Mark Koernke and co-host Larry Lawson discussed self-sufficiency and preparedness topics including food storage, livestock management, and survival skills. The show covered raising chickens for eggs and meat, preserving eggs using water glassing and pickling methods, storing rice and beans in food-grade containers, and the practical uses of farm animals including dogs, cats, and other livestock. Callers contributed information on militia preparedness resources, bone broth production, raw versus cooked bones for pets, medieval dart construction, and the challenges of maintaining exotic pets like bearded dragons during power outages. The hosts emphasized integrated farm systems where nothing goes to waste and every animal serves multiple purposes.
constitution. You know, the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny, not to hunt, to protect yourself from the police. Anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead. Anybody that wants to make me unarmed and helpless, people that want to literally create the proven places, innocents are killed, called gun-free zones. We're going to beat you out of office or suck on my machine gun. What do we do? Politicians. Look, okay, just get any blunt objects together, alright? If you get corners, bash them in the head, that seems to work out. Kick together, stay sharp, and follow me. I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken a sick number and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn holds they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride And are there no more values for what you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God-given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright, as I awoke he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as fire and 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, is to still the land of the free? And good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke. I'm Larry Lawson. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters on and behind the lines in occupied territories southwest, east, northeast, and central. ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on liberty tree radio dot four m g dot com liberty tree radio on satellite and we are on a m f m micro station c b bay stations and uh... all pro net hallmark and golden spike technologies east and west of the mississippi along with the last good afternoon to all of our friends out there in lower forty nine including the great church along with konos the all-in-two states territories and the clock it is well sorry about that uh... i've got to somebody just fit under a space that they should have been under and they might not be able to get out of well that'll keep busy for a minute anyway uh... it is another things were around here mark all i've got five have i have four-part keyboard operators uh... extraordinary here yes including really cool ones uh... anyway uh... it has been a perfect day out here little cool with them in the for no more than fifty at any given point but if you have a winner beginning of spring No precipitation so far, but we'll see what happens. Larry, what's it like in your neck of the woods? What's the date today? What's jumping off the wall? Down there in the middle of the old west. We now call it the Midwest. Go ahead. Well, this is Tuesday, the 16th of March, 2021 A.D. Here in Indiana, it's cloudy, lightly rainy, gonna be cloudy and lightly rainy for the next few days, probably through Friday. i've got uh... made in peppers coming up i've got other plants coming up i'm actually run a little bit late probably should have started a month ago but i'll get them in the ground anyway we'll see what it does the communists are doing everything they can to try and wipe out our food supplies so every year been practicing gardening last year is probably about the best one i'd had i did not do well in getting it in a harvested and can i've still got canada stuff from previous years but uh... Yeah, it was really, really pretty last year here. This year, if I don't use it, I'm going to try and at least get it to a food pantry or something. But I just do this stuff for the fun of it, Mark. I grow peppers and tomatoes and cabbage and you name it. I've been trying to grow it here. I'm in the middle of the woods and my light is kind of restricted to part of the day. So I've gotten picky about what I grow and what I don't. Some things just don't do well with that limited amount of sun here like radishes and other things. But by golly, I can grow a lot of stuff and it's kind of fun to do so. So yeah, onions, garlic, you name it. I've been throwing it in the ground and have been for years here. So going to start canning some chicken too. I noted that you can can chicken with the bone on it. I saw one uh... couple things where they'd actually put chicken legs in jars and can them i mean this the whole way through the doors and absolutely yeah i'd some people say you got to take the skinny got to take the bone off of stuff but uh... by gallium seen them do it i was watching the twilight zone the other day uh... had charles bronc in alism in montgomery on it and she grabs a can of uh... chicken legs off the shelf someone can actually do that i looked online sure as heck they've that's a good way to get info right now that's cheap These bastards have put $300 million in this COVID theft bill for animal surveillance. And you look at it and they list it. They detail a little bit SARS-2, COVID, something or other. But basically, they're putting $300 million in there so that they could start to eliminate chickens over bird flu, just like Chinese do. So chicken is plentiful in cheek. Can't have that. So, right now you see the prices of beef and hamburger, ground beef, all that stuff going up. They're going to do the same thing with chicken. This piece of garbage built Gates who deserves a bullet in his head for this COVID hoax that they started on us, the vent 201 in 2019. He wants you to eat bugs. He says there's lots more protein in the way to bugs than beef and stuff. Well, he can go to hell. I'll continue to... Buy a steak and bacon and whatever else I choose, even if it costs more. I'm telling you folks, if you get chickens, you better be stocking up on some feed and things, because heck, they may even put rules in place where you can't even buy feed for your chickens unless your chickens get their COVID papers. Real quickly... Go ahead, Mark. Well, not forget, on that note, remember, it's chicken chick time. So for everybody, if you go over to Tractor Supply or a lot of the other sites, uh... they've got their birds and now i'm a player some of the people that are listening right now they go over to uh... tractor supply at the end of the cycle and guys they want to get rid of the birds got left i want to tell up and usually you