[00:02:18] All right welcome back to the Survival and Basic Badass Podcast Kevin and Chuck. Well

[00:02:26] today we're going to talk about prepping for the apocalypse. The last episode we kind of laid out

[00:02:34] how a biblical apocalypse would play out and what that kind of entails but now I wanted to do a kind

[00:02:41] of second episode and talk about well what could you actually do? Like how could you make things

[00:02:47] better? Now a lot of people kind of gave us a little grief, oh god we don't go for that whole

[00:02:54] biblical thing and you know you're throwing it all off and whatever and that side and we do you

[00:03:01] know we do episodes on aliens and every other thing so you know think outside the box for a

[00:03:06] week work with us. But the thing is that's going to make it cool is I gotta say is that we're going

[00:03:14] to use this as an opportunity to kind of think outside the box with your prepping. How to kind

[00:03:20] of prepare for unusual events, things that you know might be a little out of the norm, out of the

[00:03:27] you know things you standard prepare for but also there's a lot of things that overlap to

[00:03:32] everyday life that are very relevant. You know inflation and kind of not being able to buy

[00:03:41] things kind of go hand in hand in how you might prepare. I know that in the biblical scheme of

[00:03:47] things there's a lot of earthquakes and you know hellfire raining from the sky that

[00:03:54] kind of thing. You know the things that could happen every day so you know we used to have

[00:03:59] acid rain in the 80s right? I remember that and go outside without an umbrella and your skin melted

[00:04:06] off it was crazy. The 80s were a wild decade. It was a wild time right? I don't know so just with that

[00:04:15] you know there's a lot of things going on. So let's kind of just jump right in and obviously

[00:04:21] we're not going to dig into a lot of them but we're gonna you know really drill down on the

[00:04:27] ones that seem like something you need to consider and think about. Now obviously somebody

[00:04:34] had pointed out last week that you know oh well you know if they were Christians they wouldn't

[00:04:40] even be here for the apocalypse. Well I gotta say that's a big debate among the churches and

[00:04:46] they're all like well maybe the Christians will all be gone before bad things happen or maybe

[00:04:52] they'll be gone in the middle of bad things happening and maybe they're gonna tough it out.

[00:04:58] It doesn't specifically say. I mean it says if you're on your rooftop and it starts just run for it. You don't

[00:05:08] even go back to get your coat. So if you're not reading the bible who why would you even give that

[00:05:14] message right? You know there's a million you know I'm blind of kind of being a follower of Christ.

[00:05:20] People you know are always oh well you got this that the other thing but you know whatever

[00:05:27] there's a million ways to figure this out and you know if you want me to point you in the right

[00:05:32] direction on where to find that information you know reach out I'll talk to you. But for those

[00:05:38] of you who are like you know I'm gonna be here for the whole thing. I'm gonna ride this and you

[00:05:43] know Kevin's a tough guy he wants to ride it. He's like yeah let's ride it and see what happens.

[00:05:49] So there's a lot of bad things that could come. We got a list of about 21 right? We got

[00:05:56] we got seven seals. Some overlap but there's yeah there's seven seal judgments so here we go. Let's

[00:06:02] jump into it. So what I got is initially there are four horsemen right? You hear the four

[00:06:10] horsemen of the apocalypse. So the first one and there's seven seals but four have horses.

[00:06:18] So here we go. The first one is a white horse and it says the white horse will peacefully create

[00:06:26] a one world government. And I think in my my video clip here I spelled create wrong because

[00:06:32] I'm an idiot but anyway work with me. But so this is where you know you kind of get that peace in

[00:06:39] the Middle East thing you hear about with that. So that's a good thing and a bad thing and and

[00:06:45] I gotta say we kind of seem to be shifting towards a one world government right now.

[00:06:51] I mean kind of preparing people like that. I think you know people were always worried about

[00:06:57] the UN and and that but so that's kind of an ugly time. I feel like a lot that affects us

[00:07:04] and how we could prepare is a lot of your rights are kind of going away. Things like you know gun

[00:07:12] rights are getting a lot more squashed. Things like I know Canada I was just watching a ruffle

[00:07:18] brand and Canada is doing a big thing about going after people who have online posts and

[00:07:25] things that are hurtful and hate. Right free speech is getting more and more limited in

[00:07:30] Canada and a lot of places in the world. And Canada they're like oh we're even going to go

[00:07:34] back from that post you made in 1982 that was filled with hate. It wasn't even that stuff.

