I'm the king, back to loving everything.

Bringing change, making it last.

Welcome to episode four-fifty-five of the

Permaculture Pimpcast,

where pimp stands for permaculture is my

passion.

The only pimpcast on planet Earth where we

discuss permaculture, preparedness,

practical living,

and sometimes prostitutes.

Permaculture P-I-M-P, we're so overrated.

In the P-I-P-P-Cast,

where we find our place.

Well, happy Monday to everybody out there.

Yeah, good to be here with you.

I just got here in time out there

weed eating like nobody's business,

but I'll cover that in a minute.

This episode, as always,

brought to you by the Sovereign Health

Summit.

That's going to be October twenty seven

through the thirty first.

TPC will get you five percent off.

nothing wrong with that and if you can't

be there in person you can do so

online and remember barbara o'neill is

going to be headlining this thing you

definitely want to be there also ness's

hemp

Ten percent off with promo code perma.

Y'all, I use that stuff every day,

especially when I go to town,

which I'm probably going to have to do

tomorrow.

So anyway, Nessus Hemp,

you will get ten percent off with promo

code perma.

I want to thank everybody in the house

right now.

How you doing, son?

Pretty good.

It's been a very odd weather day today.

We had some storms roll in this morning.

It started really,

really early this morning.

And then it was pouring like we had

a river going down the road.

And the Weather Channel said it was only

One tenth of an inch,

even though we have massive runoff events

and we have flood warnings.

And now we got some more rain coming

in this evening.

So I have a feeling that there's going

to be something interesting for this

lithium rich area of Texas and Arkansas.

Yeah, I got a feeling.

Well,

we're about to be hit by something too.

But I got to say,

your mom has been saying that that little

DPE Agriculture X device that we have out

there has been blunting some of these

nasty storms.

So I guess we'll find out here in

a little bit.

I was out there weed eating like nobody's

business trying to get ahead of it.

You know,

I make that little power list every day.

And I'm trying to get this stuff knocked

off the list.

I had to go out there,

troubleshoot a doggone freezer,

which I'll come to that in a minute.

But anyway...

so far so good man this thing i'm

seeing i was talking to t from mountain

readiness a little bit earlier today and

um i was telling him man you know

this thing works probably a little bit too

well we got deer doing things that they

have never done before like coming out in

the middle of the day we got birds

all over the place out here birds i've

never heard before birds i've never seen

before so it's kind of a double-edged

sword you're thinking okay man i really

don't want to be courting in the deer

But, you know, at the same time,

it's like they don't even care that I

got bone sauce out here and a lot

of this stuff.

And I'm seeing, man,

I'm seeing deer doing brave things like

practically walking into the garage and

doing all kinds of crazy stuff.

It's like, oh, man,

it's so I'm seeing a massive shift in

wildlife and also pollinators around here.

So I'll keep everybody updated.

But so far, man,

this thing seems to be doing seems to

be having the desired effect out here.

And like Jack ever says, you know,

you know, if they're eating up your stuff,

man, you don't have a garden.

You got a deer garden.

You were going to say.

yeah dad the word got out about mom

the deer were like oh if we go

make friends with this lady then we never

get shot and we get fed and minerals

and probably back scratches if we get

close enough yeah the word got out about

mom that's what happened well the word got

out bad because she's telling me hey you

need to start blasting these guys that's

coming from your mom of all things

Yeah.

So if she says you need to be

blasting these guys and I'm like, okay,

I guess I'll get on board.

Um,

but that brings me back to the freezer.

I guess I'll jump right into, um,

you know, stuff going on here.

Yeah, man.

So we had a fridge and a freezer.

The freezer might be, I don't know,

seven years old, maybe eight.

The fridge is probably two years old and

both of them quit.

Now the freezer, uh,

Um, you know, you can go out there.

I don't know what they want for a

freezer, but one, this size of sun,

I'm talking about that big camouflage one,

one,

this size might cost you about a thousand

bucks these days.

So I'm out here.

This is where some of that AI can

come in handy because I'm out here

troubleshooting this thing.

And yeah, I'm a journeyman electrician,

but electronics.

And there's a reason why heating and air

and refrigeration is an entirely different

field.

It's an entirely, you know,

I know it's cousin.

I can work my way around it.

But I'm using this AI,

this chat GPT to help me troubleshoot this

thing.

And sure enough, got it done.

So, you know,

it's rinky dink part in there that

honestly cost thirty four dollars.

I looked up the part.

It was thirty four bucks,

either thirty four bucks or spend a

thousand bucks.

Had a guy come out here before to

repair it about three years ago,

maybe four.

He came out here,

and I think I'm replacing the part that

he put in.

So I'm guessing he probably cut and pasted

a part that shouldn't have been there in

the first place,

and now I'm going to go to a

place in town and go get the proper

one.

But, yeah, if I couldn't figure this out,

man, we're looking at,

like –

good night, man,

a thousand bucks just to replace this one.

And the other one I got from Lowe's,

that refrigerator freezer combo,

I got that thing from Lowe's maybe two,

maybe three years at the most.

I don't think it's been that long.

And sure enough, it crapped out on me.

So I got to figure out what's wrong

with it.

So folks, I mean,

if there's anything good to come out of

all that's going on right now,

it's forcing a lot of us.

I mean, I don't know any, I mean,

I don't know billionaires.

Well, I know one billionaire,

but outside of that,

Man,

I know people like me that got more

time than money.

And most of us don't have either time

or money because a lot of folks are

working a second job.

And when I got to sit here and

take time out of my day to get

this stuff done, you know,

to a certain level,

I'm thankful because, you know,

I learned another skill.

And I'm thinking also, you know what,

maybe I might want to go back and

go get that HVAC certification after all.

Because, I mean, you know,

having refrigeration is a big deal in my

life.

And you know what,

I could be a blessing to the people

around me too.

So if something goes sideways, you know,

I'd at least have it in my wheelhouse

to get that done.

So anyway, spent a fair amount of time.

And I will say with that chat GPT,

because in the past, son,

you would just go look up a YouTube

video.

So I said, you know what,

let me try this chat GPT and see

what's up.

I said, okay, I got a broken freezer.

Here's the model.

What's wrong with it?

So, I mean,

it was like a dichotomous key, man,

like you would use in science.

So, okay, do this.

Does it work?

Okay, now,

and then it zeroed me in right into

what was going on.

So it was a defrost timer that was

not working on this thing.

So I had me set it manually.

Bam, thing starts running.

And I'm like, okay, well, that's handy.

But now I just got to replace that

timer.

I think, like I said,

it might have been thirty four bucks.

So I'll go get that part in town.

So that's one thing done.

