now in the dollar stores, two things are happening. A lot of the stuff from Mexico has been showing up in candies. It turns out guys if you didn't see the little announcement I believe that from the Trenches World Report I think Henry posted at least I thought I did I got an email from another source that apparently because they're going to be putting a tax on the Coca-Cola and Pepsi products in fact any kind of beverage you're going to put a one peso tax on apparently that's so expensive for Mexico as far as Pepsi and Coke goes, that they're going to drop using the cane sugar and go to... Oh yeah, they're going to go over to the junk they're using up here over on the other side of the border. Isn't that interesting? They're going to go over to corn syrup. Now, if that's the case, I don't really have any interest in having you ship Coca-Cola products up here from Mexico. You might as well keep them down where they are, right? Uh-oh, so whatever special sales they were making there, those are going to be gone out of the cycle very quickly now, aren't they? Dojo! So, again, pay attention because a lot of the candies and other stuff that have been showing up actually are showing up with real sugar as opposed to corn syrup, etc. And there is a big difference in terms of how that sugar is processed and what it does to the system. It doesn't mean you aren't consuming it to a degree with the food stuff that you have on the shelf anyway or stuff that you've prepped or stuff that you may have put away. It's going to be a combination. Just a heads up that some of the stuff you've been seeing where you could actually figure, it's going to be, if it's a choice between corn syrup and what everybody jokingly calls, but not jokingly calls, the white sugar. Cane sugar would be a better choice. It's kind of a dirty brown anyway if it's cane sugar, right? You all know that if it's in raw form. Anyway, watch for some changes there, but in the dollar stores right now, one of the things that is showing up is a wave of Vietnamese coffee. Now, everybody goes, oh Vietnam, oh God knows what to do with that. Well, hell, come on people, God knows what to do into the coffee in Colombia. Okay, or for that matter, let's see, have you been buying Sumatran coffee? Have you been buying Sumalian coffee? You know, there's Sumalian blend coffee beans out there, right? We'll do a little background on Somalian real quick. I'm not too worried about Vietnamese coffee than I am Somalian or Ethiopian coffee where they have dirt poor people and they make more molasses. They make enough molasses in Ethiopia they can feed the whole country and bring them back up to stuff real quick. But it's kind of like any other communist state. The molasses is shipped out of the country and they make money off it to buy more weapons. Oh, that's how that works. Actually, to the international shaster bankers, they give away their wealth. Anyway, fact of the matter is that that is another area where you can watch right now. There's been molasses. And coffees have been showing up in mixed forms and combinations. So depending on your area and depending on what dollar chain you have. Now this is actual dollar items. These aren't something really worth $1.55 or $1.50 or $2.00 or $2.50. We're talking a dollar store dollar store price. The nice thing about the coffees is they're coming in at retort, pouches, and they're in smaller increments. Now this is a good thing because if you're going to buy the coffee for barter and trade down the road, having it in a factory uniform package is a very good choice. You don't want to have to dole out or pull out a whole big 20 pound can of something and then people are looking at it and they don't think they're being fairly treated from this side or fairly treated from that side. Now down the road that's what you are still going to be using. perhaps is larger containers of stuff and you know doling it out because you're ahead of everybody else but remember that in in factory increments sealed containers there's a lot more confidence between the trading partners okay it actually motivates people they get into thinking well you know actually you've got a decent product it's always consistent that in and of itself makes you a more valuable selling point a more valuable place to acquire material from because their consistency is there. Now that is a plus, that is a plus plus. Anyway, right now you'll find, for instance, the Vietnamese coffees, what was it, French roast, standard, let's see, French vanilla. and also hazelnut which means you get flavors. Now let me give you an idea of storage on this. I have microbe, the little small bricks. They're like the bricks of coffee that you get that are vacuumed, foil packed. Guys, we have some of those from 1992, 1993. Vacuumed, seal packed, not compromised. Easy idea when they're compromised. They start to, you know, they're loose inside the package, guys. With this vacuum, if the vacuum pack is intact, it's a brick. It literally still feels like a brick. Now, we've actually taken, you know, we've done a test sample of what we've got and we will progressively cycle these out anyway we've been using them. They're small, they actually make about, oh, you can take one half of the package and make a pot of coffee. But back in the day, they cost 25 cents initially per bag and then they went to a whole 33 cents a bag. So, they're reasonably priced, inexpensive coffee, ground coffee, this is not instant coffee. And instant coffee would be a solution too. In fact, again, if you can find a good price for larger containers, distressed stores or whatever, or keeping out for coupons, bring the price down there. Instant coffee is a plus item too and not just for trade but also again convenience and speed. A lot of you guys been in the military know that you know what I'm talking about but as far as the package size, well again you'll be happy with anything down the road in logistics train coffees and teas. Also, sugars of all kinds. I mentioned molasses. Molasses is something right now we take for granted down the road. Like many of the other cooking and baking items, it is going to be a little more difficult. And then it will also probably be the first sugar product item that comes back online. Like everything else, though, there will be a drain period where the stuff all disappears. But molasses is one of those things that will most likely be actually reproduced in an industrial form. First, from the agricultural world, once we start kicking things back into high gear. But it's one of those items