203 Survivalist In Paradise - Tsunamis, Hurricanes, Storm Surge, and Flooding

Tonight, we’re talking about Coastal living. For many, it’s the dream—warm breezes, ocean views, sand between your toes. But for those of us who walk the path of preparedness, we know better. That dream can turn into a nightmare in a matter of minutes. Because behind every beachfront paradise, there’s a ticking time bomb. Tsunamis, hurricanes, storm surges, liquefaction, floods, saltwater intrusion… this is Mother Nature, untamed. 

One moment you’re enjoying the sunrise, the next, you’re running for your life with nothing but the clothes you’re wearing. It’s not a matter of If… It’s a matter of When.

You want to live by the sea? Fine. Great. What a way to live. But know this. The ocean never negotiates. It doesn’t care about your insurance policy, your beachfront view, or your naïve sense of permanence. It’s an ever-changing volatile environment, and when it decides to move, it destroys.

And it’s not just tsunamis born from distant quakes. Coastal dwellers live under the constant threat of rising seas, crumbling cliffs, superstorms, and regional disasters tailor-made to rip your life wide open, in as little as a heartbeat.

So, ask yourself: Are you really prepared? Or are you just “Playing Survivalist in Paradise?

Let’s talk about that…

02:32.77
Keith
So ask yourself, are you really prepared or are you just playing survival or are you just or are you just playing survivalists in paradise so ask yourself So ask yourself, are you really prepared or are you just playing survivalist in paradise?

02:53.16
Keith
Let's talk about that.

00:00:00.10
Keith
Um, so what, what have you been doing past couple hear you've been out in the wilderness or no.

00:00:05.47
Jeremy
Um, well, just for but that one night I had, um, uh, seer contract and, um, was pretty, I mean, it's, it's mildly boring for me. I'm not involved with the students, but, uh, this time they, meet they moved me and another dude out to, uh, it's like another, i guess, small mock village.

00:00:31.31
Jeremy
Um, And the only purpose that we had was to see whether or not we could see them and then alert the cadre.

00:00:40.86
Jeremy
so

00:00:40.98
Keith
What does Seer stand for?

00:00:44.16
Jeremy
Survival, escape, resistance, and evasion.

00:00:49.75
Keith
Survival...

00:00:52.68
Keith
ah Escape? What did you Survival, escape, resistance, and evasion.

00:00:57.58
Jeremy
Evasion. Let me make sure I don't have those letters backward.

00:01:00.04
Keith
Survival. So, survival, evasion, resistance, and escape.

00:01:07.22
Jeremy
Yeah, survival, I'm sorry, survival, evasion, resistance, and escape.

00:01:12.60
Keith
Okay. Because um I've always heard that just from different people that I knew a guy wasn't went through C or whatever. I heard that was pretty tough stuff.

00:01:22.63
Jeremy
Yeah, and well, it depends on which level of seer you go to. They have different levels. um

00:01:27.22
Keith
Oh.

00:01:28.06
Jeremy
Yeah. Then of course you have some that are, you know, you have like what we call CER, I think it's 101 or one or whatever it is. It's like a basic thing that you do online, just answering questions.

00:01:40.84
Jeremy
There's um for the, for, I can't get into all of it, but they do what's called a peacetime and a wartime scenario.

00:01:51.84
Keith
Mm-hmm.

00:01:52.92
Jeremy
Where in you are in a not completely denied environment, but you get rolled up by the local, I guess, police.

00:02:04.02
Jeremy
And it's been a long time since I've gone. But in this particular one that i do a contract for, you they get rolled up by essentially what is their police.

00:02:14.88
Jeremy
And um they ah they go through the process of trying to evade. Eventually, they have to get captured, you know, to complete the training. Um, and then they have a wartime one where it gets a little bit more intense.

00:02:31.26
Jeremy
So, and then you have like a seer high risk and then there's some that, you know, i can't talk about here, but, um, it's the higher, the higher stakes ones that you go to, the more intense the, uh, quote unquote punishment can get.

00:02:50.77
Keith
No shit.

00:02:52.74
Jeremy
Like I remember, Yeah, I remember when Missy went to see her high risk when we're from one of the units that she worked with. And I knew when she went, I was like, man, she's going to get the absolute crap beat out of her.

00:03:05.93
Jeremy
And I wasn't wrong.

00:03:09.51
Jeremy
I wasn't wrong because she's got a mouth on her. and And she when everybody else is in misery is when the real Missy comes out and she man.

00:03:20.88
Jeremy
I can't even imagine how angry she made those instructors, but I do know we ran into one of them. And she grabbed his hand and and he's looking at her like she's all crazy. was like, you don't remember me, do you? And she slapped his hand and he looked at her and he looked at me and he's like, God damn.

00:03:42.56
Keith
Just tough.

00:03:43.77
Jeremy
Yeah, she is. She is. She's a she hass a tough broad.

00:03:52.52
Jeremy
Where is Buddy?

00:03:54.57
Keith
I don't think he's coming, is he?

00:03:57.12
Jeremy
ah

00:03:57.20
Keith
did I thought he said he was on the road this week.

00:03:59.57
Jeremy
Oh, yeah.

00:04:00.85
Keith
I don't know if he's if he's coming along this time.

00:04:03.46
Jeremy
Okay. Well, the whole world is underwater, I guess.

00:04:04.87
Keith
So, I mean...

00:04:08.41
Keith
Who, what What?

00:04:09.59
Jeremy
So, um the whole world, I guess.

00:04:13.49
Keith
Well, we had the we had the big, we didn't have, but Russia had the the big earthquake off the coast um and it had big old tsunami that hit their coastline.

00:04:19.28
Jeremy
Yep. Yep.

00:04:22.22
Keith
And from the videos I've seen, man, I'll tell you what, look they look like they got wet. Now, of course, this this was a, this you know, that's a part of Russia that there's not a lot in, but that sent a tsunami wave out into the ocean, um which affected other parts of the world. But I didn't, from what I've seen on the news, it didn't really affect much.

00:04:42.51
Jeremy
Well, um it's still ongoing right now. um So Japan received a significant amount.

00:04:49.95
Keith
Well, it's still ongoing right now at the time of this recording, though.

00:04:52.86
Jeremy
Yeah, yeah. so Japan immediately, um just based off of proximity, um was put on high alert for tsunami waves.

00:04:54.10
Keith
Okay, yeah.

00:05:05.19
Jeremy
Alaska. and Hawaii both were put on ah mandatory evacuation in some areas where they were just trying to get them up to higher ground, you know, because in Hawaii, you got the the four major islands and there's only so far you can go up.

00:05:09.55
Keith
Mm-hmm.

00:05:21.73
Jeremy
um

00:05:21.84
Keith
Yeah.

00:05:23.18
Jeremy
But it sucks because, you know, just watching everything unfold and then you learn, of course, we had the fires in Hawaii sometime back.

00:05:35.03
Jeremy
And a lot of celebrities came in and swooped up and bought land and all those things. Oprah Winfrey ah has a private road that's in a significant distance that cut by basically bisects the large portion of the main island.

00:05:52.11
Jeremy
And she refused to open up that private road to allow people to escape. So that's a pretty shitty thing of her to do.

00:05:58.80
Keith
is that Is that real does that real ah ah data? or i mean Or is that just bullshit online kind of stuff? It sounds like some somebody wouldn't do.

00:06:06.60
Jeremy
I'm, I, well, I mean, Oprah Winfrey. Yeah, she would absolutely do that.

00:06:11.80
Keith
oh Yeah. Yeah.

00:06:13.20
Jeremy
Yeah. I mean, yeah i go back to the blue roof theory, you know, from, from the fires, but you know, I've seen it at least in five to six different media outlets online.

00:06:27.76
Jeremy
um So i don't know exactly where it's coming from, but if it is absolutely real, you know, and it's pretty shitty thing for her to do.

00:06:37.88
Keith
Yeah, it is.

00:06:40.49
Jeremy
And then, so the magnitude was an 8.8, which is one of the strongest and recorded history of of how long we've been recording.

00:06:50.41
Keith
Sixth strongest earthquake in recorded history.

00:06:52.37
Jeremy
Is it?

00:06:53.66
Keith
Six. Number six. That's a big one, man.

00:06:56.09
Jeremy
Yeah, I mean, 8.8 Yeah.

00:06:57.53
Keith
ah They make movies out of eight point, you know, eight point something earthquakes. They make movies out of that.

00:07:01.45
Jeremy
yeah Yeah. And, you know, this is kind of like, there's a there's a lot going on in the world. You know, you don't have just

00:07:12.40
Jeremy
this happening off the coast of Russia. It's almost like the fault lines all across the world are waking up. You got volcanoes that have been dormant for however many recorded number of years waking up.

00:07:27.67
Jeremy
um it's It's like, it's crazy. You know, you've got

00:07:30.88
Keith
the The Ring of Fire has been active, very, very active.

00:07:32.97
Jeremy
Yeah, it's it's waking up. The whole damn world is flooded. Like, everywhere is flooding, you know? And even in the Middle East, it shouldn't be a thing.

