WEBVTT
00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:57.780
Survive, thrive, stay alive.
00:00:58.100 --> 00:01:04.180
It's time to get repair with the Prepping Academy podcast.
00:01:10.180 --> 00:01:13.060
Hey, welcome everyone to the Prepping Academy.
00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:14.180
I am forced.
00:01:14.980 --> 00:01:18.099
Oh, this is going to be a tough subject.
00:01:18.340 --> 00:01:21.460
People have opinions like crazy.
00:01:21.620 --> 00:01:24.020
This is bug in or bug out.
00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:28.980
What actually makes sense for you and your family?
00:01:29.939 --> 00:01:35.219
And you know, we've watched movies, we've read books, and everyone has their opinions.
00:01:36.020 --> 00:01:46.020
And we're gonna discuss it today, and hopefully, maybe we can help you decide what is maybe best for you and your family.
00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:56.819
I'll give you my opinions on several things, but hey, just want to let you guys know that we are grooving, we're just moving and grooving.
00:01:57.140 --> 00:02:02.500
We got, you know, Patrick's been putting out podcasts, I've been putting out podcasts, we've been pretty steady.
00:02:02.820 --> 00:02:04.820
Prepper Net is growing.
00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:13.379
We have more city meetings than any other organization in the world when it comes to the preparedness.
00:02:13.780 --> 00:02:17.219
We have been just absolutely tearing it up.
00:02:17.540 --> 00:02:22.180
We're we got a lot of things, I mean, we're working on as well.
00:02:22.420 --> 00:02:29.860
We've done redone the prepernet site, we've redone what else have we done?
00:02:30.019 --> 00:02:32.659
We've done, we've done a lot of work.
00:02:38.980 --> 00:02:44.980
We've done the prepping academy site, we've redone the prepper shows USA.
00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:49.139
I've done my personal page, forescarvin.com.
00:02:50.100 --> 00:02:58.340
We've I've redone all the websites and got some pretty, I mean, I'm I'm posting blogs on a lot of these.
00:02:58.579 --> 00:03:01.379
So go check them out and just go to prepernet.com.
00:03:01.460 --> 00:03:04.420
You'll see all the links there, all the partners that we have.
00:03:04.660 --> 00:03:07.379
And hopefully, yeah, you can get.
00:03:07.459 --> 00:03:11.620
I mean, I'm I'm I'm posting some great links with some some AI photos.
00:03:11.699 --> 00:03:12.339
It's okay.
00:03:12.500 --> 00:03:17.459
AI is not all totally evil, but yeah, go check that out.
00:03:18.339 --> 00:03:24.819
Everybody's like, we we don't use Facebook a lot because literally Facebook turned on us, and it's hard to forgive them.
00:03:24.980 --> 00:03:26.579
So we have our own social media site.
00:03:26.660 --> 00:03:33.780
If you go to prepper net.com, you will see and and and read about that and and see we're talking about.
00:03:33.860 --> 00:03:35.379
Oh, and I got some I do.
00:03:35.459 --> 00:03:39.780
I have a uh one post I posted about America's birthday.
00:03:39.939 --> 00:03:44.500
So anyway, preppernet.com, and you'll see the blogs there.
00:03:44.740 --> 00:03:51.939
You'll see I got a free ebook you can go and get on PACE, on you know, planning your your PACE.
00:03:52.500 --> 00:04:09.139
If you guys don't know what PACE is, you know, PACE is an acronym for primary, alternative, contingency, and emergency, and you can comply that to communications with meetup with with your family, with just about everything.
00:04:09.300 --> 00:04:15.379
You can go put your email address, your and your first name, and you can download the book.
00:04:15.459 --> 00:04:22.740
And not only is there a book, I put together a workbook to go with it as well to help you in your planning.
00:04:22.980 --> 00:04:24.339
And that's all you need.
00:04:24.420 --> 00:04:27.860
I mean, that literally gets you started, and it's it's absolutely free.
00:04:28.100 --> 00:04:31.939
And you can go to prepernet.com and download that.
00:04:32.180 --> 00:04:35.620
So today's topic is a tough one.
00:04:35.780 --> 00:04:42.420
I have met and consulted with almost a hundred, well, over a hundred groups really.
00:04:42.899 --> 00:04:49.699
And most of the groups are bugging out, and it's always like, do we need to bug out?
00:04:49.780 --> 00:04:50.819
Do we not need to bug out?
00:04:50.899 --> 00:04:52.740
Do we need to have bug out property?
00:04:53.060 --> 00:05:04.259
So I would consider myself one of humbly, I consider myself one of three experts in the field in the United States.
00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:06.100
And I'll I'll name the other two.
00:05:06.180 --> 00:05:10.259
One of them is Jonathan Hollerman, and one of them is Charlie Hogwood.
00:05:10.420 --> 00:05:18.659
Jonathan Hollerman does wrote a book called Survival Theory, and it's one of the best preparedness books I've ever read.
00:05:18.899 --> 00:05:21.379
And Jonathan is a good friend of mine.
00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:29.379
I'm actually on one of his sites as a like a I don't know, expert counsel or something or whatever.
00:05:29.539 --> 00:05:30.659
He's on mine as well.
00:05:30.819 --> 00:05:32.579
And then Charlie Hogwood as well.
00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:56.579
He wrote the book called Survival Groups, and he's been a friend, he's helped me teach classes, and yeah, and so I I would say between the three of us, they're they're yeah, we've consulted for probably over 500 groups, and I don't know anyone that consults as as much as we do, actually.
00:05:56.740 --> 00:05:59.539
I'm not I'm not tuning my horn, I'm tuning theirs.
00:05:59.779 --> 00:06:02.500
They've been doing it longer than I have.
00:06:02.579 --> 00:06:06.500
I've been doing it for 10 years, and both of them have been in the business longer than me.
00:06:06.740 --> 00:06:10.099
But we've worked on projects together, groups together.
00:06:10.339 --> 00:06:15.060
So, anyway, this is a subject everyone we we it always comes up.
00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:17.860
But do I bug in or do I bug out?
00:06:17.939 --> 00:06:20.180
So everyone loves the idea of bugging out.
00:06:20.339 --> 00:06:28.019
I mean, they've seen movies, they've read books, and yeah, it's just so glorious and glamorous to bug out.
00:06:28.259 --> 00:06:33.459
Grabbing your bag, heading into the woods, starting fresh in a safer place.
00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:35.139
This is gonna be great.
00:06:35.300 --> 00:06:36.899
I'm in charge now.
00:06:37.459 --> 00:06:47.219
And you know, but the reality is that most people will fail absolutely on their face in a short amount of time.
00:06:47.620 --> 00:06:49.779
And I do we have facts on this?
00:06:50.099 --> 00:06:51.620
Yes, we do.
00:06:51.860 --> 00:06:57.699
I've interviewed many people, people that let's say for Selko that was in Bosnia.
00:06:57.860 --> 00:06:59.699
Oh, yeah, he had his bug out bag.
00:06:59.860 --> 00:07:01.939
He says the I mean, terrible.
00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:07.060
Just you go, you can go and listen to the the interviews that I've done with him.
00:07:07.219 --> 00:07:15.539
I've interviewed people from Argentina when they were running from the government, Venezuela when they were hiding from the government.
00:07:15.779 --> 00:07:22.180
And uh these have been on past podcasts, and they're like, Yeah, yeah, I should have stayed home or I should have got out.
00:07:22.420 --> 00:07:26.659
Everyone, it for every person is a different, different decision.
00:07:26.819 --> 00:07:34.500
Today we're going to break down the bugging in and bugging out theory because yeah, you haven't done it yet.
00:07:35.219 --> 00:07:42.339
And what actually makes sense for you today, and why most people are getting this completely wrong.
00:07:42.500 --> 00:07:43.779
A lot of people, they just do.
00:07:43.939 --> 00:07:48.579
They just, you know, you got the man in the house that's all tactical.
00:07:48.740 --> 00:07:50.339
He's like, let's get out of here.
00:07:50.500 --> 00:07:53.379
It's not safe, which that's true for a lot of people.
00:07:53.539 --> 00:07:55.459
For me, it's true where I live.
00:07:55.620 --> 00:08:00.979
I've got 5,000 people that live within a mile and a half of my house.
00:08:01.219 --> 00:08:02.339
That's a lot of people.
00:08:02.500 --> 00:08:04.019
I'm not gonna stay and fight them.
00:08:04.899 --> 00:08:08.740
So, but hey, again, thanks for joining the prepping academy.
00:08:08.819 --> 00:08:15.860
We're gonna get right into this, but uh just to let you know, I do have over 20 years experience in the prepping and consulting.
00:08:16.099 --> 00:08:19.060
Well, consulting is about 13 years.
00:08:19.539 --> 00:08:28.339
So, but it's been it's been a minute, and so I'm not saying I'm an expert, I'm saying I'm one possibly an expert, maybe.
00:08:28.579 --> 00:08:31.060
If you don't like what I say, then that's fine.
00:08:31.219 --> 00:08:32.500
It's totally fine.
00:08:32.740 --> 00:08:34.100
So most people get it wrong.
00:08:34.259 --> 00:08:35.700
Why do they get it wrong?
00:08:35.940 --> 00:08:50.820
Because they read books, they watch movies, they think they have all the experience and knowledge that they need, and they can just, I mean, if you want to test it, go out for three weeks in the wilderness and see how you can live.
00:08:51.060 --> 00:08:54.820
No, now if you have a retreat, that's different.
00:08:55.060 --> 00:08:58.100
You have a place to go, that's different.
00:08:58.420 --> 00:09:02.580
You think you can go like commandeer a building and take it over?