[00:07:40] They were going for the gold. Yeah there's a lot of crazy going on there. So things like that

[00:07:47] basically what I would say and how we prepare is like networking with people who you know care

[00:07:53] about and you know getting in touch and having ways to deal with our own groups. I'm sure podcasts

[00:08:02] get you in all kinds of trouble. I know in China they will whatever but that kind of thing. The

[00:08:10] other thing would be maybe you know it might get more difficult to store food. You know they had

[00:08:15] written in that stuff about you know people hoarding food and long-term food storage. And

[00:08:21] you know how much did we shun people who bought a lot of toilet paper and that kind of thing

[00:08:26] during COVID right? Oh those evil hoarders ruined it for the rest of us right? You know hopefully

[00:08:34] if you were a prepper you kind of had that stuff beforehand and you weren't out buying toilet paper

[00:08:39] at the last minute you know. Hopefully. Kevin. That was me. That was me. I was in the backyard

[00:08:45] with the garden hose. Hey you know if you can work the bidet option that's another thing.

[00:08:52] So yeah there's things like that. So planning ahead I guess is what I would say for that one.

[00:08:59] The second horse is a red horse symbolic of war and death. So war and death definitely you know

[00:09:07] we've seen wars affect the economy and how things go like that. You know in America we never seem to

[00:09:15] really touch war. You know on the home soil you know Hawaii might have a different opinion than

[00:09:22] that. But for the rest of the country you know we're it's not really a mainland kind of thing.

[00:09:29] But we've had a good 150 year run. Yeah. Next is a black horse.

[00:09:38] Famine scarcity purchasing power is reduced by an eighth. Now I got to say that kind of relates to

[00:09:46] you know modern day here where you know there's a lot of of well yeah inflation and inflation right.

[00:09:57] So right go to the grocery store you can't buy the same stuff you could with a hundred dollars

[00:10:01] you know just two years ago. So preparing for that one buying your stuff in advance you know as

[00:10:10] a prepper you know a lot of us have kind of a stockpile of things for when there's a shortage.

[00:10:14] But you're also beating inflation by having stuff set aside. Because you know you're always eating

[00:10:21] you know paying the price you would paid a month ago when you're buying stuff a month ahead of time

[00:10:28] six months ago a year ago. And I think that makes a big difference. Moving right along.

[00:10:37] Wrong one here. So ashen horse. Now this is a pale horse and it says a quarter of the earth

[00:10:45] would be killed by sword famine and beasts. And it says beasts of the wilderness is what I read.

[00:10:53] Yeah now everybody knows the pale pale horse that's Clint Eastwood right?

[00:10:59] Yep yep. Pale rider I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure that's uh that's who they're talking about.

[00:11:04] Nobody wants to have to deal with him showing up. No you don't need that. No so quarter population

[00:11:10] dead by sword famine and beasts. Now famine is obviously an awful one that's not not great when

[00:11:16] you don't have enough food to feed everybody. There's always the flies going around. And I don't know how to get rid of flies but

[00:11:22] I know if you ever wanted to attract flies get some eyeballs. Oh it seems like whenever you see those

[00:11:29] third world videos of the third world country they're just flies all over these people's eyeballs.

[00:11:34] Yep well because they're trying to suck the moisture out of your eyes. Is that what it is?

[00:11:38] That's what it is. Kind of gross. That's how I see it. Now you said you had concerns about the beasts when we

[00:11:44] were talking about? Yeah so so I mean realistically you know there aren't that many lions and tigers

[00:11:51] and bears out there. You know there's an occasional rabid raccoon or something like that you know.

[00:11:57] But the beasts... We are bringing the wolves back. That's right bringing the wolves back too. All right.

[00:12:03] The thing that I was uh thinking about with the beasts reminded me of uh China. They just had a

[00:12:10] uh a big military uh parade. Robot dogs with machine guns. Yes that that's an exciting time.

[00:12:19] Robot dogs, machine guns. Some of you guys have seen there's robot dogs with flame throwers.

[00:12:26] Nice yep and you know very apocalyptic you know. The things uh you know I don't want to be

[00:12:33] dealing with and if that's the beasts we're dealing with in the end times I'm just saying.

[00:12:38] Yeah ghost robotics came out with one with a long range rifle too so it's it's very exciting

[00:12:43] very exciting stuff. New York City police has been putting out robot dogs and uh they don't

[00:12:50] have guns yet um and so everybody's everybody that sees one has has just been I don't know if

[00:12:58] you assault the robot but they've been uh smashing them up you know. If you see a robot walking down

[00:13:04] down the sidewalk in your neighborhood you need to get the baseball bat and smack it up man.

[00:13:09] That's not I don't go for that stuff. All right yeah go ahead. Fifth seal the martyrs cry out

[00:13:22] for revenge. Now what is that? That's that's all the Christians who've been persecuted in that

[00:13:30] beginning time and whatever and throughout time so that's kind of so there there's not really

[00:13:35] anything going on there that's just God saying all right I'm gonna get get annoyed here. I was

[00:13:40] gonna say pissed but I was trying to not offend people you know keep right but you know that

[00:13:44] didn't work out so well. Um all right next one earthquake or did you have something more on the

[00:13:50] martyrs? Nope that's it. Earthquake the sun is blacked out the moon is like blood and the stars

[00:13:59] fall to earth the sky tears apart like a scroll and every mountain and island will be moved.