can get up for pennies you get a prayer you know literally pennies per bird uh... for what's left it'll be a mix uh... which is not a big deal the big thing of course is the free-ranging chicken thing which is another thing i think they really don't like because uh... it's more in the traditional older style chicken farming the slash general ranch farming that used to be done and the chickens were close to the property anyway the chickens won't graze that far away now if they are they soon become you know they've been well as you say the attrition rate from coyotes becomes very apparent uh... even during the day when you have packs of size and once we have here that is always a consideration so your dogs your cats your larger livestock helped actually keep some of that problem in check and uh... make no mistake cows actually don't like coyotes to the point where they it will turn around and go off and live on the body unit i when i worked on a farm i've learned a bunch of really fascinating things watching cows And, in fact, even with deer population around, Larry, I was on the tractor, running a dually rear end, old international, and I was going to actually switch some of the other gates so that the cattle could get from one field to the next. And I'm driving towards the one area, which is about a hundred acre rectangle, and there's a hill on the back end of it, and the cows are down by the marsh slash where the water is. All of a sudden, I don't, they can't see what's going on, I can't hear what's going on, but they all turn and do a regimented file like they are getting ready to fight. And there's two columns, one behind the other, but they line up side by side about two cows, a cow apart to two cows apart. And there's 150 head. And I'm looking where they look and they all turn their attention over the ridge. And over the ridge comes first a couple of does and then a little four point buck. And they are running hell bent for election. And the cows open up and parted and let the deer pass about 10 feet past the line. The deer halt. The cows close their ranks. And over the ridge there comes the dogs right there. and they these deer were chasing by the way guys kite will chase you know you think that just small deer they catch if they can't take a tag you know tag team and chase a deer it literally will it's heart will burst will have a heart attack uh... you can do that they got enough animals to do the bigger packs are multiple packs always remember that and this case is known as those uh... cows saw what the problem was the heads were down the eyes are straight and they're already to deal with the problem now you know what's funny Those dogs at the top of that Ridge Oh Stop dead in their tracks like the brakes were put on me now the brakes are trying to put the feet forward to stop themselves And they were about oh, I would say 80 yards away up on the top of the ridge They stopped come down a little bit as they stop Look turn right around go right back the way they came in the opposite direction So I gotta figure if I saw him do that once, and if watching the deer, guys, this is something we don't see all the time because it's not where we can see it. But I've personally seen that happen more than a few times. And that's when I was much, much, much younger. And learning things, I'm always learning things. the free-ranging thing like with the chickens you know again there there's an old book out there about you know farming on five it living on five acres farming on five acres and it's uh... it's the idea of a completely self-contained far where you do everything now you target you could use more acreage but remember that a five acre or a farm was affordable for the average person out there and if you were progressively you know adding to the you know the inventory cattle sheep or goats pigs chickens, ducks, geese, go right down the inventory. The idea is that each animal, as you use it, or as it's operating on the farm, helps to operate certain parts of the farm, make it work without you having to go outside of your ecology circle. Now they didn't use the word ecology, but most of you can relate to that. Again, it's animal husbandry is what it is. but the idea here like you said we're with chickens guys chickens are the most efficient critters to run and remember if you leave them free-ranging a lot of the problems you have with your yard to cease to exist even though remember they're constantly going after books including mosquitoes of low at low at low altitude of the like a linger in the grass bogs bob beetles you name it grubs and chubs embrace girls uh... hobbit wait a minute but uh... you know same idea they go after anything and everything about their plot they can have their their producing a fertilizer total hot but remember that i'll put it in one spot you can just kind of move and go where they want to so that's usually not much of a problem there the uh... if you want if you want to produce chemicals you really really want the chickens around for a number of reasons if you're a lot of people ask about reloading If you're going to go to archaic reloading, livestock and chickens especially are very useful for the basic components needed to make a move. So there's another reason it's not a bad idea to have the livestock and do a little medieval research and you'll be amazed at exactly what you can do on the farm. So let's make the mistake. The people pushing this garbage are our enemy. virtually our enemy work at war with them we are going to have fighting them i argue we should do it sooner rather later now with too late to discuss their the election the fake election garbage is never going to be fixed it's done so now the issue is how soon before we actually but bullets downrange and make this a genuine war for independence that's really where we need to be When I moved to the area where I'm at here in Indiana, I stopped at a restaurant for breakfast and they had some eggs and they were free-range eggs and the flavor for free-range eggs, in addition to the color, they've got kind of a deep orange color to them. They're very rich compared to the crap that you buy at the store. And I had just come from the city. I moved from Indianapolis and come out here and that's when I decided to start raising chicken. And back when I did that, they only had chicks right around tax time. And they were available for a short period of time and then they quit. Well here in Indiana for the past three, four years or more, they've had chicks year round at tractor supply and rural kings here in Indiana. So you can get chicks pretty much year round. Chicks, ducks, whatever, turkeys. But yeah, they're the Royal Kings and the tractor supplies all over so some are cheap and some are, you know, a few bucks. But I've got about a dozen hens right now. Four of them are a year