00:06:46.900We want to acknowledge all of you joining us tonight and thank you for your prayers, support, and contributions, all of which helps Action for Canada bring solutions and hope to our nation.
00:06:59.700for those of you who are new to the empower hour please let me introduce you to tanya ga
00:07:06.800the founder and leader of action for canada for over 10 years tanya has been raising awareness
00:07:13.280about critical issues facing our nation and she and the action for canada team have been pushing
00:07:19.760back against government corruption and malfeasance as well as educating canadians about our rights
00:07:26.600and freedoms. Will you all please help me welcome Tanya Gaw. Hello, Tanya. Hi, Heather. Good to see
00:07:33.140you. I'm looking forward to tonight's show. And you and I had a bit of a break last week from
00:07:38.380the Empower Hour, but we were still busy working. I was traveling, so it's good to be back. And I'm
00:07:44.620going to provide before we get going a little bit of an update and then Heather will come back on1.00
00:07:48.720and introduce Dan. And like I say, it's going to be a great show tonight. So make sure that you
00:07:54.800plug in and share the link with others as I'm providing this update. So I'm going to go right
00:07:59.580into this. I just thought it was really critical that as we're proceeding and having these wins,
00:08:07.860especially in Alberta right now, that we do all that we can to support the elected officials
00:08:16.260who are working very hard behind the scenes here and responding very positively to our requests.
00:08:24.800And I've mentioned before that I've been at this fight against SOGI since back in 2016, 2017, and trying to ring the bell, and it progressed.
00:08:35.920They knew they would probably have a short period of time until the evidence was so undeniable in the school systems of the harm that it was causing.
00:08:46.000And as they infiltrated all levels of the school system, including school boards, they just set themselves up so well in this attack against our children.
00:08:58.160So it has been a major battle taking this down.
00:09:01.540And we've had this incredible win in Alberta, and we want to make sure that that is going to be maintained.
00:09:09.760And a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that they had responded to our request to get rid of SOGI 123 to remove it from the schools. In BC and Alberta, it's called SOGI 123, WINSEC said in Ontario, Beyond the Basics in another province.
00:09:26.780And so what it is, is they've come up with Bill 25, which states they will remove political and ideological agendas from Alberta classrooms.
00:09:38.160And then Bill 28 was a response to our action last year to remove the books from public libraries.
00:09:46.480Because a year ago, if you'll remember, the pornographic and sexually explicit books, there was a policy that was passed to remove those from the schools.
00:09:54.900but the public libraries within the public schools were exempt.
00:09:59.360So we did a really, I would say, very effective call to action
00:10:04.360requesting that they close the loopholes.
00:10:07.160This is what our action looks like right here.
00:10:10.000And so they have responded with Bill 25,
00:10:12.500but this is a matter that these two bills are actually going to be voted on in September.
00:10:18.760and the lgbtq activists are already out doing their calling and campaigning uh screaming
00:10:26.740victimization and that this is unfair and it's against children's charter of rights and freedoms
00:10:31.480but all we are interested in is the measurable harm this is causing our children so we are going
00:10:38.660to put the blinders on we're going to shut out those alternative voices that have implemented
00:10:43.880this. And we need the Minister of Education. And this is Minister Nicolaitis right here.
00:10:53.120And we need Daniel Smith as well to know we are very grateful for the work that they've done in
00:10:59.260presenting these two bills. And they need our support all the way through to September.