00:09:02.899 --> 00:09:06.899
You know, that's a lot of ifs, because what if the janitor shows up?
00:09:06.980 --> 00:09:08.100
What if the owner shows up?
00:09:08.180 --> 00:09:10.340
A lot of people have these ideas.
00:09:10.580 --> 00:09:14.019
I'll go to the campground down the street and just kind of take.
00:09:14.180 --> 00:09:16.899
Yeah, other people have that same thought.
00:09:17.139 --> 00:09:21.940
And they might not be in, it might not be in your best interest to be around them.
00:09:22.420 --> 00:09:33.460
But, you know, and also fantasy, oh, how you know, you know, all these different shows and you know, how everyone just survives easily, even alone.
00:09:33.940 --> 00:09:43.140
The guys go out and they spend 60, 70, 80 days, but it is oh, just that's they could not spend any longer.
00:09:43.379 --> 00:09:47.140
I remember Alan Kay, friend, friend of the show, friend of PrepperNet.
00:09:47.379 --> 00:09:53.860
He won the first series, and he was probably made it the easiest than some of the other ones.
00:09:53.940 --> 00:10:06.500
And he was he has many times said how difficult it is, and then you know, parts of it were easy for him because he was very, very experienced.
00:10:06.980 --> 00:10:13.300
Yeah, they they um I think Chris Weatherman was in that one too, and he he kind of got knocked out really soon.
00:10:13.540 --> 00:10:16.660
But the reality is most people aren't trained for the wilderness.
00:10:16.820 --> 00:10:18.740
Now, if you go to a house, that's different.
00:10:18.980 --> 00:10:27.940
Like you go to, you know, a mountain house or a house out in you know, farmland, that's different, but it still brings up some of the same issues.
00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:32.020
They don't understand the logistics of getting all their stuff there.
00:10:32.180 --> 00:10:36.740
You better have your stuff wherever you're going before you have to bug out.
00:10:37.140 --> 00:10:45.140
You would hate to have to carry everything you need there on your back, even in your car, because you put it at risk of people stopping you.
00:10:45.460 --> 00:10:57.379
I do, I do make this statement, and I've made this statement for years, that those that know, and we and that's people listening to this podcast right now, we have an advantage.
00:10:57.700 --> 00:11:03.140
People don't know that when things, events happen, that they don't even think bug out.
00:11:03.220 --> 00:11:05.700
They think, huh, this is gonna be kind of interesting.
00:11:05.780 --> 00:11:07.460
Let's see how this plays out.
00:11:07.940 --> 00:11:15.780
But as preppers, we would go, wow, this is gonna turn out bad, which gives us a little bit more time than everyone else.
00:11:15.940 --> 00:11:17.860
I would say 12 to 24 hours.
00:11:17.940 --> 00:11:19.300
I really believe that.
00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:21.940
People just think, well, it's not gonna be that bad.
00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:25.060
This is America, we can get through this.
00:11:25.300 --> 00:11:30.740
Well, I'm gonna miss a few days of work, and they just don't really think it through.
00:11:30.820 --> 00:11:33.140
They've never thought it through like we have.
00:11:33.540 --> 00:11:35.379
This is our advantage.
00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:37.620
We need to take advantage of that.
00:11:37.940 --> 00:11:48.500
Go and get what you need at the stores if you can, you know, get your gas, everything topped up, buy wherever you can, get a U-Haul, and get then get out of Dodge.
00:11:48.660 --> 00:11:51.620
The great thing is, most of the things you buy, you can take back.
00:11:52.340 --> 00:11:53.860
Let's just be real there.
00:11:54.340 --> 00:12:02.580
So, so you know, most people also do not bug out if you don't have a place to go, just don't do it.
00:12:03.060 --> 00:12:06.900
I I you know, I I told this one lady and she's like, Where do we bug out to?
00:12:06.980 --> 00:12:14.259
I'm like, if you ma'am, if you don't have a place to go, you know, your best choice is stay home, defend it, die at home.
00:12:14.740 --> 00:12:19.860
She looked at me all bugged out, you know, bug-eyed, and I'm like, listen, that's the truth.
00:12:20.100 --> 00:12:21.940
So just just stay home.
00:12:22.820 --> 00:12:24.340
And she goes, So I need a place.
00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:25.780
I'm like, you need a place.
00:12:25.940 --> 00:12:26.500
Yeah.
00:12:26.740 --> 00:12:30.580
Bugging out with the without a plan is just disaster.
00:12:30.740 --> 00:12:31.460
It really is.
00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:36.980
You don't want to again listen to my podcast I did on when I interviewed Selko.
00:12:37.140 --> 00:12:40.580
I've interviewed him several times and different parts.
00:12:40.740 --> 00:14:00.910
So listen to them all, and he will tell you the true nature of bugging out and not having a place to go.
00:14:01.790 --> 00:14:04.750
So bugging out is not the people aren't prepared.
00:14:04.830 --> 00:14:19.230
Are you prepared to take your entire family, feed them, protect them from wild animals, people wherever you're going, even if that is, you know, a house, a mountain house, or you know, a farmhouse or something, it's it's it's difficult.
00:14:19.550 --> 00:14:23.149
I'm not saying staying at home is not difficult because it can be.
00:14:23.389 --> 00:14:26.269
But bugging in is a little different.
00:14:26.509 --> 00:14:43.790
You have an advantage because you feel at home, you know the area, you know the supplies, you know you have shelter, you're you're your lower risk to the environment, to animals, your major risk is people.
00:14:44.350 --> 00:14:47.310
Which where your house is, there's probably a lot of people.
00:14:48.830 --> 00:14:56.670
The people there's a there's a good there's a good YouTube video, and I believe this is it, and I hope it's still on the on YouTube.
00:14:56.990 --> 00:15:00.350
It's called 72 hours to anarchy.
00:15:01.389 --> 00:15:04.670
You need to watch that.
00:15:04.910 --> 00:15:16.670
It goes back in history when people absolutely lose their mind, and after 72 hours, they literally start attacking their neighbors for food.
00:15:16.910 --> 00:15:19.310
That's and you're like, well, we're in America.
00:15:19.389 --> 00:15:24.350
That's never that's happened in every society throughout history.
00:15:24.590 --> 00:15:29.790
When people believe there's no more food coming, all heck breaks loose.
00:15:30.670 --> 00:15:31.790
Watch the video.
00:15:31.950 --> 00:15:37.149
I think it's and you know, I will try to find that and link that in the show notes because it's that important.
00:15:37.629 --> 00:15:41.230
And it's called I think it's called 72 hours to anarchy.
00:15:41.470 --> 00:15:46.350
And it's an old, it's been out there for five, six years, but it's a good video.
00:15:46.590 --> 00:15:48.590
It really makes you think a lot.
00:15:48.830 --> 00:15:56.910
So bug it in, but so you you you you don't have to relocate, all your goods are there, you can store your goods at home.
00:15:57.149 --> 00:15:59.870
It is much, it's just much easier.
00:16:00.830 --> 00:16:03.310
You know, if the grid's down, there's no power.
00:16:03.389 --> 00:16:04.190
So, what do you do?
00:16:04.350 --> 00:16:07.710
You could have some backup power because you're at your home.
00:16:08.350 --> 00:16:11.550
Again, the biggest problem staying at home is people.
00:16:11.950 --> 00:16:13.070
Number one issue.
00:16:13.230 --> 00:16:24.350
Now, if you're out in suburbia and there's no, you know, there's only you know a few hundred people around you, hey, that might be a good alternative.
00:16:24.830 --> 00:16:40.830
If you could partner with some other people in your neighborhood or your cul-de-sac or along your street, that could be that might be the best choice for a lot of people where the kids can sleep in their own bedrooms or at least their own house.
00:16:40.990 --> 00:16:46.350
And so, yeah, I I do like that scenario for a lot of people.
00:16:46.590 --> 00:16:53.149
If you don't have a retreat or a place to go, grandma's house or Aunt Jenny's house or something like that.
00:16:53.710 --> 00:16:58.350
If there's not a lot of people, I would always try to stay at home.
00:16:58.590 --> 00:17:08.430
If there's a lot of people, I mean, but you still have to partner up with other groups, you have to build a tribe, and you have to talk to other people and kind of plan this beforehand.
00:17:08.590 --> 00:17:09.390
Don't wait.
00:17:09.630 --> 00:17:15.150
Cell Co would tell you don't wait on any of the planning, no matter what you do, bugging in or bugging out.
00:17:15.390 --> 00:17:18.269
Do it before the event happens.
00:17:18.750 --> 00:17:24.910
But you know, but so yeah, I'm I'm a big fan of bugging in.
00:17:25.550 --> 00:17:26.990
Again, if there's not a lot of people.
00:17:27.150 --> 00:17:35.310
If you're if you got a thousand people within a mile, I'm just saying, if the power doesn't come back on, you you're screwed.
00:17:35.710 --> 00:17:38.830
You can't, you, you're, you, you're just you just are.
00:17:39.150 --> 00:17:42.350
You've got to be you got to be planning to get out.
00:17:42.509 --> 00:17:51.070
What that magic number is, I don't know that, but I know like there's a town, I don't know, an hour and a half from here called Pagelin.
00:17:51.230 --> 00:17:55.310
There's probably 600 people in the town, and it's spread out.
00:17:56.350 --> 00:17:58.509
I would I would stay home there.
00:17:58.750 --> 00:18:06.190
If I live in Raleigh, Kerry, New York, you know, Philadelphia, you've got to get out of Dodge.
00:18:06.269 --> 00:18:08.110
You've got to get away from people.