Okay, other things going on around here.

Folks, I know it's getting warmer,

you know,

technically the second day of summer.

Keep your compost watered.

You got to stay on top of that

stuff, especially if you got worms, y'all.

It's got to be way wetter for those

worms.

Let's see what else I've done around here.

Unless you're in the southeast or the

midwest,

Then you want to keep your compost dry.

You can overwater your compost.

You can add too much water and make

it go anaerobic.

So you want to protect it from all

the elements,

the sun from the evaporation and then also

the excess moisture from the rain, too.

So it goes both ways.

Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, son.

So tell them.

So, I mean,

even audio people would hear it as well.

How do you know whether or not your

your compost has enough water in it?

The best test for your compost is if

you take like a handful of it.

And two handfuls making one big handful.

And then you squeeze it together as hard

as you can.

And then you should get one drop of

water to form and fall.

And that's why, you know,

if you have a stream falling,

then you know you have too much water.

If nothing...

you know, falls,

then you might be a little bit too

dry.

Um,

like I've had it before where I squeezed,

like I squazzed it as hard as I

could and then it almost dropped.

Then in that case,

I just add a little bit more water.

Um, but yeah, that,

that's honestly the best test.

And that lets you know whether or not

it's

Yeah, somebody in the chat, I think,

was saying, hey, yeah, do it with salt.

Hey, folks, I do it all.

I mean, we got stuff in jars.

We got stuff freeze-dried.

We got stuff in the freezers.

And a lot of what I like to

put in the freezers also is part of

our harvest, things that do better.

For example,

I got to take a bunch of tomatoes

from last year

thaw them out and I got to make

some more tomato sauce out of it.

And then folks,

if you ever had my tomato sauce,

it is the,

she is knit nothing but freshening.

The only thing that's in that,

in that bottle of sauce that I make

that we didn't have here is wine and

and i could actually with all the currents

out there could actually start growing

that is the wine and the salt and

the pepper that's the only thing in that

sauce that wasn't grown here so or pretty

close to here for the most part but

yeah i like which by the way dad

could you send me that recipe because we

got a bunch of tomatoes coming in

Yes,

and that's the problem is that there

really ain't much of a recipe, man.

I kind of do it with feel.

If I can't get it here,

I like to do it when all the

herbs are coming up.

So the rosemary, the thyme, the oregano,

and especially basil,

all that's coming up at about the same

time.

And all that goes in there, folks,

and it makes a massive difference.

Son, I'll see what I can do.

I'll try to talk you through it.

So some other things we got going on

out here.

I think I talked about the birds,

the pollinators, everybody's loving that,

that little device with that DPE

agriculture X pretty crazy.

Um,

Some other things, on a personal note,

I've started resuming my rebounding.

I used to rebound for about an hour

every day,

kind of gave it up for a little

bit,

and then I started feeling like I was

going backwards,

so I started doing that again.

For those that don't know,

you can do it in place.

You can jog in place, essentially,

but on your toes,

or you can go out there and jump

on the trampoline.

And I've also been doing that fascia

workout from the Human Garage.

Folks, if you haven't checked them out,

you might want to check it out.

Some really good stuff there.

So I started, I was like, okay, well,

they got kind of a fascia thing in

here along with some of the detox.

Let me go ahead and combine some of

this stuff.

You know, in permaculture,

that's what we do.

We combine, we add combined functions.

So I'm back to doing my breath hold

work.

I never did finish that course from Erwin

LaCour.

It's called breathholdwork.com.

very very different breath technique that

you learn it's a static breath hold okay

and when i stop doing it you know

you get busy you stop doing what you

know is helping you and i was up

to like for a static breath hold two

minutes and thirty two seconds i think got

busy with other stuff and never never got

back so i started the program over again

i said okay i'm going to finish this

thing

It's also a meditation practice in there.

And Erwin LaCour's meditation practice is

not at all what you think meditation is.

It's a totally different thing.

In fact,

he claims that meditation does not work

for most people.

And he's probably right.

But his way of doing it is a

hundred and eighty degrees out of anything

you've ever seen out there.

So you're learning how to do a static

breath hold,

learning how to control your autonomic

nervous system to a certain extent.

Also increasing your lung capacity,

which is also I didn't know this before,

which is a.

um a big sign of longevity is your

lung capacity so you're training all of

that all at the same time and it's

going to help in so many other other

ways but anyway before i can intelligently

talk about this thing that's something

else i resumed and um yeah so and

son i don't know about y'all

but I was talking to T earlier,

everybody around here,

everybody I talked to seems to be

suffering from brain fog.

Are you guys having that problem or no?

Yeah.

Oh yeah, for sure.

I mean, even people that like jujitsu,

you can tell in conversation, I mean,

I'm sure you guys notice it here with

me and having the brain frog,

but it's like a very, uh, I guess,

uh,

common thing here like even at jujitsu

people who aren't at all paying attention

to like the stuff that we're talking about

even they're mentioning how much brain fog

that they have like uh there's a dentist

at the jujitsu um at the jujitsu gym

he was talking about like he walked into

a room and completely forgot what he was

supposed to be doing with the patient just

from brain fog

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that's exactly what I'm saying,

but folks,

I'm finding out and I'm not going to

tell you about it just yet,

but I'm finding out that I'm seeing,

I'm moving the needle in a massive way.

Um, with number one,

the fashion workout today was tough

because they sprayed like nobody's

business.

And I'm not sure that thing could have

kept up with all of it.

Um,

So, yeah,

there's a little bit of everything all in

there at the same time.

So I got brain fog.

Everybody else around me seems to have it.

Everybody.

So I'm finding ways to try to mitigate

that.

And diatomaceous earth might be on my

menu.

Let me just say that.

And then finally, folks,

I'm glad we're going to be talking to

Jason from Kentucky Sustainable Living

because if you haven't kept up with the

news as of late,

You know, this, well,

we kind of almost made fun of it.

I think the last time we were talking

about it, son, this peace agreement,

it's in the toilet.

And what I'm going to tell you right

now, folks,

you better be getting your house in order.

You better be getting it in order.

You better be getting all your skills.

And that's why I'm talking about this

brain fog.

It ain't no accident.

In fact,

I want to ask Jason when he comes

on, does he know or is he suffering?

Because everybody I know seems to be

having it in the worst ways that they've

ever had in their lives.

I was talking to T.

Same way with him.

Same way with everybody else around him.

So...

It's, yeah, somebody says there, Donna.

Yeah, good point, Donna.

Heavy metals, exactly.

And that's why I was talking about that

DE and how you can chelate a lot

of that stuff out of you.

And then you might start seeing a little

more clarity.