00:11:03.740And so we have sent out this reminder, take action. And I just want to scroll down and show you
00:11:10.520an image. So, I flew to Ottawa last week, Monday, and that was to have conversations with
00:11:18.060some elected officials and for the purpose of highlighting Canada's sovereignty and the fact
00:11:25.920that we are founded on Judeo-Christian biblical principles and that this is the lobbying of
00:11:32.640government that all of us should take responsibility in because this is free, this is key to our
00:11:39.240freedoms and democracy so after uh monday and tuesday in ottawa wednesday i flew to calgary
00:11:45.640kim uh kim mcbride is our national chapter leader coordinator kim met kim lives in calgary and we
00:11:53.780drove together to red deer to a ucp event that i would say was so productive and it was such an
00:12:03.060actual honor to be there and meet some of these people in person and i thought that was critically
00:12:07.880important with all of the work that Action for Canada is doing in lobbying the government,
00:12:13.880in mobilizing the citizens, in helping to write policies. And so to Kim's right, that is Minister
00:12:20.740Nicolaitis. And I would say that was a highlight of my evening was to meet him because he has taken
00:12:26.440a very courageous role in advocating for our children and to make sure that these bills were
00:12:31.580moving forward and then again a great shout out to premier daniel smith for being willing to take
00:12:39.600on these controversial issues and then to put our children first and so they really do need our
00:12:44.880support i did not meet minister williams he's in charge of the municipalities and he was the one
00:12:51.440that was also willing to put forth the policies to shut down and hear this loud and clear so we
00:12:59.880wanted to close the loopholes of public libraries functioning in public schools but they took it a
00:13:05.420step further and they're removing all of the sexual content and pornographic books from the
00:13:11.460access and eyesight of children in all public libraries province-wide so that even goes beyond
00:13:18.720the wind that we were hoping for and this is what your support is doing we need your financial
00:13:23.900support. As I've mentioned, we don't get government subsidies. I wouldn't even want them
00:13:29.680at this point. I don't want to be connected to them. I think that this is a mission for Canadians
00:13:35.260and that we're working hard on your behalf. And so we pray and ask for your continued support.
00:13:42.300And then finally, I want to just bring to your awareness that as we're moving towards June,
00:13:48.420This is the time to be busy reaching out to your municipalities, to your principals, to your school board trustees, and bringing awareness of who is behind the pride flag and the trans flag.0.73
00:14:01.420I mean, these are people with sexual fetishes and deviancy and even pedophilia.0.73
00:14:08.520And it is a very political movement, and we need to get it removed.
00:14:14.240And so we're asking you to take the opportunity now to start reaching out to your elected officials, grab our PDF, the ban non-government and special interest group flags, just merely sign it and get some manila envelopes together, get a team together, put your mayor, city councillor's names on each individual envelope and then serve it, drop it off, deliver it to the city hall or to your trustees.
00:14:43.800Don't be afraid to bring it in and hand it to your principal.
00:14:47.780I think they all thought that they were doing a kindness
00:14:50.640because this group has advanced based on self-victimization,
00:28:42.280And so that's going to be one of my main points today is start a plan.
00:28:46.000start designing something to get out of whatever is going on in our country because you can't
00:28:53.260overcome this and we want you to have a level of hope and a level of joy and peace in your life
00:29:00.040because you were not meant to live a life full of anxiety and here we are at action for canada you
00:29:05.960know we're we're we're not only exposing all of the bad things that are going on we're equipping
00:29:11.560you on how to address them. But at the end of the day, and at the end of the week, and at the end of
00:29:17.260the month, you may be saying, but I still have these bills that I can't pay. And I still need
00:29:21.720to put food on the table. So how do I do that? So tonight, we want to equip you so that you will
00:29:27.720get out of that funk. And you need to start a plan, you need to start preparing for what's
00:29:33.960actually going on today. So let's move on to the next slide. Because I want to remind you of
00:29:39.340something very important. You are not here by mistake. You are here by design. The psalmist
00:29:48.280said about God, you have formed me in my mother's womb. Nobody is here by mistake.
