What happens when a summer camping trip turns deadly—and no one saw it coming?
In this gripping episode of Ready-Radio, John Rush and guest Bill Anderson break down the tragic floods that swept through Texas and New Mexico, taking lives and upending entire communities. But instead of answers, the public is getting excuses, political spin, and misplaced outrage. Could situational awareness and personal responsibility have saved lives?
John and Bill explore the difference between reaction and readiness. From failed emergency alerts to misplaced trust in government response, they unpack why self-reliance—not finger-pointing—is the true survival strategy. The conversation dives into real-world
SPEAKER 11 :
This is Ready Radio, preparing you to be ready for anything.
SPEAKER 05 :
Now, here’s your survival guide for Ready Radio, John Rush. And it’s Ready Radio, KLZ 560. 7-11 is the date today for listening to a replay show. Thank you so much for listening. We appreciate it greatly. Bill Anderson joining us today. Bill, welcome. How are you? I’m doing well. How are you, John? Good. You have a good Fourth of July and all that?
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, I spent the Fourth of July holiday weekend building chicken coops. So it’s always a good time to get caught up on stuff.
SPEAKER 05 :
You didn’t fly the coop. You built the coop.
SPEAKER 13 :
I built the coop, and we went and saw them. Fireworks show over there at Clement Park on, what was it, Thursday, and then we went to the Rockies game on Saturday.
SPEAKER 05 :
So we got enough fireworks shows, so of course we just stayed home. Very good. Well, and for a lot of folks that were enjoying fireworks and celebrating the day and all of that, the folks in Texas, which we’re going to talk about today, were not so lucky. Not all of Texas, because Texas is very big, but there are portions of Texas, as we now know, hit extremely hard by flooding this past week actually some flooding in New Mexico as well not near the loss of life there of course that was happening or that has happened I should say in Texas they’re still you know sifting through things and all of that Bill I’ve been watching different videos and you know different folks and businesses and so on that have been affected by that and again one of the things I wanted to talk about today because that’s one of those subjects Bill that Really, as we can tell from these particular floods, they can happen to just about anybody, anytime, anyplace, depending upon the amount of rainfall that is happening at any given time. And here in Colorado with, of course, our canyons and the things that we have and people that camp and go in the wilderness and the woods and so on, we’ll get into a lot of those things because depending upon where you’re at and what you’re doing, you just have to be extra vigilant.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, and I think one of the most irritating things about all this, I’m sure we’ll get into it, is we have a tragedy on our hands. We’ve got, you know, hundreds of people found dead. Right. Another, I don’t know what the number is, missing. And, you know, everybody just wants to politicize it. And it’s just nonsense. It’s a little ridiculous. I agree. Yeah. You know, we can get into that a little bit later, but it’s a little disheartening. You know, I mean, we know people, like, in our neighborhood that, yeah, my aunt and uncle, you know, left town, went down there camping, and they’re gone. Wow. And, you know, we had some people that had moved from our church that actually live down there, and, you know, they’re up on a hill, so they weren’t affected. And I said, oh, but you are affected because your whole community just changed, you know. And so it’s personal. I mean, thank you. you know, kind of ground like that, it doesn’t mean it’s affecting local people. I mean, there’s a lot of people from out of state that are down there visiting, and, you know, you’re here one minute, you’re gone the next, you know, and the frustrating part about all the news outlets and stuff like that is like, oh, it’s Trump’s fault because he cut funding, and it’s just a little ridiculous that, you know, the saying is true, you know, don’t let a good tragedy go to waste or whatever it is.
SPEAKER 04 :
Crisis go to waste.
SPEAKER 13 :
It’s… It’s really disheartening, but it also just kind of reinforces what we talk about here, and that’s, you know, don’t put your hope and your trust in the government. Don’t put your hope and your trust in an emergency broadcast system that may or may not be there. Exactly. You’ve got to have your wits about you, John, and if you’re going to go camp next to a river, you know, you should have this at the forefront of your mind. What if? You know, and hopefully… through the time that we spend here on Fridays, is we at least bring that awareness to people. Because I’m going to tell you, we have to stop relying on other people. That’s what the whole idea of self-sufficiency is. Hey, I can’t count on the government. And you should never put yourself in a position where you’ve got to be at the government’s mercy, per se. Because I tell people in my church all the time, I say, hey, people will let you down. Governments will let you down. Society will let you down. The public defenders, the police, the people that are public servants, I should say, will let you down. And it’s not necessarily their fault, but sometimes they’re strapped.
