1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: You want to be What is up, friend, Scott Slum Show,

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW. As we get ready for you know what,

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: the White Death is coming. Driving in the driving this morning,

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: completely clear by the way, and I saw people driving

5
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: like there was snow on the ground already. I saw

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: one person with their flashers on. Maybe they're having some

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: sort of medical or auto emergency. I don't know, but

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: that is preparing. I'm getting ready to drive like a knucklehead.

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: That's how bad the storm is going to be. Latest models, fry.

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: I think there's like an American and European model on

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: this one, and I tend to like the American models

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: a little bit but a little bit bustier.

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: Wait what what so catch Mark is over.

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: Nine is saying that like six to ten inches right now,

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: and as we get closer to Saturday, which you're fairly

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: closer right now inside that twenty four to thirty six

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: hour window, you're pretty they're pretty dead on accurate know

18
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: what's going to happen at this point. So we're expecting

19
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: six to ten right now, and of course sub zero

20
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: temperatures as well. It is a snow crisis. The White

21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: Death is here in Cincinnati, and when you roll home

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: and Jim Cantre is set up on your front lawn,

23
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: damn it.

24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: You know it's bad.

25
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: Our old buddy Creek Stewart back on the show this

26
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: morning from the aforementioned Weather Channel, and he's a preparedness influenced,

27
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: survival influencer.

28
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: Creek, what do you know, Well, I'll tell you what.

29
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 3: That sounds like an end of the world type. So

30
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 3: it's always a good idea to carry an emergency kit

31
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: in your car for a variety of instances. In the Midwest,

32
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 3: snow is obviously a huge concern, maybe not so much

33
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: one inch, but it happened, and there are there are backups,

34
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 3: and you know, we just saw where was it in Virginia?

35
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, yeah, that was a couple of years ago.

36
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 2: But still that's crazy.

37
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: So who would have thought that would have ever happened.

38
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: So but again, didn't they get like a couple feet

39
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: of snow? Ten inches of snow and it hit suddenly

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: and it was like four or five inches an hour.

41
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: I know in the Northeast, you know, they got a

42
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: couple of feet of snow in some spots maybe where

43
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: you are, but you know, in Cincinnati, Ohio, we get

44
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: like five six inches of snow. That's a huge weather

45
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: event for us. And it's not like we live in

46
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: Atlanta or Dallas or Memphis. In Cincinnati, we do get snow.

47
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: We get several inches of snow a year. But when

48
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: we watch the people on TV doing live reports from

49
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: the Salt Dome and talk about making sure you've got

50
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: bottled water and snacks with you in a blanket and

51
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: make sure your cell phone's charged, it's in they're forecasting

52
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: maybe two inches of snow. It's a little bit ridiculous.

53
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: Don't people then tend to go, you know what, what

54
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: am I stupid? I don't need to bring bottled water

55
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: and snacks with me if there's two inches of snow

56
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: on the highway, if I'm traveling in the off country,

57
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: or I'm in Maswell, Kentucky on a roller road, maybe

58
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: if they're getting seven inches of snow. But you know,

59
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, inside the belt Wave, we're getting two inches.

60
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: You're not gonna die and be stranded in two inches

61
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: of snow. It's not gonna happen. Or either that or

62
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: the world's worst driver. And I think the Darwin is

63
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: calling the herd.

64
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 3: If that's the case, yeah, who knows. But regardless of

65
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: how much snow might be coming, it's always a great

66
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 3: idea to have an emergency kit in your car with

67
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 3: some with some extra clothes, some walking shoes that may

68
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: not be your work shoes, and some power bars, some

69
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 3: snack bars, just really common sense type, just really common

70
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: sense type stuff for a vehicle. Now, being being trapped

71
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 3: in your house or for an uncertain amount of time,

72
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: now that's a whole different conversation all together with an

73
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 3: entirely unique set of preparedness steps from food to heating

74
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 3: and water and ways to manage sanitation and everything. So,

75
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 3: you know, being trapped in your car and being being

76
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 3: stuck at home for a while are two certainly different circumstances.

77
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

78
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: So with the storm, we're going to have ice, you're

79
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna have a little snow, and if you're out your driving,

80
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: maybe you get stuck. We've seen this before though, people

81
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: getting trapped in their cars. I think you mentioned that

82
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: thing out in Virginia not long ago, where people are

83
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: stuck in their car for ten fifteen hours at a time.

