DAC - Chicken Wire Is For Chickens

[00:00:00] Music Awesome, you'll advocate some practices for preparedness. One ready for any event that would disrupt the daily routine. That is a Prepper. Hello everyone out there on internet, Radio Land. This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy. And I am out and about. I am loose.

[00:00:40] I am off the chain. I am a free man right now. I am away from the warden. Yes, yes. I am actually on a work release program. She released me to go to Home Depot. My second favorite store. Second only to Costco.

[00:00:59] Oh my gosh, did you hear Family Feud? That was a hoot. I have to apologize. I have no idea why my audio was so bad. I even used my cell phone thinking that gets a better signal than my internet. And it would work better, but it did not.

[00:01:20] So there is something up with Skype. Because I do these daily audio caches and everything sounds fine. But when I join other people on Skype, it's when it gets kind of goofy, kind of wonky. But we are going to do it again.

[00:01:40] We are definitely going to do it at Prepper Camp. That will be awesome because we will all be there around the campfire. And I have to get me a dinger and a buzzer. Because my throat the next day was rough. Rough.

[00:01:56] But that is not why I am doing this daily audio cache. We have some internet radio listeners that have emailed me. And if you are the one that sent me the money, cash and an envelope, let's just make up a name. Richard.

[00:02:17] Yours is going out in the mail today. So your memory sticks. And I also put a little gift in there. I did that for the other listener too. The other listener, he was kind enough to send me an email saying, let other Preppers learn from my mistakes.

[00:02:39] So I am going to cover what happened on his homestead and then kind of tell you what the solutions are. And he had a raccoon problem, which on the mountain here, we have raccoons all over the place. I do my very best to quell the herd.

[00:03:02] But they are prolific. I think they are the only thing you can shoot without an actual hunting license. I am not sure about that, but in Virginia it is unlimited on raccoons. So anyway, he had a couple chicken pens and he ended up chasing four raccoons.

[00:03:29] Here the rooster going nuts very early in the morning. That is when the raccoons usually early in the morning and right at dusk. I mean you can hear them in the trees calling. They make a sound, just Google raccoon sounds.

[00:03:48] And I am sure you have heard them before. Anyway, two of them chased away and two of them got in a tree. Now he had his trusty 22, but it was dark and you are shooting at a dark thing up in a dark tree and he said glasses.

[00:04:10] And of course we all suffer from that right? Your vision does not get better with age. Okay, just saying. Anyway, he ended up going in and getting the 12 gauge to dispatch the last raccoon and the 12 gauge did the number.

[00:04:31] I mean it is one of the apocalyptic weapons that I would have in my arsenal. Okay, a 12 gauge, a 22, a 9mm and some type of AR platformed either 556 or 7.62. Okay, that is the apocalyptic armory. So 12 gauge, yeah. But that was not the point.

[00:05:11] I am telling you the whole story but the point of the matter was chicken wire is for chickens. And that is so true. We learned a valuable lesson very early on and it had to do with a raccoon and I have been waging war on them ever since.

[00:05:34] I mean it was a look like a massacre. Nine chickens just killed. Maria couldn't bring herself to go clean it up, I had to do it and from then on we don't do anything unless it is at least raccoon proof. At least and if possible bear proof.

[00:06:04] So that is what we do up here on the mountain. Know that chicken wire is for chickens and if you have predators that is not going to work. Matter of fact our neighbors routinely lose chickens

[00:06:22] and we don't know why they don't improve upon their cages and fencing and all that. We just can't figure it out. They are feeding foxes and raccoons, they are just feeding them. The fox, we have a fox in the area, I haven't been able to trap it yet.

[00:06:42] But it just knows when to come by and it don't come by our property because ours are electrified mesh fences. So it goes by our neighbors and just snatches a chicken whenever it wants. I don't know, I don't know some people.

[00:07:05] Anyway I am going to be doing this daily audio cache as I am driving around town doing chores, running errands. So this might be an extra long daily audio cache. So let's see what all I can pack into this baby.

[00:07:25] So I ran all my errands now I am headed back. I got to thinking because Dan Bongino is still talking about the attempted assassination on President Trump.

[00:07:39] And I got to thinking about, you know, if any of you out there in radio listening land has ever been shot at. Okay? Your first instinct is not to jump up and put your fist in the air and say fight, fight, fight.

[00:08:00] Okay? I have been shot at and I have been, you know, pointed guns at me. So let me put it to you this way. I tried to get as low as I possibly could and make myself. I wanted to turn into Ant-Man and get as small as possible.

[00:08:29] That should let everybody know what type of man President Trump is. And last night he did an interview with Laura Ingram and it really showed a very personal side. That you don't very often get to see. And she asked him, what did your wife think?

[00:09:00] And he said that she was watching it live and she saw it all go down. And he said that she can't still bring herself to talk about it. And he's too emotional. And he says, well that means she really, really likes me. Yeah. That's kind of funny.

[00:09:29] She did have a son with you. Anyway, just my random thoughts, you know, what goes through the NBC guy's mind in a day? Did you hear the replay last night? The Intrepid Commander put up a blast from the past for Preppers Live.

[00:09:55] And it was a great episode back in the day when the Intrepid Commander got Omicron. And wow, it was really something. You know, you think back at COVID and all that kind of crap was going on. And man, we went through it.

[00:10:19] In the Jones household, we did not get COVID for over two years. As far as we could tell, you know, early on we got sick, but they didn't even have tests for it then. So we might have had COVID from the very, very beginning and didn't know it.

[00:10:41] Deanna got really sick, had a fever for several days, which was unusual. And that was in January when COVID first came to the United States. But that was before anybody was reporting any cases and all that kind of stuff. Uh-oh. More spam calls. Gosh, I hate election season.

[00:11:07] You get more spam calls and why am I getting them from Democrats? That's what I don't understand. Joe Biden's calling me to raise money. What's up with that? I think someone used my phone number and filled it out. Just as a joke.

[00:11:32] Anyway, the PBM family, I'm going to pause it until I get home. If I think of something else, I'll jump back on here and check out last night's flashback. Making food. I think that's what we were talking about.

[00:11:53] Well, speaking of making food, when we butchered those turkeys and the three geese, it was over 200 pounds of meat and we filled one freezer. So we're looking at doing another round of butchering of some roosters and some hens that aren't laying anymore.

[00:12:17] And we're thinking about very, very hard thinking about canning the meat. It's something we'd have to do when we lose power anyways. And why not have a few cans of meat on the shelf? I've always threatened to do that with some deer meat

[00:12:35] because it really makes it pressure-can it. So it's like cooking it inside the can. And you could just pop it right out. You put the seasoning and everything in there. It draws its own juice and it just makes it super tender, very tasty.

[00:12:57] You know, clove of garlic, some rosemary, stick that in there and can away. Okay, some more random thoughts. So the Intrepid Commander did a newscast about the article he found on the Collapse blog, Collapse Survival Blog or whatever. Whatever. I can't remember.

[00:13:23] But anyway, he was saying about how women are getting tubal ligations and men are getting vasectomies even before they get married. And I have to say, yes, Alex did that. He did it when he was 25, I think.

[00:13:51] Before he got out of the Air Force and he just said, I don't want to have any kids. And there are some people on the planet that definitely should not have children and Alex is one of them. So I'm just saying, sometimes it's a good thing.