00:07:44.48
Jeremy
But yet again, ah the dudes are out there cloud seeding.

00:07:47.11
Keith
Right.

00:07:48.86
Jeremy
Dudes are out there messing with with nature. And the whole planet is paying the penalty. And, you know, tin hat theory, somebody's behind it, you know?

00:08:00.85
Jeremy
i mean...

00:08:02.10
Keith
Well, could it be the like the butterfly effect? You know, you you you make a little rainstorm in the middle of the Sahara and affects something else, which affects something else. was Next thing you know, you've got an earthquake in you know in the ring of fire somewhere.

00:08:14.40
Keith
I mean, you don't know how we don't know how this stuff affects each other.

00:08:14.97
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:08:18.80
Jeremy
Yeah. I do honestly believe that because of mankind ah voluntarily messing with the weather where we have no business meddling in, um we're paying the price for it.

00:08:32.54
Jeremy
I mean, everywhere, literally everywhere is flooding. Places that don't flood are flooding. um You look at New York City, flooded.

00:08:41.51
Keith
Yeah.

00:08:41.92
Jeremy
jerseyors Jersey, flooded.

00:08:44.46
Keith
Yeah, that's right.

00:08:44.70
Jeremy
um You know, here North Carolina, again, um a lot of different places in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona. it's just It's just an unimaginable amount of rain in places that shouldn't be getting an unimaginable amount of rain.

00:09:03.52
Keith
Yeah. And we here in the Midwest, which in the Midwest, you're supposed to have like the, the, ah the most awesome weather. It's, ah it's known for being just perfect all the time, you know, and you have, you have great winters, you have great springs, you have all the great seasons.

00:09:18.57
Keith
We're not, we're in a fricking heat wave right now. That's like Texas size heat wave. It's ending today. ah today being was a Wednesday it's and ending today. So we're going to hopefully go into like some more normal seasonal stuff, but we're talking about Texas type heat in Missouri.

00:09:35.99
Keith
It's, it's unheard of, unheard of.

00:09:38.10
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:09:38.19
Keith
mean, people have, you know, people have their, ah their crops are are being damaged by it. um I can definitely tell from, from my garden for, for sure. um Livestock is, is really taking a hit with this heat.

00:09:52.37
Keith
The heat and humidity has been terrible.

00:09:52.68
Jeremy
Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know that our garden, you know, it's our own personal crops. We have, we were actually doing a look at like,

00:10:03.81
Jeremy
our our our harvest last year as compared to this year, this year has sucked. I mean, it it started out great, you know, plants were growing, doing, ah you know, what they're supposed to be doing.

00:10:16.23
Keith
Right.

00:10:16.94
Jeremy
And then we had weeks upon weeks of just rain. And then we had just stank ass, hot, humid, like unconstitutional, un-Christian heat.

00:10:30.76
Jeremy
And,

00:10:30.80
Keith
It's a strange, it's a strange year, man.

00:10:32.82
Jeremy
It has been so odd and it's like, we're getting, you know, tomatoes here and there, we're getting some okra here and there. But our cucumbers look like there's just pathetic ball sack looking, you know, fricking cucumbers.

00:10:49.31
Jeremy
We've got a, we've got a, a, a one watermelon that exploded. the it just like, it literally exploded and split open. um We've got, ah what is it called? Some of our melons.

00:11:02.70
Jeremy
ah We got a cantaloupe out there that just looks, I don't even know how to describe it. I can't even look at it. It's just, And the bees are back and that's great.

00:11:13.42
Jeremy
You know, the bees are back.

00:11:13.96
Keith
And you're you're on the East Coast, so i mean you should have really nice gardens there.

00:11:15.24
Jeremy
Yeah. They're yeah.

00:11:20.19
Jeremy
We should. And, you know, typically right now we would be, and we, we have started getting our peppers and we've started doing, you know, ah some stuff is now coming in more so than in the past few weeks, but man, it's like this, our garden's taking a hit hardcore.

00:11:39.32
Keith
And you were you were saying about the bees? Yeah.

00:11:41.54
Jeremy
Yeah, so we, you know, early spring, you know, the bees were doing their job. They're out there in their thing. And then we noticed that we had incomplete um a germination.

00:11:55.27
Jeremy
of some of the flowers. like They weren't getting pollinated completely. And so we were trying to pollinate by hand and it was like just everything disappeared for a while.

00:12:06.37
Jeremy
ah The bumblebees, the the the honeybees, were gone. just they were gone

00:12:11.99
Keith
Yeah. It's weird.

00:12:12.50
Jeremy
And now they're back. So the bees are in the flowers.

00:12:14.59
Keith
it's weird

00:12:15.40
Jeremy
Yeah. And but the thing also is like are um our squash, our zucchini, our pumpkins, we could not find at all any female flowers except for like one or two.

00:12:32.96
Jeremy
No female flowers. Did a little research, started cutting back a significant amount of the vines and, you know, cutting away flowers that were just males, you know, trying to get some female flowers to produce didn't work, nothing.

00:12:48.59
Jeremy
And I think Missy found like two females yesterday or the day before. So she got out there and did some hand pollination and did that. But, um,

00:12:59.31
Keith
Okay, so that's really interesting because I made a video this morning. It's not online or anything yet, but I made a video.

00:13:02.78
Jeremy
Hmm.

00:13:04.63
Keith
We have a pumpkin plant, if you want to call it that, in the garden. I had to take a video because it's taking over a whole entire section. It's 37 feet long.

00:13:16.28
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:13:17.07
Keith
It's taking over my entire garden, and there are no female flowers on the dang thing.

00:13:22.46
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:13:22.66
Keith
It's all male flowers. There are pollinators flying all over them, but they're not doing anything.

00:13:27.02
Jeremy
Yeah. So what I learned was um and the morning, you get out there as you know as early as you can because they they open up with the sun and then they close very quickly. um But you get out there and you take a look. And if you have, and I can't remember the distance,

00:13:42.89
Keith
Oh, wait, wait. So I have a lot of closed ones. Are you saying that the closed ones might be female ones?

00:13:48.12
Jeremy
No, no, no. So all of the flowers, all the flowers open up in the morning.

00:13:49.37
Keith
Oh, okay. Okay.

00:13:52.03
Jeremy
And i don't know if you know, and I'm sure you do, but so um have you ever heard of people playing music to their garden? Have you ever heard of that?

00:14:01.18
Keith
Uh-uh. No.

00:14:02.30
Jeremy
So, um and I can't remember what it's called, but in the morning, the birds start chirping, the birds start chirping, the wind is blowing a little bit. You hear the morning sounds.

00:14:14.28
Keith
Yeah.

00:14:14.34
Jeremy
you know the the world is like waking up it's coming to life yeah those sounds some people theorize is what actually spurns the flowers on plants to open up and the opening up of the flowers is to invite the pollinators to come in and do their thing yeah so

00:14:16.62
Keith
It's waking up. Yeah.

00:14:29.18
Keith
Is that right? Wow. Vibrations. And that's crazy.

00:14:34.46
Jeremy
Yeah. Sounds of the birds and all those different things.

00:14:36.95
Keith
Right.

00:14:37.80
Jeremy
um And i I know that I get up in the morning usually first. I'm up around between 6 and 6.30, sometimes 7. I'll let the start the coffee, let the dogs out. They go do their thing.

00:14:51.27
Jeremy
And when I walk the garden, I'm looking and I'm counting how many male flowers I see. And it's been just nothing but males. And so when I watched like i watched a couple of videos about it and this one guy, he so like, let's just say you start at the very, very end of your um your vine.

00:15:08.59
Jeremy
And then you see that one male. Remove a couple of those large leaf, you know, so sections, just the leaves themselves. And then go down to the next flower. That next male flower, remove it.

00:15:22.20
Jeremy
Cut it down to its base, remove it in a couple of couple more leaves. leave the next flower and you just continue down that path, alternating how many males are actually on the plant.

00:15:34.49
Jeremy
And by doing that, it's, it's no.

00:15:35.83
Keith
do you Do you leave the stem like the long arm and just taking off the lead? cut You're cutting the whole thing down to that point.

00:15:41.19
Jeremy
Yeah. I'm cutting it down to the vine.

00:15:41.75
Keith
Okay, you're cutting it back.

00:15:43.22
Jeremy
Right.

00:15:44.51
Keith
Okay.

00:15:44.69
Jeremy
So you're giving it a big haircut and what it does is it allows the energy of the plant to be focused to creating more flowers, which should prompt it to ah grow females.

00:16:00.15
Jeremy
So you got to take the male and you got to find the female.

00:16:00.55
Keith
Gotcha, gotcha.

00:16:03.63
Jeremy
the difference The only difference between the male and the female is in The male has ah what looks like a single prong inside of the flower.

00:16:11.56
Keith
Right.

00:16:11.77
Jeremy
And then the female, you'll see them, it looks like a cluster, sometimes three, sometimes four. When you see multiple of those prongs inside of the center, that is the female.

00:16:22.86
Jeremy
So you got to take that male, take the whole flower off, put it inside of the female flower and, you know, do girl boy things. And all you're doing is just rubbing the pollen together. And that is what...

