So that’s me, the big dude sitting across from Tucker Carlson himself! Love that guy!
But enough about me, let’s get to the reason why you’re reading this article in the first place.
I’m sure you’ve seen ‘em.
You might have even referred to yourself as a “prepper” at one point.
This group of people tries to prepare for emergencies.
They stock up on essentials, grow their own food, and meticulously plan for a myriad of scenarios.
But amidst this well-intentioned preparation, they fall into a trap.
A critical mistake that could prove fatal for them and their loved ones in a real emergency.
And it boils down to this. They boast too damn much!
Look, understand the urge to talk about your achievements with like-minded folks.
But when it comes to survival, discretion isn’t just a virtue. it’s a necessity.
Every detailed post about a stocked pantry, Every proud showcase of a stocked pantry, a water supply, a communication method, is potentially a beacon.
In the digital age, knowledge is more than just power, it’s a currency. And in the wrong hands, the knowledge of your preparations could become an invitation.
To those unprepared, desperate, or opportunistic enough to take advantage of your work when society’s thin veneer cracks.
Just see what can happen when people boast too much.
This is why I want to talk to you about the Gray Man Philosophy.
The concept of the “gray man” is not talked about enough in my opinion.
It’s essentially about blending in, not standing out.
This applies not just in the physical realm but in the digital one as well. Talk about strategies, not specifics. Discuss ideas, not inventories.
In other words, find the balance.
Believe in God and his son Jesus…
But also believe in yourself, and especially, you must believe in your basic survival skills.
For example, you don’t see me sharing photos of my backyard so everyone knows where to find me!
But can talk about how I planned my backyard.
There’s a fine line between communal learning and oversharing.
The true strength of our preparations lies in the fact that a few trusted folks know about them.
But be careful about who you trust.
As we continue down this path of preparedness, let’s pivot towards a more guarded approach.
It’s possible to be both prepared and discreet, to be ready for any eventuality without broadcasting our readiness to the world.
This doesn’t mean retreating from our community.
It simply means navigating it with a calculated caution.
Sometimes the most potent weapon is the wisdom to remain unseen.
Let’s stay safe, smart, and cautious.
God bless, and keep yourself, as well as all those that you love, as safe as possible!
If you’re a Christian that’s living in the United States of America, Then please know that I am writing this survival prepper article For you, and all of those that you love, because what I’m about to Tell you below, may change the way you think about technology and religion!
What the heck am I saying?
Here I go…
There’s a quiet revolution happening.
One that might be as silent and sneaky as mercury in our waters.
It’s the invasion of Artificial Intelligence, or AI, in our workplaces.
I remember a time when jobs were straightforward.
You’d become trained in one skill, found employment, and if you were good, you’d retire with a golden watch.
But the landscape’s shifting, folks, and it’s shifting faster than ever before.
In just Richmond alone, over 75,000 jobs are at risk.
Jobs with real people. And real families.
AI is quickly taking over tasks once performed by good men. For many, this means the looming risk of job displacement.
But if there’s anything I’ve come to appreciate in recent years, it’s the power of pushing back.
No matter how difficult things may seem, there’s always a way to stand our ground.
So what can we do to push back against AI?
Well, there are two routes we can take.
First and foremost, just as we stockpile essentials for emergencies, it’s essential to have a savings buffer.
Ensure you have enough to cover your basic needs, including food and water, for a while. Just in case your job ever becomes obsolete.
It’s not about surrendering, it’s about being ready for anything.
And then there’s the long-term answer.
There are jobs and tasks that AI can’t perform.
And let me tell ya, if you want to ensure you’re not left in the AI dust, diversify your skill set.
Immerse yourself in learning opportunities outside your primary field.
Join workshops, read widely, and learn different skills. Make yourself irreplaceable by being adaptable.
Remember, folks, in the same way we prep for natural emergencies or any other unexpected event, we should be prepping for the changing landscape of work.
The world doesn’t cease spinning, and neither should our desire to learn and adapt.
Don’t let the AI wave take you by surprise.
Prepare, adapt, and diversify.
Because when the employment landscape shifts dramatically, it’ll be the ones who walk away from the herd who thrive.
So stay vigilant – and ready to respond to different challenges.