00:29:56.340And the Lord said in Philippians 4, 6, and 7, be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer
00:30:02.640and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. The peace of God
00:30:08.620which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
00:30:13.880When the Lord says, be anxious for nothing, there's a reason for that. You need to trust
00:30:19.000in the Lord. Now, some of you may be watching this and say, wait a minute, I don't believe in
00:30:23.300God or I'm not religious or I don't go to church or I don't have faith in God. That doesn't change
00:30:29.600the fact that God, your creator, still has says, don't be anxious for anything. God exists to meet
00:30:37.160our needs, our daily needs. As a matter of fact, Jesus taught his disciples to pray,
00:30:42.000give us this day our daily bread. And so this is meant tonight to help you turn your trust from
00:30:48.540yourself, from your anxieties, and from your worries to him. And so God says, don't worry
00:30:54.680about anything, but let the peace of God, which passes all understanding, fill your hearts and
00:31:00.780minds in Christ Jesus. So the next slide. I'm literally telling you I've got about four hours
00:31:10.840worth of materials to pass on to you tonight, but we're going to skim. On the food security page,
00:31:16.960I have a number of videos, and I'm going to encourage you to go on that page. Some of the
00:31:23.000videos, I'm going to be talking a lot more about the how-tos, the gardening, so the bottom right,
00:31:29.580The planting the garden now is the time. Now, if you live where Tanya lives, you probably should
00:31:35.440have planted your garden about five or six weeks ago. Here on the East Coast, the frost is just
00:31:40.260coming out of the ground. I've got my greenhouse here. It's 30 degrees in there, but it still hits
00:31:45.040freezing at night. So it's a little bit different. I addressed that in planting the garden. We're
00:31:50.080going to be talking about cooking without power. What happens if the grid goes down? I talk about
00:31:55.280that a little bit in the Cooking Without Power video. Where do you store all kinds of goodies
00:32:00.720that you have? I mean, storage is an issue. We talk about that in pressure canning. How do you
00:32:05.880eat fresh? We'll talk about that in the Tower Garden video. So I'm going to encourage you to
00:32:10.420go ahead and do some further reading, some further video watching in some of the productions that
00:32:16.880have already been made. Okay, so let's go on to the next cart. The other day I was, my wife and I
00:32:23.040were in the grocery store and a gentleman behind us was talking to another lady behind us and he
00:32:28.280was telling her, uh, as he was showing him her, his, his grocery cart, he says, this thing that
00:32:34.100I'm pushing is the most expensive vehicle on earth today. And he's not wrong. You know, when
00:32:41.760you can push your grocery cart to the checkout and it costs you six to $700, uh, that's, that's
00:32:48.440a mortgage payment on your vehicle. It's expensive these days. Now, some people would say, you know,
00:32:55.100we don't believe that it's right to hoard food. We don't believe that it's right to, you know,
00:32:59.900go out and fill your house with food. What does that do to other people? Well, there's a principle
00:33:08.120that comes to mind in the book of Genesis, when God told Joseph that there were hard times coming
00:33:17.540And God gave Joseph a number of visions.
00:33:22.240And so Joseph at the time was just, you know, he was just a peasant.
00:33:26.040He was a prisoner, as a matter of fact.
00:33:27.720And God gave him the interpretation to the dreams that Pharaoh had.
00:33:33.600And so basically, Pharaoh put him in charge.
00:33:36.260And there was seven years of plentiful coming and then seven years of famine.
00:33:39.780And so Joseph devised a plan that he was going to take a percentage of the good years and put food aside because he knew that bad days were coming.
00:33:50.620Now, if you know how to read the Times at all, you know that inflation costs keep going up and up and up.
00:33:56.940Most of you are paying taxes and quite hefty taxes, too.
00:34:00.920They say there are two things that are certainly guaranteed in life, and that's taxes and death.
00:34:06.800And some are saying we're being taxed to death right now.
00:34:09.780And so what's going to happen right now is the economy is going to continue to hurt you.
00:34:15.900And so it's not wrong to put some things aside while you still have a $5 bill and a $10 bill that could still actually buy groceries that are still on the shelf.
00:34:25.420And so what I'm going to do for this first section is help you to figure out how you can go ahead and stock up some necessities and where to put them in your home and how to do it maybe with some friends and with some family members so that if per chance the food chain is broken or the cost of things soar, for example, how does a war and the Strait of Hormuz gets closed?
00:34:50.280How does that affect your gas prices and the cost of groceries?
00:34:54.880And sometimes it doesn't make sense to us, but it is affecting us.
00:34:58.600OK, and so we're going to try to address some of those things today.
00:35:02.220But this is the principle, the principle of while you still have cash, while it still
00:35:07.120buys food and while the food is still there, go ahead and put some aside.
00:35:12.220OK, so let's go on with the next the next slide.
00:35:15.820And Terenzio and I were just talking just before the show opened up about gardening
00:35:21.440because he's Italian and I'm French, you know, and the French with their wines and their
00:35:27.840foods and the Italians with their vegetables and their foods, you know, we have a lot of
00:37:58.000There on the left is a community garden.