00:16:33.70
Keith
Right. Right. I've seen, I've seen it on videos, but I haven't done it yet.

00:16:36.90
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:16:37.55
Keith
I've seen it about being done with pepper plants.

00:16:40.33
Jeremy
know the Here's the thing about peppers. And a lot of people, and when they grow peppers, they just throw all their peppers together. You shouldn't do that. So jalapenos need to be separated from bell peppers. Bell peppers that are green need to be...

00:16:54.32
Jeremy
and I know this is probably not the right word to use. I know it is. But when it comes to peppers, you have to practice segregation. So it's the only I know.

00:17:04.05
Keith
Ooh, you're getting canceled.

00:17:05.88
Jeremy
i know we are getting canceled. So here's like here's the thing. Uh, peppers, unlike a lot of plants, peppers do not need insects to pollinate.

00:17:16.76
Jeremy
The only thing peppers need to pollinate is the wind. So, um, if you have, let's just say green bell peppers right next to your jalapenos, your jalapenos may not be as spicy.

00:17:20.18
Keith
o

00:17:29.66
Jeremy
Uh, they might get bigger. And your your bell peppers might pick up a little bit of spice and their shape may change because all peppers, every single pepper in this planet will cross pollinate with each other.

00:17:36.04
Keith
right

00:17:43.20
Jeremy
So we separate our jalapenos from the lemon drops, from the bell peppers, from the jelloros, from all, yeah everybody has to be on their own little section of the garden.

00:17:43.18
Keith
right

00:17:56.39
Jeremy
Cause I mean, warehouse sits now is basically, it's like a wind tunnel. So I want to keep the peppers the way that they are, because once you have a crossbred pepper, those seeds are no longer going to be viable.

00:18:12.37
Jeremy
So i want to keep as, you know, again, i hate to use the connotation, but I want pure peppers. I want pure jalapenos.

00:18:25.47
Jeremy
um And, you know, those lemon drops that ah Buddy had recommended, we finally got some and went ahead and got them off the vine and they're long, you know, and i started just, I just bit into it just to give it a taste test.

00:18:42.40
Jeremy
No spice. And then as I worked my way up towards where the seeds were, then all of a sudden it hit and I was like, okay, it's not super intense, but it's a kind of it's kind of a different kind of burn, you know, maybe, i don't know.

00:18:55.07
Keith
Like a little stingy, like a little stingy kind of burn.

00:18:59.31
Jeremy
It's, it was just different. And so on that one, we pulled like three peppers that day. I went ahead and cut them all open. I cooked the peppers with some breakfast and then i set the seeds off to the side. Those seeds were brown and shriveled within a couple of hours.

00:19:17.43
Jeremy
So i don't know if those peppers were fully developed yet or if that particular kind of pepper is actually crossbred pepper. So even though that website claimed they were heirloom,

00:19:30.79
Jeremy
I'm not 100% sure on it yet.

00:19:33.20
Keith
i'm and I'm looking them up right now because I forget what but Buddy was talking about. Oh, they're nice looking.

00:19:39.12
Jeremy
Yeah, they taste good too. um I ended up...

00:19:41.23
Keith
So it's supposed to be a sweet pepper or it supposed to add a little spice to it?

00:19:44.51
Jeremy
it's No, it had some spice to it, but it wasn't until you got up closer to the seeds. Unlike like jalapenos, when you bite into them, you know you you taste jalapeno, you feel the burn.

00:19:55.00
Jeremy
And the closer you get to the seeds, the more intense it gets.

00:19:54.97
Keith
Yeah.

00:19:57.68
Jeremy
But this point at the bottom, it tasted like a bell pepper. And I was like, oh, these are going to be kind of weak.

00:20:01.02
Keith
Mmm.

00:20:03.79
Jeremy
And then I was like, oh, there it is. Okay. Yeah, I get it. Mm-hmm.

00:20:08.05
Keith
My peppers are popping a little bit. they're They're starting to come up now. My biggest problem was that I, and we're not going to make this mistake next year, but I planted all of my pepper plants. I got these great big giant beds, eight by four.

00:20:20.99
Keith
And I planted all of my pepper plants around the outside edge of the, and then I put my tomatoes on the inside problem. Tomatoes grow six feet tall and they block the sun from the most of the daytime sun, at least half of the day on each side, you know, and and peppers need full sun all day.

00:20:30.16
Jeremy
Mm-hmm.

00:20:35.47
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah.

00:20:38.10
Jeremy
yeah

00:20:38.40
Keith
And now, now that the tomatoes are starting to die back and they're getting smaller and this and that, um, the, the power plants are shooting up now, you know, they're like, they're like three, four feet tall now.

00:20:47.66
Jeremy
Yeah, ours are, most of ours are a bush variety. um we We've already gotten some jalapenos.

00:20:52.65
Keith
Mm-hmm.

00:20:55.38
Jeremy
We've got those banana, or and not the banana peppers, but the the lemon drops that came out. um But most peppers, especially jalapenos, they do not go into their full growth cycle until the hardest hottest part of the year.

00:21:11.25
Jeremy
So they require not just sun, but they require heat. they They crave heat.

00:21:16.29
Keith
Right. and And what I've learned also is fertilization. just started feeding them. They're just starting bust out now.

00:21:22.60
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. so what we do early on and cause you know, and here's another great thing about our garden right now. yeah We are supplementing the soil and we're doing those things cause we actually start pretty early with, uh, I went every time I cook rice, I collect the rice water.

00:21:42.26
Jeremy
It's an amazing fertilizer. of course we're constantly saving coffee, ah coffee grounds.

00:21:48.07
Keith
always and and the extra coffee too

00:21:48.95
Jeremy
Yeah. Coffee grounds. Yeah, out coffee grounds and and peppers, amazing. um But we try to get that early on. and this this year, the peppers, were they were they came along pretty slow.

00:22:03.17
Jeremy
you know Other people were telling us, yeah, man, we got these peppers and they're doing great.

00:22:03.96
Keith
hmm no not ours very slow man

00:22:08.74
Jeremy
Yeah. Now, here's the thing that I found out is they went and bought little pepper plants from the store.

00:22:16.42
Keith
Oh, okay.

00:22:17.76
Jeremy
We grew, yeah we grew ours completely from seed and yeah.

00:22:21.82
Keith
Right. Same, same with us. Yeah.

00:22:23.94
Jeremy
And one of the varieties, I got them from that seed company out in the mountains that I was telling you all about, but um it's labeled as a late season pepper.

00:22:36.30
Jeremy
So it's going to come up in the hottest part of the year and the slower they grow, the more intense the flavor.

00:22:36.54
Keith
Hmm.

00:22:43.66
Jeremy
So yeah.

00:22:44.58
Keith
Hmm.

00:22:46.08
Jeremy
um

00:22:46.92
Keith
Well, we've got the um Mad Hatters are really popping up big now. We've been eating them. They're delicious. um Not as hot as a jalapeno, but really delicious.

00:22:55.11
Jeremy
Mm-hmm. Mm-mm.

00:22:55.32
Keith
um the the um We've got some really great sweet, I think they're are the ahis, or they just maybe they're just sweet peppers, um yellow and orange ones, and they're they're pretty tasty as well.

00:23:08.04
Keith
ah The jalapenos are just starting to come up now. why do have We do have a couple of culapenos. They're like a hybrid where there are no heat jalapenos. I don't know if you've heard of them. um ah ah there's one called fake Jew jalapeno and culapeno.

00:23:21.47
Keith
These are brand names, but they're basically jalapenos that are that are made to not be hot. I've also got a habanero out there, a couple of them that are no heat.

00:23:29.98
Jeremy
I'm,

00:23:31.67
Keith
And i we tasted the jalapeno ones and and without the heat, it's just not a jalapeno.

00:23:39.14
Jeremy
no

00:23:40.59
Keith
it just You bite into it and you go, i don't get I'm not understanding what I'm tasting here. It almost takes like a jalapeno, but it doesn't.

00:23:45.80
Jeremy
i

00:23:48.34
Keith
It's like a little, it's like the redheaded stepchild. It just doesn't work. It's something that went wrong about it.

00:23:52.51
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if you if you didn't have any heat in any of your peppers, they would all be bell peppers, essentially.

00:24:02.32
Keith
They would all be, that that's exactly right. It tastes like a bland bell pepper, basically.

00:24:05.69
Jeremy
Yeah. I love my problem with bell peppers is I'll just take them off the vine, ah crack them open.

00:24:11.45
Keith
A good one. Nice, nice and sweet one.

00:24:12.85
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:24:13.06
Keith
Oh yeah.

00:24:13.36
Jeremy
Take it off the vine, double check for bugs and just have at it. I love those things.

00:24:17.89
Keith
yeah

00:24:18.51
Jeremy
And for a long time, I actually would not touch bell peppers. And I used to eat the shit out of them when I was a kid.

00:24:24.85
Keith
Well, the ones in the store are so bland.

00:24:26.75
Jeremy
Yeah, but when I was a kid and we where were we at at the time?

00:24:27.84
Keith
They can be.