SPEAKER 05 :
They’re meeting a lot of needs. I’m glad you just said that, Bill. We shouldn’t, by the way, be reliant on… any of those agencies. And frankly, I don’t want to be relying on anybody. I want to be, as you just said, we want to be self-reliant. That’s why we talk about a lot of the things we talk about here. And I don’t want to rely on anybody. Maybe it’s in my DNA from an early age. I don’t know, Bill. I’ve been one of those guys that I just, you know, from an early age, I want to do it myself. You know, let me do it. Let me figure it out. Let me handle it. Let me buy that. Let me do this. Let me do that. You know, you name it. You know, I didn’t want to I didn’t want to have to, you know, I guess rely on anybody else for things. And maybe some of that’s, you know, a little bit of pride. And if that’s the case, then I’ll have to, you know, I guess I’ll have to answer for that separately, Bill. But I think for me, in some cases, it was a little bit of pride that I want to do this myself. I want to say that I’ve accomplished this. I don’t want anybody, you know, taking, you know, not only credit for that, but, you know, I want to be credited for doing X, Y, Z. I don’t want to rely on anybody else to make that happen. That doesn’t mean that you can’t learn, and I have, even from folks like you. So, I mean, I learn daily from all sorts of people. I’m not saying that we can’t learn from others, but I don’t want to be reliant on others.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, that’s a difference, right? I mean, we help each other out. I call you, hey, John, help me here, help me there. Because I don’t know everything, right? But when I just lay on the couch going, John, you’ve got to come save me. You’ve got to come do this for me. I can’t do it without you. That’s a different attitude. And I think some of that also is generational because you’re a little bit older than me, but we’re part of the latchkey, I guess, generation. I remember coming home to an empty house because both my parents worked. If I was hungry, I had to figure it out. There was nobody there to help me along to answer my questions. Some of that’s just ingrained. It is a lot easier, especially with the advent of AI, which we had talked about in the past, and just the resources of, hey, it’s information at the fingertips. I can get this right now. There’s a fine line between Having the information and then actually implementing it, which we’ve talked about, we’ve beat that dead horse over and over and over again. But there is a fine line that you have to understand that, you know, I can’t just sit here and be, hey, take care of my health government, take care of my welfare, take care of my security. Because at the end of the day, they’ve got their own agenda. And while we can get up in arms about it, and that was one of the first things, you know, that conversations I started having with people, they were all mad because the emergency broadcast system wasn’t there. And how dare they? And I’m like, you’re barking up the wrong tree. I mean, yeah, are those things important? Sure. But the mindset is that they’re trusting in the government and telling them that emergency is going to come instead of just taking the position, John, of going, Life sucks. Things are going to happen. And I need to be, here we go, ready for whatever life throws at me.
SPEAKER 05 :
So for those of you listening, and I’m going to cover a few things today, and if we get to all of this, great. If not, we’ve got always next week, Bill. So if we get it all in today, great. If not, we’ve got next week. So I’m not too worried about that end of things. But really on the top of my mind is, to your point earlier, there were people that We’re in this area that weren’t regulars there. There’s, of course, people that had lived in this area. But, you know, we had people that were there that were at camps, and they were camping and doing different things. We have the same thing that happens here in Colorado as well. We can have flash floods. We have had flash floods. We’ve had loss of life. We’ve had some of those things happen right here in our own back door. And some of what I’m going to talk about today, folks, is, yes, it’s kind of specific for – For flooding, although, Bill, some of what we’re going to talk about in the preparedness of things, I think you could even apply to wintertime, heavy snow, things along those lines as well. And what I mean by that is, number one thing that I think people should do that most don’t, by the way, because we rely so much on. know gps and it’s going to take me where i need to go and just follow the instructions and by the way i’m not i’m not against that we all use it and it’s a great tool but when it comes to i’m going to go camping for a week or i’m going to go hunting or i’m going to go do whatever and it’s an area that maybe i’m extremely familiar with or maybe it’s a new area that i’m just entering and what i mean by that bill is again that whole situational awareness do i have a topo map of where i’m going and what i mean by that is what’s upstream what’s downstream you know What’s around me so that as water, if in fact things start to get heavy and water starts to flow, what’s going to happen? In other words, what’s above me to create more of a rush of water? How many channels and other areas, how many other canyons, I guess you could say, Bill, are going to start filling up the area where I’m at that’s going to be upstream? On the same token, this is things folks forget about, is what’s downstream? Are there several culverts, bridges, things like that, to where as all that debris starts to build… It creates its own little dam, therefore backing all of the water up, which, again, is things that happen that most people don’t think about on the front. So my point, Bill, is is knowing where you’re going on the front side and what’s going to be around you. And then I’m going to go one step further and even say for those of you that go out and camp and do things like that. And I know sometimes you just get assigned a slot and that’s all it’s going to be. You don’t have any choice on where you’re going to end up in the campground. Partially, Bill, while I don’t camp anymore, so that’s another discussion. But regardless, I, if I had my ability to choose a campsite, especially now with all of this that’s gone on, I don’t want to be right next to the river, Bill. If I’ve got to walk a little bit to get to the river… So be it. If I can be several feet above the river to even give me a little bit more time to get out of there than what folks next to the river would be, well, of course, that’s what I would want to take. And there’s a lot of those little idiosyncrasies. I’ll throw this to you to get your thoughts. But I just wonder how many people actually do some of the prepping of what I just said.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, I would say very few because a lot of times they’re going to say, oh, well, the campsite developers or the camp, counselors or the people that run the camp, they know what’s best. You know, we put our, again, we put our safety and our trust into those, you know, above us or that are supposedly controlling the situation. And, you know, and I’m not saying that that’s necessarily a bad thing, right? But there’s that whole trust but verify saying that we always have. Right. You know, it’s no different. It’s a mindset. It’s a lifestyle. It’s developing a lifestyle that always is, hey, what am I ready for? You know, when we go into the restaurant, wherever they seat me, you know, sometimes I can go, hey, I don’t want to sit here. Can we sit over here? Sometimes you have that option. Sometimes you don’t. And so it’s like, okay, here’s my spot, whatever it may be. Where’s my exits? What’s the I mean, this is this has to become automatic. Correct. Parking. It even starts before.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s right. That’s right.
SPEAKER 13 :
And part of the courses that we teach, too, is, you know, you can get you can get extreme with it. But I’m going to tell you something, John, this is what I always tell people that that always come back with the statement of, well, that’s a little extreme. That’s a little excessive. And it’s like it’s it’s extreme and excessive until it’s not right.
SPEAKER 04 :
Right. You need it.
