READY RADIO: Prepared or Just Stockpiled? The Truth About Gear, Skills, and Staying Alive. 5-16-25 by John Rush
SPEAKER 07 :
This is Ready Radio, preparing you to be ready for anything. Now, here’s your survival guide for Ready Radio, John Rush.
SPEAKER 10 :
And welcome, everybody. Ready Radio, KLZ 560. Appreciate y’all joining us today. Live program today on May the 16th. The year is just rolling by. Bill Anderson joining me today as well. Bill, welcome. How are you? I’m doing well. How are you doing? Doing very well. Good to have you back. Hope you had a good time off, and appreciate all you do for us.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes, great to be back.
SPEAKER 10 :
Always. All right. And for those of you listening, maybe for the first time, this is a program that we do weekly, every Friday from 2 to 3. We try to get you prepared, and I always say, for the what-ifs of life. And, Bill, it could be that end-of-the-world type scenario, or it could be, You know, changing a flat tire on the side of the road and what you ought to be prepared for there to taking road trips to traveling, which we’ll get into today to storms and all sorts of things. So being prepared, as we know, Bill, involves all sorts of things, not just that end of the world scenario. Correct.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, it’s just for everyday life. I mean, the little side company we have is Prepped to Protect, and what that really means is that I am prepped to protect against what if. What if I get sick? What if I lose my job? What if a natural disaster happens? What if a local disaster happens? You fill in the blank.
SPEAKER 10 :
Exactly. So for those of you listening, some of you would think, well, yeah, you guys are talking about things that may or may not happen. And, you know, not sure I really want to worry about too many of those things. And, you know, some I think Bill really look at things that way. And, you know, to each his own. You know, I fully get that, you know, there’s different levels of all of this. And yet, on the other hand, there are some people that are 100 percent gung ho. You know, they’re looking out for everything for one of those, you know, end of the world scenarios, Bill. They’re stocking guns and ammo and food and water and shelter and all this stuff. And I’ll throw this out there as well, because I’ve known some of these people. On the same token, Bill, struggled to get that tire changed on the side of the road and may not even know what to do in that particular scenario. And I’m not exaggerating.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, we’ve got to focus on not just necessarily having the tools and the equipment and all the fancy gadgets. We talk quite a bit about your greatest asset is skill and knowledge. The more skill and knowledge you have, actually, the less tools that you’ll need. Very good point. And you also got to practice this stuff, right? We talk about this all the time. What good is learning how to do something in a crisis, learning how to change that tire, in the snowstorm, on the side of the road, you know, now’s not the time to learn that stuff. So it’s just, you know, being prepared for these things. And, you know, I heard a senator, a retired senator, talking the other day, and he made a really good point, John. He said, you know, the most patriotic thing that you can do is be prepared. Because the more I’m prepared, the less of a burden I am on my community and on my country. And in fact, once I can take care of myself and now I’m not longer a burden, but maybe now I’m an asset. Now I can help contribute and take care of maybe some who aren’t as prepared. So that was an interesting thing. We talk about patriotism a lot on this station and on this show particularly, but One of the most patriotic things I can do is to be less of a burden on the country, you know, and on my fellow American citizens.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, and I think some people, Bill, would look at that and say, well, yeah, in times of need, absolutely. Well, no, Bill, like in all times, not just in times of need, but in general on a daily basis, we should be looking at it that way, correct?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, yeah, and it’s, you know, it’s not the… not the extreme of self-sufficiency because that, that term gets thrown around there. And it, you know, it’s like you guys were talking on the radio yesterday about the, the lab meat and the, you know, I kind of chimed in texting you about GMO stuff. And it’s like, you know, there’s some things guys, there’s a lot of things that are not in your control. Right. And so whether you think you’re going to, you know, protect against it all, you’re fooling yourself. But to say that I’m 100% self-sufficient is, is also a fallacy. It’s not true because it’s, I can’t produce my own gasoline. I’m not a refinery. That’s just one example. So we need each other and you need a strong community and you need to get that knowledge and connect with people who can also help. Maybe somebody’s doing something you’re not and you’re able to work together and barter a little bit in building that community. And I think that’s what this show is really all about. Not only you know, getting knowledge out there and getting people to think. And whether you do take action on the stuff we talk about or not, that’s whatever. But at least it’s starting to get you to think. Correct. Correct. Yeah, that’s right, planting the seeds.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, no, I totally agree with you, Bill. You know, planting the seeds where, you know, you may want to do that today. Some others may, you know, you may wait, and then down the road something happens and you remember something we’ve talked about on air or they bought some of the resources, you know, Bill, that we have – talked about things even that you you have available i mean it’s it’s all of that combined and i think for me personally the one thing that i want to make sure we never do on this program is you know quote unquote even though you’re a preacher you know quote unquote preach to others about what they should or shouldn’t do to me i look at this as to each his own you do what you feel you need to do in your life we’re recommending a lot of different things to help you be prepared but ultimately bill You know, they have to be the ones to move forward and decide at what level are they going to be prepared at. And again, that’s that’s different for for everyone. And I think it’s one of the things you and I’ve talked about as well. I do think and this is one thing where I think you need to be a little bit careful, but some have more ability than others. Some some people have. You know, a general mechanical ability where they’ve got the ability to pretty much walk out and fix anything or figure it out and make it run and go and so on. And sometimes, Bill, even with lacking all of the necessary tools to do so because they’ve done it enough, it’s pretty easy for them. It’s second nature. And away they go while the next person may struggle to, frankly, even just get oil topped off or even get the gas filled up properly. It’s one extreme to the other. Although the one thing I think that you have to be careful of when you’re that person that can really do everything is you still have to be prepared as well and have certain things that you have done on the front side. Yeah, you’re handy. Yeah, you have the ability to backfill and, you know, in some cases, Bill, in a moment’s notice. But you can’t rely on just that alone.