Keith
Jell-O salad. It's not like ambrosia, is it?

00:00:02.45
Jeremy
Jell-O salad. it's I think it's much better. um

00:00:06.50
Keith
Okay.

00:00:07.66
Jeremy
It's literally just green jell-o. It's lime jell-o, cottage cheese, Cool Whip, crushed pineapple, and a nut of your preference. I like pecans. And typically, you put the cottage cheese in first, and then you put the jell-o in to kind of let the jell-o sort of melt into it you know and do jell-o things.

00:00:26.10
Jeremy
um I had my back turned. I'm not even kidding, like two and a half to three minutes maximum. And I came back and I went to go stir around and I looked and half of the volume just of the cottage cheese with the jello in it was gone.

00:00:43.99
Keith
wait on the stove.

00:00:45.46
Jeremy
Well, it was just sitting on there in a bowl. I pushed it way back against the corner.

00:00:49.53
Keith
Oh, like he like a dog got up on the counter.

00:00:52.02
Jeremy
Yes. And the first thing I noticed was a couple of pieces of cottage cheese on the floor. And I noticed a partial paw print. And I went down and I had the... Yeah, I had the bowl in my hand.

00:01:02.73
Keith
It's like a crime scene. Yeah.

00:01:04.34
Jeremy
it was.

00:01:04.70
Buddy
the Bumpus' dogs.

00:01:06.49
Jeremy
i had i had the bowl in my hand.

00:01:06.48
Buddy
Bumpus' sons of bitches.

00:01:08.52
Jeremy
I walked down in the den. And all of a sudden, he puts his ears like all the way back. And I walked up to him and I lifted up his head. And up underneath his chin was nothing but just green green stuff up underneath his chin.

00:01:21.28
Jeremy
i was... Oh, man.

00:01:23.05
Keith
You

00:01:23.62
Jeremy
Missy started laughing her ass off. I was... So infuriated, just absolutely infuriated.

00:01:30.62
Keith
and got to go back to the store.

00:01:30.74
Jeremy
Cause I had to go to the store.

00:01:32.25
Keith
ah

00:01:32.60
Jeremy
I had to go to the store and I do not like going back to the store for something I just did. oh man. Okay. And, um, yeah, I was just, uh, finishing up boiling potatoes. I got butter sitting on them right now and I spatchcocked our Turkey.

00:01:51.59
Jeremy
don't know if you know what that is.

00:01:53.08
Keith
Nope, but you should since it is since this is Thanksgiving tomorrow, i think you should and we're going to release this on Thanksgiving, go ahead and let us know what that is.

00:01:53.43
Buddy
Yep.

00:01:53.70
Jeremy
Spatchcocking.

00:02:00.70
Jeremy
Yeah, so spatchcocking is... um

00:02:03.11
Keith
It's a really bad word, by the way, but go ahead.

00:02:05.43
Jeremy
I know it is. Like, who comes up with the words that make delicious foods? You know, like... i can imagine the first settlers...

00:02:12.98
Keith
At least it didn't least it didn't call Smashcock, but that's right, go ahead.

00:02:15.26
Jeremy
Right. It'd be called a Dirty Bird Burger or something weird.

00:02:20.59
Keith
Oh, man.

00:02:21.44
Buddy
Well, if you say it with the list, it could be smash card.

00:02:21.62
Jeremy
So... so Yeah, um well, spatchcocking is when you remove the spine from the bird and you flip it back over and you press down to flatten it out.

00:02:25.02
Buddy
left

00:02:33.69
Jeremy
So that's what were I'm doing this year.

00:02:34.58
Keith
Oh, yeah, yeah. I saw somebody do that on on on some video I watched this week.

00:02:38.40
Jeremy
Yep.

00:02:39.38
Keith
Yeah, they just flattened the whole thing out, and then they then they put it on a grill.

00:02:39.80
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:02:42.23
Keith
How'd you cook in it?

00:02:44.01
Jeremy
I'm not going to grill it. um I am going to... I'm getting ready to... soon as we're done, I'm going to... I'm going to flatten it out or finish flattening it out. Cause you basically cut out its spine and send it to the chiropractor.

00:02:56.47
Jeremy
And then, um, I got to lift up all the skin and then I'm going to put pads of butter up underneath that. And then I'm going to oil the outside, season it, and then I'm going to inject it and let it rest overnight. And then I also have to go ahead and marinate some deer backstrap.

00:03:12.54
Jeremy
And then, uh, I'm going to, press that down. um and then I'm going to put a filling inside, roll it up like a, uh, what what he is it? A filet mignon and a filet mignon, but something, um, put some string around it. I'm going take it out to the grill and I'm to put it on a side with no heat and then slow, slow cook it and then, uh, serve that up for dinner with the Turkey.

00:03:39.22
Jeremy
So, Hmm.

00:03:39.26
Buddy
What time will it be ready?

00:03:41.88
Jeremy
I actually have no idea. what time we're supposed to eat. I usually on Thanksgiving day, I'm up by like five, five 30. So, cause I, I slow cook the Turkey. I, I slowly bring it up. So I usually start out at about 200 to two 25, um, for three hours.

00:04:01.21
Jeremy
And then while,

00:04:01.49
Buddy
Well, I'm about 22 hours away, so...

00:04:03.58
Jeremy
yeah

00:04:06.01
Buddy
think You think have it ready by the time I get there?

00:04:06.46
Jeremy
yeah if if you try real hard, you might make it. That's not 22 hours. There's no way.

00:04:13.78
Buddy
Uh, yeah, maybe 20.

00:04:14.71
Jeremy
No. I mean...

00:04:18.22
Buddy
I drive slow.

00:04:19.22
Jeremy
oh okay, well that makes sense. I usually drive slow, you know, unless I need to not drive slow. i have People...

00:04:25.52
Keith
Yeah, I think that sounds about right from Oklahoma.

00:04:25.82
Buddy
Uh,

00:04:28.08
Keith
Yeah.

00:04:29.56
Buddy
yeah, I took, when it when I went to Virginia beach, it it was like 20, 21 or 22 hours, but man, that Google maps took me crazy, crazy places.

00:04:29.62
Jeremy
Well...

00:04:30.12
Keith
Yeah.

00:04:34.14
Keith
Yeah.

00:04:39.73
Buddy
So don't know.

00:04:40.29
Jeremy
Oh, yeah, sometimes it does.

00:04:41.00
Keith
Now, was that 22 hours of driving or does that also stay time overnight?

00:04:47.54
Buddy
Well, I drove to, was it Knoxville? I think I drove to Knoxville and stayed the night and then drove the rest of the way So I think it was like 20, yeah, was like 22 because it was 12 the first day and then about 10 the next.

00:04:55.66
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah.

00:05:02.14
Buddy
So

00:05:02.50
Keith
Oh, yeah, so it doesn't include it. Or doesn't include it, yeah. That's about right.

00:05:06.37
Jeremy
All

00:05:07.25
Keith
I've stayed in Knoxville before a few times. It's not a great city, but hey what are going to

00:05:11.00
Buddy
yeah, you know, good place to lay my head and rest.

00:05:12.98
Keith
This is what it is. Yeah.

00:05:16.81
Jeremy
right. So what are we doing?

00:05:19.44
Keith
don't know, y'all tell me.

00:05:21.24
Jeremy
Well, I think we're talking about tomorrow and how, uh, I'm going to completely destroy all of my...

00:05:26.69
Keith
You mean today?

00:05:29.14
Jeremy
Well, today. Yes, today.

00:05:30.23
Keith
Thank you. There you go.

00:05:31.86
Jeremy
yeah Thanksgiving Day.

00:05:34.26
Keith
Yeah, Thanksgiving Day.

00:05:34.36
Jeremy
The day that I am going to obliterate any ideations of... a diet and caloric intake. So I'm going to I'm going to absolutely destroy my stomach tomorrow.

00:05:55.89
Buddy
Well, in my training regimen and my diet, I call it fat loading. So now we got a

00:06:00.06
Jeremy
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. See, people think that I have an outrageous appetite and I overeat all year, but that's not the case. I'm actually training for Thanksgiving Day. That's what I'm doing.

00:06:10.96
Jeremy
it's ah It's a long process. It takes about a year and i do it every single year.

00:06:17.94
Buddy
You're the Joey Chestnut of Thanksgiving turkey. Okay.

00:06:20.56
Jeremy
Oh, my gosh. Yeah. But yeah, so tomorrow we're not even going to have that many people, but I'm all about the leftovers. So we're going to have a, we're going to have a, an absolute, we're going a ton of leftovers.

00:06:28.69
Buddy
Oh yeah, yeah.

00:06:29.25
Keith
Oh yeah, that's that's right.

00:06:29.41
Buddy
Ooh.

00:06:34.01
Jeremy
So like with the, our potatoes, I'm going to have that for spets or a spade soul. I'm going to have, I'm going to try to make, learn how to make gnocchi.

00:06:44.79
Jeremy
i definitely want to learn how to do that. Yeah. Cause I love gnocchi. And then a lot of the, any of the bird, I'm going to take part of it and I'm going set it aside to make dog food. But the other part, we usually cook down the carcass and we make a turkey soup and we eat on that for several days.

00:07:02.71
Buddy
Man, yeah, I figure I'm good until about maybe Wednesday, Thursday next week.

00:07:03.32
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:07:06.13
Buddy
I should have enough to sustain.

00:07:08.70
Keith
Turkey soup.

00:07:09.06
Buddy
Yeah.

00:07:10.07
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:07:10.39
Buddy
Yeah.

00:07:10.65
Jeremy
Yeah. Um, you get, uh, well, I mean, yes, because we we get the Hawaiian rolls.

00:07:12.14
Buddy
Don't forget the Thanksgiving sandwiches, man.

00:07:18.42
Buddy
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:07:18.58
Jeremy
Um, And for some reason for turkey sandwiches, and I don't know why, i actually prefer the white meat for sandwiches. But what we end up doing is we take the entire carcass that's left.

00:07:30.74
Jeremy
We put it in ah our biggest pot and we just slow simmer it most of the day, strip it down. And then we cook that with Uncle Ben's wild season rice, usually like one or two packets of that. And man, it just makes this incredible soup. It's just so good.

00:07:49.18
Jeremy
So freaking good.

00:07:50.49
Buddy
So for an easy drive, if I do split it up, it'll be ready for me the next day, right? Like a Friday or so?

00:07:54.90
Jeremy
Possibly.

00:07:55.99
Buddy
Okay.

00:07:56.35
Jeremy
Possibly.

00:07:56.45
Buddy
All right.

00:07:57.18
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah.

00:07:57.98
Keith
So I'm imagining you're having a ah big family thing. You get all kinds of family there.

00:08:02.78
Jeremy
Yeah, but we're actually not going to have that many people. The kids, you know, our our adult daughter that's here, ah her husband's entire family is here, and they kind of have their own little, you know, tribe-ish thing going. So they'll spend the majority of the day there, and then they'll hit us up in the evening,

00:08:22.46
Jeremy
um And we'll play cards. So most everybody will be please be here after we actually eat the main meal and to just to play cards and you know snack.

00:08:33.21
Jeremy
so cause yeah

00:08:34.42
Keith
who will be actually eating the meal that you guys are going to be sitting down to with? How many people?

00:08:38.46
Jeremy
me ah Let's see. for Maybe six or seven. Maybe eight maximum.

00:08:44.57
Keith
Oh, okay. That's good.

00:08:45.30
Jeremy
Yeah. So...

00:08:46.57
Keith
About you, buddy.

00:08:48.54
Buddy
Yeah, we had ah about 12 to 16 people coming.

00:08:51.43
Keith
Wow.

00:08:51.98
Buddy
Everybody's everybody's got you know family, and they got to go to the you know with the split family. you know The in-laws, they got to go to theirs, and then they got to go to their dad's house, and their mom and dad's divorce.

00:09:03.35
Keith
Right, right.

00:09:05.02
Buddy
So it's hard to get everybody together. And I'm just talking about you know my girlfriend's side. I'm not even talking about my side. So, yeah, it...

00:09:13.26
Keith
you You never actually talk about your side.

00:09:15.61
Buddy
i Because... There's reasons.

00:09:18.20
Jeremy
yeah

00:09:19.19
Buddy
hu and

00:09:22.01
Jeremy
If it's something that we have to sign, do we have to sign an NDA?

00:09:22.04
Buddy
I would start getting mad.

00:09:25.69
Jeremy
I'm not, i don't want to know.

00:09:27.30
Buddy
No, they would sue me for slander because I would just get all pissed off talking about them.