or two old. The rest are fairly new. But I got them toward the end of the season last year. Chick produce eggs and I'm getting like eggs a day at 12 hens and that's pretty doggone good. But I particularly chose leggings. I got a couple of those. I got a couple of leghorns. Fogg horned leghorn. Remember them? A couple of those. Rod Rock is a good one. They're a good docile hen that likes to be broody and sit on eggs. You know, you get some that'll do that. Some might even hide for a while and come back with some chicks for you. And having seven cats here, that's not always good odds for them. But, yeah, two years ago on Mother's Day, I had a hen show up with 12 chicks. You can generate your own for free sometimes. It's a little patience, but, yeah, they generally care for them themselves. Warm enough, you don't really have to do much. are with them. So it's been interesting, it's been relatively cheap, but that may change. Right now a 50 pound bag of feed is going for about 13 bucks here for some decent feed. You can get some cheaper stuff they don't really like. I recommend the chickens for eggs. You're gonna have to do a little more work if you're wanting for meat. You know the male chickens are usually used for meat, you don't want to have too many roosters around anyway, but it's not hard. I've been on it for years here, so something else I wanted to point out, if you haven't heard about it, people have tried different ways to preserve eggs for periods of time. Some people have tried mineral oil, they used to have a product, HEG egg, and you can put on them. The easiest and cheapest way I have found to preserve egg, water glass. For heard of this, you take pickling lime. It's a white powder that's used for pickles when you go to pickle them, they're kinda crunchy. What I do is I stir up pickling lime to where you've got a white milky substance, I mean, some people will tell you to measure it out, you know, like a quarter cup per a... basically get it nice, white and milky, stir it up because it's going to settle anyway. You put your eggs in this white milky artery mix and you let them sit for a little while, left on the eggs, with the chicken leaves on them after they are ejected from their hind end. The bloom helps wash off, the eggs tend to deteriorate quicker. But you take relatively clean eggs, have the bloom on them, put them in this liquid and mark these things can last for up to two years at room temperature and I've done that. I've done it for over a year. And I mean, we're talking when you crack the egg and put them, you can't even tell that they're a year old. You know, some eggs, you do different things. They start looking weak. The yolk's kind of weak. It's pretty easy. I'm saying the yolk is good. The white is good. It's called water glassing. I'll take them out of that solution and just put them in until I'm ready to use them. Obviously, you got to be a little more careful with a container. You don't want to kick or shake it or anything. You could break the eggs. By God they'll stay room temperature and water for up to a year, possibly two, for glassing. Remember, leave it to be where they used to have eggs sitting out on the countertop in a bowl, room temperature, they didn't used to put them in the fridge. As long as you don't refrigerate, they're good for an indefinite period of time. Usually want to remember that there's a, like you said, if they're active eggs, remember if they're fertilized, then they're in motion. So designed to actually stay out of the chicken on top of them at room temperature. And that's why they were able to do that. Now once you refrigerate them, you have to keep them refrigerated. You can't leave them out after that. You've neutralized all of the, what basically is life product that's in there. Because remember, it's an egg, should tell you something. The other thing there too is again, use multiple systems for storage. And remember guys, you're gonna keep some on hand anytime you have excess. uh... the water treatment you know the live water treatment process you're talking about water storage that is especially useful if you have a work and remembers number different tricks ock that's crops were in dairies for it used for everything including what we're talking about right now everything from eight storage creamery cheese production go look at the older images of an actual dairy from pre say world war one and you'll get a better better feel for what I'm talking about including uh... for instance another thing with those chicken legs you were talking about let's not forget that pickling it was more common than just conventional canning for meats so you still have to do all the basics that you do with any other kind of containment you know with regard to storage but pickled chicken meat and pickled pork remember pickled pigs feet pickled pigs here uh... why because of the stuff that was still left over the one you're trying to do something with but it's not the only thing that was done if you've ever had to view had pickled heart pickled palm i wish to make that all the time but you know for real pickled pickled uh... beef tongue pickled beef heart uh... you could do any meat pork verm toughest chicken and and beef bar you know the two easiest uh... remember that if we go with baker's green acres they have that uh... all that red meat pork remember that something we haven't talked about a while now that that meet works differently but that's a heritage a breed but i think about their but uh... no again pickle baloney but i guess you'll see that a bar used to all the time everyone to a bar that was a traditional bar german or english uh... where it came from uh... any of these pickle like pickled eggs pickled uh... pickled beak pickled uh... uh... polish off the j that kind of stuff that was no that was ever just something to think about and pickled eggs are you know work just as well always can then feel pickled eggs and had among the shelf for what two three years without a problem really been again uh... really you know feel just like to what any other product to do with mason jars so-called so and i have again remember to as nancy probably point out one of the big things right now is that they're reminding everybody is that everything has a dual purpose You would strip the meat off those legs, but you would save the broth and the bone and make soup. Would that make bone broth? And of course, the soup, you already have the juices you already have. You can either pour the whole thing in after you strip the stock meat, but those bones are good for at least one other meal. And when they're done, save them up a little bit, throw them in the pressure cooker, zap them that way, give them to the dogs, give them to the cats. if you press your court most any of the bones you're going to turn them you know that you've turned