84
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: You know, I look at the first ten hours as

85
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: bonus time away from my wife, like a little vacation.

86
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: After that, maybe I get a little bit bored. But

87
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, I figure I got my phone, I probably

88
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: got a charger, hopefully I got a full take a gas.

89
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: What's the strategy. Let's say you're stuck somewhere and you

90
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: got a quarter take a gas. What should you do?

91
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: How do you preserve that?

92
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: Because you got to worry about heat, but you also

93
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: don't want to run a gas.

94
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: Well in in cold weather environments, you definitely want to

95
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: run that run that run that vehicle intermittently h throughout

96
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 3: the you know, throughout the time that you might be stuck.

97
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: And that is probably when you would be tapping into

98
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: some of those preps that you made in your vehicle

99
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 3: ahead of time. And I can guarantee you one thing

100
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: that every single person in stuff on that I ninety

101
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 3: five situation, they all none of them ever thought in

102
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 3: a million years that that would happen. Sure, but it did. Yeah,

103
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: And that's and that's the and that's the common theme

104
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: that I think is the big takeaway is that you know,

105
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: so oftentimes disasters strike to people who who never sawed

106
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 3: him coming. And the fact of the matter is is

107
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 3: that they happen all the time. To to people all

108
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: over in all walks of life, in every in every

109
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 3: state and every circumstance, and it's just it's just a

110
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: reality in our lives these days. You can you know,

111
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: I have a saying that it's not if, but when

112
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 3: you're going to be faced with natural disaster one day,

113
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 3: and I believe that to be true.

114
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: Uh Creek Stewards on the show.

115
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: Creek is with the Weather Channel and the author of

116
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: the Disaster Ready Home, a step by step emergency preparedness

117
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: mantle for sheltering in place now generally in the Midwest.

118
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: That's why I love living in Cincinnati. When we talk

119
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: about maybe weather events that the biggest thing we got

120
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,119
Speaker 1: to worry about is an inch or two of snow,

121
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: but mainly tornadoes.

122
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: There's really not you can do.

123
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: You know, we talk about hurricane disaster preparedness or you know,

124
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: living off the grid or something like that. Those are

125
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: your wild fires men, But you know, in the event

126
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: of a tornado, there's not a lot you can There's

127
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: nothing you can do to prepare a head for that,

128
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: can you Because if you get your house gets hit

129
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: by a tornado, that kit that you made is probably gone.

130
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, as far as the torn goes, and

131
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 3: that would be a circumstance where you'd really be leaning

132
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: in on what's called a bug out bag, which is

133
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 3: a seventy two hour disaster survival kit that you would

134
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: grab in the event of an evacuation. And people use

135
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: bug out bags and disaster survival kits all the time

136
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 3: when they have to evacuate, And so we think about

137
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 3: the same type of supplies in a bug out bag

138
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: that we might have in our home, but only on

139
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 3: a smaller scale. So we want to be able to

140
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: last for three days if we absolutely had to, So

141
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: we want all the food, water, and tools and supplies

142
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 3: and important paperwork. Especially in tornado territory, you want to

143
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 3: make sure that you've got your important papers especially ready

144
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: to grab to put into your bug out bag, because

145
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: if something does happen to your home, whether it's a

146
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: wildfire or a tornado, and you lose all of those

147
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: important documents, it becomes exponentially more difficult to put your

148
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 3: life back together. So that one step alone, grabbing those

149
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: important documents and stuffing them into your bug out bag

150
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: last minute in the event of an evacuation can make

151
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: a huge difference in your life should something like that happen.

152
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes sense cash probably that medice whatever, you know,

153
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: your your prescriptions, that kind of stuff.

154
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: But most people don't think that.

155
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: I remember right after nine to eleven, that was the

156
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: fear that you know, people were hoarding things like plastic

157
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: sheeting and duct tape and having a safe room and

158
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: getting their bug out bag, writing and all this stuff,

159
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: and then we kind of lost interest because we never

160
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: think it's going to happen.

161
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

162
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I think I think that's a common

163
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: that's a common mentality with you know, most people who

164
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: experience a disaster is you know, it's never going to

165
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: happen to me, But it does, you know, it does.

166
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: It's just it's the reality. And when I talk about disaster, Scott,

167
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: you know, I'm talking about the ones that actually happened

168
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,239
Speaker 3: on a regular basis. You know, I'm not talking about

169
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: Yellowstone explosion or an alien invasion or anything like that.