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, you absolutely can’t. You have to, you know, you have to be ready. I mean, it’s, and people get a little, you know, it’s one extreme or the other when we talk about preparedness and self-sufficient in this very topic, because it seems like there’s two extremes, John, either the guy that’s all in and, you know, really got too much stuff and really no practical skill. I mean, I think I’ve mentioned, I don’t know if I mentioned to you or if you were away that particular show, but at I actually met a guy a couple of weeks ago, and he kind of showed me his room, and he had all this stuff in there, and I was just like, great, have you ever used any of it? And there’s some volatility to the fact, well, I may have not used it, but maybe there’s somebody in my clan that can. Or maybe we run across somebody that, hey, all of a sudden, let’s just say a disaster happens, and now all of a sudden, you know, by happenstance, a doctor show up my door. Well, he’ll know how to use it. So there’s some legitimacy to that. But at the end of the day, I’ve been really, lately when we were on our trip and stuff, I was kind of revisiting the 80-20 principle. Are you familiar with that? Yes. Yeah. And, you know, I’m really looking at that going, there’s so much wisdom in that. And you can apply that even into your preps, right? It’s like, you know, hey, let’s just narrow down maybe what your skill set is. Don’t try to be everything, but be really good at what you are in. Because I tell this to people all the time, like when we go do an electrical job, they’re like, man, you make that look so easy. And instead of busting their chops and going, yeah, I’m so good, I say, well, what do you do? And they say, oh, I’m a financial advisor. And I say, man, there’s no way I could do that. So we need each other. I kind of spin it that way, right? Because
SPEAKER 10 :
And that’s what makes the world go round, you know, but… Well, even the Bible talks about, you know, different parts of the body doing different things. That’s why I’m one, Bill, not to get off track here, but I talk about this on The Daily Show a lot. It’s why I don’t like this whole equity thing that we’ve got going on across the country. Thank you. Therefore, you know, when you go apply for jobs and do different things and all of you out there listening, every one of you have different skill sets and some skill sets, Bill, as you know, bring a higher dollar amount associated with it than what others do. Not saying that one that’s lower paid versus another, there’s problems with that. The reality is, though, there is a difference when it’s all said and done and we are not all equal.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, absolutely. It’s amazing we’re having this conversation right now, because it’s so interesting to me how intertwined my conversations go. And I just taught on this at Church Wednesday, and a lot of these topics are pretty much what I said during my church service when we were talking about Revelation, actually. Amazing. It’s, you know, and that’s one of the modern, where I was at was, you know, the modern ideologies that we’re struggling with today. And one of them is just that, that, hey, everybody’s the same, everybody’s equal. You know, we know that as another term called socialism. Right. But it’s like, no, you know, if I spent… 10 years in school to be a doctor, well, you know what? I should be compensated for that in what I charge. Now, there’s all kinds of arguments, and you can go whatever you want against that statement. how the insurance company, but that’s just beside the point. Let’s just look at the principle, right? You know, if I flip hamburgers, right, I mean, no offense, but anybody can learn that skill relatively easily versus doing brain surgery, right?
SPEAKER 10 :
Or even suturing up, you know, a cut, Bill. I mean, again, there’s two totally different skill sets there.
SPEAKER 03 :
Totally different skill sets. You know, and kind of going back to the Bible, and I know that’s not what it’s about, but, you know, there’s a verse in there that says, raise up a child in which they You know, our bent is the actual, you know, original translation. In other words, that’s right. And what I like to tell people, I says, you know, that’s like a paperclip, right? What do we do when we get a paperclip? Almost every single one of us, we unbend it and re-bend it to do something else. True. To pickle our ear or scratch our ear or to pick our teeth or whatever. It’s like… Whatever, right? And it’s like, no, nothing clips together paper like a paperclip. And that’s what it was made to do. And so when we’re raising up our child or when we’re looking at our skill set, you were created, divinely created and gifted with certain things. And when, when you do those things, they come naturally to you. It’s not awkward. It’s not difficult.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 03 :
And it’s like, that’s, that’s your gifting. Right. And so, you know, we should, we should capitalize on that and we should be really good at those things instead of trying to be really good at something we’re not and allow other people to, to be good at what they’re good at. And, you know, good point.
SPEAKER 10 :
So no, we have a call coming in, Jennifer, you’ve got some comments. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, John, uh, back in the 70s when i was in college i had a psychology professor once tell the entire class about a guy he went to school with who on the day this guy graduated from university with his phd in psychology he’s driving back from the graduation and he gets a flat tire he gets out of the car and he goes and he looks at it and he realizes he has no idea whatsoever what to do about the situation.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. By the way, Jennifer, you know what I’ve done in pretty much most of my career. Not shocked at that. That’s not the first story like that I’ve heard.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, but it’s like the guy was… standing there and saying, I’ve got a PhD, and I don’t know this basic thing.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, there’s a lot of that. Especially today, Jennifer, given that we have eliminated shop class and a lot of those things out of the school system from the time I was actually… A young man that stuff started to leave schools in the early to mid 80s. And I’m not exaggerating on that. And for some of you that had shop class, it maybe was later than that. Count your blessings, because a lot of schools started to drop shop class at about that time, Jennifer. So you think about how many generations we’ve gone now without that. Well, this is why we have some of the things going on we have.