The dollar, like the current US military, is losing its value around the world.
I remember when the American currency, as well as the military, used to be proud.
A global leader.
But not anymore, folks.
Inflation is on the rise. And we are currently going through a tough US recession.
And yet, experts say it’s nothing compared to what’s coming.
There could be a time when our wallets are as good as empty.
If that time comes, we have to be ready.
And think outside of the box.
If the world goes to an end of times scenario, and everyone struggles to meet their basic needs, how can we ensure we have food to eat and a roof over our heads?
Well, how did our ancestors do it?
By trading valuable goods and services.
When we talk about bartering, most people think of precious metals, ammunition, or medication as the leading currency.
And while that’s true, there are some humbler and underrated everyday items that will become invaluable in times of need.
Matches, for example.
We take them for granted these days. But in a post-apocalyptic world, the ability to build a fire can mean the difference between a hot meal and going hungry.
So stocking up on waterproof matches? Not a bad idea.
Next up, hygiene products. In extended emergencies, cleanliness can be the first casualty.
Simple items like soap, toothpaste, or sanitary products can suddenly skyrocket in importance, not just for comfort but for health.
An infection in an emergency situation? Not on my watch.
Another underrated example is seeds. Yes, those tiny things we plant in our gardens.
And, of course, skills will be as valuable as items.
Knowing how to mend clothes, repair tools, or even basic first aid? That knowledge can make you indispensable in a pinch.
My advice? Take a moment to reconsider the value of what’s around you.
Begin collecting a few essential items.
Not just for your use,
But as potential barter material.
Remember, in challenging times, it’s often the little things that make the biggest difference.
Let’s keep an eye on the details, folks.
Imagine this chilling scenario unfolding before your very eyes:
The emergency alarms blare, indicating a dire situation.
A government official, closely tied to the current administration, barges into your sanctuary, demanding access to your hard-earned stockpile.
Your carefully accumulated supplies are loaded into their bag, and they start distributing them among neighbors, including those who once mocked the idea of a disaster ever occurring.
It sounds like a nightmare straight out of a dystopian novel or a page from a history book on communist regimes.
But believe it or not, due to Executive Order 13603, recently signed into effect by the Dems, this frightening reality is happening in America right now.
Under this executive order, the government has the authority to seize and redistribute YOUR essential resources, including food, water, and other vital supplies.
However, there is hope.
A survival expert has shared a 30-second “stockpile hack“
That can effectively block the government from laying hands on your carefully curated gear.
This invaluable information is a game-changer for every prepper out there.
Don’t delay! Watch the expert’s short video, especially the crucial segment at 3 minutes and 54 seconds, to safeguard your stockpile and protect your family’s well-being.
Outsmart the government by securing your stockpile.
Remember, knowledge is power, and the time to act is now.
Share this vital information with your fellow preppers before it’s too late.
God bless you for reading this, and please keep your family safe!
Whoopi Goldberg was never all that funny, I mean SISTER ACT was fine and all, but goodness gracious, not only isn’t she funny, but she, and all of her fellow co-hosts on THE VIEW and just completely insane!
How can these spawns of satan himself, believe that Christian values are evil, while at the same time believing that it’s moral to chop off the genitals of children?
Seriously, these ladies are super dangerous with what they “preach” to the American people.
It’s not okay to turn little boys into little girls, and it’s not okay to tell Christians that what we believe in is hateful!
It’s like the world, and everyone in the woke media, has lost their minds?
But why?
The good news, and I really believe this, is that the tide is starting to turn on people like Whoopi!
Stay strong my fellow Christians, and never be ashamed of what we believe in!
A PRAYER FOR THE WOMEN of ABC’s THE VIEW
Heavenly Father, giver of life and health:
Please cancel ABC’s The VIEW as soon as possible, comfort and relieve those challenged by serious and chronic mental and emotional illnesses. Give your power of healing to those who minister to their needs, that they may be strengthened in their weakness and have confidence in your loving care; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
As an American armed forces vet, and recipient of the Purple Heart, I’d love to share some of my favorite Christian prayers that I believe are extremely patriotic!
