This week we have a bonus episode for you. We recorded a live video over at the Survivalist Prepper YouTube channel about preparedness planning, China infiltrating the government, and where we could be heading in 2021.

We also went over what exactly the deep state is. Before Donald Trump, our politicians at least made an effort to cover this up, but now the door is open for all to see.

Show Topics This Week…

Planning and Building a Foundation: To start the show off we went over 2 of the most important aspects of preparedness when your first starting out. These are preparedness planning, and building a good foundation.

China Infiltrating the Government: To anyone reading this, it probably comes as no surprise that China is a bigger threat to the U.S. than Russia ever was…or will be. We also talked about this in a past podcast here.

Pine Island &The Deep State: Brian found a video with Saager Enjeti from the Hill that shows a Chinese business man praising the fact that Joe Biden will soon be in office. He also explained how Pine Island Capital is a conduit for the deep state.

Removing Joe Biden: With Pelosi talking about the 25th amendment a few months back, and with the Mainstream Medias sudden interest in the Hunter Biden story, it begs the question, Are there plans on replacing Joe with Kamala?

Where are we headed going into 2021: All of this leads us to the question “what is 2021 and beyond going to look like.” Unless you are one of the elite economic troubles are just around the corner. And with this Obama 2.0 administration who knows what they try to pull.

Fauci & the Vaccine: Are you taking the vaccine when it becomes available to the general population? I will avoid it like the plague (pun intended). In the show we talked about what they might do to ensure we don’t have a choice.

In todays show the guys talk to Dave who does the RV Prepper Podcast about how he incorporates his RV into his preparedness plans. Dave and his wife have been prepping for many years now, and he shares his thoughts on what he’s learned in that time.

This show is yet another example of how prepping and being prepared is different for everyone. We each need to factor our strengths, weaknesses and lifestyle into our preparedness plans, and do what works best for us.

Show Topics

Below are a few of the topics we covered inn this weeks show, and you can also click the link above that says “Click here to jump to each topic” to skip to each segment.

In the After Show we talked about how this country is slowly turning into a socialist country. Brian and Dave have been to quite a few socialist countries, and shared their experiences in the show. The After Show segment is available to Bug Out Location members here.

* Testing your Preps: Having the right prepping supplies is great, but making sure they work is the important part. It’s not only important to research these preparedness supplies before we buy them, we also need to put them to the test. A SHTF situation is no time to find out that fancy solar blanket isn’t all its cracked up to be. * Family on Board & Prepping Urgency: We talked to Dave about how “onboard” his family is with prepping, and some challenges with getting the buy in from family members who are a little apprehensive. We also talked about why people tend to let off the gas pedal with preparedness.* Prepping Hacks: We’ve all seen the videos about the 150 ways to start a fire, and how to make cordage out of a 2ltr bottle. While some of these are great, some serve no purpose other than wasting your time. * Bug Out Locations & Prepping Gear: Dave has his cabin and an RV which basically gives him 2 bug out locations. We talked to him how both of these locations work into his prepping plans. * Evasion & Prepping Contacts: Traveling in an RV for half the year offers both benefits and challenges. We talked to Dave scouting different locations, and his contacts within the RV community. * Covid Preppers: This pandemic has caused an increased interest in RV’s, and people wanting to “get away” from other people. We talked about how because of the pandemic the crazy prepper stigma is going away. * Where the Country is Headed: Regardless what your thoughts are on the election or Covid, there is no doubt we could be headed for hard times in the near future. The economy and government corruption are 2 of the main concerns heading into 2021.

Spread the Word

With all the censorship and the trend of silencing people with dissenting opinions going on all over social media, it’s becoming harder for preppers to get the word out.

You can help us, and any or your favorite podcast hosts and prepping website owners by sharing their information with your friends. Leaving a review on iTunes, subscribing to a YouTube channel, or just sharing a podcast or article can go a long way.

Live Video

The Duff&Dale show not only has the audio podcast, but we also do live videos every week on our YouTube channel. You can join us every Friday at 5 PM (MST) where we answer questions and go over current events that apply...

Operational security & risk assessment come down to three basic principals. What do you have to protect, what are you protecting it from, and what are you protecting it with.

Today in the show Duff & Dale have Ed Clark on to talk about risk assessment, your risk profile, as well as some of his preparedness plans.

This weeks Show Topics…

Below is a brief description of what we discussed in this weeks show. You can use the links above to jump directly to the point in the podcast where we talked about each subject.

Ed’s Prepping Plans: Along with going over assessing your risk profile, Ed also gave us an inside peek at some of the things he’s doing to become better prepared. While Ed doesn’t label himself a “prepper” he understands the value of being prepared.