SPEAKER 12 :
Just write a note to somebody in cursive and see what they do with it.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, no comment. No comment. Great comments from you, Jennifer. Absolutely. Thank you very much. Bill, she’s right. And again, and I’m not – you know me. I’m a big one on the trades like you. I feel like we’ve really missed the boat on that. We’ve got a lack of individuals in that your world, mine as well because we just haven’t encouraged kids to go down that path. We’ve taken shop class completely. You know, home ec, shop class, all of that. We’ve taken all of that out of the school system. And in turn, Bill, we’ve gone to this whole, you know, woke equity nonsense. You know, you can switch genders. And again, I’m not getting off target because that’s my daily show. But reality, Bill, is we’ve gotten off track completely. And we wonder why somebody with a Ph.D., as Jennifer said a moment ago, can’t change a tire. Well, there’s reasons for that. And by the way, I think this is a side note, Bill, but I think some of that is planned.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, that’s exactly right. I was waiting for you to open the door for me there because I think a lot of that’s by design, John. Because if the government can dumb down the people, then they need the government more, right? That’s right. You take power away from the people and you start to do that by taking away skill and knowledge, right? That’s the first step in that. And then you start to take care of them when they get fat and lazy.
SPEAKER 10 :
Really quick, with you being a pastor, I did want to insert this because I do think – and again, I get it. This is not a spiritual show and all of that, but it’s my hour. I can do whatever I want to as far as that goes, so I will. I do feel like, Bill, that all of that – yes, to your point, all by design – And I also feel like it’s by design, because if government becomes all-powerful and all-knowing and all-resourceful, and this goes back to your other job being a pastor, what’s the need for God when that exists, Bill?
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, yeah, absolutely. You don’t need any of them. And, you know, we’ve got to be careful with that statement, too, John, because a lot of church people have a problem with preparedness and stuff, too, because they say, hey, God’s going to take care of me. I don’t need to do anything. And it’s like, gosh, the Bible doesn’t say that either. There’s really a lack of really knowing what the Bible says.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s like the guy that continues to pray for a job but never puts an application in, Bill.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, you know, the Bible says you don’t work, you don’t eat. Right. You know, it’s plain as day. It says that if you don’t provide for your own family, you’re worse than an infidel, an unbeliever. So, you know, I mean, come on. You know, nobody in the Bible… You have to have common sense along these lines, Bill. Yeah. God works, and He does miracles, and I’m not going to ever say that He doesn’t. Absolutely. But, you know, we also got to… You know, we can’t just sit back and do nothing.
SPEAKER 10 :
And again, this goes to the whole preparedness thing. He did give us a brain. He gave us critical thinking skills if we use them. We have two arms, two hands. I mean, the majority of people do. Two eyes, two ears. I mean, we’ve got these abilities that God gave us. He’s gifted us with those things, Bill. We have free will. We’ve got the ability to now act upon those things. I think sitting back and just waiting for something else to happen means you’re lazy. I’m sorry to say that, but that’s exactly how I look at it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and then there’s no accountability on you when it doesn’t work out. Now you can pass the buck. That’s really what it boils down to, right?
SPEAKER 10 :
Which, again, not trying to put a sermon out there, but that goes back to our original nature, and on and on we go. I mean, again, that is just the way things are. But to your point, and I agree with you, and I think it happens whether you be in the church, conservative movement, whatever the case may be, this attitude of, well, you know what, it’s all just going to pan out, and I’ll just— I’ll be along for the ride, God’s going to watch out for me. Well, and He will, Bill. I’m not saying that He won’t, but will He watch out better for somebody that has gone through all of the efforts to be more prepared? Not saying that you need to be totally self-sufficient, because yes, you still need Him, but at the end of the day, is He going to help somebody else out that has helped themselves more than that person that never did anything?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, I put it a different way. I put it in this perspective that When we look at that word faith, it’s being fully convinced. The Greek word is pastist. It means to be fully persuaded. Like, the example I always use is, you know, I’m pretty convinced that tomorrow morning the sun’s going to come up. I don’t even really think about it, right? It doesn’t even cross my mind. There’s no doubt. But there’s a thing called an active faith, right? In fact… my true actions, John, will reveal what I really believe, right? If I didn’t believe the sun was going to come up tomorrow, then you better believe I’m going to be like, okay, we better have some lights out, we better have some flashlights ready, we better be ready for this. But see, I’m fully convinced that the sun’s going to come up, so therefore I don’t worry about it, right? And And if I’m fully convinced that a rainstorm’s going to happen, then I’m going to grab a raincoat. I’m going to grab an umbrella. You know, I’m not going to go, well, I guess we’ll see what happens, because then I’m not fully convinced, right? And it’s an active faith. And God uses doctors. God uses other people. He does all these things. He does miracles, too. He parts seas and does this great stuff, you know, but… There’s even the parting of the sea. Moses and the children of Israel had to leave Egypt to get to the sea. Thank you.