00:24:31.06
Jeremy
I think we were we were stationed at Keesler Air Force Base. And um my mom had a garden. i walked out there and i had she she it was it got angry when I did it, but I used to take the bell peppers off the vines and just eat them.

00:24:44.37
Jeremy
And i that's how much I loved them. Well, I did that one day and i'd been into it and I didn't realize a family of wasps had moved, had moved into that particular bell pepper.

00:24:51.80
Keith
Oh.

00:24:55.54
Jeremy
And I got stung in the mouth. I got stung on the face and it traumatized the shit out of me.

00:25:01.49
Keith
Wow. Wow. Yeah, you're never going eat a bell pepper again in your life.

00:25:06.12
Jeremy
Yeah, and I didn't for a very, very long time. And then, you know, I grew up and, but now even still, i will take a peek inside just to make sure.

00:25:17.78
Keith
Yeah, no shit.

00:25:18.23
Jeremy
um The other great thing we got going on right now is, you know, the bees came back, but also um we have a ton of dragonflies.

00:25:29.51
Jeremy
And dragonflies are a good sign that the ecology ecology of your particular environment is sound. Because dragonflies won't go places where the the the area is not you know sound itself.

00:25:44.99
Jeremy
It's like there's something off.

00:25:45.42
Keith
oh

00:25:46.23
Jeremy
you If you don't see dragonflies, there's something wrong with that environment. um But dragonflies are great for the garden because they eat gnats, which we have a massive problem with gnats.

00:25:58.20
Jeremy
They eat flies. They eat mosquitoes. Some people are like, no, they're bad because they'll eat the the the bees. You know what? Something's going to...

00:26:06.47
Keith
I don't think I've ever seen a dragonfly eat a bee. We've got lots of bees and dragonflies.

00:26:09.49
Jeremy
No. I've never seen it, but they are voracious eaters. They will eat hundreds of mosquitoes a day. And if they can't get a mosquito, they're going to snatch a gnat.

00:26:22.38
Jeremy
um And I'm seriously considering next year, I'm going to order a couple of boxes of, what are they called? no damn it.

00:26:34.85
Keith
Dragonfly?

00:26:34.91
Jeremy
praying mantis, praying mantis, ah ah egg sacs, I want to put them out there in the spring.

00:26:36.11
Keith
Oh, pretty Mantis, yes.

00:26:42.23
Jeremy
and then I want to let them develop. I wanted them to do their thing and then just unleash the beast upon the ah garden. I want, I want to see praying mantises everywhere.

00:26:53.96
Jeremy
They are nature's like perfect pest control. Now, will they eat everything that they can grab to include birds? Yes. However, would and spiders, but and I, I have a really bad problem with spiders.

00:27:04.73
Keith
and spiders

00:27:11.34
Keith
you or your place has you yeah me personally too man me i'm not good

00:27:11.44
Jeremy
Except yes, no, like me personally, i I'm, it's not good. It's not good at all. I have tried to like overcome that.

00:27:23.05
Jeremy
And here in North Carolina, we have a butt ton of them. And the ones that are in the garden, i don't mess with them. I let them do their thing because I want them there. I don't want bad insects in my plants.

00:27:35.51
Jeremy
So I let those be.

00:27:36.72
Keith
Mm-hmm.

00:27:37.55
Jeremy
The other spiders around the house, we have an unwritten agreement. They do their thing at night. I don't want them there in the morning. i don't I don't care where they go. i don't care what they do.

00:27:49.18
Jeremy
and don't want to see them when I walk out because i have walked out and walked into spider web and im it that'll ruin my whole six-month time frame. It'll just ruin my day.

00:28:02.33
Jeremy
And um it's so stupid that at my age, I have such a problem with spiders. I don't mind snakes, but spiders and scorpions, I'm not um not about that.

00:28:14.12
Keith
Everybody who knows me knows that I, that most people who know know that I am rectophobic. I am terrified of spiders and they can be small and they can be large and they still freak me out every single time.

00:28:26.25
Keith
it doesn't make a difference.

00:28:26.68
Jeremy
Mm-hmm.

00:28:26.97
Keith
And I live in the woods where there are, we got tarantulas here. We've got giant spiders, small spider, every kind of spiders you can think of. They're everywhere. And I just, my brain works in a way where it's a, it's like a, um, if you don't see them, they don't exist kind of a thing.

00:28:34.22
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:28:42.95
Keith
you know what i mean? Like, as long as I don't see it, can, you know, if it's crawling on my back and I don't know about it, you know, I'm going I'm a happy person.

00:28:43.78
Jeremy
Yeah. yeah

00:28:48.75
Keith
But as soon as that thing hit, I mean, I've woken up with a dead, we have brown recluse here.

00:28:53.51
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:28:53.59
Keith
And I woke up with ah with a, with a giant dead brown recluse stuck to my cheek, meaning it was crawling on me at night.

00:28:59.08
Jeremy
Oh.

00:29:02.64
Jeremy
Oh, man.

00:29:02.67
Keith
And somewhere along a line, it got killed. And I'm thinking that itself, I've had nightmares about that one thing. So I'm checking the back the bed every single time I go to sleep.

00:29:11.44
Jeremy
ah

00:29:11.44
Keith
I know it's crazy, but.

00:29:12.42
Jeremy
Oh, man.

00:29:13.26
Keith
And I love the woods. I love trees. I love being in the trees and cutting down stuff. And I love being in the leaves, but there are spiders in there and I don't like spiders.

00:29:24.16
Keith
Yeah.

00:29:24.33
Jeremy
i um I grew up in San Antonio. And one of the houses that we lived in for quite a long time, there was a creek that ran behind our house. And, um you know, and San Antonio is prone to flooding in certain times of the year.

00:29:38.79
Jeremy
And it was a really bad storm, started flooding. And um we were all kind of just hanging out in the living room.

00:29:44.42
Keith
ah San Antonio is a haven for spiders, man.

00:29:47.06
Jeremy
Oh, dude. But it was it was more than that.

00:29:48.10
Keith
Wet and hot.

00:29:50.30
Jeremy
So we're hanging out. And um we were, the power was out. So we're just kind of sitting around talking, playing games or whatever in the living room under candles. And we were all sitting on my mom's old poncho liner from when she had one, she was in the military.

00:30:07.31
Jeremy
And there's these strings on the corner of the poncho liner. My sister, I guess, thought when she was touching one of those strings and then she got zapped by a scorpion.

00:30:21.24
Keith
oh

00:30:21.37
Jeremy
So she freaks out. My mom gets up. She's taking care of it. And then we see another scorpion and then another scorpion. The house was completely infested with scorpions. um You know, we got that sort of taken care of.

00:30:34.21
Keith
I've had a scorpion in my house several several times, even in my bed, but I've never seen an infestation of them, though.

00:30:41.46
Jeremy
they were They were everywhere. It wasn't just scorpions. It was like every manner of bug to include the spiders. But because they they had to go somewhere. And so they decided apparently to squat in our house.

00:30:54.66
Keith
Mm-hmm.

00:30:54.78
Jeremy
um And I have a habit of putting my arm underneath my pillow. And I did that. And then all of a sudden i got zapped, pulled up the the the stupid pillow and there was a scorpion covered in babies.

00:31:04.12
Keith
Mm-hmm.

00:31:11.16
Keith
oh

00:31:11.36
Jeremy
And It got me bad and I freaked out. These stupid scorpion babies apparently freaked out. They went everywhere. So now there's thousands of freaking scorpions in our house.

00:31:23.63
Keith
Oh my God. It's just, these are things of nightmares, man.

00:31:27.55
Jeremy
Oh, it is. It was horrible.

00:31:28.31
Keith
And I, and I've been stung twice by a scorpion, small ones in there. It's kind of like a wasp to me. It's what it felt like, but it just, this is a like nightmare freaking insects, man.

00:31:33.08
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:31:38.03
Jeremy
Dude, we had to leave our house for a couple of days. Like we had to go stay on.

00:31:40.99
Keith
Yeah. i Like, like the demon sent you down the road.

00:31:41.57
Jeremy
We had to, yeah, we had to, we had to leave the house for a few days, go into the on base. Uh, basically it's like a guest guest quarters, uh, while they did everything they needed to do with the house, man, it sucks so bad.

00:31:59.55
Jeremy
And you know, I see a scorpion now and I'm like, right, you just stay over there.

00:32:00.65
Keith
yep

00:32:05.13
Jeremy
to your, do your thing. um And it's kind of interesting in El Paso, they have this one, they call it a whip scorpion, um or some people call it a wind scorpion.

00:32:16.28
Jeremy
it's It looks exactly like a scorpion. It's got the little claws on the front and it's got a tail, but the tail is say super skinny. um And they call it a vinegroom.

00:32:28.22
Jeremy
And the tail, if you agitate it, it spits out basically vinegar.

00:32:33.83
Keith
Oh, wow.

00:32:33.91
Jeremy
It stinks to high heaven, but it's a defense mechanism and they eat bugs. They do, you know what they're supposed to do, but they're completely harmless.

00:32:40.58
Keith
Yeah.

00:32:44.09
Jeremy
We had a guy bring one into the office one time and I was like, you better get that damn thing out of here.