Personally,

I'm taking the equivalent of about two

teaspoons a day,

getting more minerals in the form of that

Irish sea moss.

I'm not saying it's curing anything

because I have to be really careful about

how I put things here.

Otherwise, they will take us out.

They will cut this feed.

But I'm telling you what,

I learned that tactic, if you will,

from the human garage.

And I'm putting it to work.

And so far, I'm seeing improvement.

I am seeing big improvement.

There's also that product masterpiece out

there that people are getting a lot of

good reviews.

Results from it as well.

But anyway,

coming full circle with this before I kick

it on over to William.

Look, folks, I am being dead serious.

You better be getting your house in order.

If Michael Yan is right,

and I had the pleasure of speaking to

him recently, if he's right, then, folks,

we are about to see some things unfold

that we are not at all prepared for.

Not as a country, not as a city,

not as a town.

Most people individually,

definitely not prepared.

So you better be getting your house in

order because even Trump admitted that if

they didn't make this deal,

that the entire world is going to go

into a global depression.

And with Israel dropping these bombs every

time they come up with a deal and

us, instead of saying, okay,

you're not getting any more of our stuff,

we seem to be doubling down.

And now Trump is doing a one eighty.

And now here they're talking about, oh,

there might there might not be folks get

your house in order.

All right, son,

how's things in your world?

Pretty good.

Just trying to keep up with the pepper

and tomato harvest.

The dog is in competition with the baby

right now because the dog just discovered

that she can eat strawberries out of the

garden.

So now it's a race between the dog

and June to see who's going to get

to the strawberry first.

But other than that,

just harvesting tomatoes like crazy and

trying to get everything put back before

it goes bad and trying to figure out

just...

what exactly we want to do with a

lot of this harvest.

Because you have a bunch of options when

you harvest something.

You can eat it fresh.

You can eat it in a canned version.

You can go ahead and do the value-adding

process and then can it if you want

to.

So that's kind of what we were discussing

earlier today.

Hey, I also, before I forget,

I want to remind people that yesterday,

Stephan and his son came out with the

interview that he did with me and dad

for Father's Day.

In fact,

his son Zach made a little promo for

us that we could play if we wanted

to.

And it's cool with you, Dad.

I'll go ahead and start playing it right

now.

Yeah, fire it up.

Recently,

I'd carry it as a weight on my

shoulder because of poor parenting.

Because of that poor parenting,

there were things that just until a few

years ago... Yeah,

I see it becoming bigger because it's

becoming...

the only alternative in certain cases.

And it's really the only thing that's

fixing up some very, very denuded ground.

And I do what I love.

And but it took me forty eight years

to figure it out.

Thank God William figured this out in his

mid twenties.

There was a point where I was like,

I was holding her and I was looking

at her and I'm kind of internally not

even really like aware of it,

like panicking like man.

It's also probably your biggest investment

in life.

Yeah, boy, did he clean me out.

All righty.

Well, thanks for playing that, son.

It was so cool to be able to

hang out with my friend and mentor,

Stefan Subkoviak.

Folks,

if you're not checking this stuff out,

man,

I am telling y'all you are missing the

boat.

He is by far, I mean,

and it's not just orcharding.

That's what he's well known for,

but there is not a part.

in the world of permaculture that he is

not an expert now he would never tell

you that but he's a guy i look

up to i see them he and his

son like family um you know there's such

a joy to be around and it was

such a joy to be able to kind

of do a father's day show with those

guys so if you can't go over there

check them out check out the permaculture

orchard podcast you're going to be glad

you did and honestly all of his courses

It's some of the best money you're ever

going to spend.

If this is what you plan on doing,

if you plan on making a living doing

this,

or if you plan on feeding your family

and not making a bunch of foolish

mistakes, good night, man.

You go check out Permaculture Orchard

podcast, man,

and Stefan's channel himself, man.

You're going to be so glad you did.

Can't wait to get back up there.

Thank you so much.

Real quick before.

OK,

so for you guys that have watched it

and for you guys that are about to

watch it,

there was a moment in there where I

think Stefan or his son asked what was

like a really awesome memory with my dad.

I want to change it.

Some of the best memories was or not

not best memories,

but like the most memorable moments that

still crack me up and anybody else I

tell to this day are the times that

dad would take me out of school to

go see like X-Men or Lord of the

Rings or whatever it may be.

And then just the whole scenario of dad

calling the school saying, hey,

William's not going to be in today or

be in tomorrow or whatever it may be.

And then them asking why.

And then dad saying,

I'm taking him to a movie.

And then them responding, oh,

that's going to be an unexcused absence.

And then dad's response of like,

he's my son.

Forget your rules.

This is my son.

Yeah, I'm glad, you know,

there are some things about you growing up

that I wish with the benefit of hindsight,

and I'm sure every parent does.

I should have told them, first of all,

I should have never had you in public

school,

should have been homeschooling you.

But honestly, I think,

I think it worked out for the best

in the way that it turned out,

because you become an autodidact.

And there is no every parent should be

teaching their child to be an autodidact.

If you don't know what that means,

it's basically a self-taught person.

You can be an expert at anything.

Just give them the fundamental tools.

That's all you need.

And every one of the founding fathers of

this country were autodidacts.

And I feel like I ought to say

that now that we're approaching July

fourth.

I mean,

Thomas Jefferson would learn an entire

language and not just him,

but a number of others just to read

one book.

How crazy is that?

Back then you would send a kid off

to college to learn advanced Latin and

Greek.

Now we send them off to college to

learn remedial English.

I mean, this is crazy.

What planet are we living on?

So yeah, folks,

teach your kids to be autodidacts.

And yeah,

so there's a whole lot of things I

wish I hadn't done as a parent,

things I wish I could have done better,

but kind of get a second chance with

my grandbaby because all the other,

you know,

all the mistakes I made apparently won't

be made with her.

So that's the beauty.

Remember,

it's a poor pupil that does not surpass

his master.

So William should be a much better dad

than I was,

just like I was a much better dad

than mine was.

Um,

not that the bar was all that high,

but, um, anyway, um, yeah,

there was a comment here I wanted to

cover real quick.

Uh, oh yeah.

My man, Steve Hall.

Glad to see you in the house here.

And here's a guy y'all.

That if you get the benefit of knowing,

I mean, a very wise man,

feel lucky to know him.

And man,

it's been a while since I've seen him,

man.

We got to schedule another gathering so I

can get a download of what Steve and

his son are up to because he's one

of those guys, y'all.

He's been living this life a long,

long time.

And he's wise, wise, wise.

And when he says something,

I really pay attention to it.

And he's saying here,

the bell rings in August.