SPEAKER 10 :
And they had to make the trek across to get there in the first place, right?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. So nowhere in the Bible does it say, hey, believe and just sit back and hang out and watch the show. Good point. When Jonah tried that, you know, it didn’t work out so well.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, and again, circling back around to just, you know, being prepared on all levels. And, folks, I think, you know, Bill, it’s something you and I really have never— really touched on. And I do think this is where pen and paper, there’s something about pen, paper, that thought process, writing things down. So yes, computers are great, spreadsheets, all of that. You know me, I’m a very technical guy and I’m not against any of that. But sometimes in the thought process, something about having pen and paper really matters. And where I’m going with this is I think for all of you listening, Wouldn’t be a bad idea to, on one side of the equation, you know, what are the needs? If something were to happen, what are the needs? Everything from, you know, I get caught in a snowstorm, I’m driving, I have a flat tire, I need to change a windshield wiper, on down the line we go. But you put all these different needs, and yes, there’s a bunch, and this will be an ongoing list. You’re not going to get all this done in one sitting. In fact, the more you think about it, the more you’re going to ride out. And then, Bill, I think what folks should do is on the other side, you know, draw a line down the middle on the other side, What kind of skill sets or what do you have available to you on hand that will counter all of those needs that are on the other side of the paper? And this is ongoing, Bill. You’re never going to cross out every single thing on that list because hopefully it’s ongoing and you’re continuing to build and build and build. Am I am I thinking correctly that way?
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, you absolutely are. And that list, by the way, John, will never be complete because you can’t anticipate what possibly could happen. That’s right. Who anticipated COVID happening? That’s right. Good point. I mean, maybe there were some people, but no, it kind of came out from nowhere. You know, 10 years ago, you’d have been like, oh, yeah, there’s going to be this disease that’s going to shut the world down for a little while. Nobody would have anticipated that.
SPEAKER 10 :
No, they would have called you Loon if you would have said that, Bill.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, or even the power outage recently that they just had. Spain. Spain, yeah, it escaped me there for a second. But it’s like nobody really anticipated it. That’s a whole topic in itself, by the way. It is, it is. But, you know, yeah, you start brainstorming that. And to your point, something happens neurologically, right? when you write something down versus typing it in your computer. So there’s a different brain connection. That’s right. And different learning and memory processes happen when you physically write it down versus typing it out. Or, you know, I’m a big fan of, as you know, when I’m texting you all the time, I’m doing talk to text because, you know, maybe my hands are occupied. Right, right, right. And it’s like I look back at it and go, what the heck was that? I didn’t say that. I just thought, man, maybe I do stuff like that.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, you bring up a great point. And again, all of you listening, just trying to get you to think outside the box, think a little bit differently than what you would normally think. Even some of you that are into that whole preparedness thing and you listen to the show to see if there’s any other ideas we throw at you. All of you that – everyone out there listening, Bill, is on a different level. And my point is, as we’ve said – This particular list is ongoing. And the other thing that if you’ve got kids, by the way, kids, wife, any other family member that you’re going to be close by that you may have to involve with all of this. The other thing that’s fun, it’s a fun exercise, is get your kids especially involved in this. Okay, if this were to happen, how are we as a family going to counter that? And you could go through all sorts of different scenarios, even starting with something as simple as, hey, there’s a flat tire. Let’s say dad’s not with you guys. What’s the next step you guys are going to do? And kids, I want you to be involved in this as well. Because by the way, mom, you’re driving to the next exit. I don’t care if you ruin the wheel. You’re not changing that tire in the middle of the side of the highway where people are driving by 80 miles an hour. I don’t care. You have permission. I don’t care if you ruin the wheel. You’re driving to the next exit.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, that’s a great exercise, John, because in theory, a lot of things sound good. And then you go out to do something, and you’re like, oh, I didn’t think of that. That wasn’t such a good idea. Me and my wife have that discussion all the time. And she’ll say, well, we’ll just do this. And I’ll be like, oh, well, what if? Oh, I didn’t think about that. And that’s where it’s amazing, to be honest with you. I listen to some of these. these authors that write these books about, you know, doomsday things. And I’m like, man, they’re on a different level. Me too. They’re coming up with some crazy stuff. Me too.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s why I listen to some of those A’s to kind of learn, because I think it expands my thought process at times. Like, oh, I didn’t think about that.
SPEAKER 03 :
Didn’t think of that.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. Like, oh, yeah. Yeah, what if you’re not even able to get back to your home? There was one book I read, Bill, where the guy was an IT expert, and he ended up 2,000 miles away from home when the EMP actually hit, meaning he met a few people along the way, and that’s kind of what the story is about. But he had whatever was in his backpack, which I know you and I will take a break. We’ll come back and talk about some of that because it dovetails into what you and I want to talk about. He literally was in his backpack. That’s what this whole story was about, him then going all the way back 2,000 miles trying to get home.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. Yeah. It’s crazy. I was listening to one when I was on my trip and the guy was like, yeah, we can’t start a fire because the smoke and the smell, the fire drew people and they attacked their camp. And they’re like, no. Oh, I didn’t think about that because everybody’s walking around. Oh, I got a thorough rod. I’m good. And it’s like, yeah, you may not want to start a fire.
SPEAKER 10 :
You may not need that. Good point. Good point.
SPEAKER 03 :
All right.
SPEAKER 10 :
Guys, hang tight. We’ll come back. Bill, I do want to talk about if we’re gone, you’re out, you’re traveling, whatever, what are some of the things you ought to have with you? We’ve done that a little bit in the past, but it’s time to refresh that, especially as we head into the vacation season, especially. Ready Radio, folks, the website ready-radio.com. This is KLZ 560.