[00:14:07] Now that's a big earthquake if every mountain and island is moved I believe it said off its

[00:14:13] foundation. That's kind of a little rough. Um so how do you prepare I mean we we talked about

[00:14:21] preparing for earthquakes but what about where do you want to be when there's a ridiculous earthquake

[00:14:28] right when mountains are being leveled? Yeah it seems to me um you know I would think like the

[00:14:34] Great Plains would be a great spot. Uh I lived out in uh Illinois out in that area it's not necessarily

[00:14:40] the Great Plains but it's right on the edge and uh I lived in California. Uh I've lived in you know

[00:14:46] all over the place and the worst earthquake I ever lived through was in in Illinois which is

[00:14:52] wild to me. I didn't even know they had earthquakes there. Yeah I now one of the things that I've

[00:14:59] heard people consider is underground um when there are earthquakes it only usually affects the uh

[00:15:07] surface layer. Um is that is that a fact? That sounds made up. No no I'm told that it's the

[00:15:14] upper crust that's kind of shifting but I don't know how far underground we got to go here. I

[00:15:20] think you got to go pretty far to get below the crust man. And then do we become mole people?

[00:15:25] I mean there's a lot of things. I mean when you when you go underground you might have to fight

[00:15:31] mole people. You know what I mean? That's where they live. And I think there's an alien race

[00:15:36] living uh under there. I know uh they're saying up in Alaska and a few other places. Yeah like

[00:15:43] like reptilians or? Yeah I think different. Yeah yeah. All right. It's a fine line. I'm into it.

[00:15:48] Maybe we can get the the reptilians and the mole people to fight each other.

[00:15:53] Yeah gotta work both sides of that. One of the uh I don't know. All right moving right along.

[00:16:01] The next one um so earthquakes. I mean do you have any more you wanted to touch on with

[00:16:06] earthquakes? So if you're getting ready for an earthquake um you want to make sure you do

[00:16:11] basics like secure your stuff to the wall. You know that your tv doesn't fall off the wall. Your

[00:16:15] pictures aren't falling on people's heads. You want to make sure everything's secured on your wall.

[00:16:19] Um it says you should practice the drop cover and hold on maneuver. I don't know what what that

[00:16:27] means. It used to be door frames Chuck. You said that's not cool anymore? When I was searching it

[00:16:32] yeah everything was like a lot of people think door frames but that's no stronger than any other.

[00:16:38] Well here's the thing. What they're implying in the stuff I read is that the walls are going to fall

[00:16:45] over or they're not and that's kind of what you're looking at. So like they're thinking the

[00:16:52] whole wall is coming down rather than you know like stuff falling on your head. They said that

[00:16:58] it actually is a good thing to be under furniture. To be outside is better. They said that the

[00:17:05] majority of people in earthquakes who have bad problems are the deaths come from being buried

[00:17:11] by rubble. So being out in an open area is really the better way to be. Now he said getting out of

[00:17:18] your car not a good thing. Just stay right there? They said that car's just going to flip over on

[00:17:24] you and kill you. So if you can get out of your car and run 50 feet from any car good. Seems like

[00:17:31] the earthquake's over by that point. Yeah so but if it's like initial they're like you know just

[00:17:36] hang on. All right so there is an earthquake emergency kit right? So that would be

[00:17:42] that would be food and water for three days which hopefully if you're a prepper near listening to

[00:17:46] this you've got. And the apocalypse is seven years so you may just want to you know extend that a

[00:17:52] little bit right? A little bit right. A flashlight, fire extinguisher, and a whistle for when you do get

[00:17:58] trapped under the rubble. Hello I'm over here. And obviously it says you know have enough for

[00:18:06] everybody in your household. So you know a whistle for everyone or the whistle and a flashlight for

[00:18:11] everybody. Medication that you you know anybody that's on a necessary medication. And have extra

[00:18:20] batteries and charging devices for phones and other equipment. I like it. And also you can get

[00:18:28] you can't get rapture or apocalypse insurance but you can get earthquake insurance. Contact your

[00:18:38] homeowner's insurance policy. There you go. All right and you know in a lot of places they're

[00:18:43] probably pretty cheap. But what I am always wondering is they kind of are like well we

[00:18:50] never thought that would happen so we're not going to pay out on that one. That's always the way it

[00:18:55] seems to kind of go. Like we didn't think that world trade towers could come down. Yeah we took

[00:19:00] the insurance policy like they could come down but right it wasn't gonna happen. So I feel like

[00:19:06] that's what would happen is if I had a North Carolina earthquake insurance. They'd be like

[00:19:12] we didn't think there'd be an earthquake. Well here's the thing did I if there's an earthquake

[00:19:17] because it's the apocalypse is that an act of God? It seems like an act of God. Oh you know.