170
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 3: You know, I'm talking about the real stuff that.

171
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: Happened, Which is why I'm having you on Creek Stewart

172
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: because you know, I mean, it's not like you know,

173
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: you're a you know, end of the world apocalyptic survivalist

174
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: kind of guy right where you're you're preparing for armageddon,

175
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: nuclear winter. You know the kind of people that listen

176
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: to Bill cunningham Sunday Night Show here on seven hundred

177
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: WRW or there. They're buying pounds of gold and fifty

178
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: five gallon drums of freeze dried lima beans for the

179
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: for the apocalypse, because they want to survive the apocalypse.

180
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: And then you look at the people who do that

181
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: and I go, I don't know if you're you're gonna

182
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: be a good representation of breeding and the kind of people.

183
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm just going to die when when it comes. I

184
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: don't really care too much about fifty five gallon drums

185
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna eat. If I'm going to eat nothing

186
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: but a diet of purified water and lima beans and

187
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: sitting on piles of gold so that I can emerge

188
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: like a like a cockroach from the end times, I

189
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: don't know if I want to be the person replicating society.

190
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. I don't think I want

191
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: to live through that. I'm good to check out.

192
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's definitely a lot more practical approach to

193
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 3: think about that that actually happened, and and some of

194
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: those disasters do keep us inside for at least a

195
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 3: short period of time, and being the prepared, being prepared

196
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: to deal with those circumstances from food and water and

197
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 3: heating and you know, off grid cooking and uh dealing

198
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: with human waste for at least a short period of time,

199
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 3: a few days, possibly even a few weeks. I mean

200
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 3: this day and age, having those pressed in place is

201
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: no longer a conversation that you've had in the basement

202
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 3: amongst preppers, I mean, especially since this whole pandemic popped

203
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: off the past couple of years. You know, this is

204
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 3: a conversation that you know, you're really average person is having,

205
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: Like it made a lot of people really think about,

206
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 3: you know, do I have the things at home that

207
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: I need at home? Should I have to you know,

208
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: sind for myself for a while. Yeah.

209
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you bring up an interesting point too,

210
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: because you talk about, you know, you need you need air,

211
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: you need heat, you need water, all these things, you

212
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: need food and then you're good. No one ever, when

213
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: they're hunkered down in their end of the world bunker

214
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: creek Stewart, I've never seen them worry about the biggest

215
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: problem with that and that is human waste. Dealing with

216
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: the human waste problem right there, because I think you'll

217
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: agree with me. You can only hold it for so long,

218
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, and I think by the way

219
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: you talk about muscle building this time of year, I'm

220
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: gonna get on a plan, go to the gym, workout,

221
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: build my biceps, triceps, lats, all those things. I think

222
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: the sphincter is the most underrated muscle in the whole body.

223
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go. Well, let me solve that problem

224
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: for you once and for all. It's gonna cost you

225
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: about twenty bucks. Okay, Okay, You're gonna go to your

226
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: local hardware store and grab a five gallon bucket, and

227
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 3: then on Amazon you're gonna order a snap on five

228
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: gallon bucket toilet seats for about fifteen dollars. And then

229
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 3: you're gonna go to your local hardware store, your local

230
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 3: wood shop, and after their leftover saw dust, pour in

231
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 3: about one inch of saw dust in the bottom of

232
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 3: that bucket, go number one and number two right on top,

233
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: and when you're done, back up with sawdust about another

234
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 3: inch or so. And that bucket's going to slowly filled up.

235
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: And once it gets to the top. You just put

236
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 3: a solid lid on top, slide it over in the

237
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 3: corner of your shed or your yard. In a couple

238
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 3: of months, that is going to be one hundred percent

239
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 3: composted humanure. That simple solution right there can safely contain

240
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 3: and deal with humid waste that otherwise could potentially be

241
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: a very dangerous scenario if you're trapped at home for

242
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 3: an uncertain period of time.

243
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: Even with the sawdust an inch or two of sawdust

244
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: on top of your number one and number two, are

245
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: there unpleasant odors that arise even if the uplid is

246
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: locked down. Let's say, next time you go, does it

247
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: smell like sawdust or worse?

248
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: It is?

249
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: It is shocking how the sawdust will trap any of

250
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: those odors inside. It is not a disgusting operation. It

251
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: is not stinky. It is surprisingly clean and effective. Composting

252
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 3: toilets have been used for gezo I mean, thousands of years.