00:18:08.350 --> 00:18:14.750
You need to be in a place where there is only 15, 30 people per mile.
00:18:14.910 --> 00:18:15.470
That's it.
00:18:15.630 --> 00:18:19.070
I mean, you've got the bet the less people, the better.
00:18:20.030 --> 00:18:25.470
So bugging out though is it's just it's dangerous.
00:18:25.630 --> 00:18:27.470
Just getting to your location.
00:18:27.790 --> 00:18:29.230
Have they got roadblocks?
00:18:29.310 --> 00:18:32.830
Have people already taken over your location?
00:18:33.710 --> 00:18:35.470
Is it really a better position?
00:18:35.630 --> 00:18:37.470
If it's away from people, yes.
00:18:37.630 --> 00:18:39.310
If you can get there, go.
00:18:39.870 --> 00:18:48.750
I teach people a lot of the time most of the time when I actually consult with people, it's about getting them out of their current location.
00:18:49.150 --> 00:18:50.830
That's the number one thing.
00:18:51.070 --> 00:19:04.269
Uh again, from people from California to Canada to throughout the United States, is getting them to a safer area where they have the potential to survive.
00:19:04.509 --> 00:19:16.990
You don't have the potential to survive, you don't have the skills with your family and protecting your family to survive in a community where there's a thousand people less than a mile.
00:19:17.310 --> 00:19:19.630
The herd always wins.
00:19:20.110 --> 00:19:22.430
Zombie World will happen.
00:19:22.590 --> 00:19:25.150
Again, don't want to be the dead horse.
00:19:25.230 --> 00:19:27.230
Go listen to the Cell Co interview.
00:19:27.470 --> 00:19:31.390
And zombie herd zombie herds always win.
00:19:31.870 --> 00:19:36.430
And but if you do have a bug outlocation, it requires planning.
00:19:36.510 --> 00:19:44.510
It reply requires you going there, setting things up, setting supplies up, having backups, having everything you need there.
00:19:44.910 --> 00:19:54.350
Matter of fact, in my group, which we've had my group since Y2K, we've had a retreat since 2001.
00:19:54.830 --> 00:19:58.030
So we've had a retreat for literally 25 years.
00:19:58.350 --> 00:20:02.670
You find another one in the world that's done that, and I'll give you money.
00:20:02.830 --> 00:20:03.710
There hasn't been.
00:20:03.790 --> 00:20:04.430
There's not one.
00:20:04.510 --> 00:20:05.870
They don't survive.
00:20:06.110 --> 00:20:09.070
But we've had a retreat for 25 years.
00:20:09.710 --> 00:20:10.990
We're planned there.
00:20:11.070 --> 00:20:18.350
We got so the idea for the families is every family has enough to stay at your house for three months.
00:20:18.590 --> 00:20:19.630
That's it.
00:20:20.910 --> 00:20:27.710
We want you to risk your life to get to the retreat because we need you there.
00:20:28.030 --> 00:20:30.510
So you don't have a lot of stuff at your home.
00:20:30.750 --> 00:20:36.430
Matter of fact, 95% of your supplies are at the bug out location.
00:20:37.070 --> 00:20:40.270
Because we want you to risk your life to get there.
00:20:40.510 --> 00:20:45.630
Because we know if you stay there, you're probably not going to make it.
00:20:46.270 --> 00:20:49.390
And so, and we need you at the retreat.
00:20:49.870 --> 00:20:54.990
But it takes planning, you gotta have a destination, logistics.
00:20:56.270 --> 00:20:57.710
I got some good examples.
00:20:57.790 --> 00:21:02.030
Let me throw one at you for 20 seconds, let you just ponder on this.
00:21:02.270 --> 00:21:05.150
Well, I don't have a retreat, I don't have a place to go.
00:21:05.390 --> 00:21:19.150
Well, find an Airbnb out in the middle of nowhere, rent a shed, you know, like a storage unit, and put all your stuff in there, and then go and take care of that property when the grid goes down and people are killing each other in the city.
00:21:19.310 --> 00:21:21.550
You go take care of it for the owner.
00:21:22.110 --> 00:21:23.390
Just the thought.
00:21:23.630 --> 00:21:26.110
I don't want to get any more information of that.
00:21:26.350 --> 00:21:29.790
So one of the biggest mistakes is not having a destination for sure.
00:21:30.110 --> 00:21:31.070
No route planning.
00:21:31.150 --> 00:21:31.950
You gotta have a route.
00:21:32.030 --> 00:21:34.110
You just don't want to hit on the interstate and go.
00:21:34.190 --> 00:21:35.550
And it needs to be close.
00:21:35.790 --> 00:21:43.470
When I say close, I'm saying three to four hours because, again, I believe we have a head start.
00:21:43.710 --> 00:21:45.310
I believe we have a head start.
00:21:45.550 --> 00:21:47.390
We will see always bug out.
00:21:47.470 --> 00:21:52.270
I mean, always my my group, we bug out, something small happens.
00:21:52.510 --> 00:21:58.030
And then we get there, we have a good party, hang out, then we all leave if nothing, if it's no big deal.
00:21:58.270 --> 00:22:01.230
That's the type mindset you need to be in.
00:22:01.470 --> 00:22:03.230
Always, always leaving.
00:22:03.630 --> 00:22:05.950
Just in if you have a place to go.
00:22:06.510 --> 00:22:09.630
Don't decide at the moment, well, let's go to grandma's house real quick.
00:22:09.710 --> 00:22:11.630
Yeah, you should have already planned that.
00:22:11.790 --> 00:22:13.310
That's that's bad on you.
00:22:13.470 --> 00:22:14.910
That's shame on you.
00:22:15.150 --> 00:22:19.150
You you should love your family a little bit more to think about it than in the last second.
00:22:19.230 --> 00:22:24.110
Let's go to Ant's house and and not have it all set up and all planned.
00:22:24.270 --> 00:22:26.590
That's just that's just wrong.
00:22:27.150 --> 00:22:29.230
You will pay for that decision.
00:22:29.550 --> 00:22:39.310
Is so some of the questions this, you know, when you're as you're pondering what to do and where to go, is is your safe, is your you know, current location safe?
00:22:39.630 --> 00:22:41.310
Have it short-term, long-term?
00:22:41.470 --> 00:22:45.790
I mean, long term, did people from the city finally get to your location?
00:22:46.030 --> 00:22:48.510
Do I have enough resources here to stay?
00:22:48.750 --> 00:22:57.150
I mean, if you you say, yeah, I got enough food for a year, but do you really, if people come and break into your house because you can't stop them?
00:22:57.950 --> 00:23:00.750
Do I have a safe destination to go to?
00:23:00.990 --> 00:23:03.390
Grandma's house, Aunt Jen's house?
00:23:03.710 --> 00:23:05.870
Okay, it is three hours away.
00:23:06.190 --> 00:23:07.230
Can we get there?
00:23:07.390 --> 00:23:14.670
Well, would they let me go and maybe build a barn, put a little structure on there to put some of our our you know, food?
00:23:14.910 --> 00:23:15.870
Can I talk to them?
00:23:16.030 --> 00:23:17.790
Will they think we're crazy?
00:23:18.110 --> 00:23:34.910
Should I just go down to the you know a little town down the street from their house and start packing all the food and supplies there instead of storing it at grandma's house where she thinks you guys are crazy, you know, and then just show up and say, hey, we got all the supplies, we just have to go get it.
00:23:35.230 --> 00:23:36.590
Can you get there safely?
00:23:36.750 --> 00:23:42.510
I mean, yeah, don't don't be going through the city or the hood to get to your place.
00:23:42.750 --> 00:23:50.270
So the question is the bit the I mean, the number one question am I better off staying or am I better off going?
00:23:51.150 --> 00:23:56.190
Bugging in, better off bugging in or hitting the road, bugging out.
00:23:56.350 --> 00:23:59.950
These are the questions and things you need to determine now.
00:24:00.830 --> 00:24:05.630
Like literally last week, but now then you need to start planning this.
00:24:05.870 --> 00:24:06.350
I will tell you.
00:24:06.830 --> 00:24:07.870
I am writing a book on this.
00:24:07.950 --> 00:24:28.510
It's not gonna be to it's it's been it's it's called the complete guide for survival groups, and it is it's taken me a long time because in the middle of writing this book, I started writing another one on privacy and AI and you know facial identity, all this kind of stuff, facial rec, you know, recognition, all this kind of.
00:24:28.910 --> 00:24:30.190
I'm like, I gotta get this out.
00:24:30.270 --> 00:24:33.950
This is you know, so I'm but I I am coming out with a book.
00:24:34.030 --> 00:24:36.830
It's I it we're months and months away.
00:24:36.910 --> 00:24:38.510
So don't don't be waiting for it yet.
00:24:38.670 --> 00:24:40.430
You need to start planning now.
00:24:41.390 --> 00:24:43.870
So, but real real world scenario.
00:24:43.950 --> 00:24:45.710
I mean, let's say if the power goes out.
00:24:45.870 --> 00:24:48.590
Our power went out the other night for 12 hours.
00:24:48.830 --> 00:24:49.790
Makes me so mad.
00:24:49.950 --> 00:24:52.670
That's the only time I want to cuss is when power goes out.
00:24:52.830 --> 00:24:54.670
I'm like, why is my dang power out?
00:24:54.990 --> 00:24:57.470
I would say if your power goes out, you just stay there.
00:24:57.550 --> 00:25:01.790
I mean, because you can see on the map these days, you still got internet, you know, with your phone.
00:25:01.950 --> 00:25:04.110
Well, it's just you know, 400 homes.