SPEAKER 10 :
All right, we are back. Ready Radio, KLZ 560. Bill Anderson with me. Bill, real quick, so folks can find you, what’s your website where they can find you at, sir?
SPEAKER 03 :
Our website is prep2protectco.com. Prep2protectco.com. And we’re kicking off our summer gun classes. And they are filling up quickly. We only can offer a few because, you know, obviously of my limited schedule. So if you’re wanting to get in on those, great. I’ve had actually the chief of police of Lakewood actually was participating in some of our stuff. We’ve also had… Elbert County Sheriff’s deputies say that after taking the class, I have an FBI actual agent that is still an active agent take my class. He said, this is, this is training like I’ve never received in any of all of my training. So it’s definitely something you’re not going to get anywhere in Colorado because we really focus on self-defense. We really focus on the concealed carry aspect of it. And yeah, all of the things that come into play with decision-making and distances and all of that stuff, which I know a lot of people say they do, but we actually do it for sure. Awesome. We have a private range, and we can shoot way differently than you can anywhere else. Very cool.
SPEAKER 10 :
All right, let’s talk about things that folks, when they’re out traveling, again, it’s getting to that time of the year where Memorial Day is next weekend. A lot of folks will even maybe start heading out earlier in the week for sure next weekend. People will be doing things, even if it’s just local, heading to the mountains, barbecuing, whatever it is, Bill, they’ll be out and about. It’s sort of the kickoff to summer. I know summer’s not here until the latter part of June, everybody, but I always get corrected on that. Really, Bill, I think in Colorado, for all of us that have lived here for any length of time, this, for us in Colorado, maybe you guys are transplants or whatever, but I think, Bill, at least in my world, it always has been Memorial Day is kind of the kickoff to summer, right? Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, or Mother’s Day, you know, if you want to extend it to that. But when it stops snowing, we’re good to go. There you go. It’s summer.
SPEAKER 10 :
All right, so as, you know, people are out traveling around doing things, and again, folks, this could be, you know, you could be in the car, you could be in the plane, and there’ll be a little bit of differences here because there’s things you can do not in an airplane that you can’t do on an airplane. For example, you can’t conceal carry and have your gun with you on an airplane. If you try to do that, you’ll end up behind… Bars, most likely, Bill, or you have a big, huge fine, one or the other, liable to lose your weapon as well. You just don’t want to do that. You don’t want to take your gun to the airport. Yes, folks, I know if you’re hunting or if you want to just take your piece with you, you can. You can go through the process of doing, you know, checked guns and all of that. And, yes, that’s legal to do, and you can make all of that happen. I will say, though, Bill, I’ve done it in the past, and it is a major, major, major pain in the rear.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, it can be. It’s interesting because airlines do differ, and also the employees also differ in their opinions on how easy or how difficult that’s going to be of a process for you. Typically, it hasn’t been too difficult for me whenever I’ve taken mine. But it always goes back to the point of my classes, too. Stop saying that the gun is the only answer. I mean, in all honesty, John, if I’m in a plane and something goes down, the last thing I want somebody to do is to fire a shot. That’s just not. Good point. No. There’s other skills. There’s other things that you can do. I’ve got other tools that I can do that, you know, I don’t want that thing going out there. You know, my son-in-law who co-teaches with me, has a saying, he says, you know, imagine that whatever you’re shooting at, behind that is a school bus full of lawyers’ children, because that’s really the reality of it. You know, it’s not the answer. Nine times out of ten, folks, it’s not the answer. Especially in context of self-defense.
SPEAKER 10 :
In light of all of that, as we’re talking about traveling, and it depends on where you’re traveling even. The other thing, too, Bill, that I think a lot of folks have to really think through, because there’s been some stories of late of even folks not checking their luggage thoroughly, evidently, and even having one or two bullets, literally, ammunition that might be kicking around the pocket of a suitcase or whatever. all of a sudden they get to a foreign country where that’s totally against their laws to have, and all of a sudden you’re not home for six months. Folks, you might think I’m exaggerating in that. Go look those stories up. I am not exaggerating, Bill.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, they are true, factual stories for sure. In fact, on this trip I just went through, I went through my backpack, and I found around, and I was like, oh, my goodness, I am so thankful I found this. It’s funny. I’ll tell you, we went on a cruise in the Caribbean, and so we were on a cruise ship, And, you know, it’s so funny because going onto the boat in the little terminal there, they had a sign of all the things you couldn’t carry in there. It was funny. It had a big picture of a hand grenade. And it said, no hand grenades. And I’m like, I wonder how many times that’s been attempted for it to make the sign.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, that’s hilarious. That’s hilarious. I mean, we laugh, but yet you know some of that has happened or they probably wouldn’t have the sign up. Now, really quick, I’m going to give you all a little tip as well. Bill, you do whatever you want to do. You had to go through your bag. Luckily, you found something and so on. i learned a long time ago because i travel a fair amount so i years ago i mean it’s been probably a decade plus now bill that i carry a backpack when i’m on vacation it’s just the natural thing for me to do it’s easier than anything else over your shoulder bag or whatever it’s much easier for me just to have everything i’ve got in a backpack and what i have done outside of my laptop Everything else that I need on vacation, literally for vacation, is in that backpack, and nothing ever leaves that backpack ever. When I get home, it goes on the shelf. When I go to leave, it comes back off. I slip my laptop in it, and off I go. If there’s something in it I use that’s a replenishable type of a thing, wipes, things like that, Bill, I replace those before I put it up on the shelf so the next time I leave, it’s all ready to go. And that backpack does nothing else besides that, knowing that I’m not using it for anything else, so my risk of having anything else fall into that backpack is very minimal.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, that’s a great point. I just am not there with that particular situation with the backpack. But, you know, we’re forever, you know, trying to pack our stuff and getting to wherever we’re going, going, oh, I forgot this or I forgot that. And it’s the same stuff over and over. So I bought the same thing like three or four times because I keep forgetting it. So I told my wife, I said, wait. We need to have a bag with all of our vacation stuff in it, and we don’t need to unpack it. That’s what I do. There’s so much wisdom in that. You are doing exactly.