253
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 3: It's a different parts of the world, and quite frankly,

254
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 3: you'll probably wonder why in the world did we move

255
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 3: the flush toilets to begin with.

256
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: That's a good I mean, that's a that's an interesting premise. However,

257
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: the problem with that though, is you know you could

258
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: do it every once in a while. Now I have

259
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: a wood shop and I do and I know what

260
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: you're talking about with a sawdust because when you know,

261
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: the first thing you learn in first grade, when you know,

262
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't know when when a little bosifis he acts

263
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: up your spoiled milk that he drank on a dare

264
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: And if the janitor comes and thrust throws us sawdust

265
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: on it, and it like takes care of everything, the smell,

266
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: they wipe it up.

267
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: Everything is good.

268
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is that the five gallon bucket, though,

269
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: is too low to the ground for people of a

270
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: certain age to be able to get down and get

271
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: back up again. We need taller five gallon buckets, don't

272
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: you think.

273
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know what, I've got a solution for

274
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 3: that too. They make those kind of bold out poddy

275
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 3: chairs nice and you can actually just fold one of

276
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 3: those a five gallon bucket. It's gonna you know, it's

277
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 3: gonna be a it's gonna break the bank for about

278
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: forty five dollars instead of.

279
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: Twenty not bad.

280
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: How much food and water you should you should the

281
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm not talking here in Cincinnati, OHI. I'm not talking

282
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: about some god forsaken place like Sri Lanka or the

283
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: plains of Africa or Pittsburgh. I'm in Cincinnati, Ohio, Creek Stewart,

284
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: so you know this isn't in the far off regions.

285
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: I got I have stuff accessible that said, how much

286
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: stuff do I need to have around just in case?

287
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: I mean, so, we got significant amount of snow, we

288
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: got ice, we got sub zero temperatures. That's all in play.

289
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: But what do I need, like a day's worth of stuff? Yeah,

290
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: I already bought all the milk and bred a Kroger.

291
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 3: So well, it's a great question. So FEMA recommends two weeks,

292
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: and I believe that's an absolute bare minimum of two

293
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: weeks worth of food. So there's a there's a popular

294
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: phrase that America is about nine meals away from anarchy,

295
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 3: and what that means is that your average American has

296
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 3: about nine meals worth of food in their home right now,

297
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 3: and it's just not enough. So two weeks absolute minimum.

298
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 3: I'd like to see most people be prepared with around

299
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 3: a month's worth of backup food and water. And I

300
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: can give you some really great pointers for getting there

301
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 3: where you don't have to change your lifestyle. It's very

302
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 3: simple and really really easy on the budget.

303
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: All right, So real quick, how do you do? What

304
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: are you talking about?

305
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: Okay? So with the food department, you make a list

306
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: of your top twenty, your top ten or twenty items

307
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 3: that you eat all the time, okay, and you want

308
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 3: to make sure these items have a shelf life of

309
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 3: about one to three years. So we're looking at the

310
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 3: items on the inner aisles of grocery store, so can goods,

311
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 3: dried pastas, box meals. And when you get that lift,

312
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 3: you want to on your next trip to the grocery store,

313
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 3: you want to buy a few extra items of those

314
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 3: items on that lift, and you want to do that

315
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: every time you go to the grocery store. And so

316
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: over the course of five or six trips to the

317
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 3: grocery store, you are beginning to build what we call

318
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 3: long term food storage pantry. It's just going to put

319
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 3: those items in a closet or on a shelf up

320
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: in the basement or in an extra room, and as

321
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 3: you run out of them in the kitchen, because you

322
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 3: know you already eat them, you're gonna just pull those

323
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 3: called rotation rotating from our long term food storage pantry.

324
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: And that's the easiest way to build up two weeks,

325
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 3: three weeks, one month worth a few that you know

326
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 3: you're gonna eat.

327
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: Pretty easy. Yeah, you just rotate it down. New stock

328
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: goes to the basement and in the front of the

329
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: line goes upstairs. Right, yeah, okay, got.

330
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: It, and you you you you eat, you buy it,

331
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 3: you store what you eat, and you eat what you store,

332
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 3: versus this idea of going to the grocery store and

333
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: stocking up on something because it's on sale and then

334
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: you just end up with a big shelf full of

335
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: limejello that is just gonna go to Wait, yeah, what

336
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 3: about water?