[00:19:22] I don't know how that falls in. They don't cover acts of God or they do cover acts of God like I'm

[00:19:28] not even sure how that plays. I don't even know anymore. It's a fine line. All right so and then

[00:19:34] the other big thing that comes up is tsunamis tend to follow major earthquakes. That's right

[00:19:41] tsunamis. I've got some stuff on tsunamis. How to get ready for your tsunami. All right. If you live

[00:19:48] near or visit the coastal areas learn about tsunami risks. Yeah. Learn the site,

[00:19:56] excuse me, learn the signs of potential tsunamis. So if you're at the beach and all of a sudden the

[00:20:01] water all goes out that's your probably it's probably too late like you can run the opposite

[00:20:06] direction. You're seeing that right. You always see those videos where like they're on the pier

[00:20:10] you know it's a movie or something and I'll see something on TikTok or whatever the hell

[00:20:15] and you'll see all the water retracting way back and like a you know a quarter mile out

[00:20:21] and they're like what that's neat let's look maybe we'll see fish on the bottom

[00:20:26] and they're they're all looking and excited. Looking for shells and stuff. And then you have

[00:20:30] one guy who's like I know what this is. I listen to the Survival of Basic Badass podcast and I

[00:20:37] should be running the other way but it doesn't matter you're probably screwed at that point.

[00:20:41] Yeah you're actually saying that you're out of luck. You should know your community's evacuation

[00:20:48] plans. They have like emergency routes and stuff like that keep your eyes open when you're driving

[00:20:54] around you'll see signs for that sort of stuff. Obviously you want high ground right but the top

[00:21:00] of the 50-story building on the ocean front maybe not the high ground that's going to be number one

[00:21:05] you know I mean but hey it depends what you have time for. You got to calculate and weigh that all

[00:21:11] out and decide where you can get that's going to be the safest and you know kind of go with that.

[00:21:17] All right next one on my list is creating a family emergency communication plan.

[00:21:22] Oh I like that so when your kids people want to see. Yeah yeah there you go but I mean if you

[00:21:30] need to you know communicate with your family members so you have family members in different

[00:21:36] areas. Have a plan for that. Your cell phones might not necessarily work regular telephones

[00:21:40] might not necessarily work you know. Well hang on let me expand on that. One of the prepper books

[00:21:47] I had talked about was you know they had a kid that was at college like 30 or 40 miles away or

[00:21:54] you know different things and with an EMP you know you don't know and with different things

[00:22:00] that event and especially more extreme events such as major earthquakes or forest fires or

[00:22:07] things like that maybe having a place to meet up. You know if things go bad this is you know

[00:22:13] where we're going to meet as a family and you know or as a group or community or mutual assistant

[00:22:19] group but have a place designated that hey if things go bad this is where we're going to be.

[00:22:26] This is the compound instead of everybody trying to run you know if you discuss with your kids

[00:22:31] hey you know when you get out of the school you need to come home I'm not coming for you.

[00:22:37] Some kids are like oh I'm going to be waiting there for mom I don't know should I wait should

[00:22:42] I do everything I can to be like screw the man and just walk out the door and leave. Like you

[00:22:48] need to decide where your values are and what's important to you and what you're going to do

[00:22:53] beforehand and just have a plan. I mean maybe your plan is hey I know you're not going to be

[00:23:00] able to get home on your own so I am going to come to the school and come for you. You know you need

[00:23:04] to come up with the plan and decide what you're going to do but have a plan and then that way

[00:23:12] you know if you discuss these disasters and clear-cut strategies it's so much better than

[00:23:18] trying to leave it up to fate. You know I know things probably won't happen. I know with like

[00:23:24] biblical end time stuff right stuff like that people have thought that the end of the world

[00:23:29] was coming since the beginning of time. Right. You know I'm not saying it's right around the corner

[00:23:35] that's not the point. The point is we need to be ready as preppers for you know whatever may come

[00:23:44] and that's you know now is the time to plan when you're in control and focused and thinking clearly.

[00:23:51] All right moving along yeah another good idea sign up for your community's warning system so

[00:23:56] emergency alerts go out a lot of people just get them right on their phones and that's that's great.

[00:24:02] The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also has a weather radio that you can listen to

[00:24:11] that'll give you emergency alerts and yeah consider flood insurance another great insurance get

[00:24:18] insurance for the apocalypse that's another one of those uh act of god that you may or may not be

[00:24:24] covered covered by. Right that you want to plan for. Now number seven the seventh seal is uh

[00:24:34] the seven trumpets starting out right. All right opening up the next set of judgments.