00:32:49.32
Keith
A scorpion to me is just like a spider. I don't go. I don't care, man.

00:32:51.75
Jeremy
oh yeah.

00:32:52.13
Keith
To me, it's it's in the same. It's the same damn thing.

00:32:54.22
Jeremy
Yep. Well, they're related. Um, yeah, they're related.

00:32:56.97
Keith
Are they really? Hmm.

00:32:58.49
Jeremy
They're both arachnids. Um, and then you have, you know, the camel spider that everybody talks about and, and camel spiders are technically,

00:33:06.68
Keith
They look huge, man.

00:33:08.88
Jeremy
Some of them are, um but oh yeah, hundreds.

00:33:10.93
Keith
Have you ever seen one like in real life? Oh.

00:33:14.16
Jeremy
um

00:33:14.30
Keith
who

00:33:14.96
Jeremy
and We have them in El Paso too, but the thing is they're not spiders. They're actually a type of scorpion. So yeah, yeah.

00:33:21.76
Keith
Whoa. No kidding.

00:33:24.19
Jeremy
um And it, the reason, I mean, it does look like a spider. If if you didn't know anything, and I didn't know this either, um The difference is is that Damn it, I'm doing the buddy thing.

00:33:42.74
Jeremy
um The camel spider, it does have a numbing effect when it actually bites into a thing, but it masticates.

00:33:52.89
Jeremy
It actually chews and eats its food.

00:33:53.98
Keith
Right. Right.

00:33:55.41
Jeremy
um Metadute...

00:33:56.31
Keith
Well, that famous picture of the military guy that's holding one, it's it's it looks like it's from his like head to his belly.

00:33:59.68
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:34:01.80
Keith
Apparently, that's actually two stuck together.

00:34:01.92
Jeremy
yeah

00:34:04.49
Jeremy
Yes, it is.

00:34:04.70
Keith
but they don't actually They don't actually get three feet long.

00:34:07.66
Jeremy
no No, no, Those two were fighting. I can remember in Iraq, we used to capture, um and and ah yeah in Afghanistan too, they used to capture emperor scorpions, which are those giant black ones that you don't want to mess with.

00:34:20.52
Keith
Yeah, they kill you.

00:34:20.92
Jeremy
And they used to capture the camel spiders and put them in an enclosure and watch them fight. It was... Is it mean? Yes. Yes, it's mean. Is it torturous? Absolutely. Is it entertaining? 100% entertaining.

00:34:36.58
Jeremy
So.

00:34:36.64
Keith
I mean, I'm against dog fighting, but insects, man, let them go at it. I mean, come on. They don't saying let them let them have fun that they're insects.

00:34:45.54
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's interesting to watch how they do it. um If they stay away from each other, because they're going to run into each other in nature.

00:34:56.67
Jeremy
But, and the only reason that they would fight per se is that they're after the same food. um

00:35:04.07
Keith
oh

00:35:04.92
Jeremy
So, but they will attack each other. They will eat each other given the opportunity, but camel spiders are carnivorous. They'll eat each other. um And, you know, it's, it's just, ah it's, and I'm glad we don't have them here.

00:35:21.87
Jeremy
I'll just say that because a lot of people, you know, they have these videos of what looks like a camel spider chasing after them. Camel spiders don't give a damn about us. They're trying to get in the shade that is provided by a person standing there.

00:35:35.12
Jeremy
If you just stood there and let a camel spider into your shade, it would just go there and just sit and and chill and just do nothing.

00:35:35.96
Keith
Oh.

00:35:43.25
Jeremy
So...

00:35:43.32
Keith
i I'm sorry, man. Still a spider.

00:35:45.62
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:35:45.76
Keith
I would run screaming like a little girl. i mean, I would.

00:35:48.44
Jeremy
That stupid thing would be chasing after you.

00:35:48.97
Keith
I would just be.

00:35:51.10
Jeremy
Hmm.

00:35:51.67
Keith
Let me tell you, let me tell you, I think it I may have said this on one of the older podcasts, but we went to West Texas, Rhonda and I, and we went, we got this great cabin type place off grid in the middle of the desert. And when I mean in the middle of the desert, I'm saying it, it takes like an hour just to get out to the main road.

00:36:11.17
Keith
There is nobody for hundreds of miles from this position that I'm in up in the, up in these canyons. It's that remote. And, ah ah ah And anyway, so I'm sitting on this rock, this sort of rock ridge overlooking this massive valley of just dirt and rock and beautiful scenery. And I'm just sitting there, you know, vaping it, just like, this is fantastic, man.

00:36:35.50
Keith
And apparently she decided to come up and put a great big giant rubber spider that looks very real.

00:36:40.99
Jeremy
yeah

00:36:43.75
Keith
right next to me on the rock, right next to my left leg, right next my left ass cheek right there.

00:36:48.99
Jeremy
well

00:36:49.24
Keith
And then, and then walk, and then gently walked away.

00:36:49.72
Jeremy
Classic. Yeah.

00:36:52.25
Keith
And I'm just, and I'm just out there and whatever. And she should have filmed me because because we were told, you know, if you go to this cabin in the, in the summertime, we went the store winters. You're going to be, they're going be tarantulas everywhere.

00:37:05.34
Jeremy
yeah

00:37:05.56
Keith
So I was worried about it right off the bat, but she she waited until I got to a knife cover nice comfortable ah position within my soul that there wasn't bad things around me to do this trick.

00:37:13.09
Jeremy
Mm-hmm.

00:37:16.85
Jeremy
Mm-mm-mm.

00:37:17.07
Keith
And, oh man, I ran like from the front, the the back of this place, all the way to the front yard, like the driveway, screaming like a little girl with this thing was sitting next to me. I thought I was going to die.

00:37:26.44
Jeremy
Mm-mm-mm.

00:37:28.05
Keith
You to see a big old boy run? ah You put up fake. She's got fake snakes in the garden that freaked me out every single time I see them. But she put them there because they apparently they they wore off squirrels and stuff, I think.

00:37:39.17
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. ah Fake snakes are good. um a lot of people around here will use fake crows, fake owls. um The only problem is if you use a fake owl, and owls are nocturnal.

00:37:54.26
Jeremy
So it might work like for a day, but then a squirrel is going to be like, wait a minute. I've seen that.

00:37:59.60
Keith
Yeah, the squirrels don't care. We got a fake owl.

00:38:01.24
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:38:01.72
Keith
It didn't give a shit about it, man.

00:38:02.76
Jeremy
Yeah. And it's like, he's like, okay, well, cool. They're hanging out at daytime now. So I just got to avoid that a particular owl when I come over here and destroy your garden.

00:38:10.01
Keith
Yeah.

00:38:13.28
Jeremy
So yeah, but the, oh man, squirrels, those stupid things are strawberries. I think we've only been able to actually pick and eat and enjoy like maybe two strawberries, maybe three.

00:38:26.46
Keith
Yeah, that's the same thing with us. I think we got like two each. they They eat them every night.

00:38:29.38
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:38:30.50
Keith
you they just come in and they devour them. We see the green ones and we're like, yay, we're going to get strawberries and then they're gone. Yep.

00:38:37.42
Jeremy
Yeah, i um I mean, and the dogs love to chase them. they they're convinced They're convinced that they're going to get one.

00:38:42.71
Keith
Oh, yeah.

00:38:45.52
Jeremy
One day they might, but um I will take an opportunity if I see one, and I keep my pellet gun in my shed now, and I'll zap a squirrel, skin it, and then let the dogs have it, let the dogs eat it.

00:39:00.64
Jeremy
So...

00:39:01.80
Keith
I shoot the 22 with a a very high powered scope on it. And I purposely will hit the the the the wood that's like what they're standing on. you're like if they're on a limb or on the side of the tree and they'll they'll don't jump like 10 feet.

00:39:15.15
Jeremy
yeah

00:39:16.59
Keith
It's funny as shit. Yeah.

00:39:18.42
Jeremy
You know, and it's, it's interesting. Squirrels are a lot tougher than you might think. Like when you go to clean one up and clean its hide and, you know, cut it open there, they're pretty damn tough. That skin is thick.

00:39:30.00
Keith
Yeah.

00:39:30.25
Jeremy
um But sometimes, and what,

00:39:31.59
Keith
I've never, I've never cleaned one. i've I've had squirrel, but I've never cleaned or gutted one or cleaned one.

00:39:36.15
Jeremy
Yeah. I mean, and if you're into coyote hunting and, or predator hunting, um, well, I've, I've saved the tails and, uh, you know, those, um, those markers, those little flag markers that they use for like construction and and landscaping and stuff.

00:39:51.02
Jeremy
Um, you just take the little plastic flag off of there, um and just tie the the squirrel tail to one of those.

00:39:54.80
Keith
Yeah.

00:39:59.25
Jeremy
And as the wind hits it, it starts flapping in the wind and it's great. You just sit there and get, Yeah. Give a couple of whistles and it will bring in a coyote. It absolutely will.

00:40:09.34
Keith
No shit.

00:40:10.29
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. It's super simple.

00:40:10.98
Keith
Wow.