If you ain't ready, that's unfortunate.

And I have to agree with him.

In fact,

the word I was getting from people like

Michael Young was saying,

you better have your hat.

Well,

it's probably the same thing because he

and a number of others are saying by

the end of July,

it's on.

It's on in a big way.

So keep that in mind, folks.

All right.

So before we go to our guests,

let me go ahead and cover some of

the housekeeping here.

Wellness blanket, y'all.

That little whoopee Michelle has on the

couch every single night.

She's all hugged up in it.

Well,

this thing chills you out in a big,

big way.

And I wish I could tell you about

it,

but she's hogged it up every single night.

But we do have one on the bed,

but it's that time of year to where,

you know,

Shoot, folks,

I ain't putting on that AC unless we

need it.

So anyway,

it's never so cool in here that I

need to put on a blanket.

But anyway,

we got one for the bed as well.

Perma will get you ten percent off.

Also,

if you want some of these balling blue

light blockers, folks,

you got to get them.

I'm telling you,

these blue light blocking glasses,

if you check out the work of people

like Dr. Jack Cruz, Dr. Alexis Cowan,

my man over at Sewing Prosperity, Logan.

Look, folks,

if you're looking at blue light

When the sun goes down with your naked

eye,

you're messing yourself up in a big way,

in a big, big way.

Anyway,

if you want to try to correct it,

bond charge,

off with promo code perma Williams,

holding it up on the screen right now.

And then finally soil saviors.

We've got a link for that down below

folks.

If you can't make ball and compost like

us,

next best thing is get yourself some soil

saviors.

Check out our link below and you will

be off and running.

And then finally, EMP Shield,

fifty bucks off with promo code PERMA.

All right, y'all.

So in lieu of going through,

I see Jason's already in the queue here,

so we're not going to mess around.

So we'll have just more some we'll have

some more time with him.

So here we are, my man,

Jason from Kentucky Sustainable Living.

How you doing, Jason?

Good.

I put my glasses on.

These are my seeing glasses.

I've got some of the burst control,

but mine look a little bit nicer than

yours.

Oh, man.

I didn't see you with those glasses

before, man.

You get the red ones like this with

that hat.

You look like you'd be shot out of

a cannon.

I might, but no,

I've got to have my glasses.

Sometimes my eyes are getting bad.

I mean, you know how it goes.

I'm forty eight now.

Oh, man,

I remember when I was forty eight.

Oh, snap.

And the good old days when I was

forty eight, almost a decade ago.

But anyway, Jason, glad to have you on.

What have you been up to, buddy?

I just got done moving chickens.

We got a bunch of breasties the other

day and they're like,

they're ready to come out and mix with

the other guys.

So I was out catching chickens.

My wife was like, she,

I was down in the office working.

She texted me.

She was like, Hey,

you want to move these chickens?

And I'm like, yeah,

I got time to do that.

So I've been moving chickens this more or

this afternoon.

That's what I'm talking about, man.

Well, Jason, I mean,

I don't know how much of the program

you could hear beforehand.

We were talking about, you know,

how things are heating up.

Everybody kind of had a big,

not everybody, but, you know,

people that were buying it had a huge

sigh of relief when Trump announced right

there during that UFC or somewhere

thereabouts that, hey,

we got a peace deal.

Everything's good.

And then he came down like a ton

of bricks on Israel saying, stop,

you know, firing in Lebanon and all that.

And then it wasn't even twenty four hours

later.

Here we are back to where we were.

Ships aren't moving.

You know,

sulfuric acid isn't going through there.

That's how you make tires.

We got all the other chip makers are

going to be a bond because they can't

get helium.

And then, you know,

a whole lot of fuel is and fertilizer

is not coming in and out of that

place.

So I titled this show our skills,

our lost skills, making a comeback.

I mean, I mean,

what I think that kind of ties us

into what you're doing.

Yeah,

I think the skills are making a comeback.

People, well,

y'all said it before and I've said it

too.

When a Democrat's in office,

everybody is all in a panic.

They're like, oh my gosh,

the sky's falling.

I've got to learn this.

And then a Republican gets in office and

they're like, whoa, yeah, we're saved.

You know, our great grand,

wonderful savior is going to save us.

He done nothing for me.

I mean, gas.

I look today.

Gas is three forty a gallon.

I mean,

diesel fuel is almost five bucks a gallon.

And they keep talking about, oh,

we put these tariffs in.

We're going to get two thousand dollar

checks and all this crap.

I don't want your two thousand dollar

check.

I want gas to go back down to

a dollar fifty a gallon.

back in the day i want food prices

to go back down keep the stupid two

thousand bucks that supposedly we're

getting but it's yeah people are sitting

there going oh well he's he's our grand

glorious savior he ain't done nothing for

me he ain't done nothing for y'all has

he i mean nope yeah

Yeah, he's done some things.

We got a bunch of pedophiles that we

found out when they dropped the Epstein

files that we got a bunch of pedophiles

in the highest echelons of government and

big business,

and not a single one of these clowns

has been arrested.

That's just one of the things.

Second day in office,

he gives half a trillion dollars to the

people building these doggone data

centers.

Sorry, I hit my mic here.

To the people,

half a trillion with a T.

to a bunch of oligarchs in the tech

industry to create a bigger panopticon of

control around us

than we already have.

No,

there ain't one thing that this guy has

done so far.

If anything,

this is turning out to be the biggest

hoax in American history.

But that's, for me, for me,

this is one massive,

massive disappointment.

Thankfully, this time around,

I was believing people like Michael Young

that said, you know what?

And I could see all the telltale signs

that this guy was more polished than spit

and more glitter than grit.

But that brings me down to what you're

doing right now.

Um, you know,

you got an event coming up and it's

going to be here before too long.

And for all these people out there that

are thinking they're chomping at the bit

thinking, okay,

maybe it's the bullet starting to hit the

bone and they're thinking, oh my goodness.

Like I was talking before you got on

here, had to go out here and,

you know,

find a part for this freezer that quit

on me.

If I had to spend it out of

my own pocket,

we're looking at a thousand bucks to

replace this thing,

but I can get it done with a

thirty five dollar part.

And then you got a festival coming up

right now.

Where a lot of people that if they're

trying to brush up on some of these

skills that our great grandparents used to

have, they got an opportunity to do that.

Why don't you tell me what you got

going on there?

We've got – this is – I think

this is going to be our sixth one

maybe.

We started – we were doing it twice

a year, and I'm like,

it's too much to do twice a year.

You're constant planning mode for it.

So I'm like,

let's switch it to one time a year,

middle of the summer.

I mean,

it's ninety-something degrees outside.