00:38:00.340You may have a vacant lot somewhere or some friends or maybe you belong to a church that has like a large lot and there's a lot of vacant space.
00:38:09.460There's in the gardening video, I talk about a community outside or inside Los Angeles, actually, where people actually turn their entire yard into gardens.
00:38:22.500There's no grass to mow and it's beautiful and it's edible.
00:38:27.440And people can actually do that, okay?
00:38:29.920So be creative with any space you may have.
00:38:32.840I've actually seen people buy those bags of dirt.
00:38:36.260And please don't buy the $1 once from Dollar Store that just says dirt
00:38:39.920because it's not worth the dirt you're buying.0.99
00:43:13.620Let me tell you that studies have been made that peanut butter unsealed, or sorry, unopened
00:43:22.680and sealed has been known to have been good and fresh.
00:43:26.820for up to 40 years past its best before date. Okay, now, the best before date, I was in the
00:43:34.640medical field for 30 years. And I could tell you the best before date is a money making thing. Okay,
00:43:41.280we would have medical tubing, intubation tubes, IV lines and all that. Every month, we had to go
00:43:47.980through our ambulances and and anything that had best before date, we had to ship it out,
00:43:52.960but it didn't get shipped out. It was either used for training or it would go to third world
00:43:57.060countries and use unopened bottles of baby aspirin shipped out overseas to be used. So those best
00:44:04.520before dates are just I like to kid with people and I say they're they're just like the like the
00:44:11.540suggestion speed limits. You know, that's just a suggestion. No, seriously, don't don't do that.
00:44:17.580you get a speeding ticket, but you know what, if the, if cans, for example, cans of soup or, or,
00:44:23.180or, uh, uh, you know, like meals in, in, in a can or whatever, if the cans are not bulging
00:44:30.320and there's no rust on them, they will last you quite a long time. And so the best before date,
00:44:36.100uh, is a, is a suggestion. Okay. As long as the cans are not dented, um, you'll be fine.
00:44:45.120okay it's all on how you store your stuff keep it cool keep it dry and if you can keep it in a dark
00:44:54.000place that's even better but be creative with where you store your things okay
00:44:58.920my daughter and her husband were just here the other day they have to replace a bed in their
00:45:04.380basement and they have to buy a new one and I said you know what build yourself a bed frame
00:45:08.940that's high enough off the ground that you can put storage totes underneath because you know
00:45:14.340like I have a large family and I've taught all my kids to be preppers and they're like yeah
00:45:19.120absolutely that's what we want to do okay they just bought their first home and so be creative
00:45:24.860with where and how you store your stuff okay all right so uh on that as well I have done a number
00:45:32.980of videos on dehydrating because did you know that you can uh you can dehydrate a lot of your
00:45:39.620things. Meat. So I am a hunter. And so the cupboard doors behind me here, I've got all
00:45:48.580kinds of bottled venison and bear and rabbit. And that stuff is good for 20 years. No joke.
00:45:57.840It does not take up room in the freezer. And it's safe. And it's my wife even buys a lean hamburger
00:46:05.700and she'll stick it in a jar and she'll cook it for 90 minutes at 11 pounds of pressure.
00:46:11.620Once it cools down, it goes on the shelf. It's good for 10 or 15 years. So if the power goes
00:46:17.120out for a long time, we'll talk about that in a little bit. It's safe and it's good. Okay. Okay.
00:46:23.100Let's go on to the next slide. So a tower garden is another thing that I've done a short video on.
00:46:30.460As a matter of fact, one of the team members on our team, Jenny, she's, I don't know if they still call them distributors or not, but the two photos, the one on the left and on the right is, I just took that, I believe yesterday or the day before of our Tower Garden.
00:46:46.400It looks messy right now because we're in the process of starting up some new lettuces and herbs.
00:46:52.240But the Tower Garden by Juice Plus, and again, there'll be a link in the description, is a very good investment.
00:46:58.340Now, I just went on the Canadian site the other day.
00:47:01.120The Tower Garden itself is probably a little over $800.
00:47:04.720And then the light kit, which includes the lights and the timer system, is probably another $400 and change.
00:47:13.960So you're looking at, you know, a little over $1,200.