on the dot to march but you will make them uh... they're they're not a threat to the animals that's the most common probably got people giving like a fall legs to uh... dogs you probably had the one of many of you listening to have this happen you give me a check of legs we're talking about they chew them up they are swallowing problem but they're correct And later on it's like, Fido seems to have some stoppage. He does. It worked like basically bamboo going through the lower bowel. And you end up either A, some people just do the dog in. Others take them to the vet and have the vet do a surgery and you find out just how bad an idea is to send, give chicken leg bones to. The cats are a little tough on them too, even though they're designed. They're intestinal, their digestive processes can handle most of that, but you're still precautionary. Makes no sense not to cause problems you don't need to, especially with critters that are all part of your working population on the farm. So something to think about there. Go ahead. We got you, caller. Go ahead. All right, buddy. This is my rice. Oh, I wouldn't freeze it. There's no need to. A couple of different tricks. Obviously, if you have seal-a-meal pouches, uh... if it is not if it's already bagged one of the things that i do is just take five gallon pale uh... you take a couple of bay leaves this is the quickest easiest way take a couple of a week to put over the bottom of the both five gallon pale uh... put so many of the two-pound bags of rice in there if you want throw a bay leave in the middle after you stack a bunch of men halfway let them you know put more bags in uh... for a couple of bay leaves on the top and your dry bay leaves and then uh... put the lid on it Now for the most part that will keep any critters down which you shouldn't really have too much in the way of parasites, you know, slash, bugaboos with the rice, but they are there. It's just they don't usually survive. But the other option is what we've done with CO2 and you can either can them or you can again, five gallon pail. Either way, go ahead. As long as it's kept dry, the rice really has an indefinite shelf life. uh... the big thing there again is remember pressure cooking is still one of the ways like we've talked about when you store beans although all the goons are getting a little hard down the road because there's oils and there's moisture in all of them uh... right is no different but it's uh... is a as a dried product like wheat the moisture content is part of what you use as your value count uh... everything is uh... usually uh... in parade form if it did wasn't dry enough when it was harvested they usually take and spent a little propane and dry everything out to whatever spec they want for moisture content and then it's bagged up accordingly but if you've got uh... you get food grade five-gallon pails uh... from all over the place uh... what we can what i typically do for instance like right now alums i've taken line of put a garbage bag uh... a bag inside the pail make sure it's all you know rolled out so there take so many bags of rice, so many bags of black beans, so many bags of brown beans, so many bags of pinto beans from the Dollar Tree, and fill up the whole lower layer. And then put a piece of cardboard in there, cut it out the size of the, you know, and then do it again. And fill it up so it's solid, roll up the bag, seal that up, and then put the lid on it. Go ahead, go ahead, Gollard, jump in there. Hey, I just wanted to do a quick channel shout out. There is a militia youtuber. Well, he's on other platforms now, but he has hundreds literally hundreds of videos he was a Soldier he was an engineer and a combat engineer Back in the late 90s. I'm guessing early 2000s. He has tons of videos that are probably the best militia youtuber I've seen he goes over really he hit some logistics really hard about how to keep stuff stored on it security guy 42 security guy 42 he thought he has a channel on YouTube and on his YouTube channel he has the link to all his other stuff I just wanted to shout him out he has a lot of really good videos in-depth militia based videos that I think should get out there he also has recommended you that's actually how I found you So I just wanted to throw that out there. Very good. Thank you. And again, the idea is to go through whatever videos are there. That's a good idea because storage, there's a bunch of different things that people have come up with. Personally, I love industrial Ziploc bags. I've got a couple sources right now where I'm getting a regular flow of them. And like I've told you a million times, guys, everything goes in the Ziploc bags. Everything. Shirts, electrical gear, underpants, t-shirts. All the medical supplies we've been talking about on the air, every one of them, all of the separate big heavy gauge industrial Ziploc bag of one size or another. And I never oversize, I always try to make it the size that fits, means that I've got a bigger bag for something else. You know, cause you know. Yeah, no. Go ahead, go ahead, call her. Yeah, no. Real quick, you were talking about the... The dogs eat the chicken bones and stuff And I've heard this They can eat them if they're raw if they're not cooked they can eat them no problem right? They two things happen number one their canine or keel do what they're supposed to do if they break them down chew them up and Then the digestive you know the digestive juices will break down the raw bone the cooked bone splinters right yeah thank you good point i think that is true that's what we're going to watch this the big thing is everybody wants to give the kitty or the puppy a treat and but you gotta watch that again you get the knuckles you give everything else the other thing that side tendon bone you know it goes down to a sliver try to avoid giving that to a much as waiting for trouble but you know you know i can be it the wrong they could eat them. Right. Well that's what they were saying. The farm, that's what they used to do. Everything was used. Nothing, by the time you were done slaughtering a chicken or butchering a hog or a cow, and I've seen it because we've done it when I was young. That's what I grew up with. When you cut the cow open, when you first of all kill it, boom, you know, pull it to the head, or you know, and cut it to bleed it, you don't want to suffer. You should be dead with that headshot. but uh... after that when you cut it open the stomach to take that off to the side you cut that open and you'll be you'll take it to the you drag it over to the chicken chicken pan and it would be other other parts go to the go go to the uh... forgive me go to the pigs effect when the checker to dot it goes over to the pigs anyway but uh... nothing goes to waste and everything has a second and third purpose you paid for the