00:09:27.92
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:09:31.64
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:09:31.67
Buddy
No, mean, we're mending our relationship. but Yeah, we just don't break bread.

00:09:35.83
Jeremy
yeah

00:09:38.97
Jeremy
Yeah. Well, our our house is kind of weird because for us, every day is Thanksgiving.

00:09:39.26
Buddy
Just put it like that.

00:09:44.38
Jeremy
And the the extra meal part is kind of just, you know, it's a Benny, really. I mean, and I kind of think that that's one of the things like I was listening to.

00:09:55.22
Jeremy
and so it was a rather a long history of it, but the actual first Thanksgiving, like how it really, really went down. It's not like the pictures that you see. um you know, the Puritans and or the first settlers and wearing that black dress with the white, you know, hair covering and all that. And they look very clean. That was not the case.

00:10:14.42
Jeremy
The reality.

00:10:14.75
Buddy
So it's not like the SNL skit.

00:10:16.82
Jeremy
no no. So the reality of it is, is that um they the the majority of the food was actually brought in by the Indians that joined them.

00:10:27.58
Jeremy
um And the Indians are actually what helped them survive because most of them did not survive. Like that first winter that they were there, they did not survive.

00:10:36.66
Keith
No, I imagine the Indians were, they felt really bad for these people that had no idea what the hell the hell they were doing.

00:10:40.60
Jeremy
Yeah. Probably. I mean, I i would imagine so. Um, but the majority of the meal that was brought in was from the Indians, but it also was not just a day.

00:10:52.61
Jeremy
It was actually like two to three days. It was.

00:10:55.76
Keith
Yeah, that's what heard. I heard her was like over like a week's worth of time almost.

00:10:57.14
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. So like in a lot of different places in Europe, you know, they have these, especially around religious holidays, they, you know, like it's a period of time that they do, you know, these big meals and everybody kind of comes together and all these different things.

00:11:03.82
Buddy
Thank

00:11:14.58
Jeremy
but the But the food ah was also not traditional. You know they probably had a turkey because they, you know, ran around wild. But they had geese, they had fish, mussels, ah you know, because it was right by the ocean.

00:11:30.42
Jeremy
So they had all kinds of sea life, plus whatever else was, you know, deer and, you know, all kinds of food. And it lasted several days, but the the settlers by that time, they looked horrid and raggedy.

00:11:45.40
Jeremy
and they were suffering and they were not clean and they were not, you know, prettied up and all those things. They were, they were in a bad shape. and the fact that they lived through it is why they had this desire to basically go into a time of Thanksgiving, ah in order to, you know, thank God that they had lived.

00:12:05.78
Jeremy
Um, but they would do sports. They would wrestle, they would, you know, race, they would play. And I cannot remember the name of it, but um I believe the Algonquins sort of came up with it first.

00:12:17.36
Jeremy
It was ah it was like field hockey. um It almost looked like, yeah, but it was super hardcore, like brutal.

00:12:20.63
Buddy
Yeah, it's like lacrosse, I think, is what... but look

00:12:25.72
Jeremy
Like they beat the crap out of each other with these sticks, but um yeah, they had all kinds of sports going on and, you know, they cook the food and, I think that that is more genuine than almost kind of like what we have now, because now there's everything is commercialized.

00:12:44.63
Jeremy
um I think that Thanksgiving kind of meals should be a regular thing. And if you think about it, when we were kids, like going back big meals, big family meals used to be like a big thing, you know, like, Everybody coming together and everybody brought something and there was this just huge meal and everybody sat around and they talked and the kids went off to play. We don't really do that anymore.

00:13:10.20
Buddy
Yeah, it's a lost.

00:13:10.42
Jeremy
You know? It is.

00:13:12.92
Buddy
I hate it because that's my favorite memories growing up, you know.

00:13:15.99
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:13:17.02
Buddy
Going to grandma's house or going to an aunt or uncle's house and, you know, the whole plan and the food and everybody got to take, you know, the food with them. And, you know, there's certain ants that would have a signature dish or a signature dessert.

00:13:27.83
Jeremy
yeah

00:13:31.61
Jeremy
Yeah, yeah.

00:13:32.60
Buddy
Usually you brought a dish and a dessert with you and, you know. you're just like, Oh, you know, gotta have aunt so-and-so's, you know, cake or whatever, you know?

00:13:41.30
Jeremy
Right.

00:13:41.42
Buddy
So, but yeah, you're right, man. I watched a podcast the other day and they talked about how Thanksgiving, so you know, same must've been something similar what you saw, but they said the whole Thanksgiving thing was the second year they had it, they invited the Indians because it basically the first year wasn't really organized as what what the way this guy explained it, that,

00:14:04.57
Buddy
they brought the Indians in to say thanks to them for basically saving their ass. And, and the whole Thanksgiving was, you know, we thank you, but we're, we're thankful for you, but we're also thankful for God for keeping us alive.

00:14:18.81
Buddy
And, and at that time they were exchanging, you know, trying to spread the gospel to the, to the Indians. And so it was more of, like you said, a feast that lasted a week.

00:14:29.99
Buddy
And it was like, almost like a you know, a modern day revival or something, you know?

00:14:34.04
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah.

00:14:35.17
Buddy
So.

00:14:36.12
Jeremy
Yeah. I can, i can um imagine like I, if I had to um picture what that was like, I think I probably would have really enjoyed it. Like being able to watch, you know, how, um how all of that kind of went down.

00:14:53.59
Jeremy
um And it was the Wampanoag tribe um that actually took part in that, you know, first Thanksgiving, but Again, it's um i think it's ah it's a lost ah tradition, i think like the real tradition behind it.

00:15:10.71
Jeremy
um

00:15:10.93
Buddy
Yeah.

00:15:11.83
Jeremy
And it kind of goes in like for preppers, for instance. um you know we We kind of celebrate you know being able to do stuff in order to, i guess, provide for our security in the future as if if something were to happen.

00:15:28.44
Jeremy
Now take that if something were significant to happen and you're able to eat and provide for your family, I'm telling you Thanksgiving better be every damn day because, you know, just being able to like, for instance, my, my, one of my daughters last night took a deer. Um, my, my, grandnephew the other day got his very first deer.

00:15:50.78
Jeremy
You know, we're we've we're celebrating each person being able to to harvest an animal and we, you know, sharing the meat and all these different things. Now, take a family or just a group of people who do not know how to do that yet or are just struggling to do it.

00:16:07.54
Jeremy
I mean, imagine if another group came in and said, hey, we just killed this deer. Let's eat. Can you imagine how... how not only thankful, but just outrageously emotional that event would be. You know what i mean?

00:16:25.30
Jeremy
Like,

00:16:25.40
Buddy
It sounds like that's the way, you know, I imagine that's the way it was like, hey, I killed a deer, we can eat, you know, we haven't really, you know, filled our bellies and, you know, a month now or something or weeks or, you know, whatever.

00:16:31.16
Jeremy
oh man.

00:16:36.18
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:16:37.47
Buddy
So, yeah, i can just imagine.

00:16:38.71
Jeremy
Yeah. i sometimes, like I told my mom this, I was like, sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong century. You know, like the the the the the the killing of an animal, not just to kill it, but to actually utilize every portion of that animal that you possibly can um to to really kind of like – to so It wasn't just survival, but it was like, I'm going to use this skin to keep me warm.

00:17:06.55
Jeremy
I'm going to use this thing here to, you know, do this. I'm going to eat this meat, you know, just, I mean, how incredible yeah but but how incredible of a feeling would it be to come in and say, I did this to provide for the entirety of our family.

00:17:12.66
Buddy
Yeah. Use the whole animal.

00:17:24.06
Jeremy
Like, that's huge, man.

00:17:26.08
Buddy
Well, man, ah you you got me. You got me going, Jeremy.

00:17:29.94
Jeremy
yeah

00:17:29.96
Buddy
Now, I had a friend, a friend was out hunting public lands and they came out, you know, out of the field. They didn't get anything. And they saw a guy that was Coming out of the woods and they're like, hey, you know, hey, did you get anything? i yeah Yeah, yeah, I got the back straps right here.

00:17:48.70
Buddy
Shot a deer, shot a buck, actually, and only took the back straps.

00:17:53.59
Jeremy
my gosh Oh my gosh

00:17:53.59
Buddy
And i'm like, where's the rest of it? You need help with, you know, Brent? And he goes, nah, I'm just going to the back straps. They're like, are you kidding me? you see He goes, yeah, that's all I eat back straps. I'm eating the rest of that shit.

00:18:04.85
Buddy
And they're like, where's deer? And he goes, you can follow my trail back there. And it's just, you know, it's not too far back. And so they went and took the rest of it.

00:18:15.69
Buddy
and You know, the guy, that's all he, you know, who, um it pisses me off because that

00:18:19.08
Jeremy
That's criminal.

00:18:20.60
Keith
Yeah, how how is that not illegal?

00:18:23.12
Jeremy
It's not. It's not illegal.

00:18:24.09
Buddy
it's not, um,

00:18:26.00
Jeremy
It's not. As long as he harvested the animal legally and reported it correctly, technically, he didn't do anything wrong. However, that is...

00:18:33.96
Keith
Hmm.

00:18:36.63
Jeremy
in my opinion, horseshit, because that is completely unethical. I mean, and if it was a buck, if it was a solid good buck, I mean, dude, golly.

00:18:51.67
Buddy
It was a young buck, he said. And he goes, man, we went ahead and took the antlers, but you know maybe just for you know calling them in or whatever. But he said it it just made him sick to have to do that.

00:19:03.04
Keith
Thank you.

00:19:03.92
Jeremy
That's crazy.

00:19:05.13
Buddy
But he goes, at least we got the meat. brought it in. He said, you know, so it'll be, it'll be taken care of and and they'll, they'll harvest the, you know, the organs and stuff too.

00:19:15.70
Buddy
And, you know, they either use them or they feed them to their dogs. So,

00:19:20.34
Jeremy
Yeah. Now that, that process itself, um, I know a lot of people who actually do take the organs and like, basically all they're doing is boil it down and then they shred it, you know, they put it, put it through the the grinder or the shredder and then just cook it until it's dry.

00:19:36.98
Jeremy
i know people who do that, but, um, man, that's, that's a lot of work. That's a lot of, I don't know if you've ever been around chitlins when they're being cooked, not pleasant.

00:19:47.80
Buddy
Oh yeah.

00:19:48.54
Jeremy
It's not pleasant.

00:19:49.07
Keith
Nasty.

00:19:50.17
Jeremy
Yeah. Or like.

00:19:51.09
Buddy
Well, just the smell liver cooking.

00:19:52.02
Keith
like the whole Like the whole house smells like actual shit.

00:19:55.26
Jeremy
Yes, it smells like ass. like or I don't know if you've ever had manudo or mandongo, but it's at one is cow, one is pig.

00:20:00.22
Buddy
Yeah.

00:20:02.98
Jeremy
but it i mean who oh gosh I love the end product. Getting there, not for me. I'm not going to do it. Because I know for every for every deer I kill, I always pull the innards. I always look at the heart. I always look at the liver. I open up the stomach to see what they've been eating.

00:20:23.19
Jeremy
Make sure that there's no you know infiltration of gastric juices and anything. Cause I want to know, make sure that the deer is healthy, but you know, that's just a lot of, that's a lot of work that I don't, I'm sorry ancestors, but I'm not willing to do.

00:20:37.83
Jeremy
I mean, I love my dogs, but there's other scrap meat that I'm going to be cutting off anyways.

00:20:38.37
Keith
Mm-hmm.

00:20:42.95
Jeremy
That's for them. You know, that's that process of of me butchering and setting a aside scrap that's for the dogs.

00:20:49.56
Buddy
Yeah, but could you do it if you if you had to?

00:20:52.18
Jeremy
If I had to, yes.

00:20:53.43
Buddy
Okay.

00:20:53.62
Jeremy
Yes. Now, when i when i came to my grand yeah when I came to my grandfather, my great-grandfather, if I did not, believe me, there were hands thrown.

00:20:54.07
Buddy
And that's that's the skill part. Yeah, the skill part.

00:21:02.90
Jeremy
i get you know that's I do know how to do it. It's just not the most awesome thing in the in the world. i'm not don't want to participate. so But yeah. um

00:21:14.59
Keith
Well, as a prepper survivalist, there are always going to be ah pets in our lives that can eat that stuff.

00:21:20.54
Jeremy
Oh, yeah.