Risk Assessment: Operational security starts with doing a risk profile. the three things we should ask ourselves is what am I protecting, what an I protecting if from, and what am I protecting it with.

This not only goes for the prepping supplies we have stored, but also our online security, and information security.

Gun Legislation: If Biden and/or Harris become the next U.S. president, who knows what kind of gun legislation we can expect.

Putting Yourself at Risk: Towards the end of the show we talked about some of the stupid shit people do that put them at risk. This conversation ended up becoming all about open carry and why it’s a bad idea.

Grayl Water filter & Hydration: We all know that being able to hydrate is the number 1 priority when it comes to survival. We talked with Ed about some of his options, and also the Grayl Water bottle filter he recently purchased.

This week Brain and Dale go over some great low cost gift ideas for preppers, and review the movie “The Plot Against the President. They also had Lisa on a little later in the show to bring back Tin Foil Hat Time.

Lisa talked about how she was listening to Clyde Lewis about how the Covid vaccine could turn out to be the mark of the beast. We try to have fun with Tin Foil Hat Time, so don’t take this too literally.

10 Prepping Gift Ideas

It’s that time of year again where every prepping and survival website posts a list of good gift ideas for preppers. Here is a list of the 10 prepper gifts we came up with that we might want as a gift.

For more detailed information about this list you can read the 10 prepper gifts article here.

Here are Dale’s 5 Gift Ideas…

* Boker Plus 09BO778 Fire Starter* 25000mAh, Tranmix Solar Power Bank* Gas ONE Propane or Butane Stove* Datrex 3600 Emergency Food Bar* Off Grid Tools OGT-SA100 Survival Axe

Here are Brian’s Gift Ideas…

* 4Monster Hiking, Lightweight Packable Backpack* Gerber LST Knife* Titan 620LB SurvivorCord* LifeStraw Go Water Filter Bottle* S.O.L. Lightweight Emergency Bivvy

The Plot Against The President

If you haven’t watched the movie The Plot Against the President I highly suggest you do. Even if you grew tired of the whole Russia conspiracy crap, this documentary really puts everything into perspective.

Below are some of the points we took away from this documentary…

* In this article they talk about how this movie was held back by Facebook and Amazon for 2 week before the election * We watched this play out over the course of 2 years and became complacent with it. This Documentary put’s everything into 2 hours and should be alarming to anyone, regardless of political affiliation. * If you watch this and still think it’s a conspiracy that the MSM is aligned with the left, you are choosing to ignore it. * It tells the full story of why Michael Flynn was targeted, and why Trump should have never caved on the Flynn situation. * What we have done to other countries over the years is now getting turned against U.S. citizens. * We are turning into a banana republic, and no one cares. * This is why I believe there is something going on with this election and the voting, and also why I think we will never know.

Tin Foil Hat Time

In the show this week Lisa join us to go over how the Covid vaccine could be the mark of the beast from biblical prophecy. We also talked about other things like cellphones and implants that could be the mark of the beast.

Live Video and BOL

We mentioned in the beginning and the end of the show that we are going to try and be more consistent as far as the live videos go. W plan on doing then on Saturday nights if it’s only Brain and I. If we have a guest on with us it will be either Friday or Saturday.

We are also doing an “after show” segment were we end the live stream and talk one on one with Academy members.

Today in the show Dale and Brian talk to Morgan who runs the Rogue Preparedness website and YouTube channel. They cover a wide range of topics including prepping in a dry climate, gimmicky prepping supplies, possible food shortages, prepping mistakes and more.

If you haven’t already, make sure and subscribe to Duff & Dale on YouTube to get notified every time we go live, or post other videos. You can also find us on Parler where we’re working on building a big prepping community.

To find out more about Morgan and Rogue Preparedness you can subscribe to her YouTube channel here, and she also has her website here. She is very active on YouTube and posts about a wide range of prepping topics. She also shares her own preparedness journey.

Topics From the Show…

Prepping in a Dry Climate: We talked about some of the challenges Morgan faces living in a dry climate. How she gets water, gardening, hunting and even predator’s.

Bunkers, Silos & Rich Preppers: Somehow we stumbled onto the topic of underground bunkers, and how rich people are about the only people who can afford these.

Gimmicky Prepping Supplies: Most of us have fallen for them, and we probably will again. We talked about some of the prepping supplies that are just plain unnecessary gimmicks.

One Uppers & Opinionated Preppers: If you’ve been on line in prepper groups you have no doubt come across the “one upper” prepper. We discussed how we deal with them in the show.

Food Shortages & Lock Downs: We talked about how food is in short supply is some places, and how that could get even worse in the coming months. We also covered what the next round of lock downs could mean, and the after affects of it.