SPEAKER 10 :
Because I learned just a long time ago that that hassle factor, you know me, I hate hassling. And in my defense, Bill, my time is limited. Yes, I’d go vacations and so on. But even leading up to vacation and getting ready to leave and even getting back and, You know how that is. You’re right back at it. You get thrown right back in. Sometimes I’m even starting before you ever hit the ground. And anyways, long story short, I just needed something to whereby I wasn’t going to be spending a bunch of time doing one or the other. And backpacks aren’t that expensive. So to have a spare one that literally, by the way, is even a little bit smaller than I would probably normally carry around because I don’t need that much stuff. I try to be minimalistic when you go on vacation, so I try to keep things a little smaller just because it’s easier to travel around with less stuff than it is with more stuff. But in turn, Bill, everything that I – again, everything I need on vacation is literally in one place.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, no, there’s so much wisdom in that. And by the way, that serves another purpose. Let’s say something happens and you need to get up and go. Good point. At least now, it could be – somewhat of a go bag depending on what you got in there. You’re right.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, in my world, if I took my regular briefcase and then grabbed that on top of it, there’s probably not much else I would need to really handle what I need to handle because my daily bag has some of my quote-unquote bug-out gear in it. I’ve got things that I can start a fire with. I’ve got extra knives. I’ve got a multi-tool. I’ve got things that I carry on my regular bag all day long. I’m not carrying those things, folks. No, I’m not. And that’s not going to be on my carry-on on the airplane for obvious reasons, Bill. And I don’t want to have to go from one to the other thinking, oh, did I take that out of the bag before I, you know, I’m not doing that. It’s just everything is here. I know it’s TSA compliant. I’m ready to go. No big deal. And my daily bag that I carry around to go to and from the station is completely different. But if I had both of those, I pretty much have everything I need.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And there’s so much wisdom into that. And, you know, I’ll even… even throw another suggestion to you. What if you had a hotel bag, right? And it’s like, oh, I’ve got to leave my house for whatever reason and check into a hotel tonight.
SPEAKER 10 :
Good point.
SPEAKER 03 :
And it’s like, hey, do you have a bag ready with all your toiletries, maybe some extra clothes in there or whatever? It’s called your, and you label this stuff.
SPEAKER 10 :
I actually do. You’re going to laugh at me. I actually do have one of those also.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, so there’s wisdom in that.
SPEAKER 10 :
And the only reason, Bill, is because I learned a long time ago, guys like you and I, I go to enough trade shows and junk like that where I have enough backpacks, as you probably can imagine, to pretty much do anything I want to do because you’re always acquiring another one, and usually they’re freebies. I don’t think I’ve paid for the majority of the backpacks and bags that I own because you get so many freebies from these things you go and do. So what I’ve learned to do is, okay, if you need another bag for whatever, I just go grab a backpack. because, again, they’re easy. Throw it over your shoulder, off you go. I just make different backpacks for different things.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, absolutely. And even if you don’t have that, you know, go to Goodwill or ARC and pick up a cheap one if you’re on a budget. You know, whatever. I mean, there’s so much you can do. You know, the problem is we want to excuse everything. So do you want to or do you want to? You know, a lot of people say, well, I really want to do that. It’s like, no, you don’t. And if it’s just a want to, then it’s a wish.
SPEAKER 04 :
Right.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, when I really want to do something, if I really want to do it, well, then I’m going to do the steps that it takes to accomplish that. You know, I say that a lot to people. They’re like, oh, yeah, I want to do that. And it’s like, do you want to or do you really want to? You know, because most people just wish for it. Good point. It sounds like good, you know. Good point. But it’s pretty easy to do. And, you know, it’s kind of funny because, you know, if you have that hotel bag, with the exception of, you know, the dirty clothes or whatever.
SPEAKER 10 :
Right.