[00:24:40] All right the first one it starts out hardcore right out of the gate.

[00:24:44] Hail and fire mixed with blood and a third of the grass in the trees are burned.

[00:24:54] So right here like one the hail stones in the bible they were described as a talon

[00:25:01] the size and that's about seven gallons of water so that's a big hailstone I feel like

[00:25:07] that's taking out your car. Yeah that that'd come right through your roof. That that's right back

[00:25:12] where I go to the the cave might be a good option or having a fallback cave but I gotta say one of

[00:25:18] the bigger things that came to mind when I read that was that we need to one have stores set aside

[00:25:33] things in multiple locations in case they get damaged or whatever. You can't have all your

[00:25:39] eggs in one basket as they say right. You know you need to break up your food storage a little bit

[00:25:46] in different places. Another thing is they're talking about fire coming down from the sky

[00:25:51] and a third of the earth being burned fire breaks. Again you're kind of screwed at that point if

[00:25:59] you're that kind of third of the earth where nothing but you need to find a way to protect yourself

[00:26:06] and what you could do that would be important. And if you listen to representative Boebert

[00:26:12] you might want to be aware of the Jewish space lasers that are starting fires you know. Yeah this

[00:26:18] might not necessarily be fire from the sky it might be a laser from the sky that's starting

[00:26:23] these fires up I don't know I don't know how it's going to work out we'll see what happens.

[00:26:27] If you were in Hawaii you might find that opinion to be a little more and I believe they did it in

[00:26:33] Argentina too right weren't they saying that houses without blue roofs in Argentina I think

[00:26:39] it was Argentina somewhere in South America. I read another story it didn't get a lot of traction

[00:26:45] but right so they don't get shot with the space lasers if you have blue roof. Blue roof so maybe

[00:26:49] that's what you do instead you're like oh God's judgment blue roof yeah maybe blue roof with like

[00:26:55] a big cross on it that would be the double protection. I'm good from the government and

[00:27:04] if God gets a little pissed you can right yep there it is so that that's another way to go on

[00:27:11] that one. But again that's all right imagine if a third of the earth was burned right so you're

[00:27:18] not growing food you have livestock set aside but your livestock how are you going to feed them

[00:27:24] you know you like people to butcher them and get through the next week month with whatever you

[00:27:29] you'll be able to smoke the meat. But again too one of the other things to consider is

[00:27:34] now that there's no uh there all the wood got burned you can't make a fire anymore right right

[00:27:42] there's no more you know you have fire for that week or whatever well everything's on fire right

[00:27:49] but then after that you have no more wood to burn to purify water to do anything all right

[00:27:57] these are things you might want to consider and kind of think of ways to you know plan out I'm

[00:28:03] just saying there's options out there that you need to be thinking about. So next one what do we got

[00:28:11] what's uh next on the list after uh hail and fire and next is a great mountain burning with fire

[00:28:18] thrown into the sea turns to blood a third of the oceans all right so that that's not good so all

[00:28:26] your fish and wildlife I think it said all the ships in that third are destroyed everything's just

[00:28:32] done so you're kind of you know things falling out of the sky and killing you that's that's a hard one

[00:28:38] to prepare for um maybe don't be on a ship during this time is what I would say. Next one wormwood

[00:28:45] which is a star or a comet I'm not really sure I think it's a real thing though like we already

[00:28:52] have a star I think named wormwood yeah there's a afraid that yeah yeah it looks like uh biblically

[00:28:57] going back historically wormwood is a reference to to anything that's bitter okay it's a bitter

[00:29:03] a bitter plant okay and it's um yeah it can give you seizures apparently oh I think they said uh

[00:29:11] arsenic and uh is they seem to be think that's probably what it's going to be but

[00:29:17] wormwood falls from heaven and turns a third of the rivers and springs bitter so that that's what

[00:29:24] you're dealing with there so again we're talking about you need water storage all right a third

[00:29:30] of the river and springs and it says and springs so having a well or something may not be a solution

[00:29:37] we need to think of ways to deal with this all right so it's possible we don't have firewood

[00:29:44] but you know a still would be an option if if we do um being able to to uh you know uh evaporate

[00:29:54] water you know in into and let it condensate again uh there is a way without firewood that

[00:30:00] you could do a uh solar still right now a solar still you basically have a container with like a

[00:30:07] glass cover uh you could even do like plexiglass clear tarp different things but and basically you

[00:30:15] lay it the the glass lays across the top of it it's a sealed box with the contaminated water

[00:30:22] in the bottom and you angle the top towards like a trough so that the water evaporates collects on

[00:30:29] the top and then kind of travels you know down downward and then drops into the trough i've also