A PRAYER FOR AMERICA’S VETERANS

A PRAYER FOR VETERANS THAT LOST THIER LIVES ON THE BATTLEFIELD
O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, look kindly on your departed veterans who gave their lives in the service of their country. Grant that through the passion, death, and resurrection of your Son they may share in the joy of your heavenly kingdom and rejoice in you with your saints forever. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
We must remember those who fought the battle and have lost their lives for our freedom. Prayers for veterans will provide comfort to their souls as they cross over to the heavenly kingdom and rejoice with their creator Jesus Christ. No matter how long it’s been, it’s important that we communicate with those lost veterans through prayer and share with them our many thanks for their sacrifices that will never be repaid. Through our prayers for veterans, the average person here on earth has the ability to reach out and connect with those who’ve lost their lives and our now guardian angels from above.
A PRAYER FOR THE MILITARY COMMUNITY
Almighty God, Lord of Hosts, we call out to you as the One who is sovereign over all. Watch over and protect our nation’s military members and their families. Sustain them with your everlasting arms.
Take into your most gracious protection our service members currently deployed. May you be their comfort and their guide as they live and walk in a foreign land. Give them reassurance that you are a shield around them, an ever-present help in time of need. Grant our service members courage so that in all things they may serve without reproach. Encourage them while they also encourage one another.
As they serve around the world, we ask that you guard their families and loved ones back home. Provide them with peace and surround them with love as they mourn the absence of their loved one and long for their return. May they find hope and strength in you for the trials of each new day. Be with military children who endure the difficult burden of knowing their father or mother is in harm’s way for months on end. Guard these children’s hearts and minds despite the loneliness and uncertainty of having a parent deployed.
Lord God, be with marriages in the military. Preserve the bonds of husband and wife despite the stress that military life brings, stress only compounded by the decade of war our nation is in. Help military chaplains in their efforts to equip military marriages with ways to stay connected and communicate effectively despite the challenge of frequent deployments. Give husbands and wives strength and resilience to endure separations, frequent moves, and all the uncertainty military life brings.
For some, Lord, service takes their toll permanently in physical and emotional damage. For those wounded in battle, we pray you would come beside them.. Sustain and strengthen them amidst treatment, pain, and adjustments to life with an injury. Help them to find competent care and support, and to not be afraid to reach out for a helping hand or a listening ear. Be with their caregivers in the demanding role they have. Give caregivers renewed energy to offer support and love as they tend to the needs of the injured. Strengthen them as they both monitor and advocate for their loved one.
We know that war is very costly. Some have made the ultimate sacrifice, laying down their precious lives in service to our nation. Each one of them was a son or daughter, perhaps a husband or wife, father or mother. For all those who feel the pain and the toll of this war in the loss of their loved one, comfort them. Be a father to the fatherless and defender of widows. As they cast their cares on you, may they know the consolation of your love. We thank you for the freedoms these service members fought for which we enjoy today.
For each and every veteran who has served our country through the years, we thank you for their sacrifice. Comfort those who struggle in life after war. Help us to honor and care for those who have given so much for us.
Be with our nation’s leaders as well, and all those who make decisions for our military. Give them wisdom and discernment in everything they do.
Father God, we long for the day when swords will be beaten into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks. We long for your peace, for your shalom.
In Christ’s name we pray, Amen.
A PRAYER FOR OUR SOLDIERS CURRENTLY SERVING OVERSEAS
Lord, We lift up prayer for those who lead and direct our soldiers. May their daily decisions bring powerful protection and abundant provision to our men and women in uniform. Amen.
Whether a veteran is physically in battle or just mentally, we mustn’t forget the price that they’ve all paid. Some veterans have found salvation from their post-traumatic stress disorder however, others haven’t. When you utter prayers for veterans remember that a soldier’s work is never done. Even though they may not be physically on the front lines their mind and soul may still be there. All in all, it’s important to pray for protection for the men and women in uniform. It’s important to not forget their sacrifice. We shouldn’t categorize their prayers in representation of a holiday or celebration. Instead these prayers for our soldiers should be recited every day.