SPEAKER 13 :
And yeah. And so it’s like, OK, we’re going to go. we’re going to go on to, to Parker, let’s say, and we’re going to go to the Costco or whatever it is. It’s like, okay, you know, there’s a point where I’m going to plan my route and, you know, I’ve done it so much that I kind of know where I’m going. Oh, there’s a, there’s a part, there’s a jam on Parker road. Okay. Well, what road can I, can I still, you know, divert to, to go? I mean, this comes develop on my mind, but if I’m in a new area, I’m looking at that map or Google or whatever, but a map is always good because you can’t rely on technology. You can’t rely on, hey, I’m always going to have power from my phone. We have that little map and we’re like, all right, let’s plot a course here and oh, by the way, let’s take notes of where’s the police station. And by the way, you can, you know, use technology to do all this. Hey, where’s the closest hospital? Where’s the closest urgent care? Where’s the closest, you know, police station? Where’s the closest, you know, we were up in, I didn’t tell you this story, but we were up in out through Rappaport County Fairgrounds, if you know where that is out there. I got the horse track, and I think, what’s that park out there? Aurora Reservoir, I think it is. We were out there for a gymnastics competition for one of my granddaughters, and a storm turned on, and these things turn on like right now. And hail and hail. My first thought was, where’s the tornado room? Where’s the tornado shelter? And I went, John, again, people think I’m stupid, but I went and found it. And it was locked. And I’m like, well, that does us a lot of good.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, that helps a lot.
SPEAKER 13 :
But at least I knew where it was. And I started, I looked, you know, we went out there. I took a look outside to see the hail falling. And I looked at the almost all public buildings will have an evacuation map. That’s right. Or some kind of a map right there. I took a look at that. That has to become your mindset. It does. So when we pull into the parking lot, hey, how am I getting out of this parking lot? When I go into the restaurant, how am I getting out? So now to carry on to bring this full circle back to your question, hey, I’m camping here. Okay, what’s the highest hill? And listen, you get into the practice, John, it doesn’t take a long time. You’re not talking about a 20-minute, half-hour, even an hour research project. Once you start to develop these skills, you’ll start to recognize them. It becomes a lifestyle, and you’ll be like, okay, hey, there’s a high point. Here’s a low point. Oh, there’s a weakness here. There’s a danger here. remember when we used to go camping what do they tell you don’t camp underneath lee trims and you know dead burnt trees and you know you start to think about these things because the stuff could fall on you this is this is what they taught us you know way back when boy scouts or whatever it was just your basic stuff you know that everybody kind of learned when they were young that those things are forgotten now because this is what and this is the danger of the political system this is the danger of ai this is the danger of all this stuff Because what they’re saying, John, is, hey, trust us. You can trust us. Trust the science, John. And everybody’s like, oh, yeah, this guy said trust the science. But nobody knows what the science even is.
SPEAKER 05 :
Great point. Great point. John and Cheyenne, you’ve got some comments as well. Go ahead, sir. You’re welcome.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, first thing I want to throw out there is I got to throw a big shout out to T-Mobile and Starlink. I signed up for the beta. for Starlink texting. And I’ve used it a bunch of times. I’ve been up in zero cell service, no for a fact, because I’ve hiked these trails. And all of a sudden, my phone buzzes, I get a text, you’re connected to Starlink, or they call it T-Space or something. But it tells me I’m connected and I can communicate. And I read the beta test is just about over, and I think my plan will have it automatically, but I’m going to sign up for it even if it doesn’t. But I also read on T-Mobile’s website, if you’re a Verizon or an AT&T customer, you can sign up for like a $10 a month fee.
SPEAKER 13 :
And that right there… John, can I cut in real quick? Because I… Sure. Listen, I tried and tried and tried to get in that beta test. They accepted me. I happen to have Verizon… It was a major pain, and it never went through. I had to contact Verizon for another e-chip number, and it was a mess. Oh, man. I was really struggling with it, but I was super excited about that. It’s even got me thinking I’ve been a Verizon customer since the 90s. But I’m like, man, maybe I should switch. That’s why they’re doing it. Yeah, I’m glad you’re getting success for that. But I wanted to share, I tried and tried and tried. And as a Verizon customer, it was very hard. And I never even was successful at it.
SPEAKER 12 :
Three years ago, we got caught in a massive downpour, hailstorm coming out of the Wind River Range. We got drenched. I mean, we were heading for the car, so that was the only good thing. But there wasn’t one dry stitch of clothes on us when we got to the car. And my wife’s phone got soaked. And it was dead. And my daughter, who was Navy at the time, she’s currently retired, she said, Dad, go to T-Mobile. You’re a vet. They’ll give you a great price. So I went. And they said, well, you don’t need to give us your vet price because you’re over 55. We’ll give you your senior price. So either way. And I cut my bill down. From T-Mobile, going from Verizon, going to T-Mobile, transferred my number and everything, did not change anything, got a new phone, cut my bill in half for the last three months.
SPEAKER 04 :
Good for you.
SPEAKER 12 :
And so before you extend the contract again or think about it, shop around. The other thing I tell people, and John, I’m sorry, we got off this subject.
SPEAKER 05 :
You’re fine. No, this is good info because it still applies to what we’re talking about.
SPEAKER 12 :
There’s a website called CellMapper.
SPEAKER 04 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 12 :
And you can look up the nearest, and I’m not saying the service coverage, those maps are not super accurate. This will show you the nearest cell tower to your house. So then if you’re like me, I’m out in the middle of nowhere. If you’re making a decision on who you’re going to go with as a provider, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, whoever, well, if you live out a little rural, you know, you might want to get the service on the cell tower closest to your house.
SPEAKER 04 :
Great point. Not have to worry about it. Great point.