SPEAKER 03 :
You know, you come home, you throw it back on the shelf. Yep.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s what I do. You hit the nail on the… Okay, so, some of the things, and everyone’s going to be a little bit different. Again, Bill, this kind of depends on, A, where are you going? What are you doing? What are some of the basics that you want to have with you when you’re traveling and so on? And I mentioned this a while back, and I’ve even put some links up on it, and these are pretty handy. And, again, I want to be safe when I’m traveling. And there’s all sorts of stories, and there was two of them here midwinter, actually late winter, early in this year, where even one of the national MLB baseball players lost his son due to carbon monoxide poisoning. So, Bill, guess what one of the devices is I carry with me at all times?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, a carbon monoxide detector. I have one in my backpack. Yeah. And you could get small ones, right? Very. I mean, we have HVAC taxes. You know, that’s part of our business, too. And we have those sensors walking in and making sure that, hey, you know, when there’s a gas leak or something, we go through with that sensor. It’s a little handheld deal. You know, it’s not very expensive. But, yeah, you know, you make a valid point because, you know, wherever we’re going, what we’re doing, what we’re traveling on, where we’re traveling to, will limit what we can and cannot take. That’s right. And so if you have the safe travel bag that doesn’t have any possible knives or multi-tools or anything to get pegged in, there you go. But that stuff should be on your persons anyway, and so those are pretty easy to just remember to take them out of your pocket or whatever.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, and that’s one, again, for me, I carry a pocket knife at all times, larger than a pocket knife actually. This is so weird because you couldn’t do this today. I told one of my grandsons the other day that’s in very young, elementary school, eight, nine years of age, I’ve been carrying a pocket knife, Bill, since then, and I’m not exaggerating. I’ve had a wristwatch and a pocket knife. since I was about eight years of age. And, yeah, I know people are thinking, man, that’s weird. No kids do that, especially today, because you couldn’t. You could have the watch, of course. But I guess, Bill, for me, I just learned that so many uses that you can, you know, that a pocket knife help you with, especially the right pocket knife, you could literally, I don’t want to say you could survive only with a pocket knife, but you can do a lot with a pocket knife.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, you can do a lot. You can do a lot. You know, I grew up in Pueblo. you know, south of here. And, you know, I can remember before school, before even going to school, meaning first grade, you know, I had a BB gun, I had a knife, a pocket knife, and I’d, you know, go outside and play like I was a cowboy and shooting things and cutting things. I mean, that was standard day life, everyday life back then, you know. So, yeah, but, you know, those kind of things, you want to take your health because here’s the thing that a is important, right? Am I going to get mugged? Am I going to get attacked or whatever? Yeah. But, you know, let’s remember the bacterial attack. You know, you get cut, you could be the coolest ranger, Rick, you can ever imagine, but you’re not going to survive that bacterial infection. So, you know, things like the carbon monoxide, I carry with me one of those little travel packs of Lysol, and I’m hitting the remote control at the hotel. I’m spraying that because I don’t know what’s been touching that. You know, common light switchers. And don’t think, oh, they’ve got maids for that. Listen, don’t trust anybody, right? I’m going to hit that stuff up.
SPEAKER 10 :
And never drink out of a hotel glass glass, by the way.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, nope. I always take a metal bottle with me. There you go. What’s the plastic one, the Neofim or whatever they call it? Analogies. Analogies, yeah. No, mine’s stainless steel. There’s a couple reasons for that, right? If I need to throw that into a fire to boil water, I can’t. And if I need to knock somebody upside the head, I can.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s right. That’s right. I do the same. Same exact situation, Bill, on that. Now, really quick for those of you listening. Yes, if there’s a plastic cup sealed where you have to open the wrapper to get the cup out, will I drink out of that? Sure, Bill. I have no trouble doing that. But anything else in that room that I would, you know, you’re going to put water in or something along those lines and then drink out of? Yeah, no, not me. Not touching that. Not in a 10-foot pole.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, it’s nasty, right? I just don’t know.
SPEAKER 10 :
And really quick, for those of you listening, I don’t care how high-end or low-end the hotel is, the way it gets cleaned, it’s all the same, Bill.
SPEAKER 03 :
And you know what? Here’s the thing, too. If it doesn’t look dirty, they may not clean it. They may not replace it. They may just say, oh, they didn’t use it. That’s right. I could take a drink out of that cup and put the little plastic little thing over top of it right back on there again.
SPEAKER 10 :
We know the difference. That’s exactly right. Somebody had a question that came in. This is a good question, too, Bill, that we can answer fairly quickly. Do I or you… have any way to keep food cold when the grid fails? So in other words, if there’s no refrigeration, what do you have? Well, and I’ll answer for me. In my case, I have several coolers, the really good solid coolers that in a lot of cases could keep food cold if you really monitored things and kept them in the right place and so on, probably for at least, oh, I’d say at least five days, Bill, some of the heavier Yetis and things like that, They will keep things at least five days, even longer, depending upon where they’re put, how cool it is at night, and so on. Outside of that, I do have a 12-volt, which, again, you’d have to make sure that that thing’s even going to be up and running. And depending upon what kind of a failure there was, it may or may not work. But, yes, I also have a plug-in cooler you can run off of DC that I could use on top of that. But, again, that’s limited depending upon how much power you’re going to end up having.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. And you know, I understand John that there’s medicines that need to be keeps cool, but outside of that, you know, if you’re worried about keeping stuff cold, so there’s a, there’s a power, we got to do a show on power failures and the lessons learned from this latest one, but there’s kind of layers, right? So, you know, common one to two hours, you ain’t worrying about it. You ain’t worried. We did a service change yesterday. That’s like, oh, my food’s going to spoil. I’m like, your food ain’t going to spoil. you know, just don’t open your refrigerator. That’s right.
SPEAKER 10 :
Leave it there. That’s right. It’ll be fine.