00:25:04.190 --> 00:25:09.070
We were we had 2,000 homes out, or two, yeah, 2,000 people were affected.
00:25:09.150 --> 00:25:13.310
I don't know if that's homes or whatever, but since 2,000 people, we stayed.
00:25:13.550 --> 00:25:17.470
I cranked up the whole house generator and we we made it through it.
00:25:17.710 --> 00:25:27.550
Oh, but in the whole house generator, there there is no air conditioner still, it just takes too much, but we had everything else.
00:25:27.870 --> 00:25:29.950
Civil unrest, you know.
00:25:30.270 --> 00:25:33.310
So sometimes I'm I'm kind of out in the country.
00:25:33.550 --> 00:25:39.390
You may, and I'm still bugging out, but you may be out in the country, and civil unrest downtown doesn't really bother you.
00:25:39.550 --> 00:25:46.430
They're not gonna come out, you know, the farmland or the suburbs and and do that.
00:25:46.910 --> 00:25:58.350
I do know in Chicago when they were rioting in Chicago, I was out in because Elburn, which is Aurora, which is way outside Chicago, you know, 30 miles.
00:25:58.510 --> 00:26:00.910
And oh yeah, they burned down North Aurora.
00:26:00.990 --> 00:26:01.790
You can look that up.
00:26:02.270 --> 00:26:10.270
Yeah, it was and you're like, gosh, this little small, but it wasn't small because there's you know, you got 12 million people right down the road from you.
00:26:10.430 --> 00:26:14.350
That uh you need to get further out than than I was at the time.
00:26:14.670 --> 00:26:25.870
But but is it you know, to say natural disaster, you know, most of that time a natural disaster is limited to a geographical region.
00:26:26.270 --> 00:26:42.830
Help is on the way, not good help, and not help all the time, but most people after the actual disaster and they're safe from the disaster, there's always people don't really die after that.
00:26:43.150 --> 00:26:51.070
If you if you make it through, you you you usually can figure everything out, especially because it's so localized in an area.
00:26:51.470 --> 00:26:56.350
Long term, gosh, you got to get away, way, way far from people.
00:26:56.590 --> 00:26:59.150
So, long-term scenario, you've got to bug out.
00:26:59.630 --> 00:27:03.230
I yeah, you gotta bug out, and you gotta get away from people.
00:27:03.390 --> 00:27:10.110
You got to be in farmland, mountains, wherever that is for you, you got to get there.
00:27:10.270 --> 00:27:11.470
And you gotta be ready.
00:27:11.630 --> 00:27:16.350
You gotta have the skills, and you got to have the supplies, you got to have the mindset.
00:27:16.750 --> 00:27:18.350
It's all together.
00:27:18.590 --> 00:27:22.590
A good, you know, a good book, I'll just tell you, is called the preparedness roadmap.
00:27:22.670 --> 00:27:30.270
It is a book that I wrote for preppers and what to buy, what to learn, your mindset, how to start thinking the right way.
00:27:30.510 --> 00:27:33.150
It's called again, it's called the preparedness roadmap.
00:27:33.230 --> 00:27:34.510
You can get on Amazon.
00:27:34.830 --> 00:27:35.470
It's a great book.
00:27:35.550 --> 00:27:37.870
I'm telling you, it's one of the best books I've seen out there.
00:27:38.030 --> 00:27:39.310
And I'm not just saying that.
00:27:39.470 --> 00:27:42.590
I am just saying that, but I am not just saying that.
00:27:42.910 --> 00:27:45.710
So the real answer is both.
00:27:46.430 --> 00:27:53.550
Because sometimes you need to bug in, but other times you do absolutely the worst it is, you need to go.
00:27:53.710 --> 00:27:54.590
You just need to go.
00:27:54.750 --> 00:27:57.230
I'm just saying, I'm a bug out kind of guy.
00:27:57.470 --> 00:28:05.790
You've got time, you've got ways to plan, you can go get storage units for a hundred bucks a month where you can start putting your stuff.
00:28:05.950 --> 00:28:12.110
You can find Aunt Jenny, you know, Tom, whoever you have to get out of the city.
00:28:12.190 --> 00:28:18.990
Just know if you don't get out of the city, I think you're just you're doing it, you're doing a wrong service to your family.
00:28:19.150 --> 00:28:20.430
I'm just, you got to protect them.
00:28:20.510 --> 00:28:21.710
That's your number one goal.
00:28:21.870 --> 00:28:22.670
Women, too.
00:28:22.750 --> 00:28:24.110
You got to protect your family.
00:28:24.270 --> 00:28:31.470
And being in the city, being around people when all the poop breaks, you don't want to be there at all.
00:28:32.350 --> 00:28:39.070
So, but I think you got to plan on both staying in for three months or so, gotta have enough supplies, and then having a place to go.
00:28:39.150 --> 00:28:40.910
I'm a big bug out guy.
00:28:40.990 --> 00:28:46.750
So I will say this: I I didn't plan on doing this, but I have a website you guys can go to.
00:28:46.990 --> 00:28:52.910
And you you may not want to go there, but it's called preppersconsulting.com.
00:28:53.150 --> 00:28:54.990
You'll see my big ugly mug there.
00:28:55.070 --> 00:29:00.190
It's called preppers with a sconsulting.com.
00:29:00.670 --> 00:29:06.430
And you can go in there, you can contact me if you have questions, you can schedule calls with me.
00:29:06.670 --> 00:29:16.190
I literally every month I I I usually limit my calls to no more than 15 a month because that's like 15 hours of time.
00:29:16.910 --> 00:29:30.830
And you usually, yeah, matter of fact, this month I had so many we had the we started scheduling some for next month, and then and then Cody started calling people saying, hey, forest, he he's gonna make time for you.
00:29:30.990 --> 00:29:39.470
So I am going to do more than 15 this month, but it's called again preppers with an S, preppersconsulting.com.
00:29:39.630 --> 00:29:41.230
You can go and check that out.
00:29:41.390 --> 00:29:57.070
And what you know, what I do is try to help people with their scenario, their location, look at their the maps, help them determine if Stan is even an option, and then maybe even helping them find a place where they can go.
00:29:57.710 --> 00:30:03.070
So if you're interested in that, go to the website, send me a shoot me a message, book a call.
00:30:03.230 --> 00:30:04.670
Yeah, I don't do it for free.
00:30:04.830 --> 00:30:05.150
Sorry.
00:30:05.310 --> 00:30:09.390
I mean, I will answer some of the question, basic questions, because I am here to help people.
00:30:09.550 --> 00:30:10.910
That's kind of what I do.
00:30:11.310 --> 00:30:15.710
But but yeah, shoot me an email, and I'd love to help you guys.
00:30:15.790 --> 00:30:25.070
I mean, I've literally helped hundreds of families determine we'll do an assessment, we'll do where's it, what areas would be best for you.
00:30:25.150 --> 00:30:30.990
We'll look what's around you, supplies around you, where you would go, what it looks like there.
00:30:31.310 --> 00:30:34.910
I would ask, you know, questions about your skill level, all that.
00:30:35.150 --> 00:30:39.070
So anyway, guys, I just wanted everyone to kind of think about this.
00:30:39.230 --> 00:30:41.710
Is something that should be on your mind all the time.
00:30:41.870 --> 00:30:45.710
I'm I'm it's it's important enough to always be on your time.
00:30:45.950 --> 00:30:51.070
And as I tell I told, I tell my brother, so if I tell my brother, I tell you, he's like, force it out.
00:30:51.150 --> 00:30:51.710
What's planning?
00:30:51.950 --> 00:30:58.670
I'm like, listen, if you don't plan to do something, you're literally just telling your family you don't care.
00:30:58.990 --> 00:31:00.590
He's like, Far, stop saying that.
00:31:00.750 --> 00:31:01.230
I do care.
00:31:01.310 --> 00:31:03.870
And I'm like, well, you need to plan something then.
00:31:04.030 --> 00:31:09.870
Hey, okay, okay, and that's kind of how our conversations go, but he's already got some plans now, and he's been working on it.
00:31:10.030 --> 00:31:10.670
That's my own brother.
00:31:10.750 --> 00:31:12.430
So don't you don't think I would tell you that?
00:31:12.750 --> 00:31:14.910
I'm pretty so anyway, guys.
00:31:15.070 --> 00:31:17.550
Thank you for listening to the Prepping Academy.
00:31:17.710 --> 00:31:20.430
And we hope to bring, I mean, we're bringing you good content.
00:31:20.510 --> 00:31:23.150
We think we this is to make you think.
00:31:23.390 --> 00:31:28.830
This wasn't a sales pitch, didn't mean to do a sales pitch, but they make you think and start planning.
00:31:28.990 --> 00:31:30.190
Because what's the saying?
00:31:30.350 --> 00:31:36.750
If you if you don't plan, if you if you don't plan to succeed, you plan to fail.
00:31:37.070 --> 00:31:38.990
No plan is fail.
00:31:39.150 --> 00:31:41.070
It's not gonna turn out good.
00:31:41.390 --> 00:31:46.830
So, anyway, guys, thank you for joining me on the prepping academy, and we will see you guys next.
00:31:46.990 --> 00:31:49.150
Oh, we got some good announcements coming up.
00:31:49.390 --> 00:31:57.470
Oh, big ones, maybe about a movie and a book that by Wim Fortune One Second Ether and some things, how we're involved in it.
00:31:57.630 --> 00:31:59.630
Hey, we'll get that next podcast.
00:31:59.790 --> 00:32:01.150
We'll share more about it.
00:32:01.390 --> 00:32:03.630
So there's some great things going on, and we're excited.