SPEAKER 12 :
So, but going back to what you were talking about, when we go backpacking and we backpack all the time and, you know, but we were going to go today and there’s a forecast for thunderstorms in the mountains. So we said, ah, we’ll just go, you know, overnight tonight to this afternoon into overnight. We’re like, eh, we’ll just go for a long day hike tomorrow. And that’s what people don’t do. They don’t look at the weather forecast and say, okay, do I really want to go spend a night in the rain, or do we want to just forego camping overnight?
SPEAKER 04 :
You know what I mean?
SPEAKER 12 :
And that’s what gets you in trouble. The same thing, what Bill says, we do that all the time. If you go backpacking in the national forest, you’ll see signs. Mostly it’s no camping within 100 feet of any water source and 100 feet of the trail. So they’re telling you right away, don’t camp next to the river in case something happens, the creek, the stream, whatever it is. We always look for a little higher spot on the opposite. So say you’re hiking along or backpacking along a creek trail. We’ll always try to find on the opposite side of the trail from the creek. So maybe we’re 200 feet from the water. Well, I don’t give you enough time if the creek does come up to even worry about it, but If you’re even thinking about that, go up 100 feet in elevation. Find a better camp because people just don’t know that. And the other thing, and we bought this years ago for the Wind Rivers. We have the maps of it, and they came laminated. And Bill’s going to love this. I got an old grease pencil, and I map my route with a grease pencil on the map in my pocket, even though I’m using Onyx Backcountry, which is a great, great app. And it works without, you can download your route and map to your phone and then have offline maps and it’ll track you and it’ll let you know where you are. And it’s a great thing. Having that map in my pocket and that compass in my backpack just is an added level that if we get lost, where are we? And then the other thing is I see so many people doing this and I’m going to encourage everyone again. is get a water filter. They’re $30. They’re $40. Throw it in your day pack. This way, you’re never without at least some drinking water. Great idea. Did I tell you my wife’s cousin, he did the Colorado Trail. 27 nights on the trail, 486 miles at 64 years old with a replacement hip. God love him, right? This was a few years back. The last night, he forgot, and he said he was just above Durango. It’s like the last night you camp, and then it’s like a 15-mile hike into Durango, and you’re done, right? If you go in southbound. He forgot to put his tablets in to purify his water because he was using tablets to save weight. Four days after he was back, he got Giardia.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, no.
SPEAKER 12 :
And he said he lost as much weight with the Giardia while the antibiotics cleaned it up than he did walking 486 miles in 27 days. That’s how bad it is. Wow. So that’s why I tell everybody, even if you don’t want to carry a filter.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 12 :
Go get the drops.
SPEAKER 05 :
Great idea. John, have a good day. You betcha, John. Appreciate you very much. Great segue. We’ll come right back. Myself, Bill Anderson, Ready Radio. It’s ready-radio.com, KLZ 560.

SPEAKER 05 :
And we are back. Ready Radio. KLZ 560. Myself, Bill Anderson. John from Shan calling a moment ago. And, Bill, in lieu of that, you were looking through the break and sending me some things along the lines of, you know, how to handle the water situation and so on. And I would say that, you know, if you find yourself in that situation, and one way to be prepared, and John is spot on. A, the communication thing is huge. B, having fresh water, drinking water, as you know, Bill, depending upon where you’re at, your circumstances, what’s around you, and so on, having fresh drinking water, you just can’t go without it. It’s a must.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, and that’s something that we really have to keep at the forefront of our mind because… you know, John nailed it on the head, right? You know, let’s just say all kinds of things go crazy. Your biggest threat is sickness and disease. And so, you know, now let’s go back to this flood topic real quick. You know, why I told our friends that had moved and now live there that, oh, they’re okay. I said, well, now you’ve got contaminated water. I’m not going to say the water was good to begin with, but now you’ve got, you know, unfortunately dead bodies in there. You’ve got dead animals in there. You’ve got you know, septics that could be leach fields that could be overflowed now into that water system. And you think, oh, I’m next to a river. I’m good. I’ve got water. And it’s like, man, that’ll kill you faster than anything is getting sickness, you know, from the water. That’s right. And so there’s, you know, there’s a couple options. I mean, even Costco at one point had a, I think it was like a three or a four pack of the little mini life straws. That’s right. You know, pretty, pretty small.
SPEAKER 05 :
I buy those anytime they’re on sale just to throw them in the bags and have them.
SPEAKER 13 :
And there’s debate of like, well, you know, Hey, at least something’s better than nothing is my point, you know, and it might just get what you need to get out. There’s also a water bottle that I have called the grail. And it’s a water bottle, and you scoop up your water out of whatever, but it has a self-contained filtering water system. So you press it down, and it kind of works somewhat like a Berkey maybe without the pressing mechanism, but it has that kind of a filtration in it. And then the other one that I have, it’s really small, but it’s called the H2Go, and it’s about $120 or so on Amazon. The Grail is about $100 on Amazon, and I have all of these, by the way. But the Grail is a little device that actually you can make your own, like hydrogen peroxide, kind of a bleach solution, if you will, that you can dump into a source of water to purify it. So you’re basically becoming your own water purification plant with that little system. And I don’t understand all the ins and outs with it, But from what I can understand, I mean, that’s a pretty solid thing. This is something that they use in third world countries to purify wells and water barrels. And, you know, if I’ve collected, you know, like an IBC tote, I was asking you for some IBC totes a couple weeks ago, or a 55-gallon rain barrel, you know, I don’t want to just go out there and crack that and start drinking. And it’s like, man, I might need to purify that. So I go to this H2Go and create the little solution, a couple of drops in a 55-gallon barrel. Guess what? I’ve got purified water. And, you know, people could say, well, you could carry bleach. But, you know, now I’m starting to add more things. At the house, it’s not that big a deal. But, you know, hey, this is on my bodies. I have this. on the go. And now if I’m wherever I am, I can purify water that way too. But that’s a, that’s a big thing. Water is a huge deal. It can, it can come in a flood, right? It can also come contaminated. Right. And we got to have water to live.