3 Big Prepping Mistakes: At the end of the show each of us gave our thoughts on some of the biggest prepping mistakes people make. You can jump to that section of the sow using the links above.

Updates at D&D…

We are making some big changes here at the Duff & Dale show, and we have some great plans lined up to make things even better. The first thing you might notice is the production quality or our live videos. Check it out below and see what you think.

We are also working on making some changes at The Bug Out Location membership site. We plan on updating and adding courses, and also updating the site on a weekly basis.

Right now we are offering a half price special good until January 2021. Make sure and take advantage of this offer while you can, because once we get the ball rolling the price is going to go up.

In todays show Brian and Dale have Glen Tate & Shelby Gallagher hosts of Prepping 2.0 on to talk about Civil Unrest, Media Bias, The State of the United States, and their prepping journeys.

This show is basically a coffee table conversation covering topics that are at the heart of preparedness. These topics are also very relevant to what our lives could look like in the coming years.

Censorship and the Exodus to Parler

We began the show talking about why we have all chosen to put Facebook on the back burner and head over to Parler. For those that don’t know, Parler is a new social media website whose foundation is based on free speach.

Here is a short video about how to use Parler, and you can find the links to follow all of us below the video

Media Bias and Election Reform

While the mainstream media bias is nothing new, the heights they are willing to go seem to be. From the cover up of the Hunter Biden story, the the complete unwillingness to even speak about election fraud, their bias is undeniably.

The 4 of us also talked about if it’s possible that we see some sort of election reform when programs like Dominion, and the governments inability to keep accurate voter rolls.

Unfortunately none of us had very high hopes. It seems to be the American way to forget about important issues when the next crisis comes along.

Glen & Shelby’s Book Predictions

Glen and Shelby live in the pacific northwest and spoke of their experiences with Liberal city decay. It’s no coincidence that large cities are mainly run by liberals, and people are fleeing these large cities in mass.

During the show Glen and Shelby shared a few examples about how some parts of their fictional books have become fact. Glen actually gave Shelby “Nostradamus award” for how prophetic her book was. There was much more to this story in the show, as well as how they met.

Prepping Popularity

To illustrate the point about how bad things are getting here in the U.S. Shelby shared some stats about how popular prepping has become since the Covid pandemic started.

The shocking part of these numbers wasn’t how many people were preparing because of the pandemic, a large majority think Civil Unrest is highly likely.

Prepping Challenges & Prepping as a couple

To wrap up this weeks show we all discussed how having electricity in most disaster scenarios is an absolute must, and a few ways to go about it. In any disaster (big or small) the grid would likely be affected and our daily routines would nee...

Today in the show Brian and dale talk to filmmaker Michael Lees. In his documentary Uncivilized, Michael Lees chronicles his journey as he survives deadly Category 5 Hurricane Maria in a bamboo hut in the forest on the island of Dominica.

He went into the forest with some basic survival gear, a few books, a camera, and a burning desire to answer the question: “What makes a good life? “Halfway into his quest, unexpected Hurricane Maria devastated the island and changed the environment drastically.

After returning home and living without power, running water, and internet for 3 months, he eventually uncovered much more than the answer he had initially been searching for.

The major themes of the film include survival, spirituality, minimalism, adversity, climate change, man vs. nature, and questioning the ideas of development and progress, to name a few.

Uncivilized The Movie

Michaels article in The Guardian

Michaels Websitehttps://michaelleesmedia.com/

Today Brian and Dale discuss what The Great Reset is and how close we could be to a 1 world government, deciphering the real Covid numbers, and some common prepping mistakes.

They also covered the post election chaos that is likely to happen regardless who wins, and the plans for the future of the Duff & Dale Show.

The Great Reset

The Great Reset has the potential to reshape the U.S. as we know it. The American mentality seem to be more accepting of the idea as each generation passes as we forget about how and why we were founded.

In the show we talked quite a bit about a video from Full Magnitude on YouTube with Clyde Lewis as a guest. We played a couple short clips from this interview that went over how they are using Covid, the civil unrest, and the economy to further their agenda.

Here is the full video from Full Magnitude…

The Covid Conundrum

With Covid being so politically charged it’s hard to figure out what the actual facts are, and what is being blown out of proportion. While some of these numbers are in one way or another attributable to Covid, some give a distorted perception about how deadly Covid is to the average person.

There has been reporting that the statement that President Trump made about hospitals exaggerating numbers is false, but her is one of the rare fact checking articles that states Trump was right.

Prepping Mistakes 

Towards the end of the show we talked about how some people claim that the Rule of 3’s has been debunked and is misinformation. We talked about how it’s not a hard and fast rule, but rather a good guideline.