00:52:46.160You can put a kettle on there. And here's the thing. You can build these things now. You can you can have your children build them, your grandkids build them, and you can use them to trade when it all hits the fan or you can use them to sell for a few dollars and get, you know, some commodity to to buy other things.
00:53:06.560there's a company called BioLite like the one in the middle there and it's a little bit bigger than
00:53:13.860this and you literally feed twigs in the top and as it burns it produces electricity to recharge
00:53:20.340either a cell phone or one of those little battery packs and it's so cool the way they work
00:53:27.780now there's another kit that comes with it that goes along the top that's a cooking platform and
00:53:33.280so you can cook some bacon and eggs and sausages or whatever or you can put a kettle on top and
00:53:39.760create water and at the same time you're making electricity and that other kit that comes with it
00:53:44.840there's a nice little led light that sticks out the top so if you're using it at night you have
00:53:49.680a nice little night light now here's something cool i was cleaning out the bottom of our medicine
00:53:54.320cabinet the other day and i found two um you know those old-fashioned uh hot water bottles like you
00:54:00.700see at the bottom there the the beige one there we have two of them we've never used them but i
00:54:05.220was asking my wife the other day do we have any of those because her feet were cold and i thought i
00:54:09.500fill it with hot water but i was on amazon and so i have the link to that one there look at the
00:54:14.720fancy little pink cozy on there you can stick your hands in there because i was thinking you know if
00:54:20.260you have a way to warm up some water put it in there we're talking about heat here a little bit
00:54:25.780But if you get cold, you can stick one of those inside your jacket.
00:54:29.800If the power goes out and your house is cold, you can stick it at the bottom of your your sleeping bag or you can just like wear it like inside your clothing or whatever, and it will help keep you warm.
00:54:43.720Right. So the little bio light there, for example, you're creating a little bit of heat, you're cooking, you're making electricity and you're providing hot water to put in a hot water bottle to keep yourself warm.
00:54:54.820So you're doing four things with one thing.
00:56:16.720all of our fuel has ethanol in it. Okay. We don't have ethanol free fuel. And so you have to use
00:56:25.760the stable, the fuel stabilizer. And so I put a link again in there, Canadian Tires, where I get,
00:56:30.980I've got, I don't know how many bottles, I've got all kinds of bottles, but literally you don't need
00:56:35.320very much, like basically a little over an ounce, we'll do like two and a half gallons of gasoline.
00:56:42.000And so the way I do it is if I have a 10 liter jug, I will put the desired amount in the bottom
00:56:47.380of the gas can, the jerry can. Then I will put the gas and it mixes it as it goes in.
00:56:52.440And it will keep your fuel stable for two years. I have a diesel tractor and I do the same with
00:56:59.140the diesel. I put diesel stabilizer in it. Same thing. Now we need to talk about the different
00:57:04.680types of generators. There are inverter generators today, which are fairly new in the
00:57:10.980market, but they are fantastic. What that means is this. My old style generator, when you start
00:57:16.540it, it runs wide open, whether you've got anything plugged into it or not. And everybody down the
00:57:22.440road, down to the highway can hear it. The inverter generators are great because they run at a very
00:57:28.880low idle speed. And as you plug things into it that draw power, their speed goes up. So they
00:57:35.020start drawing a little bit more fuel. Okay. So that is worth your investment. The one on the
00:57:41.440lower left, the champion one, I believe those are a Canadian tire thing that you can get.
00:57:47.340They will run on gasoline, on diesel and on propane. So that's something that you may want
00:57:53.040to consider as well. Okay. Speaking of propane, it will never hurt you to have extra propane
00:58:00.820fuel tanks around your house. In cooking without power, I talk about having a barbecue and some
00:58:07.800propane tanks. Sometimes at Canadian Tire, the little propane tanks will go on sale, like three
00:58:13.300for $12 or whatever. If you have extra money, buy some, store them somewhere safe, because when it
00:58:20.200all hits the fan, people may not have them that need them. You've got something to trade with.
00:58:25.640Okay, it's a commodity, a good tradable commodity. Okay. All right, let's go on to the next slide, because there's a few other things that we need to talk about. What about electric generators? I have two Jackery's and fantastic. Absolutely amazing. Now they are costly. Okay, it's worth the investment. So the photo on the far left, I have that Jackery.