SPEAKER 04 :
Right.
SPEAKER 13 :
And so, you know, you get super thirsty, you’re going to be like, I’m literally dying of thirst. So I’m going to go ahead and drink that water. It may be fine for a little bit, but then as John said, three, four days later, you know, you’re going to die because, you know, now you’ve got diarrhea, which is going to make you more dehydrated. And, you know, it goes on and on and on.
SPEAKER 05 :
Absolutely. I did get a question in because this is a little bit off topic, but it goes to the preparedness end of things. Somebody said that they started using the gravity-powered irrigation garden pots, the Ola terracotta pots, and wanted to know if you use those. I don’t, so I don’t have any familiarity with those at all. Bill, do you use those?
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, remember the… the tower garden that I told you about that I had in the box for four years. I’ve got those in a box too. I was turned on to them from the movie homestead and they had them. And so if you have angel network, you can go into a little behind the scenes. They have a little mini series on homestead. They kind of like based on the movie, here’s how you can create your own homestead. And they actually talked about those. And so it’s, it’s like a little five gallon bucket or whatever with a, you know, a drip system or a little quarter-inch line that goes down into these terracottas that you put. And the only reason I have not used them is because all of my beds already have drip lines in them. That’s the only reason. But, hey, that’s a great way to go because, you know, if you don’t have, like, let’s say your bed’s, you know, away from the house and it’s like, okay, I’ve got to run sprinkler lines all the way out there or I’ve got to put this. You know, it’s no energy required. So I have some, but I can’t speak from experience because, yeah, they’re still in the box.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, good to know. All right, going back to you guys, you know, being prepared and the water thing we’ve talked about. And, Bill, before we move on to it, I want to make sure that you threw out there, too, and we’re getting several different things from folk on, you know, what type of filtration to use. And what I would say on that, I think everybody’s sort of got their own thing that they like, Bill. And I’m not going to say one is, you know— Some will, but I’m not sold on anyone. As long as you’ve got something that you know, you are familiar with, you can go ahead and get the water purified. You’re able to drink it. I’m one of those, Bill, where you just do your research, make sure it’s not some fly-by-night company that’s not going to do its job because, to your point, the last thing you’d want to do is be sick. But all of these have the ability for you to review, check them out, test them out. There’s also, like you say all the time, Bill, plan ahead, do some testing on the front side. There’s plenty of water around where you could actually test these to see whether or not they’re going to filter out or not. Here’s my view on it. Once you find something you like, just stick with it.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah. It has multiple systems. I’m always a big believer in that, right? Because even, let’s say you’ve got the H2Go, which does require electricity to run. You can charge it from a USB, a solar, whatever. But let’s say, oh, my goodness, my device is not charged. So what am I going to do? I’ve got to wait for this thing to charge up. So now I go to my backup thing. And you also have to… Ask the question, what’s the context here? So, you know, in the house, I’m on a well. And the first thing I would do if I were you on a well is, one, make sure I’ve got power to continue to operate the well. And then the very next thing I would do, just personal opinion, is I would put in a reverse osmosis system. Because even though you have a well, and, you know, I was one of those people that went around, I was like, oh, yeah, I’ve got a well, I’m good. Hey, listen, the water can become contaminated through the groundwater as well. And one of the problems with the well water is, you know, are you testing it? You don’t know what you got in there. Something could have seeped in there, you know, and you could be thinking you’re good to go because you’re on, quote, well water. But yet, man, you’re, you know, like here’s a perfect example. And something I’m very concerned about right now is I’ve got this like teal tint tank. at the bottom of my shower, and I’m like, what in the world is all this? I was thinking maybe it was the hydrogen peroxide system. We took that out. I still have it. Got water softeners, still got all that stuff. Now my reverse osmosis is just for my drinking water. It’s not for the everyday water. But we did a little search online, and it’s like, oh, that’s an indication that your copper pipes are starting to deteriorate because your water is so acidic. And I’m like, holy cow. And, you know, the Internet, of course, maybe there’s an expert out there that could chime in. But they’re like, replace those copper lines quickly because you’re now getting that into your body. You know, and you’re not drinking it, but your skin’s the biggest organ. So in the shower, you’re absorbing it. That’s right. So, you know, you’ve got to talk context. So in the house, I’m going to have a reverse osmosis system. I’m going to check my water. You can go down to Home Depot and buy a water check thing. It may not be as good as the professionals. There’s probably well companies that can come out there. Maybe they can shock your well, which I don’t know. Maybe you can speak to this, John. But from my understanding, that’s supposed to be done yearly. I’ve never done that before, so I don’t know.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, and that one – I, uh, that’s a new one on me. I’ve never heard of, I mean, I’ve heard of what you’re talking about. I’ve never heard of somebody saying you should do that on an annual basis. So if somebody out there is listening and you want to add to that, please send me a text message. I’ll talk about that. 307-200-8222. That’s a new one on me, Bill. And I, yeah, that’s above my pay grade. Let’s just say it that way. I don’t know.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah. And you could talk about, yeah, you could just throw some bleach down your well, but then the, you know, the The internet research there was like, you got to be careful because you just got to use the proper amount. And I guess there’s well companies that will come out and do an annual service for, I don’t know, but, you know, kind of going back to, hey, we better start thinking about our water. Now, here’s the thing with city water, right? When they put out a water advisory or a don’t drink your tap water. Guess what? They’ve done that after they’ve already found it. There’s a problem already.