00:40:12.35
Jeremy
Coyotes are smart, but they're also, they're like teenage kids. You know, they're super smart they're very wary, but eventually they're going to be like, you know what? I'm going to eat that. And then they'll start coming in and you yeah.

00:40:24.10
Keith
They're like squirrel.

00:40:25.50
Jeremy
And you just blow their brains out. It's, it's pretty great. I can't stand coyotes. I, I would love to start a campaign of just murdering coyotes, just wholesale.

00:40:37.07
Jeremy
You can't kill all of them. And I get that, but their numbers are so high now. They're, they're, ah they're heavily, heavily affecting the deer populations.

00:40:46.01
Keith
We hear them every single night. They're just, they're out there and they're howling and they're doing their thing.

00:40:47.92
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:40:50.69
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:40:50.81
Keith
You know, I'm i'm seeing a ah lot of, different from last year, I'm seeing a lot of baby deer. do they call them? Fawn? Do they them fawns?

00:40:59.42
Jeremy
Yeah. fun

00:41:00.17
Keith
Yeah, a lot of baby deers right now. They're like like only, what, three feet tall or something like that. A ton of them.

00:41:06.79
Jeremy
Yeah. And the way that in each state is a little bit different, um but the way deer season is designed is to where by the time deer season opens, the fawns that were born in the springs are able to take care of themselves.

00:41:21.62
Jeremy
If that, if that doe happens to be,

00:41:24.64
Keith
Oh yeah.

00:41:25.67
Jeremy
happens to be taken. So they can serve there're no they should be off of mother's milk and able to you know eat the plants that they're they're supposed to be eating.

00:41:36.59
Keith
Right.

00:41:36.73
Jeremy
Do they have a lower probability of growing to adulthood? Yes, unfortunately. However, um nature is cruel and only the strong survive.

00:41:47.64
Keith
Right.

00:41:48.22
Jeremy
So that's the way deer season is is is designed is um by the time it opens.

00:41:55.67
Keith
So there's a timing thing.

00:41:57.04
Jeremy
Yeah, it's a timing thing. So like our deer season is getting ready to start in September for bow, bow only. And then they open it up in stages. So you have bow only, and most of your bucks are still in felt.

00:42:10.97
Jeremy
So they're, they're not a hundred percent. um You know, they're still felt they're still in what we call bachelor groups. So they're still hanging out. They're still doing their thing. They're still buddies. They're still in felt and they're just trying to get all that crap off of their antlers because it's irritating.

00:42:27.37
Jeremy
um And then as time goes on bucks start to go through musk and they start to, they're, they go through a physical, ah mental change and they have this insane surge of testosterone and adrenaline.

00:42:47.17
Jeremy
And that's what makes them aggressive. That's what makes them act the way that they do. Um, the younger ones who were dumb enough to not watch the behaviors of the older ones, the younger ones are the ones that are out there, you know, getting shot early on.

00:43:06.48
Jeremy
Um, because they'll just, they pick up the scent, they're on it. They want to get something. And that's usually the ones that get shot pretty early. Um, your older bucks, um, they're more mature and they wait.

00:43:21.05
Jeremy
They let the young dudes do what they got to do. um But as a deer ages and as it grows, that surge of of testosterone and that surge of adrenaline, it takes a little bit longer. You know, it happens in us too.

00:43:35.59
Jeremy
Um, but it takes a little bit longer for an older buck to get fully stupid with that mixture. And then the older bucks will go do their thing. Same thing with older females, the older females will let the younger females go out there and do their thing.

00:43:52.69
Jeremy
And they're waiting because the female deer is actually the one that controls the mating. If the female deer doesn't, now there are males that will look legitimately,

00:44:04.88
Jeremy
And it's terrible to see. They'll assault a doe and they're going to get what they want.

00:44:08.51
Keith
They call it the rut, don't they? The rut season?

00:44:10.82
Jeremy
Yeah, that's the rut. So when a buck is in rut, the back of his legs get this nasty, stinky, black ah fluid and it stains it stains their fur. And you see this black down their hindquarters.

00:44:28.83
Jeremy
And when you see that, that is when when it's like long and it just, you can see it all the way down the back of the leg, that deer is like full retard. Like he is in the rut.

00:44:40.21
Jeremy
He is going hardcore. He's not eating. He's barely sleeping. And he is looking for females and he's looking to pick a fight. So... It's a weird time in the woods. It's exciting, you know, and it, cause it's easy to trick a deer that is in full rut.

00:44:57.82
Jeremy
Um, but early season and late season, it just, it, those two times are extremely difficult. So yeah.

00:45:05.31
Keith
That's interesting stuff.

00:45:06.63
Jeremy
Yeah. And rattling doesn't always work in some places. I have never once successfully called in a deer in North Carolina using a rattle ever. It just, it's not a, it's not a big thing around here.

00:45:19.07
Jeremy
Now, if you were in say South Texas, wide open spaces, yeah, rattling is probably going to be a little bit more prevalent. Um, it didn't work for me down in Georgia. um and it's just, it's kind of a thing, you know, i mean, yes, the deer are out there fighting, but if you don't catch them in the act, it's really hard to actually entice a buck, especially a mature buck to come out and want to take part in that fight.

00:45:47.28
Jeremy
Because some of those fights can get downright nasty. you know i've seen I've seen bucks killed by other bucks. um I have seen females killed by bucks that are in the hardcore rut.

00:45:59.94
Jeremy
So it's it's weird, man.

00:46:00.95
Keith
Wow.

00:46:01.72
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:46:05.62
Keith
The thunderstorms are about to roll in. I just got a text from Ronda. She's like, hey, I hear thunder outside. are We got anything to get anything straightened up?

00:46:12.60
Jeremy
Mm-hmm.

00:46:13.78
Keith
I'm like, that means that the heat wave is over. this This storm is what is going to end it for us.

00:46:17.72
Jeremy
Well, I don't know. We just had rain. it just...

00:46:22.25
Keith
No, no, no, no, This is specifically specifically the heat wave hitting the cool air. This storm that's coming tonight and tomorrow is like the the turning point to this heat wave supposed to be.

00:46:27.75
Jeremy
Oh.

00:46:32.54
Keith
And we're supposed to be like high 50s and 60s in the morning and like low 80s in the day.

00:46:32.67
Jeremy
Hmm.

00:46:38.33
Keith
It's going to be just be gorgeous. That's we're looking at for the next yeah for the next week.

00:46:39.81
Jeremy
Are you serious?

00:46:41.91
Keith
So everybody's very excited, man.

00:46:42.74
Jeremy
What the hell?

00:46:44.70
Keith
They're talking about the radio. It's big.

00:46:47.07
Jeremy
the world The world is ending, dude. I know it is.

00:46:48.74
Keith
yeah that back to where we started with beginning of the the deal with it's crazy mm-hmm

00:46:51.64
Jeremy
it I'm telling you, it's not even... but I'll tell you, there's three there's the ring of fire, of course. All the volcanoes around the world are you know opening up. You just had this you know earthquake.

00:47:06.71
Jeremy
Nations are at war, and they're speaking of war. And you guys are about to have a cool front. And it's not even August. And to top it off, I saw Lowe's putting out Halloween decorations yesterday.

00:47:14.49
Keith
oh

00:47:19.27
Keith
Oh my God. That's way too early, man.

00:47:21.01
Jeremy
And I'm like... And i yelled at him. I'm like, it's not even August, dude.

00:47:23.07
Keith
the That's way too early.

00:47:24.36
Jeremy
What?

00:47:25.04
Keith
It's still summertime. no no, no. And you got Africa splitting in half.

00:47:30.92
Jeremy
Oh, yeah, dude.

00:47:32.56
Keith
Did you hear about that?

00:47:33.82
Jeremy
I haven't heard about that that specifically, but I have... I'm just...

00:47:37.68
Keith
The continent of Africa is becoming two continents right before our eyes. It's happening in our time of our of the world. We're living in the time of Africa splitting into two right now.

00:47:50.32
Jeremy
wow ah

00:47:51.14
Keith
It's it's absolutely happening right now as we talk. You should look up the videos. The ground is opening up. Water is coming in and it's going to create massive inland sea. There's whole villages that or have have, you know, 50 yard, 100 yard gaps in their ground that just go straight down.

00:48:09.86
Jeremy
I'm looking at It says...

00:48:11.29
Keith
It's incredible, man.

00:48:12.85
Jeremy
So the AI, of course, the AI demon overlords, it says parts of Africa are indeed splitting apart due to tectonic activity, specifically along the East Africa rift system.

00:48:15.97
Keith
Yeah. Yeah.

00:48:24.48
Jeremy
That is crazy.

00:48:26.24
Keith
Yes. This is something that human beings, we talk about in science because we there's evidence of it, but we're actually seeing it happen. The two continents are splitting away from each other.

00:48:37.69
Jeremy
What the hell?

00:48:38.42
Keith
It's amazing. It's absolutely amazing. And once the whole thing, once the oceans come in and and the whole thing becomes a riverway, you know a waterway, it will effectively be two continents at that point.

00:48:50.60
Jeremy
That is incredible.