Nobody wants to be outside for a festival.

I'm like, we've got air conditioning.

I mean,

our place – William will attest to it.

It's seventy degrees in the whole arena.

Yep.

So we're doing that.

We were more focused originally when we

started this.

We'd have people come in to speak and

people are like, hey,

I can get that off YouTube.

And I'm like, OK, I'm like, cool.

We've got a guy coming in.

Two guys are coming in with their metal

forge.

They're going to be getting the metal hot

and showing you how to make stuff with

hot metal.

I'm like,

you're not going to get that on YouTube.

People people are going to be making.

We've got one lady.

She's like a sourdough expert.

She's going to go through the whole

process of making sourdough.

We've got people that are doing herbal

stuff.

It's not come and listen to somebody speak

all day.

It's multiple workshops, hands-on stuff.

You're actually learning stuff.

And the nice thing about it is like

William did the compost last year.

It doesn't take a whole lot to start

a compost pile.

It's not like getting into beekeeping

where you're, you know,

five hundred to a thousand dollars in and

you've got all these bees and you're like,

man, I'm scared to death of bees.

But people can look at stuff and William

showed people start to finish how to make

compost.

It literally you can you could go home

and start doing it right then.

But you get a taste of it and

you're like, this is something I could do.

So then you go back home and you

test it out.

Dana Russell from Russell Homestead.

Dana has been making compost since.

Pretty much Monday,

she started making compost and she has

been making compost ever since then.

And she calls me and she's like,

I am so glad I came.

She's like,

I've got like three things of compost

going.

She's got extract and teas and all this.

People actually learn this stuff and take

it back home with them.

And it's there's a small barrier to entry.

It's forty five bucks for three days.

Now, OK, Jason,

let me ask also on that forty five

bucks.

Does that count these classes if somebody

wants to attend or is that more of

a la carte kind of thing?

Now,

it's the only thing that is extra on

Tuesday or Thursday before the festival.

We're doing our in-house trauma management

course, which that's trauma medicine,

how to stay alive until EMS gets there.

That's an extra cost onto that.

But the forty five dollars gets you in

the door.

It gets you every workshop we offer,

all the vendors, all the speakers,

forty five bucks.

And that's it.

Wow, that's a killer.

On that trauma course, that's fairly new,

isn't it?

This is the first time you guys yourselves

are teaching at the festival, right?

What made you get into that?

What made you look into that aspect of

preparedness?

The medical stuff is not sexy.

Everybody wants to post a picture of their

new AR- XV on Instagram and be like,

look what I got.

And I've got, you know,

a thousand rounds of ammo.

Nobody,

nobody posts a picture of Instagram with a

case of galls.

And it's like, look what I got.

It's like, you're going to,

you're going to be,

you're going to use medical more than

you're going to use a gun.

And you know, if you're doing it right,

if you're using a gun more than medical,

there's something wrong with you.

Honestly, you're doing it wrong.

But I,

we got into it and we started doing

our first aid kits and medical stuff.

I've met two amazing guys.

Greg knew, uh,

Greg knew lives down around.

He's about an hour,

hour and a half away.

Greg was at a Green Beret and he

did the Eighteen Delta for a while and

then went on to be a warrant officer.

So Greg's got that background.

Greg and I were talking.

I'm like,

we can teach all the trauma management

stuff.

And then Mike Adkins was another Green

Beret.

Mike was like,

I cross train with the Deltas.

He's like, so we can do this.

So I was like,

let's offer an in-house trauma management

class for a reasonable price.

That eight hour class is two hundred

dollars.

Wow.

That's a steal, man.

Speaking of those eighteen deltas, man,

I was in sapper school with one of

them.

And to see those guys actually work was

the most astonishing medical thing I've

ever seen in my life,

because these guys are truly,

truly something special.

So, man, that that's really awesome.

You know, and then, Jason,

now that you brought it up, I mean,

people tend to forget.

that the number one killer in things like

the Civil War, the Revolutionary War,

even all the way up in the World

War One wasn't bullet wounds.

It was it was simple cuts and bruises

and scrapes and trench foot and stuff like

that that killed way more people than

bullets ever did,

especially in things like the Civil War.

I mean, you know,

there's I'm glad you're putting an

emphasis on that, because like you said,

man, that really kind of says it all.

Every time you turn around,

you'll see somebody in this space

I'm never almost ever talking about the

medical concerns when it comes to

preparedness,

because that a bug is more than likely

going to take you out.

Dysentery is going to take you out far

before anybody's bullet ever would.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And it it's just people don't really think

about it because it's not cool and sexy.

And we're putting I'm actually putting a

kit together.

We're going to launch the festival.

It's going to be the KSL clinic in

a box.

It's essentially everything you need.

Like literally,

it's going to be in a waterproof tote.

You can slide it in the back of

your closet.

And a lot of people put emphasis on

the trauma stuff, you know.

the tourniquets, the chest seals,

stuff that EMS will keep you alive till

EMS, but they don't think about, Hey,

if I'm out on the homestead and it's

actual grid down situation,

and I just get a real good nasty

hamburger wound on my cab with a chainsaw,

we're going to have to treat that wound

for, you know, two weeks,

maybe four weeks.

It's like,

you don't have enough equipment in your,

in your IFAC to do that.

So this clinic in a box is going

to have pretty much everything you need to

treat that.

some serious injuries for a long-term

situation.

Man, that's wild.

So the event is in Bowling Green,

Kentucky,

which is worth going to anyway because

it's just a pretty part of Kentucky.

But the actual venue itself is at,

was it Western Kentucky University?

Yeah,

Western Kentucky University at their expo.

It's on their farm,

and they've got a huge expo center inside.

Which the event place by itself is cool

to just see.

And it's awesome to have a homesteading

slash preparedness festival at a venue

like that.

Because it is, like Jason said,

air conditioning.

There's plenty of space for vendors.

There's plenty of space to get away if

you want to as well.

Are you guys going to stick with that

location forever?

Or are you guys planning on switching it

up and going to different locations?

What's the plan on that?

I've never...

My bad, real quick.

Are you planning on going to other states

and doing the Kentucky Sustainable Living?

In the future, no.

I want to keep it right here.

Just the logistics of trying to move it

is crazy.

And I have not found a better place

to have it.

I found one other place up the road,

but it's like they won't let us.

We can do a lot of stuff where

we're at.

And she really doesn't care.

The only drawback to it is we can't

do any tent camping.

And people are like,

I want to tent camp and sit around

a fire and hang out with people.

the only way I would move it is

if I found a venue where we could

tent camp.

And honestly,

I'm really not looking for somewhere

because I don't want to fight for the

spring and fall dates.