SPEAKER 03 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 13 :
How many hours, how many days have you already been drinking it before they said, oh, hey, we’ve got a problem? So I’m sorry. I’m rambling on.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, no, you’re fine. It’s all good stuff. Okay, so really quick before we take another break here, which I’ll probably just run this one out a little while anyway, so we’re good. on the whole preparedness thing on, you know, you’re going to go to an area that maybe you’re not familiar with. You’re, you know, you’ve planned. And by the way, Bill, here’s the other thing I think that happens at times, and I don’t know about what happened in Texas as far as this goes, but sometimes there’s group trips where somebody gets the big idea of, hey, let’s go to such and such. And so then, you know, three or four other families decide, okay, well, you know what, we’ll tag along as well. Before you know it, you’ve got you know different groups and there may be three four different families going to a particular area you know one person is kind of the the quote unquote you know organizer comptroller whatever you want to call them and everybody else for let’s just say bill i’m not exaggerating when i say this i think everybody else is sort of tagging along well the The thing I guess you’d have to ask in that is, you know, who’s in charge? What kind of research has been done? I’m not tagging along without finding out exactly where are we going, what’s going to be the setup, all of these different things. And I think that’s wise for any of you listening where I get this all the time. I had two actually, believe it or not, not this week, but week before 4th of July, Independence Day. I had two different people from Drive Radio where they were buying campers and pickup trucks and Number one, asking me, you know, do I have everything all hooked up correctly? Do I have the right truck? Blah, blah, blah. So anyways, go through all that process. And I’m thinking, OK, these are folks that are just getting into that world, which is great, Bill. I’m not against that at all. In fact, more power to you. It’s a fun thing to do. Go for it. Do it. I’ve been there, done that, and I’ve moved on. But, hey, it’s, you know, everybody teach their own. If they want to go do it, that’s great. But this is, you know, to those people, especially, Bill, where you’ve never really done this, A lot of what you and I are talking about right now, especially when you’re now hauling truck, camper gear and so on, you really need to be investigating, OK, what am I doing to get there? What am I crossing, by the way, to get there? Are there big, you know, streams, ravines, things like that, where I’m crossing to get to where I’m going, that if there were some big flash flood there, and that’s now gone, how am I getting out? You may find yourself in a very abandoned situation to where a truck and rig, you know, the camper and truck are not leaving that until said road is repaired. These are things, Bill, that I don’t think most think about.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, absolutely. They’re just complacent. And again, they’re trusting the system. They’re trusting the safety of their truck, their rig. They’re trusting the system of the the maintenance of the roads and, oh, if something happens, I’ll be notified with my phone. I get these little weather alerts in town, you know, kind of going back to John’s. I’m super frustrated with Verizon because at my house, which used to have a great signal, I am now roaming. I don’t know what the heck changed. I didn’t move. I don’t think the tower moved, but, you know, I’m like, I’m roaming at my house. This is ridiculous. So, but anyway, you know, you’re trusting in those things. And it’s like, you know, there was a, I think I’ve said this before on the radio, but there was an old old journeyman friend, electrician that I had. And he says, hey, be great at plan A, but be better at plan B. And that confuses people when they hear that. And I think I may have said this to you before, because people are like, well, shouldn’t you just plan for everything to go right to begin with? And it’s like, well, yeah, but how often does that really happen? Murphy always shows up. You cannot control everything. And so really what that means is be a problem solver, right? Be a problem solver. So, you know, you’re doing something, you’re going somewhere, and it’s like everything’s going to plan, but then all of a sudden, you get a hitch in the giddy up and you’re like, oh my gosh, what am I going to do? Well, okay. Well, you know, you can’t think everything through, but at least I can adjust and move, you know? And when we talk about third party protection, we get into that debate because, you know, you’re the guy with, you know, the maps and the multiple routes and looking at the hospitals and, hey, everybody, here’s my trauma kit and who’s caring and who’s not. You don’t want to be that guy because all your friends are going to be like, all right, this guy’s wacko, right? And it doesn’t mean you stop doing it. It just means you keep it to yourself. You’re still doing it. You’re keeping it to yourself. So we’re going camping with a bunch of people and maybe, quote, somebody else is in charge. Okay, cool, be in charge. But guess what I’m doing in my mind? Okay, if this goes bad, this goes bad. And then when things go bad, I’m now going to take charge. And those that want to join me, great. Those that don’t, I’m sorry. I ain’t got time for you. But I’m going to take charge. I’m going to protect my family, right, and protect myself. You guys want to join me. But I’m not going to. just hand over everything to a quote organizer or a quote leader, I may go along with them. They will make bad choices. And I’ll just note that and be like, okay, yep. You’re going to camp there? Hey, I think I’m going to go over here. That’s right. Or whatever it may be. So you don’t have to be that guy, but you can be that guy.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’ve got a couple of answers really quick on the well end of it, which, by the way, somebody was very correct in this, that a lot of these flood-stricken areas, most of those wells will probably have to be redone once the floodwaters and everything are gone. At least have to be redone. fully tested somebody else said that as a realtor the only time you really need to worry about shocking your well is if it tests positive for fecal matter then you’d have to think about doing something to shock the well but otherwise take test strips do your normal testing like you normally would do and by the way the test strip idea great thing to have on hand probably in some of your preparedness stuff either which by the way you guys you can have either the test strips which anybody has a hot tub or a pool you know all about those on top of that which i’ve gone this direction because it’s so much easier They are now handy little. They’re $35, $40. They’re digital. You put a little bit of water in a cup. You put the sensor in the cup, and it tells you exactly everything going on with the water, and you’re avoiding the test strips by doing that, and it’s all digital readout. It’s really slick.