00:48:52.52
Keith
Yep.

00:48:52.61
Jeremy
this is This is the end times, dude. I'm telling you.

00:48:54.35
Keith
It's weird, man. It's just crazy.

00:48:55.58
Jeremy
Send the asteroid. send it. just send it

00:48:58.07
Keith
no, no, no, no. We don't want to say no Astro. Since this is a prepper survival of show and we're coming to the end of it, we're getting a little long here. Is there anything we need to tell people about? I mean, I was thinking tsunami wise, obviously if you live on the coast, you're,

00:49:13.87
Keith
um You should be, ah well, let's let's start, let's just do this really quick. So in the United States, first of all, nobody thinks a tsunami can get them. The United States has approximately, I looked this up before we did the show, 129 million people live in coastal counties along the Eastern seaboard.

00:49:31.97
Keith
Okay, that's 40% of the United States population.

00:49:32.04
Jeremy
Mm-hmm.

00:49:36.25
Keith
15.8 million people live on the coastal ah region of the Gulf of America. And 53.7 million people live on the West coast of the United States. It's just the United States. Okay. And 220,000 people live on the ah the coast of Alaska.

00:49:55.62
Keith
So we're talking about 60 something percent. We're talking about ah way more than half of the entire population of our country lives in coastal counties, not, not coastal states, coastal counties, right?

00:50:12.00
Jeremy
yeah

00:50:12.24
Keith
I was blown away by this. That's like, it's, it's incredible, man. We have 341 million people in this country and 200 million of us live on the coast. We can, those all can be affected by a tsunami.

00:50:26.64
Keith
Not like the movies kind of tsunami where it's, you know, at 300, you know, ah miles high and it's taking over skyscrapers. No, just regular tsunamis that can come in several miles and ruin life for your area for years.

00:50:34.15
Jeremy
yeah

00:50:41.50
Jeremy
Well, I mean, here's a couple of things. um To get a tsunami wave that is similar to the movies, you would have to have a planet altering sort of, ah well, not just asteroid, but a a a planet killing, I guess, seismic event in the ocean.

00:50:52.11
Keith
Oh,

00:51:01.06
Jeremy
um It could be, you know, it could be an asteroid.

00:51:01.79
Keith
oh I see what you're saying. Yes. Like a massive underwater landslide or something to that effect.

00:51:04.86
Jeremy
It could be, Yeah. Yeah. Or, you know, it could be, you know, there's tiny little explosions all across the planet every single day, all day long.

00:51:16.60
Jeremy
And those are vents that are coming from the core of the earth. And, you know, the heat's got to go somewhere. The gas has got to go somewhere. So it's going to go through the path of least resistance, just like water.

00:51:27.78
Jeremy
So you have these things happening. We are sitting, like our planet is sitting on top of a giant rotating ball of, you know, just heat.

00:51:40.51
Jeremy
So at some point in time, if something were to happen big enough, yeah, it could cause a significant ah tsunami type wave like that. and And you got to think about the nuclear testing that happened in the 40s, 50s, and 60s.

00:51:54.49
Jeremy
ah Think about the Bikini Atoll.

00:51:56.32
Keith
ah The Bikini Atoll is going to say that.

00:51:57.90
Jeremy
yeah

00:51:58.16
Keith
Yeah, those waves came in for miles and miles.

00:52:00.73
Jeremy
Miles, you know, the underground detonations that took place, those those that have heavily affected sea life.

00:52:01.04
Keith
Those waves came in.

00:52:08.77
Jeremy
As a matter of fact, if you didn't know this, SpongeBob SquarePants is actually supposed to be the Bikini Atoll.

00:52:15.78
Keith
Is that right?

00:52:15.83
Jeremy
It's, yeah, yeah. Why do you think there would be a sponge dancing and talking and working at a burger joint?

00:52:20.31
Keith
Well, it's a kid show. First of all, I love SpongeBob.

00:52:23.59
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:52:23.58
Keith
It's one of my most favorite things ever.

00:52:25.50
Jeremy
But, yeah.

00:52:25.52
Keith
But so you're you're they're saying it kind of started like as like the ah they got affected.

00:52:29.25
Jeremy
It is supposed to be prepared tsunami-type wave.

00:52:30.47
Keith
But by. No kidding.

00:52:33.75
Jeremy
One, you really have to pay attention to where you live.

00:52:34.80
Keith
Wow.

00:52:36.39
Jeremy
You've got have your eyes open. You've got to have your ears open. You have to pay attention to where you live. one you have to you really have to pay attention to where you live you gotta to have your eyes open you gotta have your ears open you you have to pay attention to where you live A lot of people like every day, they're just in la-la land and they think nothing's ever going to happen because they, their parents, their grandparents, the next amount of time went through, nothing happened. They think nothing's going to happen.

00:53:08.25
Jeremy
If you're prepared for a massive flood, you're prepared for a tsunami wave. If you are prepared to be able to go to higher ground because of flooding, you're prepared for a tsunami. A lot of people nowadays, and I do not know why,

00:53:20.91
Jeremy
They get a a ah warning or an order to go ahead and evacuate, and they don't. I don't know why they don't. They wait, and they go back and they gather bullshit stuff out of their house rather than having stuff ready to go and a plan to get to a place.

00:53:39.40
Jeremy
I personally will never, ever, and I mean ever, voluntarily choose to live on the west coast of this country. One, I can't stand it. But two, I know that there's the other side of the ocean over on that side.

00:53:53.37
Jeremy
I already deal with ocean here.

00:53:53.71
Keith
Yes. Yes. Well, the West, the West coast of our, of our country is a part of that ring of fire. And those of you listening now who don't understand what we say, the ring of fire, look it up.

00:54:01.34
Jeremy
Right.

00:54:04.61
Keith
You'll learn all kinds of cool stuff about the planet.

00:54:07.11
Jeremy
Yeah. i mean um it's, yeah. So, but, yeah.

00:54:13.28
Keith
There are thousands of earthquakes every single day in California and the West coast and that whole area.

00:54:18.09
Jeremy
yeah we may never Yeah, and you never really hear about it, but I personally wouldn't want to live an area in an area that is at such a high risk.

00:54:18.37
Keith
It's always moving.

00:54:27.72
Jeremy
ah it's just It's literally just in my mind, I'm like, well I don't even know why California is still a thing. I don't know why Oregon and some of those other places are still a thing. Yeah, yeah.

00:54:36.17
Keith
Well, because they're beautiful.

00:54:38.23
Jeremy
yeah

00:54:38.24
Keith
The environments are absolutely gorgeous. The redwood forests are there. the i mean, the Pacific Northwest is absolutely gorgeous.

00:54:44.86
Jeremy
yeah

00:54:45.07
Keith
I mean, forever from the from the bottom to the top, it is a beautiful place to be. It's just very active.

00:54:50.01
Jeremy
But they, yeah, it's very active. They don't maintain their forests. And because they don't maintain their forest, they have massive, yeah, they have massive problems with forest fires.

00:54:56.77
Keith
Forest fires. Yep.

00:55:00.44
Jeremy
They will not clean out their forest or their forest floors, which is one of the biggest problems. Oh, dude.

00:55:07.29
Keith
you know how Do you know how many jobs they can create for people if they if they started putting some sort of management plan in for the forest like they do other countries?

00:55:14.17
Jeremy
it's It's insane, man. It's insane. I don't even know why California... I don't want to even go down that path. Gavin Newsom is a communist scumbag, and I don't know why California is a thing. I'll just say that.

00:55:24.66
Keith
Well, and he's young and he's got ah and he's popular, so he'll be around for a while, unfortunately. It's just the way it is, man.

00:55:29.35
Jeremy
yeah But i my my greatest suggestion for being prepared for a tsunami is have a flood kit, an extensive flood kit.

00:55:41.65
Jeremy
Have a plan of a place to go. Pre-select your routes, travel those routes, and when somebody in government or somebody who, if you even get the inkling of somebody said you guys need to evacuate, frickin' leave.

00:55:56.58
Jeremy
Your stuff can be replaced. Your life

00:55:58.38
Keith
The U.S. government does not ah put put out an evacuation requirement if it is not absolutely necessary because millions of dollars are wasted. People could get killed.

00:56:09.11
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:56:09.19
Keith
It's a dangerous thing to evacuate large cities. They don't say it if they don't mean it.

00:56:14.05
Jeremy
Yeah. so I always tell people, I mean,

00:56:19.87
Jeremy
you choose where you live. Sometimes you don't, but you choose generally where you live.

00:56:24.01
Keith
Yeah.

00:56:24.35
Jeremy
If you choose to live in that particular area, knowing how much danger could potentially hit, you need to be prepared to leave that area. um And you need to have a plan because your life and your family's life cannot be replaced.

00:56:34.59
Keith
Thank you.

00:56:39.29
Jeremy
your stuff can be replaced. And if you are um extremely concerned about your stuff, then maybe think about moving. I don't know, man. i just i I personally wouldn't want to do it. And we already here and North Carolina have, you know, our we have the literally two and a half to three hours, we have the ocean.

00:57:02.59
Jeremy
Two and a half, three hours, we have the mountains.