00:32:03.710 --> 00:32:06.830
So, guys, God bless, and you guys take care.
00:32:07.070 --> 00:32:10.190
See you on the Prepping Academy next week.
00:32:10.510 --> 00:32:11.550
Goodbye.
00:32:12.270 --> 00:32:16.270
Thanks for listening to the Prepping Academy Podcast.
00:32:16.510 --> 00:32:22.590
Preppers United at www.preppingacademy.com.
00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:57.780
Survive, thrive, stay alive.
00:00:58.100 --> 00:01:04.180
It's time to get repair with the Prepping Academy podcast.
00:01:10.180 --> 00:01:13.060
Hey, welcome everyone to the Prepping Academy.
00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:14.180
I am forced.
00:01:14.980 --> 00:01:18.099
Oh, this is going to be a tough subject.
00:01:18.340 --> 00:01:21.460
People have opinions like crazy.
00:01:21.620 --> 00:01:24.020
This is bug in or bug out.
00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:28.980
What actually makes sense for you and your family?
00:01:29.939 --> 00:01:35.219
And you know, we've watched movies, we've read books, and everyone has their opinions.
00:01:36.020 --> 00:01:46.020
And we're gonna discuss it today, and hopefully, maybe we can help you decide what is maybe best for you and your family.
00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:56.819
I'll give you my opinions on several things, but hey, just want to let you guys know that we are grooving, we're just moving and grooving.
00:01:57.140 --> 00:02:02.500
We got, you know, Patrick's been putting out podcasts, I've been putting out podcasts, we've been pretty steady.
00:02:02.820 --> 00:02:04.820
Prepper Net is growing.
00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:13.379
We have more city meetings than any other organization in the world when it comes to the preparedness.
00:02:13.780 --> 00:02:17.219
We have been just absolutely tearing it up.
00:02:17.540 --> 00:02:22.180
We're we got a lot of things, I mean, we're working on as well.
00:02:22.420 --> 00:02:29.860
We've done redone the prepernet site, we've redone what else have we done?
00:02:30.019 --> 00:02:32.659
We've done, we've done a lot of work.
00:02:38.980 --> 00:02:44.980
We've done the prepping academy site, we've redone the prepper shows USA.
00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:49.139
I've done my personal page, forescarvin.com.
00:02:50.100 --> 00:02:58.340
We've I've redone all the websites and got some pretty, I mean, I'm I'm posting blogs on a lot of these.
00:02:58.579 --> 00:03:01.379
So go check them out and just go to prepernet.com.
00:03:01.460 --> 00:03:04.420
You'll see all the links there, all the partners that we have.
00:03:04.660 --> 00:03:07.379
And hopefully, yeah, you can get.
00:03:07.459 --> 00:03:11.620
I mean, I'm I'm I'm posting some great links with some some AI photos.
00:03:11.699 --> 00:03:12.339
It's okay.
00:03:12.500 --> 00:03:17.459
AI is not all totally evil, but yeah, go check that out.
00:03:18.339 --> 00:03:24.819
Everybody's like, we we don't use Facebook a lot because literally Facebook turned on us, and it's hard to forgive them.
00:03:24.980 --> 00:03:26.579
So we have our own social media site.
00:03:26.660 --> 00:03:33.780
If you go to prepper net.com, you will see and and and read about that and and see we're talking about.
00:03:33.860 --> 00:03:35.379
Oh, and I got some I do.
00:03:35.459 --> 00:03:39.780
I have a uh one post I posted about America's birthday.
00:03:39.939 --> 00:03:44.500
So anyway, preppernet.com, and you'll see the blogs there.
00:03:44.740 --> 00:03:51.939
You'll see I got a free ebook you can go and get on PACE, on you know, planning your your PACE.
00:03:52.500 --> 00:04:09.139
If you guys don't know what PACE is, you know, PACE is an acronym for primary, alternative, contingency, and emergency, and you can comply that to communications with meetup with with your family, with just about everything.
00:04:09.300 --> 00:04:15.379
You can go put your email address, your and your first name, and you can download the book.
00:04:15.459 --> 00:04:22.740
And not only is there a book, I put together a workbook to go with it as well to help you in your planning.
00:04:22.980 --> 00:04:24.339
And that's all you need.
00:04:24.420 --> 00:04:27.860
I mean, that literally gets you started, and it's it's absolutely free.
00:04:28.100 --> 00:04:31.939
And you can go to prepernet.com and download that.
00:04:32.180 --> 00:04:35.620
So today's topic is a tough one.
00:04:35.780 --> 00:04:42.420
I have met and consulted with almost a hundred, well, over a hundred groups really.
00:04:42.899 --> 00:04:49.699
And most of the groups are bugging out, and it's always like, do we need to bug out?
00:04:49.780 --> 00:04:50.819
Do we not need to bug out?
00:04:50.899 --> 00:04:52.740
Do we need to have bug out property?
00:04:53.060 --> 00:05:04.259
So I would consider myself one of humbly, I consider myself one of three experts in the field in the United States.
00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:06.100
And I'll I'll name the other two.
00:05:06.180 --> 00:05:10.259
One of them is Jonathan Hollerman, and one of them is Charlie Hogwood.
00:05:10.420 --> 00:05:18.659
Jonathan Hollerman does wrote a book called Survival Theory, and it's one of the best preparedness books I've ever read.
00:05:18.899 --> 00:05:21.379
And Jonathan is a good friend of mine.
00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:29.379
I'm actually on one of his sites as a like a I don't know, expert counsel or something or whatever.
00:05:29.539 --> 00:05:30.659
He's on mine as well.
00:05:30.819 --> 00:05:32.579
And then Charlie Hogwood as well.
00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:56.579
He wrote the book called Survival Groups, and he's been a friend, he's helped me teach classes, and yeah, and so I I would say between the three of us, they're they're yeah, we've consulted for probably over 500 groups, and I don't know anyone that consults as as much as we do, actually.
00:05:56.740 --> 00:05:59.539
I'm not I'm not tuning my horn, I'm tuning theirs.
00:05:59.779 --> 00:06:02.500
They've been doing it longer than I have.
00:06:02.579 --> 00:06:06.500
I've been doing it for 10 years, and both of them have been in the business longer than me.
00:06:06.740 --> 00:06:10.099
But we've worked on projects together, groups together.
00:06:10.339 --> 00:06:15.060
So, anyway, this is a subject everyone we we it always comes up.
00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:17.860
But do I bug in or do I bug out?
00:06:17.939 --> 00:06:20.180
So everyone loves the idea of bugging out.
00:06:20.339 --> 00:06:28.019
I mean, they've seen movies, they've read books, and yeah, it's just so glorious and glamorous to bug out.
00:06:28.259 --> 00:06:33.459
Grabbing your bag, heading into the woods, starting fresh in a safer place.
00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:35.139
This is gonna be great.
00:06:35.300 --> 00:06:36.899
I'm in charge now.
00:06:37.459 --> 00:06:47.219
And you know, but the reality is that most people will fail absolutely on their face in a short amount of time.
00:06:47.620 --> 00:06:49.779
And I do we have facts on this?
00:06:50.099 --> 00:06:51.620
Yes, we do.
00:06:51.860 --> 00:06:57.699
I've interviewed many people, people that let's say for Selko that was in Bosnia.
00:06:57.860 --> 00:06:59.699
Oh, yeah, he had his bug out bag.
00:06:59.860 --> 00:07:01.939
He says the I mean, terrible.
00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:07.060
Just you go, you can go and listen to the the interviews that I've done with him.
00:07:07.219 --> 00:07:15.539
I've interviewed people from Argentina when they were running from the government, Venezuela when they were hiding from the government.
00:07:15.779 --> 00:07:22.180
And uh these have been on past podcasts, and they're like, Yeah, yeah, I should have stayed home or I should have got out.
00:07:22.420 --> 00:07:26.659
Everyone, it for every person is a different, different decision.
00:07:26.819 --> 00:07:34.500
Today we're going to break down the bugging in and bugging out theory because yeah, you haven't done it yet.
00:07:35.219 --> 00:07:42.339
And what actually makes sense for you today, and why most people are getting this completely wrong.
00:07:42.500 --> 00:07:43.779
A lot of people, they just do.
00:07:43.939 --> 00:07:48.579
They just, you know, you got the man in the house that's all tactical.
00:07:48.740 --> 00:07:50.339
He's like, let's get out of here.
00:07:50.500 --> 00:07:53.379
It's not safe, which that's true for a lot of people.
00:07:53.539 --> 00:07:55.459
For me, it's true where I live.
00:07:55.620 --> 00:08:00.979
I've got 5,000 people that live within a mile and a half of my house.
00:08:01.219 --> 00:08:02.339
That's a lot of people.
00:08:02.500 --> 00:08:04.019
I'm not gonna stay and fight them.
00:08:04.899 --> 00:08:08.740
So, but hey, again, thanks for joining the prepping academy.
00:08:08.819 --> 00:08:15.860
We're gonna get right into this, but uh just to let you know, I do have over 20 years experience in the prepping and consulting.
00:08:16.099 --> 00:08:19.060
Well, consulting is about 13 years.
00:08:19.539 --> 00:08:28.339
So, but it's been it's been a minute, and so I'm not saying I'm an expert, I'm saying I'm one possibly an expert, maybe.
00:08:28.579 --> 00:08:31.060
If you don't like what I say, then that's fine.
00:08:31.219 --> 00:08:32.500
It's totally fine.
00:08:32.740 --> 00:08:34.100
So most people get it wrong.
00:08:34.259 --> 00:08:35.700
Why do they get it wrong?