337
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: What about drinking? I mean, you got enough if you

338
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: had to. You can drink water from the tank, not

339
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: the bowl, but the tank of your toilet. There's a

340
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: couple of gallons there, depending on how many toilets you have,

341
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: plus the pipes in the house another maybe five gallons.

342
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: So you got more water than you think.

343
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right now, But we want a real plan

344
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: in place. So the first thing people need to understand

345
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 3: is that the average American uses over eighty gallons of

346
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 3: water per day. Okay, that's a lot of We are

347
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: very dependent on water in all facets of our lives.

348
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: So the very minimum that you want to be able

349
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: to get away with is two gallons of water per

350
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: person per day, and you want to have that in

351
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 3: fresh storage, whether it's bottled water or gall jugs. You

352
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 3: want to have two gallons per person per day to

353
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 3: get you through about two weeks. Okay, it's a little

354
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: unrealistic for most people to store more water than that. Okay,

355
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: if you buy the water at the grocery store, it's

356
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 3: going to have a shelf life of up to five years,

357
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 3: so you don't have to worry about it going bad

358
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 3: anytime soon. Just put it away and forget about it,

359
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: just in case you ever use it. But on top

360
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 3: of fresh water storage, so that's super simple. Anybody can

361
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 3: do that. On top of fresh water storage, you want

362
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 3: to have a filter in play. The one I recommend

363
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: is called the Big Burkeye. It is a gravity fed

364
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 3: filter that will solve all of the problems you could

365
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: ever think of when it comes to bad things in water. Bacteria,

366
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 3: protozoan cysts, viruses, chlorine plastics, you know anything. You can

367
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 3: imagine the water you're that big Burkey is going to

368
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: filter it out. And so if you have a filter,

369
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 3: then there's a lot of water down there. Yeah, yeah,

370
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 3: there's all kinds of stuff. I mean, heck, you could

371
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 3: go to the Ohio River and pour it into your

372
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 3: big burkey and it would be totally clean to drink

373
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 3: coming out the other side. So investing in a filter

374
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 3: not only for daily use. I mean, heck, you'd be

375
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 3: shocked if you knew what was in your in your Oh.

376
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah yeah, I know a lot of people use

377
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: the Brita filter even though we got city water. So

378
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: Craig Stewart is on the Weather Channel's the host has

379
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: been on many shows too as well, obviously, and has

380
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: a book called The Disaster Ready Home, a step by

381
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: step emergency prepared dis manual for sheltering in place. This

382
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: conversation began with when the forecasters give you the one

383
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: inch of snow and tell you to have an emergency

384
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: blanket and food and water in your car and first

385
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: aid kid and a fire starter kit with an axe

386
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: and a gun in case that inch of snow and

387
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: you're stuck I don't know, off of Rybolt Road, you're

388
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: seventy four something like that, and acting as if you're

389
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: driving through the wilderness like it's a Jeep commercial or

390
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: something like that. You know, chances are you don't need

391
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: a gun and a survival kit. But again, fore warned

392
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: is forearmed. Creek all the best, good luck with the book.

393
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on the show. I appreciate you.

394
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 3: Hey, thanks good. Appreciate the opportunity.

395
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: Man, right, I always love having you back on, specially

396
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: Jursey weather events like this. Now you're not getting an

397
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: inch of snow. We're getting what's maybe six to twelve

398
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: who knows six to ten? Anyway, good news. This happens

399
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: on a weekend, so chance you're being stuck in your

400
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: car on the side of the road.

401
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 2: I was looking it up as he was.

402
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: Finishing there, because I couldn't remember a year it was.

403
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: We were talking about the I ninety five thing that

404
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: was in Virgil Fredericksburg, Virginia in January twenty twenty two,

405
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: so four years ago, if I like two years ago.

406
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: People are stuck there for like thirty hours because they've

407
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: got snow seven to fourteen inches and it came down

408
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: a lot harder and a lot faster than they thought

409
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: it did, so a lot of people were stuck and

410
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: I remember growing up in western New York when the

411
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: big blizzard hit in seventy seven, people were actually died

412
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: in their cars. So not that we're expecting that here

413
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: because I know we've got a lot more information and

414
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: also contacting people is a lot easier today than it

415
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: was then. But nonetheless, just some information to keep in

416
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: the back of your head, hopefully you never have to

417
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: use it anyway. Full forecast update is looking more like

418
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 1: reality here. This big storm we're going to get starting

419
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: on Saturday. All that and more just ahead on seven

420
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: hundred w