00:58:51.720it's a 2000 unit. So 2000 watts. And I also have the photo on the right, the far right,
00:58:59.180the one with the handle, it's a 300 plus. And both of these units, they recharge multiple ways.
00:59:06.220So when you're traveling in your vehicle, there's a cord that you can plug into your cigarette
00:59:10.460lighter in your vehicle, and they'll recharge that way. They also come with a cord that while
00:59:15.400you have power in your house, you can plug them into your house and they'll recharge that way.
00:59:19.420they will recharge with a generator and i also have a number of solar panels so when the sun's
00:59:25.600out they will recharge that way they are quiet so you use them inside your home you don't hear
00:59:31.780there's a little tiny little fan that runs but you hardly ever hear it okay so it could be pouring
00:59:36.480rain outside you bring those in your house now jackery also has a entire house unit that gets
00:59:43.400hardwired into your house. And you may need the help of an electrician to do that. But if the
00:59:49.980power goes out, basically, it's quiet, and it'll fire up your entire house. You don't need gasoline,
00:59:56.000you don't need propane, you don't need diesel or anything. And it's literally hardwired into
01:00:02.180your house. So there's a link to, I believe there's a link to Jackery. Now I've got to say
01:00:09.140this Canadian Tire has started selling Jackery as well however if you get it right from Jackery
01:00:15.220the price will be the same as Canadian Tire but for example like the Jackery 300 plus
01:00:20.780right from Jackery they throw in an extra solar panel for the same price and the solar panels
01:00:26.500are $200 each so you get a bit of a bonus okay all right on to the next slide there's a few other
01:00:33.480things we don't have time to talk about but I just want to show you these photos we're going
01:00:38.120to describe a few things in the next slide. But when it comes to things hitting the fan, what
01:00:42.920should you have? There's all kinds of things you probably should or could have. You need to have
01:00:49.960a plan. Remember the very first part of this video presentation, I said, if you need to have a plan,
01:00:56.620you need to think, okay, if there's a flood in my area, where do I go? What do I do? Who do I
01:01:02.360connect with? Who do I contact? Do I stay put? Is there someplace safe I can go? In the first photo
01:01:08.560on the left, you'll see there's things like lanterns. I'll talk about lanterns in just a
01:01:12.900moment. There's things like candles and utensils, a little French press there, a kettle that you
01:01:22.860heat over a wood stove. There's your little blue water bottle, hot water bottle, right?
01:01:27.260There's bottles of wine in the bottom left corner. Now, I've heard of people that go to the wine
01:01:31.420store, get those wine kits for like $120 and get the wine store to make them not so that they will
01:01:37.540have wine to drink, but they'll have something to trade. You know, it ends up that a bottle of wine
01:01:43.020made from the wine store costs you $4. And if it all hits the fan, you can trade them for 20 bucks
01:01:49.480or whatever. Okay, something to consider. The photo on the far right has a lot of the items
01:01:55.020we're going to talk about in the next slide. But the photo in the middle is what I want you to get
01:01:59.740your, to get your attention. My, uh, one of my grandsons just turned 14 years old a couple of
01:02:05.260days ago. And, uh, I said, so what are you doing for your birthday? He says, well, I just came back
01:02:09.700from, uh, uh, picking up 13 chainsaws. And he says, just before Christmas, I picked up another
01:02:14.800eight or nine. And, uh, he said, I fixed them up. I cleaned them up. I put a new bar and chain on
01:02:21.140them and then I trade them or I sell them. He's into four wheelers as well. And, uh, he learned
01:02:26.440himself well my son helped him but he taught himself how to repair small engines and you know
01:02:34.300in a case of a disaster people will want or need chainsaws you know trees are down people will want
01:02:40.920firewood and it may be hard to come by so here's a 14 year old kid who just turned 14