00:21:21.53
Keith
So, you you know, we would it would not go to waste in a in an SHGFs type of a situation.

00:21:21.62
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:21:27.26
Jeremy
Yeah, and I mean, that's it's kind of like with squirrels, you know, and i and i I took a video, I think it was, was it last year or maybe this spring?

00:21:29.63
Buddy
Thank

00:21:33.50
Jeremy
I can't remember. Anytime I kill a squirrel, i lay it out, and the first thing I do is I actually cut off its its feet, and I feed that to the dogs, and then I just make a small incision, ah clean out the insides, and then I just take basically like a sock.

00:21:48.31
Jeremy
It's like pulling a sock off of your foot, and that's how I clean the squirrel. That's super simple, but...

00:21:54.26
Keith
what's the What's the deal with with bones and dogs? I mean, can't can they have bones? I mean, what what's like what can you feed a dog?

00:21:59.80
Jeremy
they can have They can have raw, you can you can give them raw bones. The problem with, especially with like chicken bones, for instance, because a lot of birds, their bones are very, very light and they're not quite like hollow, hollow, but they're almost hollow. And when you're cooked down specifically chicken and turkey bones, they become extremely brittle and sharp.

00:22:20.44
Jeremy
So um you you can give them raw bone. That's not a problem. um Not to puppies, though, but to older adult dogs, you know, like have fully developed teeth.

00:22:32.15
Jeremy
But once you cook a bird.

00:22:33.50
Keith
Like a bone from a steak or a bone from ah from a pork. You can just give them right to them. Like not not cooked, but just raw.

00:22:37.97
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:22:40.30
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. Some people I do not give my dogs bones after they've been cooked. But what I will do um like that, I think I sent you a picture of that shoulder bone that was sitting in the pot.

00:22:51.42
Jeremy
Once that was done rendering down, I set the liquid aside, but I had the, um, uh, uh, there was like scrap pieces on the bone itself. So what I did is I actually took a knife and I took the cartilage part off and then i cut that into little pieces and let them have that. Cause it's like, it's chewy, but i hold onto the bone and I let them each have a turn, you know, not gnawing at the meat that was stuck on the bone. So, um,

00:23:20.15
Jeremy
course, they're greedy little bastards, and one of them got my thumb. but

00:23:22.78
Keith
See, because I've always done the opposite. I've always done the cooked bones. i mean I'm done eating a T-bone. i just give him the whole T-bone. But and i didn't I didn't know that. and then Rhonda was like you're not supposed to give him bones. you know And I'm like, I didn't know that.

00:23:32.82
Jeremy
Yeah, raw bones are raw bones are fine. And you can you can cook down beef and pork bones. It's just because they're much more dense. Like beef bones and pork bones they are very, very dense compared to bird bones.

00:23:46.19
Jeremy
Bird bones, once you cook them, they become extremely brittle.

00:23:48.76
Keith
They do. They sprint they splinter to pieces, yeah.

00:23:50.74
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. And it's the splintering part that you don't want dogs to consume because they'll just swallow it. And once it goes down in there, if it gets stuck or, you know, pokes them in the trach or gets down in their intestinal tract with those little pieces, it'll cut them all up.

00:24:06.14
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, but yeah, I'm, ah I'm super psyched about Thanksgiving and it's just because of all the different foods. I, I, it's one of my favorite things that, and you know, we kind of do something similar for Christmas.

00:24:25.85
Jeremy
But we're, so we're foodies. Like we love food and trying different kinds of food and doing it different ways. This is going to be the first year that I've done the spatchcocking for the turkey kind of,

00:24:39.19
Jeremy
I won't say nervous, but it's just not what I'm used to. So we'll see how that goes. But it is you're supposed you're supposed to be able to...

00:24:46.94
Keith
Yeah, well, I'm envious of all y'all because y'all are having the whole families over and and all that.

00:24:47.22
Buddy
man, I've done. Where

00:24:49.71
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:24:52.74
Keith
well All we have is just the two of us. I mean, that's just the way it is now because we moved here. You know, it it just is what it is.

00:24:57.08
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:24:57.50
Keith
We don't have any family living in this this state, basically.

00:25:00.44
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:25:01.75
Keith
So, yeah, it's just two of us. But but we don't we don't let it bother us. We've got a whole we got the whole thing going, you know, all the food, whole spread.

00:25:09.18
Jeremy
do

00:25:09.91
Keith
And we're going whole lot of leftovers.

00:25:10.04
Jeremy
you do Did you dispatch your turkey yet?

00:25:14.23
Keith
No, I didn't. um I have been um i have overruled, if that's the right word for it.

00:25:21.52
Jeremy
Mm-hmm.

00:25:22.29
Keith
yeah Well, I've been told that ah ah by my boss that they need to be older. They need to be at least... I've been calling them ah Toms, but actually they're Jakes.

00:25:35.29
Keith
I didn't know that. I didn't know there was another word.

00:25:36.31
Jeremy
Yes.

00:25:37.17
Keith
But a Jake is like a one-year-old than below, and Tom is above that.

00:25:37.83
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:25:41.31
Keith
That's what heard.

00:25:42.94
Jeremy
Well, Toms, you toms are they become Toms when they start to develop their beards um and their spurs.

00:25:43.18
Keith
that's what i heard

00:25:51.13
Jeremy
um You'll start to see their spurs extend and harden. But when you start to see the development of a beard is when they usually cross over into...

00:25:59.93
Keith
Right, right. and That herd was three to five inches. You can start calling them a Tom at that point. Right now ours is only like an inch to two on both of them. So, and they're they're they're about, actually they're not even a year old.

00:26:13.50
Keith
because We just got them, yeah, they're not even a year old yet. So they're they're still Jake's, but they do have, one has a like a one inch beard and the other one you have to kind of move his feathers away to actually find it.

00:26:17.14
Jeremy
Right.

00:26:24.25
Jeremy
Yeah. I think they should come up with like and another word or another name for like the in-between.

00:26:25.34
Keith
So, yeah.

00:26:29.10
Jeremy
you know Like Carl or something ridiculous.

00:26:32.22
Jeremy
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

00:26:34.34
Keith
But I mean, i'm not going to lie to you, dude. that our Our big Tom is big. Like when i i like if I try and pick him up, yeah there is heft to him. This is a very heavy bird.

00:26:42.81
Jeremy
oh yeah Yeah. Well, turkeys are turkeys are unique in the in the like the wild fowl ah family. They're fatty, like super fatty.

00:26:54.71
Jeremy
And geese, surprisingly, are very fatty. um I don't particularly care for goose. um But um i have a former soldier. He posted a video today. Him and his wife, after he got out, they took to homesteading.

00:27:11.03
Jeremy
And they dispatched their turkey last night. and And I really got a kick out of watching it. Primarily because they stopped before they did it and they prayed, you know, saying thanks basically for being able to do this. Right.

00:27:27.86
Jeremy
But he took his bird and he had a five gallon bucket and he just kind of picked it up and he got the the turkey's head in the through the hole.

00:27:39.38
Jeremy
And because the, the way that they turned it up, he was, you know, cause once you do something like with, if you take a Turkey and you kind of get their head in there and just put them in the bucket, they're kind of like, they, they freeze in place. They're like, what in the hell is happening?

00:27:54.52
Jeremy
And they hung up the bucket and put another bucket up underneath there and then went ahead and sanguined him, cut off his head, and drained the bird. And then they went through the process of cleaning it and de-feathering and doing all the the things you need to do.

00:28:09.09
Jeremy
But it was extremely, extremely efficient way that they did it so thought that was pretty cool.

00:28:13.69
Keith
So they put a hole in the bottom of a five gallon bucket and they start. So basically they just made their own Turkey cone.

00:28:19.43
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah.

00:28:20.02
Keith
Okay. We got, we've got, um, uh, we got, we got cones by killing cones. Uh, we've got a Turkey size and a chicken size. Um, we are going to be calling, um, about a half of our flock of guineas on Friday. We have, um, the plucker rented. Um, we got pick it up at 10 o'clock and I've got all the equipment, everything ready to go. um we have way too many guineas.

00:28:44.45
Keith
First of all, they're loud as hell.

00:28:46.79
Jeremy
Mm-hmm.

00:28:47.01
Keith
And we knew that we knew that going in and I can almost deal with it. I can, i can kind of deal with it. Um, But the, and I knew they were, they were going to be bullies. We, we, we heard about that.

00:28:58.34
Keith
We learned about that, but they're unbelievably bullies. I mean, these things will, they'll attack the chickens.

00:29:02.47
Jeremy
Right.

00:29:04.89
Keith
Our chickens are actually laying less late now. I know they're laying less eggs because it's, it's wintertime, shorter hours in the day triggers the, uh, the, the hens to not lay as much. It just happens every year.

00:29:14.71
Jeremy
right

00:29:16.26
Keith
But they're really, really being disturbed. You can see physically that they're being disturbed. They chase the turkeys around and just jump all over them, pecking at them, pulling off feathers, pulling at the waddles and whatever that thing is on their nose, this snoodly noodle or whatever they call that thing.

00:29:35.19
Keith
I mean, the that one big tom I got, he he doesn't have one anymore. It's gone. The one that's above his nose, they've completely ripped it off his face.

00:29:39.96
Jeremy
Oh my gosh.

00:29:43.32
Jeremy
Oh my gosh.

00:29:44.66
Keith
they are They are absolutely brutal.

00:29:44.96
Jeremy
Dude, you got some gangster-ass birds, man.

00:29:47.50
Keith
Yeah, they're gangster. So what we're going do is we're going to be taking all of the males except for two.

00:29:49.69
Jeremy
What the hell?

00:29:55.26
Keith
um I think that's the problem.

00:29:55.61
Jeremy
Uh-huh.

00:29:56.82
Keith
we have when you when you get ah When you get guineas at a ah hatchery, you don't get to che ah you don't get to choose sex. that's They just give them to you straight up, so you get what you get.

00:30:06.23
Jeremy
Oh.

00:30:08.28
Keith
When you do chickens or turkeys, you get to choose the sex.

00:30:11.93
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah.

00:30:12.28
Keith
Now that's not always exactly correct because they're one day old and they're doing their best they can to sex them. And that's usually why they give you one or two extras plus some die. Well, they did give us two extras and we got like,

00:30:20.18
Jeremy
yeah

00:30:22.90
Keith
I don't know, like 13 or 14 males and the rest are females. And they're just unbelievable, man. They just, they'll chase each other around. They'll fight everything they possibly can. So they're at the age, they're at the perfect size to put in the freezer. In some countries, in some places, they are considered a delicacy. You can go to like very high-end restaurants and and Guinea will be on the on the menu at very high dollar.

00:30:45.18
Keith
So they're a good dark meat, uh, very tasty and, uh, it, and you know, very expensive. So we're going to put them in the freezer and that's going to be protein right in the freezer, ready to go.

00:30:51.99
Jeremy
Interesting.

00:30:55.65
Keith
They're, you know they're as big, if not bigger than some of our chickens. So, you know,

00:30:59.35
Jeremy
So you're getting a plucker? I've seen the videos of them. I've just i've never considered doing it.

00:31:05.85
Keith
well, hand plucking sucks, dude. You spend all day hand plucking.

00:31:08.22
Jeremy
well that i How are you doing it, though? like How are you hand plucking? like I know how I do it. But i'm I'm kind of curious. You just start pulling?

00:31:17.78
Keith
Well, you got to pull different areas of the body. You pull with the grain or against the grain depends because if you put, if you pull the wrong what direction, you can actually rip the skin off.

00:31:28.25
Keith
You don't want to do that.

00:31:28.86
Jeremy
Yeah. Now, are you using hot water?

00:31:30.23
Keith
Um, Yeah, so the whole deal is we'll just we'll just ah ah scald the bird. what What we do is we hang it upside down in the thing. We slit its throat with with a knife and it bleeds out.

00:31:41.02
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:31:41.60
Keith
When they hang upside down, their head comes through.

00:31:42.01
Jeremy
Right.

00:31:43.44
Keith
They basically, just like you said, fall asleep. They go into like a trance.

00:31:47.22
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:31:47.24
Keith
They're very calm.

00:31:47.32
Jeremy
Right.

00:31:48.24
Keith
It is the world world known all around the world way of the most humane way is to slit their throat. The blood comes out, they fall asleep, you chop off the head. It's that simple. You know, there's you do it most in most humane way that you possibly can. That's, that's how you want to do it.