SPEAKER 13 :
Wow, where do you pick those up?
SPEAKER 05 :
Amazon. I need to get some of those. Amazon.
SPEAKER 13 :
You’ll have to send me a link to that, John.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, I’ll do that. I mean, they’re a piece of cake, and I finally just with having to do checks and different things, I finally said, you know what, I’m done with the test trips. I’m going to go. And that, to me, Bill, probably came out of the car world, repair world for me, because for the longest time we were using different devices to check coolant and different things on the vehicle. And finally that went the electronic stage. And I’m like, oh, man, this is so much easier that once I learned you could do that on just water in general, it’s like, yeah, why am I monkeying around with these test strips when I can use this? Now, for just a bug-out bag or something along those lines, throwing a nice – and this is the key on test strips, by the way, for all of you listening – It’s it’s how should I say this? It’s imperative that if you buy a bottle of test strips, they do expire. You have to make sure that they stay completely sealed. In other words, if you’re going to throw these in a bug out bag, do not open them first. Don’t pull a few out and test have one set. Now, my advice would be, by the way. They sell test strips. If you’re going to put them in your bug-out bag, you can typically buy, and this is going to sound really funky, but you can buy individually wrapped test strips. They typically come in a foil-type pack. If you go look on Amazon or go to a pool store, they’ll have them. I would buy a 12-pack or so of just the foil test strips where they’re each one individual. That way you know they’re staying dry. They’ll pretty much… I don’t want to say they’ll last forever, Bill, but they’ll last a really long time, keep them in a cool, dry place. Those individual strips are just not going to get contaminated any other way, even inside of the plastic bottle. If I were going to throw some in a bug-out bag, that’s what I would use.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, that’s really a great idea. You know, and also, too, it kind of goes back to that whole practice, practice, practice thing. So, you know, you can keep, you know, fresh test strips in there by actually tearing into them and going, let’s just see where the water’s at today. Okay, cool. You know what? I’m getting low. Let’s reorder. You know, it’s that recycling, that pantry kind of a deal. Correct, correct. You can still do it because then you’re also practicing using the test strips because, you know, if you’re anything like me, it’s like, my gosh, I haven’t done this for a few months. Where’s the instructions? I’ve forgotten how to do it all again, and I’ve got to re-familiarize myself, which you can’t keep up on everything, but you get the idea. It’s like, hey, let’s just see where the water’s at this month. Maybe, John, at the house, if you’re on a well, it might not be a bad idea. You’re changing your well filter, your furnace filter, excuse me. You’re changing your whole house water. I do this on the monthly. Hey, maybe I just Just run a little test real quick every month. Just kind of build that routine. You know, on the first of the month, I just knock these things out.
SPEAKER 05 :
Doesn’t take very long. Great idea. Great idea. And again, thank you, by the way, all of you that are texting that back in. I appreciate that. It’s really, you know, water is a big deal. And somebody asked, does my tester test for bacteria? The particular tester I have… Does not. And I would have to look to see if you can add that as another option. I’m assuming you probably could. What I’m testing, I’m not drinking. So I’m not too worried about, you know, I mean, I don’t want bacteria in what you’re even in the hot tub with and so on, Bill. But yeah, I’m not drinking it. So it’s not quite as big of a concern for me as the pH level and the alkalinity and the chlorine level and so on. I’m more worried about that than I actually am the fecal matter, although I’m assuming you can pretty much buy a tester for anything. I guess it’s a matter of how fancy do you want to get, Bill.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, and I imagine if there’s any ounce of – and I could be wrong. Listen, I’m an electrician. I’m a self-defense instructor. I’m not a plumber. I’m not a water expert, so please don’t take it as that. But I would think that if there’s chlorine present – There’s probably not much bacteria.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, that’s – yeah, you know what? I hadn’t thought about that. I don’t know. You’re probably – and I’m not either. I’m not an expert when it comes to that. Maybe I’ll get a water person on here in the future, even Paul the Water Guy, who’s a part of what we do here on KLZ. I could probably get him on at some point and talk a little bit about that. But, by the way, the digital tester that I own – and I’ll send this to you, Bill – they’re $20 on Amazon. So I’ll send you a link, and I’ll send this off, and Producer Ann can actually get this up on our website later. for all of you listening as well so that’s an easy one i mean honestly test strips over time will you’ll spend more than 20 bucks let’s just say it that way yeah that’s that’s that’s money well spent in my opinion right there so i’ll have her add that on to our list and uh i can’t type and talk at the same time so i’ll do this really quick as i’m trying to talk and type at the same time all right so one of the things i was going to mention too and this is guys this is just sort of I want to say common knowledge. I talk about it on Drive Radio a lot. I’m going to talk about it. I probably should even do it here more on not only this program but the daily program, Rush to Reason, and that is this. Flash floods can happen anytime, anyplace. And as a car guy, I will tell you, and I know I’ve said it a lot. I’m probably going to sound like a broken record, but here’s the deal. Cars float. And a lot of people don’t think they will. They think, oh, it’s heavy enough. I can just drive right through that. It’s not a problem. No, with a lot of the cars now today, probably 90% of the cars that are rolling out now, cars, all cars, by the way, I don’t think there’s hardly any frame, you know, body-on-frame cars. There’s a few trucks. There’s a few SUVs. But even most SUVs are made out of a unibody design. All of the unibody designs are more floatable, quote-unquote, than a body-on-frame is. And the reason for that is because, really, Bill, it’s an airtight cabin, if you would. All of the suspension and everything is hooked underneath, not through, but underneath onto the tub, onto the body tub itself, if you would, onto the unibody. And anymore, the door seals and everything else are so good that, yeah, they’ll let water in. But it takes a little bit of time, especially on newer vehicles where those seals and everything are very good. Reality is it doesn’t take a lot of water to float a car. So my point is never drive across something you don’t know how deep it is.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, or cross it on foot, you know. That’s right. That’s right. You know, don’t think that, oh, there’s, you know, that’s only a few inches of water because it definitely can be deceiving. Not only that, but, you know, if it’s muddy or silty underneath there, you get in there, you… You might be stuck in the mud.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 05 :