01:02:46.460who's got a collection of chainsaws and so that's something you may want to consider too you may say
01:02:54.440I don't know a thing about chainsaws, you know what, you can learn a lot on YouTube these days
01:02:58.420while you still can. And I wouldn't go out and buy a whole bunch of lawnmowers because people
01:03:03.760may not be so worried about mowing their grass during a state of emergency, but a chainsaw,
01:03:08.980maybe. Or maybe you've got a grandchild or a grandson who may have interest in this,
01:03:14.540just something to consider, okay? Or if you have a chainsaw or two, you may want to consider
01:03:20.000picking up an extra, you know, bar and chain and gear oil and all that because it may be hard to
01:03:26.860come by in case of an emergency. Okay, so let's go on to the next slide. We'll get into a few more
01:03:33.180detailed things here. Have you ever thought that, you know, in case of an emergency, you may want
01:03:38.200to shower, but you also may want to clean your clothes? Well, how do you do that with no
01:03:41.980electricity? Well, here on Amazon is a really neat little washing machine. You just put your
01:03:47.060clothes in a bit of water bit of soap and you just turn the handle and then you wring out your clothes
01:03:53.320remember those old washing machines that your grandparents used to have you know and then there
01:03:58.740was those rollers on top and i was always warned if you stick your hand in there it'll be flat as
01:04:03.680a pancake well i tried it once it hurt but it did my hand didn't come out flat as a pancake but you
01:04:09.400know you can still buy those rollers and you just turn turn it by hand and i've got the links for
01:04:14.400that in the description of the video okay and so you can wash your clothes and i didn't put it in
01:04:21.200here but it goes without saying you can buy a clothes line like a camping clothes line with
01:04:25.980clothes pins and that so you can actually smell nice and you know you can have clean clothes and
01:04:32.100people are like wow do you come from the you know non-danger zone or whatever things like those
01:04:38.140headlights on the left. I have some right here in the drawer as we go up the door. I have some in
01:04:45.100the console of my vehicle. They are super bright, super handy. Nobody wants to be cranky in case of
01:04:53.460an emergency. So we all need coffee, right? And so a French press, you're going to need coffee and
01:04:59.560your electric coffee machine won't work. So you're going to need coffee beans and a little hand
01:05:04.380grinder. We're all going to need batteries. And so here's a little caddy to organize your batteries.
01:05:08.800That Dietz lantern there that you see, I think I own nine of them. I love Dietz lanterns. Dietz
01:05:14.800lanterns are also called hurricane lanterns because you can't blow them out. You literally can't. You
01:05:20.340have to push the little thing with your thumb to lift up the top and blow with all your might
01:05:25.840to blow them out. They are super handy. Now they don't give off a lot of light, but they run on
01:05:31.500kerosene so a gallon of kerosene will last you forever and you can get them on marketplace
01:05:37.180sometimes for 20 or 30 bucks brand new they vary in size colored whatever but you know 60 70 80
01:05:43.580bucks but i tell you they are wonderful and they're also a collector item too so and then on the far
01:05:48.920left i've got these um these communication devices they're they're kind of like a satellite radio uh
01:05:56.240they are they can be pricey but let me say one thing about this before we go on to the next slide
01:06:00.240know with your people in case of an emergency where you're going to meet and where you're
01:06:05.360going to go and how you're going to get there roads may be blocked if the powers that be don't
01:06:10.900want you driving anymore it's not that they're going to make gas on a like super expensive
01:06:15.580they're going to stop delivering gas to your gas stations so you won't be able to get there anyway
01:06:20.560you won't have gas okay so find a place where maybe you can walk to to meet up be it with people
01:06:28.380from your church or people from your neighborhood or your family, figure out a way. Okay. All right.