SPEAKER 03 :
Five times enough. And I’m like, okay. But anyway, that’s another topic, but it’s like, you know, you’ve got one to two hours, then you’ve got, you know, between that and maybe 48 hours is the next level, you know, and then you’ve got doomsday 48 and beyond. Right. And so you need to layer systems like this, but here’s where I’m getting with this, you know, outside of medicine and, your prep should not be relied upon refrigeration. You need to think a little bit bigger than that. But, you know, we have a little motorhome, and I got a little propane refrigerator in there, so there’s an idea. There you go. Great idea. Propane doesn’t go bad. So you could run, you know, solar. You could get a generator. You could get, you know, like you said, the little 12-volter generator. You can find a propane refrigerator. So these are some other ideas that you can think about refrigeration. But I would encourage you to think past that. Now, again, I know some of you say, well, I’ve got insulin. I’ve got to keep cool and stuff like that. Yes, I understand that. But ice blocks in my freezers, I throw in, I’ll fill up, use juice jugs after we’re finished with them or whatever, milk cartons or whatever, fill them about three-quarters full. water throw them in there guess what you got a block of ice that you know things start going bad hey i can throw that in my refrigerator to help keep the refrigerator cool as well um but try to think beyond that get to your freeze-dried foods get to your canned foods get to you know get learn learn this stuff this is what we’re big on get a freeze dryer get a canner you know learn how to can a mason jar canner a lot of people think can 10 cans i’m talking about jar canning right um You know, you could create a little root cellar just by digging down a little bit into the ground. There’s lots of videos, lots of information on creating a little tiny root cellar, if you will, use the ground. Depending on what time of year it is, you know, in the winter, just throw stuff outside. You could be okay. But, you know, when you’re thinking about – and we’re kind of getting off of our topic here. I know we’ve got to hit that last break. But when you’re thinking about food storage – You know, you need to be six months is your starting point. Yeah, you could start off with three months to get to six months, but six months is your, why do I say six months? Because what does everybody say? Oh, I’ll get a chicken. I’ll throw some seeds in the ground. It’s going to take six months for any of that stuff to start to turn around. So you need to survive in the meantime. Yeah, great point.
SPEAKER 10 :
Great point. And by the way, great question. And as Bill was talking, if you go out and look, this is the one advent of technology. And as things continue to improve, they now make, I’m just looking at this, there’s even a dual zone chest type metal freezer that you could run off of propane. So guys listening, if you want to get super fancy, and again, this comes down to each individual person and what you’re worried the most about. But yeah, they are great. There are those sorts of things, Bill, that are made that if folks are really concerned about some of those things, yes, you can backfill that way, absolutely.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, propane doesn’t go bad.
SPEAKER 10 :
No, in fact, in that case, if you wanted to have, I mean, I don’t know how long one of these fridges would run on a regular bottle, but if you had either one of the tall bottles or three or four little bottles, I am guessing that you could make it through several months. Let me say it that way. I think you can make it quite a long time when it’s all said and done. I’d have to look up the specs on that. But if you don’t open and close the lid a ton and just let it sit, you’re not going to have to do a whole lot.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and then you throw one of those ice jugs in there, too, like I talked about, because that’ll help keep the amber. And then you’re not cycling as much, so you can extend the life of that propane.
SPEAKER 10 :
All right, well, we’ve got about two minutes or so left. Anything else when you’re traveling that you feel is… you know, is a must. Now, for me, it’s having to make sure you’ve got all your charge cords and all of that kind of stuff. And I talked about the carbon monoxide detector. And then, you know, there’s some of the sanitary things that I carry with me on a routine basis. For me, Bill, it’s also called… cash uh and it’s in in multiple denominations that’s something that’s always in my backpack as well because you never know you know i always have some in my pocket but i want to have enough extra just in case you run into something where you need it and on top of that guys you might even want to have a few coin uh in that backpack as well depending upon what you’re doing and needing just having some coin throw a throw a silver dollar or something like that in there if you’ve got three or four of them throw some of those in there as well those could come in handy in a unique situation bill
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and if you’re going to a foreign country, like we went to Costa Rica, you know, grab some of the Colonies. That’s the currency for there. You’ll have some of those on hand, too, you know. So, and of course, you can exchange those at the airports or whatever, you know, and exchange them back when you come back through, whatever. But, yeah, you know, power, battery backups, little things to charge your phone, to charge your, you know, the one that I have actually has batteries in it, so I can charge my flashlight, I can charge my phone, I can… work it back and forth. You know, I have multiple purposes with that. The other thing that I took, going back to that health thing, is that, you know, I’m really big on essential oils. I don’t know if you and I have ever talked too much about that.
SPEAKER 04 :
No, we haven’t.
SPEAKER 03 :
That’s a whole other thing that I’m really into is the natural path. You know, herbs and things. I have, you know, powdered yarrow I take with me. And, you know, yeah, sometimes you get questioned, hey, what’s this from TSA? But most of the time not. But I have this little tiny diffuser that And when we were on our cruise in our cabin, we buy doTERRA oils, not that I’m sponsoring anybody. It’s just a company we buy from. And they have a thing called On Guard, which, you know, helps against, you know, kills bacteria, kills, you know, stuff, cold, flu, that kind of thing. We had that thing cranking in our room all the time, especially when we slept at night. It just helped, you know. You’re dealing with people all over the world. You don’t kind of funk they have. Good point. And then the other thing I also have is I have a travel ozonator. Oh, nice. And that thing will purify the air, too. Yeah, so I always take those with me, too, John. Nice.
SPEAKER 10 :
All right. Bill, I’ll leave you with that. And, again, for all of you listening, we’ll continue to talk more about this. Go check things out on ready-radio.com. Bill’s website is prep2protectco.com.