[00:30:36] seen ones where you put like a rock in the middle over a tarp a clear tarp and you know you have the

[00:30:43] bucket of right in the middle and then the other moisture stuff uh vegetation anything with moisture

[00:30:51] because obviously when it cools at night that kind of thing you go with the solar you know it

[00:30:56] evaporates up in a steam in the hot day and then evaporates and it cools down and condenses

[00:31:03] and goes back down so that's something to consider uh there is a company there was a guy who's been

[00:31:10] reaching out to me i think his name was brian and i haven't decided whether i'm going to do an episode

[00:31:16] with him for the podcast but he's got a really awesome uh website and it's called uh let me see

[00:31:25] i think it was like aquaria dot world either way i'll put it in the uh in the uh show notes

[00:31:32] so you guys can link to it but basically they have a evaporator system that evaporates just moisture

[00:31:41] out of the air and puts it into a big container and provides fresh water now this does require

[00:31:47] electricity i know they have options where they talk about a solar setup to power it

[00:31:52] and different stuff to me it looked like it was a kind of expensive um option however on the flip

[00:32:02] side of that it's expensive but water is kind of the foundation of life and if you're the only guy

[00:32:08] who has water you might be pretty cool so again you you have something like this you're going to

[00:32:14] want to protect it you're going to want to find ways that it's not going to get destroyed um

[00:32:19] you know we talk about backups and redundancy uh being able to patch bad plumbing things things

[00:32:26] that come up these are things you need to think about you know one of the things when the stores

[00:32:31] and and you can't go to the hardware store you can't do anything if times get really bad you know

[00:32:37] during even wildfires or whatever your local hardware store is probably not opening up on the

[00:32:42] corner when everybody's evacuating yeah they say that actually um walmart will still be open

[00:32:49] well they know they said that uh they knew that that jesus was the messiah um because when he was

[00:32:55] a carpenter he only had to go to home depot once for each project he didn't have to keep going back

[00:33:00] like you and i do that would be the kind of proof that i'd be looking for yes so you need to i mean

[00:33:05] when we're talking about things like this having those extra supplies you know having extra plumbing

[00:33:11] supplies piping things like that um extra lumber that's the sort of stuff that you know as a prepper

[00:33:18] you should be thinking about um not just the tools to do the job but some of the materials that you

[00:33:25] need to do to the job right having some extra tarps having some extra lumber having an extra

[00:33:31] bundle of shingles that sort of stuff is um you know it's also prepping i will say it's a delicate

[00:33:37] dance between being a hoarder and being well prepared yeah it's it's close to to my heart

[00:33:46] there it's a fine line right all right i'll just put that out there um now all right uh we also

[00:33:54] so we had everything go better a third of the sun stars and the moon are diminished now is this from

[00:34:01] the smoke from all the fires i i don't know you know who knows what the the bible's talking about

[00:34:07] there now if we talk about um you know like a giant meteor uh talk about a mountain burning

[00:34:12] with fire thrown into the sea that's a bad one yeah it's you know nuclear winter is what that's

[00:34:19] sort of thing you know is that is what we could be dealing with right meteors meteors did that

[00:34:25] that's how they took out the dinosaurs or how they think that what happened um you know same thing

[00:34:31] with a massive nuclear exchange all right now next one uh demonic locusts oh my favorite one right

[00:34:40] and torture people for five months and i believe it says that people will wish for death but death

[00:34:48] does not come that doesn't sound good now here's the caveat here now so maybe the rapture happens

[00:34:58] at the beginning that's when all the christians get called up and they all disappear you know one

[00:35:02] will be working in the field and or two will be working in the field and one will be gone and one

[00:35:07] will be there the whole thing so you can still accept god according to the bible after that happens

[00:35:17] and if you don't take the mark you would if you have the mark of god now it's not just taking the

[00:35:23] mark i think you also need the mark of god meaning that that you've decided to follow christ

[00:35:29] those locusts won't sting you oh word yeah so i just had to put that out there i mean at that

[00:35:35] point you can be like hey now if you've got the mark of the beast thing then forget it you're you're

[00:35:40] just the locusts are coming for you so what could you do to avoid these locusts now well i mean one

[00:35:46] when i first read this i used to think of the demonic locusts were like apache helicopters

[00:35:52] or something right people said that but i don't think because they say it comes out of a pit from

[00:35:56] hell right right well that's how you know it's demonic right evil evil grasshoppers right i

[00:36:05] actually i tried to have um uh ai uh chat gpt or something i i think i've been looking at a new one

[00:36:15] called capcut or something and that that draws pictures for you you know with the ai bing does it

[00:36:21] and i typed in the biblical description so i could get a picture to drop it on there

[00:36:26] they were so far away from anything i didn't even bother saving any they were that bad but it was

[00:36:32] the description is it has like a crown on its head a gold crown it has long hair like a woman