00:08:35.940 --> 00:08:50.820
Because they read books, they watch movies, they think they have all the experience and knowledge that they need, and they can just, I mean, if you want to test it, go out for three weeks in the wilderness and see how you can live.
00:08:51.060 --> 00:08:54.820
No, now if you have a retreat, that's different.
00:08:55.060 --> 00:08:58.100
You have a place to go, that's different.
00:08:58.420 --> 00:09:02.580
You think you can go like commandeer a building and take it over?
00:09:02.899 --> 00:09:06.899
You know, that's a lot of ifs, because what if the janitor shows up?
00:09:06.980 --> 00:09:08.100
What if the owner shows up?
00:09:08.180 --> 00:09:10.340
A lot of people have these ideas.
00:09:10.580 --> 00:09:14.019
I'll go to the campground down the street and just kind of take.
00:09:14.180 --> 00:09:16.899
Yeah, other people have that same thought.
00:09:17.139 --> 00:09:21.940
And they might not be in, it might not be in your best interest to be around them.
00:09:22.420 --> 00:09:33.460
But, you know, and also fantasy, oh, how you know, you know, all these different shows and you know, how everyone just survives easily, even alone.
00:09:33.940 --> 00:09:43.140
The guys go out and they spend 60, 70, 80 days, but it is oh, just that's they could not spend any longer.
00:09:43.379 --> 00:09:47.140
I remember Alan Kay, friend, friend of the show, friend of PrepperNet.
00:09:47.379 --> 00:09:53.860
He won the first series, and he was probably made it the easiest than some of the other ones.
00:09:53.940 --> 00:10:06.500
And he was he has many times said how difficult it is, and then you know, parts of it were easy for him because he was very, very experienced.
00:10:06.980 --> 00:10:13.300
Yeah, they they um I think Chris Weatherman was in that one too, and he he kind of got knocked out really soon.
00:10:13.540 --> 00:10:16.660
But the reality is most people aren't trained for the wilderness.
00:10:16.820 --> 00:10:18.740
Now, if you go to a house, that's different.
00:10:18.980 --> 00:10:27.940
Like you go to, you know, a mountain house or a house out in you know, farmland, that's different, but it still brings up some of the same issues.
00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:32.020
They don't understand the logistics of getting all their stuff there.
00:10:32.180 --> 00:10:36.740
You better have your stuff wherever you're going before you have to bug out.
00:10:37.140 --> 00:10:45.140
You would hate to have to carry everything you need there on your back, even in your car, because you put it at risk of people stopping you.
00:10:45.460 --> 00:10:57.379
I do, I do make this statement, and I've made this statement for years, that those that know, and we and that's people listening to this podcast right now, we have an advantage.
00:10:57.700 --> 00:11:03.140
People don't know that when things, events happen, that they don't even think bug out.
00:11:03.220 --> 00:11:05.700
They think, huh, this is gonna be kind of interesting.
00:11:05.780 --> 00:11:07.460
Let's see how this plays out.
00:11:07.940 --> 00:11:15.780
But as preppers, we would go, wow, this is gonna turn out bad, which gives us a little bit more time than everyone else.
00:11:15.940 --> 00:11:17.860
I would say 12 to 24 hours.
00:11:17.940 --> 00:11:19.300
I really believe that.
00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:21.940
People just think, well, it's not gonna be that bad.
00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:25.060
This is America, we can get through this.
00:11:25.300 --> 00:11:30.740
Well, I'm gonna miss a few days of work, and they just don't really think it through.
00:11:30.820 --> 00:11:33.140
They've never thought it through like we have.
00:11:33.540 --> 00:11:35.379
This is our advantage.
00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:37.620
We need to take advantage of that.
00:11:37.940 --> 00:11:48.500
Go and get what you need at the stores if you can, you know, get your gas, everything topped up, buy wherever you can, get a U-Haul, and get then get out of Dodge.
00:11:48.660 --> 00:11:51.620
The great thing is, most of the things you buy, you can take back.
00:11:52.340 --> 00:11:53.860
Let's just be real there.
00:11:54.340 --> 00:12:02.580
So, so you know, most people also do not bug out if you don't have a place to go, just don't do it.
00:12:03.060 --> 00:12:06.900
I I you know, I I told this one lady and she's like, Where do we bug out to?
00:12:06.980 --> 00:12:14.259
I'm like, if you ma'am, if you don't have a place to go, you know, your best choice is stay home, defend it, die at home.
00:12:14.740 --> 00:12:19.860
She looked at me all bugged out, you know, bug-eyed, and I'm like, listen, that's the truth.
00:12:20.100 --> 00:12:21.940
So just just stay home.
00:12:22.820 --> 00:12:24.340
And she goes, So I need a place.
00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:25.780
I'm like, you need a place.
00:12:25.940 --> 00:12:26.500
Yeah.
00:12:26.740 --> 00:12:30.580
Bugging out with the without a plan is just disaster.
00:12:30.740 --> 00:12:31.460
It really is.
00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:36.980
You don't want to again listen to my podcast I did on when I interviewed Selko.
00:12:37.140 --> 00:12:40.580
I've interviewed him several times and different parts.
00:12:40.740 --> 00:14:00.910
So listen to them all, and he will tell you the true nature of bugging out and not having a place to go.
00:14:01.790 --> 00:14:04.750
So bugging out is not the people aren't prepared.
00:14:04.830 --> 00:14:19.230
Are you prepared to take your entire family, feed them, protect them from wild animals, people wherever you're going, even if that is, you know, a house, a mountain house, or you know, a farmhouse or something, it's it's it's difficult.
00:14:19.550 --> 00:14:23.149
I'm not saying staying at home is not difficult because it can be.
00:14:23.389 --> 00:14:26.269
But bugging in is a little different.
00:14:26.509 --> 00:14:43.790
You have an advantage because you feel at home, you know the area, you know the supplies, you know you have shelter, you're you're your lower risk to the environment, to animals, your major risk is people.
00:14:44.350 --> 00:14:47.310
Which where your house is, there's probably a lot of people.
00:14:48.830 --> 00:14:56.670
The people there's a there's a good there's a good YouTube video, and I believe this is it, and I hope it's still on the on YouTube.
00:14:56.990 --> 00:15:00.350
It's called 72 hours to anarchy.
00:15:01.389 --> 00:15:04.670
You need to watch that.
00:15:04.910 --> 00:15:16.670
It goes back in history when people absolutely lose their mind, and after 72 hours, they literally start attacking their neighbors for food.
00:15:16.910 --> 00:15:19.310
That's and you're like, well, we're in America.
00:15:19.389 --> 00:15:24.350
That's never that's happened in every society throughout history.
00:15:24.590 --> 00:15:29.790
When people believe there's no more food coming, all heck breaks loose.
00:15:30.670 --> 00:15:31.790
Watch the video.
00:15:31.950 --> 00:15:37.149
I think it's and you know, I will try to find that and link that in the show notes because it's that important.
00:15:37.629 --> 00:15:41.230
And it's called I think it's called 72 hours to anarchy.
00:15:41.470 --> 00:15:46.350
And it's an old, it's been out there for five, six years, but it's a good video.
00:15:46.590 --> 00:15:48.590
It really makes you think a lot.
00:15:48.830 --> 00:15:56.910
So bug it in, but so you you you you don't have to relocate, all your goods are there, you can store your goods at home.
00:15:57.149 --> 00:15:59.870
It is much, it's just much easier.
00:16:00.830 --> 00:16:03.310
You know, if the grid's down, there's no power.
00:16:03.389 --> 00:16:04.190
So, what do you do?
00:16:04.350 --> 00:16:07.710
You could have some backup power because you're at your home.
00:16:08.350 --> 00:16:11.550
Again, the biggest problem staying at home is people.
00:16:11.950 --> 00:16:13.070
Number one issue.
00:16:13.230 --> 00:16:24.350
Now, if you're out in suburbia and there's no, you know, there's only you know a few hundred people around you, hey, that might be a good alternative.
00:16:24.830 --> 00:16:40.830
If you could partner with some other people in your neighborhood or your cul-de-sac or along your street, that could be that might be the best choice for a lot of people where the kids can sleep in their own bedrooms or at least their own house.
00:16:40.990 --> 00:16:46.350
And so, yeah, I I do like that scenario for a lot of people.
00:16:46.590 --> 00:16:53.149
If you don't have a retreat or a place to go, grandma's house or Aunt Jenny's house or something like that.
00:16:53.710 --> 00:16:58.350
If there's not a lot of people, I would always try to stay at home.
00:16:58.590 --> 00:17:08.430
If there's a lot of people, I mean, but you still have to partner up with other groups, you have to build a tribe, and you have to talk to other people and kind of plan this beforehand.
00:17:08.590 --> 00:17:09.390
Don't wait.
00:17:09.630 --> 00:17:15.150
Cell Co would tell you don't wait on any of the planning, no matter what you do, bugging in or bugging out.
00:17:15.390 --> 00:17:18.269
Do it before the event happens.
00:17:18.750 --> 00:17:24.910
But you know, but so yeah, I'm I'm a big fan of bugging in.
00:17:25.550 --> 00:17:26.990
Again, if there's not a lot of people.
00:17:27.150 --> 00:17:35.310
If you're if you got a thousand people within a mile, I'm just saying, if the power doesn't come back on, you you're screwed.
00:17:35.710 --> 00:17:38.830
You can't, you, you're, you, you're just you just are.
00:17:39.150 --> 00:17:42.350
You've got to be you got to be planning to get out.
00:17:42.509 --> 00:17:51.070
What that magic number is, I don't know that, but I know like there's a town, I don't know, an hour and a half from here called Pagelin.