feed that in the car when fortunately call at the last meal it's it has that met the natural right thing uh... but when you're gone everything you've paid for you get more out of and i think that is a report that even with feeding that your your predator animals that are doing support the cancer support animals dogs are security and support animals people think about that way but Cats are pretty useful in that they will go after most of the smaller vermin. Now some are not a match form, which is why fluffy the wonder dog is there, you know, to the bigger ones, a new hind end, hopefully. And if not, then that's what your, you know, that's what your rifles are for. But everything is cohab, you know, co-cycling, cohabitate, you know, co-support. And that's how we need to get the license. Go ahead. I got it. I'm sorry, Mark. I got a, I got 165 pound key course over here that is caught presents and eaten them raw and he's got the feathers all over his face. He eats them raw and no problem. But I will never, you know, a cooked chicken, I will never give him that, you know, bones. Well remember, here's the basic rule, remember there's supposed to be scavenger predators That's what dogs are guys. If you weren't taking care of them, what would they be chewing on out there? It's like right now tonight, if you got a pack of coyotes out there, something's getting chewed on tonight. And they don't cook it. That's all they don't cook it, right? And you can't find much of anything left but the fur, okay? uh... if it gets really bad for a long time now they everything out there in fact if whatever they don't eat guess what we got porcupines that's why you don't see skeletons laying all over the all over the battlefield of the speaker or the critters are hunting each other it's because i don't know what else is taken advantage of that calcium and all those nutrients that are in those bones uh... i just wanted to clarify that chicken bones no way give that to your dog but raw maybe so right is that correct? Well that's the that's what I've heard I mean I'm familiar with it policy like I said the chicken bones usually go to the cats and the dogs get better they get the big bones. Good. You know yum yum yum no and not me. Uh yeah boy thank you I'm signing off. No thank you thank you for the input I appreciate that go ahead I heard another voice call or jump in there please. Just to say hello boys. and again they don't want to make too much noise because you don't take them with anything it goes boom you do it quietly and that way it doesn't even raise the ire of the other critters are coming in the e dot g you know we've got wild geese like we've never had to have that when i was little we still have the wild goose band okay we have all was limited for the for the but remember canada had a complete bad on and off and in fact in canada the law was that if you want to the market they had to leave the head on the good on on a good if they were selling it so they could prove that it was you know white uh... uh... commercial goes rather than uh... a canadian goes could people to deliver the article and but the thing is you've got to get bunnies dear turkeys turkeys are another one i mean we have flocks of turkeys like we've never seen in a part of that focus people like you and me raising a you know putting the birds out there they would have stayed didn't do that michigan states that i've been at the did nothing for they don't do anything if they felt that so you know a little bit of the like gory garbage like really did the moves up north and you know what's funny The moose we got in the Upper Peninsula were traded for turkeys from Michigan, right guys? Guess what? The turkeys were a private flock that a guy had up by Lewiston, Michigan, across from where we had our property up there. And he had raised them and he had this flock of about 200. Well, the state came in because there weren't any other flocks. Came in, stole his birds, so to speak, just squawked them, grabbed them all up. and declared them to be wild michigan turkey well they were wild but they weren't really michigan turkey in michigan the state of michigan had nothing to do with producing them and but we got like seven moves that they airlifted by helicopter from canada and dropped him in the upper peninsula for that but that's the only way they had the bargaining chip because we did it not because the state did it But all these flocks and populations you see now, we don't really want to mess them up if we can help it because it's true when the time comes, it's not going to take long for everybody to start turning their greedy eyes towards those critters. But that's better than eating people. So the more we have out there, the longer everybody will, you know, wait before they start trying to eat long pig. OK? Save the feathers. Well, do you think that 50 pound bags of sandbags would be better? you know all the time i've got you know i think all of the like we got a pellet burner okay we we were doing corn uh... we had one of the first corner as well we've got a pellet burner because the pellet are cheaper than the core now back when we had that little corn crunch who part of under uh... you know members several years back the thing is that every bag that i get from that i think i use it for everything from part to uh... sorting equipment or like that tonight i just use a couple of four uh... sorting a bunch of copper wire cabling i just got but using a percent bags as part of the purpose behind saving them your your all of your game for that all your dog and cat food bags everyone of those that that's right at night long that's and bag material here's how we do it though i think that you brought up all that explain some guys if you've got good fan bags are really the fancy go to beat in town kind of green and brown okay you save those off to the side When you sandbag the inside of your fortification, you use the bags that you just brought up, the cat food bags, the dog food bags, and you fill those up and tie those off. Now, when you get to the top of your position, the last couple rows of bags, and the outer bags that are going to be where they might be some exposé, some visibility, that's where your military bags go. Now, you see how much you saved? The more you do that, the more of the other bags for overhead cover you have and everything else in the browns, the greens, and the lomes. And then you still camouflage that up. But if anything gets exposed, because remember, what's a bag supposed to do? It's going to take hits. Well, you want the stuff that's neutral color up on top and out in front. Yeah, hey, this is Tex-Mex. Yeah, save the feathers on them turkeys because you can use them for arrows and for crossbow bolts. Crossbow bolts. Yeah, and darts. Don't forget we've talked about this. There's a guy on YouTube, go