I'm like,

let's do it dead in the summertime.

We've got air conditioning and the girl,

the girl that runs the place is amazing.

We,

we get to do all kinds of stuff.

You know, that's a really cool thing.

I'm glad, you know,

most people in the dead of summer, uh,

You know,

are not at all going to be –

you kind of lose them, I guess.

I mean,

because I've been to a lot of events

in the dead of summer,

and you're going to lose a lot of

people just because of the heat.

There was one in Missouri that William and

I and my niece went to,

And it was blazing hot out there.

Now,

I'm a guy that's accustomed to one hundred

and forty degrees in, you know, in in,

you know, a sauna or something like that.

So it's not as big a deal for

me.

But when you got some of these older

folks.

that are touch and go, man,

they're not going to want to go to

an event like that,

or they're going to be so miserable that

they're not taking anything legit away

from it.

So I'm glad, I'm glad, you know,

ordinarily I would,

I would like things in a more rustic

thing, but when you're doing the,

doing it in the middle of summer, um,

I can't think of a better venue.

I, I myself have been there too.

And I remember even with Darren,

I think we were out there processing

chickens or a pig or something.

I can't remember what we did, but, um,

Yeah, folks.

I mean, it's a really,

really awesome venue.

And Bowling Green has that warm spot for

me because I worked on that Corvette plant

up there.

I mean,

there's a lot of cool stuff around there,

too, folks.

If you want to make it a weekend,

I mean, go up to Cave City.

Man,

there's a whole lot of really cool stuff

around there.

that you can check out in Bowling Green.

So, well, Jason, this year, I mean,

you know,

how have you seen this event evolve from

the time you started it?

Well, like I said before,

it evolved where we were just getting

people just to come and speak.

You know, people that I knew, it's like,

hey, come do a talk and everything.

People really didn't like it.

And it's like,

let's move and transition into

more of where you're actually getting your

hands dirty and doing stuff.

One of the biggest times that people liked

last year,

Shelly and I did how to make sausage

and how to start curing bacon.

So literally we had

There were probably twenty to thirty

people sitting there watching us.

We would bring people up and it's like,

hey,

take these butts and start chunking them

out.

So we're grinding it,

showing them our we each did a different

spice spice blend on it.

So we would show them how to mix

the spices and we'd package it up.

Food savor it is ready to go.

We would show them two different ways on

how to start curing the pork bellies.

and do it.

And then once we showed them how to

start to cure,

I would walk them through it.

It's like, hey, every day,

flip these things.

Then after fourteen days,

we take them out,

we rinse them real good,

put them in the refrigerator for overnight

and then smoke it.

Randy does a little bit different than I

do.

I do a cold smoke.

Randy does a warm smoke.

And then it's like after that, wash it,

rinse some of the smoke off of it

and then put it in a refrigerator and

let it firm up and then slice it.

And you're set.

And people are like, dang,

it was that easy.

And I'm like, yeah,

making sausage and bacon is not that hard.

It's not, you know, rocket science.

And people are like gatekeeping it.

So people went home and they're like,

I made homemade sausage the next weekend.

I'm like,

that's what I want you to do.

That's awesome.

Now, okay, so was it last year?

There was one guy in particular that stood

out from everybody else.

You might know who it is,

that lockpick kid.

I can't remember his – what was his

name?

Dayton.

Is he coming back this year?

No,

he's on a – he's doing some kind

of a day wilderness survival or something

right now out west somewhere.

Man,

but that's a testament to the variety of

people you guys have coming out there.

There was everybody from me teaching

compost to other people teaching sourdough

to this awesome seventeen year old kid who

I guess he's an adult now teaching people

how to do like lock picking and stuff

like that.

What are some of the other classes there

that are like unusual things that you

wouldn't typically find at a homesteading

festival?

Well, Billy, one of your guys,

Pat Milachek, is coming out.

He's going to come out and speak.

So Pat's going to be there.

I got the number.

I think William gave me the number.

I just called Pat up and was like,

hey, dude, we're having this festival.

You want to come out and talk and

tell everybody about your product?

He's like, yes, I'll be there.

So I was like, okay.

Crystal is Doomsday Queen on YouTube.

She's coming out.

She's going to be doing a canning demo.

She cans all kinds of stuff.

So she's going to do an actual hands

on full from, you know,

prepping the food to putting it in the

canner to bringing it out.

She's going to do that.

Sean Patrick Tarrow with Mark thirty

seven.

He does ghost phones with the they're

essentially laptops,

tablets and phones have been de-Google.

So Google's not tracking you.

So if you say, hey,

I want a new guitar.

When you pull up your phone next time,

guitar messages aren't all over there and

ads.

So he's gonna talk about your digital

privacy.

We're gonna have the metal forging.

The two guys are gonna have their forge

set up.

be running it we've got a guy and

i forgot the name of his company but

you've seen the show moonshiners on

discovery channel he is the guy he makes

whiskey steels makes he makes them for big

uh big distilleries also but he made most

of the steels for that show he's gonna

have steels all from like a small one

you can put on your stove all the

way up to a bigger one like to

run on a burner

And we're working out the logistics and

the legalities of whether we can run that

steel or not.

So I'm like,

it's easier to ask for forgiveness and

permission on that.

So I'm like,

let's run it and see what happens.

And he's like, we'll see.

But yeah,

so we're probably going to run a whiskey

steel and see what happens with that.

I didn't know it was illegal to make

your own fuel, Jason.

Yeah.

Well, he told me, he said,

the legality of it is, he said,

you can own a steel,

you can make the mash,

but as soon as you pour the mash

in there and light the burner,

you're illegal then.

And I'm like, okay.

But I talked to some of the there's

a guy that comes to church with us

that is ATF guy.

And then the sheriff comes to church with

us and he's like,

just don't let me know.

And he's like,

we can figure something out.

So I was like, cool.

So I was like,

we're going to fire up a whiskey still

regardless.

It might be a dark,

but we're going to fire one up when

nobody's there.

That's cool.

I think that's really awesome.

Um, there was, uh, I mean, there was,

um, yeah,

I think that's a pretty essential skill

when you get down to brass tacks.

I mean, whether it's for cleaning,

whether it's for, I mean,

that alcohol can be used for so many

things.

You can even use it as a heater,

depending on how you make it.

Um, and a bartering tool,

any number of things.

So Jason,

in light of everything that's going on,

I can't think the timing for your show.

And by the way, if you would,

because people are asking them to chat,

Can you tell them where and when one

more time?

It's Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Bowling Green is an hour due north of

Nashville.

So we're due north of Nashville.

It's July.

July.

Do you have the website pinned anywhere?