And then you’re stuck until the water builds, and now you’re floating. That’s right. And if it’s moving, all of what I just said even becomes that much worse because now the water itself is moving. Maybe it’s a situation where there’s a river close by. It’s running across the road, or maybe it’s even running across the bridge itself, but you’re going to go ahead and drive across. Yeah, be very careful with that because it doesn’t take a lot of water to lift the car up and move it to the side, and pretty soon you’re back in the river with the car in a place, Bill, you don’t want to be.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, and if you’re, you know, let’s just say you’re on a street. I mean, I’ve seen times going through Denver here that the flat is flooded. That’s right. You know, and that right over there by Alameda, you know how it dips down? That’s right. I can’t tell you. I’ve gone numerous times through that, and it’s been… you know, a pretty good little chunk of water there. And it’s like, okay, one car floats, now the next car floats, and now all of a sudden you’ve got a pileup, and the whole thing’s blocked of cars that have, you know, floated and drifted because of the The current or whatnot. So, yeah, I mean, it doesn’t even have to happen.
SPEAKER 05 :
No camping or in the wilderness. No. So, yeah. So for some of you that are listening, a lot of this can apply to, you know, your own area. Now, one one thing I wanted to add to Bill was talking earlier about, you know, where do you park? And especially this time of the year where we can have really quick rainstorms that come through. Pay attention, by the way. most parking lots, if not all, will tell you when there’s a low-lying area. In fact, some places will actually use those areas of the parking lot for drainage. It’s done on purpose, and there’ll be signs all around that say, in heavy rain, this area will flood. The last thing you want to do, Bill, is park in an area, go inside the store, come back out an hour later, get your car, and after all the rain has gone by, because you probably stayed in the store while it was raining, which, by the way, is not a bad idea, but now all of a sudden the water’s up to the you know, center line of your door, and you’re wondering, you know, not only how am I going to get to the car, but how am I going to get out of that once I’m there? So make sure you’re paying close attention to those signs, because believe it or not, in this town, they are all over.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, you got to watch. Here’s the thing, right? As I’m thinking about this, I’m like, gosh, John, I’ve never seen those signs. But it’s going to come on the cusp of what I’m going to say. We have to get better at the art of observation. That’s right. And we really do. I mean, it’s situational awareness, however you want to term it. I don’t really care. But you need to be aware of your surroundings. You need to look at the political, the people. You need to look at the geography of whatever you’re doing. And we kind of go back full circle to what we started with when we started talking about this today. It’s like you have to take control. This needs to be your lifestyle. So it’s lifestyle design. And this is how you design your lifestyle is to start paying attention to My surroundings, what’s the possible risks? What’s the possible dangers? You know what? Nine times out of ten, nothing’s going to happen to you. But it’s that one time, John, and you know what? Every time it’s happened to me, not that I’ve been in a flood or anything like that, but most of the time when something bad has gone on, I said to myself, I knew this was going to happen. And I ignored that initial kind of gut feeling. Right? And it’s like, oh, I knew I should have done that. I knew I should have parked over there. It’s easy to say that in hindsight, but I’m going to tell you. More times than not, I’ve had that initial check, and I ignored it.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yep, that’s right. And when you do that and realize it, then it’s a gut check, like, geez, okay, well, I won’t do that again, and usually that’s what happens. But what I’m trying to get everybody to do here, and I know Bill is the same way, is to have those gut checks prior to something bad happening, i.e., all of what we’ve seen happening in Texas with the flooding. We’ve seen flooding in New Mexico. Folks, I’ll tell you this, too. This I can predict, Bill. I think I can say this pretty accurately, knowing where we’re at in the stage of our world and so on. That won’t be the last flood we’ve just seen in Texas. There will be more of them. It’s the way things work, especially us here in the Rocky Mountains where we have such large canyons and surface areas where water runs into V’s and so on. It’s going to happen again, Bill. It’s just a matter of time.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, yeah, and I’m going to slow pitch this one to you, and you can have fun with this one, John. It’s all because of cloud seeding.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, could be. You never know. That one, I’ve done some more research on that. You know what? We can talk about that in a future show. So I’m not going to argue on that one at all, Bill. So, hey, I’ll let you go, Bill.
SPEAKER 03 :
Have a great rest of your week.
SPEAKER 05 :
We’ll talk again Friday. All right. All right, man. Have a good one. And we will be right back again. Ready-radio.com is our website. KLZ 560.

All right, as we come back here and finish things out, most of all, just be prepared. The situational awareness, and one thing to think about, especially for you guys at camp, and you might go into remote areas and so on, is they now make portable Starlink devices whereby you would be constantly, and I know sometimes when you go on these areas you don’t want to be, but you could be constantly connected that way. If there were any kind of an emergency that would come up, you would have the ability to communicate instantly. and or receive communication, so something just to think about. They make portable Starlink devices now for that very reason. Ready-radio.com, again, is our website.