00:32:06.87
Jeremy
yeah

00:32:07.38
Keith
Um, So that, yeah, so slip throat, bleeds out, cut the head off. And then when you don't, you, you, uh, skull it for, I think it's like one dunk. It's about four to five seconds. You lift it up out of the water, redunk it again for du another four or five seconds. You pull it out, throw it in the, uh, plucker, which is a machine that plucks it for you.

00:32:25.46
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:32:25.50
Keith
You ever seen a plucker?

00:32:26.62
Jeremy
Oh yeah. I've just never used one.

00:32:27.38
Keith
Yeah.

00:32:29.08
Jeremy
Cause I know like I, what I do is I get the water going.

00:32:29.24
Keith
Right.

00:32:32.66
Jeremy
um I do a dunk, dunk, dunk dunk and dunk, like let it get a good wet, but like quick, you know, like cause cause a lot of birds, you know, they're, they're, they're, um, their feathers are hydrophobic.

00:32:37.07
Keith
Ooh, five dunks. oh Oh, okay. I gotcha. gotcha. Yeah.

00:32:45.22
Jeremy
So you gotta to get the water worked in there and like kind of get that, that skin warmed up good and loose. And then you just start pulling and then it'll cool off.

00:32:51.03
Keith
Yeah.

00:32:54.43
Jeremy
It'll get harder. Give them a couple of quick little dunks, you know, and then just keep pulling. Um,

00:33:01.00
Keith
Well, I'll try that technique. Yeah. I'll try to find the best one that works, you know?

00:33:03.03
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. And especially if you're like, if especially if you're doing something like a duck, you know, you got to have good hot water to break through the oils, the oils on the outside of the feathers, you know, because if it's not hot enough, the water is literally just, it's just going off their backs.

00:33:10.64
Keith
They're tough.

00:33:19.34
Jeremy
Like literally that phrase water off a duck's back. So

00:33:21.69
Keith
Right, right.

00:33:23.06
Jeremy
It's just you you have to have hot water to break through the the oils and you and you dunk them. And when you're dunking them, you can actually see the top of the water. It's got it's got an oily sheen to it.

00:33:33.18
Keith
Huh.

00:33:33.72
Jeremy
So, but yeah.

00:33:34.87
Keith
Well, that's, that's the plan. So, and and we got the, we got the bags that we, the, the heat shrinking bags, the ties that we get, we got the whole nine, all the works, we got it all.

00:33:44.13
Jeremy
Mm-hmm.

00:33:44.57
Keith
So we're going to, I'm just setting up a thing tomorrow. I'll set it all up in an area that I'm going to be working and get it all ready and prepared. And then we'll, we'll weed out the, we'll weed out the ones we want to call. We'll put them in a, in a special deal, deal overnight and we won't feed them. And then Saturday around noon-ish, they get they get to go in the freezer for the long haul.

00:34:06.52
Jeremy
Nice.

00:34:07.26
Keith
Yeah.

00:34:07.32
Jeremy
Very nice.

00:34:08.26
Keith
And the turkeys will will go till... you know, look, I'd shoot them right now and go, go grab me a turkey right this second. But, you know, I'm not the only person here to make decisions. And, you know, actually, and she was really the one who wanted the turkeys anyway. They, you know, it was like a last minute thing. They were right there and we were on the line to pick up our chicks and our guineas and the turkeys were right there. And they were like two weeks old they were really cute as hell. And she was like, I want, no i want to I want, I want all, I want all the, give me the whole pot. I'm like, Nope. Nope. Come on.

00:34:39.19
Jeremy
me

00:34:39.44
Keith
So, yeah.

00:34:39.52
Buddy
Started with a chicken, didn't it? Two chickens.

00:34:42.07
Keith
That's called chicken math.

00:34:42.59
Buddy
Two little...

00:34:43.86
Jeremy
I don't know if I've ever, don't know if I've ever asked you this, but have you ever seen a Turk on?

00:34:43.90
Buddy
Yeah. It always starts.

00:34:49.72
Jeremy
It's a...

00:34:49.88
Keith
Oh, ah that's a chicken and turkey mix. Somehow they breed or something, right?

00:34:53.85
Jeremy
Yes. Yeah.

00:34:55.07
Keith
Yeah.

00:34:55.13
Jeremy
It is a typically it is a male Turkey crossed with a female chicken and they're usually very large, but they are butt ugly.

00:35:06.68
Jeremy
I mean, they are,

00:35:06.80
Keith
I've never seen one. I mean, I've seen him on, I've never seen one in person. I've just seen it on on a video.

00:35:11.03
Jeremy
It looks like a chicken, a large, large chicken with a meth problem. Like it's missing, it's missing feathers. It looks kind of gangly looking, but they're really big.

00:35:25.40
Jeremy
First time I ever ran into them was actually down in Louisiana in a military training.

00:35:30.42
Buddy
Go figure.

00:35:31.26
Jeremy
Yeah, exactly. It's a place that we call Joint Readiness Training Center or JRTC. And many, many, many years ago, people were ah they were breeding these turcons just for food, and it kind of got out of hand. They still breed them, but they'll actually, the the contractors that are out there doing the role play work, when they're out there in this area we call the box,

00:36:00.25
Jeremy
when they're out there, they stay out there. So the Turkons are actually used to, like, they they make meals out of them. So it's um it's a technique, but man, they just they look like really troubled turkeys. They look like turkeys that have been living on the street.

00:36:19.90
Jeremy
So...

00:36:20.76
Keith
Well, and the whole thing with the the the plucker deal is, you know, ah a turkey plucker, a good one starts at like 175, 200 bucks.

00:36:21.09
Buddy
Yeah.

00:36:28.53
Keith
You can get them as low as about 125 and they're kind of crap. Turkey ones, they have to be way bigger, obviously, because the turkeys are big and they'll just break a machine if you try and throw it into it.

00:36:34.49
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:36:38.30
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:36:38.61
Keith
But a turkey ones, usually they they start at like 275 for a good one, a good one. I'm not going to buy one. So we were looking around and I went on a Facebook marketplace and just so happens that here in the woods, a couple towns over, not not even a 15 minute drive, there's a lady who rents them 40 bucks, 40 bucks for the whole day.

00:36:45.21
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:36:57.90
Keith
You can't beat that 40 bucks. You do all your birds. you but You clean it. You bring it back to her and you you're good to go.

00:37:03.35
Jeremy
yeah Yeah, I'm actually looking at one right now on Facebook Marketplace. They kind of vary. um They've got some really old school ones for like $30 or $40.

00:37:12.80
Keith
Yeah, I've seen the old school. Yeah.

00:37:15.19
Jeremy
You know, I hate to say this.

00:37:16.15
Keith
Some of them, some people build those like handmade.

00:37:19.10
Jeremy
I'm going to tell you what. When I'm looking at this one, and it literally looks like a washing machine like a drum with adult toys being poked through it.

00:37:32.73
Buddy
Ho ho ho ho ho.

00:37:33.24
Keith
Yeah. Yeah. The rubber, the rubber fingers, you can buy them on Amazon. They're super cheap. can get like a whole package for your whole deal for like 20 bucks. And then you can, I've seen people use drums and, uh, or, uh, dishwasher, not dishwasher, clothes, washer, drums. i've seen people use the 50 gallon drums and they make them out of them. But basically it's just a drum with all these little fingers pointing inward that are rubberized. The very bottom is not of the drum. Let's say you cut it off, you know, that spins.

00:38:01.40
Keith
When that spins, the bird flops around inside there and the little rubber fingers just pull the, the you know, the the feathers right off.

00:38:01.56
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:38:09.34
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:38:09.42
Keith
And it's pretty amazing within just, you know, within like, you know, 30 seconds to a minute, they're all is done.

00:38:14.90
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. um That's actually pretty interesting looking. And I almost feel like I want to make a small one just as a joke.

00:38:23.97
Keith
Build one. Yeah. Build one.

00:38:24.92
Jeremy
no No, I mean like make it out of.

00:38:26.51
Keith
I've seen people.

00:38:29.69
Jeremy
don't.

00:38:30.09
Keith
Oh,

00:38:30.30
Jeremy
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

00:38:34.78
Keith
you got, you got the money for a practical joke like that. Go for But you know what?

00:38:37.69
Jeremy
i don't

00:38:37.99
Keith
I think if you go down to the store and you buy 50 rubber looking things, I think people are going to look at you a little funny.

00:38:43.22
Jeremy
so yeah I know. i know.

00:38:46.30
Keith
then you were like And where are all these going?

00:38:48.38
Jeremy
But I would just respond. I'd be like, yo, it's 2025. Don't judge me. I do what I want.

00:38:52.78
Buddy
Thank you.

00:38:54.05
Keith
having a really big party, man.

00:38:56.50
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. um You guys going to do anything for Black Friday? Because it's literally one of the worst days of the year. so Yeah.

00:39:04.59
Keith
Yeah. I don't do anything for black Friday, but I'm being told that I'm going, at some point and later in the day, I'm going to be, hopefully if I get through with the guineas, I'm going to be going down to bomb guards. It's a local feed store type place in our area. And they've got a pretty good deal. And I talked to the guy down there this week and he's, he was telling me some of the deals on the nine mil five, five, six, two, two three, but ah all the different ammos.

00:39:27.32
Keith
And he was, he was showing me some of the deals up front. Like, man, he's got to be really good. And then the prices were awesome. I mean, really good prices.

00:39:34.65
Jeremy
Yeah. um i ah I don't care for Black Friday. And Black Friday now, you know you you can do almost anything online. um And then there's Cyber Monday.

00:39:47.51
Jeremy
i don't know that you... I know for for stuff like for me, for instance, like you go onto Amazon... And you go into their Black Friday, say, or even Walmart, you know, like they've got their whole Black Friday week now. It's not even just a day anymore. It's a, it's a fricking week.

00:40:05.34
Jeremy
And you can just put in some, some basic search stuff and zero in on like, you know, if you're looking for prepper finds or if you're looking for electronics, there's, there's a, like a 5 million different ways to, to do it, you know?

00:40:24.21
Jeremy
um

00:40:24.41
Keith
Well, tell us what you found since that's kind of what we want to talk about tonight anyway.

00:40:28.21
Jeremy
Yeah, so,

00:40:28.47
Keith
And we can go through it pretty quickly. It's not like something that's going to be spent a lot of time on.

00:40:32.02
Jeremy
yeah I mean, and, you know, you got to think about some of the the facets of what we do, if we you know, preppers preppers, and if you look at the connotation of of what preppers do, there's always firearms involved.

00:40:44.69
Jeremy
And I've talked about them before. um i use electronic ears because, one, I've lost a significant amount of hearing from being in the military, um But it's it's better to just go ahead and put the damn things on your ears to protect your hearing. Electronic ears, what they are, they're basically earmuffs. they amplify sound to the point where it breaks the 32 decibel marker and then it instantly shuts itself off.

00:41:14.01
Jeremy
temporarily and muffles the sound of a firearm. And then it comes back on. um This one, and for for instance, they are the the basic ones from my Amazon. They're 3156. Typically, you can find them no less than in normal, you can even find them in Walmart now, but they're usually between 45 and 50 ish.

00:41:35.96
Jeremy
And they have all different models. um There's that one. We've talked about the Berna, you know, the Berna actual projectile launcher several times now. Amazon sells them now.

00:41:47.13
Jeremy
And you can actually find them for Black Friday deal, and they're $3.99 right now. um And that comes with the Berna launcher, um ah six or seven of the CO2 cartridges, three different tubes of the ammunition that's provided, and one extra magazine.

00:42:06.84
Jeremy
So I think that's pretty damn good deal.

00:42:08.99
Keith
so And that comes with the actual firearm itself, which is not really a firearm, but that comes with the actual gun itself?

00:42:14.46
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. That's the, that's the full size burner launcher.

00:42:15.74
Keith
Wow.

00:42:18.26
Keith
Wow, that's for burner. That's really good. That's a good deal.

00:42:21.52
Jeremy
huh

00:42:21.99
Keith
Wow.

00:42:22.07
Jeremy
Yeah. You know, we've talked about multiple times, um you know, the proper, and I, we even talked about it in the last hunting episode of putting away meat, getting a vacuum sealer, a good vacuum sealer to evacuate all of the air out of the, your meat storage. Cause air is the enemy of frozen food.

00:42:41.59
Jeremy
um They've got this particular one right here. The brand is Food Saver, which is a well-known brand. And this one, excuse me, is one of those ones where it's an internal. So you actually lift your lid.

00:42:54.26
Jeremy
You put your bag or you put the the food in the bag, you put the bag inside and it actually locks it in. And that one's 159. Now, it's normally listed. It's saying here $234.99, but we all know that on Black Friday, a lot of different companies will say it was normally this.