01:06:34.800Next slide. People will need to get creative and it's time to be creative now. Put your creative
01:06:45.280juices on now. Now, at one point I grew up in Montreal. We went everywhere on a bicycle,
01:06:52.000especially in the summer, as soon as it was light and until it got dark. Okay. But look at this
01:06:57.980bicycle doesn't that look a little tacky but doesn't also look a little bit useful these days
01:07:03.860right as long as you don't get a flat tire i saw a really nice one i didn't put the picture on but
01:07:08.300it had a really nice little wooden crate in the back that all folded down so it looked like nobody
01:07:13.820wanted to steal it kind of thing but it folded all up and you can put like all kinds of groceries
01:07:19.740on there right i mean that may be how we have to get her get around and it's cheap it's on pedal
01:07:26.300power okay um so think how you can communicate uh now i've got a section here just called
01:07:33.320protection so acquire good hunting knives like really good hunting lives like bowie knives and
01:07:38.940stuff like that you know and i'm at the point now where uh in the door of all our vehicles my wife
01:07:45.500and i right in the door like right in the handle of the door we have knives because you never know
01:07:51.140who's going to come to your window or whatever, you know, and I've taught my wife, like, how you
01:07:56.820just protect yourself, because you need to, okay? If they come and try to take your guns away, don't
01:08:02.680let them, but also have ammunition, like ammunition is hard to get by now. So if you know somebody
01:08:08.420that reloads ammunition, get some, okay? Machetes, we have machetes in all of our outbuildings,
01:08:16.920just you know i i spent three years in the jungles of brazil uh in the amazon jungle doing missions
01:08:22.540work there and when i came back i brought some really nice machetes home and they're all sharp
01:08:27.400and ready to like you just never know it's becoming a crazy world okay uh bows and arrows
01:08:34.040you may say i don't even know how to use a bow and arrow you know what learn it's fun it's actually
01:08:39.280very fun crossbow like i hunt with the crossbow but even just a simple recurve bow and arrow
01:08:46.000it's fun to use. So learn to practice, just have fun with it. And you just never know. Okay. Have
01:08:53.380a good supply of cash on hand, as well as gold, silver and other precious metals to trade. You
01:08:58.800may say, you know what? I don't have enough money to buy gold, silver, or precious metals. You know
01:09:06.080what? If you can buy a couple of silver coins, do it. Okay. Junk metal. We have Steve that we
01:09:15.860work with at uh silver gold bull he sells bags of junk metal it'll cost you a few bucks uh every
01:09:23.380time i get a handful of change i don't just i have bottles of change that i keep around i don't just
01:09:28.520stick it in a bottle i look at i look at every quarter to make sure it's not one of those older
01:09:34.660quarters and all the other old dimes i make sure because i've i've found some i have and i've got
01:09:41.760bottles of them. Okay. Uh, and then that survival guide on the left is something you can look at
01:09:46.760later, but shelter, you know, you may need to have shelter, get one of them cheap tents, like a two
01:09:52.120man tent and stick it in your vehicle because you never know you've got to go quickly. Um,
01:09:59.300you'll not be sorry. You have it if you absolutely need it, you know, um, a cheap fishing rod and
01:10:04.940some tackle or whatever be prepared is what i'm saying okay all right and uh let's go on to the
01:10:12.560next one we're almost done this section here so things to stock up with now to trade with later
01:10:18.320because you know you've heard it said some things may actually be difficult to acquire later on now
01:10:24.120before i i get into this list here you'll see a canadian tire bucket there on the bottom left with
01:10:29.040the lady might say what in the world is that for well some of these things here are easily
01:10:34.060storable in these Canadian tire buckets. These Canadian tire buckets are actually food grade
01:10:39.300and inside the lid, it's, there's a rubber seal so you can seal them tight. You can actually fill
01:10:46.320these with water when you're done with them. Now you can fill these with water. You can put 10
01:10:51.400drops of 6% hydrogen peroxide and that water will store for 10 years. It won't go bad.
01:10:58.260okay we use hydrogen peroxide here mixed with baking soda um to brush our teeth so it's it's
01:11:05.440it won't take you won't taste 10 drops in there as a matter of fact in this water bottle i put
01:11:11.12015 to 20 drops of hydrogen peroxide six percent the the food grade in here okay so it's not going
01:11:17.260to hurt you so these buckets are about five dollars at canadian tire and the lids are two
01:11:21.460dollars it's a cheap thing and you can take all of these things here on this list stick them in there
01:11:26.700and I'll tell you, these are good things
01:11:56.700Right. Socks, batteries, cooking oil, antibiotics. Now, those might be a little tricky to get, but you can get generic antibiotics sometimes.
01:12:04.620OK, so vitamins, especially zinc and magnesium.
01:12:09.540OK, GI meds, gastrointestinal medications, especially the anti-diarrhea type medications, because people will be drinking dirty water and so they can get the diarrheas.
01:12:20.600So vinyl gloves, bandages. So coffee filters. There's so many uses for coffee filters and coffee.
01:12:26.640Dried foods, especially fruits and nuts.