A PRAYER FOR PARENTS & CHILDREN of AMERICA’S MILITARY MEN & WOMEN
Gracious God, we give thanks for military men and women, both from the past and present, and for their courageous service and sacrifice to our country and its people to secure the blessings of life, liberty, and justice for all. May our remembrance be a timely reminder that our freedom was purchased at high cost, and should not be taken for granted. Give us resolve to labor in faithful service to you until all share the benefits of freedom, justice, and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
PSALM 136:1
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”
Oftentimes the good and bad in war can be misconstrued. The intentions of a soldier in combat can be forgotten because of the actions that take place during war. It’s important to remember the sacrifice that man has offered when we share prayers for veterans. The Lord will never forget the actions and intentions behind war – instead our Savior identifies the selfless act and the person that embodies those actions. Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself for His children – so that all sins would forever be forgiven. When uttering prayers remember that. Remember that our Savior is on our veteran’s side because He, too, was on the battlefield fighting for their allegiance and providing unconditional mercy.
WHY DOES THE AMERICAN MILITARY NEED OUR PRAYERS MORE THAN EVER BEFORE….
If the leaders of our U.S. military continue turning their backs on the power of Christian beliefs and morals, then all of our soldiers will start looking like this woke soldier below wearing a pink uniform…
while the heads of the American military will begin replacing the American flag with that of the LGBTQ+ rainbow one!
Seriously, please say as many daily Christian prayers as you can to help save our proud American armed forces!
Folks, are you aware that the media is hiding some very serious news about an attack that could hit our nation in a matter of weeks, possibly days?
With my deep connections to the military, it’s scary to know that we might have less than a week to prepare for this new deadly threat to America.
And I’m not talking about another situation where we all have to wear silly masks again.
This is much worse.
This kind of attack could lead to starvation, disease, and societal breakdown.
Folks, if you love your family, and you’d do anything to protect them, then I urge you to visit THIS PAGE NOWto get the details and learn how to prepare for this.
Trust me, this will be unlike anything we’ve ever experienced.
Imagine the following…
You’re flying in a commercial plane on a business trip…
And nothing is out of the ordinary….
Until, out of the blue…
All electric power inside the plane goes out.
No lights.
No power.
No ac.
No communication from the flight crew or the pilot.
And what’s worse…
No motor noise.
Just complete silence.
Soon, you start getting that sinking feeling in your stomach…
As the plane begins to drop at an accelerating speed.
Without any communication from the pilot…
Everyone begins to panic.
You try to call your wife, but there’s no way to communicate.
You’re now plunging towards the ocean at a speed of 600 mph, faster than a Tomahawk missile.
And none of the passengers know what’s going on.
The only thing you know for sure is that you’re going to die.
And all you can think of is how your wife and kids will manage to survive without you.
Most people think this nightmarish scenario is impossible…
But according to American hero and Purple Heart recipient Teddy Daniels….
It’s not only possible…
But probable.
Unfortunately, it could happen next time you get on a plane.
Teddy Daniels (pictured below) received a Purple Heart after his heroics in a firefight with the Taliban…
After getting hit with AK-47 rounds and almost losing a leg in Afghanistan…
He’s now, not only a world class survival prepper, but on a new mission to help Americans prepare for an imminent and devastating attack on America.
As an expert in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance…
Teddy Daniels has obtained critical intel from the US Congressional advisory board on Homeland Security.
Since you’re watching this video, you’ll be one of the few Americans who will actually know what’s going on…
And more importantly, you’ll know what to do to protect your family.
Most people will have no idea of what’s happening.
They’ll have no idea they’re about to enter a world of darkness, starvation and dehydration…
Because things will get much worse on Day 2.
Yes, at first, emergency generators will provide pockets of light and power.
But that won’t last long…
Because without transportation, nobody will be able to get fuel for generators.
Hospitals will shut down.
Americans on intensive care or life support will also be among the first ones to die.
Without utility generators, there will be no water pressure.
That means your water faucets will begin to run dry.
You won’t be able to flush your toilet either.
Once people realize power isn’t coming back…
The looting will begin in every neighborhood across America, including YOURS…
Even if you live in the suburbs.
Grocery store and pharmacy shelves will be wiped clean in a matter of hours.
Without transportation, stores won’t be able to restock everyday necessities.
Shelves will stay empty….
And the supply of food, water and medications will quickly dry up.
Without refrigerators, it won’t take long before food begins to spoil.
In just a few days this single attack would turn America back to the 18th century.