guys, go look up medieval darts, but that's going to bring a lot of other nomenclature to bear. and watch some of these videos we'd like to talk about this many times these guys are doing the basic fortress or infantry darts the way they were intended and using a throwing stick or any number of other techniques you're talking about sticking something through a pumpkin at uh... eighty yards a hundred yards i mean we're talking being able to throw one of these darts it's as big as your hand it's about the shaft is the size of a broom handle but the length is about twelve inches plus plus uh... no armored tip on the front he had a number of different tips that the except couple of these guys have developed and one of them has been doing their these very successful medieval test against armor uh... against just regular tissue you know using targets it would simulate a person how much would it penetrate all these suckers dig right in all the way to the shaft And so we're talking a lethal dart that can easily be projected. Remember, if you've got height, then you're dropping from above? Gravity sucks, dude. That's what darts originally were used for. You didn't have to have a launcher. It's why dart games came into play. Darts were not fun. Darts were a military competition the way they were established. It just became fun because we decided to do it in the pub where we ended up with guns and other stuff. But it's a fact, those feathers are for fletching for all of these tools are especially useful. Go ahead. Yeah, yeah, on the darts, I think in Vikings, they're in the Paris or yeah, the Paris siege, the Parisians dropped darts on the Vikings. Yeah. And there was another thing I wanted to go over with the dogs. Now I read in a book, I think it was a Conan book, this has been a long time ago and I think it was Conan. He had to get rid of some dogs in order to get into somewhere. And what he did, if I remember right, he caught some fish and took the bones out and then he doubled them up because they're still soft, put them in meat and then he threw them over the wall to get rid of the dogs. Would that really work? well i depend i guess that our aggressive the the bob how large or how aggressive the ball was because those are that one of those critters again dogs are scavengers should be able to eventually digest them but the if they were using it the way we're talking about their new selective There are certain, again, components that the critters just can't handle. One of the things that we're always leery of, because I live down the lake, is try not to let the dogs get into the bigger fish, especially if we had a dead garp pike show up. Because garp pike are like kind of what they were probably describing. It's all armored shell. It's literally a Jurassic Park-row fish. It's, I think, older than the carp. and it's got armored and and dagger do all of bone structure all through it it's tougher to help the court but if you've if it's what you had you'd eat it but if i've spirit of i've actually you have also also take them with arrow uh... garp hike and they have a monstrous you know uh... bone network that is bad for the combat for the critters they've survived quite well because of that their if something that typically most of most everything else stays away from even though we've only uh... underwater predators smaller garpa obviously getting like anything else but otherwise even though it's not as aggressive as far as you know the the jaw structure and everything still mean enough piker pretty tough to begin with but gar pike look them up that would be a little bit like for what he's talking about doing if that was what they were thinking is making it into like a barber uh... what they call it a milah or whatever it's like a like a worry that we can put in the meat and then the or you could work it into the meat i guess that would work but puppy i usually have a lot pallets go ahead i'm sorry to put it in a head and fold it it you know i see a bit that you know kind of you know we're with break but enough so that you know when it when the dog when it got done in the dog it would spring open but spring straight but uh... Also, I was going to just say that we've got guard down here too and they get pretty big in our legs. We've actually got on a trot line that was over 110 pounds. Yeah, they're fast also. That's why you got, I actually got pretty good with a few of them. I got my first time out. I, whether it was a lucky shot or actually just did what I was told to do, was one of the first things I got was when I was spearing was a guard pike. And they're usually last on the list of things to catch because they're a fast, they've got a tremendous response, they're fast and they're armored. And a lot of times you can make a hit, they won't stick, which is the biggest problem. You have to look at the fish. You'll be, guys, you can look these things up. You can take a look at the skeletal structure. There's all kinds of biological videos out there for all kinds of different subjects. And you can find gar pike. They're the lowest on the list for, I think I wanna eat this. In freshwater fish. In freshwater fish. There's all kinds of other critters in the salt and water that really aren't any better. Again, if it's what you had though, you're just going to be patient, put a stick right through, you know, right down its throat, hang it, let it cook or let it smoke. if you smoke it and you break it down you can you know leaf it apart you know it'll come apart of its own but you gotta go through a lot of bone fifty percent of it would be part you know armored armored bone and and and uh... uh... spinal construction Just heads up on that one. But again, these are good points, guys. You're going to have to be careful because there's a lot of critters out there that different construction and again, you've got different types of animals that you're taking care of. Some of the smaller domesticated breeds have a problem with almost everything, aren't necessarily what we call a working dog on the farm. but you've got to take that into consideration if you're going to keep all these animals or any animals you're going to have just like feeding your people you better have a solution for feeding your livestock and for if you know again integrated process if you can but you've got also remember you're going to need regular calories and consumption for all of your pets and that's why pets usually are working animals okay that's a term you'll see or we know there was another term for dogs it's called a working beep Okay, that's a working beep. And that means you'll be which, okay? But that's not derogatory, it's just that that's the dog's job. It's for protecting, to protect the place, it's not there to be friendly. And that's why there's also different dogs with different missions too. Just