00:17:51.230 --> 00:17:55.310
There's probably 600 people in the town, and it's spread out.
00:17:56.350 --> 00:17:58.509
I would I would stay home there.
00:17:58.750 --> 00:18:06.190
If I live in Raleigh, Kerry, New York, you know, Philadelphia, you've got to get out of Dodge.
00:18:06.269 --> 00:18:08.110
You've got to get away from people.
00:18:08.350 --> 00:18:14.750
You need to be in a place where there is only 15, 30 people per mile.
00:18:14.910 --> 00:18:15.470
That's it.
00:18:15.630 --> 00:18:19.070
I mean, you've got the bet the less people, the better.
00:18:20.030 --> 00:18:25.470
So bugging out though is it's just it's dangerous.
00:18:25.630 --> 00:18:27.470
Just getting to your location.
00:18:27.790 --> 00:18:29.230
Have they got roadblocks?
00:18:29.310 --> 00:18:32.830
Have people already taken over your location?
00:18:33.710 --> 00:18:35.470
Is it really a better position?
00:18:35.630 --> 00:18:37.470
If it's away from people, yes.
00:18:37.630 --> 00:18:39.310
If you can get there, go.
00:18:39.870 --> 00:18:48.750
I teach people a lot of the time most of the time when I actually consult with people, it's about getting them out of their current location.
00:18:49.150 --> 00:18:50.830
That's the number one thing.
00:18:51.070 --> 00:19:04.269
Uh again, from people from California to Canada to throughout the United States, is getting them to a safer area where they have the potential to survive.
00:19:04.509 --> 00:19:16.990
You don't have the potential to survive, you don't have the skills with your family and protecting your family to survive in a community where there's a thousand people less than a mile.
00:19:17.310 --> 00:19:19.630
The herd always wins.
00:19:20.110 --> 00:19:22.430
Zombie World will happen.
00:19:22.590 --> 00:19:25.150
Again, don't want to be the dead horse.
00:19:25.230 --> 00:19:27.230
Go listen to the Cell Co interview.
00:19:27.470 --> 00:19:31.390
And zombie herd zombie herds always win.
00:19:31.870 --> 00:19:36.430
And but if you do have a bug outlocation, it requires planning.
00:19:36.510 --> 00:19:44.510
It reply requires you going there, setting things up, setting supplies up, having backups, having everything you need there.
00:19:44.910 --> 00:19:54.350
Matter of fact, in my group, which we've had my group since Y2K, we've had a retreat since 2001.
00:19:54.830 --> 00:19:58.030
So we've had a retreat for literally 25 years.
00:19:58.350 --> 00:20:02.670
You find another one in the world that's done that, and I'll give you money.
00:20:02.830 --> 00:20:03.710
There hasn't been.
00:20:03.790 --> 00:20:04.430
There's not one.
00:20:04.510 --> 00:20:05.870
They don't survive.
00:20:06.110 --> 00:20:09.070
But we've had a retreat for 25 years.
00:20:09.710 --> 00:20:10.990
We're planned there.
00:20:11.070 --> 00:20:18.350
We got so the idea for the families is every family has enough to stay at your house for three months.
00:20:18.590 --> 00:20:19.630
That's it.
00:20:20.910 --> 00:20:27.710
We want you to risk your life to get to the retreat because we need you there.
00:20:28.030 --> 00:20:30.510
So you don't have a lot of stuff at your home.
00:20:30.750 --> 00:20:36.430
Matter of fact, 95% of your supplies are at the bug out location.
00:20:37.070 --> 00:20:40.270
Because we want you to risk your life to get there.
00:20:40.510 --> 00:20:45.630
Because we know if you stay there, you're probably not going to make it.
00:20:46.270 --> 00:20:49.390
And so, and we need you at the retreat.
00:20:49.870 --> 00:20:54.990
But it takes planning, you gotta have a destination, logistics.
00:20:56.270 --> 00:20:57.710
I got some good examples.
00:20:57.790 --> 00:21:02.030
Let me throw one at you for 20 seconds, let you just ponder on this.
00:21:02.270 --> 00:21:05.150
Well, I don't have a retreat, I don't have a place to go.
00:21:05.390 --> 00:21:19.150
Well, find an Airbnb out in the middle of nowhere, rent a shed, you know, like a storage unit, and put all your stuff in there, and then go and take care of that property when the grid goes down and people are killing each other in the city.
00:21:19.310 --> 00:21:21.550
You go take care of it for the owner.
00:21:22.110 --> 00:21:23.390
Just the thought.
00:21:23.630 --> 00:21:26.110
I don't want to get any more information of that.
00:21:26.350 --> 00:21:29.790
So one of the biggest mistakes is not having a destination for sure.
00:21:30.110 --> 00:21:31.070
No route planning.
00:21:31.150 --> 00:21:31.950
You gotta have a route.
00:21:32.030 --> 00:21:34.110
You just don't want to hit on the interstate and go.
00:21:34.190 --> 00:21:35.550
And it needs to be close.
00:21:35.790 --> 00:21:43.470
When I say close, I'm saying three to four hours because, again, I believe we have a head start.
00:21:43.710 --> 00:21:45.310
I believe we have a head start.
00:21:45.550 --> 00:21:47.390
We will see always bug out.
00:21:47.470 --> 00:21:52.270
I mean, always my my group, we bug out, something small happens.
00:21:52.510 --> 00:21:58.030
And then we get there, we have a good party, hang out, then we all leave if nothing, if it's no big deal.
00:21:58.270 --> 00:22:01.230
That's the type mindset you need to be in.
00:22:01.470 --> 00:22:03.230
Always, always leaving.
00:22:03.630 --> 00:22:05.950
Just in if you have a place to go.
00:22:06.510 --> 00:22:09.630
Don't decide at the moment, well, let's go to grandma's house real quick.
00:22:09.710 --> 00:22:11.630
Yeah, you should have already planned that.
00:22:11.790 --> 00:22:13.310
That's that's bad on you.
00:22:13.470 --> 00:22:14.910
That's shame on you.
00:22:15.150 --> 00:22:19.150
You you should love your family a little bit more to think about it than in the last second.
00:22:19.230 --> 00:22:24.110
Let's go to Ant's house and and not have it all set up and all planned.
00:22:24.270 --> 00:22:26.590
That's just that's just wrong.
00:22:27.150 --> 00:22:29.230
You will pay for that decision.
00:22:29.550 --> 00:22:39.310
Is so some of the questions this, you know, when you're as you're pondering what to do and where to go, is is your safe, is your you know, current location safe?
00:22:39.630 --> 00:22:41.310
Have it short-term, long-term?
00:22:41.470 --> 00:22:45.790
I mean, long term, did people from the city finally get to your location?
00:22:46.030 --> 00:22:48.510
Do I have enough resources here to stay?
00:22:48.750 --> 00:22:57.150
I mean, if you you say, yeah, I got enough food for a year, but do you really, if people come and break into your house because you can't stop them?
00:22:57.950 --> 00:23:00.750
Do I have a safe destination to go to?
00:23:00.990 --> 00:23:03.390
Grandma's house, Aunt Jen's house?
00:23:03.710 --> 00:23:05.870
Okay, it is three hours away.
00:23:06.190 --> 00:23:07.230
Can we get there?
00:23:07.390 --> 00:23:14.670
Well, would they let me go and maybe build a barn, put a little structure on there to put some of our our you know, food?
00:23:14.910 --> 00:23:15.870
Can I talk to them?
00:23:16.030 --> 00:23:17.790
Will they think we're crazy?
00:23:18.110 --> 00:23:34.910
Should I just go down to the you know a little town down the street from their house and start packing all the food and supplies there instead of storing it at grandma's house where she thinks you guys are crazy, you know, and then just show up and say, hey, we got all the supplies, we just have to go get it.
00:23:35.230 --> 00:23:36.590
Can you get there safely?
00:23:36.750 --> 00:23:42.510
I mean, yeah, don't don't be going through the city or the hood to get to your place.
00:23:42.750 --> 00:23:50.270
So the question is the bit the I mean, the number one question am I better off staying or am I better off going?
00:23:51.150 --> 00:23:56.190
Bugging in, better off bugging in or hitting the road, bugging out.
00:23:56.350 --> 00:23:59.950
These are the questions and things you need to determine now.
00:24:00.830 --> 00:24:05.630
Like literally last week, but now then you need to start planning this.
00:24:05.870 --> 00:24:06.350
I will tell you.
00:24:06.830 --> 00:24:07.870
I am writing a book on this.
00:24:07.950 --> 00:24:28.510
It's not gonna be to it's it's been it's it's called the complete guide for survival groups, and it is it's taken me a long time because in the middle of writing this book, I started writing another one on privacy and AI and you know facial identity, all this kind of stuff, facial rec, you know, recognition, all this kind of.
00:24:28.910 --> 00:24:30.190
I'm like, I gotta get this out.
00:24:30.270 --> 00:24:33.950
This is you know, so I'm but I I am coming out with a book.
00:24:34.030 --> 00:24:36.830
It's I it we're months and months away.
00:24:36.910 --> 00:24:38.510
So don't don't be waiting for it yet.
00:24:38.670 --> 00:24:40.430
You need to start planning now.
00:24:41.390 --> 00:24:43.870
So, but real real world scenario.
00:24:43.950 --> 00:24:45.710
I mean, let's say if the power goes out.
00:24:45.870 --> 00:24:48.590
Our power went out the other night for 12 hours.
00:24:48.830 --> 00:24:49.790
Makes me so mad.