00:43:15.51
Jeremy
And then what you're really getting is not a huge discount, but if you do your research way before Black Friday, you'll know that whether or not you're getting a good deal.

00:43:26.86
Keith
Yeah, they take everything off of they take everything they want to sell on Black Friday. They take it off sale for the first couple of months before Black Friday so that people are seeing the usual prices. And sometimes they'll even jack those prices up a little bit by buy a few dollars here and there so that they can legally say, was $2.99 last week only $99 today?

00:43:39.35
Jeremy
ah

00:43:43.58
Jeremy
Yes. Yes.

00:43:45.47
Keith
yeah When it went actually back in March, you probably could have got it for $149.

00:43:49.59
Jeremy
Right. Right. Now they do have the compact Berna as well. And I'm not exactly sure why, but the compact is actually more expensive than the full size. I'm not 100% sure why, but it is. The the the compact is selling for $479.99.

00:44:08.25
Jeremy
um for that one and then there's just i mean there's a whole bunch of different stuff in here um they've got food dehydrators right now um which in my opinion is actually a good deal this is a 12 tray adjustable temperature in time for 124 um for black friday yeah because i know like Because mine, i like mine, but you just plug it in.

00:44:27.40
Keith
That's a good deal. Yeah. How big are the trays?

00:44:30.49
Buddy
Where's that at?

00:44:34.49
Jeremy
And you don't control the time. You don't control the temperature. you you can't really you know control the the amount of drying you're getting. You just slap it in there and hope for the best, and you've got to check it.

00:44:47.06
Jeremy
um that's That's one of the reasons why i want.

00:44:49.36
Keith
I got the same, I got a cheap version too, but mine, mine does have a timer. Mine does have the, the temperature thing on it. But mine's very, very cheap just like that too. I mean, I got the basic model you can possibly get and it works really good.

00:45:00.63
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:45:01.61
Keith
We like it.

00:45:02.94
Jeremy
Yeah, I do like it. um I do know that the last time I went to make jerky, and that did not go well.

00:45:10.17
Keith
You forgot the tallow.

00:45:11.50
Jeremy
I forgot the tallow. And my own mother, like, I i was so embarrassed by that. I'm like, damn, first I took her into a hurricane that caused catastrophic across North Carolina. And then i make jerky without putting in the tallow. Sorry, mom.

00:45:29.53
Jeremy
Yeah. um But there.

00:45:30.26
Keith
I think she probably enjoyed her trip.

00:45:32.50
Jeremy
Oh, she did. i mean, honestly, it it was it's one of those stories where you had to be there to appreciate it.

00:45:33.59
Keith
Yeah.

00:45:40.25
Jeremy
um I could definitely think of worse places to be trapped during a massive hurricane in the mountains.

00:45:40.99
Keith
Sure. Yeah.

00:45:46.70
Buddy
So, the...

00:45:47.58
Jeremy
um But we made the best do of what we had. We ate really well because they had to cook the food. And thank goodness their whole that the building is

00:45:57.94
Keith
I mean, you you could have been trapped in like a ah you know ah a Swiss ah ski resort with you know with two or three, um I don't know, ah ah volleyball, female volleyball teams.

00:45:58.68
Jeremy
old

00:46:05.24
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:46:12.15
Jeremy
Yeah,

00:46:12.74
Keith
ha no Happened to be visiting the same week you were when you got snowed in.

00:46:13.72
Buddy
not the

00:46:16.57
Keith
I mean, it could have happened.

00:46:17.09
Jeremy
it would have been...

00:46:17.08
Buddy
the swedish The Swedish bikini team.

00:46:19.45
Jeremy
Right, right.

00:46:19.78
Keith
That too, sure, yeah.

00:46:21.66
Jeremy
Yeah, but I mean... i if I could have documented, like video documented the whole thing, it would have been... it would have been worth it. But...

00:46:33.24
Jeremy
You know, we got along pretty well. the the the guys that worked there, that that that couple, they really, they hadn't they didn't know what to do. And so they depended on people like my mom and I and like, you know, one or two others. But what they did know how to do is they had to go down and inventory the food that they had in which freezer and fridge and they did make a ah pretty good effort to prioritize what needed to get cooked up first

00:47:03.90
Keith
that This is what happens when you when you set Jeremy loose.

00:47:07.32
Jeremy
Sorry. But yeah, um back

00:47:08.47
Keith
It goes right off the rails, man.

00:47:11.41
Buddy
Thank you.

00:47:11.99
Jeremy
back to Black Friday, um i would say that one of the only ones that if you are a prepper and you're listening to this podcast, which I assume would make you one or want to be one, there is a

00:47:28.44
Keith
Every prepper in the world is listening to us right now. Every one of them.

00:47:31.16
Jeremy
Yes, everyone, all of them.

00:47:32.76
Keith
Yes.

00:47:32.92
Jeremy
But there are a lot of really good deals.

00:47:34.65
Keith
We're that big. we're We're that big of a deal.

00:47:35.93
Jeremy
yeah You know, we're not doing too shabby according to Google. I will just tell you that.

00:47:43.34
Keith
not We're not doing too shabby. That's true.

00:47:44.86
Jeremy
Yeah, um but there are a lot of really good deals on Baofangs, the UB5Rs and other types of Baofang radios. There's a lot of really good deals out there right now. And I tell everyone, if you need to start in your communications plan, get a Baofeng. You can get just the regular old-fashioned UV5R and learn how to use it manually, learn how to use it digitally, and then move up from there. you know it's it's Now is the time to stock up on stuff that's on sale.

00:48:20.86
Jeremy
And um if you're one of the...

00:48:23.26
Buddy
Man, you can get packages cheap.

00:48:24.70
Jeremy
Go ahead.

00:48:26.66
Buddy
I mean, you got get two.

00:48:26.90
Jeremy
Oh, yeah.

00:48:28.28
Buddy
mean, you got to talk somebody, right? So, ah yeah, you can pick up a whole package of them cheap right now.

00:48:34.65
Jeremy
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And um um like this one right here, this is a two pack of the UV5R, you know, handheld radios. But now they are by definition, according to the the law, they are a ham radio.

00:48:49.40
Jeremy
um There are things you can do to, say, make it to where it works on everything. But yes, yeah.

00:48:57.02
Buddy
This is where we insert the FCC rules, but in it, but the loophole.

00:49:01.78
Jeremy
Now, here's the way it.

00:49:03.30
Buddy
Yeah.

00:49:03.79
Jeremy
here's the way around it um There are UV5Rs and other radios from Baofeng or other companies that are for um GMRS. Now, if you know anything about GMRS, GMRS and FRS from channel 1 to 22 are the exact same thing.

00:49:25.29
Jeremy
FRS, which is the family radio service, goes from 1 to 22. And then once you get to 22 you start crossing over into channel 23 and higher, now you're starting to talk about the use of going higher in power in order to push the bandwidth.

00:49:42.01
Jeremy
Once you cross over channel 22 FRS, you then go into GMRS, which you have to be licensed for. so And that process is also extremely simple.

00:49:49.65
Keith
Right, right.

00:49:52.73
Buddy
Yeah, and beat um there's a company called BTEC. It's the Baofeng. It's a sister company. that It's actually, they they don't build them in the United States, but I think they assemble them in the United States and and sell them.

00:50:07.38
Buddy
I think it's South or North Dakota, and one of the two Dakotas. Anyhow, um they're all GMRS. They come pre-programmed GMRS, so you can get 5-watt, you can get 8-watt.

00:50:20.45
Buddy
There's different wattage out there, but it's called BTEC.

00:50:23.32
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:50:23.38
Buddy
And so if if you don't want to go through the whole UV5R, you know, have to program them and jailbreak them and do the things, just get a BTEC that come right out the box. You can turn them on and use them.

00:50:35.45
Buddy
Pretty, pretty nice little piece of kit for the beginner.

00:50:37.61
Keith
Well, mine didn't have to be programmed. They just had to be jailbred.

00:50:43.19
Buddy
Yeah. And, you know, there's a process involved in that.

00:50:44.34
Jeremy
Well, they.

00:50:46.23
Buddy
And if somebody...

00:50:46.71
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:50:47.97
Keith
Yeah, I know. It was like a big clandestine, you know, cloak and dagger thing where Jeremy's like, I'm going to call you up and we're going to do this thing. And he calls you up. He goes, okay, press these two buttons.

00:50:58.67
Keith
Now turn it on. There you go. It's jailbroke. I'm like, dude, you couldn't have fucking text me that?

00:51:04.73
Jeremy
yeah

00:51:05.24
Keith
Text me that next time. Just say it's two buttons.

00:51:07.27
Jeremy
They're always they're always watching.

00:51:07.31
Buddy
Well, and there's there's plenty of videos out there to do it. so But I'm just saying, if you wanted to if you wanted to take it right out of the box and use the BTEC

00:51:11.10
Jeremy
oh yeah.

00:51:17.59
Keith
Yeah. Yeah.

00:51:18.46
Buddy
the b ta is

00:51:19.13
Keith
And it's not it's not illegal to listen in on the other ones. You just can't act. You can't be active, right?

00:51:23.86
Buddy
Correct.

00:51:24.55
Keith
Yeah.

00:51:24.89
Jeremy
No, it's not it's not illegal to listen in

00:51:24.89
Buddy
Correct.

00:51:24.90
Keith
Yeah.

00:51:27.86
Jeremy
um If you are going to transmit via ham, you have to either have a license or it has to be a declared emergency.

00:51:39.67
Keith
Right.

00:51:39.74
Jeremy
or you just you're you're in an emergency regard. like it's an a if you if If you're in an emergency and you kind of bust up into a ham channel and it's all the sad hams talking about their hemorrhoids and their lawnmowers,

00:51:54.30
Jeremy
And you bust up in there and be like, hey, I'm i'm upside down in a car in the middle of space. That is

00:52:00.40
Keith
And they're like, no, we're talking about our lawnmowers, dude.

00:52:03.06
Jeremy
Exactly. I'm not... a Dude, it's... Oh, man. I'm going to tell you.

00:52:06.36
Keith
Like little babies.

00:52:07.93
Jeremy
oh man. Like, I legitimately tried to bust up into a group of sad hams when we went back there to do search and rescue.

00:52:09.97
Keith
Ahem.

00:52:17.21
Jeremy
um And I was intensely chastised. And I'm like, look, man.

00:52:21.69
Keith
ah

00:52:22.87
Jeremy
This is an actual emergency. Can you clear the net and shut up? Like I was so fricking angry, dude. I was so mad. So mad.

00:52:32.60
Buddy
And how did that go?

00:52:33.75
Jeremy
Well, eventually.

00:52:36.51
Keith
And that's where we're going to stop because you're just going to, you're going to keep on going, man.

00:52:37.98
Jeremy
Right. Long story short.

00:52:40.97
Keith
You're going to do it. And we got to bring, bring the, bring the listeners back bring them back Everybody come back down, sit back down in your chairs.

00:52:45.30
Jeremy
yeah

00:52:48.53
Keith
We're in the bunker now. Relax.

00:52:49.94
Jeremy
i wasn't yeah And it wasn't Black Friday, but eventually the message got out. That's all I'll say.

00:52:53.65
Keith
There you go. Okay.

00:52:54.68
Jeremy
All right.

00:52:54.65
Keith
So now we're, but we're on black Friday stuff still.

00:52:56.79
Jeremy
Yeah, i'm I'm done with mine.

00:52:57.51
Keith
Okay. Good, good, good, good.

00:52:58.68
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:52:58.94
Keith
Oh, you are.

00:52:59.24
Jeremy
That is the Walker head...

00:52:59.61
Keith
okay. Did you talk about Walker heads headphones first off?

00:53:04.66
Jeremy
ah that is the walker head so theyre their well I prefer the Walker razors. They're thin.

00:53:10.44
Keith
That's what I use. I wanted to ask you about that. Yeah.

00:53:12.79
Jeremy
Yeah, i have I have several sets of them. um And i use i mean, I'll just put it to you this way. While I'm on contract, I primarily use an a k forty seven And even on automatic, and I love the sound of it, but on automatic, it just, well, it it well it thumps.

00:53:29.99
Keith
So loud.

00:53:33.04
Jeremy
Once the headset turns on or turns itself off and it flashes, it's it's this, and I love it on semi-automatic because I can pull the trigger quickly, but it just has this nice little don't don't don't dont don because as soon as that decibel point breaks, it turns itself off off and yeah I do not go deaf during during gunfights.