It'll be in the description.

Okay.

Yeah.

Well,

the website's

KentuckySustainableLiving.com.

All right, cool.

So in this world right now, I mean,

I can't think of a better time to

be putting on.

I mean,

I would hope that the entire doors on

that place will be falling off from people

rolling up in there.

Your price point is incredible.

Um, everything's included minus one class.

And by the way,

you ought to be paying for that anyway,

folks.

And, um,

if you can get there,

I think it'd be,

even if I had a tent camp,

if in these times,

if I didn't have a lot of these

skills, folks,

I'd be on the first thing smoking that

way.

So Jason, in light of all that,

you know, I'm,

I'm putting out and a number of others

are putting out a pretty grim prognosis.

Folks were already having a hard enough

time putting bread on the table,

but I was sitting here thinking as I

was talking to you and trying to come

up with a list of questions, you know,

it really ain't that hard to,

because I know you and, um,

and I live in this world,

I'm sitting here thinking, okay,

because I have the skills I have,

I got eight freezers full of meat out

there.

The inflation ain't doing nothing to me.

You know, we got food out here growing.

William and I were kind of catching up

on what's happening out here.

We got food out here growing out.

I'm eating salad every morning for my own

garden and whatnot.

William's pulling up a bunch of tomatoes.

I mean,

what pitch would you tell anybody out

there that may be on the fence right

now thinking whether or not we ought to

go to this thing,

besides wrapping them in the head with a

tack hammer?

I mean,

what would you tell them if they're

thinking, well, I may or may not go?

The world's not going to get any better

in the foreseeable future.

I tell people, worst case scenario, hey,

you get some chickens.

Then you've got some meat,

you've got some eggs.

Worst case scenario is everything gets

cheaper and you're like, oh,

eggs are back at ninety-nine cents a dozen

or something.

Then I don't have to supplement so much.

And then storing up food and storing up

medical supplies, it's like, cool,

I hope I never have to use those,

but...

You know, if I do, I've got it.

And it's not just a grid down situation.

You know,

it's not a meteorite coming in and

destroying earth like in the movies.

It's like if you've got a job loss,

you've got extra stuff put back.

You've got your chickens out there or

you've got sheep right now.

We've got over a dozen sheep and I'm

having trouble moving these guys because

the grass is growing so much.

It's like.

I've got grass that's two and a half

feet tall that they've not even grazed on

this year just because I've not been able

to move them yet.

And so you can do that.

You've got an abundance and you can't you

can't you can't help somebody from a

point.

You have to help somebody from a point

of abundance.

You know,

if you're if you're broke and you come

to me billions like, hey, man,

I can't make my car payment this month.

Can I borrow five hundred bucks?

And I'm looking, I'm like, dude,

if I give him five hundred bucks,

I can't make the mortgage payment.

So unless you're at a point of abundance,

you can't help anybody else.

So get your life at that point of

abundance and then you can start sharing

with people.

Strawberries.

I mean, we're banging out.

And the strawberries are because of you

and William, honestly.

I came to your food forest class down

at John's at SOE.

I came down to it.

I was like, dude, this is amazing.

Shelly and I did a whole workshop on

planting a food forest.

I've been giving away strawberries.

People at church, I'm like,

there are buckets out there by the food

forest.

If you want strawberries, come pick them.

Just knock on the door and say, hey,

I'm over here to get strawberries.

And people have been coming and getting

strawberries.

And I'm like,

We put like twenty gallons up already.

And I was like,

I've got twenty gallons of berries.

I'm not ever going to eat this many

right now.

I know somebody who could.

My daughter.

She will go through.

She finds out there's strawberries in your

food forest, Jason.

She probably ain't leaving the entire

time.

She's going to hang out,

play with the puppy and then eat

strawberries.

Oh, yeah.

So what are,

what are three skills that you think a

lot of like homesteaders slash people in

the world of preparedness,

what do you think three skills are that

people are overlooking that you guys are

going to have available at your festival?

Or maybe it's not available at your

festival.

What do you think like three skills are

that people are overlooking?

I think medical stuff is a big one.

You should,

you should know how to take somebody's

blood pressure on that and see their blood

pressure just,

and I'm not talking about just straight

tourniquets,

all the sexy stuff I'm talking about.

like how to treat a wound,

how to take a blood pressure,

how to listen to somebody's lungs,

stuff like that, how to treat wounds.

So the medical stuff is a big one.

I think everybody should know how to

preserve food because if we're growing

food,

we need to know how to preserve it,

whether you're freeze drying it, canning,

dehydrating,

whatever you're going to do with it.

Security gets a big nod,

but a lot of people are kind of

squared away on that.

probably water catchment would be a big

one.

I mean, water three days, you know,

without water and you're pretty well

toast.

I think everybody should know how to catch

and collect water and then also purify it.

So if you do those things,

those are big three, you know, food,

water and medical stuff that's going to

keep you alive for a long time.

Jason,

how would you rate community in there?

And the reason why I'm going to bring

this up is my buddy Steve Hall was

in the chat a minute ago.

I don't know if he's still here,

but we both found ourselves at the same

event.

I think the first one William and I

ever went to was out there in Tennessee.

And ran into him out there only to

find out that he lives about an hour

away from me.

Come to find out we're thick as thieves.

I mean,

got the same kind of preparedness mindset

the whole nine yards.

And I had to go plumb over to

the other side of the state to meet

a guy that's just down the road from

me.

How important is community with all this

stuff?

I mean,

it's a rhetorical question of sorts,

but for all you folks out there that

are feeling like

Man, you know,

I see the importance of doing all this.

I just wish there was at least another

human being I could talk to.

How important is that aspect of all these?

It's super important.

And we've had the same thing happen tons

of times.

Our very first festival,

one of my friends came down from almost

Cincinnati, northern Kentucky.

He came down.

He literally met a couple that was like

ten minutes away from him.

And I'm like,

they would have never met if they both

wouldn't have come down.

Community is super important.

Shelly and I have been building a

community here for the last three to four

years.

We've got people that are coming in from

other states that want to move here.

One guy, one of our buddies,

he's selling his place in Alabama.

And he's like,

I'm looking for land between Nashville and

Bowling Green.

He's like,

I want to be closer to what y'all

are doing.

You've got I've got, you know,

fifteen people I could call right now if

I needed something and they would be here.

within thirty minutes to an hour to help

me do something.

And I would do the same thing for

them.

Shelly's daughter last year had a big tree

fall on her chicken coop.

I was there in like forty five minutes

to come and help her.

Some other guys lived a little bit farther

away.

We showed up chainsaws in hand.