By the end of that first week…
Millions of unprepared Americans will begin to eat from garbage cans.
Hunger and panic will set in…
And America will descend into total, lawless chaos.
All hell will break loose with local gangs fighting over whatever limited resources we have left.
The mobs won’t think twice before killing you and your family…
And taking everything you have.
At that point, even your own neighbors will be desperate for food and clean drinking water… and they could become a threat to you.
It will be every man for himself.
If you’ve watched the movie Mad Max, you get the idea.
Look, I know this all sounds crazy…
And if you’re thinking this can’t happen here…
Just listen to what the former director of the CIA, James Woolsey, said.
He warned lawmakers that this Russian electronic nuclear weapon could:
“Destroy much of the electric grid from above the US with a single explosion. Two thirds of the US population would likely perish from starvation, disease, and societal breakdown. Other experts estimate the likely loss to be closer to 90 percent.”
This is coming from the former CIA director!
My patriot friend, this is NOT a drill.
The threat is absolutely real.
I’ve even discussed these national security issues with my good friend President Trump in a private dinner at his golf course in Jersey.
Make no mistake…
If you do nothing right now and just wait for the government to come save you…
I can almost guarantee you’ll be among the first casualties.
You see, thanks to my military background…
I uncovered shocking government intel that confirms NOBODY will come for help.
And as a faithful Christian…
A former Army Infantry Soldier who received a Purple Heart…
And a father of four kids…
I feel like it’s my duty to show you all the disturbing proof I’ve uncovered…
And tell you exactly what I’m doing to protect my family.
Because the truth is…
We might have less than 24 hours to prepare.
Like I said before, my name is Teddy Daniels.
And if my name sounds familiar to you…
Maybe you’ve seen me in Tucker Carlson.
After he saw the combat footage from the day I almost died…
Nothing gives you greater peace of mind than being able to supply your own food.
When you know that your family will not go hungry no matter what, you can feel a sense of security that most people can’t understand…
A sense of security that most people will not ever understand.
In the times we are experiencing, there are plenty of challenges that could lead to a food shortage.
From recession to global crises, we have seen everything during the past months.
I want to share with you how you can become your own food supplier, so that you can always survive comfortably.
If you follow everything in this article, then there is no possible way that your family can ever go hungry.
Long-term Food Storage
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room.
If you want to have enough food no matter what, you need to stockpile.
Below you will find the most essential goods you need to store.
Canned goods
Canned goods are non-negotiable when we are preparing for emergencies.
These little metal containers can last for years, making them ideal for long-term storage.
But remember, variety is key!
Stock up on fruits, vegetables, meats, and even soups.
And don’t forget to keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong their freshness.
Dehydrated and freeze-dried foods
Dehydrated and freeze-dried foods are a step further toward self-sustenance.
They’re lightweight, compact, and last even longer than canned goods.
You can either dehydrate your own food or shop for ready-made options.
Either way, make sure you store them properly in airtight containers to maintain their quality.
Mylar bags
Friends, this is where things start getting exciting.
Vacuum sealing your mylar bags can help you preserve your food’s freshness for years.
You heard me right, years!
Just make sure you follow the storage guidelines like keeping them in a cool, dark place to ensure they stay in tip-top condition.
Growing Your Own Food
When you’ve stockpiled as much food as you can, it’s time to make use of your garden.
Or, in other words, it’s time to select crops.
In survival situations, calories should be your main focus.
The main type you need to grow is calorie-dense crops like potatoes and corn.
Then there are nutrient-rich crops like leafy greens and tomatoes.
Everyone should have some of those in their backyard.
What a lot of people often neglect, however, are beans, peas, and squash.
These plants provide valuable nutrients and improve soil health through nitrogen fixation and natural pest control.
If you don’t have a lot of space, consider container or vertical gardening.
These methods allow you to grow more food in less space.
Which is really important when you are trying to maximize your produce.
Raising Livestock
I don’t know how many people raise their own livestock anymore…
But it is a game changer for sustainable living.
The No. 1 choice when deciding what animals to raise is chickens.
They provide a steady supply of eggs and meat, and their manure can be used as fertilizer for your garden.
The second option should be goats.