[00:36:42] a face like a man teeth like a lion and i believe there was something it looked like a locust or

[00:36:49] scorpion so you have all this kind of tied together and it definitely maybe didn't say

[00:36:54] that it looked like a scorpion but it said that it would sting like a scorpion all right so we're

[00:37:01] talking about some horrible little creature that like looks like a dude it's like some guy it's got

[00:37:08] a guy's face on it yeah that's a creepy image and like like you said i remember hearing the

[00:37:15] preachers of yesterday talking about well you know they uh that's probably the apache helicopter

[00:37:24] with a man in there and you know whatever and they had all kinds you know we always try and justify

[00:37:29] things and explain it away what it really means because a lot of the stuff you know people say

[00:37:34] well this is the interpretation of a guy 2 000 years ago and you know he doesn't have the same

[00:37:42] context and perspective that we do and and i get that and that's fair but also i don't think

[00:37:48] people were just idiots because it was a long time ago right like i i don't know that we can

[00:37:54] you know it's hard to say it's hard to say that's all i can say so that brings the trumpet judgments

[00:38:02] to an end right is that right uh next no no there's one one more that that is very exciting to

[00:38:07] me it is exciting you're right four angels lead an army of 200 million demons to inflict death on

[00:38:14] one third of the earth now this is not an army of men from what we're reading it's 200 million

[00:38:20] demons yeah now everybody knows everybody knows that to kill a demon you need either holy water

[00:38:29] or silver bullets yes so stock up bro yep and silver's way up right now i think last i checked

[00:38:36] it was like 31 an ounce yeah no it's pretty pretty damn expensive that's like uh you know

[00:38:41] it's like 10 rounds there you know we were all excited the other day that uh you know somebody

[00:38:47] came up to me it's like hey juicy silver's 2788 or 2799 an ounce and i'm like yeah that's crazy

[00:38:55] and then last night he stopped me at work and was like dude it's 31 and i'm like i haven't looked but

[00:39:01] i mean i saw it when it was 2799 or whatever but it's going up it's going up so that's something

[00:39:08] you might want to uh thanks any other thoughts on fighting demons i mean it just doesn't sound fun

[00:39:13] no it doesn't it does now in the book of enoch that's where people like talk about a lot of these

[00:39:19] angels and demons and stuff now book of enoch is one that didn't make it into the official

[00:39:26] printing from king james whatever it didn't make the cut um people say factual not factual

[00:39:36] whatever i believe that it's it's factual um i haven't scrutinized it all myself i have not read

[00:39:44] the book of enoch um every time i try and find a copy and read it it's craziness and i don't know

[00:39:53] so anyway bottom line they talk about like 9 to 12 foot demons so these are some big boys right

[00:40:00] you might want to hit the gym if you're going to be fighting these guys

[00:40:04] right it's like uh getting in a fistfight with uh dwayne johnson yeah exactly you know it might

[00:40:12] end well but all signs point to not likely so you might want to step up your game maybe you

[00:40:19] need to start working on some robot dogs yeah well here's the thing i'll tell you why i'm not

[00:40:24] worried about about demons all right because they don't have karate oh you know what i mean

[00:40:33] kung fu that's right i don't know karate either but i'm just saying i can watch some movies i

[00:40:38] could watch some bruce lee i could probably a lot of people think you know i'm just gonna watch some

[00:40:42] bruce lee before the you know things go bad and yeah that sounds right so maybe step up the uh

[00:40:48] the bruce lee collection all right now we're on to now the seventh one seventh trumpet is

[00:40:54] the beginning of the old judge grass the seven bowl judgments now these just are bad like right

[00:41:01] out of the gate so again anybody who has the mark of the beast this is the first bowl judgment

[00:41:06] gets malignant sores upon anyone who has the mark so that's not good um nobody if you've ever seen

[00:41:15] like a cold sore or had a cold sore it's not good it's just gross pus boils nobody wants any of that

[00:41:24] and right so there's you know when you're talking about cancer there's malignant

[00:41:29] uh benign and malignant malignant's the bad one right now before

[00:41:36] before a third of the ocean turned to blood and killed all the the fish and everything

[00:41:42] now they're just number two we're going to full-on blood everywhere everything in the ocean

[00:41:49] and then right after that all the rivers and springs turn to blood everywhere um now i do know

[00:41:57] if you're the religious type uh moses was able to turn it back to clean water

[00:42:05] so maybe if you just pray about it is what i'd say maybe you can maybe you can get a moses

[00:42:10] around we talked about the solar stills and the other one uh you know the evaporator i know in

[00:42:16] africa they had some kind of basket thing they were trying to rig up that collected condensation

[00:42:23] all i can say is if you're planning on sticking around for the apocalypse i would say look into a