like, there's a house dogs. Okay, it used to be you had different layers of defense. And needless to say, dogs are obviously pack animals. Well, if we raise one to be a pack defense animal indoors, then you know all the trades, things you've got to deal with with an indoor animal. But on the other hand, perimeter or working animals for the farm, that's a different creature altogether. And in fact, typically wasn't as, let's just say, people integrated, which is the other thing you had to watch. Usually one person is the handler. Maybe two. It's bad to have just one. I gotta say that. I know a lot of guys who are dog handlers in the military. Guys, they train the military dogs where they used to train them in medieval times or you usually used to see on the farms. Problem, if the guy gets hurt, how do you get to him if the dog's not? And I had a friend of mine, like I said, all three of his Purple Hearts, he was a dog handler. He got shot twice, and of course each time they had to store the dog, and the only good thing is he never passed out, so he was able to get the dog under control. But the third time around, he took his face out, okay, took a look. He lost all his front teeth, busted his jaw, everything else, and... they had they had to store the dog for a longer period of time will they just get more content course when they don't see that one handler and many times they have to put the dogs down if the handler can't come back in a few with kia or wounded in action not returning that's basically how dogs used to be raised on bigger ranches there was a literally a dog designated dog handlers slash a man of who took care of the canines and the canines were there for a bear coyote cat and all the other little ones that are too friendly like your raccoons of we got big ass records in michigan okay are you a break our records to get up to sixty pounds just like if you actually have never seen a porcupine guys porcupines will get to be forty fifty pounds and gotta remember that that's just the height of the of the body that you can't be plus the bristle of the you know on the uh... spines and their that when they're that big The spine at the base is the thickness of a pencil. And they'll take a tire out. They'll take you run your car off the road. So now they're good eating also, porcupine is. But remember, you don't want the dogs. Another one you don't want the dogs into. There you go. But for all the other types of predator, the dog population was raised accordingly. Look at all the old, I guess what it explains like this. Look at all the old oil paintings. And I'm not talking the English fox hunts. go look at all of the old oil paintings or old imagery from pre-say 1900. And how many have you seen where the guys are on the hunt? Count how many hounds they've got with them. And the guy who was the handler, again, he raised every one of them with a mission. And of course he also knew he was going to have attrition, which is another thing that's hard on people because they're pets. So that's another thing we've got to be ready for. If you only have one dog, you may soon only have no dog. So go ahead, call her, jump in there. Yeah, Mark, this is Pluffy. What you were talking about earlier about darts, I was remembering how I saw in an article, these modern lawn darts with the longest bike are very much like the old war darts that were used. The resemblance is considerable because they're basically the same thing. Right, JARTS! Those are the modern plastic and steel versions. Yeah, and one more thing. There's a website called BARFF. I believe it went to a year ago. It stands for bones and raw food for your pets. And they have recipes and even recommendations on how to cook it. the pressure cooker is recommended for making bone soft. Well, in fact, for all of your dog food, if you were going to use or start doing a meal and meat or by-product food, a lesser pressure cooker for using or using for the critters to make up a, you know, take advantage of all the stock you have is something to take into consideration. Basically, you're making wet food. You can add a certain amount of grains, corn, a certain amount of wheat, or oatmeal for instance. And once it's cooked together like that, it's going to be infused with the flavor, which is what happens with your wet food. If you read the ingredients on the website, go ahead. Very good. We are almost at the top. Larry, jump in there. Anything else, sir? Yeah, I've been having fun listening to Mark. Yeah, I've got two dogs here, seven cats and a dozen chickens. Yeah, prices of dog and cat food is going to be going up too. Everything is going up, price of gas is going up, hyperinflation is beginning to kick in. Oh, and don't forget, we're going to get taxed more too. Well, after Mark. I've been posting on these boards, take your stimulus money, buy guns and ammo, and to hell with them on their taxes. Why give them your hard earned money to steal and miss spend and misuse? They've armed up the IRS, but we're going to have to kill these bastards. And they did all that in Trump's term. Remember that? Trump's term. He's just a stepping stone to what you've got now. And they want him just like they're running Biden. Okay, we've got another voice. Who do we have? Hey, this is Will from Florida. Hey, speaking of animals, I've got a question I've been thinking about, and I have a feeling I already know the answer that I'm not going to like. If you are an animal lover, like me, my girlfriend, what are we going to do? Because we have, let's just say, we have reptiles. One's that, I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, bearded dragons. When the power goes out, how the hell are we gonna keep those things alive? They require heat lamps. what the hell are we going to do final action i just inherited a bunch of that stuff from from when i'm old that somebody finally decide to pass on the summer of the died just uh... you know they've got all for free was quite expensive effect really well like really good like pictures i didn't know they made these uh... well again it's a matter of where you're if you're poor it should be a stop as it would be say up here where we are here in the summer or the wheel of the how the heated months that be one thing uh... otherwise it's trying to get it back to nature of the your best bet taker farther south and you know let it will roll the landscape if you want i i can't see otherwise unless you keep godless you have a retreat if you have a retreat and you have your able to commit power then that would be one of the reasons for having a retreat for setting up a place where if you really want something like that and i know everybody's got different type kind of pets i know you think it's an exotic that you know they are But it's a purely matter of how much you're willing to commit to and