00:53:38.01
Keith
Yeah.

00:53:52.80
Keith
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, go back here. You have a fully automatic AK-47

00:53:57.78
Jeremy
The AKs that we use are actual AKs. They're fully automatic. Yeah.

00:54:01.76
Keith
that you use. Do you own them?

00:54:03.64
Jeremy
No, no, no. This is while I'm on contract.

00:54:05.32
Keith
Oh, was going to say, dude, you got you got some money. Like, whoa, dude.

00:54:08.15
Jeremy
No.

00:54:09.07
Keith
Like, that's that's high dollar stuff we're talking there.

00:54:11.32
Jeremy
No, no. I don't have that kind of license.

00:54:12.65
Keith
for this For the civilian, yeah. I mean, you know.

00:54:14.30
Jeremy
Yeah. But no, we use them on contract. So.

00:54:16.94
Keith
Okay. All right. Yeah. Yeah. I got you.

00:54:18.07
Jeremy
Mm-hmm.

00:54:18.59
Keith
Well, that's what I wanted to say. Cause I use the same one. I love them a lot. The razor is very thin. i like how they fit. i can, I can get a good purchase on my phone, on my, my gun with it when I'm, when using them. But I have a hard time with spatial, like listening, like where is the sound coming from?

00:54:35.06
Jeremy
that is That is one problem with those. And it's the problem with a lot of electronic headsets. A lot of them are not directional. They're omnidirectional.

00:54:43.15
Keith
directional, right? yeah cause like i can't tell the noise is coming from front of me, behind me, on the side.

00:54:44.35
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:54:46.90
Keith
I just hear it really clear. and I'm starting to look around like left, right. where Where's that coming from?

00:54:51.38
Jeremy
Yeah. And and ah especially when you're deer hunting, like i i have them on my head while I'm deer hunting. um But I have learned that if I'm deer hunting and I have them on the whole time, i turn into a paranoid freaking mess because what I think you hear everything for a long ways.

00:55:07.92
Keith
hear lot. Yeah, yeah.

00:55:11.53
Jeremy
And I'm, what I think I'm hearing is like a 5,000 pound deer, but it's actually a like squirrel crackhead festival going down by my feet.

00:55:22.86
Jeremy
Like that's, Cause they're mating right now and it is, it's like turf war down, down beneath me.

00:55:27.26
Keith
Yeah, they're crazy.

00:55:29.34
Jeremy
But and what I lit learned was like my hearing on my right side is a lot worse than my left. So I'll actually take that one ear off of my right ear. And so i can do, i can hear some, um but it's not magnified too much.

00:55:39.30
Keith
Right.

00:55:45.79
Jeremy
So I can kind of get a direction.

00:55:46.74
Keith
Gotcha.

00:55:47.83
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah.

00:55:49.53
Keith
All right.

00:55:49.61
Jeremy
That's what I have to do.

00:55:51.22
Keith
Buddy, what do you got for Black Friday? Black Friday.

00:55:53.27
Buddy
All right. I got stuff for stocking stuffers. This is what I worked on.

00:55:56.57
Keith
Nice, nice.

00:55:58.04
Buddy
So you basically, that it's stuff that's small enough to fit in a st stocking. And I've got 10, so I'm going to try rip through them quickly. And if you want, we can put in the show.

00:56:09.68
Buddy
They're all Black Friday deals um that I found on Amazon. So for the most part, I kept to Amazon.

00:56:15.84
Keith
Everything you guys talk about, I'll put it in the ah show notes as a link. It'll be ah it'll be ah and ah an affiliate, Amazon affiliate link.

00:56:20.41
Buddy
Okay.

00:56:23.97
Keith
We make a penny or two off each one, but I'll put them in there so people can see them and know we're talking about.

00:56:28.64
Buddy
Okay, so first thing I want to talk about is i've I've had a conversation with Refuge Medical today, and we do have a discount code for Black Friday, and they have a Black Friday sale and beyond.

00:56:44.11
Keith
And and beyond. Yeah.

00:56:46.68
Buddy
So we're working on what I'm doing is I'm working on this discount code, which we won't release it until probably i have to do a little work on my end for it.

00:56:57.98
Buddy
Just to be transparent, we're going to make some money off of every cell. So we're going to take the money off every cell and put it back into the podcast, into the webpage, or into something.

00:57:09.50
Buddy
But it's going to be taken. we're not going to stick in our pockets what I'm go to say. We're going to take and put the money back into the show so we can you know build and get get bigger and better things.

00:57:21.46
Buddy
So we'll put that out either on the next podcast. We'll we'll probably, on every podcast, put it out there. And then

00:57:28.40
Keith
So ah will it be ah will it be ready to go for Black Friday in a couple of days?

00:57:32.49
Buddy
they're going to have, Refuge Medical has a Black Friday sale that goes live, I believe, on, it's either tonight. I believe it's tonight it goes live. And I i apologize. I didn't get the, it's probably on my phone right now. I didn't check it tonight or it'll be tomorrow.

00:57:49.69
Buddy
they Their actual Black Friday sale goes live. And then we'll have a discount code. that will you could use either one but the black friday sales supposedly is is better than the the discount code so that makes any sense the discount code will come later probably on the facebook page so keep checking the facebook page we'll make an announcement with the code and then uh

00:58:04.03
Keith
Nice. its Cool. Yeah.

00:58:13.07
Keith
So if anybody's looking for some really good, high quality, American made, homegrown, uh, medical, uh, equipment, what is it called? Medical equipment. I mean, first aid type stuff.

00:58:24.01
Buddy
yeah first day

00:58:24.78
Keith
They're, they're the one, they're the ones you want to go to.

00:58:27.06
Buddy
And the two things I would highly, the three things highly suggest from Refuge would be they what's called a slick kit. And it's just a basic piece of kit. It's a blow, part of the trauma blowout kit, bleed kit.

00:58:41.46
Buddy
It fits in your, it'll face fit in your back pocket, cargo pocket, along with a cat Gen 7 tourniquet. And that's pretty much all you need for basic, you know, blowouts, you know, your basic stop the bleed kind of exercise or, you know, in case, heaven forbid, you had to use it in real life.

00:59:01.58
Buddy
Yeah,

00:59:02.09
Keith
Dude, I saw a video on Refuge Medical. ah I don't think it was on their website, but it was on Bear for Bear Independent, you know the owner.

00:59:09.85
Buddy
yeah.

00:59:10.55
Keith
um Man, dude, he had a whole like a whole group of people that he was teaching at a table, and he had this piece of Tupperware sitting in front of with an actual like piece of meat.

00:59:21.99
Keith
like I don't know if it was ah like a pork something or whatever. It was a giant piece of meat with a bullet hole in it. And he was sticking his finger down in there and he was teaching people, you got you gotta to put your finger on that artery.

00:59:29.14
Buddy
Yeah, i was ah

00:59:34.34
Keith
You got you gotta to stop it up. Then you got to start putting the the gauze in. hes He's pushing it. You don't just push it in when you got to hold your finger down. He was teaching people how to stuff a wound. I've never seen that before.

00:59:42.15
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:59:43.22
Keith
in real I've never seen that before.

00:59:43.64
Jeremy
Yeah.

00:59:43.63
Buddy
it's a trainer.

00:59:44.69
Keith
That was amazing, dude.

00:59:45.82
Jeremy
Yeah, we call it wound packing.

00:59:47.67
Buddy
Yeah, it's ah it's a wound packing trainer and we use it all time there.

00:59:47.80
Keith
It's crazy.

00:59:51.12
Jeremy
Mm-hmm.

00:59:52.15
Buddy
So yeah, it's it's good training and and yeah it's rubber.

00:59:54.74
Keith
Oh, so that thing was rubberized?

00:59:57.06
Buddy
Yeah.

00:59:57.40
Keith
Oh, it looked like a real piece of meat.

00:59:59.61
Buddy
Oh, and we have kits you put on, like you strap it on your leg and looks like a gunshot wound and that and you can hook it up to a ah bottle of fake blood that'll spurt blood out.

01:00:07.92
Keith
No way.

01:00:09.11
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:00:11.34
Keith
Damn, that's cool.

01:00:11.49
Buddy
It's crazy.

01:00:11.54
Jeremy
yeah

01:00:12.67
Keith
That's cool.

01:00:13.18
Jeremy
We call it a we call it a musin kit.

01:00:13.69
Buddy
So, yeah, muslin kit, some moulage, all kinds of good training stuff.

01:00:16.25
Jeremy
um

01:00:19.76
Buddy
But so, you know, that that piece of kit, the slick kit with the the Tourniquet is great just for everyday carry and then something that they have that I love i absolutely love this piece of kit is a they call it a pocket kit it's Something that you can stick in your pocket you can stick a tourniquet pocket knife and an extra mag in there you get to get a Little pocket so organizer basically Uh, you can see a flashlight in there. You can do all different kinds of things with it. You can hook it onto your belt.

01:00:57.34
Buddy
It's just a very versatile piece of kit for 30 bucks, uh, called a pocket organizer. It it's every penny worth what, you know, what you're going pay for it. So it's something to look at as well. And I'll, I'll stick a link on in the show notes with it.

01:01:13.14
Buddy
So, so that's all about the refuge thing. So just, you know, I work for them. I, uh, do contract work for them. Uh, So um um I'm glad that they will give us a discount code because, I mean, they don't sell trash. Their stuff is more expensive than TEMU. If you want to put your life on the line with a TEMU tourniquet, go right ahead. I'm not. I'm not going to use anything from TEMU.

01:01:37.87
Buddy
I'm just saying. So my ah my life, I'll pay the extra money to get some good gauze and a nice tub.

01:01:42.90
Keith
There are plenty of people who buy top of the line stuff. Not saying any names, Jeremy, but there are plenty of people who buy top of the line, full dollar type stuff. That's what they like. That's what they want to have. This is the place to get it.

01:01:55.15
Keith
Yeah, I've been I've been I've checked the the refuge medical.

01:01:55.33
Buddy
Yeah.

01:01:57.99
Keith
It is outstanding. It's really great stuff.

01:02:00.31
Jeremy
Oh, yeah.

01:02:00.46
Buddy
It's a buy once, cry once thing. I mean, but that's just me. I mean, if you want to use a Timu and trust your your family's life with Timu tourniquet, go right ahead, you'll you'll use it once.

01:02:04.50
Jeremy
Now, I don't.

01:02:10.20
Jeremy
I walked away from the army with a very healthy collection of tourniquets. I'll just say that.

01:02:14.08
Buddy
Yeah.

01:02:14.11
Keith
Yeah.

01:02:15.52
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:02:16.31
Buddy
So moving right along from the refuge thing, I've got the the stocking stuffer.

01:02:16.34
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:02:21.16
Buddy
So the first thing I have is what's called an O-Lite. baton four. It's a rechargeable flashlight that comes in. It's water in a rechargeable case that is a IPX eight waterproof, some emergency light that comes in a little rechargeable canister.

01:02:40.62
Buddy
That's waterproof. It's it's pretty good piece of kit. It is kind of expensive at $66, but then ah there again, you've got a 1300 lumen flashlight with a type C charging box on it that you can

01:02:53.13
Keith
It's one of the best lights out there. Olight makes really high quality stuff.

01:02:54.90
Buddy
Yeah. So, you know, if know significant others that, yeah.

01:02:59.49
Keith
and And my flashlight's $39. It's $40. So it's not that much cheaper than the Olight.

01:03:05.53
Buddy
The cool thing is you can, you can, you know put it in your truck, your car and charge it with a type C charger. can put it, you know, charge it anywhere, charge it off a solar panel or whatever.

01:03:15.67
Buddy
So we'll stick in, you know, backpack, your pocket, whatever. So it's just kind of expensive, but it's,

01:03:22.17
Keith
I like the fact that the case that you put it in is also a charger. So if you're, as long as it's in there and it's fully charged, you won't suck off it.

01:03:26.71
Buddy
Yeah.

01:03:29.53
Keith
But as soon as it starts to die or whatever, and you put it and you pop it in that case, it'll charge it while it's in the case.

01:03:34.46
Buddy
it Yeah, it's it's on my list. Let's just put it that way. So I'll move on to the next thing I have is I found this company called Nest Out and they they produce a bunch of different outdoors kind of or survival equipment. Mostly all of it is IP67 waterproof. This stuff is dustproof, waterproof, and it's a 500 milliamp hour power bank. And they have different power banks. This is the entry level one.