[00:42:29] bunch of methods where you can collect condensation for your water that's going to be your go-to um

[00:42:36] and again firewood might be in uh tight supply so you may want to look at that otherwise i can say is

[00:42:42] you're boiling the blood and hoping to get some moisture out of it things look bad word of the

[00:42:47] wise don't just drink blood um you'll go even if it's clean you're just you're just going to

[00:42:52] throw up blood it's no vampires have been doing it they can do it they got the skills but you don't

[00:42:59] you know what if i went to living in a cave got all pale and then i you know i think they've

[00:43:05] become anemic then drinking blood it kind of works out maybe i don't know i don't know right

[00:43:10] probably not though probably not the way it doesn't sound good all right the the next one uh

[00:43:17] what is it oh the sun gets extra hot the sun produces extraordinary heat and scorches men with

[00:43:25] fire so that that one could be a little rough um i would say find a nice shady spot and keep your

[00:43:33] air conditioners working yeah no i now i i understand this one you know tell me as a white

[00:43:39] man oh i i actually just got sunburn uh uh two days ago being out in the sun for two too damn long

[00:43:47] um you know maybe maybe the black folks don't have to worry about this so much they don't get

[00:43:53] sunburn like like uh pale white people do like if you're albino like if you're from england

[00:43:58] you know don't go hang out in uh in the american south don't go to miami or anything you know

[00:44:04] yeah no probably a no-go on that one so all right let's let's keep rolling here uh scorching heat

[00:44:13] though is is a bad thing and i would say plenty of water but if it's all blood you know who knows how

[00:44:19] that's going to work out for you hard to stay hydrated in that it is right um next one is

[00:44:25] blackout from the sun and agony but i guess you're kind of happy that the sun finally turned

[00:44:31] finally burnt out geez yeah but it says and agony that causes people to gnaw their tongues

[00:44:40] i i don't know what that means but that doesn't sound good i know i've bit my tongue accidentally

[00:44:46] before and it it doesn't feel pleasant no so i mean doing it on purpose like

[00:44:51] i don't know you must be in a lot of agony all right next one is uh the euphrates dries up

[00:44:58] and draws out kings to the mountains of israel for the final battle now they describe it in this text

[00:45:06] they describe the final battle as the battle of armageddon it turns out armageddon is an actual

[00:45:12] place um there is like northern israel in the mountains is where this battle is going to

[00:45:21] describe and it's like in biblical maps it is like armageddon um i think if you know that's

[00:45:29] something that interested you you could actually search out you know where is armageddon on a map

[00:45:34] and whatever you should be able to you know sort it out it's not going to be your modern atlas

[00:45:40] but when you go back to yesteryear i know the bibles used to have the old school maps in it

[00:45:45] um i can maybe find something and post it up if you were interested um just saying uh last one

[00:45:54] light and sound announces the greatest earthquake the world has ever known now we've already had an

[00:46:00] earthquake that moved every mountain and island from its place so it just can't be good uh that

[00:46:09] one i think kind of brings it all to an end it and that's kind of where it leaves you you know

[00:46:17] at the end so it's an ugly world out there yeah that is our take on biblical judgments

[00:46:26] and how to prepare for it yeah and if you can make it all the way to the seventh bowl of red

[00:46:32] and you're home free you get well you get you get the the prepper gold star you do get a gold star

[00:46:39] you know i'll tell you what you make it past the seven years send me an email and i will send you

[00:46:46] a patch free teacher kevin we're gonna make up a special i survived the apocalypse shirt that you

[00:46:56] gotta get through the seven before i'll let you order it though all right all right that seems

[00:47:00] like you order it now you could put it in the drawer but i don't want you to wear it nobody

[00:47:05] can wear i don't want to see any pictures of people wearing this shirt i'll tell you what

[00:47:08] i'll put it up there you guys can order the shirt but i want you to hold on to it until you make it

[00:47:15] to the end and then you get to wear the shirt and you can wear it be like yep badass yeah exactly

[00:47:23] so i'm gonna do that i'm gonna put that together for you guys but like i said i don't want you

[00:47:27] wearing it until you make it to the end or i don't know we might work it out if you email me

[00:47:35] we can work out a special situation you might be able to uh to wear it but we'll figure it out

[00:47:41] anyway you want to tell us that you hate the bible episodes now i gotta say we've come to an end

[00:47:47] this is the end of the biblical episodes like that series done this is two episodes you had

[00:47:53] to tough it out it was a little rough but you want to tell me that you were so unhappy so offended

[00:47:59] so whatever that's all right email me at prepping badass at gmail.com also i was supposed to mention

[00:48:07] it in the beginning and i forget as always you need to like and subscribe you need to uh put

[00:48:13] comments in the uh itunes or wherever the heck it is that you download podcasts spotify turns out