We cut this tree out,

got it moved off,

got the chicken coop ready to go.

And you just don't if you don't come

out to events like this and you sit

behind a keyboard all the time or sit

there waiting, you know, well,

God's going to show me these people I

need to meet and they're just going to

show up on my front yard.

It's not going to happen.

You've got to get out and meet people

in person and shake their hand,

eat lunch with them and feel them out.

And you're not going to meet people if

you just sit at home all the time.

everybody there is going to be super

friendly too like i i can't i don't

remember any single jerks that i've ever

met at kentucky sustainable living um but

if you are one of those people that

is looking for community and uh like i

guess social skills is something you lack

or you're shy or whatever it may be

you can come up to any one of

us at the festival and say and just

say that like hey my name is so

and so i'm shy but i'm looking for

community

and there isn't a single like speaker

there that i know of that would like

not help in that situation or if you're

going there to learn a specific thing and

uh like maybe it's not being taught that

at that particular festival um but you

know somebody who knows something about it

you can ask i mean all of us

are available all the entire festival i

mean i think the only people who aren't

uh like available a hundred percent of the

time is jason and shelly because they're

running around

Putting out fires.

So just a heads up,

don't mess with Jason and Shelly.

Let them do their thing.

Come mess with us.

Come mess with the speakers and everything

like that.

In the afternoon is when I get time

to sit down and relax and talk.

So if we want to talk,

we can do it later in the afternoon.

And like William said,

all the speakers are there the whole time.

There's no VIP ticket to get in this

special room to sit down.

And if you want to talk to William

or if you want to talk to Pat

or any of these other people,

it's like they're just walking around the

whole time.

And nobody, nobody.

Every now and then somebody is like, hey,

I need ten minutes.

It's like, all right, cool.

Go over to the office,

get you a drink,

sit down for ten minutes and relax.

But it's not like.

Hey, you know,

another hundred bucks and you can go hang

out with William or one of these guys.

It's like everybody's there the whole

time.

Yeah.

OK,

so you're one thing that's really awesome

about Kentucky Sustainable Living are the

cool vendors that you bring in.

Tell them about all the different things

that people can buy if they want to

at Kentucky Sustainable Living.

I think we've got fifty three vendor spots

right now.

So you can buy everything.

Dana that's doing all the composting.

She is big into fermentation.

She's going to have kombucha.

She's going to have scobies.

She's going to have all the different

ferments ready to go.

You can buy all these starter packs of

ferments.

You'll be able to buy sourdough starter.

You'll be able to buy ham radio equipment.

You'll be able to buy knives.

You'll be able to buy our medical kits.

Pretty much anything to deal with

homesteading and preparedness.

Soaps, lotions, honey,

just anything that you can think of.

There's going to be a military surplus guy

there with military surplus gear.

Forrest from Alabama, Forrest Smith,

is getting rid of a bunch of stuff.

Forrest is bringing a literal sixteen foot

cattle trailer full of all kinds of

different prep and supplies.

And he's like,

I need like two boots to put stuff

out.

So there's going to be everything,

custom knives,

pretty much anything that you want is

going to be there.

I can guarantee you Forrest Smith is going

to have some cool stuff at that table.

Oh, he's already told me.

He's like,

I got two things that I want you

to look at before I show anybody else.

And I was like, okay, cool.

I was like,

I want to look at these things.

But he said he's going to sell his

cattle trailer.

He's like,

if somebody wants to buy the cattle

trailer, I'll sell it too.

Man.

I'm like, okay.

Man.

Wow.

Times are hard.

So, you know, Jason,

as we come to a close here, man,

let me just kind of bring it full

circle here in light of everything going

on in the national and world headlines

right now and even local headlines.

I mean,

you ain't got to be Nostradamus to figure

out, man, things are getting tough.

You know,

people ain't getting paid no more.

In fact,

they're probably losing their jobs,

a lot of them, you know,

being replaced by AI or whatever the case

may be.

What do you think some of the biggest

challenges that homesteaders and people in

the preparedness mindset ought to be

really watching out over the next months

and years?

Well, all right.

AI is not going to take away the

job of going out and getting eggs in

the morning.

or butchering a chicken or butchering a

lamb.

It's not going to take that.

I think food prices are going to still

keep going up.

I think the government is just,

with these data centers,

if they called them really what they were,

surveillance centers,

people would be up in arms a lot

more about it.

But the data centers have been going on

for years anyway.

Billy,

you worked at them when you're still on

the tools.

So I think homesteaders have a little bit

better shot at this because we're raising

our own food.

We're seeing what's going on.

AI is not going to take that job.

AI can't go out and make sure your

cattle are on a different set of pasture

and fill up the water tanks.

So we've got the hands-on stuff.

It's not going to take away the trades.

You're still going to need plumbers,

electricians, carpenters, tile guys.

And most of your homesteaders are

blue-collar.

people most of the time,

unless it's some guy at a bank,

you know, that's made millions of bucks.

And he's like,

I want to have like one of these

fake farms kind of thing.

So homesteaders are not,

homesteaders are not afraid to get dirty.

I mean,

literally I was out catching chickens

before.

And before that I was moving equipment to

a job site on a job we're working

on.

So I'm not afraid to get my hands

dirty.

And those people are like,

they go out and they get it done.

They get their hands dirty and they just,

they live life and they're not sitting

behind a computer all the time to where

AI can, you know,

do all the spreadsheets and all this stuff

for you.

Yes, that's going to replace your job.

So I think the homesteaders are sitting a

little bit better than the vast majority

of people.

Yeah, I couldn't agree more.

One more time, Jason,

tell everybody where and when for this

thing and how they can go about getting

tickets.

It's July seventeenth,

eighteenth and nineteenth.

That's a Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

It's in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

And you can get your tickets at Kentucky

Sustainable Living dot com.

And you can see Jason at Kentucky

Sustainable Living on YouTube as well.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because I do a show.

I do a show on Tuesday mornings and

Friday mornings at eight o'clock alive.

And you and I will be doing one

June thirtieth at eight a.m.

on both of our channels.

So if you guys see like a live

stream pop up at eight a.m.

June thirtieth, we're doing a live stream.

All right.

Well, you know,

that's going to do it for us today,

y'all.

Believe me, go check it out.

These are wonderful people.

I feel lucky to know Jason and Shelly.

Man,

they are going to knock it out of

the park with this thing.

You know the deal.

Till next time, stay alert.

Stay alive.

Run deep.

Wisdom from soul.

Run across the stream.

Let the ideas unfold.

I'm moving with the truth, truth, truth.

Feeling nature's food.

from the smallest sprout to the harmony

begins in the cycle of life for the

magic's alive