the way resources to keep things something like that going. You're in a good environment where if you wanted to get it to somebody else, you know, you might even plan on that. If there was a way where you knew that there would be an area that would be almost like, you know, sanctuary reptile, would be an option, just something to do. Don't put them in with the Crocogators, you know that. That'd be like feeding the Crocogators. uh... the ability of the but there is that if you look pollution i can think of it a free all the free roaming them down there or finding a place in advance for you know that well you know what probably not come back here is uh... donations of the speaker you know how would you like these because it's it's otherwise you're gonna have to figure that part of your you know how high what look at it what would would you be able to is it possible to budget something in the might not even be available you know what i mean Yeah, food is not a problem because you can work on that, but the other greens. Yeah. The biggest issue is, again, like you said, you heat. And the farther north you go, the more that's only a 50-50 option for the year. And that means half the year you've got to have a lot more specialized technology. By the way, just on that note, I had a couple of tomato plants. I did screw up. It was just a side project. i got three tomatoes off them uh... larry's knows we i have the reason the problem they want they grew just fine i ended up with basically about three little italian uh... post uh... soft tomatoes and then unfortunately got that cold spike in it just bled through some spot in the double panel by head and the tomatoes are more sensitive here's what's funny i got a florida i got a florida red uh... old creeper plant edit uh... survived just fine but the tomatoes did which i think is rather fascinating so again uh... that's one of those things where you just i i could have done a little more i didn't really get to protect it and i could have brought it even inside and i've been fine But there again, if you're going to have something like that, well, if you're going to do green housing tomatoes and greenhouse plants, the serious end is that you're going to have to properly tend them. You've got to protect them. And again, I think double or triple insulation is the way to go with panels. I use glass and also just some of the plastic over greenhouse covers. It worked okay for pretty much all the plants out there. The tomatoes are the only ones that took a last minute hit, only probably the last day of that little cold. And it just, it just, there was a red pot, you know, this happens inside buildings that are not really extensively heated. You can get off of the different, like there's a steel roof and you've got glass windows. I don't know, it's a focal point. And instead of heat retention, you have, you know, a temperature drop. And that's what happened. See, that's another problem with having the unique animals like that. Tropical birds have a similar problem. uh... just as a uh... a little benchmark a guys think about this uh... gallon not was at the houston zoo they lost all their primates to that cold they all died took care of the exotic reptiles they've made them the took care of the birds but they lost all of the monkeys they lost all the apes they lost everything froze to death quite hypothermia what they did doesn't need to be just people in fact a reptile put it this way called it or a couple of for taking better to take better care of the the monkeys were they're probably a couple of other monkeys they can have a little people yeah but they're like people from a tropical environment okay uh... what about we don't want to get this out before go ahead don't let us take off yet uh... real quick though italian bob bd u sets with the shirt pam and hat are fourteen ninety five over at major surplus dot com w w w dot major surplus dot com www.MajorSurplus, these are new. They are Italian BDU sets in Italian vegetato, okay? 14.95, they only have been sized large. Guys, over at Sportsman's Guide, the, uh, just the tops are $18. You're getting a whole uniform for 14.95 over at MajorSurplus.com. Now over at Swiss Link, I was thinking, okay, maybe they got some. Yes, they do. $85 a set. And these are used. $85 a set. So instead, for one complete set over at majorsurplus.com, majorsurplus.com, you get a patrol hat, you get a BDU blouse in the newer cut, along with a pair of BDU pants. They are in the Italian vegetata. and it is $14.95 per set. That's everything. Just cheaper than you can buy the pants or the shirt by itself for with anybody else I've looked at. And in size large only, here's the thing, the other ones I mentioned, two of the places I checked quick while we were on break only have large, just like they do at major surplus, but they want three times, four times, six times as much. so heads up that's a good buy over brand new uniforms uh... take advantage of on the look at up like most the other patterns that again for clothing that tactical get a couple that for yourself if you can fit into these go take a look at the spec go to major surplus dot com major surplus then go to a tad gold search italian bd you set Bracket Italian vegetado bracket. They're 14 95. They're in vegetado camo and they are size large Anyway, we're gonna go down. We're gonna get out of the way for everybody out there number of subjects we covered Anyway, God bless our republic. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen of the Empire. Is that the run? We're in the march. Somebody out there, some of you know I'm sure said the Asselors eat the lizards. Yeah, but they're cats and they actually are pretty deep. We gotta come up with solutions. Of course that thing's gonna be the eat-some, but in the meantime we'll figure out maybe something better. Larry, thanks for being here, sir. Thank you, Mark. We are gonna eat the chickens. We ought to give you solutions on that one. Also pay attention, graphite rod, people were doing kites right now. Here there, graphite rod, somebody tossed down. I looked him up, there's 20 dollars a piece, I thought they were arrow shafts. More money than brains, that's what I'm saying. I'm gonna use them for something else though, like maybe an antenna for one of the pieces of equipment. We're getting out of here, God bless, Ed taking over, more LTR coming up. You know, the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny, not to hunt, to protect yourself from the police. Anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead. Anybody that wants to make me unarmed and helpless, people that want to literally create the proven places where more innocents are killed called gun-free zones, we're going to beat you. We're going to vote you out of office or suck on my machine gun. What do we do? Politicians.