01:04:07.71
Buddy
For $33, start with one of these. you know It's hour battery, uh, charger. So you can charge your phone. Uh, I've charged a computer off of it, phones, uh, radios, the, the Balfang radio I've, I've charged off of it.

01:04:25.63
Keith
I'm looking at it right now. It's pretty nice, man.

01:04:28.12
Buddy
It is very nice.

01:04:28.17
Keith
It's a damn good price, too.

01:04:30.20
Buddy
And that there's one for, they usually run 50 bucks or more. You can get one for 33 right now if you're not choosing on your color. So, uh, lovely piece of kit. Um, I've got a lot of their, uh,

01:04:44.28
Buddy
equipment I've got. yeah i've I've just got a lot of their stuff and I love it and I keep buying more. So that's just a nice piece of kit. So definitely consider it for $33. You know, you can't beat it.

01:04:58.14
Buddy
Next thing I'm talking about will be just your life straws. I don't really like life straws that much, but you can buy a two pack for 20 bucks right now on Amazon.

01:05:09.37
Buddy
Usually they, you know, they'll even go down to 10, $11 different. different

01:05:14.49
Keith
Yeah, they used to be, when they first came out, they were $25 or $35 per, and then they went down to like $19.

01:05:19.00
Buddy
Yeah.

01:05:20.61
Keith
And I think about $17 is where it's lowest I think I've seen them. And I've got two or three of them. And yeah, I don't like them either because they're really hard to get that, you know, the primum, get that water through there. Here's the thing.

01:05:31.57
Keith
In a shit down situation, a grid down situation for SHGF, this thing is a lifesaver, man.

01:05:39.00
Buddy
Hey, for that bug out bag that you have with 18 million pounds of shit in there, you know,

01:05:39.13
Keith
You're going to drink water

01:05:45.72
Keith
Right.

01:05:47.10
Buddy
Ounces equal pounds after a while. So these these would be good.

01:05:49.24
Keith
And they're very light.

01:05:50.84
Buddy
These would be good just to stick in there. the very light. to very you can If you had to ditch your ruck, you could throw them in your pocket. You know you can get a two-pack of them. for I got some a couple years ago at at Home Depot. I was buying something else. I went there specifically to buy a Black Friday, some DeWalt tools or something, and them there for $13. got, i don't know.

01:06:14.65
Buddy
five or six of them for 13 bucks i mean i i had to i had to pick them up so you yeah so it's a good piece of kit uh especially for stocking stuffer now one of my favorite pieces of kit is a pocket chainsaw and so it's got paracord on it and it's got the chainsaw blade hooked up to the paracord

01:06:20.38
Keith
Live straw is a great stocking stuffer. It is.

01:06:31.12
Jeremy
Thank you.

01:06:36.70
Buddy
ah It's 16. It's got 16 teeth long chainsaw. So basically, you know, you have a primitive chainsaw or a primitive saw on some paracord handles.

01:06:50.52
Buddy
So nice. it's It's a little bit heavy, but that or a folding saw. I don't know why I love.

01:06:57.78
Keith
Yeah, yeah. Just so we're clear, it is not the wire that, you know, can scratch you.

01:07:02.62
Buddy
Yes, it's actually a chainsaw.

01:07:03.19
Keith
this is ah This is a chainsaw chain, an actual chainsaw chain ah with with handles on it.

01:07:05.80
Jeremy
Mm-hmm.

01:07:09.05
Buddy
So for $17 to $20, you can pick up one of these things. And like ah you know I said before, buy once, cry once. You're going to be able to get more uses out of this thing than you that you can think of. So nice.

01:07:23.58
Buddy
and And again, I'll put this you put it in the show notes so you can see them. But I prefer that. Or I have folding sauce too. folding sauce to that, you know, they're anywhere from 13 to 20 bucks, you can get a good one.

01:07:38.20
Buddy
So either, either one, but I thought that, you know, the handheld, yeah, they were great.

01:07:42.84
Keith
I got the silky and I love it.

01:07:45.78
Buddy
So next piece of, you know, stocking stuff for kits you could buy would be for 20 bucks, you can get a three pack of water. They're waterproof canisters, they're emergency fire starter, the waterproof matches.

01:07:58.30
Buddy
So you can buy, yeah.

01:07:59.67
Keith
Oh yeah, they're good. Are those ones with look the big head on them? Like where they really burnt? Yeah, those are good.

01:08:04.73
Buddy
so three pack waterproof container once you use the the matches out of them you can use a container for other things so pretty nice uh you can get two for 15 so and if it's right into the st stocking all right next piece one of my favorites as well is a stanley it's called a stanley Wild Fair Go. It's a four-piece stainless steel cook cup. So it's got, it's basically a a Stanley cup that you can, single walled, you can stick on your fire to, you know, boil water, do whatever with it. And it has two, i would call them plastic, you know, serving cups inside.

01:08:45.46
Buddy
So, you know, you're you're making a soup, you're boiling your water, you make a soup, you know, at the campsite, you can pull it out. you got the the cups there ready to go for you. So, and it runs about $15. So nice piece of kit. I have one, love it.

01:09:02.65
Buddy
I highly suggest it for people who are, you know, that camp and especially hiking. It's small enough, goes in your ruck, it weighs 32 ounces. So it's not gonna weigh a lot.

01:09:12.18
Keith
What was the product name again? know was Stanley. What was the actual model?

01:09:15.92
Buddy
Stanley Wild Fair.

01:09:18.52
Keith
Wildfair. Okay.

01:09:19.67
Buddy
Go four-piece. It's a go four-piece stainless steel cup. So, $32.

01:09:24.68
Keith
I've seen their their Go series, but I think you're talking about something a little bit different.

01:09:24.78
Buddy
Yeah,

01:09:29.68
Keith
The Go series are more like tumblers.

01:09:30.10
Buddy
it's part of the Go series, but it's just a it's ah it's ah basically a coffee cup with some additional stuff.

01:09:36.68
Keith
Oh, cool.

01:09:37.45
Buddy
so

01:09:38.11
Keith
Cool.

01:09:39.10
Buddy
All right, the next thing would be right in the rain. You can get a three-pack of three-by-five black or different colors of right in the rain notebooks. So this is something you always need. i have I have notebooks all over the place. In my truck, they're in my bug out bag.

01:09:55.61
Buddy
I use it with a pencil because a pencil you can usually write with. Or writing in the rain pens is something you need as well. But it's just a good piece of kit to have.

01:10:06.16
Buddy
and And like I said, I have them all over the place. It's just good to take notes.

01:10:09.77
Keith
They're waterproof, right?

01:10:11.46
Buddy
waterproof, weatherproof, man, I've used them in combat. I've used them camping. I've used them at the farm. I've used them all over the place. And so just a good piece of kit to have fits right in the stocking. It's a 15, 14, $15. You can get a three pack.

01:10:28.47
Buddy
So it's just too easy. And next would be some paracord. Everybody needs paracord. You can never have too much paracord. So you can get 50 foot or 50 to 100 feet of 550 core, you know, the actual paracord that, you know, paratroopers jump out of the airplanes with for about $10.

01:10:38.41
Jeremy
Thank

01:10:51.04
Buddy
So in different colors you want to be pink or red or camo colored, whatever you can get, you know, paracord for 10 bucks fits right in stock.

01:10:59.98
Keith
I think they have the fire starter one too, where there's like a wire of fire starter in there.

01:11:05.05
Jeremy
Yeah, some of the internal and the the guts on the inside, you can, when you shred it apart.

01:11:05.22
Keith
I think they have one. The internal.

01:11:08.70
Buddy
when you pull when you pull out the yeah When you pull out the guts, you can start with that.

01:11:08.73
Keith
Right.

01:11:13.69
Buddy
And then there's one piece in there that will be marked. It usually has a black, yeah, red or orange or black it with the military 550 cord.

01:11:19.89
Keith
It's usually red or orange, right?

01:11:25.20
Buddy
There's a piece of gut in there that has black, one strand of black in there. that That's your mother. We just call it the mother.

01:11:35.89
Buddy
Mother Strand. So that one right there is, it'll burn and burn quickly.

01:11:39.60
Keith
It'll burn. Yeah. yeah

01:11:42.02
Buddy
So, all right.

01:11:42.50
Jeremy
Hmm. Hmm.

01:11:43.97
Buddy
So the next one, um another thing that burns well is duct tape. And don't want to go down the whole rabbit hole with that, but duct tape burns really quick and nice too. So another thing to think about.

01:11:56.44
Buddy
All right. The next thing is, is a camping and backpacking, not reference card. So there's $8, you can,

01:12:04.74
Keith
Oh, I would love to have that, man. I ah suck. I totally suck at doing knots. I would love the du to have something like that.

01:12:09.78
Buddy
ay I've learned lots throughout my military career and I forgot more than I've learned. And I bought this actual card a few years ago because I was looking through stuff for stocking stuffers actually. And I saw it and I was like, man, that is cool. And I started looking through it.

01:12:26.04
Buddy
And so,

01:12:26.27
Keith
so it's kind of a ah cheat sheet.

01:12:28.44
Buddy
It is the size of a credit card, and you have, i don't know, eight different cards in there, front and back, that have different knots, and it teaches you, shows you, displays how to do these knots.

01:12:36.03
Keith
Oh,

01:12:38.93
Buddy
So for somebody that needs to learn knots, you can sit around with your 550 cord, and I have a piece of 550 cord that goes through the little handle of it that I keep just for that.

01:12:39.89
Keith
yeah.

01:12:51.68
Buddy
So if I'm sitting around being bored somewhere, i can, you know, waiting on the kids or something to pick them up, I pull it out and just start teaching myself how to do knots.

01:13:03.86
Buddy
Pretty cool little items. $8. All right. Last one I have, and it's something I i have in every one of my vehicles. I buy a new vehicle. I buy a new one.

01:13:16.96
Buddy
It's the seatbelt cutter. It's a seatbelt cutter with a window hammer. So it's basically a, you know, get out of a car, break the window, cut the seatbelt,

01:13:29.08
Buddy
escape tool. So it's just an emergency seatbelt cutter. And on the end of it, it has, it's built like a hammer. So one end is a seatbelt cutter. The other end is a, a window break and it's got two different ways to break the window. So seven, $8.

01:13:47.68
Keith
does Does it have the pressure one where you just push against the glass and it breaks?

01:13:51.35
Buddy
You actually have to swing this one. Now there are for about $10, $13. And I put these in my girl's car. where it has a, yeah, you just stick it up to there, you hit the button, it it breaks it breaks the window and then it sets off an alarm.

01:13:59.88
Keith
The pinpoint, like it's got a really fine point on it.

01:14:06.26
Keith
Oh, you got the, ah you got the, yeah.

01:14:11.85
Keith
It's like spring assisted where it pops out.

01:14:13.62
Buddy
Spring assisted, there's an alarm on it. So it yeah, it costs a little more.

01:14:16.40
Keith
oh wow. Wow. Nice.

01:14:19.58
Buddy
And I i looked at them on here, but i thought, man, This is too easy. it's too cheap. you know You can put it, especially for a new driver or you know your wife or husband's car, truck, whatever it may be.

01:14:32.24
Buddy
Just a nice piece of kit. You can you can take it and mount it in places. I have it in my door.

01:14:38.81
Keith
that's the That's the important part. Because you're going to have to remember where this thing is in emergency.

01:14:43.32
Buddy
Well, and I'm bad about this because in my Jeep, I had it mounted in my truck. I just stick in the door. Well, if you roll, have a rollover accident, shit goes everywhere. So I just hope that, you know, it's laying close enough to me where when I'm upside down, I can grab it and, and, you know, cut the seatbelt off with it or something.

01:15:00.70
Buddy
But yeah, but, um, I don't know.

01:15:00.73
Keith
Before the car goes into flames.

01:15:05.14
Keith
Well, no, the good thing about your, your cheap version is that I love cheap versions because when we're talking about them on, on the podcast, because it gets people thinking like, Oh, I'll look at that. That looks really cool. And then, then they'll maybe move on to something like, Hey, well, this looks better.

01:15:17.69
Keith
Or that maybe I'll, maybe I'll spend a few extra bucks and get this other thing. It's about getting the listeners thinking about things, just thinking about things, opening up your brain and thinking outside the box.

01:15:28.28
Jeremy
Mm-hmm.

01:15:28.62
Buddy
Well, I've said it in the past is, you know, you got to think through problems. And I've, through some training through Refuge, I met a guy who is really big on, you know, thinking through problems and stuff. And and that's his big, you know, he does problem solving and, you know, actual, you know, life skills and survival skills.