that for a lot of unique cooking, or to again, change stuff up. To again, break out a cookbook, take a look at what you need, take a look and start. make an ingredients list. Go through a cookbook and start making an ingredients list for a lot of the cookies, pastries. No, it's not going to be something you do every day. In fact, that's something where everybody goes, well, we're going to be doing this all the time. No, it's going to be what traditionally pastries used to be. They were a treat. A treat meant something you were going to have on occasion. It's why Sunday meals used to be something to look forward to because the Sunday meal was going to be an event meal. It was going to be something where everybody was going to show up and mom or grandma and mom or maybe all the ladies were going to build a special meal and everybody was going to be surprised by the cuisine. or at least knew what to expect that grandma's going to make her giblet gravy. Oh yeah, I'm going to be there for that. Not only that, she does great mashed potatoes. I don't know what she does, but those mashed potatoes are the best in the country. How that works? Well, that's the whole idea, guys. A treat is something unique. It's not something you get every day. We're actually can-tified and sugar-fied to the extreme. That's another one of those little microaddictions that everybody's going to have to get over. But because of the interest in sugar and sweet and yummies and treats, being able to produce such items is also going to become another marketable area for everybody out there. If you have the basic materials to get the job done, then you're going to have a great time with this when the time comes. See how that works? Anyway, so ideas, not just complaining about the problems, how could we do this? One of the things that we're going to be doing this year is licorice. I have got a licorice recipe that Nancy found. We are going to make black licorice. I'm going to do it in a traditional candy baker's recipe. Most of them are protected. This particular one may not turn out the way you'd normally expect. It may be more of the Australian type. You see the soft Australian licorice. That's fine by me. But again, I already want to make several from scratch candies and Licorice is one of those I've always wanted to do. If you lock me up at night in a licorice factory, you'd probably find me gorged in the morning. It's just to me, that's just one of those top-end candies guys. Also, by the way, licorice was found in the pyramids. Did you all know that? There are two things that they found that were edible in the pyramids. Where they found you know actually open them up and found food stuffs the wheat that was in the pyramids for whatever reason how it dry as a popcorn fart whatever The mysteries of the pyramid and it's you know power and energy focus who knows but the wheat Germinated and the other thing was jars of licorice Everybody goes what oh yeah, the recipe is that old guys. It's one of those old spice items and but there actually were jars of stripped where they actually what you do is you roll it out they would cut it into strips and then you know let it dry and put it in the jars and that was part of those food for the afterlife. Hell, we know it lasts 3,000 years. That's kind of scary and apparently somebody decided to try it. That's even scarier. And they said, yep, just tastes like, wow, it's licorice. And then of course, three or four people died later because of Pharaoh's Doom Tomb slash, you know, curse. No, you ate the 3,000 year old licorice. I wouldn't have done that. And you were breathing air down there too. I had to let it air out. I'd be like opening a cask of wine. Maybe it would be a good idea to let it breathe for a bit, sir. You know, it's how people are. They just get excited. They move too fast and they eat the licorice. Well, me, I said put me in a factory like that. I'll be happy for the rest of the year. But anyway, the idea is food production guys also find another niche, soap. I highly recommend that you be putting soap recipes away because soap is another thing that people are again not really prepared for. We usually keep so many cases on the shelf. We always watch the dollar stores for the most is for the least. You can find up to four or five, six bars for a dollar depending upon where you are and what's in the distressed merchandise category. So take advantage and store that. I would also recommend for the soap variety. Little things do make for a big change in terms of mindset. And soap is something that comes in a number of different shapes, sizes, scents, flavors. We have one of our ladies here that has done soap, even does dirt soap. Everybody goes, dirt soap? Well, yeah, she made dirt and moss soap for the hunters that are out there listening. Hey, wait a minute that makes sense. No, it's not sent with parfumes or anything like that. It's sent with the natural sense of organic materials that would be run into that you would run into in the field. And the idea behind this is that yep, you're still getting clean, but guess what? You're helping to mask your scent. You're helping and again, you're applying another layer of defense when the time comes, especially if you're looking at moving through the field. You don't want man-beating to know where you are, do you? Or for that matter, woof, woof, woof, when the time comes. They may still figure out that you're in the ballpark. But again, it's kind of nice to actually work with something like this. In fact, most guys that have used this stuff have been very satisfied, works very well. So again, there are other solutions, but this is another niche industry. This is something that's local. It's tactical. It's at the local level, the personal level. It's something you can do. It's very easy to build the components up. It's very simple for you to actually work the product. Then it's a matter of marketing on your part. And you have to determine the value in the exchange rate. Another thing that I have pointed out recently here, it has become very obvious because we just had the last of the lead smelters that does virgin lead. They are shutting down. That's one. We've got that place going out of business, but matches. Again, if you haven't been putting matches on the shelf, pay attention. The latest batch of matches are now green matches because they're eco-friendly, which is a big bad sign as far as I'm concerned. That means somebody mucked with a formula they didn't need to muck with. With the problem there, if you see the older red tip, they're