00:24:49.950 --> 00:24:52.670
That's the only time I want to cuss is when power goes out.
00:24:52.830 --> 00:24:54.670
I'm like, why is my dang power out?
00:24:54.990 --> 00:24:57.470
I would say if your power goes out, you just stay there.
00:24:57.550 --> 00:25:01.790
I mean, because you can see on the map these days, you still got internet, you know, with your phone.
00:25:01.950 --> 00:25:04.110
Well, it's just you know, 400 homes.
00:25:04.190 --> 00:25:09.070
We were we had 2,000 homes out, or two, yeah, 2,000 people were affected.
00:25:09.150 --> 00:25:13.310
I don't know if that's homes or whatever, but since 2,000 people, we stayed.
00:25:13.550 --> 00:25:17.470
I cranked up the whole house generator and we we made it through it.
00:25:17.710 --> 00:25:27.550
Oh, but in the whole house generator, there there is no air conditioner still, it just takes too much, but we had everything else.
00:25:27.870 --> 00:25:29.950
Civil unrest, you know.
00:25:30.270 --> 00:25:33.310
So sometimes I'm I'm kind of out in the country.
00:25:33.550 --> 00:25:39.390
You may, and I'm still bugging out, but you may be out in the country, and civil unrest downtown doesn't really bother you.
00:25:39.550 --> 00:25:46.430
They're not gonna come out, you know, the farmland or the suburbs and and do that.
00:25:46.910 --> 00:25:58.350
I do know in Chicago when they were rioting in Chicago, I was out in because Elburn, which is Aurora, which is way outside Chicago, you know, 30 miles.
00:25:58.510 --> 00:26:00.910
And oh yeah, they burned down North Aurora.
00:26:00.990 --> 00:26:01.790
You can look that up.
00:26:02.270 --> 00:26:10.270
Yeah, it was and you're like, gosh, this little small, but it wasn't small because there's you know, you got 12 million people right down the road from you.
00:26:10.430 --> 00:26:14.350
That uh you need to get further out than than I was at the time.
00:26:14.670 --> 00:26:25.870
But but is it you know, to say natural disaster, you know, most of that time a natural disaster is limited to a geographical region.
00:26:26.270 --> 00:26:42.830
Help is on the way, not good help, and not help all the time, but most people after the actual disaster and they're safe from the disaster, there's always people don't really die after that.
00:26:43.150 --> 00:26:51.070
If you if you make it through, you you you usually can figure everything out, especially because it's so localized in an area.
00:26:51.470 --> 00:26:56.350
Long term, gosh, you got to get away, way, way far from people.
00:26:56.590 --> 00:26:59.150
So, long-term scenario, you've got to bug out.
00:26:59.630 --> 00:27:03.230
I yeah, you gotta bug out, and you gotta get away from people.
00:27:03.390 --> 00:27:10.110
You got to be in farmland, mountains, wherever that is for you, you got to get there.
00:27:10.270 --> 00:27:11.470
And you gotta be ready.
00:27:11.630 --> 00:27:16.350
You gotta have the skills, and you got to have the supplies, you got to have the mindset.
00:27:16.750 --> 00:27:18.350
It's all together.
00:27:18.590 --> 00:27:22.590
A good, you know, a good book, I'll just tell you, is called the preparedness roadmap.
00:27:22.670 --> 00:27:30.270
It is a book that I wrote for preppers and what to buy, what to learn, your mindset, how to start thinking the right way.
00:27:30.510 --> 00:27:33.150
It's called again, it's called the preparedness roadmap.
00:27:33.230 --> 00:27:34.510
You can get on Amazon.
00:27:34.830 --> 00:27:35.470
It's a great book.
00:27:35.550 --> 00:27:37.870
I'm telling you, it's one of the best books I've seen out there.
00:27:38.030 --> 00:27:39.310
And I'm not just saying that.
00:27:39.470 --> 00:27:42.590
I am just saying that, but I am not just saying that.
00:27:42.910 --> 00:27:45.710
So the real answer is both.
00:27:46.430 --> 00:27:53.550
Because sometimes you need to bug in, but other times you do absolutely the worst it is, you need to go.
00:27:53.710 --> 00:27:54.590
You just need to go.
00:27:54.750 --> 00:27:57.230
I'm just saying, I'm a bug out kind of guy.
00:27:57.470 --> 00:28:05.790
You've got time, you've got ways to plan, you can go get storage units for a hundred bucks a month where you can start putting your stuff.
00:28:05.950 --> 00:28:12.110
You can find Aunt Jenny, you know, Tom, whoever you have to get out of the city.
00:28:12.190 --> 00:28:18.990
Just know if you don't get out of the city, I think you're just you're doing it, you're doing a wrong service to your family.
00:28:19.150 --> 00:28:20.430
I'm just, you got to protect them.
00:28:20.510 --> 00:28:21.710
That's your number one goal.
00:28:21.870 --> 00:28:22.670
Women, too.
00:28:22.750 --> 00:28:24.110
You got to protect your family.
00:28:24.270 --> 00:28:31.470
And being in the city, being around people when all the poop breaks, you don't want to be there at all.
00:28:32.350 --> 00:28:39.070
So, but I think you got to plan on both staying in for three months or so, gotta have enough supplies, and then having a place to go.
00:28:39.150 --> 00:28:40.910
I'm a big bug out guy.
00:28:40.990 --> 00:28:46.750
So I will say this: I I didn't plan on doing this, but I have a website you guys can go to.
00:28:46.990 --> 00:28:52.910
And you you may not want to go there, but it's called preppersconsulting.com.
00:28:53.150 --> 00:28:54.990
You'll see my big ugly mug there.
00:28:55.070 --> 00:29:00.190
It's called preppers with a sconsulting.com.
00:29:00.670 --> 00:29:06.430
And you can go in there, you can contact me if you have questions, you can schedule calls with me.
00:29:06.670 --> 00:29:16.190
I literally every month I I I usually limit my calls to no more than 15 a month because that's like 15 hours of time.
00:29:16.910 --> 00:29:30.830
And you usually, yeah, matter of fact, this month I had so many we had the we started scheduling some for next month, and then and then Cody started calling people saying, hey, forest, he he's gonna make time for you.
00:29:30.990 --> 00:29:39.470
So I am going to do more than 15 this month, but it's called again preppers with an S, preppersconsulting.com.
00:29:39.630 --> 00:29:41.230
You can go and check that out.
00:29:41.390 --> 00:29:57.070
And what you know, what I do is try to help people with their scenario, their location, look at their the maps, help them determine if Stan is even an option, and then maybe even helping them find a place where they can go.
00:29:57.710 --> 00:30:03.070
So if you're interested in that, go to the website, send me a shoot me a message, book a call.
00:30:03.230 --> 00:30:04.670
Yeah, I don't do it for free.
00:30:04.830 --> 00:30:05.150
Sorry.
00:30:05.310 --> 00:30:09.390
I mean, I will answer some of the question, basic questions, because I am here to help people.
00:30:09.550 --> 00:30:10.910
That's kind of what I do.
00:30:11.310 --> 00:30:15.710
But but yeah, shoot me an email, and I'd love to help you guys.
00:30:15.790 --> 00:30:25.070
I mean, I've literally helped hundreds of families determine we'll do an assessment, we'll do where's it, what areas would be best for you.
00:30:25.150 --> 00:30:30.990
We'll look what's around you, supplies around you, where you would go, what it looks like there.
00:30:31.310 --> 00:30:34.910
I would ask, you know, questions about your skill level, all that.
00:30:35.150 --> 00:30:39.070
So anyway, guys, I just wanted everyone to kind of think about this.
00:30:39.230 --> 00:30:41.710
Is something that should be on your mind all the time.
00:30:41.870 --> 00:30:45.710
I'm I'm it's it's important enough to always be on your time.
00:30:45.950 --> 00:30:51.070
And as I tell I told, I tell my brother, so if I tell my brother, I tell you, he's like, force it out.
00:30:51.150 --> 00:30:51.710
What's planning?
00:30:51.950 --> 00:30:58.670
I'm like, listen, if you don't plan to do something, you're literally just telling your family you don't care.
00:30:58.990 --> 00:31:00.590
He's like, Far, stop saying that.
00:31:00.750 --> 00:31:01.230
I do care.
00:31:01.310 --> 00:31:03.870
And I'm like, well, you need to plan something then.
00:31:04.030 --> 00:31:09.870
Hey, okay, okay, and that's kind of how our conversations go, but he's already got some plans now, and he's been working on it.
00:31:10.030 --> 00:31:10.670
That's my own brother.
00:31:10.750 --> 00:31:12.430
So don't you don't think I would tell you that?
00:31:12.750 --> 00:31:14.910
I'm pretty so anyway, guys.
00:31:15.070 --> 00:31:17.550
Thank you for listening to the Prepping Academy.
00:31:17.710 --> 00:31:20.430
And we hope to bring, I mean, we're bringing you good content.
00:31:20.510 --> 00:31:23.150
We think we this is to make you think.
00:31:23.390 --> 00:31:28.830
This wasn't a sales pitch, didn't mean to do a sales pitch, but they make you think and start planning.
00:31:28.990 --> 00:31:30.190
Because what's the saying?
00:31:30.350 --> 00:31:36.750
If you if you don't plan, if you if you don't plan to succeed, you plan to fail.
00:31:37.070 --> 00:31:38.990
No plan is fail.
00:31:39.150 --> 00:31:41.070
It's not gonna turn out good.
00:31:41.390 --> 00:31:46.830
So, anyway, guys, thank you for joining me on the prepping academy, and we will see you guys next.
00:31:46.990 --> 00:31:49.150