01:15:51.35
Buddy
But, you know, and he says that, hey, You got to think your way through the problem, kind of like I say, you know, you got to think your way through the problem, but, you know, you know, you have to make a decision.

01:16:03.13
Buddy
it might not be the right decision, but you need an indecision is going to kill you. Doing nothing is is not as good as you know doing something. So. But anyways, that that's my list. ah you know yeah I try to keep it cheap and and useful.

01:16:18.93
Buddy
And that way, you know if you're looking at prepper type stocking stuffers, there you go. got a nice little list for you.

01:16:27.63
Jeremy
very cool I like so I like stockings when I was a kid getting stockings was almost more more fun for me than actual like presents yeah yeah

01:16:37.06
Keith
Way better. Way better.

01:16:38.94
Buddy
Yeah. You get like 20 things in and, you know, and every year you're like, wow, can I get a bigger stocking this year?

01:16:45.14
Jeremy
Well, we had the same, and my brother, my so I think my mom still has them. When we were growing up, we all had the exact same stockings every single year.

01:16:57.62
Jeremy
And um that was it was usually during the holidays that my mom would get the, you remember the, they look like a book. You open it up and it's Lifesavers. She used to get those every single year.

01:17:08.28
Buddy
Oh, yeah. Or Petzels. Yeah.

01:17:10.33
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:17:10.54
Buddy
And Petzels, Lifesavers.

01:17:11.58
Jeremy
And she would throw like,

01:17:13.33
Buddy
Yeah.

01:17:13.86
Jeremy
nitinoid stuff in the stocking, but that was usually like my favorite. So, yeah.

01:17:19.48
Buddy
Well, did you get lip balm or.

01:17:22.28
Jeremy
Dude, I have an unhealthy relationship with chapstick. I go through yeah chapstick, lifesavers, gum, um all types of just, you know, stuff.

01:17:25.37
Buddy
Yeah, we would get chapstick every year, too. So bubble gum. Yeah. Yeah.

01:17:34.73
Jeremy
Um, that she would throw like a little, these little cookie things in there and different snacks and yeah.

01:17:40.20
Buddy
Werther's originals. Who the hell puts those in?

01:17:42.93
Jeremy
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

01:17:44.16
Buddy
used to hate those. Yeah.

01:17:46.17
Jeremy
Nice. Yeah.

01:17:47.86
Buddy
But yeah, that's...

01:17:47.94
Jeremy
and

01:17:49.18
Keith
For me, it was the Pepperidge Farms ah mint milant Mint Milano's.

01:17:51.94
Jeremy
Oh, yeah.

01:17:53.68
Keith
that's That's what was in my my stocking every single year.

01:17:57.43
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:17:57.51
Keith
And they they cause i just then I would just take the whole bag as a kid and I would just eat the whole thing.

01:18:03.29
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:18:04.40
Keith
Made you sick as a dog.

01:18:06.30
Jeremy
Keith, did you have anything to add?

01:18:08.31
Keith
um not I mean, I did, but you know, we're we're short on time. And really what I had was um ah just, I just went through and found some some websites. I'm not even going to... promote any of them because they don't do anything for us. But what I would say to the listener is that Black Friday is a great time to, if if you're looking to get stuff, Black Friday is a great time to do. You don't have to go out. You can go online. A lot of stuff has free shipping right now. I found amazing deals on all kinds of stuff out there. Survival kits that were, you know, $250 down to like $98.

01:18:43.66
Jeremy
Mm-hmm.

01:18:44.06
Keith
i I'll put some of them in the show notes so that they know what I'm talking about. uh, in an affiliate link for us. And, um, you know, that's pretty much it. ah I wouldn't go into any specific deals, but I will say this. We have a speak pipe from Sean Kelly, who, uh, I may have to cut out his last name.

01:19:04.39
Keith
I got a speak pipe from Sean. Uh, he was in our last speak pipe too, as well. And he's asking a question. So I didn't want to wait whole nother couple of weeks. So if you don't mind, I'm just going to play it real fast and you guys can just listen and go from there.

01:19:15.44
Jeremy
He

01:19:17.73
Keith
And I'll cut this part out, but don't make fun of his voice. There you go

01:19:23.52
Keith
go. Okay.

01:19:24.69
Jeremy
shouldn't have done that. Hmm.

01:19:47.66
Jeremy
Hmm. That's actually a really good one.

01:19:48.97
Buddy
Well,

01:19:50.42
Jeremy
That's extremely good.

01:19:50.72
Keith
Yeah, it's good. and i And I don't know how to answer this one. So I thought I would throw it out here on the, I mean, I've got some answers, but I don't know if it's something that you would actually want to do.

01:19:59.97
Buddy
here's what I've seen. I've seen, you know, both on the top, up high and low with a, not a broomstick, but a thicker, like a giant dowel rod that was perfectly cut, you know, for that.

01:20:12.54
Jeremy
Mm-hmm.

01:20:16.38
Buddy
But, I mean, the biggest thing, And my biggest worry is with glass, big windows and and doors is you can just shatter and walk through. So I don't know.

01:20:25.83
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:20:28.38
Buddy
That's that's ah that's a tough one, man.

01:20:30.30
Jeremy
I know in...

01:20:30.33
Buddy
get ah Get glass breaks for, you know, your your home security with glass breaks. You know, it's about the only thing you could really do that I can see.

01:20:39.85
Jeremy
There's... and In El Paso, and in a lot of places like desert areas... um A lot of people do have the glass doors, but they have a, for lack of a better term, a security, kate like a metal door behind that. And it's not necessarily, it is for security, yes, but in the desert, once those storms start getting kicked up and there's a lot of debris in the air, um getting broken windows and glass doors in places in the desert is actually pretty common.

01:21:14.33
Jeremy
So they have those doors behind them, which is a metallic mesh door to in order to kind of you know absorb the force of that glass and like the most of the material breaking.

01:21:26.65
Jeremy
I have seen that before. And it's an additional door that locks as well.

01:21:32.32
Keith
Hmm. That's a pretty good idea.

01:21:34.07
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:21:34.10
Keith
Yeah.

01:21:34.81
Jeremy
Yeah. But the shattering of the glass part, I mean, that's...

01:21:37.85
Keith
I mean, aside from like putting those, you know, like you see like in New York city, the roll down cage doors that come from them down the bottom and, you know, go over aside from something like that, which I'm sure most people can't afford or want to do.

01:21:42.35
Jeremy
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

01:21:44.19
Buddy
Yeah.

01:21:49.23
Keith
um I, I know from being in the business of, uh, used to build places with these sliding doors and I, I absolutely, I like sliding glass doors. I think it's, it's a, they're cool. but they are unsecure.

01:22:00.64
Keith
You can put the little bar down the bottom. They also have the ones where he can you can put the peg locks in the bottom where you push them in. They lock at the bottom and the top, very secure. But how do you secure the glass? That's really what he's asking.

01:22:12.12
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:22:12.27
Keith
um that That's a great idea what you just said. i know they make a product. It's exactly like a a window tint, but it's clear and it goes on your window. It goes on on glass that you're worried about shattering and it it won't actually shatter.

01:22:22.46
Jeremy
Yes.

01:22:25.61
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:22:25.69
Buddy
Yeah, absolutely, yeah.

01:22:25.89
Keith
It'll just sort of cave in, you know, and it takes a long time. if you if you're thinking about breaking through it, it takes a very long time to get through that. It's a very hard rubberized type of piece of plastic material that sticks to your glass.

01:22:37.72
Jeremy
yeah

01:22:37.77
Keith
How long they last? Do they discolor? I don't know. i don't know the answer that, but mainly they're for people who are afraid of like kids running through them, you know, and that that sort of thing, you know.

01:22:48.02
Jeremy
yeah yeah yeah i uh i know exactly what you're talking about ah but i don't even know i'd have to do some research into where to find it but i do know that they have that translucent film um

01:23:01.27
Keith
Yeah. Yeah.

01:23:02.01
Jeremy
And they also have some of that that's it's thick. Like you can actually, like it has girth. But some of it that they have is not just for the shattering part. It actually blocks out a lot of the UV blue light.

01:23:16.81
Keith
Oh, I've got UV in it too. Yeah.

01:23:18.55
Jeremy
Yeah, yeah.

01:23:19.31
Keith
Um, if you're, if you're somebody with a lot of money, you can go to a bulletproof glass company and they will actually size and cut out these types of doors for you, but they're very expensive.

01:23:19.74
Buddy
yeah

01:23:24.79
Jeremy
You can. Yeah.

01:23:29.94
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah.

01:23:32.39
Buddy
well i'll reach out if that doesn't satisfy you know his his question then i'll reach out to some of the security guys that i know and see what they say

01:23:32.48
Keith
Yeah, we're talking thousands.

01:23:32.88
Jeremy
Yep.

01:23:44.17
Jeremy
Yep.

01:23:44.14
Keith
Yeah, and you might you might also think about early warning. You know, put put some cameras outside. i use the Eufy camera system. Picks up, you know, it's programmed to pick up just humans.

01:23:57.31
Keith
So dogs and other things and cars and stuff won't set it off. But you'll know. You'll get it. You'll get an alarm on your phone immediately. There's anybody right in that vicinity. You can also program in your in your phone.

01:24:07.73
Keith
You can actually program where you want the camera to look and not look. So if there's some trees moving or, you know, if if there's a sidewalk across the way where people are walking, you can block that part out so it's not constantly going off.

01:24:12.32
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:24:20.14
Keith
And this way you'll be notified immediately on your phone. If you have signal wherever you are, if you're in Japan and you, you, you get somebody at your back door trying to thinking about trying to get in your phone's going to go off and it's 911.

01:24:33.57
Keith
Hey, somebody's breaking into my house. I think they have a weapon. That's all you, you don't have to say they have a weapon.

01:24:36.34
Jeremy
yeah

01:24:38.02
Keith
I think they have a weapon and that's it. They're coming out with five freaking cars loaded down with ARs and everything, you know?

01:24:44.38
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. um I do have one ad and that is for, we, we, people always talk about, you know, you you were talking about your stocking stuffers and a lot of people, we talk about knives right now, go to Walmart. They have multi-pack, really good knives and knife sets as gift sets. If you want to go ahead and start stocking up on good knives for yourself, that now is the time to do it.

01:25:13.07
Buddy
Yeah, I cut out my multi-tool out of there because it was kind a Leatherman. I had a Leatherman in there, and I cut it It was kind of pricey, but everybody pretty much, well, I don't know.

01:25:18.07
Jeremy
Yeah. Yeah. yeah

01:25:22.83
Buddy
I mean,

01:25:23.48
Keith
everybody's got a different price level right now. I'm broke as shit. I mean, um I mean, my job is my, is, is my, uh, you know, my bees and my, my home.

01:25:26.58
Buddy
ah yeah. Yeah.

01:25:32.02
Keith
So, you know, I don't have the kind of money, you know, if I want to go buy something really nice, ah you know, that's a Leatherman, that's 115 or 150 bucks. I have to go ask the boss first, you know?

01:25:41.27
Jeremy
and

01:25:41.50
Buddy
You know what my favorite place?

01:25:42.06
Keith
Yeah. There I've never had to ask anybody in my entire life. If I could go buy something, I just did it. And I went and did it and I paid the, the paid the cost later. Now I actually have to ask.

01:25:51.96
Jeremy
yeah wow oh yeah

01:25:53.56
Keith
So.

01:25:53.66
Buddy
You know, my Kryptonite, if you're looking for a blade, Tractor Supply has that, and they put it right by the front door when you walk in. They have two different tables and bins full of just, like, price-down stuff.

01:26:10.94
Buddy
Man, I always find a knife there every time, man.

01:26:11.06
Jeremy
yeah

01:26:13.75
Jeremy
Every time I go into tractor supply, I have to keep my eyes down and on on point.

01:26:18.14
Buddy
Yeah, you got to keep telling yourself.

01:26:18.43
Jeremy
Like I've got to get in and get out.

01:26:20.63
Buddy
Yeah, stay on mission, stay on mission, stay on mission.

01:26:20.70
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:26:24.18
Buddy
Man, i I go to that every time I find a blade, man. it it's It's just like, okay, I know I'm going to get a blade. I'm not going to pay more than $20.

01:26:34.14
Jeremy
Yeah.

01:26:34.42
Buddy
And so, you a lot of them work out.

01:26:36.90
Jeremy
Yep.

01:26:37.05
Buddy
And some of them break, but, you know. But, yeah.

01:26:39.88