Goats are a valuable addition to any small homestead, providing milk, cheese, and meat.
Some other excellent options are rabbits, ducks, and goats.
They can also be used for land clearing and weed control, as they are browsers by nature.
By carefully selecting and managing small-scale livestock, you can create a diverse and sustainable food supply for your family, even in challenging times.
Research each animal’s specific needs and local regulations to ensure a successful and responsible food supply chain.
Foraging and Hunting
There could come a time when in spite of how self-sustained you’ve become…
You have to abandon everything and evacuate.
It’s a very unfortunate situation.
One that a lot of folks don’t even want to think about.
But remember, we are preparing for any eventuality.
If we have to bug out with nothing but our clothes and a small kit, we have to rely on our skills for survival.
Knowing how to forage and hunt for food can make a huge difference in these situations.
First, let’s talk about foraging for wild edibles.
This is something that you have to do safely.
Take the time to learn about the wild edible plants native to your region.
Invest in a reputable field guide or attend local workshops to become familiar with plant identification.
And for the love of God, be cautious of look-alikes!
Some edible plants have toxic counterparts.
If you eat something that you were not supposed to…
When there is no hospital nearby…
Let’s talk about something else.
Hunting
Knowing how to hunt can be invaluable in times of crisis.
A single adult deer can provide meat that can feed a family of four to six people for several weeks.
If you are good at hunting, you’ll be able to take care of your loved ones with no issues.
It’s crucial to invest time in developing your hunting skills, as it’s something that’s more complicated than most people think.
Tracking and stalking an animal requires a lot of experience and patience.
Also, make sure you know the local laws and regulations, and don’t ever hunt without a permit.
Practice ethical hunting by targeting abundant species, taking clean shots to minimize suffering, and making full use of the animal to minimize waste.
And of course, know how to properly skin, butcher, and package the meat, as well as how to store and cook it.
Foraging and hunting skills can secure nutritional food for everyone in your family in times of crisis.
Community and Cooperation
Humans have survived for such a long time thanks to building communities.
We are in this together.
Your local community is invaluable for sharing resources, knowledge, or even a helping hand.
In times of need, we can ensure that everyone survives.
If you want help from your neighbors, don’t be shy to ask.
And don’t hesitate to help them in return.
Trading with your fellow preppers is an excellent way to strengthen connections and ensure everyone’s needs are met.
And speaking of togetherness, why not establish a community garden?
Collective food production has numerous benefits, like increased food security and shared labor.
By assigning roles and responsibilities, you can create an efficient and thriving garden that benefits everyone involved.
When it comes to ensuring you have enough food to feed your family, anything goes.
I would advise you to take advantage of every one of the tips in this article.
The key to survival is preparation.
So take the time to produce your own food, and comfortably make it unscathed out of any emergency.
However, there is one issue that most people overlook, when it comes to their food storage…
Sanitation.
Whether it’s a natural disaster or a power outage, the risk of foodborne illnesses can increase in emergency situations.
And this makes it crucial to follow proper food safety guidelines.
If you ignore this step, then your whole family instantly becomes vulnerable to food poisoning and disease.
To minimize the risk of foodborne illness, it’s important to keep your cold food cold (below 40°F).
This can be achieved by using a cooler or insulated container with ice packs to keep perishable items cold.
Additionally, it’s important to regularly examine the temperature of refrigerated and frozen items to ensure they are being stored at the correct temperature.
When you prepare the food, it’s crucial to practice good hygiene.
This includes washing hands frequently and cleaning every surface and utensil thoroughly.
If you don’t have any running water, you can use a hand sanitizer or wipes for that step.
If you’re using alternative energy sources, such as a wood-fired stove or solar cooker, it’s important to ensure the cooking temperature is high enough to kill harmful bacteria.
So we’ve covered preparation.
Let’s talk about storage.
It’s very important to store perishable items in airtight containers and to rotate food regularly to prevent spoilage.
If you suspect that a food item has gone bad, throw it out.
The water that you use to cook is also vital.
If the water supply is compromised, it’s important to boil or treat water before consuming or using it for food preparation.
These steps might seem boring, but they play a very vital role in preparedness.
Don’t neglect them!
In fact, if you think someone else could benefit from following these precautions, why don’t you share this with them?