not striking anywhere. There's just older red tip matches. That's a different formula. The bad part about a green formula is it may also be biodegradable on the shelf, which means at a given point it will be deactivating. So assume the worst, you won't be disappointed. If you run into any older packs of matches or people with boxes and books of matches at yard sales, and they're in the freebie box, or maybe they're cheap like a quarter for a whole box, grab them. Well, they're older. Yeah, well most of those really don't go bad. The big thing is make sure again that you keep the matchbooks, put them in another sealed tin or put them in Ziploc bags, then put them in sealed tins and make sure that they're protected, guys. I do this all the time. We actually do a B4 unit, which is all the different administrative accoutrements and fire starter equipment into a number 10 can. and there'll be so many packs of matches, so many books of matches, so many lighters, so many pencils, so many pads of paper, so many pieces of tissue paper, actual tissue paper packets. The whole thing is stuffed solid. There is no space in that can. And then we have a number 10 canner and we seal the can and that's what's in there. And those are marked as a, you know, again, an administrative pack. They're designed to support people in the field and it gives you a number of different fire starter options. Now the other thing that I've been doing for a chance is alcohol and also tobacco. Again, not expensive, nothing expensive. And to be quite honest, if somebody is really jonesing for cigarettes, let me give you a little hint if you want something on the shelf that's cheap that will help to deal with, at least to help the person to come down off their problem. Cigarette sized cigars are cheap and do not have the tax that cigarettes have on them. Now here's how it works. The person is going to have a trouble. I don't smoke those. Well, here's how it works. It's either this or nothing. Or again, when you're looking at trading, bartering and exchange. Guys, anybody out there jonesing for tobacco isn't going to care what kind of tobacco it is eventually. They might be snobby for them in the beginning, but as they get farther and farther and farther and farther from the last cigarette, Now, some will actually quit. That's going to be nice. But there are percentages that simply will not by the nature of, again, why they smoke or some just again take pleasure in smoking. Guys, well, if that pleasure, if they want to satisfy that, guess what? Having tobacco or roll your own tobacco in holes on the shelf or roll your own paper is a really good idea. Also, again, Taylor made little cigars which are cheap, cheap, cheap. You can even find special deals on those because they've been, you know, again, there's distressed merchandise even in that category. Cigar tobacco guys not necessarily with cigarettes cigarettes have got massive tax stamps on them Cigarette tobacco on the other hand is an option cheapest for the mostest you don't get any special brand You don't buy anything that's expensive you don't if you don't smoke It's not gonna be a critical issue for you anyway for somebody else who does smoke well any cigarette the storm kids So tobacco is another thing that you should put on the shelf now last thing I mentioned alcohol and I'm gonna bring this up again You would... Whoa, did it work? Oh, maybe not. Sorry about that, Dad. Just... Anyway... Oh, go ahead. No, no, I just had a little glitch, I apologize. Okay. One of the things I would remind everybody, you would think that if you were buying alcohol, that if you buy the bigger containers, you get more... Right? You think so? Well, one of our experts at prepping here locally, a gentleman when he got into it, he made sure he scored himself away. He's been eating cheaper than all his neighbors for a long time. But he's also a very intelligent man in that he actually compared prices. He's constantly measuring things. Well, look at the alcohol containers. If you buy a fifth or a half gallon, you actually pay more per ounce for a more per milliliter for the alcohol than if you bought the little pocket flask type, you know, the half pints and half pints guys. Oh yeah, in fact each one of the containers is marked. Take a look at how many milliliters are in a pocket flask or in a small, you know, half pint or pint. Then take a look at the actual measurement of the bottle for the other containers. Take a look and do the math, a simple division on the volume to the cost. So the cool thing is you can get the smaller containers for less money. You get a container that's already pre-measured and you can get a variety of different schnapps and different types of brandies for a very reasonable price. Now you collect a bunch of those, those are excellent trade liquors. It's not because you're going to be drinking them, although maybe you are, I don't know, but a variety of cheap vodkas, cheap whiskies, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, all of the cheapest brand are also a good item to have on the shelf for barter and trade and again, minimal cost. The idea is to not get into it and spend a fortune. The idea is to spend a set amount of money that you've already established, grab a variety. Don't do any one item, do a variety. That way you have something to offer. Remember, think about marketing. Think about how you present things and how you catch people's eye to catch their interest to get them into your market. Even if you're just a little fly-by-night store operation that is a field operation down the road, you've got the liquor and tobacco. Is it the most critical item? No, it is a luxury item. and because it is an interest, a luxury item of real interest to a lot of people, remember that in the barter trade and exchange process, you have the upper high ground, you have the higher deck. because you've got the product that most people didn't think about. Now that's why also make sure you have guns and ammo because there are some people who will be craving and really don't know how to deal with the problem so they may decide to go stupid but they'll also be the same way about food and water and everything else so don't be surprised there. That's just the nature of going back to the way things have been for thousands of years on the planet and haven't really changed. Okay, so don't be surprised there. Anyway, Again, we are working on a video on completing or at least having the rest of it in the can. It will take a few days to edit if not longer, but we have equipping part three.