We also covered some common prepping mistakes people make and ways to avoid them. While some are fairly easy to fix, some may require time and patience.

It’s election Day! 

Closing the show out we talked about the presidential election and the fallout might be. We played clips of 2 different vides to illustrate the point that the media is once again dishonest.

The truth is the left leaning groups are responsible for a vast majority of the violence, chaos and riot’s going on around the country today, not these “horrible” right wing groups.

Here is one video of Mark Suckerberg justifying his censorship tactics.

And here is a clip from The Daily Wire talking about what they are doing in D.C. and other parts of the country…all liberal cities.

The New Bug Out Location 

We mentioned in the show that rather than starting a membership area from scratch we plan on updating the Bug Out Location (formerly The Survivalist Prepper Academy) and making it one of the best prepping resources available.

We plan on adding new content weekly, as well as updating some of the current courses. We also plan on adding some more “advanced prepping” courses in the near future.

If you are already member, this is great news for you.

This week Dale and Brian talk about the Chinese influence on our economy and how they have seemingly infiltrated the mainstream media, and social media. They also go over the “dark winter” comment by Joe Biden, and gun legislation.

You can find all the links to the video clips we played in the show below, as well as a little more detail about the topics covered this week.

The China Connection

If you just listen to the mainstream media you probably think that the biggest threat to the United states is Russia. This is because the media has been gas lighting us for 4 years now.

The truth is China has been trying to get their fingers into our economy and popular culture for years. In the show we played a couple of clips from Zooming In with Simone Gao. Make sure and watch the full video below.

Government Waste & Spending

The American economy looks to be on a bumpy road in the coming years, and how, when and/or if it rebounds all depends on who you talk to. Some people say it won’t take long to rebound once Covid subsides, but we don’t share that opinion.

Regardless what happens in the next few years, there could be more done to take the “bloat” and unnecessary spending in Washington. The video below is senator Tim Scott talking about government waste.

Winter is Coming

In the final debate Biden made the statement that we are headed for a “Dark Winter”. Back in 2001 there was a government simulation called Dark Winter that projected what would happen if terrorists were able to spread smallpox.

Here is a video from BlazeTV that talks about that simulation…

Since then there have been 2 more simulation with the most current one being done in 2019 called Clade X. Clade X focuses on a much larger scenario which was centered around a virus like Covid coming from nature.

Firearm Legislation

Towards the end of the show we talked about the firearms legislation that we might be looking at with a Harris/Biden administration. Yes, I said Harris/Biden because I don’t think Biden will last a full 4 years…or possibly even 1.

The Final Debate

The final presidential debate was more like a chess match that the boxing match the first debate was. While it wasn’t as fun to watch, it showed the differences in each candidates approaches to Covid and the economy.

Other Places to Listen & Watch

We have some great things in the plans for 2020 and if you’d like hear more from us you can do so on YouTube and Facebook when we go live.

We are planning on moving away from the Facebook platform, but for now that is the only realistic option. When we make any changes we’ll let you know here or on the show.

Today we cover how Tech giants get to decide what we should see, how the government keeps us pitted against each other, and how having morals seems to be a thing of the past.

These days more than ever it seems like you are allowed to have one opinion or the other, but everything in the middle is not allowed. The mentality of the far left and democrat politicians seems to be a “win at all costs” mentality.

Biden Scandal

When anything controversial happens these days it seems we are not allowed to find out what’s actually going on. Big Tech and the media have taken on the responsibility of deciding what is news.

If you are just watching the mainstream media coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal You’d think it was Russian misinformation, a vast right wing conspiracy and completely false.

The truth is, we have no idea at this point how valid or invalid the information in these laptops is. But that doesn’t stop the ministry of truth from deciding for us.

Here is a video we played a clip of in the show from Sky News in Australia which is a good example of how reporting could be done. It’s also a great interview with Steve Bannon about this laptop scandal.

Censorship & State Run Media

The slippery slope of censorship all started with Alex Jones and turned into A major news publication. In the show we talked about what things need to be changes, and what the ramifications might be.

This clip from the Tucker Carlson show explains really well how we should all be concerned about the willingness to disregard the 1st amendment by big tech and out politicians.

Watch the latest video at foxnews.com

Divided We Stand

Towards the end of the show we talked about how and why we as people are much easier to control when we are divided.

We also covered what it would take to get rid of this 2 party system we currently have that keeps giving us 2 terrible choices to choose from.

Buy a Shotgun

In the show we played an audio clip of a song Darren Criss that we found on The Gregory Brothers YouTube channel. We were talking about Biden’s gun control agenda and this video came to mind.