00:57:04.75
Keith
yeah Yeah, but don't you but don't you have ah the Cape Fear River that comes through?

00:57:09.01
Jeremy
Yeah. And the Cape Fear is gigantic.

00:57:12.04
Keith
And it's connected to the ocean.

00:57:12.11
Jeremy
um

00:57:13.16
Keith
So if if that side gets hit with the tsunami, the Cape Fear River is going to go up.

00:57:17.62
Jeremy
Oh yeah. Big time. But the thing about the Cape Fear is it's literally connected to every tributary and small river around here as well.

00:57:25.45
Keith
Right, right.

00:57:26.40
Jeremy
So, I mean,

00:57:27.23
Keith
That's what makes your your area so nice to live in.

00:57:30.44
Jeremy
It's, it's well, yes and no. Yes. You know, it's great for people who enjoy water sports, boating, fishing, kayaking, like we do.

00:57:38.01
Keith
Right.

00:57:39.71
Jeremy
um Know if you're looking for land. Know if you are looking for certain features.

00:57:43.97
Keith
Right, right, right.

00:57:47.82
Jeremy
um We have a big, big problem with water saturation in the ground. um And, you know, it's, It's kind of hard to find land now that doesn't have a water issue.

00:58:01.81
Jeremy
And we've talked about all that before, but, you know, we were just at the beach. Um, and i you know, i didn't think about a tsunami at the beach, but I thought, you know, just standing there in a hotel room, kind of looking out when we got in, um, the waves had a lot of chop and I was looking at the sand, you know, floating around in the water and it was kind of swirling.

00:58:25.44
Jeremy
My daughter wanted to go out there immediately. And I was like, I don't know if I want you in the water right now because

00:58:30.24
Keith
Well, it we the east East Coast, man, a lot of those areas can get some bad rip currents.

00:58:34.72
Jeremy
Yeah, and that's exactly what I told her. I was like, I can see sand. It looks like rip currents are kind of high. I would rather check the levels first. You can go down to the pool. Go do the pool. was like, but i I don't know if I want you in the water right now.

00:58:48.11
Jeremy
um But there was also a storm cooking you know out there. You could see it in the distance.

00:58:52.38
Keith
Mm-hmm.

00:58:54.72
Jeremy
But man, as those waves were super choppy. um And you know eventually the rain did come in and we did have a storm and then that night. And then we got up the next morning.

00:59:07.47
Jeremy
you know the ah just looked like glass out there. But that only lasted a very short amount of time. And when I was looking out further in the day, the tide was so far out.

00:59:22.39
Jeremy
I mean, people were sitting on a, like little kids were playing on a sandbar and it looked like they were, I don't know, it from where i from my vantage point, it literally looked like 150 to 200 meters.

00:59:35.39
Jeremy
you know, in the water.

00:59:36.90
Keith
Yeah, in the water, yeah.

00:59:37.61
Jeremy
And I was like, that's impossible. There's no way. And then I waded out there and the fricking tide was so far out that these little children were out there playing in the sand where, you know, a few hours earlier was nothing but water.

00:59:52.98
Jeremy
And that always freaks me out. But I also, i have a problem with water that I can't see through. And I also, when I was a kid, almost died from rip currents. So,

01:00:04.16
Keith
My dad drowned on a, and and they brought it back to life.

01:00:04.53
Jeremy
so

01:00:07.96
Keith
He drowned on in that exact same situation. They were all out in the East Coast or on the out in the out on the sandbar playing and having fun and all that.

01:00:10.80
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:00:14.42
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:00:15.66
Keith
And the tide came in so fast, they couldn't get everybody out fast enough. And he got washed up into it and drowned.

01:00:22.68
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:00:22.77
Keith
And they pulled him up on shore and they pumped him out and they... Brought it back to life and everything. But yeah it happens all the time.

01:00:28.90
Jeremy
yeah

01:00:29.32
Keith
If you live on a coastal area, the ocean needs to be part of your preps. You've got to be thinking about the ocean.

01:00:36.04
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah, it is no joke. And again, nature is unforgiving. um When I was a little kid up in New York, Long Island, Um, we went out to Jones beach and Jones beach is famous for very, very terrible rip currents.

01:00:52.48
Jeremy
And, um, I'm out there playing, I'm doing my thing. ah got pulled into a wave, the wave hit, you know, got me in the wave and it hit sand, pulled me right back out.

01:01:03.46
Jeremy
How it, and I was just caught up in a continuous wave one after another,

01:01:09.77
Keith
It's terrifying. Yep.

01:01:10.87
Jeremy
Getting hit. And the next thing I know, my grandmother, who was all of like four, eight, four, nine, maybe just tiny little Puerto Rican woman had swam out there and actually got me and pulled me out of the waves.

01:01:26.00
Jeremy
And I didn't know this, but when she was much younger, she was a very accomplished swimmer.

01:01:26.21
Keith
Wow.

01:01:32.43
Jeremy
Um, but it, uh, yeah, that could have, that could have been my moment, man. This, when it, that wave took me, literally smashed me into, ah into the beach part and then pulled me right back out.

01:01:37.57
Keith
hmm.

01:01:45.53
Jeremy
And it was just this continuous, like slamming into the ground and getting pulled back out. It was bad, man.

01:01:52.74
Keith
Well, I'm not one of the 200 million that live on the coast. I live in the woods, but that in itself, I live in in the middle, right in the middle of a tinderbox.

01:02:00.83
Jeremy
Mm-hmm.

01:02:01.12
Keith
And it's just the same as a tsunami or a flood zone, a fire hazard zone. And anytime we, smoked this morning, I was out early, early and the in the garden.

01:02:12.53
Keith
Sun had just come up and I was out there working in the garden and I can smell forest fire. smelled smoke. I knew it wasn't coming from us because we weren't burning anything.

01:02:17.93
Jeremy
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

01:02:20.75
Keith
And you immediately go into, okay, I need to find out what that is, where direction is coming from. You just start thinking about it. You don't blow it off. And that's when you got to remember where your three-day packs are.

01:02:31.82
Keith
Those kits that are designed for you to get out there, get away from your area, and be able to survive for three days if need be. You can always go back home three hours later. It doesn't mean you're going to be out there for 72 hours.

01:02:43.45
Keith
But knowing where those kits are and that they have the water and the food and the different things you need for 72 hours, that's a great idea. If you live in a place that has, you know, fire prone, flood prone, tsunami prone, these types of things, those people on the on the ah West Coast still you said is ongoing.

01:03:01.42
Keith
ah those people only had hours from when that earthquake hit to get their shit together and figure out what they were going to do because it could have been really, really bad.

01:03:04.36
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:03:12.74
Keith
Luckily it wasn't, but it could have been very bad for the, for the West coast.

01:03:13.81
Jeremy
yeah

01:03:17.00
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:03:17.78
Keith
And 8.8 is no joke.

01:03:17.99
Jeremy
Yeah. yeah yeah And and the the great thing, I won't say great, not for Russia, but because of where it took place, you know, Hawaii had time to react.

01:03:31.00
Jeremy
Alaska, not so much. the rest of the West Coast, they had time to actually like react. Because Alaska and Russia, i mean, you may as well be able to spit across the ocean and hit the other.

01:03:42.11
Keith
Oh, yeah. Yeah. there Most people don't forget, probably don't know, but forget at least that Russia and United States basically meet. we We basically, we have two islands.

01:03:52.58
Keith
One is theirs and one is ours. It's right there, 30 miles away from each other.

01:03:53.93
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and there used to be a land bridge that connected the two.

01:04:00.16
Keith
Used to be. Yep.

01:04:00.96
Jeremy
Yeah. I mean, technically, I guess it's still there, but there's a reason why Inuits and Mongolians look exactly the same and share the same DNA.

01:04:04.89
Keith
Yep.

01:04:10.38
Jeremy
So,

01:04:11.19
Keith
This is true. And we don't have time for that, though.

01:04:13.81
Jeremy
oh man.

01:04:15.30
Keith
It's a whole other ballgame. So, yeah, get your shit together and final words.

01:04:21.88
Jeremy
Have a plan, rehearse the plan and pay attention, pay attention, pay attention, pay attention. Life is not always, you know, wonderful. You have to pay attention to the signs.

Keith
My Prepper Brothers and Sisters, here's the truth, plain and brutal. The coast doesn't care how long you've lived there. It doesn't care about your mortgage, your family photos on the wall, or the memories buried in the sand.

05:36.56
Keith
When the water comes, it comes fast and it comes hard. But here's the part they don't tell you. Preparedness isn't fear, it's freedom. It's the freedom to stay sharp, to stay mobile, to stay alive.

05:51.20
Keith
You can't stop a tsunami. You can't hold back the surge, but you can outthink it. You can outpace it. You can outlast it. Coastal living doesn't have to be a death sentence.

06:03.28
Keith
With the right mindset, the right gear, and the right plan, you don't have to be a victim. You become a survivor, a leader, a kind of person, the kind of person others look to when everything else falls apart.

06:17.67
Keith
Stay happy. Stay Stay prepped, stay happy, stay salty. Thanks for listening, and good night.
